“This is the board room. What if someone found out?”
I shake my head, running my hand up and underneath Madison’s top, underneath her bra and rubbing one stiff nipple, making her gasp. “No one is going to find out.”
“Still . . .” She groans, objecting even as she arches her back to press her tit into my grasp more.
“Yeah . . . makes me want to do it even more. Fuck you right here on this table, and then every boring meeting I have to sit through, I’ll be fantasizing about tonight. Thinking of how good you looked spread out for me, taking my cock right here on the boardroom table.”
Before Madison can reply, my lips find her neck again, sucking and tasting her warm skin, and she presses against me, her need just as intense as mine. I pull her top off, then her bra before laying her back on the polished wood of the table. I kiss down lower, finding the soft cushion of her breast capped with a hard nipple that fits perfectly between my lips and teeth as I suck. “Fuck, yes, Scott . . . just like that.”
I’m careful at first, walking that line of giving her enough to tantalize, but not so much that she shatters too soon. She’s sensitive, and her every response tells me just how much she wants this.
It seems like I’ve wanted her forever. Since that first night, she’s been in my mind, in my dreams, and in my fantasies. Time is oddly disproportionate to my need.
I kiss down Madison’s body to the waistband of her shorts and pause, looking at the silkiness of her stomach and wanting to ravage her, to pound her mercilessly and unleash all my desire . . . but holding back, savoring the moment. I lay a line of sweet kisses along her belly, giving myself a moment to calm, my breath shuddering as I try to wrangle my fraying control.
“Scott.”
I look up and see the desire flaring in her eyes as she lifts her hips. “You’re vibrating. I can feel you holding back. Don’t. Give me all of you. I can handle it. Please.”
My intake of air hisses between us, the permission to not be a gentleman releasing a pressure in my mind I didn’t know I had. I stand up, nearly tearing her shorts and panties down her legs and tossing them to the floor.
I collapse into the chair, my dad’s chair, at the head of the table. There’s something about taking that throne of power while I take control of Madison that’s doing strange things to my mind.
Her bare pussy glistens with moisture right in front of me, and I lick my lips before kissing her inner thigh and dragging my tongue to the bottom of her pussy. In one long lick, I taste her honey from bottom to the hooded button of her clit, nibbling on it before licking lower.
“I need you on my mouth,” I growl as I bury my tongue deep inside her walls, feasting on her juices and sucking hard on her sweet folds. Madison arches her back, her heeled sandals pressing kinkily into my back as I take the only dessert I’ve been interested in all night. I slide my hands under her hips, holding her immobile as I flutter my tongue until she’s gasping, her breath coming in tortured hitches.
“Fuck, Scott . . . oh, fuck, I’m gonna—”
“Come,” I tell her, flicking the tip of my tongue over her clit. Madison cries out, and her back arches even more as she starts coming, her thighs clamping around my ears as I suck hard on her button. Even as she’s still pulsing, I stand up, unbuttoning my jeans and shoving them down my thighs along with my boxer briefs. I’m lining up with her sweet pussy when she stops me.
“Wait,” Madison gasps, her hand pressing against my chest. “I want to see before you fuck me.”
I take my shaft in my hand and squeeze as Madison lifts up to her elbows to look at my cock. “Is this what you want?” A drop of precum leaks from my tip and she moans.
“Can I taste?” she asks, her mouth open as if she’s waiting for me to fuck her face.
I jack myself again, more gathering at the tip. “If you suck me, I won’t be able to stop, and I want inside your pussy. It’s all I’ve been dreaming of.” I swipe my thumb across my head, coating it with my precum and then offering it to her. Madison’s pink tongue swirls around my pad, getting every drop and sucking it the way she would my cock. I groan at the thought. “Madison . . .” There’s a hint of warning in the gravel of my tone.
“Mmm, you already on the edge? Imagining me sucking you like this?” She nips at my thumb and I can’t take any more.
I pull my thumb from her mouth, gathering her hair in my fist. “More. Now.”
