Chapter 4

Even though Danica was a size sixteen, she had tried as much as she could to keep a handle on the parts of her body she still had control of. She worked out as much as she could and tried eating healthy and as a result, she had a beautifully firm tummy and a well-rounded firm ass. She had on a long sleeved plum bandage dress that reached just over the knee and a pair of nude colored peep toe heels. As usual, she had on minimal makeup, just enough to highlight her features. She was also not sporting her natural African American curls anymore. She had straightened out her hair and it was brushing softly against her shoulders. She was just about to leave when she heard the front door open and close.

“You home, Dani?” she heard Pillar calling out.

“In my room,” Danica said as she picked up a coat and her purse. “Why are you home so early?” she asked as she walked to the living room.

“It was a slow day and I kind of need to…”Pillar’s voice trailed off when she saw Danica. “Wow,” she said when she saw her roommate. “Where are you going looking like that?” she asked as she looked at Danica from head to toe.

“A date, I think,” Danica said in a soft voice.

“You think?” Pillar shook her head. “I have never seen that dress which makes me think that there is a special occasion planned.”

“You could say that again,”
she said in a soft voice. She put on her coat and smiled at Pillar. “I’m getting late. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow,” she said as she walked towards the door.

“Whoa. So I shouldn’t wait up?” Pillar asked but all Danica did was smile at her. She was not about to tell her where she was headed. She had not thought out her cover story yet. All she knew was that she could not tell her the truth. It was a little too much for Pillar as far as Danica was concerned.

“I am headed to my boss’ place where he is going to fuck me and probably tie me up.”
She shook her head as she rode in the elevator. It was settled. She most definitely couldn’t tell Pillar the truth.

When she got downstairs, she walked to her car and set the address on her phone. Her heart was beating hard in anticipation as she began driving to Adam’s place a calm few blocks away. When she got there, she looked at her phone and sighed before walking into the building. She was taking long deep breaths trying to calm herself as she walked towards the elevator. She used the key card Adam had given her the previous day and then made her way up to the penthouse where he was waiting for her. When she saw how casual he looked, she felt a little silly. He was in a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Matter of fact, he looked like he had just woken up.

“Miss Rayne,” he said smiling. He took a step forward and pulled her into himself. She closed her eyes and inhaled his rich cologne. He pulled away and looked at her before he gently pushed the coat off her shoulders. She looked at him as he held the back of her neck and leaned in to kiss her. “Your hair,” he started as he moved his hand upward raking his fingers through her silky straight hair.

“I just thought I would do something different for you,” she said and he smiled.

“You always look perfect,” he said as his eyes ran down her body. “Can I get you something to eat or drink? Some wine maybe?”

“Wine sounds good,” she said in a soft voice.

He nodded and began walking to the kitchen as she followed close behind. She was not very sure what she was expecting because this was definitely not a conventional date.

“Thanks,” she said when he handed her a glass. She placed her purse on the counter and took a sip. He was looking into her eyes as he raised his glass at her and began taking a long sip. Like the Pinot at the restaurant, this was one of the best wines she had ever tasted. The next five or so minutes seemed to drag on forever. He was just looking at her without saying anything, sipping on his wine. It was like he was studying her or something. By the time she took her final sip, it felt like the wine had gone straight to her head. He took the glass from her hand and then led her down the hallway.

“Are you taking me to your pleasure room?” she asked and he shook his head.

“I am taking you to my bedroom,” he said as he opened the door on his right. She looked around the room which was as big as her own apartment. He turned around and looked at her, his hand running down one side of her body. “First off. Pull your hair away from your face and neck.”

Danica pulled her hair back and held it in a side braid securing the bottom with a small knot. He then stood behind her and pulled down her zipped before he pushed her dress off. She was about to kick off her shoes when he shook his head.

“Leave those on,” he commanded before he walked her over to the bed. “Do you know about safe words?” he asked and she nodded. “Tell me.”

“A safe word lets you know how much is too much,” she said.

“Good girl,” he said with a smile. “Roll over. I want to spank you,” he said and she did. But what she didn’t know was that this time, he was going to do so much more. She felt a panic going through her as he secured her wrists to the bed spokes. He went ahead and secured each leg by cuffing her ankles to opposite sides of his bed. “Now, when it’s too much, just say cinnamon and I will stop. Understand?” he asked and she nodded.

