“You can’t be here at all hours of the night, Celeste. You’re making me look bad and that’s not good when I’m the boss.” Tyler with his blond good looks that you would find in some kind of magazine for beautiful people was standing there in front of me. He looked haggard and the expression on his face told me that he was ready to call it for the night. I was surprised that he didn’t have a date. It seemed that there was a different flavor every week. “I’ve gotten one final adjournment. This is the last one that they are going to allow before they ask for some kind of results. Just remember, this cannot be like any other drug out there. This has to be something that we can buy over the counter and not have any of the side effects of withdrawal or addiction. I know it’s a hard pill to swallow, but if anyone can do it, I know that somehow you will pull it off.”
“I’m just about done myself. I don’t know how much I can do without seeing all of these wavy lines in front of my eyes. If you would wait, I will come with you to the elevator.” I didn’t know if this was fantasy or reality and that gave me something to look forward to. I had bypassed all reason and judgment and was ready to throw caution to the wind. I couldn’t care less about anything, but I also harbored a distinct fear of doing something that was going to get me thrown off the project. This was too important and besides I didn’t have the courage to do something to initiate anything.
“I’ll give you a few minutes to finish up. I need to check some emails and then I’ll meet you down at the elevator. Don’t leave without me.” It was strange thing for him to say and maybe I was reading too much into it. The office area was deserted and not even the cleaning staff was here. They were to arrive in the next couple of hours, which left a lot to happen between now and then.
I finally pushed myself back from the computer. I was exhausted and unable to think straight. I rubbed my eyes with my glasses dangling from my fingers. I put them back on and smoothed down my plaid skirt. I stood on my own 2 feet in the 4 inch black high heels that I wore like a testament to the bad girl I wanted to be.
“I don’t know what’s taking you so long, but I really do need to get home and get something to eat. I’m famished and I could probably eat a horse right about now.” I heard laughter and I mistakenly thought that he was getting a big thrill out of what I had to say. It made me smile I went to his door to see that he was busy on a phone call.
“Of course I want to be with you, baby. You have everything going for you and I can’t wait to strap on the saddle and ride you like never before. You know that my cock is best suited for a woman of your obvious qualities. You know that when you scream in orgasm it’s like an aphrodisiac right to my privates. My cock is already hard for you, baby. Why don’t I come over right now and show you what I’m talking about. You can’t possibly deny me after everything that we’ve meant to one another. Of course, I know that we haven’t seen each other in some time, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t be friends with benefits. What better way is there for both of us to get off than by using each other’s body like some personal sex toy? I’m glad to hear you say that. It won’t take me more than 10 minutes to get over there.”
He hung up and I was standing there with my hand to my mouth in shock. “I didn’t mean to overhear any of that, but you have to admit that you weren’t exactly being subtle about your overtures. I’m guessing that you found something to do for the evening. I hope that you can stay awake long enough to get her there.” I wanted him to look at me like the way that he was talking to that woman on the phone. For the most part, I figured that he saw me as a little sister and nothing more.
“It certainly did make you blush and I’m not just talking about your cheeks.” I looked down and my chest had turned this rosy hue. I couldn’t help it and his words did affect me. The way that he stalked me from across the room was making me look at him like he was crazy. I couldn’t let him see how much his teasing was turning me on. He grazed my face with his hand. It had me practically begging to be taken. “You’re not so bad when you get close enough to see your natural beauty. I kinda like the curves and you wear it well. I think that you and I could have a lot of fun and maybe I could be the one to make you experience something that you’ve never had before.” I made my way down to the elevator.
“I really don’t think that we should be doing anything of the sort. You have to admit that workplace romances never work out. They’re always messy and awkward at the end of the day. I really don’t need that kind of drama in my life.” He was behind me and most likely staring at my ass and wondering what it would take to get me out of the plaid skirt. “It’s not like you don’t have a better offer. She sounds like she’s ready for you and why you would you even try to get into my pants god only knows.” It must’ve been the old adage of something that was unattainable.
“I don’t know what it is, but maybe I’ve always seen you differently than others. I thought that I had to protect you, but I also felt like you needed to wake up and experience the world. You’ve never been one for taking chances. I’ve seen the way that you’ve been looking at Drake and why the two of you haven’t jumped each other’s nerd asses is beyond me. His lingering glances and you staring at him when he’s not looking doesn’t go unnoticed by me. I also think that you have something of an attraction to me. It’s something that scares you and it should, because I can be quite overwhelming.” The feel of him pressed up against me was not for an innocent girl like myself.
“You can’t be doing this, Tyler. We work together and you know as well as I do that this is only the lack of sleep that’s talking. I don’t want you to think of me as easy prey. I’m going to do us both a favor and put a stop to this before it goes any further.” He was purposely bumping up against me to let me feel the full effect of his elongated member.
