Office Intrigue (Office Intrigue Duet Book 1)

by Nicole Edwards

I felt a blush creep up my neck. “I have.”

  Ben seemed pleased by that response. “You enjoy them?”

  “I do.”

  “I prefer you to be more detailed in your answer.” Langston’s matter-of-fact tone had my eyes darting over to him.

  I hadn’t realized there was going to be a book report. It took me a moment to think back on that book. I’d read others since and I wanted to ensure I gave as little away as possible.

  “Did the book get you hot and bothered?” Landon asked.

  I should’ve been surprised by the blunt question, but I wasn’t. However, I would’ve expected it more from Langston or Justin, but they were all direct in their own way.

  Figuring I wasn’t going to get out of this, I forced a smile. “I did, actually. As I mentioned before, the topic is one I have no experience with, but I liked it. I noticed there was a lot of…sex.” Considering I’d played Never Have I Ever with these men, talking about sex shouldn’t have been difficult, yet it was.

  “What was your favorite part of the book?” Langston questioned.

  Swallowing hard, I let my gaze drop to my lap. “I liked the scene at the end.” My face heated as I thought about it. “When she was in his office and he tied her to the St. Andrew’s cross. She was naked. And he continued to work, enjoying the view.”

  As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I couldn’t believe I’d said them.

  “I enjoyed that scene as well,” Ben said, drawing my gaze to his.

  “That was a particularly interesting one,” Justin added. “I think his next one is going to cross some serious boundaries, though.”

  “That’s his goal.” Langston smirked.

  I would have to seek that one out because I liked the idea of crossing boundaries.

  “Now, if we’re finished with that topic, I want to discuss the upcoming managers’ meeting,” Justin prompted.

  I was grateful that we were moving on.

  “We hold a meeting once a quarter,” Ben explained for my benefit, “for which we fly in all of our managers to discuss financials, prospects, and upcoming events.”

  Landon spoke next. “It’s usually a three- or four-day event, which requires a tremendous amount of planning.” He held my stare. “This quarter, we’d like for you to set it up, plan it out, and host the event in its entirety.”

  Holy shit.

  That was an enormous task, but not one that I would shy away from.

  “I’d be honored,” I admitted, scribbling down the key words I’d heard thus far. “Is there a specific week you’d like this to take place?”

  “The second week in December,” Justin stated. “That’ll give you five weeks for planning. Trust me when I say, that’s not a long time. However, it’s doable.”

  I nodded, then glanced between them. “Should I go to one of you with questions? Or will I need to meet with each of you separately?”

  Justin was the one to answer. “More than likely, you’ll be spending time with each of us. It’s the only time that our teams come together, and due to the differences in their accounts, we have to be cognizant of their time and the conferences we’ll plan.”

  I continued to jot down the information.

  “Before the week’s out, we’ll give you as much information as we can to get you started. But today, we thought we’d go over your job requirements,” Landon said, his tone deep, his eyes…God, they looked almost hungry.

  Finally!

  Keeping my expression neutral, I placed my pen flat on my notebook, setting them on the table and retrieving my coffee cup as I gave him my full attention. “I’m ready when you are.”

  His eyes flared, too.

  “How’s the workload been thus far?” Ben inquired.

  I placed my hands in my lap and crossed my legs, discreetly looking to see which man was watching me. Turned out, all four of them noticed the move but only three sets of eyes quickly lifted to my face. Langston’s eyes never left my face, his countenance cool.

  “It’s been good,” I said. “I’ve spent a fair amount of time getting to know your team members, talking to them at length during our phone conversations.” I didn’t tell them that it was a good way for me to pass some of the time.

  “Do you feel as though you have a decent workload?” Ben inquired.

  I nodded. “Most of the time, I can keep myself busy. But if you have more things you would like me to do, besides the quarterly meeting…” I licked my lips and chose my words carefully. “I’m available for anything.”

  “Anything?” Langston asked, his eyes boring into me.

