I blushed a little at his name. Not only was his first name sexy but his last name was something out of a storybook. To think someone like this could be my knight in shining armor was something out my childhood fantasies.
As I thought about this, he made his way to my door and opened it for me, taking me by surprise. He offered me his hand and I took it hesitantly as he helped me out of the car. To my amazement, he did not let go of my hand. Instead, he held it with a strong grip and led me toward the building. We made our way hand in hand into the elevator. My cheeks were burning red as I saw people notice our intimacy.
I tried to figure out why he was doing this, but at the same time, I didn’t want him to let go. I couldn’t shake the intimate sense of attraction I felt to this man. He was not like any man I had ever met before. There was something about him that called out to me, that made me want him.
Eventually, the elevator made its way to the ground floor and we got inside of it. Slowly it made its way up to the top floor and still my new boss held my hand. I knew my palms were getting sweaty and I blushed in embarrassment. Soon, we got to the top floor and he opened up the door to the penthouse.
However, I had no time to admire the lavish living arrangement when all of a sudden he pushed me up against the now closed door. I gasped but even this was cut short as his lips pressed into mine. My heart threatened to beat out of my chest as he kissed me with a vicious passion, his fingers curling into my hair pulling it slightly.
I couldn’t control myself as the heat of the moment took over and I started to kiss back, my fingers tangling in his hair, messing up its perfect style. My other hand rested on his rugged face as he pressed his body against mine. I could feel the lean muscles that now laid hidden under his clothes.
Before I really knew what was going on, he had me partially naked. My shirt was off and so was my bra. His hands were on my large breasts now kneading them as he leaned down taking one of my nipples into his mouth. I was in a state of shock as a moan escaped my lips making me blush.
This moan seemed to create a frenzy inside of him as all of a sudden he was yanking at my pants until they were on the ground. In a flourish he ripped off my panties, making my yelp out. He smirked before kissing my neck, making me moan a little louder.
My attention peeked when I heard the sound of him unzipping his pants. My eyes grew big as I looked down and saw his well-endowed member standing at attention. Before I could stare at it any longer, he grabbed me and kissed me again, leading out bodies toward the leather couch in the living room. Soon he was pushing me down, until I fell over, landing on the soft cushions.
My body took over and I could no longer resist. As his lips pressed against my skin and his member pressed against me, I knew I would surrender myself up to him as I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing him just a little bit closer. It was my only sense of command.
Vance
I grabbed her hips as her arms wrapped around my neck. I was pleased to see she was eager and grinned to myself as I pressed my head against her neck, making her moan out in pleasure as I started to move my fingers against her.
My other hand moved over her curvy body, enjoying how supple it was. My dick twitched between my legs as I thought about being with her. I knew that in a few minutes she would be mine. As she started to moan a little louder a primal instinct took over my body.
I suddenly thrusted one of my fingers inside of her, hooking it upwards as I felt around for her G-spot. When I found it I smirked up at her, our eyes locking. I teased it gently, making her scream out in pleasure. “Scream my name,” I growled into her ear, pulling her closer as a second finger entered inside of wet folds.
Her eyes went big at my command but as I added yet another finger and thrusted them in and out of her, she couldn’t help herself. “Vance!” She screamed out, arching her back and giving herself up to me. I smirked in satisfaction and mid-scream I plunged deep inside of her. Her body froze for a minute at the intrusion of my member.
I could tell that I was bigger than any man she had ever had before. With this thought, I started to pound into her, going harder and faster with each passing second until her body started to rock on the couch. Her nails dug into my back and I grunted as the pain and pleasure mixed together inside of me.
Still I continued my rampage until I felt her quivering against me. “Cum for me.” I said my voice serious and my green eyes looking at her intently. Almost immediately she came, shivering in pleasure. I smirked and finally, after making her cum a few more times, I succumbed to my own pleasures, blowing my load.
She laid there breathing hard as I laid on top of her for a moment. I caught my breath before getting up. I leaned down and picked her up. She looked at me with a shocked expression. If I had to guess no one had picked her up in a very long time. I smiled as I saw the redness in her cheeks.
I took the short walk down to my bedroom, carrying her in my strong embrace until we go to my bed where I placed her down gently. She was still blushing as I laid down next to her. “I can’t believe we just…”
“Do you regret it?” I asked immediately, looking at her with an intense stare. From what I could tell she had enjoyed herself immensely but I didn’t know what was going on in her mind. Maybe she had secretly hated it, but from the wetness that had gathered between her legs, it was unlikely.
“No… I just…” She whispered, unable to make the words come out of her mouth. I chuckled a little and got closer to her, suddenly noticing a few bruises on her skin. I tried to remember if they were there before we had sex but I couldn’t remember. I decided to dismiss them, knowing I could be a little too rough at times.
“You can tell me,” I whispered, pinning a lock of her hair behind her ear. She looked beautiful lying down next to me completely naked. I ran my fingers over her skin slowly before kissing her cheek. She blushed a shade deeper when this happened and I chuckled, finding her incredibly cute.