“You can’t tell me that you don’t have any feelings for me. The way that you’re backing up against me tells me differently. This is something that you think of often and believe me I know the feeling. Drake is a damn fool for not doing something about the obvious attraction between the two of you. I’m not one to lay back on my morals and I think that if it’s fun, then you should just do it and forget about the consequences. The worst that’s gonna happen is that we won’t be able to work together and what a crying shame that would be.” He might have thought that I was a dime a dozen, but I didn’t have that same sentiment. I didn’t want to lose the best job for one fleeting moment of pleasure.
“You can’t do this and it’s wrong on so many levels.” I watched the lights getting closer to this floor and I was praying that it would get here sooner than later. “I can’t have anything to do with you outside of the office.” He spun me around and kissed. His one hand went between my legs and was gradually moving that very plain skirt up a few inches.
“Who said anything about outside the office? We can do a whole lot with what we have around here. The break room has a very comfy couch. I’m sure that we could put it to good use.” His knee was rubbing up between my legs profoundly and I felt myself getting that necessary jolt of adrenaline to do something that I wouldn’t normally do under any other circumstances.
“You’re too abrupt and you’re not the type of guy that I usually go for. I need time to get to know someone and even though we’ve known each other for the last six months, I don’t know that much about your personal life. What I do know is that you are a bit of a womanizer and that you use women like you use Kleenex.” I was trying to get through to him, but I was doing nothing to stop him from stirring the embers down below.
“You are a bit of a tease, but I like that in my girls. It’s the hunt and the conquest that makes me want to do something about it. Every woman that I’ve known and gone to sleep with told me that my persistence was what made me appealing. I don’t give up and I don’t give in, until I have their panties on my floor and their bodies splayed out over my bed. It doesn’t matter if they are married or single. If I zero my sights on someone, I will have them by hell or high water.
All you need to do is open yourself up to my brand of seduction.” I heard the ding of the elevator. I walked towards it quickly to escape his clutches. I heard him saying something, but I had placed my hands over my ears.
I never noticed the sign at my feet or the feel of it scraping against my heel. If I had, I probably wouldn’t have plummeted into an open elevator shaft.
Chapter three
I didn’t remember a damn thing, but I did seem to recall both Tyler and Drake lamenting over something. I was lying on the couch with what I perceived, as a bandage around my head. I had no idea how much time had gone by, but it felt like an eternity. I had this throbbing in my head and it felt like a kind of pain that could only be felt when you were going through a lobotomy. It’s not like I had any reference for something like that.
“I called for an ambulance, but they are backed up with a ten car pile up on the interstate. They told me to keep her awake and talking. That’s hard to do when she’s unconscious and not responding to any kind of stimuli. You know as well as I do that she’s not going to survive. The blood loss alone is enough to kill anyone and she’s holding on by sheer will alone.” That was Drake’s voice and he must have come in at Tyler’s request or maybe he just showed up out of the blue.
“I feel responsible. I knew the elevator was under maintenance, but I got a little ahead of myself. I was only thinking with one head and didn’t realize it was out of order, until she took that one fatal step too far. She fell five floors onto the top of the elevator that’s stuck between floors. It was lucky. If she had fallen the entire length of the shaft, there would be nothing left of her. I know what you’re thinking, because I’ve been thinking the same thing. You know that the results are inconclusive and that we’re opening ourselves to a lawsuit that could bankrupt us.”
“Tyler, you of all people know how I feel about her. I can’t let her go not if there’s something that I can do about it.” I had no idea what they were talking about. Most of what they were saying was like it was coming from a long distance tunnel. It was an echo of one voice after another. “We’ve always wanted to try human test subjects. We have one lying right here in front of us. We have to try and it’s her only chance for survival.” I felt like I was slipping away and that their voices were slowly fading to almost a whisper of what they were before. I was struggling to remain in the here and now, but I was also looking forward to losing myself in the environment of fantasy.
“If we do this, we have to monitor her extensively for the next few days. We don’t even know if it’s gonna work. There’s only one way to find out. I’ll go get one of the pills and you make sure that we have a glass of water on hand to help her to swallow the damn thing.” The pill that they were talking about was something from the making of my own hand. If they were thinking about giving me that, then they were truly desperate enough to do just about anything to save my life.
“Drake, I know that you can’t stop staring at her chest through that red blouse. Her nipples being hard like that are courtesy of me playing those sexual games that I’m known for around the office. I was just going to hit it and quit it, but I didn’t get the chance. I don’t think that she truly knows what she’s capable of. Maybe this brush with death will open her eyes to new possibilities. She may even see what’s in front of her and grab you for a quickie in the bathroom. I wouldn’t hold your breath, but anything is possible.”
Drake didn’t give him a response to his query. I would have to say that he didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of playing his game. According to his own ego, Tyler was apparently the second coming and every woman was supposed to fall on their knees to worship him. I was not immune to what he had to offer and the length of his staff was something that could be easily seen. I mistakenly rubbed up against Drake a couple times and I knew that he was not exactly shy in that department.