  “Anything,” I repeated.

  And I honestly couldn’t believe I went there. Openly propositioning a boss was grounds for termination, I would think. But truthfully, I needed to know what was going on here. Every day I got the sense that one or more of them was flirting with me. And it was almost as though they were waiting for me to take the bait.

  Now, could I really sleep with my boss?

  Maybe.

  I just wasn’t sure which one I would pick.

  “Could you possibly elaborate on the other things you’re willin’ to do?” Landon suggested.

  That was easy. “You know, picking up lunch, contacting your team members, getting updates on upcoming events, coordinating travel.” I licked my lips again. “And I would still have time for filing, getting coffee, or even dictation.”

  Yep, I went there.

  “Dictation?” There was a definite catch in Landon’s voice that time.

  “Yes, sir,” I replied sweetly, meeting his gaze head on.

  “Would you be willing to do dictation for more than one of us?” Ben asked directly.

  I considered this for a moment, almost positive there was an underlying sexual vibe to this conversation. After all, Ben did enunciate the dic part of dictation rather thickly as well.

  “Or all of us?” Landon asked.

  “At the same time?” Justin added.

  Yep. No way did I miss it that time.

  While all four men watched me intently, I honestly considered what I was getting myself into. I mean, if I was misunderstanding, then there was a big possibility I would lose my job. This could be construed as sexual harassment on my part, right? However, if I wasn’t misunderstanding and my four bosses would like to…share me, then I had to consider what happened from this point forward.

  Keep in mind, I’d been reading a lot these past few weeks. Thanks to the authors Langston represented, I’d learned quite a few interesting things about sexual preferences. So, it didn’t seem like a farfetched conclusion.

  I guess they could tell me in the job requirements.

  “Before you answer that,” Ben said, “I think you should understand a few things.”

  “Yes, sir,” I said simply because I knew they liked to hear it.

  “We’re very demanding,” Langston stated.

  I nodded.

  “And we require discretion,” Ben supplied.

  “Sometimes long hours,” Justin included.

  I peered over at Landon, waiting for his remark.

  “I concur with all of those. And add that we’re very…hands-on.”

  I swallowed hard as I thought about their hands on me. My pussy lit up like a Fourth of July fireworks show, my clit pulsing.

  “I understand.” I met each of their eyes as I added, “and I’m more than willing.”

  A round of exhales erupted, but no one moved.

  “Would you be willing to…interview for this portion of the job requirements?” Langston asked directly.

  “Interview?” I wasn’t sure what he meant.

  “Something a little more hands-on.”

  I didn’t even hesitate. “I would, sir.”

  “You understand there’s no increase in pay,” Ben stated.

  I kept my expression neutral and my tone smooth. “I wouldn’t want there to be.” After all, I wasn’t a whore. I certainly wasn’t going to ask to get paid for any…ext
racurricular activities. “I’m all about going above and beyond, and as far as I’m concerned, you pay me quite nicely as your secretary.”

  My body was on fire and if something didn’t happen in the next few minutes, honestly, I was going to have to consider bringing my vibrator to work going forward.

  All four men glanced between themselves and I watched intently, waiting.

  “Would you please stand up?” Langston requested when it seemed they’d come to whatever conclusion they wanted to come to.

  Placing my coffee cup on the table in front of me, I got to my feet.

  “Over here,” he instructed, pointing to the spot directly in front of him.

  As I sidestepped the table, Langston got to his feet and pushed his chair back. I came to a stop directly in front of him and peered up into his face. He was so tall it required me to tilt my head back, but it certainly wasn’t a hardship. From this close, I could see the green and gold striations in his hazel eyes, the sexy scruff along his jaw. And I could smell the spice of his cologne.

  I wasn’t sure what I expected him to do, but when he cupped my neck with both of his big hands and tilted my head back farther, I felt a little lost. And when his mouth descended on mine, slowly, gently…

  I sighed.

  Yep. I did.

  Because holy smokes, the man’s lips were utter perfection.

