“Maybe, but you are the first person I’ve said it to that I’ve actually meant it,” Gerard said smoothly, his hand reaching out across the table to take her small, delicate hand in his. “I also have a confession to make. I lured you here under false pretenses. This isn’t a date for me to apologize about how I’ve been acting lately, though I do admit that I want to. No, the real reason I brought you here is that there is something that I want to admit to you; something that I’ve been feeling for a very long time and don’t wish to hold in anymore.”
“W-What is it?” she asked breathlessly.
“I want you to go out with me, Elena,” he said softly, smiling.
Chapter Eight: Elena
The rest of the date passed in somewhat of a blur. Elena had been so taken aback by Gerard’s confession that she hadn’t known what to say at first. She couldn’t deny that she had thought about such a relationship ever since she and Jeremy had broken up, especially since she and Gerard typically got along phenomenally well. There had been more than a few instances in the time that they had been partners that the two of them could feel the sexual tension between them, and it had only been Elena’s relationship that had prevented the two of them from acting on their desires. Now there were no such obstacles to be seen, and Elena was of the opinion that maybe the two of them going out wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Surely the additional intimacy would only work to make them that much more of an efficient team, right?
She didn’t give him an answer right away; their conversation being temporarily sidelined thanks to the return of the waiter with the rather expensive bottle of wine that Gerard had ordered for the two of them. He poured each of them a glass, his hand steady and unhesitant as he filled each one before handing one to her. She smiled gently as she remembered the time that the two of them had been forced to work undercover as bartenders in Munich for a while for one of their previous assignments in order to take down a wealthy mogul who had been running an underground prostitution ring. He had seemed skilled in the art of pouring drinks even back then, and she wondered, not for the first time, where he had picked up all of these skills that he seemed to possess.
They had chatted idly while drinking, Gerard telling Elena about some of the goings-on in his company and Elena talking about some of the ideas she had about how to spend their next week off. She brought up the possibility of leaving the country for a few days for a short vacation, something that Gerard seemed to think wasn’t a bad idea. When she brought up the possibility of going to Barcelona, his interest seemed to be piqued even more. She could tell that he was just waiting for her to ask if he wanted to come along, and if she thought about it truthfully, she wouldn’t have minded his company.
When their food arrived, Elena found herself feeling surprisingly hungry. The meal at Charlie’s earlier had been great, but her hyperactive metabolism meant that she got hungry a lot quicker than most other people did. Her food had already been digested thoroughly, leaving her feeling like she hadn’t eaten anything all day even though she had. The two dug in with gusto, making sure to try each dish, though Elena quickly found that she wasn’t a fan of the coconut crumble prawns. Likewise, Gerard was not a fan of the chicken satay skewers, citing the crunchy peanut sauce as something that he didn’t particularly enjoy. Aside from that, their meal was rather pleasant, and by the time they left the restaurant, they were both feeling the effects of the liquor they had drunk.
As they rode in the back seat of the limousine, Elena suddenly found her face being gently cupped by Gerard’s hand. She gazed curiously over at him only to find his lips suddenly being pressed against her own, the surprise of the sudden action causing her to freeze momentarily in place. Normally she would have pushed him back, but for some reason, she didn’t. Instead, she returned the kiss eagerly, her arms moving to wrap around the back of his neck to help deepen the kiss. She felt his tongue slide along her lips and opened her mouth to allow it inside, their tongues lashing against one another for a moment until the two had to break their kiss to catch their breath.
When the limo stopped in front of her apartment, she found herself not wanting him to leave. They had been having such a good time tonight that it seemed like it would be a shame to let it end ahead of time. “Would you like to come up and stay for a while?” Elena asked quietly, the eager glint in her eyes betraying just how badly she hoped he would accept her invitation.
“I don’t see what the harm would be,” He said with a knowing smile, his hand reaching down to stroke over her thighs teasingly. “I’m sure there are plenty of things that we could do tonight.”
I think you mean there are plenty of things that you could do to me tonight. The thought brought a blush to her cheeks, but it wasn’t one of embarrassment. She had felt a sensation of burning desire flare up in her loins, her pussy already beginning to grow damp with anticipation despite the two having done nothing but kiss. She had never slept with Gerard before, but she had fantasized about doing it enough times that she could imagine what lurked within his pants, which only served to excite her all the more.
After Gerard sent his driver away and the two had made their way up to Elena’s apartment, she was surprised at how quickly he began to take charge. No sooner had she managed to push her door closed after the two had stepped inside did she feel his arms wrapping around her, pulling her tightly to his muscular body as he leaned his head down to press another kiss against her lips. This one was even more passionate than the first one had been, Elena finding herself capable of doing nothing but submitting herself to the insistent press of his lips while his hands seemed to waste no time in exploring her body. She let out a gentle squeal into their kiss as she felt his sizable hands grope her firm ass, giving her fleshy cheeks playful squeezes that only served to turn her on even more.
