Gambling For The Virgin:A Dark Billionaire Romance(150)



On the other hand, I can't betray Ethan.

Not after everything we've done.

Not after I've fallen in love with him.



Three.

That's how many months have passed since I've first infiltrated Illicit  Entertainment. It's been three months of filming simulated sex for the  virtual reality marvel that is the Illicit Escape. Three months where  I've become the face of the new product. Three months where I've fallen  in love with Ethan.

I know what you're thinking, babe, and you don't need to worry.

I'm not having real sex on set. Ethan isn't having to watch me fuck another guy.

Anytime a real cock is needed, guess who's filling in?

That's right. Mr. Kane himself.

But even those times are really for still shots, or when the viewer  maybe wants to look down and see me blowing them, you know? Like we  don't use a real cock for much because for the first time, the viewer is  moving from viewing to participating.

It takes POV porn and goes one step closer.

But that means in filming, I only ever really film anything by myself.

It's harder than I expected. If you don't believe me, try pretending to  have sex without anyone having sex. Like try scrunching your face in an  orgasm when there's no cock inside of you and without using your  fingers.

But we only ever film maybe one day a week. The rest of the days are photos, touching up some shots, and other housekeeping.

Filming porn for virtual reality, where the user expects to have the  sensation and experience of having sex with me is actually a very lonely  endeavor. I'm actually spending a large amount of time in front of a  green screen holding ridiculous poses.

The other day, I spent five minutes holding my hand in front of my mouth  as if I was grasping a cock and guiding it inside. The day before that,  I must have lay there for ten minutes with my legs spread out as they  used my image and then moved it around in their computer systems to get  it ideally pixelated for the I.E. experience.

It's safe to say that being so close to sex, but not having real sex is enough to make me want to jump Ethan when we get home.

Afterwards, I go take a bath while Ethan fixes dinner.

Then we cuddle on the sofa and watch TV.

Well, let me actually correct that. Ethan watches TV and I lie in his  arms, feeling them surround me and keep me safe. I like the sex, but  smelling his cologne and feeling him wrapped around me is probably the  most satisfying feeling I've had in years. I usually fall asleep there  and he carries me to bed.

Every night.



One.

That's how many weeks I've known that I'm pregnant.

I know, right!

I'm pregnant!

I mean, yes, I'm happy. It's okay. Don't worry, this is so a good thing.

Oh, yeah, I first found out when I missed my period. I've never been  late in my entire life. It has always been on the dot. And somehow, I  just knew. Something was up.

One home pregnancy kit later, I knew that my body's sixth sense was spot on.

And no, Ethan doesn't know. I'm sorry, hun, but I need you to keep one  more secret from him for me. You can't tell him this until I tell him.

And I haven't told him just yet because I'm still not sure what to do about Simon.

I mean, I would love to go and tell Ethan and have him pick me up in  happiness. I'd love to start buying baby things with Ethan. I'd love to  start teasing him about naming our little boy Wilfred and our little  girl Juliana and watching him cringe at those names.

But I can't.

I either have to wait until Ethan releases his prototype, or until I can get Simon off my back.

But I don't know how to get out of this situation and so I've been keeping quiet.

I can't lose Ethan. But I have a baby to think about now too.



Twenty-Four.

That's how many hours Simon called me and told me I have to get him an I.E. Prototype just now.

I'm serious. He called just now.         

     



 

It's Monday morning and Ethan is already at work.

I don't have to go in till later on today to meet with the graphic  designers and so I was able to see when Simon called my phone.

When I picked up, he was curt.

"Babes, I gave you long enough to get me what I fucking want. The  product goes live in two weeks and I'm done waiting," was his way of  saying hello. "You have 24 hours to get me my fucking shit that actually  works this time before Robert gets a nice little FedEx with all your  fucking information, right down to your address and daily fucking  schedule."

I froze as I heard him and tried to comprehend what he was saying.