  Langston applied exactly the right amount of pressure to prove that he was in control without being overbearing. His tongue licked its way into my mouth confidently. His smooth, warm lips melded to mine and I heard the soft rumble vibrating in his chest, which I took to mean he liked kissing me, too.

  I was completely lost to his kiss, so it took a second to process the additional hands on me. On my hips to be exact. When Langston pulled back, our eyes met and held for several long seconds. I could’ve sworn I saw something there, something that urged me to give in to whatever demands he had.

  However, before I could process what was transpiring between us, I found myself being turned until I was facing the equally sexy Landon. He gave me that wickedly mischievous grin of his, and if my panties hadn’t already been wet, they certainly would’ve been from that sexy smirk.

  “My turn,” he whispered before pulling me into him.

  Landon was as gentle as his twin but a little less demanding. Not completely lax. Just enough that I knew I would enjoy my time with him, but I would never be in control where he was concerned.

  So we’re clear, I was okay with that. Very okay with that.

  A soft moan escaped me when Landon tugged me against him, his hands cupping my ass and squeezing gently, his erection pressing intimately against my belly. I wasn’t ready for the kiss to be over, but the next hands on me were more insistent, and they were urging me to turn around.

  I pulled back from Landon’s luscious mouth and he offered a seductive grin. Then I was turned so that I was facing…

  Ben.

  I couldn’t deny that I’d wanted to know what his full lips felt like since the second I saw him.

  He didn’t make me wait.

  He was shorter than the others, but still tall enough that I had to tilt my head back to see his face. But that didn’t matter when he leaned in and that delicious mouth covered mine. His lips were warm and far softer than I anticipated. His hands were still on my hips, practically spanning my entire pelvis with his thumbs brushing against my pelvic bone.

  This time I moaned louder, leaning into him and placing my hand on his chest because I desperately wanted to know what was underneath that suit.

  Of course, I didn’t get to do much searching because Ben pulled back, his eyes meeting mine. There was something dark and hungry lurking beneath that sexy exterior and I was desperate for Ben to unleash it on me.

  But then Justin reached for my hand and pulled me toward him. His eyes searched my face for long seconds before he, too, kissed me.

  He was the most intense, I could tell. And it was obvious he was all about control. Not necessarily controlling me, but more so keeping himself in check. Yet his kiss was delivered with such delicate care I was ready and willing to submit to anything he asked of me.

  The kiss ended when Justin growled low in his throat, pulling back slowly.

  I wasn’t sure what to do at that point, so I remained standing. I realized the others had once again taken their seats. Justin turned me around so that I was facing them, his hard chest at my back, his hands coming around and sliding up my thighs.

  I sucked in air as I leaned back against him. I could feel the proof of his desire against my lower back.

  “We’re going to implement some rules,” Justin said, his voice loud enough to carry to the others. “Is that okay with you?”

  At that moment, I was pretty sure anything was okay with me.

  But I didn’t say that.

  I simply nodded.

  Thirteen

  “FIRST RULE,” JUSTIN SAID AS he slid his hands higher on my thighs just beneath the hem of my skirt. “Everyone in this room will provide current test results for sexually transmitted diseases.”

  This was a little shocking, I must admit, but I was completely on board with that plan. I mean, this was already unconventional on every level, so why wouldn’t we take the necessary precautions up front? Safety was key.

  “Second rule. Once clean test results are provided, condoms are optional for intercourse. Vaginal and anal.”

  The second part caught my attention and caused my breath to catch. I’d never had anal sex. Not that I was opposed to it. I’d admit that I had experimented with a couple of boyfriends, but we never got to the full penetration point. Usually just a finger, once a very slim vibrator. The thought of being fucked in the ass… Well, truthfully, it wasn’t a horrible thought.

  “Third rule.” Justin’s hands slid higher, lifting my skirt as he went.

  Someone cleared their throat.

