Wilson's Hard Lesson (68 page)

Her legs felt like jelly as she walked around to the other
side of his desk.

“Get down on your knees…I wanna know how good you are with
that pretty mouth of yours…”

Alexis felt her eyes widening. If there was any doubt in her
mind about Bradley’s intentions beforehand, there certainly weren’t anymore.

She probably should have walked out at that point, or
slapped him and told him she would never do something like that, but there was
something about it that was just…hot. She’d never really considered herself a
kinky person before but…the idea of getting on her knees in the office, of
taking him into her mouth, when there were all those other people out there, just
a few feet away. Anyone could hear, or walk in.

Just as she’d had that very thought, and was simultaneously
about to lower herself to her knees in between Bradley’s powerful thighs, the
door to the office flung open unexpectedly and a man she could only assume to
be Bradley’s brother stormed in. Very similar in build, height and looks, only
a few years older, Brendan Briar was also extremely good looking, but he had a
stormy expression in his eye when he glared at his younger brother that gave
Alexis quite a fright, not to mention his sudden entrance that nearly scared
her out of her wits. There she was, about to start giving his younger brother a
blowjob, and suddenly the other one was in the room too. If he’d have arrived
just a few minutes later, they would surely have been caught in the act.

The thought of it brought the blush fresh to her cheeks
again and her eyes widened as she took a few steps back away from Bradley as if
to distance herself from him.

“Bradley, get the hell out,” Brendan snapped at his brother
and clicked his fingers before pointing to the door.

Bradley glowered and leapt to his feet, stalking up to the
elder sibling and almost squaring up to him. “Or what?”

“Just leave. This wasn’t even supposed to be your
interview.”

“You were late.”

“You were early. I wonder why.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You saw her picture.”

“So did you. You said she was hot.”

“Bradley! Get out!”

The bickering had taken place right in front of Alexis and
left her even more confused and embarrassed than previously. Had Brendan really
discussed how hot she was with his brother? Were they both interested in her?

Bradley, meanwhile, was rolling his eyes and pouting like a
teenager before grabbing his briefcase and jacket and storming out the room with
a huff, slamming the door behind him.

“I’m sorry about that,” Brendan immediately apologized. “I
hope he didn’t make you feel too…uncomfortable. Or try to make you do anything
you didn’t want. Bradley has this knack of being able to…persuade people…it’s
why he’s so good in business. And in other areas.” He smirked slightly out the
corner of his mouth, a smirk that was eerily similar to his brother’s then
walked around to sit down at the desk where Bradley had been sat. “Please, do
take a seat. I’m Brendan, by the way.” He offered out his hand and smiled
politely. “Nice to meet you.”

Alexis managed to gather herself together enough to extend
her own hand and shake the elder brother’s. “Nice to meet you too,” she said as
she took the seat. “I’m Alexis.”

“I know who you are, I’ve got all your details right
here…now uh…I apologize once again for being a little late to the interview. I
had some other business to attend to.”

“It’s really no problem.”

“My brother has probably already asked you a bunch of questions,
I should imagine?”

“Yes, quite a few.”

“Well then, I’ll try and keep this as short as possible, but
I’m afraid there’ll probably be some repetition.”

“That’s all right.” She gave him a small smile and he began
to ask her one or two things about why she wanted to work for the company. It
was, as he had warned her, much the same as the questions his younger brother
had asked her, but by this time she was starting to relax and having already
had practice answering the questions the first time around, she honed her
technique and gave much better, more concise yet fuller answers and, in her
opinion, did much better this time. It helped that Brendan wasn’t roaming his
eyes up and down her body all the time like Bradley had been, although he most
definitely stared at her cleavage on more than one occasion and his eyes seemed
to focus there for much longer than was necessary.

