Chapter 118

Today was the big day. After what had felt like years in the making I was finally able to showcase my creativity on the big screen. It was long-awaited and I had poured my blood sweat and tears into this.

And now as I sat here in the car with my husband by my side and my hand clutching his tightly, I still could not believe that it was actually happening. I was a big-screen movie director. For years I had just stayed in the lane of indie films and it had been comfortable for some time. But this had been on my vision board ever since I was a little girl.

My husband let out a soft chuckle. “You will not need to shave your head or move to Virginia. You poured everything you had into this movie and I’m sure that it is going to translate onto the big screen. You are a talented woman and a force to be reckoned with. This is only the beginning of your future. And tonight, everyone will see exactly what I saw all those years ago. You are amazing, phenomenal, extraordinary, out of this world-

“Okay, okay, I get it.” 1 slapped my hand over his mouth. “I’m great. You can stop showering me with compliments now.”

He mumbled behind my hand and then he licked the inside of it. I drew my hand back with a small shriek of disgust.

“Ew,” I said, rubbing my wet hand on his pants.

“Ew? I don’t recall you crying when I had my mouth in your pussy until you cummed “Damon!” looked to our driver who had his eyes set on the road, ignoring us. I knew that it was his job to act like he wasn’t there but I know for a fact he had just heard my husband talk about how he was eating me out only an hour or so ago.
