by Natalie Knight


  I'm heartbroken over the coming loss of my company and I'm heartbroken over him.

  I keep chastising myself for not being able to see this coming, for letting me be vulnerable like this. But then I remember how he was with me. The gentle yet hard way he made love to me, the sweet kisses, and the undeniable connection between us.

  Was it all a lie? Could Liam have been that good at deceiving? Or was I just too eager to believe him?

  My thoughts vacillate back-and-forth between wanting to think what we had was real and knowing he's the scum of the earth.

  Charlotte's checked in on me several times but besides that, I haven't talked to anybody. I don't plan on leaving my apartment for the next couple days. I just need to be alone and try to mend my heart. Something tells me it's gonna be a very long process.

  It's midmorning and I'm about to make my fourth espresso. I need caffeine to jolt me back to reality. I have to figure out a game plan for my career. And I have to help my employees find new jobs.

  The logistics of closing my company are overwhelming. I don't plan on getting a lot done for my apartment but nothing's gonna get me to leave. I need to recover first.

  My phone rings and I think it's Charlotte once again but it's coming from an unknown number. I answer reluctantly.

  "Hello?"

  "Hi Claire, this is Sarah from Velvet Luxe. I'm one of the executives who reviewed your campaign. I just wanted to personally congratulate you on the good news."

  "Good news? Has something happened?" I say.

  "Oh, you haven't heard yet? Then I'll let Liam be the one to tell you. But I just want to say that were so sorry for the misunderstanding. Please be in touch with me later."

  "Um, okay. Thanks, I guess."

  I hang up with her and wonder about what happened. What could she be referring to? Maybe this has to do with Liam's plan? Maybe I'll somehow still be part of the campaign in a small way?

  I don't know but my mind is reeling. I feel like a broken shell of emotions. I feel like I've been through a storm and though the waters are now peaceful, gloom has set in everywhere.

  As much as I want to be optimistic about it, I can’t focus on what Sarah said. Thoughts are randomly bouncing around my head.

  Will I ever be happy again? Will I ever be able to forget about Liam?

  Despite his betrayal, I find it hard to instantly stop caring about him. What we had was special and even if it was all a lie, it's hard for me to forget because I was real for me.

  I curl up on my window seat with my warm cup of espresso and think about him.

  Fall is transitioning into winter and I think about all the cold, lonely days ahead of me.

  There's a knock at the door and I figure it's Charlotte. She really won't leave me alone. She can tell that I'm so heart broken, I just need to be alone for a while.

  I go to answer it and don't even care that I'm in my pajama pants. I don't need to show off for her. It might make her more worried, but I can’t be bothered now with getting dressed.

  I open the door expecting to see her but instead, Liam is standing before me.

  His large body takes up most of the doorframe and I find myself thinking how handsome he is. At the same time, I remember to put on my most unaffected face so that he doesn't know just how much I’m hurt.

  "What are you doing here?" I say with only a hint of sullenness in my voice.

  "I'm here to win you back," he says.

  "You can't be serious. You set me up, Liam. I fell for your stupid plan and now you have everything."

  "Can I please come in so we can talk?" he asks.

  What's the harm? The damage is done. I might as well hear what he has to say. I step back so he can come into my little place.

  He walks in and makes himself quite at home, sitting on the couch before I have a chance to offer it. He's still so full of arrogance but now I find myself thinking that it's endearing. And I realize how much I miss it.

  "Claire, I wanted to come by to deliver the good news. I got you back the Velvet Luxe contract. I told them it was all Evan's fault, that he was deranged, and he set you up."

  "You did?" I'm astonished. "This woman named Sarah called. She's one of the executives. She was congratulating me and talking about something that I didn't understand. I guess it must've been that."

  "It didn't take much to convince them," he says. "Once I told them the truth, everything fell into place. I'm sorry Claire. For a while, I was in on Evan's plan. But then, as I got to know you better, I realized that you're this creative spirit. I started to see things in a different way. I started to see you in a different way, though just a bit too late."

