More than a Job: The Complete Series (8 page)

7.

That night, Mike comes over after work and tells me he has
a surprise. We never talked much the night before, so I am happy he did not
forget. After we eat, we sit in bed and he hands me a small box.

“A ring?” I ask. We had not exchanged rings, although a
part of me would like something more serious than just a promise we will go to
Vegas together.

“No, something else.” I open the box. Inside is a key.
There is nothing else.

“A key?”

“To my apartment,” he smiles. This is a big step and I know
it is a huge move on Mike’s part. “I think it’s time you come over when you
would like.”

“I won’t show up unannounced,” I promise. I appreciate my
own privacy but I am grateful for the gift.

“I want to share everything with you.” He brings me to the
bathroom and draws a bath. He gets in first and lowers me down on top of me. We
make love in the bath. It is slow and steady. There is no fucking; it is
deliberate and focused and he explores every inch of my body.

“Jayni, I love you so much,” he whispers in my ear. I lean
against him and we rock to ecstasy together. After we are done, he cleans me
off and we lie in bed, cuddling.

“I love you too, Mike. Thank you for trusting me.”

He holds me close to him and we sleep.

A
fter the gift of the key and our bathtub lovemaking, I
don’t expect three days to go with no contact. I call his cell several times,
but aside from one text saying he is busy, there is no communication. Finally,
by Friday afternoon, I am livid. I promised I would not go by his apartment
unannounced, but I decide I will remind him what he is missing and plan a big
surprise for when he gets home.

I open the door into his apartment. It is huge with a great
view. I am not surprised he lives in luxury and I am less surprised that
everything is clean and efficient. What does surprise me is that as I put down
the groceries I brought, I hear moaning from the bedroom. I don’t remember if
Mike has a roommate; I don’t think he does, but I am still convinced there is
nothing odd going on until I open the bedroom door.

Mike sits on the bed, his shirt still buttoned, shoes still
on, and his pants around his ankles. In between his legs kneels a naked woman.
Her head is bobbing up and down, sucking him off. He does not see me because he
is leaning back, eyes closed in pleasure.

“What the hell?” Mike opens his eyes and his shock
registers.

“Jayni,” he says, but there is no excuse, no explanation.
The woman stands up and when she turns around, I feel sick.

“Katie?!”

She wipes her face and shrugs. “You’ve been busy with your
new job and Mike thought maybe he could use a new assistant. He is getting a
lot of new clients and there is a greater global market he needs to tap into.
So he was seeing if I would draw clients to the company.”

“Why? I could have come back to work for you,” I say.

“Jayni, the client list is growing exponentially. I can’t
keep up. And there is no way you can balance both my list and Maria’s. And
still have time for us.”

“Us?” I am shocked that he thinks us is still a
possibility. “You think we are going to get past this?”

“Should I leave?” Katie asks. I say yes and Mike says no
simultaneously.

“Then I’ll go,” I say.

“Jayni, stop. Don’t be a hypocrite.” Mike is arguing, but I
am going to be sick.

“You could have had someone else try her out,” I say.

“It’s my company,” he argues as if that is an excuse.

“I’m done. With both of you.”

I leave the apartment and burst into tears. I don’t know
what to do anymore. I thought we had promised one another no more lies. And
Katie. My best friend of all people. I have no idea what the next step is until
I think of Katie and all her talk about being in love with Steve. She loved him
so much yet she fucked my fiancé. We can both hurt the other, I think, and I
dial Steve’s number on my phone. I tell him I have something really important I
need to talk to him about and ask if he can come by. He says he will be over
soon, but asks if he can bring Liam. They are both at the gym.

“The more the merrier,” I say.

I answer the door wearing nothing and Steve understands
right away.

“Jayni, I would love to tap that, believe me, but Katie...”

“Steve. This afternoon I walked in on Katie blowing her
boss. And my lover.”

