“Come on. You pull a grand romantic gesture and then walk into your girlfriend being bothered by her ex whose ass you kick…” she started before he put his index finger up.
“I did not kick his ass. I just made sure he was immobilized.”
“Looks like immobilized is the word of the day,” she said looking at him.
“Look outside, Hayes. It’s a brand new day,” he smiled as he looked at her.
“So moving on, you immobilize the ex and then less than 24 hours later you decide that we have to leave six days early?” she asked. He looked at her and shrugged before he leaned in and held a side of her face. He kissed her softly and then pulled away.
“You are mine, Erica. All mine,” he said in a soft voice. She didn’t know why but she suddenly wanted him. Her heart was racing in her chest. “Say it,” he said.
“Say what?” she asked looking into his eyes.
“Admit that you are mine. All mine and no one else’s,” he said as he looked at her.
“I’m yours, Daniel,” she said in a soft voice. He looked at her and then climbed off the bed. She watched him as he walked to one of his bags and pulled out a maroon tie and another dark blue one. She could feel herself getting more excited as he walked back to the bed.
“Remember the man who made love to you last night?” he asked and she nodded. “He just came back,” he said as he got on top of her, his knees on either side of her body. She got back in bed, lying down looking up at him.
“Hands,” he said in a soft voice. She raised her hands over her head and he tied one of her wrists in the tie before he fastened it to one corner of the bed. She sighed in pleasure as he secured her other hand to the other bedpost. It was at this moment she cursed the fact that he brought her to bed without putting a t-shirt on her or something. He held each breast in his hand and smiled.
She sighed as he kneaded her breasts gently. It was the most perfect feeling she knew. Her nipples were pressing hard against the palms of his hands and he was loving it. She knew he was because she could feel his cock slowly graduating from being limp, to a semi-hard on to a fully functional full blown erection. She looked at him and he moved lower on the bed, releasing her breasts. He held each ankle and pulled her down on the bed making her gasp. He looked at her and slowly brought his hands up, running his fingers up her thighs. She looked at him and bit her lower lip. She had never been in a bondage situation before but she had also never been so scared yet so turned on at the same time. She looked at him as he spread her legs. He looked at her already moist pussy and felt himself getting more excited. He didn’t want to get ahead of himself. Something was telling him to just forego everything and get inside her. He began lowering himself to her center and suddenly the familiar music of a Skype call interrupted the peace of the moment.
“Ignore it,” she said in a whisper.
“It might be important,” he said.
“It’s probably Emily. I’ll call her back,” she said. He raised his head and that’s when he saw that her iPad was still dark screened on the nightstand. She rolled her head to the side and saw that her tablet was lying quietly on the stand. “It’s you. Probably the office,” she said.
“I can call…” he started but she crossed her legs.
“Handle it,” she said. “Besides, it’s not like I’m going anywhere,” she added. Daniel was already having a hard time, literally, keeping a straight face with his raging hard on. He could feel every fiber of his being screaming at him to stay as he climbed off the bed. He grabbed a bathrobe from the bathroom and put it on before he walked into the living room where he had dropped his bag the previous night. He pulled the iPad from the bag and sure enough, it was his office calling.
Chapter 7
“Lena,” he said when he answered the call. “It’s almost seven in the morning here. It must be really late to still be in the office,” he said as he looked at the environment around Lena. He knew it all too well. It was the board room.
“Mr. Reese, hi. We didn’t want to disturb you this morning… or last night for you,” Lena explained.
“Very considerate of you,” Daniel smiled.
“I’m here with Malone Ericsson from R&D and I have also conferenced in Elena Gordon,” Lena started. Daniel raised an eyebrow. He had no idea who Elena Gordon was.
“Elena who?” he asked. He noticed a smile on Lena’s lips.
“The new CFO,” Lena said. Daniel rubbed his temple.
“Oh. I’m so sorry Mrs. Gordon…” he started.
“Miss. I’m sorry to cut you off,” Elena said.
“It’s okay, Miss Gordon,” Daniel said.
“And your lawyer is also here, Mr. Reese,” Lena said.
“Dude, you owe me for being here this late,” Daniel’s lawyer said.
“I’m in a bathrobe. So consider your debt paid. So guys, you did not stay in this late for nothing. What do you have for me?” Daniel asked.
“I looked up the last designs for the coffee makers and like we had suggested earlier, the designs were indeed plagiarized, for lack of a better word. “
“What?” Daniel asked.
“It looks like the designs were approved by Jerry, the former head of the R&D’s design department. But anyone with an internet connection and access to Google could find out that the design was originally our competitor’s,” Malone explained.
“How did this pass? I mean, I thought the main point of having a design team is to make sure that we maintain originality,” Daniel said.
“Well, yes. But we think that Jerry was in cahoots with your uncle because he went AWOL when your uncle was fired,” Lena said. Daniel rubbed his temples again. How did everything get so screwed up?
“Why the hell would my uncle do that if he was hell bent on taking over? What good would that have done him?” Daniel asked.
“With your company having gone public, a media frenzy would have driven your stock to the ground and he would have been seen as the savior who would take QKM to new heights. We have proof that he had already gone after a number of shareholders trying to get them to vote in his favor,” Elena said.
