Chapter 23

Waking up next to Rebecca was oddly comforting. Not in a way that I had
feelings for her, but just because we actually didn’t mind waking up with each
other. It was the first glimpse into relationship type wake-up sex that I had
seen in a very long time.

For me, Rebecca was a means to an end. I had a sexual need that I had to
have fulfilled and she offered me an easy and comfortable outlet for that need.
Unfortunately,
I still couldn’t help
myself.

As I woke up to a morning cock that was hard and ready, the best option
laid right next to me.

My arms wrapped around her and I let my hand play with her tits as my
cock pressed up against her ass. The morning wood was ready to play and I need
Rebecca to wake up and play with me.

“Mmmm, good morning baby,” she said as her hand reached back and stroked
me.

I closed my eyes and let my body take in the pleasure. My cock throbbed
with a need that I knew only this woman in bed with me could fulfill, at least
at that moment.

Slowly, I squeezed her nipples to arouse her, then I let one of my hands
trace down to her pussy as I started to play with her. My fingers slid up and
down her cock, enticing her to moan loudly. With a quick
movement,
I slid into her and felt her
excitement. My body reacted with the unstoppable urge to fill her up.

Strategically, I pulled her hips back toward me so I could slide into her
wetness from behind. She felt like
heaven
.
The folds of her body wrapping around me brought me close to the end within the
first thirty seconds.

I couldn’t be defeated so easily, so I slowed my thrusts and enjoyed the
delicate nature of the moment. My hands held onto her large tits, my body naked
against hers as we moved in motion with each other. It was a romantic and delightful
feeling.

When my desire got close to exploding, I let my hand move back down to
her clit to help her finish with me. Harder and faster we moved together until
we both had the ecstasy of an
explosion
that we desired.

I went straight to the shower and Rebecca was close behind me. We washed
each other and talked about the day like an old married couple. I was
comfortable with
Rebecca
but felt a
little bad that I didn’t have that sexual attraction to her like she had toward
me.

It was nice to be that comfortable with a woman though and made me think
I might want to calm my wild ways and settle down someday. It wasn’t a for
sure
epiphany, but an idea that I paid
attention to and would likely remember the next time I was out with
Alicia.
 

“So, tell me about Alicia’s house, did you find the files you were
looking for?” Rebecca said as she got out of the shower and dried off.

“Nope, I was only able to find the room. I don’t see how I am ever going
to be able to have enough time in that room to find what I need.”

“Yeah, it doesn’t sound very promising. Maybe you could drug her?”

The idea of
drugging
Alicia was so
preposterous that I had to laugh. I wasn’t going to drug her, that was so far
into the illegal world that it scared me to even have the conversation with
Rebecca.

“Um, no. Absolutely not going to drug her.”

“Why not? I mean, you’ve already participated in insider trading and
broke into her private file room at her office. What’s the issue with drugging
her?”

Rebecca seemed
totally
and utterly
serious in her question and it worried me. She didn’t seem to care about the
difference between looking in a file room and potentially causing bodily harm
to someone. It was a new side of her and I didn’t like it.

“Rebecca, I’m not drugging her. What other ideas do you have?”

“I don’t know. I liked the chloroform idea.
It
is quick, it’s not going to harm her.”

I just shook my head back and forth and grabbed a towel to dry off.
Suddenly, I wanted to get as far away from Rebecca as I could. She was a
risk-taker
in a whole different way than I was.
Her willingness to drive erratically had surprised
me, but
now talking about drugging Alicia I got a really bad
feeling.

“I better get going. Thanks for a fun night.”

I got dressed and grabbed my things. Maybe it was the way Rebecca so
willingly talked about hurting someone or maybe it was the intimate nature of
waking up next to a woman for the third time in our
relationship, but
I needed to leave.

“If you get a chance to look at her files for a little bit, try to find
the payroll or the sales ledger. I think those will be the most telling for
what we are looking for.”

Rebecca took the hint very well and seemed to have no issue with me
leaving. That was why she made such a good friend with benefits; she didn’t
latch on like one of those crazy women.

“I’ll talk to you later at work,” I said as I left and headed to the
driveway to wait for my car to pick me up.