  His words pierce my heart and I don't know what to say. I'm literally left speechless.

  He continues.

  "You have to believe me that I didn't want Evan to do any of that. He took his plan too far. He's lost his mind a little. I fired him, but I know that won’t change what happened. I just want to apologize for how much it hurt you. I should never have thought to take over your company in the first place. But I promise you that what we have is real, and I wasn't faking any of it."

  I look at him and want to jump into his arms, but I know it's too soon. I have my own apology to make. I want to come clean too.

  "Liam, if what you say is true, then I think I owe you an apology also. I spied on you. One morning after we slept together in your penthouse, I logged into your computer and I looked at your folder full of ideas for the campaign. I feel awful about doing it, but you see, I was desperate to save my company. I would've done anything.

  “Once I found what I was looking for, I came to recognize that my talent is enough. I realized too late that I don't need to spy or do anything deceitful to win. My campaign was based solely on my own ideas. I hope you know that."

  He seems relieved but still intense at the same time. I wonder what he's thinking and if I’ll be forgiven.

  After a few seconds, he stands and takes me in his arms.

  "Claire, I’d forgive you for anything. I’ll go to the ends of the earth for you. Somehow, someway, you’ve stolen my heart."

  His words bring tears to my eyes as I ascertain that happiness is within my grasp once again. Happiness for me is having him in my life.

  He holds me tightly and then leans down to plant the most tender of kisses on my trembling lips.

  Just I'm getting ready for things to go further and to feel that glorious cock inside of me at last, he pulls me towards the front door and opens it. He beckons me into the hallway and as I step out I see dozens of black and white boxes marked Velvet Luxe.

  "What is this?"

  "Instead of a dozen roses, I decided to buy you some Velvet Luxe lingerie. And now I want to see you in it,” his tone takes a turn and becomes a little bit darker.

  I look at all the boxes and I can surmise that there's at least $50,000 worth of lingerie here. He's hit on my secret dream. I've been eyeing their stuff for a while now with envy.

  "I expect you to model each and every piece for me. Is that okay with you, Claire?"

  How can I ever deny him a thing? I've fallen...hard.

  He opens one of the boxes and pulls out a slinky, black little number.

  "Let's start with this one," he says as he drags me back into my bedroom.

  Liam

  Words can’t even begin to express how thrilled I am for Claire. She deserves the Velvet Luxe contract. She’s worked so hard and so diligently. And to think I was supposed to ruin that for her.

  Fuck that. She’s so much more important to me than Evan’s stupid fucking plan. Seeing the sparkle in her eyes restored when I told her the truth…and seeing the smile on her face when I delivered the lingerie made my life one thousand times better than winning this contract myself ever could have.

  I gaze at Claire, still dangling the first piece of lingerie in front of her. She pastes a wide grin on that beautiful face.

  Quickly, she snatches the piece from between my fingers and rai
ses her eyebrows. Her famous sinister smile greets me, and her eyes lock with mine as she disappears into her bedroom.

  I make myself comfortable, sitting on her couch as the delivery team brings the boxes inside and as Claire goes to try on the first item. As the last box comes in and is stacked, the men give me a wave and leave.

  I give them a slight wave back, and I watch as they exit, closing the door behind them. As I hear the catch on the door, I also hear an “Ahem”.

  I whip my head in the other direction, and fuck me if I’m not prepared for what’s in front of me.

  In the doorway, I see Claire. She’s posed with one leg bent in front of the other, her body turned slightly to the side, her hand holding on the doorway above her, and her hair tousled into a cute messy bun. She looks fucking ready to be taken into bed.

  The fabric of the lingerie does favors for her, not that she needs any, but goddamn.

  The halter top gives her the perfect amount of cleavage, while the thin satin material shows her perfect, hard nipples. The high-rise hips show off those flawless thighs and her spectacular ass.

  I’m doing all I can not to ravage her right now. She has so many more outfits she wants to try on.

