  Maybe Alicia didn’t want to date me because I living in New York and she was planning on moving back to Illinois? That was certainly a possibility that I had not considered before.

  As I climbed into my own bed for an early afternoon nap, I couldn’t help but imagine that Alicia would look fabulous naked in my bed. Her red hair and fair skin against my dark blue satin sheets would be worthy of a picture for sure.

  The thought of her naked in my bed was enough to help me drift off to sleep and have some amazing dreams. Every imaginable sexual dream I could have, I had that afternoon with Alicia on my mind.

  Chapter Twenty-Four

  I just couldn’t get back into my normal routine at the office. It was constantly difficult for me to concentrate. Mostly due to my thoughts of Alicia and her company, which consumed much of my time in the mornings.

  Instead of analyzing new companies, I had become obsessed with trying to figure out what was going on with Alicia’s. Her company stock was growing faster than any of my other holdings and I needed to make a decision. I needed to get out of it or continue to ride it by investing more. The only way I could make that decision was to figure out what was going on.

  “Mr. Gade, you have a visitor,” Darla the temp said through the speaker.

  I didn’t typically have visitors that I wasn’t expecting.

  “Who is it?”

  “Ms. Warren from ALL Warren Clothing.”

  I froze.

  I had told Alicia that I was a real estate investor, I had told her many things. The lies and truths were confused in my head at this point. What was she doing at my office?

  “Um, send her in.”

  Alicia walked into my office and shut the door behind her. She looked relaxed and certainly not upset that I had lied to her about what I did for a living.

  “So, I can’t take it anymore. Why didn’t you tell me you were a stock, investor?”

  My mind raced as I tried to figure out if I should keep my cover, or if there was any way to keep it. I couldn’t think of a logical explanation. Obviously, I was sitting in the middle of a very large office with my name on the door. It was time to confess.

  “I didn’t want to freak you out with you IPO.”

  “You do remember that I saw you on the stock exchange floor, right?”

  “Oh Fuck!”

  I was so stupid. Of course, yes I had rescued her away from Bill Yobi when she rang the bell on the stock exchange floor. My brain was total mush when it came to details about life, which was extremely strange since I did so well when it came to details about stocks.

  “So I got tired of waiting for you to stop lying to me. I need this out in the open. If it’s an issue, then let’s talk about it. If it’s not an issue, let’s move on.”

  “It’s not an issue for me. I just thought you wouldn’t want to hang around a guy who was buying up shares of your stock.”

  “It bothered me more that you lied.”

  She walked toward me and I could see in her eyes that this lie had been the reason she distanced herself from me. She wanted to know the truth and I kept talking about real estate and lying to her. It was a stupid lie, really I didn’t get any inside trading information; there was no reason we couldn’t be friends.

  Now if I had been able to get the hidden financials of the company, that would have been a different story. But I had not seen any of them yet and I still wasn’t sure Alicia even now what was going on with her company. Perhaps there wasn’t anything going on at all, I really had no idea. My whole theory about her company seemed ludicrous now that I knew her and knew what her personality was.

  She wasn’t the type of person who would try and defraud people. At least I didn’t think she was. My usual instincts seemed off because of my desire to ravage her body. My thoughts of Alicia’s naked body kept me awake at night. It was worse than any other woman that I had thought about in a very long time.

  Her body; that damn, perfectly formed body. She stood in front of me waiting for some sort of epiphany from me about why I had lied about my job. But all I could think about was that her bra was visible through the white t-shirt she had on. Her jeans fit perfectly around her ass, and my desk would be a really good place for her naked body to lie down.

  “Come here,” I said as I grabbed her hand and walked her over to my desk.

  Gently I placed my hands on her hips and lifted her onto the mahogany top. I spread her legs to either side of me and slowly pulled her body towards my pelvis as I leaned into her.

  “Is this how you apologize?” she asked with a little smile.

  “Yes,” I said as my lips moved to her neck and I kissed her delicate skin.

  “I don’t think this is how you are supposed to apologize.”

  “Mmm, that’s funny; I think it’s the perfect way to apologize.”

  My hands gripped her thighs and I let them move firmly up and down her tight denim pants. I wanted to reach up and rip her pants off, but I knew that was too fast for her. Alicia wanted the song and dance. She needed the buildup of romance; oh I could give her what she wanted.

  I cupped her cheeks and held her face in front of mine. The moment required some attention. It was the first time our eyes had stayed locked onto one another’s for any good period of time.

  She was so beautiful, so innocent, I wanted to just blurt out the concerns I had for her and her company. I wanted to ask her all the questions that still haunted me, but I didn’t want her to hate me. There was more at stake than just an investment; I couldn’t turn her against me.

  The intense look between us was finally broken when Alicia leaned in and kissed me. It was filled with passion and my cock got hard instantly with a desire for her. I knew she felt it. I wanted her to feel it. I wanted Alicia to know just how bad my body ached to be inside of her.