“Lose your clothes,” he growled huskily, the arousal in his voice causing Elena to whimper gently to herself. It had been so long since a man had looked at her the way he was looking at her now, and she found it refreshing that Gerard was willing to take the lead. Jeremy had never been the kind to initiate anything, instead preferring to leave it to Elena. Gerard, it seemed, would be nothing like that. I don’t think I would have it any other way, either.
It didn’t take long for her to do as he had asked, stripping out of the dress that she had worn and draping it over the back of one of her kitchen chairs, leaving her standing in nothing but the dark blue bra and panties that she had worn. Soon those were removed as well, leaving her with nothing to prevent Gerard’s hungry eyes from looking over every inch of her now nude body. She knew she should have felt a little shyer about allowing him to see her like this, but the only thoughts going through her mind were about what he thought of what he was looking at. Judging by the bulge that had appeared in the front of his pants, she assumed he liked it, which helped to spur her on.
“I stripped, Gerard. Now it is time for you to do the same. Those clothes of yours will only be a hindrance for what I have in mind,” she said cheekily, her hand moving down to start undoing the clasp on his belt.
Once his pants and boxers were out of the way, Elena didn’t even take the time to admire his large cock. She moved over to the couch and bent over slightly, shaking her ass enticingly for him in order to encourage him to stop making her wait for what she wanted. The feeling of his hands moving to grip her waist while the thick mushroom shaped head of his cock rubbed over her soaked pussy was enough to elicit a lustful moan from between her lips that turned into a gasp at the end as he unceremoniously drove every inch of his thick member inside of her. Her lips formed into a full O-shape as he wasted no time in ramming his hips back and forth, his heavy balls smacking lewdly against her each time that he bottomed out inside of her.
She couldn’t bring herself to do much more than moan each time he drove his cock inside of her, his balls dragging across her clit in such a way that it sent little lightning bolts of pleasure coursing through her body with every thrust. Her breasts swung wit
h every impact, at least until Gerard’s hands moved from where they had been firmly holding onto her hips and instead began to grope at her large breasts and rock-hard nipples. She could already feel herself beginning to be pushed towards the edge, the constant friction of his shaft as it rubbed over her horny inner walls only serving to help increase her pleasure. She had to bite down on one of the pillows from the couch to keep herself from screaming when she finally came, her pussy clenching down tightly on Gerard’s cock like a vice as she creamed all over his length.
That seemed to set him off, and Elena’s eyes widened when she felt the first jet of his hot seed beginning to spray inside of her. She had been so caught up in how quickly things had transpired that she had completely forgotten about making him wear a condom. It was too late now, though. Even if she had wanted to pull away, her body was moving seemingly of its own accord. She could feel herself pushing insistently back against him, keeping him buried as deeply inside of her as she could manage as the rest of his cum dribbled out into her. It was only once he was spent that she felt her legs give out, Gerard moving quickly to catch her before she hit the ground.
“I think I will be spending the night tonight,” he said softly.
All Elena could do was smile.
Chapter Nine: Gerard
When Gerard woke up the next day, he found that he was running just a little late for work. It wasn’t like it mattered too much; one of the perks of being the CEO meant that he could pretty much stroll in whenever he felt like it, but it was still not something that he enjoyed doing. He used Elena’s shower, making sure that he was quiet enough that he didn’t wake her up as she lay peacefully on the other side of her bed. They had woken up a few times throughout the night to satiate the rest of their lustful desires, so he had no doubts that he had managed to exhaust the poor blonde. It would be better for everyone if he just let her sleep for a while longer.
As he felt the warm spray of the shower flow over his naked body, he considered what his next move should be. He had already told her that he wanted to date her, so there was no use trying to play it off now. The only thing backtracking would succeed in doing would be to get them back on bad terms, which would have defeated the whole point of having asked her out to begin with. This is something that I’ve wanted for a long time now, so I should just thank my lucky stars and accept it. Elena isn’t the worst woman that I could have ended up with, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a great time with her last night. With or without the sex, I can see myself wanting to spend more time with her.
He turned his head slightly when he heard the door to the shower slide open to reveal a sleepy looking Elena. Her blonde hair, which she usually kept neatly brushed, was disheveled from slumber. Gerard felt a shudder of affection at the sight, turning his back toward the spray of water so that he could turn to face her. “Good morning, beautiful.”
She giggled gently at that, offering him a gentle smile as she stepped into the shower with him and slid the door shut. “Good morning to you too,” she said sweetly, leaning up on her tiptoes so that she could press a kiss against his lips gently. “I see that you are running a bit late this morning.”
“Happens to the best of us,” he said, shrugging gently as he moved out of the way of the spray of water, allowing some of it to course down onto Elena’s skin. He swallowed hard as he watched her supple skin begin to glisten with water, feeling some of his blood begin to flood between his legs.
“Here I thought that Gerard Donahue could do no wrong, but it turns out he’s a mortal just like everyone else,” she said teasingly, closing her eyes as she allowed the water to flow over her hair, wetting it down so that she could wash it with the shampoo sitting on the shelf beside her.
