It felt like a ton of bricks had just fallen on his stomach knocking the breath out of him. Eve was Julian’s wife. It should’ve been obvious to him when he learned that her last was Crane, but it wasn’t. When Carlo looked back at Eve, his heart monitor suddenly became erratic.

“Carlo is something wrong?” Eve said as she turned and noticed how is heart monitor was looking.

“I’m fine Dr. Crane.” Carlo said in a trembling voice.

Eve placed her stethoscope on his chest and listened as his heart beat faster than normal. She then turned back to Julian and Marco.

“Dr. Crane…” Marco said then waited for Eve to speak.

“I think it’s time for everyone to leave so that Carlo can get some more rest.”

“Eve what happened?” Julian asked.

“His heart monitor suddenly became unstable and I don’t know why. And his breathing is shallow. He needs to lay back down and get some more rest.”

Marco nodded as he walked out of the room with Julian and left Eve inside with Carlo.

“Marco, I think should leave. You need to be here with your brother.”

“Alright.”

“Why don’t we reschedule our appointment and wait until Carlo is healthy enough?”

“Are you sure it won’t be problem for you to reschedule our appointment? I mean, you’re a very busy man Julian.”

“Not at all. Besides, this project is the biggest project I’ve ever worked on. And I’m very proud to have the chance to work with the Luciano brothers of Italy.” Julian smiled and extended his hand to Marco.

“Thank you.” Marco shook Julian’s hand then watched as he turned around and walked down the hallway.

Ten minutes later, Eve came out of Carlo’s room and informed Marco that everything was fine and that Carlo was sound asleep. She also told him that he could go back in and stay with him. Marco thanked Eve then went back inside of the room.

Once Eve was finish with Carlo Luciano, she decided to start on her rounds. About an hour later, Eve walked back to her office then flopped down on the couch next to her door and closed her eyes. If she hadn’t just came into her office and lied down on her couch, she would’ve noticed Julian sitting behind her desk in nothing but his birthday suit.

Julian watched as Eve came into her office and didn’t even bother to look straight ahead before lying down on her couch. He sighed then suddenly smirked as a lustful idea came to mind. He slowly got up out of her chair then tipped toed over to her door and locked it. He then walked over to her and licked his lips before leaning over and claiming her lips.

Eve felt pressure on her lips, and then opened her eyes to find Julian hovering over her. He startled her a bit making her gasp, and that was all he needed as he took advantage of her startled state and slipped his tongue inside of her mouth. A few moments later, he pulled back and looked her in the eyes.

“Julian what are you doing in my office?” Eve asked breathlessly.

“Well I didn’t want to go back to the office just yet. I wanted to have a little quality time here with my wife.” Julian said.

“We had some quality time last night on the beach and in the shower…”

“That’s true, but I wanted some more quality with my wife in her office…on her desk.” Julian said in a husky voice before placing his hand on her breast.

Eve moaned as Julian continued to rub her breast through her shirt as he used his other hand to slowly unbutton it. Once her shirt was undid, he leaned back and pulled Eve with him as he pushed her shirt and doctor’s coat off of her shoulders while looking her straight in the eyes. Eve caressed his jaw softly and watched as Julian lowered his mouth to her shoulder then to her neck before coming up and kissing her on the mouth.

Somehow during their kissing and touching, Julian managed to get Eve out of the rest of her clothes as they now stood over by her desk. All of her files and reports were scatter over the floor as Eve was now sitting on top of her desk with Julian standing between her legs. Then in one swift motion, he entered her and they both moaned out in pleasure.

Eve was now lying down on her desk with her hands behind her head gripping it tightly while her legs were wrapped around his waist as Julian slid in and out of her. Julian had his eyes closed and his head leaned back as his hands were on her hips while he continued to thrust inside of her. He then climbed up on the desk, still joined together with Eve and he placed his mouth over one of her hardened nipples, earning another moan from Eve. He placed his hands on top of hers to hold her in place as he swirled his tongue around her nipple once more before moving on to the other. Eve was gripping his hands as tight as she could, as Julian started to thrust deeper and faster inside of her while he worked his way up to her neck. Once there, Julian placed soft kisses up and down her neck before nipping at her pulse, earning a groan from himself as well as from Eve before spilling his seed inside her womb.

A month passed after that day Eve and Julian mad love in her office, on her desk. Carlo Luciano was released from the hospital a week later and his brother Marco rescheduled their appointment with Julian. Things went well from there, as all three gentlemen became good friends. Julian and Eve even went out to dinner with the Luciano brothers a lot too.

