The new us

Chris wasn’t kidding. The information about Aren and me was all over the news. Initially, I was terrified. I could almost imagine the headlines accusing Aren and me of all sorts of evil deeds against the “poor” executives who had just got fired. When Aren turned on the TV, I was already on the verge of a panic attack, but the news was nothing like I expected…

It turned out that the press fell in love with our story, naming Aren and me the golden couple. The moment when Aren scooped me up from the podium and spun me around while holding me in his arms had been registered and shown from every possible angle. The miraculous awakening of a husband who rushed straight from the hospital to save his wife from evil men trying to slander her had quickly become viral. I watched another news report from Lan Diamond Tower, blushing as I realized that something that had felt like our intimate moment now belonged to thousands of people.

Surprisingly, the fact that the company had just gotten rid of half of the board had been completely overshadowed by the story of the heroic CEO and his wife. I kept bursting into nervous laughter as I discovered another article about Aren and me. I had little knowledge about what could happen next, but Aren knew… “We’d better prepare. It’s going to be hectic from tomorrow,” he said as we headed upstairs to the bedrooms.

“What do you mean?” I asked, climbing the stairs one step behind him.

“Do you think that the reporters are going to be satisfied with only the footage and a few pictures of us from the morning?” He gave me a crooked smile as he stooped on top of the stairs.

“What else would they want?” I looked at him with question marks painted all over my face.

“Interviews, the insights into our amazing love story. We need to have prepared answers to every single question they might ask,” he replied, a serious expression on his face telling me that he was already writing possible scenarios in his head.

It sounded like a pleasant and innocent solution. I was confident about my decision. Unfortunately, my confidence lasted only until I walked into Aren’s bedroom and found him wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips. He had his hair damp and combed up, emphasizing every angle of his perfectly symmetrical face. The sight of his chiseled, rigid muscles was absolutely mouthwatering. I bit my lip just to restrain myself from making any weird noise that would betray my hunger for him. Nonetheless, I was too busy containing my own lust to realize that
