I shake my head, slowly. I know this is going to blow up in my face, but I’m pulling rank on this one.
“I want her as my project manager, Leon,” I say. “We need her knowledge.”
Leon blinks at me. It’s the silence before the storm.
“I knew it,” he says and jumps up again. There it is. “I knew you were going to fuck me like this.”
I close my eyes, biting back my temper. I can’t lose it and blame Leon for his outbursts.
“Language, Leon,” I say. “And this isn’t personal. It’s business. You of all people should know that.”
Leon’s temper turns into rage. He stomps his legs when he marches around the table toward me. I hold my ground and look up at him when he comes closer, my expression blank. He’s about to push me past my limit, especially when he points a finger in my face.
“You don’t know what’s good for this company,” he shouts.
“Leon,” I start, but his temper has taken over. His eyes go a little crazed, and I wonder if it’ss wise to keep him on when he’s acting like this. Leon grabs the closest chair and throws it. It bounces away awkwardly – it’s a standard office chair with a padded seat and metal frame – and hits the wall. Lucky for Leon, it doesn’t damage anything.
Leon storms past me and out of the meeting room. I’m left behind with the taste of anger still on my tongue.
I sigh and scrub my face with my hands. Insubordination like this is wrong. If he does it in front of any of my employees, I’ll have to let him go. So far, it’s only happened in front of me, and I feel sorry for the guy. I probably shouldn’t – we all have shit in our lives. But the man seems more and more unhinged by the day. And this irrational reaction to Kylie? It’s too much, even for Leon.
I push myself out of my seat, right the chair Leon threw, and leave the meeting room.
When I go down the third floor – one floor below mine, now – Kylie is at her new desk. The promotion is effective from today. She’s a vision. Long wavy her, the blond so dark some call it light brown, hangs over her shoulders. She hasn’t seen me yet, but I know without her looking at me that her eyes are the color of chocolate. Once you’ve seen them, you can’t forget. A splash of freckles on her nose makes her look younger than her twenty-eight years.
I walk to her desk, and she looks up at me. When she sees it’s me, she smiles. It spreads across her face like a sunrise, and I smile back at her. She’s beautiful, but it’s not just a perfectly sculpted face that gets me. She’s fucking hot. She has one of those classic hourglass figures with large breasts, an impossibly small waist and an ass that you can hold onto while you fuck.
And I’ve thought it about. God, help me, I’ve thought about fucking Kylie Jordan. There’s something about her that’s irresistible. When she’s not smiling her lips are in a permanent pout. I can imagine what it would be like having those lips close over my cock, those big brown doe eyes staring up at me.
It won’t be just a fantasy much longer. There are things I know about Kylie. Things she has no idea I’m aware of. Things that she’ll live to regret if I have anything to say about it. It’s almost a shame that someone as fucking gorgeous as she is will have to go down in flames in the end. But at least I’ll enjoy myself making it happen.
I shake off the dark thoughts and clear my throat, giving her a disarming smile that she has no reason to think is anything but sincere.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Wagner?” she asks.
She called me Mr. Wagner in the interview, too. I fucking love that. I want her calling me that while I’m hammering her from behind, but in an effort to keep up the friendly boss act, I shake my head.
“Call me Wes, please.”
She smiles again.
“And I want you to come to the meeting room with me. I’ve got some paperwork for you to fill out.”
She nods and gets up. I watch her move. When she walks around her table, she rolls her wide hips, and I turn away, so I don’t stare.
She follows me to the meeting room. I wait for her, let her walk in first, but I don’t close the door behind us. I know my limits. I don’t want to lock myself in a room with her, not today. She’s got a spell over me with her rolling hips and her fuckable mouth, and I don’t want to risk being alone with her. Not yet.
I’m a professional, but God, the way she moves has me hanging on by a thread right now.
“What did you need to talk about?” she asks when I tell her she can sit down. I sit down, too.
“We need to handle the paperwork,” I say. “And then you’re officially my new project manager.”
