Just as Neil and Violet were finishing up with docking the yacht or the “Seahorse” as she was named, a man came up the dock calling out to Neil. “Neil—what the hell is going on with you? Mr. Travis called earlier to say he is coming down here this evening, he wanted to make sure that you had done the repairs on his yacht. I have been looking all over the Marina for you, just to discover you and Mr. Travis' yacht are both missing” replied Ted Green the marina owner. Neil quickly looks towards Violet, she is shocked at what she hears coming from Ted Green. She thinks in horror—my god I was out in a stolen yacht—Neil lied to me, I feel so betrayed, he is not who he says he is—who is this man she has just spent the day with getting very intimate with on someone else's yacht. Violet grabs her bags and rushes away, with tears streaming down her face, caused from both anger and humiliation. She rushes past Ted Green heading towards her car with Neil quickly at her heels. “What is going on here Neil—you have some explaining to do” grumbles Ted Green. “Ted can you give me a minute, I will meet you back in the office and I will explain everything—okay—just let me go and talk to my lady friend first” replied Neil as he rushed past Ted. Neil made his way towards Violet, begging her forgiveness, stating that there had been a terrible miss communication.
Violet threw her bags in her car, and turned to face Neil. “Yes Neil I think there was—being the fact that you lied to me about that yacht being yours—and you stole it! I can't believe I actually thought you were a really nice man, so much so that I gave myself to you, only to find out this! I feel so hurt and humiliated right now” said Violet as she wiped her tears away. “I am so sorry Violet, I should have been honest with you, I am an idiot, the truth is I am a boat mechanic here at the marina. I was desperate to attract you to me, so I made up that I was a marine biologist. The yacht I was planning to purchase from Mr. Travis, he had told me I could take it out today for a test drive after I replaced the fuel filter in it for him. So I guess I jumped the gun in telling you it was my boat. Mr. Travis must have forgot that I was taking the boat out today. Look I am so sorry for all I have put you through today—I was going to tell you the truth, but we got into doing more fun things than me doing a confession. I am sorry I have caused you this grief” replied Neil. “I suppose you don't have a Lexus in the shop either?” asked Violet. “No actually that rusty pickup truck over there is my vehicle” answered Neil. At that moment Violet put her car into drive, and drove away leaving Neil standing looking at her as she departed. She decided that Neil was not a guy that was going to work out, she couldn't have a relationship with someone that she couldn't trust.
Chapter 8. Reunited On a Boathouse
The past two months Violet had not bothered to look for a date on “Golden Dates”, she had decided to take a break. She used this time to get things sorted out in both company branches so that she would no longer be there, she stepped down, leaving the companies to be run by others that were well equipped to handle it. She still had the majority of shares in her design company, only going to the odd meetings if she cared to, but other than that she was living more or less as a retired woman in her golden years and making the best of her life. She was enjoying getting to spend time with her children and their families, she felt blessed that she was able to rebuild a connection with her two children. All was going well in Violet's life, she felt good about herself, but she still had that little ache deep within her that was hoping to find someone to share her golden years with. She sat looking out her bay window sipping on some yummy blueberry herbal tea, thinking about the different men that had recently came and gone from her life. The one she had gained the most affection for was the Scotsman, Gavin, that had made her laugh at life in a way no one else could. Suddenly her phone was ringing, she answered to find that it was none other than Gavin. He had recently moved into his houseboat and was inviting her for dinner on Saturday, if she was free. She told Gavin that she was just thinking about him, when he called. He hoped it was good thoughts and she confirmed that they were. They made arrangements that Violet would join Gavin at his houseboat for dinner on Saturday night. He was also having his brother and Anne there as well, it was a bit of a houseboat warming dinner.
Anne called a few hours later to see if Violet wanted to be picked up by her and Dan on Saturday. She agreed that she would love to go with them. So, they agreed that she would be picked up by them at around six-thirty on Saturday. Violet got up and went to shower and get dressed, she was off to do a bit of shopping for a houseboat warming gift and a new outfit for herself for the occasion. She felt happy and thrilled to be seeing Gavin again, she felt that this was a man that she could see herself sharing her golden years with and beyond. She just hoped that he felt the same way! Violet wondered what on earth to get for Gavin for a houseboat warming gift, as she grabbed her car keys and purse and she rushed out the door for a fun day of shopping. Violet found herself wandering into this little shop that sold all kinds of cute items for the house and garden, like lovely stain-glass wind-chimes, and colorful candles, blankets, and then she saw the perfect gift sitting on a chair—it was a pillow that was shaped like a set of lips. This was too funny to pass up, she would get the lip pillow along with a nice wind chime that would look nice on his deck. She had picked up a nice lime green sundress for herself that she could wear with her comfy Birkenstock sandals. She also got a nice silver necklace with matching earrings that had lovely purple stones on the jewellery set. Violet had worked up an appetite doing all this shopping, so she headed home to make herself some dinner.