“She what?” He looks to Liam as if he can confirm what
happened. He dials Katie immediately and asks for her side. Apparently, she
does not deny it because he looks shaken. “That’s great. Well I am standing
here looking at Jayni’s incredibly hot body, so I guess it is totally fine if I
fuck her repeatedly.” He hangs up and slams the door. He bends me over the back
of the couch and does not even bother with foreplay. His cock is inside of me
and we misery fuck as if our lives depend on it. Liam looks bored.

“Liam, come here and let me suck that dick.”

“Jayni. Are you sure?”

“Listen, Liam, I am apparently the world’s fuck toy, so enjoy
it. Besides, it’s not like I have not noticed how hard you get when we hang
out.”

“Jayni, I’d like to, but I think you need to get this shit
straightened out. Give me a call sometime.” He leaves, not locking the door
behind him, but I don’t care. I almost hope one of my creepy neighbors walks in
while Steve is fucking me over the couch. He is better than I expected and I
come when he pushes his cock into me. He pinches my tits and I spread my legs
further so he can get more of my pussy. When I hear someone in the hall, I
don’t expect it to be Katie who walks in.

“Why?” She is crying and she throws something at Steve. He
grunts and fucks me harder until he comes and turns to her.

“You cannot be serious,” he says. “You just blew your boss.
You didn’t even deny it.”

“It was a job interview,” she whines.

“No job is worth a relationship,” he argues.

“So you fuck my best friend?”

I am agitated. The fight is not fun and I am heartbroken
about Mike. Katie and Steve rage at one another and I go to my room. They follow
me, though. Katie strips off her clothes and pins me down. She takes out a
dildo and forces it inside of me. I dig my fingers into her ass.

“I can’t believe you fucked my boyfriend. I only sucked
Mike’s cock.”

Steve comes behind Katie and fucks her while she is forcing
the dildo inside me. I moan, angry that I am enjoying this, but God I love it.
I feel Katie coming.

“You’re such a bitch,” I tell her. She slams the dildo into
me until I scream. Steve jerks off over me and comes all over my face.

“Well you’re a slut.” They leave me there and I am left
alone in my apartment. When my phone rings several times, it is Mike, but I let
the calls go to voicemail. The only call I pick up is from Maria.

“Good news! I have got quite the client for you.”

“I’m done. Do what you will. I don’t care. I never want to
see or hear from you or Mike again.” I hang up and fall asleep, tears streaking
my pillow. I never intended to be a whore, but that is what I have become.

Epilogue

When I wake up in the morning, the kitchen smells
delightful. I go out to the den and see Liam cooking breakfast. He is humming
and has an adorable apron on that says “Kiss the Cook.”

“How did you get in?” I ask.

“I came back and the door was wide open. I found you
sleeping. Jayni, I want to apologize. The thing is, I like you. I really do. I
just respect you too much to do what you wanted me to do yesterday. So I came
back to see if we could start over?”

He serves me pancakes with blueberry syrup and sits at the
table while I eat. The pancakes are phenomenal. Liam looks like a little kid
with his smiling eyes and floppy hair. Being here is so normal. I remember what
life was like before Mike, before the job.

“I’d like that,” I tell him. After we eat, we go for a walk
and he holds my hand. That is as far as it goes and we spend the day talking
and getting to know one another. When he walks me back to my apartment that
night, he kisses me softly before he leaves. I feel myself becoming whole
again. I almost invite him in, but given my last few weeks, I know how it will
end and I like that Liam does not look at me the way the rest of them do.

I am still smiling when I walk into my apartment and find
Mike sitting on my couch. He is crying and he stands when I enter.

“Jayni, please. I am so sorry. I contacted Maria and I am
going to sell her the company. I swore I would never let work come between us.
Please give me another chance.”

I want to say no, to tell him about my day with Liam. It
isn’t that easy, though, and I look at him as he sobs. The decision I make
right now could be the most important one I ever make.

.

“For starters,” I tell him as he looks broken in the
doorway, “selling the company is stupid. But I am not going to be your toy
anymore.”