She smiles widely.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” she says.
I smile, too. She looks so genuinely happy. It’s almost childlike. I have to hand it to her. She’s good. If I didn’t already know what I do, I’d never suspect she’s anything but authentic.
“Your talents were wasted down at reception,” I say. I don’t know why she was hired as a receptionist in the first place. She should be so much more with her MBA backing her. Now is the chance I know she’s waited for to prove herself.
“Thank you so much for the opportunity,” she says.
I shake my head. “You deserve it.”
She nods. I push the new contract toward her, and she starts reading it. It gives me time to stare at her without her knowing. It’s like poker. You have to know who you’re playing against, find their tells.
Her skin is like porcelain, smooth and blemish free. I want to reach out and touch her. I don’t.
Her blouse is a royal blue, and it makes her skin look paler. It’s perfectly modest, but it’s made of a thin, flowing material, and it traces her ample breasts. They rise and fall as she breathes.
She looks up at me, and I force my eyes to hers.
“I signed it,” she says.
I smile at her.
“Then that’s it,” I say. I hold my hand out to her and she shakes it. Her skin is soft when she touches me, warm, her fingers delicate.
When she stands, I can’t help but look at her body. She’s wearing slacks tight enough that they look painted on. I’m drawn to the apex of her thighs where the slacks are smooth over her pussy. My cock throbs hard and insistent in my pants. It hits me hard. I want to fuck her so badly. I don’t know where it came from – I’m not an animal for God’s sake. I pride myself on my control in every situation. But I want to take this woman.
I can’t stand up now without her seeing my erection. It strains against my pants, wild and trapped. It wants out. It wants to fuck.
When I look at her eyes again they’re large. Her lips are parted, and she swallows. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but I swear she’s thinking dirty thoughts, too.
The atmosphere is electric around us. I look at Kylie’s lips, and we’re caught in a spell where time stands still. I can close the distance, now, and kiss her. I want to push my tongue into her mouth. I want to taste her. My cock throbs in my pants. Despite the lust the churns inside me, I manage a hard smile.
“I suggest you go settle into your new desk, Miss Jordan,” I say.
“Call me Kylie, please,” she says, mimicking what I said to her. Fuck, if her sassy attitude doesn’t make my cock even harder. I nod.
She smiles at me and leaves the meeting room. I slump in the chair. My cock is so hard it aches. I consider going to the men’s room and jacking off, relieving myself, but I don’t. I stroke myself with one finger and my cock twitches.
I wait until it’s gone down enough to be able to get up. When I walk to my office, I’m irritated. I want to fuck. I want to fuck Kylie. She’s so fucking hot it’s almost a sin. Hot and pure and so seemingly innocent.
Can I really ruin that?
Fuck, yes, I can. I didn’t expect my reaction to her to be so intense. I don’t need to let my lust cloud my judgment. I need to keep my head in the game and only think about her in that way in relation to my endgame. To winning. To coming out on top
like I always do.
But I want to see her naked. I want to lick her and kiss her and suck her.
I want to fuck her.
Almost as much as I want to fuck her over.
Kylie
Wes Wagner is the hottest CEO I’ve ever seen. He’s young and serious, perfect for the position, but he also oozes sex appeal. Tall, dark and handsome describes him to a tee. His dark hair is raked out of his face like he uses only his fingers in the morning. It makes him look stylishly rugged. His evergreen eyes are bright and mesmerizing, and I know for a fact that he’s chiseled beneath his business suit.
How do I know? He carries himself like he’s the hottest thing to grace the face of the earth. And he might just be.
I’m not suffering from a girlish crush, either. The sexual tension in the meeting was real. It was so thick I could barely breathe. When Wes looked at me, it was like he was imagining what it would be like to kiss me. Or worse.
Or better.
I can imagine what that would be like. Being pinned down by a man like that? I shiver when I think about it, heat already pooling between my legs. Am I thinking dirty thoughts about my boss?