“Yes sir,” she said softly.

“I only have one rule, Miss Rayne,” he started as she lay on the bed looking at one wall of his room. “Don’t cum without my permission.”

What she didn’t see was that he was holding a riding crop in his hand. He walked to the bed and began to gently whip her feet. It was not painful at first but with the consistency he was displaying, she was beginning to feel the discomfort. She breathed her relief when he began working his way up her leg. He lingered a little too long at her thighs before he finally moved to her ass. By the time he landed the first blow on her bare ass, her legs were hot and red from all the whipping. Adam was breathing hard as he looked at her and his erection was already hard. It was not just looking at Danica as she writhed in pain, it was also those beautiful moans that escaped her lips every time he landed a blow on her. He uncuffed her ankles and then her wrists before he ordered her to turn around. Her eyes were glossy as he secured her wrists above her head again. This time, he didn’t secure her legs. He didn’t think he had to. His cock got even harder as he looked at her bare breasts. She looked too perfect. He began using the crop on her breasts and her nipples responded almost immediately. This time, she did not just moan. She let out a scream when he used the crop harder than he intended to. He then got on the bed and pulled down his sweatpants presenting his cock to her. She eagerly took him into her mouth and he began kneading her breasts with his free hand.

“Spread your legs,” he commanded and she did it almost immediately. She was taking him almost balls deep as he gently patted the crop on her already wet pussy. She was moaning as he worked the crop on her wishing that he could just stop teasing her and give her what she wanted. He pulled away from her and reached for the top drawer of his nightstand and pulled out a condom. She watched as he rolled the latex on his girth before he settled in between her legs. He was looking down at her as he began working his length into her. She gasped when she felt his cock filling her, stretching her out. She would have wanted to hold him tightly as he claimed her over and over again.

The way Adam was working his cock into her was making her want to scream but she had never been a loud person unless the situation called for it. He went from slow strokes to hard long ones until he was no longer just going in and out of her. He was ramming himself against her pelvis so hard that he was literally knocking the air out of her mouth. She moaned her disappointment when he pulled out of her. She could feel her own wetness on his cock when it brushed against her thigh. She looked up at him as he undid the cuffs that secured her arms over her head. He then pulled her up before he quickly flipped her over getting her on all fours. She gasped when he entered her from behind again. He was so deep inside her from this position, deeper than anyone had ever been. She held on to the bed spokes as he thrust into her over and over again until she finally let lose.

“That’s right, baby,” he said as he drove himself into her. “I want to hear you.”

She wrapped her fingers tightly around the wooden spokes as she moaned out loud. She had never thought it was possible to have anyone so deep inside her without it hurting but Adam was proving her wrong with every thrust. She could feel herself closer and closer to the edge with every thrust. She had never wanted to cum so badly.

“I’m going to cum!” She cried out but he wouldn’t slow down. It was like her warning only fueled him to go harder and deeper.

“Hold it,” he commanded as he went on thrusting into her.

“I can’t, sir!”

“I. Said. Hold. It.”

He was thrusting into her after every single word and doing that was not helping. She was dangerously close to the edge and he knew it. She suddenly cried out when he spanked her ass hard and coupled that with one last thrust.

“Now!” He commanded. “Cum now!”

Danica didn’t need any second bidding. She let out a loud cry and felt herself exploding all around his cock. The wave in her pussy was so strong it forced his cock out. She collapsed on the bed and he lay next to her still shivering body. She had never had such a massive orgasm before. It was…mind blowing.

“You never used the safe word,” Adam said in an exhausted whisper.

“I didn’t see the need to,” she said as she closed her eyes.

He draped an arm over her and kissed her shoulder.

“Rest. When you wake up I will make you something to eat,” he said. She nodded.

“Maybe this is not really happening,”
she thought as she lay in his arms.
“And if it is not, I never want to wake up.”

THE END

Falling for the Titan

Chapter 1

Alana Rivers sighed loudly as she walked back into her apartment. She tossed her purse on the couch and kicked her shoes off as she made her way to the kitchen. She was still a little out of it, her mind stuck to that moment when Zoe Myers from HR called her into her office. The look Zoe had in her eyes and the rumors flying about the office about people being laid off should have been enough to make Alana know what was happening but it wasn’t. Zoe’s words had cut deep when she finally dropped the ball.

