Ground Floor: Toys and Games

by Jorja Lovett

  Just what she’d feared. One night of passion and she’d turned into some sort of pervert.

  Chapter Eight

  Jen was sure all eyes were on her when she stepped through Kelsey’s doors. She’d insisted they enter at different times so she scurried in while Jamie strolled in some time later.

  Kelly lay in wait. “I want all the details.”

  Jen didn’t know if she was ready for the inquisition when she was still trying to process the events herself. “I took your advice. Let’s leave it at that.”

  “Nuh-uh! You owe me. Christ, I need to get my kicks somewhere. I haven’t got laid in months.” Her over-sharing sister leaned on the shop counter waiting for more.

  “Too much information, sis. Look, I admit we slept together, but I really don’t want to go into details here.” Jen looked around the department waiting for someone to jump out and accuse her of being a slut.

  “Fine, but I expect a full account when we get home. Unless you and young Mr Kelsey have another liaison planned for this evening?” Over these past few days, Jen started to see how irritating her sister could be. It was no wonder she was still single.

  “No, I’m not expecting to spend another night in Jamie’s company. So, can we drop the subject now?” An unexpected surge of sadness washed over her. She should’ve known walking away from Jamie would’ve proven harder than she’d thought when she’d never been able to bring herself to leave Lee’s side.

  “Ms White, can I see you in my office please?” Stealth walker extraordinaire Jamie snuck up behind her.

  She’d forgotten about the morning rounds and hadn’t expected to have to face him so soon. Nor did she anticipate seeing him in such a foul mood when she turned around.

  “Is there something wrong?” In her few days here she’d never seen him look so angry. The notes in his hand were scrunched so tightly she doubted he’d ever be able to read them again.

  “We have things to discuss.” At the stern tone of his voice Kelly scuttled away to tidy an invisible mess at the far end of the shop, and Jen followed him with lead in her heels.

  What if he couldn’t stand to work with her now that he’d had her? She’d never bothered to find out to what had happened to his past conquests. Hired and fired in one week, that wouldn’t look good on her meager CV. And what would she put as her reason for leaving? Shagging the boss’ son and having the audacity to remind him of it simply by doing her job?

  He jabbed the button for the elevator and they waited without saying a word. Even when they were alone inside the lift he didn’t speak. She couldn’t stand not knowing.

  “Have I done something wrong? I’ll stay out of your way I promise. We’ll pretend it never happened.” She needed this job.

  He stared stoically at the doors, refusing to put her out of her misery. Only when they stepped out into the corridor did he acknowledge her, grabbing her roughly by the shoulders. “Is that what you want? Tell me and we’ll end this here and now.”

  “I thought that was what you wanted. You made it clear you didn’t want a girlfriend. What am I supposed to think, or do? This is all new to me.” She refused to break under the strain of her confusion. She’d had enough of being an emotional punch bag to last a lifetime. All she wanted now was some clear direction.

  Jamie pulled her into his office and pushed her up against the closed door. He savaged her mouth with a kiss that left Jen in no doubt that he still wanted her. She sagged against him and let him claim her swollen lips.

  He reached under her skirt and reminded her she was still commando by dipping his fingers into the pool of her arousal. Legs trembling, she struggled to stay upright, especially when he moved to crouch at her feet and stick his head between her legs. In actions she deemed more intimate than those they’d shared previously, he used his mouth to continue pleasuring her. He licked a path along her slit, pausing only to suck on her fleshy hood.

  With his hands on her hips he held her at his mercy whilst he plunged his tongue relentlessly into her pussy. Overwhelmed by the whirling sensation around her clit sending her into a frenzy Jen put her hand over her mouth to muffle the screams. The pressure inside her built until her body refused to contain it anymore. She came in one sudden, liquid burst that drained her and left her like a limp ragdoll slumped over Jamie’s hunched form.