Damn right I am.
A part of me wants him to dominate me, to take what he wants. He’s one of those alpha males. He’s at the top of the pecking order, and it seems fitting that he would get the women. Woman. Singular. If he’s going to take a woman it should be me.
Of course, I can’t do that. It’s all a fantasy. I can’t fuck the CEO. He’s my boss, and RidgeCo has all sorts of rules about that. Naturally. It’s a professional place, after all.
But even more than that, I can’t be distracted from why I’m really here, working for RidgeCo. I have a singular goal. I didn’t expect an opportunity to implement my plan to show itself so soon. Now that it has and Wes has made me a project manager, I’m one step closer. But all that could be ruined if I let this crazy attraction distract me.
No. I can’t keep thinking about him like that. I can’t imagine what it would be like for him to have me on my back and to spread my legs, to dip his head to my pussy and lick me.
I shiver again. I’m making myself horny thinking about him like this. And I shouldn’t. It’s wrong.
Don’t fuck the CEO. Don’t fuck the CEO. Don’t fuck the CEO.
It’s my mantra for the day.
Forgetting about Wes is impossible. I’m settling into my new desk, unpacking the box I brought up from reception, but my mind is full of him. It was evident in the meeting room that he was thinking the same thing as I am.
He had an erection. He didn’t stand up when I left. And he’s way too much of a gentleman to skip proper manners. No, Wes’s dick was hard. Why do men think women won’t notice it? He wasn’t exactly tucked in beneath the table.
And if the obvious hard-on in his pants wasn’t enough, the way he looked at me said it all.
He looked at me like I was dessert. Well, I’m not exactly going to stop him if he wants to eat me.
I’m doing it again! I shake off the thoughts. I can’t think of him that way. But I really, really want to. Just thinking about him makes me wet. But that’s because he’s so out of reach. I should hate the man. So why does my body respond to him so readily?
What is it they say about forbidden fruit?
If I keep thinking about him, I’m going to drive myself crazy, and without a release that’s a bad idea. I think it’s tacky to do myself in the ladies room, so I bury myself in the mountain of work I have now.
I am a freshly appointed project manager for a new project. RidgeCo is a tech company. Their latest and greatest is wearable technology that can detect changes in the brain’s electrical activity to alert the wearer of a pending seizure. Until now, the technology that RidgeCo has produced has been a luxury only. But something like this can change everything. It would make life for sufferers easier.
Not everyone was happy when I was appointed, but Wes wanted me, and that’s all that matters.
Now that I’m on the project I have a huge amount of research to do to know exactly where RidgeCo stands in their tech development processes. I have textbooks and journals to work through. I almost feel like I’m back in college, but this time I’m getting paid for it.
I got a full scholarship for my undergrad degree but to get my MBA I had to take out a student loan. My dad left my mom when I was in high school, taking his love and most of his financial support with him when he left. Since then I’ve had to fend for myself. This promotion will allow me to pay down my student debts and help my mom be comfortable again. We’ve been living with my gran since high school, and I want to end up giving my mom a place of her own again if I can. She doesn’t deserve this life, even if she wasn’t completely innocent in the downfall of their marriage. She deserves more than the life we were left with, and me taking this job will go a long way toward making things right.
The work I’m studying up on is interesting and a lot easier to understand than I thought. I’m so engrossed that when someone touches me on my shoulder, I jump.
When I spin around, Wes looks down at me.
“Sorry,” he says, but his green eyes don’t look sorry in the least. He has a square jaw, high cheekbones and one of those dimples on his chin that make him look like Adonis. His gaze bores into mine, intense and hard.
I take a deep breath and blow it out slowly.
“I didn’t mean to scare you,” he says, his easy tone contradicting his expression. My heart slows again, and I can think straight.
Like, think about Wes and how close he’s standing to me. I can smell his cologne. I didn’t notice it this morning, but now that he’s this close it’s intoxicating.