“I never claimed to be anything more than human. I can’t help it that people make you out to be bigger than you are when you are as successful as I have been,” he said dismissively, helping to wash down her body as she washed her hair. He was grateful for the distraction, though the desire to have his way with her again wasn’t going away no matter what he did. Had he not been on such a time crunch to get to work he might have done it, but he needed to get going soon. She would always be here for another round when he got off work later.
“So, how are we going to go on our mini-vacation when you have to work?” she asked finally, having just finished rinsing the rest of the shampoo she had used out of her hair.
“I am going to tell them that I plan to leave the country for a few days to consider a prospective business contract if anyone asks. Nobody usually questions me about where I go, but just in case they do I have a backup plan,” he said, turning off the water and sliding open the door to the shower.
They dried themselves off and walked out to the living room where Gerard’s clothes were waiting for him. Elena didn’t even bother getting dressed as she watched him, and once he was fully dressed she moved up to him to wrap her arms around the back of his neck gently, kissing his cheek. “Have a good day at work, Gerard,” she said sweetly, her hands moving to straighten his tie.
“I will try to,” he said with a smile, pulling his phone from his pocket and quickly dialing the number for Simon and telling him to come pick him up at Elena’s house. He was glad that his driver didn’t ask any questions, instead assuring him that he would be there within twenty minutes. Then he placed a call to the office telling them that he was running a little late and would be there as soon as he could.
“It must be hard to be as powerful as you are,” she said with a teasing look, walking naked over to where her coffee maker sat and flipping it on. “So many people have to answer to you. Doesn’t it get tiring having to lead them all?”
“No one ever said the life of a leader would be easy. You just have to take things as they come one day at a time and not allow yourself to get overwhelmed by things,” he said dismissively, pulling a small toothbrush from the inner pocket of his suit and using it to quickly brush his teeth. “Besides, when you work with the kinds of skilled people that I have in my company, you very rarely have to worry about things once you assign tasks out. My employees pride themselves on getting their work done efficiently and correctly, which saves me a lot of headache at the end of the day.”
A text message suddenly blipped on his phone, letting him know that Simon had just arrived. He gave Elena a gentle hug, promising her that he would see her again once he got off work. Before he left, he paused by the door so he could speak. “Why don’t you take care of planning out a trip for us? I’ll cover the costs, but book us a flight and whatever ahead of time. You can just text me the details once everything is said and done.”
“Will do!” Elena exclaimed excitedly, waving goodbye to him as he closed the door, the sound of the lock clicking into place a few seconds later letting him know that she was now secure within her home.
“Did you have an enjoyable evening, sir?” Simon asked in a knowing way as he held the door open for Gerard, a small smile playing at the corner of the Englishman’s lips.
“I certainly did, Simon,” Gerard replied, choosing not to pay too much attention to the obvious amusement that his driver was showing. “Thank you for asking.”
He stayed silent for the majority of the ride, choosing instead to focus on the things that he would need to do today. There was a board meeting in a few hours that he was expected to go to, not to mention the fact that their recent merger with another large company meant that there were still documents that needed to be signed. He shook his head in wonder at just how complicated these sorts of things could get, but he knew that he would be able to deal with it. He prided himself on his ability to work under pressure; it was one of the things that made him such a good secret agent.
The fact that Charlie had not yet tried to even contact him was also slightly strange to him. Charlie was a man of his word, so when he had said they could take the week off Gerard knew he had meant it, but he didn’t think that Charlie would evoke a radio silence for that entir
e time as well. Maybe he didn’t want them to think that he was trying to pull them away from their vacation ahead of time. Maybe the older man had decided to take a step back from missions for a week himself. It had to be hard to oversee an organization like his, after all.
When the limousine came to a stop in front of his office, he pushed the door open himself and climbed out, shielding his eyes from the harsh light of the mid-afternoon sunshine. Simon handed him his briefcase, which had been stashed in the trunk, and then Gerard made his way inside of the building. He was immediately met by one of the members of the board, a walrus-looking man named Oswald, who greeted him upon entrance. “Gerard, old boy. How are you?”
“I’m just fine, Oswald. Running a little late this morning, unfortunately, but I’m here now,” Gerard said apologetically, walking with Oswald toward one of the elevators.
“What kept you?” Oswald asked, pressing the button that would take them up to the floor where the meeting would take place.
“I decided to spend my night in the company of a woman, and I ended up sleeping in just a little later than I had intended to,” Gerard replied coyly, the memories of the night before causing him to smirk gently. “My new girlfriend was quite loathe for me to leave.”
“You’re finally dating someone? Good show! I was beginning to worry about you,” Oswald said, his belly jiggling slightly as he laughed.
Gerard smiled at that, glancing at his watch to check the time. There was still a while until their board meeting, but it would allow him some time to go over the proceedings with some of his assistants ahead of time. Let’s hope that today goes by quickly.