  When he stood up, her juices glistened on his top lip and made Jen squirm all over again. “I think I need to sit down.”

  Jamie helped her to a seat, and perched his backside on the corner of his desk. “I don’t want a girlfriend but I do know that I want you, Jen. When I heard you tell Kelly we wouldn’t see each other again…I don’t know…I lost it.”

  He ran his hand through his blond hair. “I don’t want to end this before it’s begun and I sure as shit can’t forget it’s happened. No promises, no rules, let’s just see where this takes us.”

  Still trying to come down from her sexual high, Jen took a moment to understand what he was saying. “You want us to go on seeing each other? And still work together?”

  “I think we’re grown up enough to handle that, don’t you? Well, if we can keep our hands off each other that is.” He wiped away the traces of her climax from his mouth and started another fizz of excitement coursing through her veins.

  “Yes, Mr Kelsey. Now if that’s all you needed me for, we have a lot of organizing to do in the toy department. Some hot shot manager keeps giving me extra work to do.” She got to her feet and Jamie pulled her into his arms for a kiss. She could taste her arousal on his tongue. Next time she wanted to do the same for him.

  “Right, get back to work before I throw you over this desk and have my wicked way with you again.” He sent her off with a slap on the backside but the banter couldn’t quite erase all her doubts. At some point he would grow tired of her and she didn’t know where that would leave her in the future. Hopefully, still in a job and with a better bedroom repertoire than the next girl, but was that enough?

  Jen headed back to her department more confused than ever. This was what she wanted wasn’t it? A bit of fun without commitment. A relationship based entirely on sex that was never in danger of replacing what she had with Lee.

  She was moving on with her life like so many people had advised her to do ‘Lee would want you to be happy’, ‘You can’t stay single forever’. So why did she still feel like something was missing?

  Chapter Nine

  Jamie called in to see his father later that afternoon and keep him up to date on everything he had planned for the bank holidays. When he walked into the main office he was surprised to see the old man had nodded off behind the desk. It was so unlike him. Whether it was due to sleepless nights or ill health, both were grounds for concern.

  Jamie gave a discreet cough to waken his father without making a huge fuss of finding him asleep.

  “Just resting my eyes,” he muttered and immediately set to work organising the books on his desk.

  Jamie wouldn’t even dare suggesting he go home early because he knew it would send him into a rage. He would take it as a personal slight against his competency and not a simple concern from his worried son.

  “I just wanted to let you know I’ve arranged an in-store egg hunt along with those promotions we discussed in the toy department. And we’re doing a leaflet drop in the locale.” He left the relevant pamphlets on the desk for his father’s approval.

  John Kelsey peered at the brightly colored pages over his bi-focals, never hinting one way or the other what he thought of his son’s efforts. “I hope you haven’t wasted our entire budget printing these. You know they’ll be wrapping next week’s fish and chips.”

  Jamie refused to rise to the put-down. “I got a good deal at the printers, so you don’t have to worry, and I’ve agreed to do an article for the local paper in exchange for some free advertising.” This week ahead could make or break Jamie’s future in the store and he was going all out to make sure he delivered on his promise to his father.

  “I hope we don’t end up with a load of mucky kids rampaging through the store and leaving the place a mess at the end of it all. Kelsey’s has a reputation to maintain, you know, and Charles isn’t exactly on board with the idea either.” The pamphlets were tossed back onto the desk and Jamie knew it would take cold hard cash to impress his father.

  “I know. I’ll stay on hand to make sure that doesn’t happen, but I’m sure everything will be fine.” He tried to convince himself too. This little promotion was never going to change the store’s fortunes overnight but if he were able to prove a point to his father, and Foster, there was a chance he’d be allowed to implement more of his ideas. One small victory over their traditional methods could lead to a whole new era in Kelsey’s.

  Every meeting with his father left him emotionally drained. No matter how hard he tried, he never seemed to make any ground with him. When he left the old man, there was only one person who came to mind who was capable of lifting his spirits. And a whole lot more besides.

