Chapter 6

Kristy wondered how many other girls he gave that sort of punishment to. It was not hard to notice that most of the people that she had seen working there were beautiful young women. Kristy started to think that he had hired her for another reason all together than fixing his fine problems.

She got ready to go to work the next day, but in the end did not have the guts to go in. How could she look at him with what had happened the night before? Kristy didn’t know though, if she was upset because he had done it or because she desperately wanted more. It was even more humiliating than anything she had ever experienced before.

The phone rang about ten o clock and she saw that it was Ash. She ignored the phone call and put it to voice mail. If she could find that job, she was sure that she could find something else similar to that. Kristy just had to get out and look. She had known all along that it would be a bad idea to go to work for Ash, but she had not seen that coming one bit. The attraction had been there, but she had not imagined him to be so forceful. The very memory made her body shiver.

She applied to several positions in the city and even had a couple of interviews. One in particular she had thought was going well, but halfway through the meeting, the phone had rung and the interviewers whole demeanor changed. Kristy went from a hopeful to no chance. She couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to change their mind, but she didn’t ask. They didn’t have to hire her of course, but she did want to know why.

When she got back to the apartment, Ashlea was still at work and she had the place to herself. She turned her phone back on and was surprised to have over ten calls from Stiy Industries. There were also several messages left that she finally listened to.

At first, he had been asking if she was coming in, but as the day had worn on, it appeared by his messages that he was becoming irate. She kind of like the way that his voice went up several octaves with each call. He was getting madder the longer she had ignored him. One of the last messages basically gave her the answer to her question earlier. Ash was doing his best to blacklist her.

Sighing to herself, she just reasoned that she would have to go out of the city to find work or maybe move to a whole new city. It wouldn’t be that bad of a problem if she had the funds and her parents hadn’t cut her off. She refused to go to them for help, so she would just have to figure something out. Ashlea popped in and asked how her day was. “I quit.”

“Oh, well that’s not good.”

“I need to find something else, but Ash is blacklisting me so I can’t get another job, says I need to come back in.”

Ashlea shook her head. She didn’t understand the relationship and though Kristy had thought she had, there was a whole other dynamic that she had not been aware of. She had not been aware of how tempted she would be by him or how much she would like what he had done to her. Kristy had never been into that kind of thing, but her bottom still remembered the way he had touched her, the way his hand had smacked and then rubbed away the slight hurt. He had played her body like a violin and it drove her crazy that he could.

***

Kristy did not go back to work or return any of his phone calls. By Friday, she had come to the conclusion that he had in fact called every single business in town and no one was going to hire her. Everyone did business with him and his company in one way or another and did not want to jeopardize their business relationship. This left Kristy with less options ad she was starting to feel desperate. She even asked Ashlea if she could get her on with her, but they weren’t doing any hiring.

Later Friday evening, she was sitting at home when there was a knock on the door. She wasn’t sure who it was, but she had broken down to ask her mother for money. What she was not expecting was Ash to be on the other side of the door.

“What do you want? Don’t you think you have done enough?”

“I came to bring you your paycheck.”

“What?”

“You are still on the books. I would hope that you would have seen reason by now.”

He was talking to her as if she was a child and it made her want to throttle him. “Thank you, but you can leave now.”

“I want to know when you will be back into work.”

“I will not be back into work. I quit.”

“You didn’t say so.”

“I shouldn’t have to. How about when you bent me over your desk and sexually assaulted me?”

He chuckled, “is that what we are calling it?”

She nodded her head, though she was sure that her face wasn’t very convincing. “You used me.”

“You agreed and if I remember right, you begged me to fuck you.”

The words made her turn a darker shade of red. She remembered clearly begging him to fuck her, the need she had felt to feel him inside of her. Kristy backed up away from him with the check in her hand that she had yet to look at. “You need to leave now Ash.”

“Come on Kristy, I get the anger, but don’t be indignant. I went too far, I will admit that, as long as you admit that you liked what I did.”

“Liked it? You must be crazy.”

“I have cameras in my office and I had to have my chair cleaned.”

Her cheeks turned red, but she was not going to back down. “It was your fault. You made me stay over so Scott had to come by and then you made it worse. What was I supposed to do?”

“Not that.”

“Well I did. So you made your point. Why would you want me to come back to work after all of this?”

“I think you know why Kristy. You never have been good at playing the blonde.”

“They have hookers for that sort of thing Ash.”

“You misunderstood. I want you to work for me on a professional capacity. If I agree to promise not to touch you again, unless you want me to, will you come back?”

He was so close he was almost touching her then. Ash’ eyes finally moved from her to the dismal surroundings. “This is where you live?”

The comment pissed her off. “Well obviously.”

“You deserve better than this Kristy, come back to work and I will throw in a condo as a perk.”

“Why?”

“You’ve seen how much I have paid in fines. If you can lessen that cost, it will pay for itself.”

“I will have to think about it.”

Ash looked around once more. “You do that. Call me and let me know either way. I can have a place available tonight if you want. I hate to think of you staying here.”

“It’s not that bad.”

“Yeah, but I know where you come from. This isn’t you.”

Chapter 7

Kristy looked at the door and then tried to see the apartment how she had first seen it and how he had saw it. It was a bleak existence when considering where she was used to living. There was no decoration, no comfort. Everything had been purchased with price in mind and the little luxuries that she missed were gone.

The idea of a nice company condo made her feel a little better, but she was worried about working with him. Even if he didn’t touch her again, could she really work with him, knowing what he was hiding in his pants? She wasn’t sure if she could without turning red every time she saw him or worse yet, throw herself at him.