  “You look amazing. Abso-fucking-lutely amazing, Claire,” I manage to get out. I get off the couch, and her eyes are immediately drawn down to my crotch.

  There’s really no hiding the excitement. This is by far my favorite outfit I’ve ever seen her in.

  “Damn, I’ve got good taste,” I say to her. Looking at her look like that…well, I deserve to toot my own horn here a little, don’t I?

  “You’re right,” she responds. She twirls around in a circle, showing me her sexy, heart-shaped ass. “You do.”

  She peeks at me over her shoulder. She looks like she should be on the cover of a magazine, with her incredible confidence and sensuality heightened by this outfit.

  “Claire, do you know what they say about lingerie?” I ask. “And don’t get mad at the answer, because it’s definitely still a good thing.”

  “No, Liam. What do they say about lingerie?” she plays along.

  “Well, if you ask literally any guy on the planet about their favorite lingerie, they’ll tell you it all looks amazing on you,” I reply, “but that it’s truly worn best when it’s slung across the floor.”

  “Oh, really?” Claire says. “Are you up for testing that theory?”

  I don’t even entertain that question with a response. Rather, I charge at her like a bull ready to fuck up a china shop, meeting her at her doorway and wrapping her into my embrace and kissing her passionately.

  I pull apart the bow holding the halter top up, and push the top down. My hands graze her nipples, and she shudders at my touch.

  I help guide the piece the rest of the way off of her and slide it down her legs as she steps out of it. I take a step back and admire the beautiful woman standing before me.

  She’s got no makeup, her hair is playfully messy, and she has no clothes on. She’s truly a vision of beauty.

  “I forgot one thing,” I say.

  She looks at me, confused.

  I sling the lingerie into her bedroom and we both giggle.

  “I absolutely, one-hundred percent, will take you however you want to. But I can say with certainty that no matter how cute your lingerie is, or how hard it gets me seeing you walk through a doorway in it, it will always end up right there,” I say.

  I take Claire in my arms again, and I kiss her. My kisses travel from her lips down to her neck. I grope her gorgeous, perky tits as I nibble at her nape and the side of her neck.

  She rotates her head, closes her eyes, and tilts her chin toward the ceiling. Her nails graze my head, and I breathe in deep at her touch.

  We make our way into her bedroom, and I lead her to her bed. She sits right at the edge, and I get on my knees in front of her.

  She sits up, her legs spread for me already, and with her staring down at me, waiting, it’s clear to me what she’s asking for.

  Her hand pulls my head down to her pussy, and I happily lick her clit and am delighted at the sound of her tiny moans escaping her mouth.

  As I start sucking at her swollen clit, her fingers struggle to grip my hair, and she flexes her hips up at my face, grinding her pussy against my mouth.

  I lick up and down her pussy lips, which are wet with utter excitement. The sweet taste of her pussy has my cock throbbing hard, ready to fuck her right here and now.

  I kiss her pussy and bring my head up to meet hers. We kiss, and I lift her body up further onto the bed.

  I caress the curve of her waist and her hips as I pin her leg to the bed. As we kiss, I slide a finger into her pussy and wiggle it around inside of her.

  She moans for me while my tongue is in her mouth. I slide in another finger and break our kiss, with another moan quick to escape her lips.

  I bring my mouth to her nipples, and I start sucking and flicking my tongue against each of them as I finger fuck her tight, wet pussy.

  I kiss her chest, moving all the way down to her belly button, and then all the way down to her pussy. I finger her hard as my lips move back to her clit, adding another finger inside of her.

  She grips the bed tight and arches her back. “Fuck, yes, Liam, FUCK!”

  I feel her pussy tightening around my fingers, and she quickly explodes in orgasm all over my hand.

  “OH FUCK YES!” she screams in ecstasy.

  I pull my face up and watch as she writhes with pleasure from my touch.

  As her cum gushes from her pussy, I pull my fingers out of her and bring them to my mouth.