“I was just reading up on the project,” I say.
Wes nods and looks at my books.
“Jumping right in, I see. I knew hiring you was the right choice.” He smiles at me.
I smile back at him, and it’s not even forced. His eyes slide to my lips and then my chest, and he makes no point of hiding it. Instead, his eyes find mine again and there’s something in them now that wasn’t there a moment ago. Something hungry. Something delicious.
My heart speeds up a little and an echo of my earlier lust returns. With it, my mantra.
Don’t fuck the CEO, don’t fuck the CEO.
I’m proud of myself. If I can just keep reminding myself of all the reasons why I need to be here. Why I can’t risk losing this job.
“How is it coming along?” he asks.
I nod, looking back at the book I’m working through. “Good, so far. I think I understand the technology.”
He smiles at me again, this time with obvious intent.
“An intelligent woman is attractive.”
I fight a blush. I don’t want to seem like one of those women that can’t handle a compliment. What’s wrong with me? My cheeks burn, anyway, and Wes’s eyes twinkle.
“I want to meet with you to discuss the project,” Wes says. “I’ll be mentoring you on this one, and I think we should get a start on that.”
I nod. “Tomorrow?” I ask.
Wes shakes his head. “I have to shoot out to meet potential clients tomorrow. I’ll be out the entire day. But come to my office on Wednesday.”
I nod. “I can do that.”
“Come to my office on Wednesday. We can discuss your plans for this.”
“Alone?” I ask, and the word slips out before I can stop myself. My cheeks flame up again, and I feel like an idiot.
Wes smiles at me. He still has that twinkle in his eye, the promise of mischief.
“If that’s what you want,” he says. His voice is deep, and it tugs at something low down and delicious. I shiver again.
“I’ll be there,” I say, and my voice sounds too breathy. Wes nods and turns away from me. I watch him walk away. He has broad shoulders. His tailor-made blazer hugs his body, and he wears the suit like he’s doing it a favor. I watch his ass as he walks. I like a good ass on a man. Nothing too
big but firm and round will do it for me. I don’t like those asses where the pants hang empty, and there’s nothing to hold onto.
Wes Wagner has a delectable ass. I don’t really think there’s something about him that isn’t delectable.
When he’s out of sight, I can think straight again. I press my hands to my cheeks and breathe in slowly. He knows. He knows I want him. If he wasn’t sure before, he knows now after my comment about seeing him alone. God, I’m just an idiot sometimes.
But Wes didn’t seem unhappy that I’m fawning over him.
The rest of the day is spent in a tug of war between focusing on work and fantasizing about Wes. I imagine myself in all sorts of compromising positions with him: against a wall with his one hand pinning my wrists above my head and the other hand between my legs, rubbing my clit. On a desk with my legs spread and his dick inside me. In a shower with hot water running over my body and his thick flesh sliding between my ass cheeks before he finds my entrance and pushes into me from behind.
I know that I’m playing with fire. I’m working myself up for something that might never happen. No, something that can’t happen. I can’t let my unexpected attraction to Wes change anything. Besides, there are rules – RidgeCo is a company that’s strict about relationships between employees, and I don’t doubt they’ll enforce it if someone oversteps the bounds.
Thinking about those rules almost makes me laugh. Ironic that they’re so strictly enforced now that I’m working here.
Wes might be off-limits in real life, but there are no rules about fantasizing about coworkers. And that’s what I’m doing. I’m thinking dirty thoughts about him, and I proceed to do so the rest of the day. Just because I fantasize about it doesn’t mean I’m going to act on it.
When I get home that evening, I’m hot and bothered. I want a release. I want to fuck.
My phone rings and I pick it up, relieved about the distraction. It’s Paris.
“What are you doing?” she asks.
“I just got home from work.”
“Cool.”
Paris is my best friend. I met her at a fundraiser during college. She didn’t raise funds, she just popped in to see what was going on. That’s her attitude – glide through life to see the sights but never partake.