Madison agrees, spreading her legs wider for me. “Fuck me, Scott.”
Her words are dirty, but they’re soft. She’d said she didn’t want me to hold back, but I can hear the unspoken plea for me to not hurt her. Not physically, but emotionally.
We stare into each other’s eyes as I rub my cock through her folds, and I tease at her clit with my head, taking my time even though I want to bury myself inside her hard and fast. I press inside her slowly, groaning as her pussy takes me in.
The feeling of being accepted by Madison’s body is like coming home, a tight squeeze offering comfort and joy. I press her thighs down, pinning her to the table with my hands as I pause, pulling back before stroking half of my cock in and out of her, both of us moaning as her pussy grips my aching shaft. “That’s not all of you.”
“Not yet. Patience,” I tease her. “You’re so fucking tight. Tell me I’m not hurting you.”
Madison’s head thrashes against the table. “Not hurting . . . need more.”
I stroke my hips in and out, burying more and more of my cock deep inside her until I feel my thighs bump up against the lip of the table. I grab her hips, pulling her deeper onto my cock and making Madison grunt sexily. I growl, my eyes squinting because it feels so good. “Fuck!”
I pull back and start pounding Madison harder, watching her face for any sign of pain, but she wants more, reaching down and grabbing the edge of the table to pull herself onto my cock as I stroke in and out. I give her what she asked for. I give her everything.
Our hips slap together as I speed up, fucking her mercilessly as I abandon myself to my desires. Madison’s eyes leave my face to look at my tattoo, but she’s not scared. This time, she’s fascinated, tracing the lines and shapes with soft fingers before digging her nails into my skin as I bottom out deep inside her.
“Look at me,” I command, staring into her eyes as we climb higher. Her pussy clenches around me as she obeys, and I ride her hard, claiming her as my cock swells even more before exploding. The feeling pushes Madison over, and our cries mix into deep moans of satisfaction as our tongues swirl. Her pussy milks every drop from me before we freeze, and I hold myself inside her as long as I can.
“Amazing,” Madison whispers when she can speak again, stroking my tattoo again. “It’s not scary. It’s . . . beautiful.”
“What is?” I ask.
“Your sting,” Madison says, smiling as my cock slips out and she gets off the table to slide her legs in her shorts and panties. “Didn’t hurt at all. It felt so. Fucking. Good.”
Chapter 11
Scott
Daily Horoscope, October 1st
Scorpio
‘It’s complicated’ is a pessimist’s way of admitting he is too weak for the hard work the situation requires.
“And so, with the new tariffs the government is imposing on imports, there is a short-term profit opportunity for us.”
I tune out the guy at the front of the boardroom, one of the higher-level execs who isn’t a member of a ‘family team.’ He’s useful from time to time, but there’s a reason he’s found himself stuck in short-term, low-risk projects.
I’m just about to scan the room to see what Chase and Olivia are thinking when my phone buzzes. Glancing around to make sure nobody’s watching, I take it out, keeping it in my lap.
I can’t believe what we did last night. Please tell me you’re in a boring meeting right now, imagining me on the table like you said. ;)
Madison. I got her home about one in the morning before going back to my place and crashing for a fe
w hours. Still, my lack of sleep hasn’t hurt me. If anything, I feel energized and renewed. And yeah, sitting down at the board table today, I had a few hot flashbacks.
I tap out a response quickly. You like that I’m getting hard in the middle of a meeting because of you, don’t you?
There’s a delay in response, which makes me smirk as I look up and pretend to pay attention to the presentation going on up front.
I have a feeling she wants to play coy and act like she’s the good girl and that I made her bad. But I know she loved every last fucking minute of it. I know I damn sure did. Even after getting home, I had to quickly stroke off, wishing she was there for round two to cure my aching balls.
Finally, her response comes back.
I love it. Loved last night too.
Underneath the table, my cock hardens and my balls ache for release. I hold back a groan, knowing I can’t let a sound out. I have to delay this until after the meeting when I can take care of things in my office. Maybe I can call Madison and listen to her rub her sweet pussy for me while I jack off.