“Is there any chance we can make things right?” He
approaches me and holds me close, kissing my neck and chest. I feel him grow
hard against me and I want to help with it, but that is what got me in this
mess.

“I don’t know.” I had a wonderful day with Liam and this
relationship with Mike has been challenging to say the least. “To be honest, I
think I need a break.”

He pulls me close to him and rubs his clothed cock against
me. “Please don’t go. Can’t you see how much I need you?”

I pull away. “If you need me, it has to be more than this.
I would suggest you try being my boyfriend first.”

Mike looks shocked and he does not know how to reply. I
don’t think anyone has ever said no to him, but I have to stop saying yes.
Every yes that I have spoken since meeting with him has been nothing but
trouble. Pleasant trouble, sure, but trouble nonetheless.

“I think you should go,” I tell him. “Why don’t we go out
next weekend?”

“I have a conference. Wanna come?”

I laugh. “You seem to ask me that a lot. I will think about
it.”

He closes the door and I call Liam. I don’t want to be
alone tonight. When Liam arrives, I am wearing a silk nightgown and I see that
it has the desired effect on him. I move to his belt, but he says no.

“Jayni, I want to be with you desperately, but I told you,
let’s take it slow. I’m happy to stay and keep you company tonight, but the
pants are staying on.” I want to argue, but it is sweet how he treats me. He
picks me up and carries me to the bed. After he lays me down, he slips between
the comforter and bed and snuggles close to me. We lie in bed together, but he
does not touch me other than a brief brush of my arm.

“You have some willpower,” I tell him.

“It’s taking everything I’ve got not to bury myself inside
of you.”

“Maybe we should-” I roll over.

“No,” he confirms and that is that. For the first time in
quite some time, I actually sleep with a man without anything else happening
between us.

#

M
y phone rings early in the morning. It is Mike. He wants
me to come to the office. I am reluctant, but I realize I am now without a job,
so I go. When I arrive, he brings me to his office. Maria is in there as well.
She addresses me first.

“Jayni, having been in your situation, I understand how
angry you are. I know that Mike loves you, but remember, he is a bit fucked up
and sometimes can’t control himself.”

“I walked in on him getting sucked off by my best friend,”
I retort.

“Regardless. We both have a great deal of clients who have
been happy with your service and many more who have been referred given what we
offer. Is there any way we can coordinate something, even if it means you and I
take Mike out of the picture, so that we can satisfy our needs and keep you on
board?”

“I don’t know,” I say.

Mike breaks in. He looks gorgeous today in a dark suit and
I hate how beautiful his eyes are. I know I could fix it all by saying yes and
that I could have him however I want him, but I am angry. Really angry. “Jayni,
I will give you a substantial raise and you can work through Maria. If you
don’t want to see me, you won’t have to, but I could really use someone with
your skill set and talent.”

“You mean someone who can get off all night without
stopping?”

He actually blushes and I want to kick myself for thinking
he is cute. “Precisely.”

“I will think about it. When do you need to know?”

“The sooner the better. Maybe tomorrow?”

“Come to my place tomorrow night for dinner. Both of you. I
will see how the evening goes and decide.”

Maria crosses her legs and I see that she is not wearing
any underwear. I remember the night in her house when she fucked me with that
giant dildo and I am tempted to screw her again right here. “I will gladly come
tomorrow,” she says. That’s probably a fairly accurate statement.

2.

When I get home, I call Liam. He promises to come over
after work and I wait for him, anxious. I need to tell him everything, because
I cannot move forward with anything until the truth is laid out on the table.
When he arrives, he has flowers. I take the long stem roses and put them in a
vase. He grabs me and buries his head into my back.

“You smell good,” he says. I turn to face him and his mouth
is on mine. He is warm and I push myself close to him. His tongue probes my
mouth and I reach for his belt.

“Jayni, stop,” he says. “Let me love you. Don’t make this
about sex.”

I am amazed by him. No man has ever liked me this much,
despite how many have liked doing plenty of things with me. It makes me feel
good, but I am also horny as hell.