“Vote?” Daniel asked in confusion.
“An impeachment vote,” Elena said.
“That son of a …” he sighed. “So, that having been settled, what are we doing about La Nacion de café?” he asked.
“I sent you a JPEG of the new design. Everything has been remodeled from the ground up and the only people who know about it are the people in this room. And you. With the go ahead, we can have this at the factory by six in the morning and the new batch should be ready by the end of the week,” Malone said.
“So, we can still meet the deadline?” Daniel asked.
“We can do more than meet the deadline. We can even have a sample model for public relations purposes,” Elena said. Daniel was already on his email trying to figure everything out. He opened Malone’s email and looked at the new models. As he looked at the home version. He could not help but feel that it was a bit too fancy. “I know, fancy,” Elena said with a smile.
“Yeah,” Daniel said nodding.
“Well, we are thinking of calling it the gourmet collection. Make every housewife who is making a pot of coffee feel like she is making the world’s most expensive latte,” Elena said with a smile.
“And all that at no extra cost,” Malone said.
“And we are guaranteed no other brand has this kind of coffee maker?” Daniel asked.
“Not presently,” Elena said.
Daniel shrugged and nodded. He looked at the other model and shrugged.
“They both look pretty good to me. Let’s run with them.”
“Great Mr. Reese. I also sent you the documents to sign so that we can have the green light,” Lena said.
“I can do a virtual signature, right?” Daniel asked as he downloaded the documents from his email.
“It’s good enough,” he heard the lawyer say as he read through the document. He quickly sig
ned the document and sent it back to Lena.
“Okay people. Let’s do this. Lena, send the designs to Ramon Suarez and get the details about the launch,” Daniel said.
“Done and done,” Lena said.
“Well, everyone, this has been enlightening. And you have proven that you all deserve a raise. Maybe I’ll have a meeting with Proctor and Spencer from accounts and make it happen,” Daniel said with a smile.
“That would be great Mr. Reese,” Elena said.
“Now I have to go and get me some breakfast,” Daniel said hanging up. He put his tablet aside and sighed. But it was a happy sigh, a contented sigh. He then got on his feet and began walking back to the bedroom. A smile played on his lips when he saw Erica lying on the bed spread eagle. “Missed me?” he asked as he untied the robe and let it slip off his shoulders. He let the robe drop to the ground as he climbed on the bed. His cock was now limp in between his legs. But as soon as he caressed one of her thighs, she arched her back and her bosom thrust upwards, his cock sprung back into action. He was already getting hard and he hadn’t even done much yet. She looked at him and he lowered his hand to her core. Her wetness was all gone but he was going to fix that.
He lowered his head and began kissing her soft, sensitive inside thigh. The feeling of his hot tongue against her cool skin was all she needed to get herself back in action. For the past fifteen minutes, she had been tugging, making the ties around her wrists tighter and tighter. She waited to feel his tongue on her pussy but when he got to the base of her opening, he breathed his hot air on her pussy and she gasped silently before he went on to kiss the other thigh. She was moaning and gasping as she felt him running his tongue down the other thigh. She moaned and felt him working his way up her body, planting kisses on her navel as he worked his way up. She arched her back again, thrusting her breasts into his face but he was holding back…again. She looked at him and he had a sly smile on his face.
“No. You have to earn that,” he said with a smile. And just like that, she knew what was coming to her. He had both his hands on either hip. “Tell me what you want,” he said in a soft voice.
“I want you to take me. To claim me,” she said in a whisper as she looked up at him and suddenly, without warning, he spanked one of her ass cheeks. She inadvertently raised her knees and he spanked her again.
“Say it again,” he said as he looked at her.
“I want you…to claim me…” she said as he spanked her other ass cheek, over and over. She was gasping with every blow he gave her and even though it was the best kind of painful pleasure she had ever had, he was worried she was hurting. And he was hard…so hard. He moved lower on the bed and slipped his hands under her knees raising them up. She looked at him and gasped when he buried his head in between her legs and plunged his tongue deep inside her. He was sucking on her clit and licking her out. She was no longer dry. She was now getting wetter and wetter and he was feeling like he might just explode. She wanted to cum so much and the way he was licking her out was only making this harder for her. She shrieked and cried out as he worked her pussy. He knew what she was fighting. He pulled back and pulled himself up to kiss her mouth. She could taste herself on his lips and she loved the taste. He looked at her and she was shaking underneath him. He brought his head down and finally took one nipple inside his mouth making her exhale loudly. His tongue was rolling around her hard nipple so fast that she just wanted to scream. And her other nipple was getting equal attention from his flicking fingertips. She sighed, gasped and moaned all this time wondering when he would end her torment. When he pulled away from her, he looked down at her glistening nipple and then reached for the top drawer. She was squirming on the bed as he tore open the film covering and then rolled on the condom.