They both had an amazing physique and now they were working together to save my life. They lifted my head and made me open my mouth and not in the good way. This all felt like it was happening to somebody else. I felt the pill in my mouth and the contact with my tongue was soon being chased with water that I could barely swallow.
It wasn’t long before I saw all of these pretty colors and I followed them with waves of my hands. Both guys were sitting vigil watching me intently. I had heard that they called the ambulance and told them that it was a practical joke from a teenage kid that had gotten access to their telephone. They didn’t want them to show up and find me this way. I was flying high, as an elephant’s eye.
“Be still and I just want to check your bandage to see if there’s any improvement.” Things were moving in slow motion and when Drake leaned over me, I saw his crotch and it was like a living heartbeat in front of my eyes. The thing had its own presence and then I heard an audible gasp that had nothing to do with me touching him in any way.
“You have to see this, Tyler. It’s better than our wildest dreams come true.” Tyler leaned over me and both of them were now in reaching distance. I tried to lift my arms, but they felt like I was carrying ten pound weights around my biceps. “It has not only stopped bleeding, but the wound is sealing itself. I know that it was rumored to have this kind of effect, but I guess I had to see it to believe it.” Both of their cocks were pumping like the beating heart underneath the floorboards to signify guilt.
My fingers were tingling and that sensation was traveling exponentially down over my body. When it reached my lower extremities, I was feeling like I wanted more than anything to show them how I felt about them. At the moment, I was not feeling exactly like myself. I needed time to adjust.
“I have to say that I’m quite impressed and this could net us a small fortune when it reaches the open market. I’m not saying that it’s going to be easy and we have a lot of hurdles that we need to overcome to get there. It might be at least three years before we see anything from any drug company that is willing to bend over backwards to pay through the nose. It would be easy just to pawn if off on one of them, but it would be, so much more lucrative if we were able to hold out and deal with all of this on our own.” I was feeling a little dizzy. My mouth was dry and I needed something to quench my thirst. I saw two very hard spigots ready to spew what I wanted.
They had exactly what I wanted and I licked my lips with anticipation of getting them even close to my mouth. My eyes were showing a tint of yellow around these guys like it was their own personal aura.
“I think that we need to take this one step at a time, Tyler. There’s still a lot of work to do, but we do have a willing subject. She’s not going to say anything and besides we saved her life with the very compound that she had come up with for this project.” I could smell the musk of their manly aroma. It was like everything about me had been supercharged.
“There’s no reason to talk about me like I’m not in the room. I can hear what you’re saying and I think that you’re both damn fools to do this. I know that you felt like you were up against a wall, but you don’t know what that’s going to do to me in the end. You could be making things worse by trying to make them better.” I got up on my elbows to see that somebody had undone the first couple of buttons on my red blouse. The color was the only real risk that I had ever taken. I’d seen it in my closet and it was used as a hooker outfit for an adults’ only Halloween party.
“I’m sorry that I took advantage of you. I thought it better that you felt comfortable and I didn’t want to restrict your airways.” I thought for sure that it was Tyler that was responsible, but apparently Drake had done the honors. If only he had gone all the way, I might’ve been crawling on my hands and knees to get to him about now.
“You stopped too soon.” I couldn’t believe that I had said something like that. It was like everything that I had been thinking was coming out of my mouth with no filter whatsoever. “You both should have stripped me naked, spread my legs and ate my little pussy, until I creamed all over your faces. I know that is exactly what you want.” I tried t
o stop myself without success. It was a diatribe of dirty talk that was having the desired results.
I tried to reach for them, but both Drake and Tyler decided together that they weren’t going to take advantage of me in that way. I was beside myself with the feelings that were creeping up in between my legs. I needed something that was going to take the edge off.
“Neither one of us want you to do anything that you’re going to regret in the morning, Celeste. It would be best that you stay here and let us monitor you for the evening. The way that you’re acting, I believe it’s better for all of us that you are locked up where you can’t get a hold of either one of us.” I could see that Drake meant every word that he was saying, but I was turning to Tyler hoping that he was going to see that this was his opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
“Let’s not be so hasty, Drake. She’s obviously feeling the effects of the drug running through her veins and there’s no reason why we can’t have a bit of fun. She looks so damned good and there’s something about her that draws me like a magnet.” This was exactly what I wanted to hear. Drake biting his bottom lip had me convinced that it wouldn’t take much to get them to see things from my point of view.
“You should really listen to Tyler. He makes good sense and it’s not like I’m doing anything that I’m not fully aware of. I’ve never felt like this and my head is literally swimming with endorphins. They are sending these very intricate messages back to the rest of my body.” I found myself over Drake’s shoulder. He took me into a room and locked it with his own code. I looked to them with hunger, licking my lips and stripping off my clothes.
Drake was forcing Tyler back and making him stay away from me, even though it was Herculean effort on both of our parts.
