Ashley Vs. Boss

I come so violently that even though my eyes are open I can’t see. I cry in pleasure as his cock jerks and gushes a river of cum inside me, his fingers hooked in my thighs like the sting of a scorpion.

I close my eyes, bells ringing in my ears. Am I dead? Is this heaven? His cum drips down my legs like an endless stream, warm and delicious as it slides down my skin. I don’t know if I’m still alive, but this must be heaven.

My whole body, as well as my mind, is numb. I can’t feel a thing, aside from the pleasure that burns in my veins like a drug, of course.

I feel him collapse on the mattress next to me, his breathing hard and ragged. We don’t move for minutes, simply lying there in silence as we reel back from the best sex anyone has ever had in the whole history of mankind. I’m not even kidding.

I roll to the side, my body close to his, and rest my arm over his chest. He looks at me with those serious eyes of his, two windows into the soul of a man I know I will love for the rest of my life.

“I never thought I’d love someone as I love you,” I whisper, my heart now beating more gently inside my chest. I feel like crying; I’m so happy it simply seems unreal. He grabs my hand, squeezing it lightly.

“You’re my everything, Ashley…” In his voice there’s no lightness; each word is charged with the intensity of a truth so powerful it’s almost devastating. “I will take care of you, I will love you, I will make you the happiest woman in the whole Earth. I swear it.”

“Just stay by my side, always…” I whisper, knowing that Apollo is now my whole life. There is no me without him.

“Always, Ashley. Always.”

Epilogue

"Oh my God, babe!" I squeal as Natalie walks into the bar.

It's after work and I'm sitting with my friend Alicia at Sir Harry's at the Waldorf Astoria.

Sure, everything about this bar screams older man taking a younger woman out on the town before he has really bossy sex with her...so that's probably why we're here after work.

"Alicia?" Natalie says as she sees us. "Oh my God, girl how have you been?"

The two hug and then Natalie turns to me and gives me a hug as well.

"I've missed you so much!" she squeaks.

"I mean, because the last time we got together was like so long ago...like last month," Alicia says, rolling her eyes.

Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. Alicia can be kinda a smartass sometimes.

"Are we drinking, ladies?" Natalie asks, playing the part of the older and wiser person even though she's actually six weeks younger than me.

"We already started babe," I tell her as I sit. But I can't just keep it at that. "Tell me all about your new job!"

Right. I should just give you a rundown of where we are a year after the day that Apollo made me squirt...errr, announced he was buying the magazine.

Okay, so let's see. What happened.

Blush began hiring back all the people that got laid off up to Apollo's announcement. That made everyone happy. Apollo also stuck to his word and completely upgraded the equipment we all used as well as gave each department more control over its budget. We expanded our online presence too, and a whole new group of people for that too.

And I'm serious it's like business just boomed. Almost like someone put something in the water, people started to focus even more on their jobs and it started to show.

We began to win awards. Circulation shot through the roof. We began to hire people to keep up with all the things that Blush was doing.

I think six months ago is where we moved to newer offices. Still in Times Square but now in a sleeker building with the rest of the companies that were controlled by Apollo. Although this one, he controlled himself so we

didn't have to put up with all the other corporate bureaucratic nonsense.

Right around when we moved was when Natalie got a really sweet job offer to work for a Public Relations firm on the East Side of Manhattan. Apparently they did a lot of work with the United Nations and since she had studied Comparative Politics in college this was right up her alley.

"The new job is actually good," Natalie says as the waiter brings over the cosmo that she ordered. She takes a drink and continues, "Although I think they're going to be placing me as the liaison for Prince Ian from St. Albans, sooo....not really looking forward to that."