"I know exactly how many nights you spend at One57 and if I wanted to,  I'd know exactly what fucking color underwear you were wearing, so  please believe me that I am deadly serious," he said over the phone. "24  hours. No more."

I stand there for a long time feeling ill.

Wondering not just about myself. But about Ethan. And to top it all off now, about the baby inside of me.

Ethan





"The initial marketing efforts will be through broad-based Internet  advertising as well as direct television advertising," Cheryl is  speaking on the line and her voice is coming through on speakerphone.

It's the afternoon and I'm sitting with my feet up on my desk listening  to the people on the call. There's probably about forty people all told  who dialed in to the final two weeks before go-live. We got people from  all different areas of the fucking company: Operations, Finance,  Marketing, Legal, and R&D are on this call.

And tying it all together and holding us in check is none other than  Cheryl -Personal Assistant to the fucking stars. My fucking personal  assistant.

"What channels on the television spectrum are we targeting?" someone from Marketing asks Cheryl over the conference line.

There's a pause. I know Cheryl is prepared for this question. It's not like someone tripped her up or anything.

"We're targeting prime time spots on all broadcast networks as well as  contemporary movie channels that target the 18-44 demographic," Cheryl  says, reading off her list. I nod to myself. That sounds like a pretty  good lineup.

What?

Oh come on, don't look so fucking shocked. I'm sure prime time  television has no fucking problem running ads for a virtual reality porn  player. I mean, have you looked at what they put on television  recently? Fuck, this shit is exactly what the audiences are waiting for.

"We also have cross-promo licensing deals with all major fast food  chains across the country as well as-" Cheryl would say more but all of a  sudden my head jerks toward the door as it flings open.

I immediately put the call on mute. Then I put it on hold. Whatever is  about to fucking go down does not need to be interrupting this important  fucking call that's going to make me billions of dollars.

Jesus. I don't know why I'm so fucking jumpy all of a sudden.

I realize how silly I'm being when Brittney walks in.

Instead of armed thugs being led by Simon Conners, it's the most  beautiful girl in the fucking world walking in wearing a tight dark blue  wraparound dress.

I know what you're wondering right now, and fuck you for wondering, but  yes, my cock does twitch a little bit seeing the fabric of Brittney's  dress cling to her fucking perky and full breasts and the rest of her  slender body.

"Brittney?" I ask her. I mean, despite wanting to fuck her, I'm a bit  surprised. She's never surprised me at work like this before. "What's  going on, babe?" I ask.

She takes several steps toward me, her face determined.

"I need to withdraw from the project and end my association with Illicit  Entertainment," she says, as if she's rehearsed this on the way over.  "I need off the team."

If she had stood there and told me she was growing a third fucking tit I  wouldn't have been more shocked than I am at that moment.

I stand up, more because this moment is too important to be fucking sitting down.

"What do you mean?" I manage to ask her, not even sure I heard her right.

She shakes her head, and it looks like she might burst into tears at any point.

"You heard me, Ethan," she says to me. "I need off the IE team. I'm sorry, but I can't be involved any more."

I walk around the desk. This isn't a fucking employee problem anymore. This isn't a Human Resources case at this point.

No.

This is something wrong with my girlfriend.

There, I don't care if she has trouble realizing that. Or doesn't want to admit it or whatever.

I fucking love this woman, and right now there is something that's bothering her.

"Babe, what the fuck is wrong?" I ask her and she's about to answer when  I realize she's probably just going to say the same thing she has  already. I stop her. "Wait," I say and take a step toward her.

She looks up at me and there's the briefest flash of hope in her eyes.  As if there's some way that maybe I can sort this out for her.

"I don't want to hear what the problem is if you can't tell me, but know  this babe," I tell her and wrap my arms around her, bringing her close.  "I will be with you no matter what the problem is. Hell, if you fucking  killed someone I'll be there with you to bury the fucking body."

Brittney trembles and I pull back from her so I can look her in the eyes.

"Fuck the world, babe," I tell her, my eyes piercing into her. "It's you and me fucking forever," I say with finality.