Dan gave a honk of his horn to let Violet know that he and Anne were waiting for her outside. It was Saturday and they were off to Gavin's houseboat for dinner. Anne straightened her purple stone necklace at the mirror at her front door, and grabbed the gift bag and her purse as she hurried out the door. She jumped into the back of Dan's grey SUV, giving thanks and greetings to Dan and Anne. “I will say that I am so glad you are coming with us to Gavin's tonight because it would put me off my dinner if I had to look at his disappointed face if you did not accept his invite” chuckled Dan. “Somehow Dan I find it hard to believe anything could cause you to lose your appetite” replied Anne with a laugh. “But I do have to agree he would have been very disappointed if Violet was not coming this evening, he has been singing your praises since the day he met you Violet. You certainly made quite the impression on him” replied Anne looking back in the seat at Violet with a smile. Well I am so happy to be coming with you both tonight, I have missed Gavin's company. I had such fun with him when he was here, I am so thrilled that he is here to stay. I can't wait to see his houseboat, now that it has his own touch and decoration in it” replied Violet. “Yeah in the decorating department he might be asking you for some help in that area, not his cup of tea I am afraid” replied Dan. “Wait to you see what I got him as a houseboat warming present—you will certainly get a good laugh when you see it” said Violet with a smile.
They had a wonderful dinner of barbecue chicken and ribs that Gavin prepared on his barbecue out on his deck, which was accompanied with a lovely spring salad and red wine. After dinner they gave Gavin his houseboat warming gifts—the best part was when Gavin pulled out the pillow that looked like a set of red lips—they all had a great laugh. Gavin had stated that he would have made an offer on the previous owner's “lips couch” if he had only known that Violet was bringing him the matching pillow. That is just a gag gift—I got that for a good laugh—here is your real present” said Violet softly as she handed him the bag with the lovely stained glass wind chime. He thought it was beautiful and he walked over to Violet and asked her if she would help him find the right spot to hang on the deck. The two of them walked out onto the deck, Gavin telling Anne and Dan that they would be right back. He walked out and when they got out of view of the others he grabbed Violet and drew her close to him and gave her a passionate tender kiss. “I have been dying to do that all night, I have missed you so much Violet, thanks for coming” replied Gavin softly to
Violet. “I have missed you too Gavin, I was so thrilled to get your invite” replied Violet softly. “I want to spend a lot more time with you Violet, I hope that you will allow me to be a part of your life for a very long time, I ache for you” Gavin said softly into her ear. “I am not going anywhere, I would like to spend more time with you too, but first let us get this wind chime hung up—the others will be wondering what has happened to us!” They found a spot to hang the chime right at the right hand front corner of the deck, it looked perfect. Just as they were ready to head back in to join the others, Gavin grabbed Violet towards him whispering in her ear that he wanted her to spend the night with him. That he was dying to make sweet passionate love to her. He has thought of nothing else over the last two months that they have been separated. He was hungry for the taste and feel of her. Violet gave Gavin a sexy seductive looking grin, then she softly whispered in his ear “I will stay but only if I get to use your lip pillow” they hugged each other, then walked in to join the others laughing and holding each other as they did so. Violet had a good warm feeling that this Scotsman was going to be her golden years companion, that would share many happy years with her to come!
After Anne and Dan said their good byes, Gavin shut the door behind him. Looking over at Violet sitting on his couch he couldn't believe that this beautiful creature before him would be making passionate love to him this evening. He walked towards Violet stating he has been dying to be alone with her all evening. He leaned over Violet and began to kiss her gently. He then held her hand and helped her up, he began to lead her to his bedroom, then suddenly she said “wait a minute I forgot something.” Violet hurried over to where the lip pillow was and picked it up and hurried over to Gavin. “I almost forget the lip pillow” she laughed. Gavin lifted her up in his arms while she held the pillow in her hands, marching her into the bedroom, he gently placed her on the bed. He carefully took the lip pillow from her hands and he removed her dress, and his own clothes. He then began to kiss her body starting with her neck and working his way down between her legs. He spread her legs gently apart and he began to lick her, the taste of her made him become more sexually aroused, than he had been for a long time. He moved up and began kissing her deeply in the mouth. He gently thrust his manhood inside her hot moist spot between her legs, as she groaned and moaned with pleasure. They used some Tantric moves during their night filled with passion and sex. It was wonderful they had found each other and made each other have wonderful orgasms, like never before. Neither of them had ever experienced this degree of ultimate pleasure. Violet realized that she had not only found herself a companion, but a lover and soulmate all wrapped into one handsome Scotsman!