“I’m afraid that the M & M Cyber Securities can no longer afford to keep you in its employ,” Zoe had said and all Alana could do was just sit there wondering how the hell she had ended up being laid off from a company synonymous with chocolate covered candy.

“But... how…” were the only words she managed to get out of her mouth. She’d heard that there was going to be a major investor in the company to boost the company’s national profile. What she did not understand was how a company that had just had a huge influx of cash was now laying off employees.

“I know that this is a bit of a surprise,” Zoe went on and Alana shrugged as she forced out a cynical laugh.

“You could say that again,”
she thought as she rolled her eyes.

“But we’ve had to make this move to save thousands more who have families to feed, kids in school and mortgages…”

Alana rubbed her temple and sighed. Of course there was no way she was going to bitch about her job now. When it came down to her job or that lovely Marge Oakley from accounts who was putting three kids through college at the same time, of course Alana couldn’t be selfish enough to pick herself. After all, the most important bill she had to pay except for her medical cover was her cable. She sighed as she opened her refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of white wine.

“Pinot grigio,”
she thought as she looked at the bottle. “Just what the doctor ordered.”

She poured herself a glass before she made her way to the living room. She had just switched on the TV when she heard her doorbell.

“Can’t a girl catch a break today? Seriously?” she wondered out loud as she made her way to the door. She looked through the peephole and sighed when she saw Stefan D’Angelo, her brother’s best friend. She opened the door and looked at the ruggedly handsome man on her doorstep. She hated that a person who could get on her nerves so much could look so good. He was in a pair of black fitting pants and a blue pinstripe shirt. A few strands of his dark brown hair had fallen loose and were hanging loose over his intriguing grey eyes. She hated that every time she saw him, deep and sexy thoughts crossed her mind. But unfortunately for her, Stefan knew just how attractive he was and because if that he was the biggest playboy since…Tony Stark.

“You do know that I no longer live with Elliot, right?” she asked as she looked at him.

“If I wanted to see Elliot I would have been on the other side of town,” Stefan said smiling. “And isn’t it a little early for that kind of drink?” he asked and she rolled her eyes.

“It’s ten in the morning in Virginia which means it is ten in the evening in China. So cheers.” She took a sip of her drink as she made her way back into the apartment.

“So, how have you been Stefan? Fine, thank you. What about you? Well, things are a bit tough. Maybe that’s why I am drinking in the morning,” Stefan said in a cynical tone as he followed her into the living room.

“What do you want here D’Angelo?” she asked as she began flipping through the different channels.

“Well, let’s jump right into business, why don’t we?” Stefan said in a soft voice. She took a long sip of her wine and crossed one leg over the other eager to hear what kind of business had brought him all the way to her place on that Monday morning.

“What kind of business would you possibly have with me, Stefan?” she asked as she rolled her eyes.

“A little birdy told me that you no longer work at M & M Security,” Stefan started as he walked to the kitchen. He took a glass and made his way back to the living room before he poured himself a glass of wine.

“Little birdy, huh? So, pot calling the kettle black, who did you have checking up on me at M & M?” she asked as he sat down next to her.

“I didn’t have anyone checking up on you, Alana. I just put feelers out there so I can know when you are officially off my competition’s pay roll.”

“So you know I got laid off, huh?” she took a long sip of her wine. “Guess I should be doing some backflips or something.”

Stefan forced out a laugh and took a sip of his wine.

“I know you are a bit bummed out so I’ll let it slide,” he said.

“Good to know, D’Angelo. Just tell you driver to make a right instead of a left the next time you want to have some boy-talk with Elliot. Because ding dong, you are in Greenwich and not Arlington.” She took another sip of her wine. “I’m just a simple laid off employee trying to get over her terrible day.”

“If only you would stop being so damn arrogant and listen to me, Alana,” he started as he put his glass down on the coffee table.

“Arrogant?” she asked. “Have you met yourself?”

“Again, I will ignore that and move on to what brought me out here.” He looked at her and sighed. “You are the best security engineer in the state. Everyone knows that and unfortunately for me, M & M found that out before I did. But now I know that you are no longer with them, I would like you at Titan Security.”

“You want me to come and work for you?” she asked and he nodded.

“And I promise to make it worth your while too,” he said. “I will match what you were getting at M & M and double it.”

“How do you know how much I was getting at M & M?” Alana asked.