  He knocked on the shop counter to summon Jen. “Are you ready to go?”

  “I’d love to, but I need to go home and get some things.” She turned out the lights one by one, while Kelly appeared with their bags and coats.

  “We’ll swing by there first and get whatever you need.” He wouldn’t give her up without a fight tonight.

  “Can I scrounge a lift? I can’t wait to see mum’s face when you turn up at the front door with your mystery man in tow.” If Kelly was trying to spoil their evening, she was doing a bad job. It only made Jamie more determined to get Jen away from home as fast as he could. After all, they needed to continue her education as soon as possible.

  * * * *

  Jen would never live this down. She bundled her little carry-all into the boot of Jamie’s car, having packed the bare essentials to see her through another night away from home. Oh Jamie had charmed her mother with his manners and good looks, but ultimately they all knew she was leaving to have sex.

  She got into the front seat and buried her head in her hands. “That was so cringey.”

  They set off, with her mother waving her off at the front gate. Like she was saying ‘Go have sexy times with the attractive young man, daughter.’

  He laughed. “Why? She just wants to see you happy.”

  At some point Jen would have to explain why her mum saw him as some sort of savior rescuing her youngest child from a life of celibacy. She wasn’t one of those weird mothers who wanted to marry her off to the most eligible bachelor. To her, a red hot affair with the boss was probably preferable to Jen spending the rest of her days in mourning.

  “It’s like taking an ad out in the paper announcing I’ve finally lost my virginity. Some things should remain private, that’s all.” But she’d never kept secrets from her mother. She’d needed someone to confide in when she agreed to marry Lee.

  “It’s done now. So you can chill out. Or start swatting up for your next lesson.” He put his foot down on the accelerator, apparently as antsy as she was to get back to his place.

  “And what’s that?” She should have been tired after a full day spent on her feet, but all it took was his say so to get her in the mood. Her body was no longer her own.

  “I want you to touch yourself.” His gaze drifted from the road to her lap.

  Jen let her knees fall slightly apart to tease him. “Why would I do that?”

  “You need to get to know your own body. To find out what you like and what turns you on.” He reached across and stuck his hand between her thighs. “Good, you’re still commando.”

  He pulled away again, leaving her slightly frustrated. “You turn me on.”

  She didn’t see the point in getting herself off when she had a man to do it for her now.

  “Do it,” he commanded, his jaw set firmly.

  “Okay, okay.” She slipped her hand down to brush through her curls and part her pussy.

  Jamie adjusted the interior mirror so he could see what she was doing. This wasn’t all about her when he was clearly enjoying the view. She opened her legs wider and brought her fingers up to her mouth to suck on them for extra lubrication.

  She lay back in her seat with her eyes closed, imagining Jamie was directing her digits. She drew small circles around her clit, a pleasant relaxing motion that set her at ease. Imitating the action of his cock last night, she plunged deeper inside. A picture of Jamie on top of her, head thrown back in ecstasy, came to her mind. It was enough to flood her channel with her own juices. She moved faster, pushing for that same release he brought her to time and again, and sucking in a breath through clenched teeth.

  The car swerved and put her off her stride. On opening her eyes she found Jamie watching her intently, sweat breaking on his forehead. The power she felt in that moment was a bigger turn on than fingering her own pussy.

  “Eyes on the road, mister.”

  He turned his attention back to the country lane, empty save for their car. In the corner of her eye she could see the bulge in his trousers and a devilish thought entered her head. She reached across and gently squeezed his growing erection.

  Jamie sighed as she unzipped him from his constraints. “What are you doing?”

  “Next lesson.” She unbuckled her seat belt and bent her head down to take his cock in her mouth.

  “Holy shit!” The car swerved again but Jen was too engrossed in what she was doing to care.

  The silky length of him filled her mouth and she stretched wide to take him all in. She sucked from the base of his shaft to the tip and repeated at a quicker pace.

