Button carries herself so well today. The smile on her face looks real, her words are well chosen, her new dress hugs the curves of her sexy frame perfectly, emphasizing all the right spots - and driving me crazy. I can't help but be impressed with her, especially considering how terribly bored I am with this whole campaigning thing.

When I decided to run for Congress, I primarily did it to prove something to myself. I've conquered the business world, and after seeing so many useless idiots running for office, being elected, and then making decisions that benefit no one but themselves, I decided that I had had it. I'm not an idealistic person, mind you. It's power that I'm after, the knowledge that my word carries more weight than those of others. But I also like the idea of having a real influence. I need purpose and a platform to let people know I'm here and ready to leave my mark where it matters.

It's a simple enough thing to run for Congress when you're in my position. I have strong ties in the business world and the wealth needed to support my campaign without months of fundraising. My team is still organizing fundraisers, though, because my campaign needs them to generate grassroots and hands-on support, but I'm less dependent on raising money than any of the other candidates.

But all the money in the world can't buy supporters if a candidate doesn’t have clear positions and schmoozes with the right people. This is especially true for me. I may have the financial advantage, but I lack what my campaign manager calls "character credentials”. The damage done to me years ago still overshadows everything I do. Button knows nothing about it, even though she's closer to uncovering the truth than anybody else. She's never heard the rumors, and while I know she would dismiss them more willingly than anybody else, I still don't want her to know this part of my past.

I don't want her to know about the betrayal inflicted on me by the last person I thought possible of doing such a thing. Elsa Miller. Even recalling her name makes my heart race with furious rage. But it's also a good reminder for me to never let it happen again.

My eyes rest on Button standing next to me, watching as she chats away with another moneybag standing with us. She's dangerous. Too perfect, too damn good at playing her part in every aspect. I can already feel my heart softening for her. It has been slowly happening from the very beginning, but it's only gotten worse since I first fucked her and then she passed out, still throbbing around my cock. She's everything I ever wanted for this endeavor, and so much more. I've been watching myself gradually fall for her, passively allowing it to happen, without ever wanting it.

And the worst thing is: she doesn't feel the same way. Because she is fucking everything I wanted for this job.
