CW: Unprotected sex, mistaken identity, impregnation
--
"Alright," I told my husband as we walked towards my office. In the distance, my coworkers at Anderson Software were walking in wearing a variety of costumes, ranging from the basic to the elaborate and feathered. My husband's costume was simple - a suit and a domino mask. "You know the plan?"
"Of course," he said, squeezing my hand. "I tail you, and you lead me to your VP."
"She'll be wearing a slutty dress," I said. "Probably something that highlights her tits. Which are pretty cute."
"So I'll talk to her," he said. "And talk her into showing me her office."
My heart raced. In a minute I'd be pretending I didn't know him, but that was plenty of time. "She has a comfy couch in her office," I said.
He turned to face me, just before we stepped past a tall hedge that concealed us from the other partygoers. "I've heard that," he said, brushing a ringlet of hair away from my face. "I bet I can get her to try it with me."
"Yes," I panted. "Oh, honey, yes."
"I'll fuck her there," he said. "And I'll do my best to knock her up."
I moaned, pulling myself close to him. "Your best is so good."
He leaned in and kissed me, gently but full of compressed passion. "My best is all for you," he said. "Are you going to watch, or should I tell you about it later?"
I gave him the sort of smile that explained why I'd been out on maternity leave three times in five years. "Hopefully? Both."
He grinned back, for once a bit rueful. "The only downside is I have to wait to dance with you."
"That's okay," I said. I stepped past the hedge toward the front door. "I know you'll save the last dance for me."
"Always," he whispered. I gave him one last smile, then turned to go join the party.

It didn't take me long to find the VP I was looking for. Ashley Hitchings stood in the middle of the west atrium, a cluster of board members and socially ambitious developers around her. For those who saw the office as a constantly shifting network of favors and insults, a web of intrigue and betrayal, she was the nexus of their experience. For those of us who saw it as a place to work, though, she was a pain in the ass.
Still, I had to admit that she was achingly hot. She was about five foot nine, with well-defined abs from her regular gym visits and a shapely ass which I presumed her momma gave her. She had indeed chosen a dress that showed off a fair bit of cleavage - it was just a half-inch more risque than anyone else's, which had probably required some complex calculations. Her tits were smaller than mine, but they fit her muscular frame perfectly.
I stayed back, keeping out of her sphere of conversation. She was already idly flirting with another VP and one of our older board members, with a flute of champagne in one hand and an empty one sitting on a table nearby. I grinned; I knew Edward was capable of seducing sober women, but Ashley being drunk would make it easier.
The hardest part was not looking at Edward. I could see him out of the corner of my eye, listening to Ashley's conversation and choosing the best time to jump in. I wanted to wiggle my eyebrows suggestively at him and make him laugh. I wanted to show him I loved him, because I always want to. But letting him pull this off would make it all the sweeter when I was with him again later tonight.
He waited until she finished her glass and started a third before he approached. I'd given him a cover identity - I'd researched our board of directors, figured out that one of them had a son whom Ashley had never met, and found out everything I could about him. I wanted him to have everything he needed.
From where I was wallflowering, I couldn't hear much of their conversation, but her interest rose when Edward introduced himself, and their body language started to flow. She smiled deeper, and leaned closer in a way that highlighted her tits; he brushed her hand before moving back and giving her space.
The downside to most relationships is that you always see your partner's flirting from the same place. I was lucky to see it from the outside, too. I watched his smiles, and the way he looked at her, and the way he drew her attention until she barely noticed the server coming past with her fourth glass of champagne. I smiled with them - she didn't know it was all for me.
He waited. It would have been easy to rush her, but he wanted her to make the move. He told her a story, and I saw the curiosity play across her freckled face before she burst out laughing. I wondered how much of her reactions were real - was she doing this because of how charming he was, or just because she thought he was a rich boy?
"Champagne?" a server asked.
I looked up. I realized that, just like Ashley, I'd let myself get distracted. "Sure," I said. "Thank you."
I grabbed the glass and took a sip. When I glanced back across the atrium, Ashley was leading Edward away, back into the building. I counted to thirty before I downed the drink and followed.
The party was meant to keep to the first floor, so the badge readers wouldn't let anyone up the stairs. There were a few exceptions, though. Ashley's VP badge let her ignore the restriction, and I had our CEO's old badge after replacing it. The party chatter faded into the background as I found a quiet maintenance stairwell and made my way up.
The lights in the open areas were dim, but I could see a light in Ashley's corner office, and she'd left her door open. I kept my head down and scooted under a desk that gave me a good view of her office. Edward and Ashley stood by the window, peering out into the evening.
"It's a beautiful view of the lake," he said.
"In the fall, you can see the trees around the lake changing colors one at a time," she said. "It's beautiful. I love to go running there."
I wondered for a moment how she could appreciate that beauty while still being such a bitch to her coworkers. Three weeks ago, she'd told my boss that my maternity leave was excessive and distracting me from real work. I figured that, once she had her own maternity leave, she'd have a better perspective on it.
"That sounds lovely," he said. He looked back at her, his gaze glancing across her tits before landing on her face. I realized that he didn't know where I was either, but he knew I was in the darkness somewhere; he was absolutely playing to his audience.
I had seen him playing this game before, but Ashley's expressions were new. The commanding gaze was gone, or at least submerged beneath her buzz and held down by her lust. She looked at him like he was already hers, or she was already his. She didn't know that only one was true.
"What about you?" she asked, sitting on her desk and setting her hand on his arm. "Do you think you'll get involved in running things here? We could use a leader like you. Half of ours are useless."
I knew that some of the other VPs would be fascinated to hear this, but I didn't care a bit for them. I held my breath, waiting to see when and how he was going to move.
"I plan to," he said, curling towards her hand. "And I'm glad to hear that you'll take my side. Good partners are hard to come by."
"Usually," she said with a cheeky grin. "But sometimes they fall into your lap."
He grinned and stepped closer to the desk, brushing against her thigh as he leaned closer.
"I'm not in your lap," he said.
"Hurry up, then," she replied.
He smiled and drew in close to kiss her. She spread her legs to let him draw close, and he wrapped his hands around her shoulders. Neither of them was in a hurry, and the moment drew out as they danced around each other's lips, learning the rules of the game as they went.
I stifled a moan. Edward has always been a good kisser, able to read my desires from the motion of my lips and eager to let them play out. I hadn't thought much about what Ashley's desires might be, and it looked like she wasn't sure either. She ran her fingers through his hair as if she meant to guide him, but she leaned back as if she hoped he'd press her down onto her desk. I had expected her to be a dom, but there was more sub in her than I'd guessed.
I knew where I stood on that particular scale, at least in that moment. I had told Edward to do this, but now that it was happening I was helpless before him. It was all I could do to hike my dress up and start rubbing myself.
"Fuck," Ashley gasped, catching her breath as Edward moved down her neck. I could hear the lust bubbling up in her voice, and I wondered how long it had been since she'd gotten fucked. I'd feel bad if that was the only reason she was such a bitch at work.
Edward kissed a path down, plunging into her neckline until his kisses swirled across the tops of her breasts. She clutched him, half in control and half holding on. He waited until he'd drawn out a long, warbling moan, then rose to face her.