Eventually, she fell asleep in my arms. She had never answered my question but then again I hadn’t urged her any further. In the future, I would teach her to answer back in a prompt fashion but this time around I would forgive her for what it was worth. For now, I was just glad that she had enjoyed herself.
With this thought I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me, feeling her body press into mine. With a smile on my face, I fell asleep, thinking about what would happen during her internship. After all, we would be spending a whole summer together. Already I couldn’t wait for the time to fly by.
Morning came faster than I expected. The snow storm had cleared up and I sighed, knowing I would have to forfeit my new lover for the time being. I looked at her, cherishing the few more moments we had left together. I pulled her closer and as I did she started to wake up, her eyes fluttering open until she looked up at me with those gorgeous brown eyes of hers.
She smiled a shy smile. “Good morning…” She whispered softly. Her hair fell into her face and I quickly pulled it away, not wanting to obscure my vision of her face for a moment. Her cheeks turned rosy before I kissed her lips again, reigniting the passion I had felt for her the night before.
Before things could get too intimate, however, my phone started to ring. I groaned as I saw an email notification from my secretary. Apparently they needed me at the office. “I have to go.” I finally said as I started to get up.
She watched me, her eyes glued to my toned body, giving me a confidence boost I didn’t need. I started to get dressed, finding a new sweater and dress shirt combination in my closet. “Get dressed,” I said looking at her. I didn’t like to be late but if she continued to lay in bed that’s exactly what would happen. She nodded and got up quickly, making her way to the living room where her clothes still lay scattered throughout.
Eventually, she came back, dressed. I smiled at her. “Good girl.” I praised, giving her a kiss on the cheek. I could already tell she was perfect.
Allie
Had I really slept with th
e CEO of a multi-billion dollar company? I couldn’t get the thought of our night together out of my head as I sat in the airplane making my way back to sunny California. I don’t know why I had slept with him but the minute he kissed me he had me under his spell.
My body had taken control and I couldn’t break away from his passionate embrace. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t regret it. Okay, maybe I had a boyfriend and maybe I had just cheated on him, but I am pretty sure Chad has cheated on me before. The only reason he keeps me around is to get good grades. I am nothing more than a tool for him to use and now that I have tasted the sweetness of love, I think I am ready to break up with him.
I smiled to myself as I started to watch the cheap movie they were showing on the plane, my mind wandering back to my new lover. I wondered, however, if I had just been a one-night stand or if our romance would continue during my internship. I hoped it would. As I thought about it, I blushed deeply, feeling my body react.
I tried to focus on the movie but it was no use. Vance McKnight was too much to ignore so instead I leaned back and tried to take a nap. As I did, my world of dreams brought him back to the forefront, reminding me, vividly, of how he had made me scream all night long.
When I finally woke up from my breathtaking dream, we were already landing. Quickly, I got out of the plane and took a taxi back home. I was excited to tell Julie everything that had happened. I opened the door and made my way inside, dropping my stuff off in the living room.
I raced upstairs and barged into her room to see her on her bed, her laptop in front of her. She looked up at me and smiled, seeing the excited look on my face. She closed her laptop before pushing it away and making room for me on her bed. I sat next to her, about to erupt with all the information I wanted to tell her.
“Julie!” I yelled. She chuckled and nodded, looking at me, waiting for me to say something else. I calmed down a bit, trying to get my bearings. “Sorry… I got excited.” I admitted before I took a deep breath and starting again. “I got the job… and I sort of laid the CEO.” I added in, twisting the event to make it seem like I had instigated the intimacy. Her eyes bugged out as she looked at me in disbelief.
“What!? No way! How? Tell me everything!” She squealed, getting closer. She was bubbling with curiosity now since she knew I wasn’t one to have sex out of the blue. I recounted my tale, making sure to include all the important details.
“Well, c’mon tell me about the good stuff already. Was he good in the sack?” She asked bluntly. I blushed at her question, wondering how I should answer her. She chuckled and held my hand. “Tell me!” She whined, getting on her knees, giving me a puppy dog look.
“He was really good… the best time of my life.” I whispered, admitting the fact. She smiled big and hugged me.
“Does that mean you are finally going to dump Chad?” She asked, looking hopeful. I bit my lip and nodded. I knew I couldn’t delay it any longer. I just had to figure out how I would do it. “I can help you if you want. Later, though. I have to go now. I have a hot date myself.” She chuckled and winked.
She got up and started to get ready. I envied her a little as she transformed into a goddess when she wore her bright red dress. I tried to keep my envy in check as she left the room and made her way into her car.
Now I was left all alone. I stayed on her bed for a few minutes before making my way out into the hallway. When I did I was taken by surprise as someone slammed me up against the wall, hard. “You little slut.” Chad suddenly growled in my ear, his hands like a vice grip on my arms. I winced.
“Let go of me!” I said, suddenly finding the courage I always lacked when he was like this. He stopped, looking shocked for a moment before his hand suddenly reached out and slapped me. My cheek started to burn as he pushed me to the ground, his anger apparent in the way he paced back and forth like a caged animal.