“I have my sources.”

“Yeah, the same sources that you were using to spy on me.”

“You know this is a good deal, Alana. You need a job and I need someone with your prowess at Titan.” Stefan gently forced the hair from his eyes and looked right into Alana’s brown ones. “I will even include a cash bonus if you agree.”

“Whoa… okay,” Alana said as she put her glass down next to his. “You already offered to double my current… what I was getting and now the cash bonus?” She shrugged. “What is going on?”

“Like I said, you are the best in the business and I am where I am today because I always go after the best.” He took a long, deep breath. “If you were just another person I would have sent one of my people but I had to come personally. That’s how important having you at Titan is to me.”

Alana looked at him and sighed. She could not help but wonder what kind of trick he had up his sleeve. After knowing him for as long as she had, she could not help but think that there was something more going on. Well, sure she was good at her job, but being the best? She was not very sure about that. Because if that was the case, then maybe M & M would have moved mountains to keep her. But somehow, she was one of the four thousand who had been laid off and she was having a very hard time believing that she was indeed the best in the business. She looked at him and sighed.

“You really want me at Titan?” she asked and he nodded. “Then tell me what the big deal is that you are giving me such a sweet package.”

“So, you do agree that I have offered you a nice package?”

Alana reached for her glass and took a sip.

“I really don’t want to get into this with you, D’Angelo. Just tell me what the big emergency is.”

“Fine. There is this code I have been working on… well, my team has and it is supposed to be the next big thing in cyber security.” He took a long deep breath and sighed. “I don’t know why or how but somehow there was malware in our system sometime last week and my code ended up being sold to the highest bidder on the dark web last Friday.”

Alana raised an eyebrow over the other.

“How much?” she asked.

“The bid only went as high as eight hundred grand but it is still nothing compared to what that code can do in the right hands…or the wrong ones depending on whoever is behind this.”

“So, what exactly do you want me to do about it?” Alana asked.

“Find me the mole at Titan.”

“What makes you think there is a mole at your company?” she asked shrugging. “It might have been some silly mistake a rookie made.”

“So I am just supposed to believe that it is a coincidence that my goose that laid the golden egg is now property of your former employer?” he asked and she shook her head.

“Wait, your new state of the art security system was bought by a company that is laying off four thousand employees countrywide to stay afloat?” she asked and he nodded.

“See why I have a problem with all this?”

“It does sound fishy,” she agreed. “But I still don’t know what you think I can do for you.”

“I don’t trust anyone else with this information, Alana. I need you onboard.”

Alana took one last sip before she reached for the bottle and refilled her glass.

“No hidden agenda?” she asked and he nodded.

“Absolutely. There are no hidden agendas here. It is a mutually beneficial situation,” he said. “Job for you and…security for me.”

She took a long deep breath and sighed.

“Fine,” she said. “But remember in the office, I am professional not your best friend’s little sister who you used to sneak chocolate bars when she was having a bad day.”

Stefan smiled.

“I had absolutely forgotten that,” he said.

She rolled her eyes again.

“So, when do I start?” she asked and he crossed one leg over the other.

“You are already on the clock.”

“But it’s almost noon and I’m already kind of buzzed,” she said.

“Fine. Tomorrow.”

“I want an office with a view,” she said as he stood up.

“Great. I’ll have it set up.” He began walking towards the front door but she shook her head.

“D’Angelo, wait.” He turned around and looked at her. “You can’t just offer me double what everyone is making and expect people not to talk. Titan security is a big company and someone is bound to find out that one of the engineers is grossly overpaid. I really don’t want a nepotism scandal with my name on it.” 

“That’s why you are not coming on board as just an engineer,” Stefan said.

“What?” she asked.

“You are my new head security engineer,” he pointed and she frowned.

“I have only ever just handled a small team. I have never had a whole department under me,” she said.

“Well, it is obvious that is about to change.”

She shrugged.

“Why?” she asked as she looked at him.

“You think I don’t know that the M & M bulletproof firewall was your doing?” he asked before he walked out of the apartment leaving her surprised. The firewall project was what got her in with M & M and they made her sign a confidentiality agreement and because she was young and naïve, and also excited about a job in her field, she did it. But she had never told anyone about it so there was no way of knowing how Stefan had come to know about it.

“I guess I am now a Titan Security HOD,”
she thought as she went on sipping on her wine.