Even though Carlo got to see Eve a lot, it wasn’t enough. No matter what he did, he still couldn’t get Eve out of his mind. He had many erotic dreams about the two of them, dreamt that he would marry her one day and have children with her. Sure Julian was a good friend of his and his brother’s but he had what he wanted. He believed that Eve was his soul mate and he would stop at nothing until he got what he wanted…and he wanted her. So he came up with a plan to make sure that Julian would be out of the picture and once he was gone, he could have Eve all to himself.

Today was one of those days in which Julian and Eve got together with the Luciano brothers. Julian had called Ivy and Daniel a few days earlier and invited them as well. Eve was outside in the backyard playing with William while Julian was drinking a beer and talking to Marco and Daniel as he grilled burgers and Carlo and Ivy were in the pool swimming around a bit.

The whole time he was in the pool, Carlo kept glancing over at Eve and her son. The way she laughed when William did something funny was like music to his ears. ‘Ah yes, she would make a perfect mother for our future children.’ He thought as a lecherous smirk appeared on his face. Ivy who was in front of him, smiled back at him because she thought he was thinking about her.

“So Julian, why didn’t you tell me that Ivy was such a babe?” Marco said then took a sip of his beer.

“Because you never asked me.”

“Tell me something Danny boy, are you and Ivy you know, together?”

Daniel looked absolutely horrified!

“No, I’m um…um…a happily…married man thank you.” He stuttered out as he took quick sip of his beer.

Marco chuckled a bit.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude in your personal business.”

“That’s alright. Besides, Ivy’s my best friend and she’s very, very single.” Daniel smirked.

“Thanks for the heads up.”

Julian excused himself, and went over to where Eve and William were playing. Ivy then turned and a smile instantly appeared on her face.

“How long have you’ve known Julian and Eve?” Carlo asked Ivy as he stood next to her by the edge of the pool.

“I’ve known them for two years now. Julian and I even dated once.”

“Really?” Carlo asked curiously.

“Yeah, but it never went any further. You see, he’s always been in love with Eve, since they were kids. And it took them ten years to finally be together.” Ivy said as she watched Julian kiss Eve on the lips.

“I see.”

Julian went down on one knee as William walked over to him.

“Up, up..” William said as he reached for his daddy to pick him up.

Once he was in front of his dad, Julian scooped him up in his arms.

“How’s my little man doing?”

William looked at his father before pointing to the pool. Julian looked to where William pointed, then raised a brow.

“You want to go swimming?” he asked.

Eve then walked up to her husband and son.

“How about we let mommy take you swimming?” Julian said then smiled at her.

William suddenly reached out to Eve and she happily placed her arms around him.

“Well honey, it’s just you and me. Let’s go have fun in the water.” Eve tickled his sides as he started laughing out loud.

Eve walked over to the side of the pool and placed William down next to her before taking off the shirt she was wearing, revealing a two-piece bikini she had on underneath.

Carlo’s mouth instantly went dry as he watched Eve carefully take off her shirt. The way she looked in that bikini made him almost groan out loud, but he couldn’t. As she slowly got into the pool, he trailed his eyes down her long beautiful caramel legs, up to her smooth flat stomach, then back up to her breast before settling his eyes on her gorgeous face. He was burning up, he had to touch her but he knew he couldn’t. He had to get out of here before he made a fool of himself!

Once Eve was in the pool, she reached up and brought William close to her body. She was just going to hold him and let him play in the water for a few minutes before taking him into the house and putting him to sleep. She looked over her shoulder and noticed that Ivy wasn’t in the pool anymore but over talking to Marco in the corner by the grill, so that only left her, William and Carlo in the pool. She then turned and found Carlo huddled in the corner of the pool looking flushed. She wondered what was wrong with him.

“Carlo…” she called out to him.

Carlo had been in the corner of the pool with his head down trying to steady his breathing and hide his arousal when Eve called out his name. He suddenly looked up and noticed that she was looking at him curiously.

“Eve, oh I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there. I was just taking a deep breath before I got out of the pool. Nature calls.” He said in a trembling voice as he forced himself to flash Eve a fake smile.

“Are you sure?” She asked. She didn’t believe the answer he gave either.

“Yes I’m sure.” He said before climbing slowly out of the pool, picking up his towel to the right of him then headed inside of the house straight to the bathroom to relieve himself.
