Chapter 20
Epilogue
In the aftermath of the dramatic board meeting, Jason, Vivienne, and their families found themselves at a crossroads marked by pain and the promise of healing. Jason, alongside his sons, took a brave step into family therapy, where emotions that had long been buried began to surface. Jace, with trembling hands and a quiver in his voice, finally voiced his terrifying fear of abandonment. This moment of vulnerability ignited a tearful reconciliation between father and son, transforming years of distance into a shared understanding.
Meanwhile, Jaxon engaged Jason in a heartfelt conversation that showcased his maturity. He unburdened himself of the weight he had been carrying, the feeling of being responsible for Jace's well-being. As he shared his struggles, Jason’s heart softened, realizing how important it was for him to open up emotionally. This exchange not only fostered a deeper bond between them but also reassured Jaxon that he wasn't alone in navigating these turbulent waters.
On the other side of Boston, Vivienne and her boys began their journey of finding a way to process the loss of Robert. The road ahead was fraught with challenges, yet each session of counseling allowed Vivienne to confront her guilt and gradually reshape her personal goals. She knew that moving forward required not just closure but the courage to redefine her path.
In a bid to create a supportive atmosphere, Jason took significant steps at Blackwood Architects, where he introduced policies aimed at balancing work with personal life. This initiative not only reflected his commitment to his family but also demonstrated his desire for a healthy work culture.
One afternoon, a few months later, both families gathered at Jason's home for a meal. Initially, the atmosphere was heavy with awkwardness, but as the evening unfolded, laughter began to weave its way through the tension. Understanding and shared experiences gradually transformed them into something resembling a new family unit, a mosaic of collaborative healing.
As the evening waned, Jason and Vivienne slipped away to the balcony, drawn together by the intimacy of the moment. Underneath the vast, star-speckled sky, their conversation turned into something deeper. They embraced the gravity of what lay ahead while allowing a spark of hope to ignite between them.
As Vivienne stood at the balcony railing staring down at the city below her, Jason steps up behind her and pulls her back to his chest.
“Viv, sweetheart, I need you right now. Can you be quiet for me?”
Jason didn’t wait for her to answer as he slowly lifted her dress up to her waist and slid his hand down between Vivienne’s thighs. He slipped a finger into her wet pussy, “Fuck, Viv. You’re already soaking wet for me. Tell me you want this.” He demanded as he unbuttoned his jeans and freed his rock hard cock.
Vivienne rocked her hips back slightly. Grinding her ass against his cock. “Oh fuck, Jason. I need you.”
Slipping his finger out from her pussy, he gripped his cock in his hand and guided it to Vivienne’s wet slit. He slammed into her with one push from how wet she was and gripped her hip with one hand, as his other hand slid up to pinch her nipple through her dress. He needed more skin to skin contact, so he reached up and pulled down her top and quickly took her tits out of her bra. Vivienne started moaning as Jason started twirling his finger around her tightened nipple.
He needed to silence her moans, so he slipped his cock out of Vivienne’s greedy pussy and spun her around. Gripping her by her ass, he picked her up and as Vivienne wrapped her legs around Jason’s waist. He leaned down to capture her mouth in a searing kiss and aligned his cock back to Vivienne’s pussy. Jason matched his thrusts of his tongue in Vivienne’s mouth to the thrusting of his cock.
He could feel Vivienne’s pussy fluttering around his cock. Jason needed more leverage so he turned around and backed Vivienne up against the wall and started to pound into her pussy even harder. Thrusting his hips higher and higher as Vivienne’s tits bounced between their chests.
Vivienne’s breathing turned frantic as she broke from their tongue fucking. She was getting close and her words were incoherent.
“That’s right sweetheart. Come on my cock.” He wrapped one hand around her neck as his other supported her ass. Jason thrusted in and out. Both covered in sweat. As Vivienne started to orgasm, he covered her mouth with his hand and lowered his forehead to hers. His thrusts turned frantic. He couldn’t hold off his release any longer. “Fuck. Fuck. Fuck, Viv. Milk my fucking cock. Take it all.”
They stayed just like that until their breathing returned to normal and Jason slowly lowered Vivienne to her feet.
“That was the perfect ending to a great evening with all of our boys. Thank you, Viv.”
Vivienne smiled up at Jason as she rose on her tiptoes to him a chaste kiss. “Let’s go get cleaned up, love.” She turned to leave and gave Jason a little wink.

One Year Later
A year had drifted by since the stormy upheaval at Blackwood Architects and the heart-wrenching loss of Vivienne’s husband. Now, Jason and Vivienne were navigating their newfound relationship with the excitement of fresh beginnings, hand in hand and heart open. They decided a weekend trip to Jason's beach house was just what they needed—a sanctuary he hadn't been to since his wife's passing, laden with memories but ripe for new ones.
As they strolled along the sunlit shore, the rhythmic sound of waves provided a soothing backdrop as they shared stories of their late spouses. Vivienne and Jason listened to each other with genuine empathy, their heart acknowledging the complexity of love. It was a delicate dance, this blending of past and present, where joy and sorrow intertwined like the tide against the sand.
Back in the city, the real challenge awaited: blending their families. A lively day out with their quartet of teenage boys—Jason's sons, Jaxon and Jace, alongside Vivienne's, Anthony and Alex—unfolded into a hilarious escapade. Mini-golf proved to be an unexpected source of comedy, with missed putts that could have qualified for slapstick and ice cream spills that turned into impromptu food fights. The ease of laughter hurled through the air, breaking ice and building bridges between the teens, transforming strangers into allies.
At work, Jason had convinced Vivienne to come back to Blackwood Architects as his assistant. They maintained their professional facade with a dash of playfulness, knowing their relationship was now well-known but comfortably out of the gossip spotlight. The eco-skyscraper project that had first ignited their connection stood on the brink of completion, symbolizing not just their professional collaboration but the blossoming of their intertwined lives.
As the day ended, they hosted a dinner party filled with close friends and family. Jason and Vivienne surveyed the warm gathering around their table—a delightful mix of laughter, stories, and tangled histories brought together by love, regret, and the resilience of the human heart. In that moment, they exchanged a secret smile, a silent acknowledgment of their journey. They both felt grateful for the complicated path that had led them to this table, surrounded by the people who mattered, basking in the sweetness of togetherness, and the thrill of love blooming anew.