  I pulled her hips tight against me and thrust my pelvis toward her slowly. My cock pressed on her center as her legs wrapped around me tight. Oh, how I wanted to free myself from the confines of my pants and feel the sweet pleasure of her folds wrapped around me. It was too much to even imagine and I felt the drops of excitement leak from my tip.

  Our mouths intertwined with each other and I felt her tongue and its passion for me. Something had changed in the way Alicia looked at me. Something had changed in her desire for me. I liked it and I wanted more of this new passion.

  We let our hands explore each other as our bodies pressed hard against one another.

  “I think I should go,” Alicia whispered and then pushed me away.

  “No, you don’t have to go. You should stay. You should take that shirt off and stay for awhile,” I said and playfully tugged at the hem of her t-shirt.

  “I really do need to get going. I just didn’t want there to be that stupid lie between us. Now we have it cleared up and can move forward.”

  “Yes, let’s move forward right now. I’ll start,” I reached for the top button of my shirt.

  “Stop, Evan. I’m not having sex with you in your office.”

  “Are you sure? I mean we are in my office already and I can have this shirt off in no time.”

  Alicia laughed, but then slid down from my desk and moved toward the door. She seemed much more comfortable around me, so for that I was very grateful. The flirting and chemistry between us had increased by double since the last time I saw her; perhaps the lie about my job had been holding her back.

  “Oh, I forgot to ask you if you wanted to have a night of fun with me later,” Alicia giggled and I couldn’t stop staring at her.

  Her smile mesmerized me, it was sweet wholesomeness was something I could have only dreamed about. Yet there it was right in front of me, a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. Her breasts pressed hard against the white t-shirt and her head tilted back with her laugh.

  “I’d love a night of fun with you,” I said as I winked. “But I suppose your idea of a night of fun and mine are probably totally different.”

  “I’m pretty sure they
are.”

  Alicia had a mischievous smile that intrigued me. I could tell her night of fun wasn’t going to be the two of us naked in a bedroom, but that was alright. I liked the idea of spending more time with her. It would get me one step closer to having her naked in bed. It might also give me the information I needed to figure out the mystery of her company.

  “So what time should I come pick you up? Is it tonight?”

  “Yes, tonight. Swing by my place around eight o’clock and we can go have some fun.”

  Alicia leaned in and tried to give me a quick peck on the cheek, but I couldn’t let her go. I grabbed onto her ass and pressed her up against the bookcase. My body throbbed for her. I needed more—a taste, a touch, anything more. I couldn’t just let her leave. This was the first time she had been so willing to be vulnerable. I didn’t want it to end.

  My hands slipped under her t-shirt and she gasped as my fingers touched the skin of her belly. I delighted in the reaction I got. Her body pressed toward me and she moaned with delight. It urged me on to go farther, to see just how much she was willing to allow.

  “I’ll be to your place at eight o’clock right on the dot,” I whispered quietly as I let my lips move down to kiss her exposed stomach.

  I was on my knees with her pinned against the bookshelf. My lips had to explore.

  Over her jeans, I let my lips kiss down the front of her pants and rest between her delicious legs. She didn’t stop me. Alicia spread herself open so my mouth could put pressure on her delicate flower.

  Every muscle in my body contracted as I tried not to rip those denim jeans off of her. My hands gripped the top of them and held on tightly. If the buttons had let loose, there was no way I could have refused myself. I needed to taste her. I needed to feel the release of pleasure from her body as I brought her to happiness.

  But it couldn’t happen just yet and I knew it. Alicia wasn’t ready. She needed more time. We had already seen each other give times. Soon she would be mine and I knew it. Especially after playing with her in my office, I knew she wanted me just as badly as I wanted her.

  “Tonight will be date six,” Alicia said with her hands in my hair.

  I slowly stood up and kissed her. My lips pressed hard against hers and again I had to let my bulge rub against her so she knew just how excited she made me.

  “No. Tonight will be seven,” I teased. “This is date six. I just gave you your goodnight kiss.”

  She laughed and went along with my logic. Alicia was a fun loving girl with a great sense of humor. Certainly someone I liked to hang out with. Certainly someone I wanted to hang out with naked.

  “Alright, I’ll let you have your date six. But only because date seven sounds like it will be our lucky number.”

  “I like to get lucky,” I said as I walked her toward the door of my office.

  “I know you do.”

  “So are you saying I’m going to get lucky tonight?”

  “Well you’ll be on a date with me, so of course you’ll be lucky.”

  That was good enough for me. I leaned in and gave her one last quick kiss and then watched as she left my office and walked through the crowd of brokers.

  I was a horrible liar. That was one thing I knew very well. I had totally forgotten about telling Alicia I was a real estate investor, and then I had seen here right in the middle of the stock market floor. I guess being a bad liar wasn’t the worst thing in the world. My honest was sometimes brutal but never mean. I valued people and could honestly talk my way around most situations. But lying to a woman had never been my thing.

  Most women, even one night stands, valued honesty. Sometimes I had to omit information, but I never purposely tried to lie. It had been a stupid mistake to try and do it with Alicia and I hoped it had not changed the way she trusted me in the future.