  I taste her sweet pussy juice and climb onto the bed with her. I lay next to her and kiss her lips. Moaning, she grabs my face and pushes her tongue into my mouth.

  She climbs on top of me then and pushes my legs apart with her feet. As she lies on top of me, she slowly lowers herself on my body, my cock feeling every part of her as she makes her way down, down, down...

  Claire

  I watch Liam’s face as I crawl down to his cock, hungry for a taste of it. I love the way he looks at me when I’m about to blow him.

  He knows I can drive him crazy. He knows that I know all the right things to do, and I never hesitate to do them.

  I give him a little wink before I reach down and wrap my hand around the base of his nice, thick cock. I bring my mouth down to it, eyes still locked on his face, and I curl my lips around it and start sucking hard.

  Liam’s eyes widen, and he moans a cute, breathy moan at me. It always turns me on when I see him getting pleasure from what I do to him.

  I swirl my tongue around the head of his cock and swivel it around as I take him further into my mouth. My hand and my lips meet, and I start bobbing and stroking him, twisting my hand around as I move up and down on him.

  He has both of his hands at his sides, and I can see his fist clenching and relaxing as I move on his cock. As I slobber all over his monstrous dick, I relax my throat to avoid gagging.

  I push his cock to the back of my throat and move my hand down to his balls. I swallow his cock down into my throat and bob up and down hard and fast as I massage his balls. His hands are gripping tightly to the bed.

  He moans loud and grunts before finally sputtering out “I’m coming!” at me. As his cock tenses in my mouth, I take a deep breath.

  Liam’s cock shoots cum into my throat and I continue bobbing up and down on it as he empties his load into me. As his moans grow quieter and his breathing starts returning to normal, I ease up and return his cock to my mouth, the head resting against my tongue.

  I lap up any residual cum and pull him out of my mouth completely. I look up at him and he’s completely in awe of my desirable skills.

  Teasing him, I lift myself up slowly and stand up. I subtly start backing away from the bed. Soon, I’m close to the door. Liam notices.

  “Where in hell do you think you’re going?” he asks, confused.

  “You
’ll see in a minute!” I shout to him. I just have to test the theory twice.

  I run out to the living room and find the boxes of lingerie now piled up and stacked in my living space. I find an attractive box and rip the tape from the top flaps, tearing it open.

  “You better stay in there, Liam!” I shout back to him in case he’s getting any ideas about checking on me. “I have a surprise for you!”

  “Alright?” I hear him shout back at me, uncertain about what’s going to happen. I giggle to myself at the fun I’m having, messing with him.

  As I paw through the different pieces in the box, I hold up one that’s caught my eye. It’s a red and black baby doll top with a matching thong. Yes, this is it.

  I step into it and clasp the bra portion. Damn, this looks amazing, I think to myself as I stare down at my cleavage.

  Slipping into the thong and positioning it up high on my hips, I smile at how it shows off my thick, sexy thighs.

  I give it a once-over in the mirror near my bookcase before I step back into my doorway. I alert Liam with an “ahem” yet again.

  He glances up, and sits straight up when he sees what I’ve done. As if the look on his face didn’t say it all already, his cock is already hard again.

  “Well, what do you think?” I ask anyway.

  “You look fucking phenomenal, Claire,” Liam returns without missing a beat. I can practically see drool dripping from his mouth as he stares at me.

  “Good, I was hoping you’d like it,” I say. I strike a couple of different poses in the doorway.

  “You need to come over here, please,” Liam begs. I oblige and climb onto the bed, straddling his lap.

  His hands immediately cup my ass and his thumbs slide under my thong. He runs his thumbs along the small string of fabric across the top of my ass before he lifts it up and starts pulling it off me.

  I stand back up, now off the edge of the bed and let the panties drop to the floor. Liam reaches up and unclasps the bra of my baby doll top and guides my arms out of the straps. He lets that fall to the floor below as well.

  He pulls me onto the bed on top of him and scoots us up toward the center. I straddle him, and grind my pussy on his cock, pushing it inside of me at its full length.