  I was too focused on the warm hands gliding up my legs to think about anything else. Cool air caressed my lower lips when Justin pulled my panties to the side to reveal my freshly waxed pussy. Thank goodness I’d kept that appointment on Saturday. I’d known one day that pain would pay off. Today was that day.

  “Hold your skirt up,” Justin commanded softly in my ear. “And don’t let it drop.”

  I fumbled to get the fabric in my fingers, then clutched it tightly, holding it above my hips.

  “You will be required to be on birth control,” Justin continued.

  It required effort, but I kept my eyes open, watching as Landon’s gaze centered on my nether region. I could tell he was affected by the way his chest rose and fell. Not to mention the sizeable tent in his slacks. I cut my gaze to Langston. He looked completely unfazed. However, I could see the heat in his eyes, the interest. He was good at maintaining control of himself and it turned me on.

  “Are you good with that?” Justin nipped my ear.

  What was the question again?

  Oh, right. Birth control.

  “Of course. I’m on the pill now,” I explained although I wasn’t sure anyone understood me thanks to the breathy moan that accompanied my words when Justin’s finger caressed my clit.

  “Fourth rule.”

  He continued to stroke my clit, applying minimal pressure, but it was enough to make my knees weaken and my thighs tremble.

  I nodded, encouraging him to continue with the rules. Or fingering me. Either one. I didn’t care.

  “No sexual intercourse with anyone outside of this room.” Justin’s head lifted from beside mine. “For the duration of our agreement. And that goes for everyone in this room.”

  A round of “agree” came from the other three. I, however, could only nod because Justin had slipped one thick finger inside me.

  “God, you’re tight.”

  I whimpered.

  “I fucking love that you’re waxed smooth.” His thumb brushed over my skin. “I can’t wait to sink my cock into this sweet, hot pussy.”

&n
bsp; I trembled, completely turned on by the coarse words and the sexy tone of his voice. I wanted that, too, more than I could even explain. However, I knew that wasn’t going to happen today because of all the rules and the required tests. But that didn’t stop me from imagining the four of them fucking me into oblivion.

  “Justin…please…” I was grinding my pelvis against his hand without shame, attempting to get him to fuck me deeper. One finger wasn’t enough. It was merely a tease.

  “You want me to make you come?”

  “Yes, sir,” I whispered, hoping that would do the trick.

  “I fucking love when you say that,” he groaned against my ear.

  His head lifted again, but his finger didn’t stop moving inside me.

  “Anyone object to me being the first to make her come?”

  No one said anything, so I could only assume they were all in agreement. I hoped they were, because I couldn’t stand much more.

  He slipped another finger inside me and began to move faster. I was moaning in earnest now, not caring that there were three other sets of eyes watching as Justin fingered me closer and closer to orgasm. In fact, knowing that they were watching made it that much hotter.

  I couldn’t help but watch Landon and Langston, who were directly in front of me. I even glanced over at Ben and I noticed he was grinding his palm against his cock through his slacks. What I wouldn’t have given to see him jack off right in front of me, knowing that I was the one who was making him come.

  Justin shifted, his left hand slipping behind my left knee. He lifted my leg, spreading me open for their viewing pleasure as he continued to drive two fingers into my pussy.

  I was reduced to nothing more than sensation and a variety of grunts and groans as I let my climax build, growing in intensity until I couldn’t contain it any longer. When I came, I cried out Justin’s name over and over, my fingernails digging into his forearm as I held on for dear life.

  “Very, very nice, princess,” he whispered, his words rough against my ear.

  I realized he was holding me up, which I was grateful for, because I would’ve been a puddle on the floor without his strength keeping me upright.

  When Justin lowered my leg, his fingers slipping from my body, I inhaled deeply, trying to catch my breath and gain my bearings. His hand traveled upward, his arm brushing over my breasts until his fingers were hovering by my lips. I knew what he wanted, so I opened my mouth, allowing him to slide his fingers over my bottom lip. My tongue darted over them before I sucked both digits into my mouth, licking them clean.