A few seconds later, I get another text. I’ve never done something so bad before.
Fuck. I almost type out a reply that I can show her bad, that I want to fuck her against those windows in my office, that I want to feel her soft lips wrapped around my cock while I sit at my desk, that I want to bend her over the bar at Stella’s and claim her so no one will ever disrespect her again.
In a meeting. Can’t talk.
Aww, I get with a frowny face. Well, I’m off to the rescue.
I should tell her to have a good time and put my phone away, but I can’t help myself.
Are you wearing those shorts I saw you in on TV?
Yeah, why? Like them?
My cock hardens even more, and I know I have to end this quick.
Fuck, yes. I can’t wait to see you tonight.
I shove the phone back into my pocket, hoping she doesn’t text me back. The vibration might be enough to send me over the edge.
“So that’s the deal,” he says at the front of the room, pulling my attention back to the meeting. I catch Olivia giving me a glance, but her face reveals nothing, which I guess is the best I can hope for.
There’s a polite buzz as the speaker sits down and Dad gets to his feet. “An interesting proposal. I’d like you to develop it more and send me the full package. Now, I have an announcement to make.”
I cut my eyes over to Chase and Olivia, but they both look as clueless as I do, which worries me. At least when my father’s stabbing only one of us in the back, I can predict what the fallout is going to be. Now, we’re all just waiting for his decree.
“I’ve decided that, before the company moves forward with the final decision on the major deals that Chase, Olivia, and Scott presented last week,” he says, making me bite my tongue for being announced third again, “I’m going to invite the heads of the various companies involved.”
“How so, sir?” Julian, one of the other executive vice presidents who is basically my father’s lapdog, asks. Dad gives him a small smile, a Milk Bone to his puppy.
“Glad you asked. I’m arranging a meet-and-greet dinner party downstairs in the ballroom. It’ll facilitate our learning more about them and their learning more about us, although I’m sure they’re thrilled to even be considered by Danger Enterprises. Kids . . . you can work with reps from your pet projects and each do a presentation of your plan once again. Let’s see if anything new shakes out.”
Dad looks pleased as punch at his idea, and I sneak another look at Chase and Olivia. To most folks, they probably look agreeable, but I can see the tension in Olivia’s eyes as she holds back the eyeroll, and Chase’s lips are almost lemon-pucker pursed. Guess his big move of coordinating a meeting between Lightspeed and Dad just blew up in his face. Now, we all get that opportunity. Way to level the playing field, Dad . . . while still controlling the plays like a dictator coach.
There’s a general murmur, most of it going along with Julian’s ass kissing. I hear lots of ‘great idea, sir,’ and ‘fine plan, Robert,’ and a ‘that sounds like fun, sir.’
Meanwhile, one person down at the end of the table, Marv Reinhold, clears his throat. “Mr. Danger, while that sounds like fun . . . it might end up having the opposite effect.”
Marv’s words are like ice in the room, and Dad turns, his face going from pleasantly absorbing the adulation of his sycophants to cloudy. “Excuse me, Marv?”
“I said that it might not be the best way forward, sir,” Marv says, his face going slightly pale as he realizes what he’s just stepped into. “I’m just saying . . . if the shoe was on the other foot, and Danger Enterprises was being invited to a partnership with another company, and we found ourselves being wined and dined while our potential partner trotted out the other companies they’re considering like a dog and pony show . . . well, we’d be grossly insulted and bail on the opportunity. I’d hate for that to happen with these proposals. These companies want the influx of our cash, and perhaps the competitive nature would make them want to win in the short term, but whomever we select will likely never trust us as a business partner in the long term. I’m afraid it’s a bit too ‘game show’ for such a serious matter.”
“Game show? You think this is a game, Marv?” Dad snarls, his face showing his fury. I’ve seen that look before. I’ve been on the receiving end of it multiple times, and you need to be made of titanium to withstand it. Marv is not titanium. He’s not even stainless steel.
