Page 15 of His Revenge
I shrug.
“I went to boarding school, and I turned out fine.”
Scott shakes his head before taking a swig of his new drink.
“You most definitelydidn’tturn out fine,” he drawls.“You’re fucked up in the head, Brad.If anything, this proves it.”
I shrug.
“Maybe.Or Minnie could get an abortion if she wants.I won’t oppose it.It’s more for Joelle to know that I’ve knocked up her daughter.That’swhat I’m going for, and once it happens, then we can walk it all back.”
But as soon as I utter the words, I know that there’s no way I would let Minnie terminate the child.In fact, the thought of Minnie growing round and swollen with my child in her belly fills me with warmth.I have a vision, suddenly, of the beautiful young girl standing at the stove, stirring something with her belly big with a baby.Beside her, a tot bangs his spoon on a high chair, smiling toothlessly at his mother.Warmth floods my chest at this vision, and I can see it: a houseful of kids, with Minnie smiling at me each time we look at each over the children’s heads.
But then I jerk forward, blinking with shock because what the fuck is going on?Since when have I dreamed of a happy family, complete with a woman at the stove and kids underfoot?The women I’ve dated in the past were always career minded.Even Joelle has always worked full time as a nurse, and she did well professionally.
But now, I’m having visions of a goddamn summer intern pregnant with my babies.Holy fuck.Maybe I should see a therapist.
Meanwhile, Scottie’s shaking his head.
“You’re cold, motherfucker.Real cold.Don’t get me wrong because it’s not about the morality of abortion or any shit like that.I fully support a woman’s right to do what she chooses with her body.But this isn’t about that.It’syouwho’s fucked up and who’s going to royally fuck up everyone around you.Including yourself.”
“Yeah, I know,” I say in a grim tone.“I never expect to come out of a war unscathed.But that’s why you should never pick a fight with me to begin with,” I add with a shrug.“Joelle knew that when we got married, and she’s the one who’s going to suffer the consequences.”
This time, Scottie chooses not to speak.My friend merely sips at his drink again, still shaking his head while shooting me a contemplative look.But I know he’s right.The path of total destruction I’ve chosen is only going to lead to pain and suffering for everyone involved, including me.But the conversation has served its purpose because after talking it out with my friend, I know that I want Minnie pregnant ...whether she’s ready or not.

Minnie
It’s strange because after the intense session in Brad’s office, I haven’t seen him again.I climaxed in his arms, as the billionaire watched with ravenous blue eyes.
“So beautiful,” he crooned, stroking my cheek softly after I was done, panting and sated.“You’re incredibly responsive, sweetheart.”
Then, he lifted me out of his arms and set me on my feet.I was as unsteady as a newborn filly and Brad chuckled, harsh streaks on those angled cheeks as he took in my dazed and flushed state.
“Sweetheart, I’d recommend going to the women’s restroom to tidy up a bit before heading back to your workstation,” he remarked in a deep voice.“You look a little disheveled.Like you just got fucked,” he clarifies.
My eyes grew wide as my hands patted my golden hair.
“I do?”
Brad nodded, smirking with male satisfaction.
“You do,” he said.“I’d definitely say to rinse a little down there too,” he said, gesturing to my pussy area.“Use air freshener maybe?Or sometimes women carry perfume with them.”
I stare at him because is this man telling me to clean my pussy?To rid myself of sex smells after the massive climax he just gave me?But Brad grins again and lifts his fingers to his nose, inhaling deeply.
“Yeah, you’re musky, sweetheart,” he intones.“I’d definitely spritz a little something down there.”
Oh my god, this man is so dirty!With a jerk of my chin, I summon my dignity and stalk with as much pride as I can to the door before letting myself out.I swear, as it swings closed, I can still hear Brad’s low chuckle in my wake.That infuriating asshole!I swear, I could slap his handsome cheek, just as soon as kiss it.
But what in the world happened in Brad’s arms?I was unsteady for the rest of the day, and unable to focus on much at all.Thank goodness we had no work to do because any finished product would have come out shoddy and riddled with errors.But I couldn’t hide my dazed state entirely, and some of the other interns noticed.
“Are you okay, Minnie?”Juliette whispered, her eyes filled with concern.“You seem ...um, different somehow.”
I sat up and managed a peppy smile.
“No, I’m totally fine!”I insisted.“Just a little dizzy because of the heat.Is it hot in here?”