That didn’t bother her too much though. At least he wasn’t
insinuating she should give him a blowjob or any other kind of sexual favor,
and he made her feel so relaxed that she soon started to forget about her
earlier embarrassment at nearly getting caught in the act. Just as long as she
kept her focus on answering the questions and not thinking about Brendan’s
beautiful eyes or cheekbones, she would be fine.

Once the standard round of questions had finished however,
he asked her something a little more unusual and something she wasn’t
expecting.

“How would you feel about business trips?”

The question threw her slightly but she quickly recovered.
“That wouldn’t be a problem, providing I had some notice so I could arrange
things at home.”

“Ah yes, of course. What is your home environment, by the
way, just out of interest? Husband, kids? That kind of thing?” He narrowed his
eyes slightly.

“Oh no, nothing like that,” she shook her head.

His shoulders relaxed and he seemed relieved, although
Alexis told herself that was just her imagination.

“It’s just me and my mother,” she continued. “But she’s not
very well at the moment and needs someone to take care of her. We have an
assistant who comes in sometimes. If I was going away on a business trip, I’d
just have to make sure I made arrangements for her to visit, that’s all. But it
shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Ah, I see. Well, that’s certainly good news,” he smiled.
“Some of these would be extended business trips, up to a week or two weeks
long, and we would potentially be going all over the States and perhaps all
over the world. How would you feel about occasionally having to share
accommodation, things like that? Would it make you uncomfortable or…?”

Alexis was a little confused at this point, as Brendan
hadn’t really explained these business trips fully.

“Er…when you say ‘we’…what do you uh…” She trailed off and
Brendan thankfully picked up on what she was saying.

“Oh, I beg your pardon. I mean, you and I…the two of us
together.”

“Oh.” She gasped slightly and sat upright. She most
certainly hadn’t been expecting that. “You’re…looking for some kind of…personal
assistant? I was under the impression it was just an office job…”

“If that’s going to be a problem…”

“No, no, it’s not a problem,” she quickly answered, not
wanting to pass on the opportunity seeing as a PA job would probably involve
more money. “It just wasn’t what I expected.”

“Well, nothing’s set in stone yet.” He gave her a small
smile. “I just wanted to know where the boundaries were and whether it would be
something you
might
be interested in in the future. I’m not looking for
someone right this minute but…it’s been something I’ve had on my mind for a
while. At some point, I will be looking to take someone on in that capacity if
you feel it’s a role you’d be willing to take on.”

“I…certainly wouldn’t have any objection,” she replied.

“Good. And…with regard to sharing accommodation? I know some
people might feel a little uncomfortable about that…”

“No, no, it’s fine.”

Just the fact that he had even asked her about that made her
feel a lot more comfortable about it in the first place. She couldn’t imagine
his younger brother being so polite as to ask. He would just assume that she
wouldn’t refuse him which…to be fair, she probably wouldn’t. Still, Brendan
seemed like a proper gentleman and that was just as hot as the rough and ready younger
brother. She smiled to herself slightly as she thought about them…both hot in
their own unique way.

“Well, that’s excellent news. I’ll put you down on the list
for potential PAs then,” he gave her another of his winning smiles.

“That’s if I get the job, of course.”

“Oh, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.” He winked at her, then
stood up and offered out his hand to her again. “Thanks very much for coming
in.”

“It’s no problem.” She stood up too and shook his hand.
“Thanks for seeing me…thanks for giving me the opportunity.”

“Someone will get back to you in a couple of days,
hopefully.”

“Thanks very much.”

He showed her to the door then shook her hand once more and
asked whether she needed someone to show her out. She told him she could
remember how to get back down to the lobby and thanked him once again for the
interview and his hospitality.

She set off down the corridor, through the large office
space where, once more, a couple of people glanced up and looked at her,
perhaps wondering whether she’d be joining them in a few days’ time. She smiled
at them cheerfully, feeling quite positive about how the interview had gone as
she arrived at the elevator.

She pressed the button to call it and waited.

Then, all of a sudden, she felt a hand on her backside.

