He nodded. “Yes. Mom called to let me know before you come in.”

“We can discuss all of this later,” he said pointedly as he curved his fingers even more and she licked her lips, and they stared at each other, forgetting Michael. This was a new level of titillation for them, continuing to gratify each other whileanother male was in the room, that male being his paternal twin brother.

“Hello, I’m still in here, you two.” He said with humor, shaking his head.

“I actually stopped by to see Ambra. Do you know where she is?”

Ben’s eyebrows rose. Things were still rough between his brother and Ambra if he didn’t know that she was helping her sister out by teaching basic computer applications to women and men trying to get a new skill and reintegrate back into the workforce. She did this once a week in the afternoon. While another woman, Diamond called Mouse, taught at the other location to just women who were in shelters and running from abuse.

Michael scowled unhappily after hearing this.

“Don’t worry; Ambra can’t stay mad for long. Just continue to be there for her, and as this is now blowing over, everything worked out for me. She will calm down.”

He nodded before his gaze landed on Ben. “What is her schedule like for Friday? I was thinking of taking her on an early weekend getaway after our parents arrive tomorrow. I know she will want to spend time with her par−”

Diamond’s pussy took that moment to clamp down hard on his fingers, her moisture coating down on his fingers and wetting his hand, signaling that her orgasm was near. Ben could now smell her excitement, and if he could, so could Michael.

He glared at his brother because it was time for him to leave; no one got to hear his wife’s cries of pleasure but him.

“Check with Inis on her schedule.” Ben growled at the same time he saw Michael sniff the air, and he raised his darkeyebrows before getting up and making his way out of the room, not finishing what he was planning on doing with Ambra.

His wife began to let out the moans she’d been holding while Michael was sitting across from them, and he moved his mouth back over hers to silence the screams that he knew she was going to emit when her body exploded.

His fingers plundered deep into her back entrance and the front; he used the bottom of his palm to stimulate her clit, while moving his upper body against hers, her nipples pebbled hard, and he pumped his cock against her leg.

She came hard, and he followed, not able to stop himself. The way her body responded to his always took him to the height of ecstasy.

He rained kisses down her face to her throat as her body shuddered in his arms, and she wrapped her arms around him, returning kisses across his jaw and the side of his neck. He moved away to see her eyes soft on him, and she gave him a sweet smile.

God, he loved this woman. He’d been obsessed with the notion that they belonged together and had only judged her on her outside image and who he thought she was, but after spending time with her, he was able to see all the different layers that were slowly being revealed to him, and he wanted more time to continue to explore who Diamond really was. Hope spread through him that her look just now meant that she was falling for him too and that this marriage was not going to end within a year.

Instead, it ended the next day.

Chapter 16

Ambra entered her condo, exhilarated but tired from her long day. Running her new business with Ben was keeping them busy as they began to take on new clients that needed their services. She was glad that Ben had agreed with her regarding turning down certain questionable clients, especially the one they met, Silas. The man emanated dangerous energy, and she didn’t want that type of clientele in the business she was running with Ben.

Ben had called Silas on the phone and spoken to him. Afterward he’d entered her office, saying not to worry and that Silas would be looking elsewhere.

She slipped out of her high heels and laid her bag down on the side table near the door. She heard her phone ping and glanced down at a message from one of the women at the shelter that she taught at asking her a question about one of the functions she’d shown them this afternoon. Her sister had invited her out to lunch the other day, where Ambra had hoped to have an opportunity to talk to her about what was going on, but instead Diamond had monopolized both their lunch hour with explaining some of the new programs she was now tasked with on top of raising funds.

Diamond was working to set up learning opportunity programs at the shelters and wondered if she would volunteer her time to help teach simple computer skills to the women and men that were interested in learning new skills to reintegrate them into the workforce. She mentioned that another woman would help out at the other shelter for just women.

She knew what her sister was doing, trying to keep her busy and out of her business. Whatever her reason, she was actually glad she was doing this. She liked the fact she was teaching people a helpful resource for them to acquire knowledge and training that could help to change their lives. But she was also able to juggle multiple tasks: her work at BenAm Technologies and trying to find out what Ben was hiding on his laptop.

Ambra was frustrated but not surprised she couldn’t crack into Ben’s system yet. He put in a lot of protection just like she did on hers. But it was only a matter of time. Both of them had a knack for programming and had been at the top of their classes together. She’d created software that was searching for a weakness in the network system of Ben’s, and she knew he also knew she was trying to and was continuously fortifying his.

She made her way past the table and wearily rubbed her eyes when a delicious scent hit her nostrils. She sniffed and hummed happily. Ambra was still hurt and angry with Michael, but they were talking it out, and he was being creative in ways to make her happy and to forgive him. Tonight, she figured he was trying to win her over by feeding her a meal.

“Michael.” She called out.

“In the kitchen.” She shivered when she heard his rich baritone. She’d always found his voice to be very sexy, and if she could wrap herself around his tone and get off, she would.

She grinned at her thoughts and turned the corner into her kitchen to come up short, staring at the vision in front of her. She was faced with a naked Michael wearing only an apron, the glutes of his ass flexing as he moved back and forth over the stove and then turned it off. He leaned over, picking up a glass of red wine, and then turned toward her, his gaze running over herin appreciation, even though he’d helped her so graciously get dressed this morning, fucking her into each item of her clothing until she screamed herself almost hoarse, the aftereffects having her receiving the watchful eye of Ben this morning during their meeting. She was sure he knew what they’d been doing before she came into work.

Michael strolled over to her like a sleek panther, his silver eyes heated, and her body reacted to him whenever he was near her.

He bent over and gave her a welcome-home kiss that had her melting until he pulled away and handed her a glass of red wine.