“Oh, Evan!” Rebecca said as she came flying out of her townhouse.

“Yeah?”

“I have the perfect idea for how you can get Alicia to let you into her
place. Not sure you will get enough time to actually look at the
files,
though.”

“What’s the plan?”

“Offer to make her dinner. She’ll be totally into it and you can at least
get more comfortable at her place.”

“
Thanks,
Rebecca!”

She leaned in for a hug and I had to admit she was a good friend. I had
expected that she was going to freak out on me after all that drugging someone
talk. I was instantly put at ease now. She was a good friend; obviously Rebecca
just wanted to help me.

The drive back to my place was long and my mind was filled with thoughts
and ideas. I needed to make some progress on getting the financial records for
ALL Warren Clothing. The risk was getting more and more the longer I sat on my
investment. The problem was, I had started to actually care about Alicia.
Caring about somebody made it really hard to investigate them for fraud.

My brain buzzed with ways that I could get into the file room at Alicia’s
house and I have to admit; Rebecca’s idea to drug Alicia ran through my head
also. Of course I wouldn’t do it, but the thought just kept popping into my
mind.

I also liked the idea of making dinner, but it seemed that I still
wouldn’t be able to get into the file room without being noticed. My original
thought was to fuck her into passing out from exhaustion, but since she
wouldn’t let me get that close to
her,
that idea wasn’t top on my list anymore.

Every time we got close, Alicia would pull away. It was like she
remembered some reason why she didn’t want to be close to me and she would back
off from her obvious feelings. I couldn’t figure her out. She liked me, she was
attracted to me, I could see it in her eyes. Why wouldn’t she just give in to
that desire? I didn’t have the answers to that.

She had some deep reasons for wanted to stay away from me. It couldn’t be
because I was a stock broker though because I had told her I was a real estate
investor. There was no legitimate reason for her not to be with me; unless she
actually didn’t like me at all. I had never actually thought about that as an
option. Up until that very moment I had always assumed she did like me and our
physical chemistry was enough for us to move forward. But perhaps, Alicia
wanted something more in her man. Perhaps Alicia wasn’t looking for a man like
me at all.

Maybe Alicia didn’t want to date me because I living in New York and she
was planning on moving back to Illinois? That was certainly a possibility that
I had not considered before.

As I climbed into my own bed for an early afternoon nap, I couldn’t help
but imagine that Alicia would look fabulous naked in my bed. Her red hair and
fair skin against my dark blue satin sheets would be worthy of a picture for
sure.

The thought of her naked in my bed was enough to help me drift off to
sleep and have some amazing dreams. Every imaginable sexual dream I could have,
I had that afternoon with Alicia on my mind.

Chapter 24

I just couldn’t get back into my normal routine at the office. It was
constantly difficult for me to concentrate. Mostly due to my thoughts of Alicia
and her company, which consumed much of my time in the mornings.

Instead of analyzing new companies, I had become obsessed with trying to
figure out what was going on with Alicia’s. Her company stock was growing
faster than any of my other holdings and I needed to make a decision. I needed
to get out of it or continue to ride it by investing more. The only way I could
make that decision was to figure out what was going on.

“Mr. Gade, you have a visitor,” Darla the temp said through the speaker.

I didn’t typically have visitors that I wasn’t expecting.

“Who is it?”

“Ms. Warren from ALL Warren Clothing.”

I froze.

I had told Alicia that I was a real estate investor, I had told her many
things. The lies and truths were confused in my head at this point. What was
she doing at my office?

“Um, send her in.”

Alicia walked into my office and shut the door behind her. She looked
relaxed and certainly not upset that I had lied to her about what I did for a
living.

“So, I can’t take it anymore. Why didn’t you tell me you were a
stock,
investor?”

My mind raced as I tried to figure out if I should keep my cover, or if
there was any way to keep it. I couldn’t think of a logical explanation.
Obviously, I was sitting in the middle of a very large office with my name on
the door. It was time to confess.

“I didn’t want to freak you out with you IPO.”

“You do remember that I saw you on the stock exchange floor, right?”

“Oh Fuck!”

