Brigitte gathered her things “Thank you guys for keeping me company until Brian came back.”
They said their goodbyes and walked out of the door.
Téa didn’t miss any of it, “Do you think they will be ok?”
“Who Brian and Brigitte?”
“No. Brian and Jessie.”
“I hope so.”

As soon as Brian and Brigitte entered their suite, she turned around and slapped him hard across the face.
“You don’t think I can smell her on you? You told me that you were only friends!”
Brian took the slap. He deserved it. “We were just friends.”
“What until tonight? It must be hard to still be ‘friends’ after you’ve screwed each other’s brains out.”
He didn’t answer because even though he didn’t fully make love to Jessie he’d cheated on Brigitte in every way imaginable.
Brigitte paced the floor basically talking to herself, “Okay we can fix this. You’ve just had a little indiscretion. I’m sure you will make sure this won’t happen again. Ughh…I can’t wait to get out of this place and get back to my life. First thing I’m going to do is fire my agent.”
“You do realize we might be here for a very long time and life as we’ve known it before is over.”
“He’s the one who thought this romance between us would be good for our careers.”
“Wait…what?”
“Oh don’t act all surprised like you didn’t know this was part of the plan.”
Brian took a step closer to her, “I didn’t know, Brigitte. So, you’re not in love with me?”
“Well…apparently you don’t love me either.”
“I just broke the heart of the woman I love because I’d made a commitment to you.”
Brigitte whipped around, “I knew you were in love with her. I could tell the moment I met her the first time.”
“I’m sorry. You don’t deserve this and I never meant to hurt you but I love her.”
“I can’t believe I’m saying this. I like you a lot and I’ll definitely miss the sex, but if you truly love her, then you shouldn’t be here with me.”
Brian was surprised that Brigitte was being so reasonable. He kissed on the cheek before walking over to grab his duffle bag, “Thank you.” And walked out of the door.
Although she put on a front that Brian leaving her was no big deal…it was. Brigitte didn’t take rejection well. No, she didn’t love him but he left her for a woman who thought couture was a pair of sweatpants.
When Dr. Sheitz wanted her to get close to Brian after seeing his pictures in the tabloids with Jessie, Brigitte couldn’t imagine that she would be in this situation or in this compound. Brian breaking it off with her stung her pride but his guilt over his treatment of her put Brigitte in a much better position.
Who knew how long they would be holed up in this god-forsaken place, but she was going get as much information as she could.
Chapter 25
Brian knocked on Jessie’s door. He didn’t get an answer. He knocked again but harder. Brian’s heart was beating so fast. Jessie slowly opened the door. She’d changed into shorts and t-shirt. Everything he’d ever wanted was standing right in front of him.
He looked deeply into her eyes, “I ended it with Brigitte. I love you, too.”
Jessie couldn’t move. Was she dreaming? She’d been dying to hear those words from him for so long.
Brian leaned into her and captured her mouth in a soul-stirring kiss. After a few moments, her body responded and her arms reached up to hold him. He swept her into his arms and kicked the door closed behind him.
“I think it’s time I make love to you. We’ve waited long enough.”
Brian gently laid her down on the bed and pulled her t-shirt over her head and threw it somewhere in the room. Then he tossed his shirt, too. He couldn’t take her shorts off fast enough but finally managed to push them all the way off her body.
Jessie’s hands were pretty busy, too. Just as he was trying to take her shorts off she was trying to push his pants down. She was only halfway successful so Brian pushed them off the rest of the way. When they made it to his ankles, he kicked them aside. They were completely naked.
He’d only been gone for about an hour but her body was still ready for him, and he was definitely ready for her. Brian could smell their sex in the air. If it were possible to get any harder, looking at her beautiful body did it. She was amazing, and he couldn’t help but touch her. She was firm everywhere she needed to be and soft in all the other special places. Yes, he easily picked up where they left off.
Her pupils were completely dilated from the high of making love to him. Jessie’s body was laid out before him like an offering to the gods. Her legs were parted and he could see what he’d craved so much glistening for him. If Brian didn’t kiss her there he thought he would die. He dropped to his knees next to the bed and threw both of her legs over his shoulders. Seconds later his lips touched her in the place she’d been dying for him to touch. He kissed her there before slowly licking her between her folds. He licked her slowly up one side and then slowly down the other. When he got to her opening Brian went as far as he could go. Her body tightened around his tongue as he pumped and swirled it within her opening. Jessie’s soft cries and writhing was almost Brian’s undoing. He had wanted this for so long that he wasn’t going to rush. He slowly pulled his tongue almost all the way out before thrusting it back into her again. Jessie threw her head back against the pillows. His mouth was making such passionate love to her that she thought it