All of a sudden he pulled me up by my shirt, his face next to mine where I could smell his rotten breath. I cringed, making him even angrier. “Did you really think you could cheat on me and get away with it?” He threatened, pulling me up completely.
I tried to pry him off me but his grip was too tight as he started to pull me toward the bedroom. “Help!” I tried calling out, hoping some of the neighbors would hear me. He retaliated with a well-aimed punch to my face.
Everything seemed to stop for a moment and then everything started to swim before me as my surroundings melded together. I felt sick as a blow made its way to my stomach. All air left my body and I felt like I was being strangled. My whole world started to fade out in a moment.
The last thing I remember was him hovering before me, a crazed look in his eyes and an evil smile painted on his lips. Then everything went black.
Vance
It had been less than a day since Allie left and yet I already missed her. I knew the time between now and the summer would drag on without her by my side. But I would just need to be patient and wait for the time to come where she could intern for me on a daily basis.
I reclined in my chair, balancing a pen between my fingers as I grinned to myself, my mind replaying the events of our night together. All of a sudden, my phone started to ring with an unknown number. I looked at it strangely for a moment, wondering who it could be.
After the third ring, I picked up. “Hello?” My voice was cautious as I listened intently for a response.
“Mr. McKnight?” The voice on the other side of the line sounded distraught.
“Who is this?” I asked immediately, looking around my office before getting up, pressing my cell phone against my ear a little harder. “Hello?” I asked after a pause.
“Look you don’t know me, but you know my roommate and friend… Allie.” She said her voice tense. I could tell there was something wrong and a knot formed in my stomach as I thought of the worst possible scenarios.
“Did something happen to her?” My voice was serious now as I walked in front of my windows, my mind coming up with a million different reasons why this girl could be calling him.
“Yes. I found your number in her phone. I didn’t know who else to call. She hasn’t spoken to her mother in ages. She has no other family and her douchebag boyfriend isn’t going to help.”
“She has a boyfriend?” I asked, my voice a little tense at the thought of her being taken. Had she only been eager to be with me for my money? A small spark of hatred flashed through my eyes as I waited for the woman to reply. Her slowness of response was annoying me now.
“Well not anymore… he just landed her in the hospital.” I froze in place. He had done what? Anger boiled inside of me as I pictured the beautiful girl I had just slept with in the hospital. I didn’t know who this man was but I already wanted to tear him limb from limb. Who did he think he was that he could lay a finger on her?
I suddenly stopped in my tracks, remembering the bruises she had on her body. Had he created those as well? I ground my teeth in my emotion, knowing that if I ever saw this man I would kill him.
“Hello?” The woman called out when I didn’t respond.
“Sorry… what hospital is she in?” I asked as I grabbed a notepad and pen.
“South General… but how on Earth?” Her voice sounded confused.
“I will be there soon.” With that, I hung up the phone. I could feel my heart racing as I thought about the situation. If I had known she was in an abusive relationship I wouldn’t have let her go back. I felt like blaming myself but then remembered I had to get to the airport as quick as I could.
I stopped by my secretary who looked shocked when she saw my now red face and my messy hair. She had always seen me with my short brown hair styled to perfection. She, however, quickly composed herself, ever frightful that I would fire her if she ever slipped up.
“Can I help you, sir?” She stammered, trying not to make eye contact with me.
“Cancel all my meetings until further notice,” I said, my voice clear. She looked shocked and was about to say something when she no
ticed my expression was not one to be challenged.
“Yes, sir.” She nodded, looking down and quickly typing away at her computer. Once I saw her adjusting the calendar, I walked away. I grabbed my keys out of my pocket and impatiently waited for the elevator. Finally, it came in and using a little trick I learned from the maintenance crew I made it to the bottom floor without being interrupted.
With a quick step, I made my way to the garage, my mind trying to figure out what was more important: Allie in the hospital, or the asshole I needed to take care of. My hands were tight around the steering wheel as I speed through the streets of New York City. There were a bunch of horns being honked in my direction but in this moment in time I didn’t care.
I just wanted to get to the airport on time. However, as I got onto the main roads I was at a standstill as rush hour took over and each car moved at a snail’s pace. I felt frustrated and cursed myself for not taking the subway. I sat there shimmering, inching my car forward any opportunity I got.
Finally, after more than an hour stuck in traffic, I made my way to the airport. I tossed my keys to the valet and sent a text to my secretary to have someone pick it up soon. I didn’t know how long I would be in California but all I knew was that I wasn’t going to leave the West Coast until I knew Allie was okay and that the man who had hurt her wouldn’t be able to do it again.
With this thought in mind, I made my way to the counter. “I need a ticket to LA,” I demanded, my eyes intense. The woman looked at me, noticing my handsome face and the way I was dressed. She could tell I was some sort of businessman but right now her gaze was just annoying me. “Stop gawking and get me a ticket,” I said harshly, breaking her out of her trance.
She typed away, looking at the screen before her when a frown contorted her lips.
“I am sorry sir, but the oncoming snow storm has forced us to cancel all flights to California.”
