He grabbed his instrument and I looked down to see him revealing his Glory 1 inch at a time. The head emerged with the rest of the shaft bulging obscenely between his legs. My promotion was in the bag. This was my way of feeding the elation I was already feeling. I pulled my panties to the side and let his knob touch me.

“A woman has all the power. It has always been about what we are going to do with it. Driving on the other side of the road into oncoming traffic is exciting.” I was giving him skin to skin contact in the most delicious way possible.

His insatiable need was evident on his face by the way that he was trying to line up the target. I was fighting him, quite content in rubbing one out between us. It was the teasing gesture clouding his judgment and pushing all reason aside. Insanity was on his quivering lips. The vein was quite profound down the back.

The extreme way it was throbbing told me a story worth more than 1000 words. His pleasure was folded around my own. The long shaft was touching me in direct contact. The explosion in my brain spread throughout my body. I leaned forward and had the semblance of mind to bite into the material of his custom Italian shirt.

I moaned in submission to the orgasm holding its hands around my throat. I moved in a circle in his lap, grinding to the beat of some invisible music in my head. It was like drums going off against my temples. This was nothing like cheap perfume and women selling themselves on the street for money.

It was a dirty act and something to keep things fresh between us. Bryce was looking at me strangely and I knew what was going to happen when I rolled the dice. Dating was an exercise where somebody could win or lose. We weren’t strangers getting to know each other for the first time.

The streetlights outside flickered, but then I realized it was my eyes blinking back into focus. We heard somebody clearing their throat and looked up to find the waitress sheepishly looking around trying not to stare.

“I came over to tell you the main course is going to be a few more minutes. It looks like you found something to do in the meantime. Your privacy is still intact. Nobody seems to know what is going on back here. I get off in an hour and I plan to use my

boyfriend until he has nothing left to give. Thank you for the private viewing.” I didn’t even know we had an audience.

She left us to scurry back into the kitchen with her hands holding onto the tables to support her sexually inebriated state. I got a text message from Mr. Jacobs. He wanted me on a plane within the hour to go to Phoenix to iron out some details with some prospective clients.

“Damn it… It looks like I’m going to have to go out of town for a couple of days. We are going to have to put the celebration on hold. I have enough time to have dinner with you and then I have to get to the Airport.” He took my hand and sucked my fingers without saying a word.

“I know this is part of your job. I will never stand in the way of your career aspirations. We have the same mindset when it comes to succeeding in business. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years. I hope you know life is nothing without you. The love I have for you is eternal. It burns brighter than any star in the Cosmos.” He leaned against my chest and I cradled his head in my hands stroking his hair.

It was tempting to lure him into the bathroom for a quickie. Dinner was longer than expected. It was delicious, but dessert was going to have to wait. I gave him a kiss with a whispered promise of something more. My days of jet-setting across the globe were almost over.

Chapter four

Bryce

“I came in the back way. You wanted this to be a surprise. Sending Charlotte away is going to make her angry when she learns the truth like everybody else.” Mr. Jacobs had his hand on the door with the staff gathered outside waiting for his big announcement.

“Your personal life is your business. I don’t feel very good about this, but you made a compelling case. Bringing your clients with you sealed the deal. How could I refuse millions in untapped revenue per year? Charlotte is just going to have to get over it. I made no contractual obligations.” I knew this was a landmine and I had stepped on top of it waiting for it to send me to hell.

“I’m going to be her boss. Do you really think she’s going to take that lying down? I’ve had my doubts. I almost rescinded your offer several times over the last few days. She won’t forgive me and I’m going to be in the doghouse. There’s no telling how far she will take her vendetta. I’m hoping she can dispense with her animosity long enough to be professional.” I moved my hands over the scant amount of hair I had and put both hands behind my neck in frustration.

“She has never let her personal feelings get in the way of business. I like to keep people guessing. Charlotte was the first candidate in the line of succession. She deserves more than you slipping in at the last second to undermine her promotion. Your proposal and no no-nonsense approach is something that has been vastly lacking in this company for too long.” He flung open the door.

I faced my lover and my accuser all in one tiny little package. Her face turned white and she stared not amused by me standing behind Mr. Jacobs.

“I would like you to meet your new CEO, Bryce Livingston. I want you to make him feel right at home. There will be changes over the next few months. This place is in good hands with Bryce. He has the endorsement of the Board of Directors. We all know how they never agree about anything. Charlotte, I would like you to take him personally underneath your wing to get him up to speed. I know this comes out of left field, but his ideas will revolutionize this company. Get on board or get out of the way.” He grabbed his gray overcoat and left the office after throwing the grenade into the middle of his employees.

Charlotte showed her anger by turning red and looking at me like she wanted to kill me. I went into the office and closed the door, but I knew I was going to have to face her sooner than later.

“Mr. Livingston, there are a few matters you must deal with personally. Charlotte will be in shortly to go over the pertinent details. Welcome aboard. I don’t bring coffee or do shorthand.” Dorothy was matronly and she was going to be responsible for keeping my schedule.

“Send her in when she gets here. I know this is going to be an adjustment for everyone. I would like to make this a painless transition. I do have designs on cutting out the fat. There are two positions which will no longer be filled. Take these pink slips and place them on their respective desks.” I had monetized production by cutting expenses and divvying up their duties to the rest of the staff.

“I see that you have chosen wisely. Wyatt and Chelsea are the last of the old guard. A generous severance with a golden parachute will help to soften the blow. I will have security on hand in case they have ideas about becoming disgruntled employees. I’ve never gotten personal with any of them and this is the reason why.” Dorothy made her exit and I was waiting for the backlash, but nothing happened.

The office was going to be redesigned with my tastes. The leather chair had to go for something more practical. I would keep the desk, but his personal trinkets had to be wiped clean. I was going to start with a blank slate and have my interior director go over my options.

I felt the gust of cold air followed by Charlotte standing at attention like a good soldier. I had to do something to make things right, but I didn’t even know where to begin. A heartfelt apology was a good place to start.

“Charlotte, I know this hurts you and that’s the last thing I wanted to do. I betrayed you and I can’t blame you for hating me. We are going to have to work together. Let’s try to make the best out of a bad situation. I know this is going to sound like a platitude, but I do love you with all of my heart.” Her shoulders sagged, but I could still see the seeping inferno about to explode inside of her.

“I’m going to give you two weeks to fill this role. Don’t expect me to smile. You took what was rightfully mine. How can you do this to someone you claim to love? That’s all I’m going to say on this subject. I have an obligation to help you navigate these choppy waters.” I wanted to hold her, but she was reluctant to show me any kindness.

“This business is a tree with a few rotten apples. I’m getting rid of the dead weight. They do nothing to push this business and rely on their seniority to give them a free hall pass. The rest of the staff will take up the slack. We’re going to have to spend long hours together for the next two weeks.” She had made her bed and leaving was going to leave me scrambling to find a replacement.