The End
The CEO’s Assistant
A Lesbian Romance
By: Laurie Ames
Prelude
Sylvia was about to graduate with a degree in fashion. She had gotten good grades and had impeccable skills when it came to sewing and design. But graduation means finding a job and moving into the adult world - a world without any clear instruction of the kind you are given in the school system. She began applying for jobs and trying to seek out the best fit for her skills and predilections. She had been working part time as a personal assistant, and eagerly put this experience on her resume. She was worried about having so little content on her resume, but she was very confident in her abilities.
As she searched through job listing after job listing, she finally found one that looked perfect, but it was for an assistant position to the owner of a company that would include a lot of managerial tasks and responsibilities. She was worried that her experience was lacking and that her youth might put her out of the running for a position like this, but she submitted her application and sure enough, two weeks later she got a call back to set up an interview.
Chapter 1
“So, I see that you don’t have any real work experience in the field other than your schooling. Is that correct?” Natasha asked Sylvia this question as she watched Sylvia sit, vaguely fidgeting in her chair. She looked slightly edgy as people often do during job interviews, but Natasha had to commend her because she was hiding it well. If Natasha hadn’t already done this with about thirty other applicants, she would not have noticed Sylvia’s nervousness.
The applicant was thin, sat up straight, and had a surprisingly tall frame. With mousy brown hair and little freckles across her nose, she looked slightly sweet, and that drew Natasha to her. She wanted someone who would be sympathetic and caring towards the other employees since the position was one where Sylvia would be overseeing other employees.
“Yes, that is correct, but while I was in school, we did a lot of hands-on work and were required to do a small unpaid internship, so I did some work with the professors. Also, while I was in school, I had a job for a while working as a personal assistant for a woman that owned a small-town boutique. It was a very cute little boutique, but I feel I learned a lot about time management, multi-tasking, and working well both alone or on a team. I think that job combined with my experience in school would make me a really great fit for this job since I have both the personal assistant side down and the fashion training.”
She felt like she was rambling, and of course she was, but isn’t that what you’re supposed to do in job interviews? Interviews always made her uncomfortable and this was her third one this week. The other two had been alright, but she was not excited about the jobs or the people she was interviewed by, it just didn’t feel right. But when she had found the ad for this job, she stopped everything she was doing so that she could immediately apply. It felt like this job would be perfect, so she had been a good deal more nervous about this interview than the others. She now thought of the other interviews as practice for getting ready for this one, which felt much more important to her.
It didn’t help her nerves that Natasha was extremely cool and somewhat bewitching, which happened to make her heart skip a little. She felt almost intimidated by Natasha. She was dressed impeccably, sleek and stylish, and she was extremely attractive. She held herself with an air of self-respect and confidence.
She was the owner and CEO of the successful fashion design company that was considering Sylvia, and had been looking for someone to help manage the company as her assistant. The business had been growing and she felt that it would be necessary to hire someone to manage the employees and help out with the promotion and launching of the upcoming summer clothing line. She wanted someone who would work well with others and who had a style that went well with that of the company. It felt like there was something good about this one.
Natasha picked up Sylvia’s portfolio and began fingering through it as they sat across the desk from each other. The girl had talent. There was something that she liked about Sylvia’s individual style. She had yet to put her finger on it, but she knew it would work well with what she had in mind for the new summer clothing line, that being one of the main reasons why she was hiring an assistant. It was important to have someone whose style went with the overall feel of the line that she had created.
“You know,” Natasha said, after a moment of silence that was long enough to make Sylvia begin to sweat, cross and uncross her legs “I like your work. I like your style… a lot! I think that it would work well with what I have in mind.”
She went on to talk in more detail about the job description and what Sylvia would be doing on a day to day basis, if hired. Natasha ended - after much nodding and agreement from Sylvia - by asking what Sylvia thought of all this, if she thought it would be a good fit.
“Yes, that’s pretty much what I expected, but it was good to hear you go through that list,” Sylvia said, “I definitely feel that this position would be a good fit for me and I am prepared for everything that you talked about. I am willing to devote a lot of time and energy to this job. It feels really important to me.” Sylvia took a deep breath, waiting to hear Natasha’s answer. She liked that this was a senior position since she was planning on making a n
ame for herself in the industry.
“That’s good!” Natasha exclaimed, smiling as she glanced back down at Sylvia’s portfolio and resume, “I have your email and phone number here. How about I give you a call later on this week? Honestly, out of all the people I’ve interviewed, I have to say you are my favorite so far. I think it’s most likely going to be you. However, I still have a few more interviews lined up for this week, so I’m going to meet those people and get back to you, but I can tell you now; I would love to work with you.”