“One of these days I will get inside you, fuck you raw and cum inside you,” he said as he pushed his cock into her. “I want all of you,” he said as he began moving in and out of her, slowly. She stifled a moan but he couldn’t have it. “No baby. I want to hear you. Let it out,” he said as he moved in and out of her. She was moaning and whimpering as he went into her over and over. She suddenly wanted everything he was asking for. Everything he wanted to give her, she wanted to take.
“I want you,” she said in a soft voice. He thrust into her, hard.
“I’m here baby,” he said as he thrust into her again.
“No, I want you. Take it off,” she said. He raised his head and looked down at her. “It’s okay,” she said as she looked at him. She felt his cock slipping out of her. He looked at her and pulled the condom off his cock before he buried herself inside her again. She moaned and sighed loudly as she felt his length probing into her raw depths…
Chapter 8
When Erica’s sleep finally escaped her, she rolled out of bed and walked to the living room area of their suite. She turned on her laptop and clicked on a new word document. She had no idea what she was supposed to write. She had a million and one thoughts going through her mind and she wanted to put them all down.
“I need something to get my juices flowing,” she thought as she walked to the minibar. A part of her wanted coffee but the other was screaming for gin. She pulled a bottle from the bar and grabbed a glass from the counter. She stole a peek at the bedroom where Daniel was still sleeping soundly before she made her way to the living room. “Now I just have to decide on what to say.” She took a sip and cringed as she felt the liquid burning its way down her throat. She was looking at a blank page while she drummed her fingers on the laptop.
Over the last few weeks, I have broken every code and rule I have ever set for myself. I have zip-lined through forests, climbed mountains (more like big hills) and at some point gone commando on a beach. All this is probably normal to most of you but for a person who has never even been camping, all this was a big deal. But everything worked out…
I started out in Acapulco where sun and sand romanced the city out of me…
She stared at the last sentence and a smile played on her lips. Acapulco romanced so much more than the city out of her. She was about to type again when the Skype call on her computer suddenly interrupted the serenity of the suite. She quickly mute the speakers and looked around for her headphones.
“Damn it,” she thought when she couldn’t find them. She carried the laptop and walked to the balcony. “Hey…guys,” she said in a whisper when she finally sat down. She looked at Emily and Cassandra’s excited faces and smiled. “You guys realize that it is almost midnight in Athens, right?” she asked as she looked at them.
“We miss you and Skyping you at night is kind of the only time we have,” Cassandra shrugged.
“Yeah, especially since the entirety of your time is mostly spent naked with Daniel,” Emily said. Erica felt her cheeks flush. She silently thanked her stars that they were talking at night and not during the day or in a well lit room. But what she didn’t know was that the night lights around the hotel were enough to illuminate her face. “And there it is,” Emily said.
“There is what? What the hell are you talking about?” Erica asked.
“You are blushing,” Emily said with a smile.
“No, I’m not.” Erica was now pushing her hair from her face, the way she usually did when she blushed.
“Oh yes you are,” Cassandra said. “But I don’t really think we want to hear about that. At least I don’t,” she said quickly. She looked at Emily and shrugged. “Right?” she asked.
Emily nodded. “Right. I just wanted to know how you guys are doing.”
“And also, have you heard from your stupid ex? After all, he did say something about coming to find you,” Cassandra said.
“Yeah, but that’s a little silly, right?” Emily started.
Erica raised an eyebrow and shrugged. “What is?”
“The fact that he would travel all the way to Greece just to find you. I mean, it’s not like you can just get off the plane and start asking random people if they know the woman in the photo or so
mething. He is not Interpol,” Emily explained.
Erica smiled and nodded.
“Well, guess what?” she started. Cassandra and Emily pressed their faces together. Erica appreciated the wide angle camera at that moment.
“Well, don’t keep us waiting,” Cassandra pressed.
“Eli did actually come all the way to Greece,” Erica said.
“What?” Erica and Cassandra said in unison.
“I know, right?” Erica was shaking her head.
“So, he came all the way to Athens? Where was he expected to start looking? I mean…” Emily was just confused. She looked at her sister and Emily shrugged.
“I really don’t know what was on his mind but he did it. And as luck would have it, he ran into me at the airport,” Erica said.
“Seriously, what is with this guy and airports? It’s like some kind of…I don’t want to say luck,” Cassandra said. “Didn’t he conveniently run into you at the airport too?” she asked as she looked at Emily.
“Yeah he did. What the hell were you doing at the airport anyway? I mean, you’re still in Greece, right?” Emily asked.
“Daniel had some kind of work crisis. He was supposed to go down to Seattle…Eli was at the airport. I think he had just arrived or something, that’s not important,” Erica said shaking her head.
“So, he found you? That motherfucker!” Cassandra exclaimed. “And here I was thinking that he wouldn’t be that twisted to actually leave for a city in a foreign country with a population of seven hundred and eighty nine thousand, one hundred and sixty six,” she added. There was a smile on Erica’s lips.
“Did you just Google that?” she asked.
“Yeah, and that is according to a 2001 census,” Cassandra confirmed. Erica let out a laugh.
“Enough with the census, what happened? With Eli, I mean? What did he want?” Emily cut in.
“Long version or short version?” Erica asked.
“Okay, let’s make it short version because I am dying to hear about everything?” Cassandra said.