I was so stupid. Of course, yes I had rescued her away from Bill
Yobi
when she rang the bell on the stock
exchange floor. My brain was total mush when it came to details about life,
which was extremely strange since I did so well when it came to details about
stocks.

“So I got tired of waiting for you to stop lying to me. I need this out
in the open. If it’s an issue, then let’s talk about it. If it’s not an issue,
let’s move on.”

“It’s not an issue for me. I just thought you wouldn’t want to hang
around a guy who was buying up shares of your stock.”

“It bothered me more that you lied.”

She walked toward me and I could see in her eyes that this lie had been
the reason she distanced herself from me. She wanted to know the truth and I
kept talking about real estate and lying to her. It was a
stupid
lie, really I didn’t get any inside
trading information; there was no reason we couldn’t be friends.

Now if I had been able to get the hidden financials of the company, that
would have been a different story. But I had not seen any of them yet and I
still wasn’t sure Alicia even now what was going on with her company. Perhaps
there wasn’t anything going on at all, I really had no idea. My whole theory
about her company seemed ludicrous now that I knew her and knew what her
personality was.

She wasn’t the type of person who would try and defraud people. At least
I didn’t think she was. My usual instincts seemed off because of my desire to
ravage her body. My thoughts of Alicia’s naked body kept me awake at night. It
was worse than any other woman that I had thought about in a very long time.

Her body; that damn, perfectly formed body. She stood in front of me
waiting for some sort of epiphany from me about why I had lied about my job.
But all I could think about was that her bra was visible through the white
t-shirt she had on. Her jeans fit perfectly around her ass, and my desk would
be a really good place for her naked body to lie down.

“Come here,” I said as I grabbed her hand and walked her over to my desk.

Gently I placed my hands on her hips and lifted her onto the mahogany
top. I spread her legs to either side of me and slowly pulled her body towards
my pelvis as I leaned into her.

“Is this how you apologize?” she asked with a little smile.

“Yes,” I said as my lips moved to her neck and I kissed her delicate
skin.

“I don’t think this is how you are supposed to apologize.”

“Mmm, that’s funny; I think it’s the perfect way to apologize.”

My hands gripped her thighs and I let them move firmly up and down her
tight denim pants. I wanted to reach up and rip her pants off, but I knew that
was too fast for her. Alicia wanted the song and dance. She needed the buildup
of romance; oh I could give her what she wanted.

I cupped her cheeks and held her
face
in front of mine. The moment required some attention. It was the first time our
eyes had stayed locked onto one another’s for any good period of time.

She was so beautiful, so innocent, I wanted to just blurt out the
concerns I had for her and her company. I wanted to ask her all the questions
that still haunted me, but I didn’t want her to hate me. There was more at
stake than just an investment; I couldn’t turn her against me.

The intense look between us was finally broken when Alicia leaned in and
kissed me. It was filled with passion and my cock got hard instantly with a
desire
for her. I knew she felt it. I wanted
her to feel it. I wanted Alicia to know just how bad my body ached to be inside
of her.

I pulled her hips tight against me and thrust my pelvis toward her
slowly. My cock pressed on her center as her legs wrapped around me tight. Oh,
how I wanted to free myself from the confines of my pants and feel the sweet
pleasure of her folds wrapped around me. It was too much to even imagine and I
felt the drops of excitement leak from my tip.

Our mouths intertwined with each other and I felt her tongue and its
passion for me. Something had changed in the way Alicia looked at me. Something
had changed in her desire for me. I liked it and I wanted more of this new
passion.

We let our hands explore each other as our bodies pressed hard against
one another.

“I think I should go,” Alicia whispered and then pushed me away.

“No, you don’t have to go. You should stay. You should take that shirt off
and stay for awhile,” I said and playfully tugged at the hem of her t-shirt.

“I really do need to get going. I just didn’t want there to be that
stupid lie between us. Now we have it cleared up and can move forward.”

“Yes, let’s move forward right now. I’ll start,” I reached for the top
button of my shirt.

“Stop, Evan. I’m not having sex with you in your office.”

“Are you sure? I mean we are in my office already and I can have this
shirt off in no time.”