“Liam, I need to tell you something.” We go to my couch and
he sits by me, holding my hands. “My job, it’s complicated.”

“How so?”

I explain what I do and Liam looks intrigued. He does not
run for the door, so I suppose that’s a good start. I leave out names, but tell
him about my various clients. Then I explain that I saw Mike and Maria today
and what they are asking.

“I invited them over tomorrow night, but I needed to see
you first, to find out how you feel about all of this.”

“Are you asking my permission?”

“I really like you Liam, but I need a job. I don’t want to
push you away, though. I admit my feelings for Mike are complicated, but I have
denied him and will continue to do so if you think we have a chance.”

He kisses me and strokes my back. “Jayni, what you do for
work is your business, but yes, it does bother me picturing you with other men.
I would like to try to have a relationship with you, but that means I will have
to be enough.”

“You’re enough,” I tell him and suddenly I am crying. I
have enjoyed being screwed by different men lately and I thought I had fallen
for Mike. Maybe I am incapable of serious commitment. Liam tests my patience,
but perhaps it is what I need. He won’t touch me intimately and he is making me
wait. The fact that he is interested in knowing me, that he comes over when I
call him, makes me think it is worth trying. I will just have to find another
job and tell Mike and Maria no.

“Would it be okay if I came over tomorrow night? I am
afraid they may be too convincing.” His jealousy and desire to protect me warms
me and I agree. He makes me dinner and we talk about our lives, not touching
and not bringing up sex. When it gets late, he kisses me goodbye. I can’t help
being attracted to him, and I can tell he is feeling the same, but he manages
to leave without more than a few passionate kisses.

Left alone in my apartment, I am horny, but I don’t want to
do anything stupid. I go to my room and take out my vibrator. Thinking of Liam,
I massage my clit until I come. Maybe I can do this.

L
iam arrives before Mike and Maria. He brought wine, but
given the circumstances, I fear it will dangerous. I put the wine in the
cabinet so we can have it after they leave. I need to be completely alert
tonight. I need to be able to say no when Mike’s gorgeous blue eyes make their
way down my body and stare at the place between my legs. Just picturing him
gets me going, but I try to act normal.

I dressed in a business suit, trying to appear
professional. I even wore nylons; now it will be harder for things to get out
of hand. When Mike and Maria arrive, I see them sizing me up and Maria ogles
Liam’s crotch. Hell no, I think. She is not seeing it before I do!

The four of us feign formality and sit down around the
kitchen table for dinner. I made lasagna and we eat in quiet, each of watching
the others. I think we may survive the meal when a foot slides up into my skirt
and begins rubbing back and forth between my legs. No one acknowledges what
happens under the table, but the foot is bare and the toes tickle my pussy. The
nylon and my thong stop them from being able to do much else and I try to focus
on eating. It continues for the rest of the meal and I can barely stand up when
the time comes to clear the table.

We move into den and I see Maria slip her shoe back on. She
winks at me when I notice. Maria and Mike each sits in a chair; they leave the
couch to me and Liam.

“Well,” Mike says. “Does your boyfriend intend to stay? I
thought this was a business meeting.”

Liam clears his throat. “I am well aware of the type of
business she has been doing for you, and I promised I would be here tonight. As
you know, she struggles to control her addiction and you are not helping. She
will not be coming back to work for you, because I would rather my girlfriend
not sleep with other men.”

Maria laughs. “I don’t think she has done a lot of sleeping.”

Liam glares and I am grateful he has come to my rescue.
“Jayni has an appetite that is a bit of a challenge to a serious relationship,
but I am willing to try. I would appreciate it if you would show her some
respect and allow her to try to kick her habit.”

It’s interesting hearing him talk about it like that. I
suppose I am an addict. After my interview, all I have thought about is sex and
now, with Liam, I am starting to remember who I am. I can’t pretend, though,
that I don’t have a desire to see this “meeting” devolve into something a
little more fun.

“I have a proposal,” Maria offers. “How do you feel about
other women?”