A firm, dominant hand that promptly squeezed her butt cheeks
before giving them a slap then chuckling and moving away.

She tensed up and gasped, then spun around to find Bradley
just behind her shoulder.

He slid an arm around her waist and leaned in, pressing a
kiss to her neck.

Alexis was quite sure that if it had been anyone else, she
would have squealed and slapped him, but as soon as she saw Bradley, she seemed
to melt into his arms and even half closed her eyes a little, his gorgeous
scent swamping her nostrils and taking over her senses the closer he got.

 “I hope I’ll be seeing more of you around here,” he purred
into her ear. “Then maybe we can pick up where we left off.”

Just then, the doors of the elevator pinged open and he
quickly let her go as a couple of people stepped out.

She looked behind her but he was already walking off back to
the office, a confident swagger in his step.

She shuddered slightly and hurried into the elevator, her
cheeks flushed.

She made her way back home, her head filled with thoughts of
the two brothers, often turning to inappropriateness as she imagined them with
no clothes on, thinking about their muscular, toned bodies and wondering how
fit they looked underneath those tight button up shirts they both wore.

Still, she tried not to get her hopes up that she would ever
see either of them again, despite how the interview had gone, and by the time
she got back home, she was starting to think that the interview hadn’t actually
gone all that well at all. She tried to analyze it as she made some dinner for
her mother, the kitchen awash with pleasant smells and the radio on in the
background.

It was certainly the most unusual interview she’d ever
attended, but what if Bradley essentially asking her to give him a blowjob had
been some sort of test? What if the two brothers always used that tactic in
interviews, to suss out who was the most responsible and unaffected candidate?
What if they actually wanted someone who got offended, said no, and stormed out
of the office? What if they were just really good actors and had made up that
whole argument they’d had as part of the interview process? So many questions
swam through her head and made her dizzy.

And even if that weren’t true, she still began to doubt that
she had answered the questions to the best of her ability. As she ran through
them, remembering them, she suddenly thought of a whole bunch of other things
she could have said to add to her answers or make them sound more professional.

By the time she was taking the food up to her mom, she had
all but convinced herself that she
hadn’t
got the job.

Of course, her mom asked her about it and wanted to know all
the details.

She told her as much as she dared, whilst making sure that
she ate the majority of her dinner, then gave her some more painkillers and
helped her to the bathroom.

She mentioned the questions that she’d been asked, but left
out the part about Bradley heavily flirting with her and then the two brothers arguing
right in front of her.

She did mention the possibility of some personal assistant
work in the future though, and her mother seemed over the moon at the idea.

“You see, I told you…I knew you’d do well…”

“We don’t know if I’ve got the job yet, Mom.”

“Oh sweetheart, I’m sure you have. Sounds like you did
everything right. They really like you, these brothers.”

Alexis felt herself blush. “I…I hope so.”

“I bet you’ll hear back from them within the week. Your
mother’s always right, dear.” She chuckled weakly and Alexis smiled too,
helping her back into bed.

On this occasion though, her mother
was
right.

Before the week was out, she had a phone call.

The number flashed up on her phone as withheld and she
initially wasn’t going to answer, assuming it was some spam caller hoping to
sell her something.

In the end, she wasn’t sure why she
did
answer it,
but she just seemed to get a weird feeling out of nowhere that urged her to
pick up the call and she was glad that she did.

“Alexis?”

The voice on the other end seemed familiar, but she couldn’t
place it immediately.

“Yes?”

“It’s Brendan. Brendan Briar.”

Her heart skipped a beat.

“B-Brendan…hi…”

“Hi there.” She could hear him smiling on the other end of
the line. “How are you?”

“I’m…I’m fine…how are you?”

Her hands were trembling by this point and she could barely
hold the phone with her nerves and excitement. Surely he wouldn’t be ringing
her to tell her she
hadn’t
got the job? It had to be good news at this
point.
