“Things will clear up soon,” I hear myself saying, even though I have no assurance of that, “and then I’ll make it up to you, I promise. We’ll go somewhere that’ll blow your mind.”
“You blow my mind.” Her words are shy, but they’re enough to heat my blood. I smile, raising her face to look at mine. I’m about to lean down and kiss her, when she rises up on her toes and places her lips over mine. I kiss her back, my tongue delving into the sweet recesses of her mouth. Then she suddenly pushes me away and runs her hands down the front of my shirt dropping to her knees in front of me.
Her fingers flit over the front of my pants, and my body responds forcefully. I can hardly wait as she undoes my zipper and frees me from the constraints of my underwear. Then she takes me in her mouth.
The heat nearly sends me over the edge. Her hot lips, velvety tongue, the sweet moist pressure as she tightens her lips around me and takes me deeper into her mouth... It’s driving me insane. I bury my fingers in her hair, my knees going weak as she moves her head back and forth, her tongue teasing me to madness. There’s no technique to what she’s doing. It’s just her, lovely, sexy, and mine. She moans against me, and the sound pushes me over the edge. I come with a loud groan.
She swallows. Her lips are still tight around me as I pull out of her mouth. My legs are shaky, and I can’t catch my breath, I drop to my knees beside her.
“You’re a bag of surprises, aren’t you?” I growl, taking her lips as my fingers delve under her t-shirt to feel how wet she is. She moans, rotating her hips around my fingers.
“You’re ready for me.” I whisper softly against her ear.
She nods.
I stroke her until she’s shaking and moaning her desire, her hips bucking sweetly to my touch. When I know she can’t take much more, I turn her around and enter her slowly from behind.
She’s so tight and so responsive. Her body tightens around me, her low moan piercing my brain. I close my eyes and let my body take over, pushing myself deeper into her with each thrust. I find her breasts under her t-shirt and fill my hands with their exquisite softness, squeezing gently.
She loses all self-consciousness, shouting my name as her body contracts around me, pulsing with her climax. I pull out of her, still hard, and move her so that she’s lying on her back. I kneel between her legs and lift her off the floor, pushing slowly, teasingly inside her core. She’s shaking uncontrollably and moaning loudly, and I’m losing more and more of my mind. I feel as if I’m going to explode, and when I finally do, it’s the most powerful thing I’ve ever felt.
I want to lie down there with her for as long as possible. I want a repeat. I want to take her to some secluded tropical island and have her for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I get up and start to adjust my clothes. Sophie looks up at me, her eyes heavy. “Have I made you late for work?” She asks.
I tear my eyes away from her. If I don’t leave now, I probably never will. “Not really,” I knot my tie, telling her about the appointments I’ve asked my assistant to make for her. Clothes and shopping should help to keep her occupied until I resolve the issues at work. At least I hope so.
Chapter Six
The next few days are both crazy and exciting.
I played Pac-Man when I was a kid. The ghosts would chase me around until I got a pellet and then I would turn around and chase then, eating them up. I’ve never done the Pac-Man move in business though. I’ve never had to, until now.
On the first day of my plan, we start with a Dawn Raid. As soon as the stock market opens in the morning, I purchase a substantial number of shares in Felt Enterprises. By the time Toby Felt realizes what’s going on, I’ve already built a substantial stake in his company.
The next day I communicate my cash tender offer to his stockholders, offering a generous price over and above the market price.
By the next day, he’s calling to negotiate.
I don’t really want to buy Felt’s company, but I can, and he knows it. He also knows that he cannot pursue my company and try to keep his own at the same time. I did my homework, so I know he’s spread too thin.
By the time I’m done with him, the only thing that’s left to deal with is Carole.
When I invite her to my office, I can tell from the sound of her voice on the phone that she thinks she has won. When she saunters into my office, her smile tells me that she believes I have no choice, but to capitulate to her demands.
“David darling,” She breathes, rising on tiptoe to kiss me on each cheek.
I suffer her attentions, waiting until she steps away from me and takes a seat.
“So have you reconsidered my offer,” She crosses her legs, a triumphant smile dancing on her lips. “I don’t have forever, you know.”
“If I remember correctly,” I reply, “I made you an offer as well. I offered to buy your shares.” I pause, “Have you considered my offer?”
Carole laughs. “How like you to take a hard line even though you know I hold all the cards, David.” She shrugs. “I’ve given you an easy way out. You can give me what I want, or I’ll give Felt what he wants.”
“And just to be clear Carole, What you want is marriage, to me?”