Liam shrugs. “I won’t pretend it doesn’t get me excited. Is
that something Jayni is into?”

“Jayni,” Maria prods. I remember her pussy and I would say
I have been more into women than Liam could imagine.

“I like it,” I say. It is the first time I have spoken and
I can’t believe how much I am letting Liam dominate the conversation. I don’t
feel bad about it, though; instead, I like that he is making the tough
decisions that I know I could not make alone.

“What if Jayni entertains the clients in a different
manner? Many of them like to watch, and I could certainly be available to help
Jayni with her appointments.”

“So she would only be with you?” Liam asks. He is
considering it and I think this is a good arrangement. It will be difficult
enough not being with Liam, but at least I won’t be completely left out to dry.

“Yes, just me.”

“I like that deal. Jayni?”

“It works,” I say.

Mike stands. “Well then, it’s settled.” He sounds upset and
I see his giant erection. I am sure he is beyond frustrated.

“You can fuck Maria here,” I offer. “I don’t want to hurt
you.”

Liam agrees. “I’d actually like to see what Jayni will be
doing with Maria, if you would not mind, so perhaps we can move this to the
bedroom? I have no problem letting you finish Maria off when the time comes.”

It sounds like a perfect arrangement, so the four of us
move to the bedroom. Mike and Liam sit in chairs on opposite sides of the bed.
Maria lies back on the bed and removes her dress. I am still fully dressed and
I do not have any toys except my vibrator, so I am not sure how to go about
doing this. Maria spreads her legs for me and I decide I will figure it out. I
take out my vibrator and let Maria use it on her clit while I undress. When I
am naked, I lie down on top of her and take the vibrator, moving it to my own
clit. She slips her fingers into me and I do the same to her. We rock back and
forth, finger fucking one another. The vibrator has made my clit huge and I
can’t believe how much the rushing blood hurts. I am hornier than ever and now
there is no cock to fix it.

I slide down Maria’s body and get my mouth over her pussy.
She is wet and I use my tongue to part the lips, hearing her moan my name. I
move my tongue out of her pussy and suck her clit until she screams out. She
comes and I lick her pussy again to get some of the juices clear.

“Let me reciprocate,” Maria says and she moves off the bed.
I sit on the end of the bed and Maria kneels between my legs. She takes my
vibrator and inserts it, stimulating me so that I cry out. I look and see the
huge bulges both Liam and Mike are sporting.

“Jerk off for me,” I demand. They are happy to do so.
Liam’s dick is wonderful. It is big and smooth and I can’t help but stare at it
as Maria shoves my vibrator in and out of me. I want to be with him, but I know
he will refuse.

Maria takes out the vibrator and starts teasing me with her
tongue. I get crazy and when she moves her tongue to my asshole, I scream out.
Mike and Liam are stroking their cocks with vigor now and it is all I can do
not to come right away. Maria moves her tongue back to my clit. It is throbbing
and she sucks it hard until the orgasm forces my legs up into the air.

“Fuck. Yes!” Her tongue works until I am done and we both
watch the guys rubbing themselves raw.

Maria lies face down on the bed and puts her ass in the
air. “Oh, Mike...” She calls out. He almost jumps from his chair and brings his
dick down to her cunt. I want to be jealous, but I have no right. I watch it
thrust in and out, the entire shaft disappearing and then moving back out. Her
lips open and close around it and I take my vibrator and force it up inside of
me, lying on the floor watching them fuck. Liam cries out as he comes and I am
the only one still in agony after Maria and Mike fuck themselves silly.

Maria and Mike leave and it is just me and Liam. I am still
on the ground, naked, my pussy wrapped around my vibrator, the motor struggling
to be enough as I try to get off. Liam walks over to me, now fully dressed, and
kisses my forehead.

“I will see you this weekend,” he says.

“No, wait,” I beg.

“Jayni, if you are good and do everything I ask, I will
help you out. But until I know I can trust you, I suggest you get a dildo.”