  “Fucking hell!”

  When her jaw started to ache, she took him in her hand and used her tongue to lick him instead. Over his balls, across his swollen head, she covered every inch of his hard-on with her mouth. She didn’t know if she was doing it right but he wasn’t complaining so she kept going. While she worked his shaft with her hand, she sucked the tip of his penis, tasting the salty essence rushing to meet her.

  Without warning, the car came to a sudden halt and Jamie started pulling on her hair. “Christ, Jen, I’m going to come.”

  She didn’t stop. She wanted him to come. She wanted him to lose control the way she did every time he touched her. Jamie grunted as he poured into her mouth. Jen swallowed it down in surprise. Job done.

  Pleased with herself, she wiped her mouth and sat up. “Do I pass, Mr Kelsey?”

  “With flying colors, Ms White. With flying colors.”

  Chapter Ten

  Jamie couldn’t concentrate on his every day job. Not when his extra-curricular activities with his new student were keeping him awake half the night. He yawned and keyed in yesterday’s sale figures on autopilot. It was just as well his daily tasks currently didn’t run beyond operations a trained monkey could do. Although the computer monitor in front of him was nothing more than a blur in his unfocused eyes, the images in his head of a naked Jen riding him like Seabiscuit, were crystal clear and infinitely more appealing.

  She was certainly eager to learn, although he’d experienced a small pang of panic in the car on the way to work this morning after mistaking her quiet contemplation as a sign of regret.

  “Is something wrong?” He’d dared to ask after the silence had become too much for him to bear.

  “You’ve been with a lot of women, right?” With anyone else it might’ve sounded like a trick question, wanting him to be truthful so they could start an argument over his playboy past. But Jen was always up front with him when it came to such matters.

  “Yes, but that’s in the past. It has no bearing on what we have.” Much to his detriment, he couldn’t change any of his mistakes.

  “I know. I’m just curious. I mean we’re having fun and all, but I’m worried it might be a little…vanilla for you.” She’d been so earnest in her concerns he’d managed not to laugh out loud.

  “What makes you say that?” Given half a chance he’d swap most of those one-night stands for another slee
p over with the woman beside him.

  “I know people like to experiment and I thought maybe you might get bored having plain old sex with me.” She’d fidgeted in her seat, looking anywhere but him. If they hadn’t been late already because of their morning antics, he would’ve pulled the car over and left her in no doubt about how good their sex life was.

  “Sweetheart, there is nothing ‘plain’ or ‘old’ about the sex we’re having, but I’m open to anything you might want to try.”

  He’d started the day with a boner and now he’d made sure he had a bad case of perma-erection. There could be no greater turn on than an attractive young woman eager to please him in bed.

  Jamie lifted the phone. “Hi, Kelly. This is Jamie Kelsey. Could you tell Jen I’m taking her out for lunch?”

  * * * *

  “Where are you taking me?” Jen pulled on her coat over her uniform. She wasn’t sure where Jamie usually dined but she was certain she wasn’t dressed for the occasion.

  “Okay, I lied. We’re not going out to lunch. I hope you’re not too hungry.” He grabbed her hand and whisked her out onto the streets of the city center.

  Jen’s stomach rumbled in defiance, but in this instance she’d rather sate her curiosity than her appetite. “I can wait, but what’s so important?”

  “Something you said got me thinking. There’s only so much I can teach you. Some things, well, you’ll just have to discover for yourself. I’m taking you to Gresham Street.”

  “Gresham Street? Where all the sex shops are?” Her voice dropped to an embarrassed whisper as they moved through the throng of shoppers and tourists toward the seedier end of town.

  “Yeah. You’re under no obligation to wear a long mac and sunglasses, I just thought you might like to have a look around.”

  The closer they got to the gaudy shop windows, the more she felt like a young innocent being led into a den of vice. She was so out of her depth.