  Chapter Twenty-Five

  My day had finally turned around and I was able to be more productive than I had been for the last several days. I went through and made some purchases for my portfolio and managed to get some much-needed research on other companies completed.

  “It’s my last day today,” Darla said as she brought me a sandwich for lunch.

  “Wow, this week has flown by. I can’t believe it.”

  “Hopefully I did you proud and I can come back the next time Natasha needs time off.”

  “Darla, I have to say you did wonderfully. It’s amazing how much an assistant can get done when I’m not badgering them all the time. Thank you again for the hard work.”

  “I appreciate your kindness. Also, that you didn’t spend the week badgering me for a threesome. Natasha was positive you would. But you seemed very distracted this week.”

  “Yes, that woman that was here this morning. She is the one distracting my thoughts.”

  “I could tell. She is very beautiful.”

  “I know. Isn’t she?”

  “Yes, certainly a woman to be proud to have on your side. Does she have a beautiful inside as well?”

  I wanted to say yes, but the truth was that I didn’t really know Alicia’s insides all that well. Of course, I could joke about that sexually, but really I did want to get to know more about what made her tick.

  My whole world in regards to women had been about their bodies. Oh how I loved their bodies. Alicia had been the first woman in a very long time that I actually enjoyed having conversations with. Although I still had not done very well actually getting to know her.

  “I think so. She seems really nice.”

  “Maybe that’s the key to getting her to sleep with you?” Darla said as she winked at me.

  “Oh, you mean women want us guys to get to know them before we have sex? That seems weird,” I laughed.

  Darla was right, though. Alicia wasn’t just some girl that I had tried to pick up from the local bar. She ran a business, she was smart, she had a busy life of her own. There was no way Alicia was going to sleep with some guy who had lied to her from the beginning and hadn’t put much effort into getting to know her at all.

  “You know I’m right,” Darla smiled.

  “Yes, I do. I just haven’t tried to have a real relationship since college. I’m pretty new at all this real world dating stuff.”

  “Take your time. Are you really in that much of a hurry with her? What does it matter if you don’t fuck her for another month? Nothing will change. You won’t die. Try relaxing and really getting to know her.”

  She was right in more ways than just having sex with Alicia. If I wanted her to trust me enough to open up to me about her business, I had to be willing to open up to her. My goal needed to switch from fucking her, to getting to know her. That was the only way I would ever be able to analyze her company or get details about the financials.

  “You’re totally right Darla. I bet your wife has to say that to you all the time,” I laughed as I imagined Darla’s significant other apologizing.

  Then I kept thinking about Darla and her wife and wondered what the other woman looked like. My mind was filthy with thoughts of the two of them and their alone time at night. I must have had a quirky smile on my face because Darla bonked me on the head.

  “Stop that!” she said.

  “What?”

  “I know you were thinking about my wife and I having sex.”

  “What?” I said obviously lying. “Of course not.”

  “If you can ever get over the lust I would actually love to invite you over for dinner sometime. Maybe you could even bring this new friend of yours. She could see that you were an actual nice guy who socialized with women and didn’t turn into a creep.”

  I laughed. I wanted to be that guy. I wanted to be able to show Alicia that I could sit down to a meal with a couple hot lesbians and just enjoy the company. The truth was, there was no way in hell I could do that. My mind was already filled with lustful fantasies and I hadn’t even met the other woman.

  “I could give it a try. But I would really like it to be strip poker instead of dinner.�
��

  Darla just laughed and made her way out of my office shaking her head. It was obvious she didn’t believe I could be appropriate for a whole dinner either. I suspected that people often made comments about her and her wife. They probably also made sexually inappropriate comments like myself. Or at least that was what I told myself.

  My day was one of the best I had had in a very long time. I made a ton of money on some good trades and still finished in enough time to get ready for my date with Alicia. I had forgotten how fun it was to get excited about a real date. There was a buildup of anticipation that was fun and certainly something I missed having in my life.

  I couldn’t really remember why I had stopped dating. There had been a definite change when I moved to New York. The women were tough and all of them were busy. No one wanted to go on long, drawn out dates. One night I just made the proposition to a woman to come spend the evening with me. Nothing more and nothing less. It seemed to be the perfect thing for what she was looking for and we had a fun night together.

  I made my way over to Alicia’s after a quick shower and change of clothes. Since she said it was going to be a ‘night of fun,’ I dressed casually. Especially since I remember the trampoline place we had been a few nights before. Obviously, Alicia liked to have fun and wasn’t afraid of a little physical activity. Even though there was a little different type of physical activity that I wanted to do with her.

  I waited in her lobby after I buzzed her apartment. She said she would be right down and likely didn’t want me anywhere near her apartment after the make-out session we had had earlier in the day. But that was alright with me. I was set on getting to know her more. It was new territory for me and I was ready to give it a try. Hopefully, it would help me get to the bottom of what was going on with her company, and also get to spend some naked time with her.