Alicia laughed, but then slid down from my desk and moved toward the
door. She seemed much more comfortable around me, so for that I was very
grateful. The flirting and chemistry between us had increased by double since
the last time I saw her; perhaps the lie about my job had been holding her
back.
 

“Oh, I forgot to ask you if you wanted to have a night of fun with me
later,” Alicia giggled and I couldn’t stop staring at her.

Her smile mesmerized me, it was
sweet
wholesomeness was something I could have only dreamed about.
Yet there
it was right in front of me, a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. Her
breasts pressed hard against the white t-shirt and her head tilted back with
her laugh.

“I’d love a night of fun with you,” I said as I winked. “But I suppose
your idea of a night of fun and mine are probably totally different.”

“I’m pretty sure they are.”

Alicia had a mischievous smile that intrigued me. I could tell her night
of fun wasn’t going to be the two of us naked in a bedroom, but that was alright.
I liked the idea of spending more time with her. It would get me one step
closer to having her naked in bed. It might also give me the information I
needed to figure out the mystery of her company.

“So what time should I come pick you up? Is it tonight?”

“Yes, tonight. Swing by my place around eight o’clock and we can go have
some fun.”

Alicia leaned in and tried to give me a quick peck on the
cheek,
but I couldn’t let her go. I grabbed
onto her ass and pressed her up against the bookcase. My body throbbed for her.
I needed more—
a taste,
a touch, anything
more. I couldn’t just let her leave. This was the first time she had been so
willing to be vulnerable. I didn’t want it to end.

My hands slipped under her t-shirt and she gasped as my fingers touched
the skin of her belly. I delighted in the reaction I got. Her body pressed
toward me and she moaned with delight. It urged me on to go farther, to see just
how much she was willing to allow.

“I’ll be to your place at eight o’clock right on the dot,” I whispered
quietly as I let my lips move down to kiss her exposed stomach.

I was on my knees with her pinned against the bookshelf. My lips had to
explore.

Over her
jeans,
I let my lips kiss
down the front of her pants and rest between her delicious legs. She didn’t
stop me. Alicia spread herself open so my mouth could put pressure
on
her delicate flower.

Every muscle in my body contracted as I tried not to rip those denim
jeans off of her. My hands gripped the top of them and held on tightly. If the
buttons had let
loose,
there was no way I
could have refused myself. I needed to taste her. I needed to feel the release
of pleasure from her body as I brought her to happiness.

But it couldn’t happen just yet and I knew it. Alicia wasn’t ready. She
needed more time. We had already seen each other give times. Soon she would be
mine and I knew it. Especially after playing with her in my office, I knew she
wanted me just as badly as I wanted her.

“Tonight will be date six,” Alicia said with her hands in my hair.

I slowly stood up and kissed her. My lips pressed hard against hers and
again I had to let my bulge rub against her so she knew just how excited she
made me.

“No. Tonight will be seven,” I teased. “This is date six. I just gave you
your goodnight kiss.”

She laughed and went along with my logic. Alicia was a fun loving girl
with a great sense of humor. Certainly someone I liked to hang out with.
Certainly someone I wanted to hang out with naked.

“Alright, I’ll let you have your date six. But only because date seven
sounds like it will be our lucky number.”

“I like to get lucky,” I said as I walked her toward the door of my
office.

“I know you do.”

“So are you saying I’m going to get lucky tonight?”

“Well you’ll be on a date with me, so of course you’ll be lucky.”

That was good enough for me. I leaned in and gave her one last quick kiss
and then watched as she left my office and walked through the crowd of brokers.

I was a horrible liar. That was one thing I knew very well. I had totally
forgotten about telling Alicia I was a real estate investor, and then I had
seen here right in the middle of the stock market floor. I guess being a bad
liar wasn’t the worst thing in the world. My honest was sometimes
brutal
but never mean. I valued people and
could honestly talk my way around most situations. But lying to a woman had
never been my thing.

Most women, even one night stands, valued honesty. Sometimes I had to
omit information, but I never purposely tried to lie. It had been a stupid
mistake to try and do it with Alicia and I hoped it had not changed the way she
trusted me in the future.