“Of course not, sir. That’s what I’m saying.” Marv starts backpedaling, but Dad cuts him off with an outstretched hand.
“I want to know these companies inside and out before investing millions in their little start-ups. This is happening, so get on board with the game plan,” Dad tells the table of executives, cold menace in his words as he sneers ‘game’ with a pointed look at Marv. The whole room is silent as Dad looks around, his eyes a katana ready to behead whoever wants to go against him next.
Nobody, not even me, is willing to say anything, not even to correct him that none of these companies are exactly fly-by-night operations from some guy’s basement. All three proposed companies are medium-sized empires poised to launch into something much bigger. With our funds, of course.
Dad nods. “Meeting adjourned. Kids, stay behind.”
Marv looks pale but stands with as much dignity as he can muster and leaves with the rest of the board. When it’s just the four of us, Dad looks us over. “You three will not disappoint me.”
Hell of a pep talk. But that’s him, deliver or bust.
“Of course, Father,” Olivia says. “I’m sure the guests will enjoy a more festive gathering to present their potential to you and the board.” Her tone is even, flattering. But it’s a front. It always is with her, especially in her dealings with Dad. I wonder for a split second how she feels knowing that he always dismisses her, even when she does have a great idea. Consequence of having a vagina, according to Dad. A kernel of pity gnaws at my gut for her. She is brilliant and works her ass off to chase down new directions for Danger Enterprises, but she never gets any credit. My lips are this close to tilting up, offering her a brotherly smile, when I see her lean over to whisper to a smiling Chase.
Fuck it. Let Chase smirk and Olivia scheme.
Dad demands my attention from the sibling battle taking shape in my head. “Scott, what do you think?”
“I’m not worried. I know my proposal is good.”
He raises an eyebrow, but I’m not bullshitting. I’m confident.
I can see Chase giving me an eye like he wants to needle me, but he stays silent.
Dad gives us both a look and smirks a little. He always has gotten off on Chase and me butting heads. “For appearance’s sake, I also expect you all to have dates.”
I blink, surprised as his announcement makes me realize . . . none of us have been involved in a relationship to speak of in a while. Sure, Chase plays the field, but I can’t s
ee him settling down anytime soon. Liv, who knows? You can never tell with her.
Chase grumbles, sighing. “Really?” If either Liv or I had questioned him, we’d be flayed open. But Dad just gives Chase a sharp look.
“Yes, really. Dates,” Dad says, his raised eyebrow communicating that Chase has pushed enough. “Now back to work.”
We leave, and I’m surprised when Olivia gets on the elevator with me, because she normally takes the stairs, claiming it’s good for her calves. “Can we talk?”
“Sure, why?” I ask as the doors close.
“About the date. You mind if I borrow your friend, Robbie?”
I’m surprised and give her a look before bursting out laughing. “If I told you no, would that stop you?”
She sighs. “I’m not dating anyone, and if I ask someone from my team, it’ll lead to issues of favoritism. And we all know how well that doesn’t work. I’d rather not cause tension in my group.”
“But you will in mine? How’s it look that you’re taking one of my team members, my best friend at that?”
Her face looks pained for a moment, and I flash back to my earlier thoughts about the stranglehold my dad has on her, different from the one he tightens on Chase and me, but no less uncomfortable. I acquiesce, giving her a nod. “Fine.”
“Thanks,” Olivia says as the doors open and she walks off. Always short, at least with me. Given that Dad has always pitted us against one another, I understand.
On the next elevator stop, I get off and head into my office, where Robbie is already waiting for me. “So, how’d it go?”
“Olivia’s going to ask you to escort her to a work event,” I tell him before filling him in on Dad’s plan. “So I need you to start putting together a presentation. Start with the one I gave the board and polish it up to the point that every bit of it shines.”
“Okay . . . and for Liv?”
“It’s just business,” I reply, unconcerned. “I don’t think she’ll try to seduce you over to her team, if that’s what you’re thinking.”