She spent the weekend thinking about it and every time she looked up at the cracked ceiling or the paint flaking off of the walls, it made her lean more towards going back into work. It was Sunday night when she finally decided that she would take it. Kristy called him and he offered to help her move.

“That won’t be necessary Ash. You have already done so much for me.”

“Nonsense, I will be there in a little bit.”

She had started to pack her few belongings. She had left most of her things at her parents and did not want to go back and get them. Her check was bigger than what she would have made in two months waitressing and it meant she was able to at least get a few things that she had been missing.

Ash showed up and he looked strange in jeans and a T-shirt. It was hard to see him that way, knowing that he was worth so much. What was stranger still was watching him load boxes into a company truck for her. He seemed like any other man then, far more accessible as he did as her boss.

Kristy tried not to look at him in that way, but she was hard pressed not to notice how hot and sweaty he was becoming. The shirt was sticking to his body and he was fanning himself with the bottom of it. The white shirt kept flicking upwards, showing toned abs that made her squeeze her thighs together as she looked on.

They were all done putting everything into the truck and Kristy was ignoring his glance. “Is that it?”

“Yeah.”

“Well follow me there and we will get you unloaded.”

She nodded her head and got into her sedan. Kristy agreed to help Ashlea pay for rent like she was still there, but she couldn’t stay there any longer. Ash didn’t want anyone else living there, so she promised to come back and see her as soon as she could. Her heart started to calm down, forgetting the way he looked long enough to settle. Ash was still as confusing as ever, but she was starting to see him as more than who he was when they were younger. What she hadn’t expected was his kind heart, paired with all of the other qualities that made him unique.

The condo was close to work and it was nicer than she had thought. After seeing the inside, she couldn’t hold back her excitement, or her need to thank him. She hugged him tight, thanking him as she squeezed him hard. “You don’t know what this means to me. I don’t want to sound like a snob, but that place was killing me daily.”

“I can imagine.”

He pulled her back and her body missed the way he felt against her. Everything about him was hard and she swallowed even harder as she moved back. “Just thank you Ash. I always thought you were such a jerk.”

“I wasn’t a jerk. I was just in love with a girl that would not give me the time of day.”

She didn’t answer, not sure what to say to such a declaration. Had he loved her? Kristy tried to remember that, but all she remembered was snide comments and ridicule when they were forced to be around each other. They went to the same private school, but if he had loved her, Ash had kept it hidden behind the asshole façade he presented to the world.

“You did not show love, from what I can remember Ash. But I thank you none the less. I don’t know how much longer I could stay there. When you blacklisted me, I figured I would have to go back into waitressing.”

“You waitressed?”

“For a few days.”

She smiled and Kristy turned away and headed back outside to get the last few boxes. It had not been as strange as she had thought it would be, but her body did not make it easy on her. Her body wanted him inside of her and his attitude just made him even more desirable.

“Do you want to order something?”

“Whatever you want, though we could go out if you want Kristy.”

“I was hoping for something more private.”

“Could have fooled me. It seems you like to do things in public.”

She looked down and wondered how he had followed her line of thought so well. “Not like that Ash, besides you promised.”

“Unless you asked.”

***

Ash was trying to play it cool, but his admission was in truth only the tip of the iceberg. He had been in love with her for years and reconnecting with her had made him forget the other women he had been entertaining in the past. Once Kristy was back in his life, the fiery redhead was all he could think about. He had replayed his moments with her and the ones by herself in his office, too many times to count and he wanted more. When she left he panicked and Ash was willing to wait as long as he needed to, to give her time to change her mind. But being there, around her, was harder than he had anticipated.

The promise of a private dinner made his heart leap hopeful that she was ready to go forward. But he was stalled by a promise he had made in desperation to get her back in his life. Ash wanted the feeling back that being around her afforded him. She made him feel alive and Ash wanted that feeling back. If only he didn’t blow it, though what he wanted was to take her as he knew she needed. He could feel the need in her and the submissiveness in her eyes when she looked at him.

“So you still like sushi right?”

He nodded, though he hadn’t heard a word she said. His blue eyes were trained on her lips as she continued to speak. He just nodded a few more times and it seemed to suffice because she walked off into the kitchen.

“Here you go. I know it isn’t fancy wine, but I never did have the taste for it anyways. Even when I could afford it. I don’t know how I will repay you.”

It felt like his que, but he had made promises. Ash had to keep reminding himself. She was ripe for the taking and he quivered with the idea. But he had to be patient and wait for her to come to him. “I could think of many ways Kristy.”

She took a sip of her drink and swallowed hard. He was too close and she could feel the heat coming off of him. “Are you sure you aren’t busy tonight? You don’t have a few girlfriends like you used to?”

“I did, but I have my eyes on only one now.”

“What if she doesn’t give you what you want?”

“She will.”

“How can you be so sure of that Ash?”

He shrugged and moved closer to her. She didn’t move back, but she could feel the hot breath on the side of her neck. “Because she gets wet every time we are close and I take that as a very good sign.”

She closed her eyes for a second and tried her hardest not to squeeze her wet lips together. How did he know such things? Kristy wondered to herself.

The sushi came and she had a shot or two of vodka to go with it. Ash was quiet through dinner, but his eyes followed her as she moved. He made her nervous and his body so close made her heart pound in her chest. She finally couldn’t take it anymore and she kissed him. It was gentle and almost chaste, but when she pulled away, it looked to have had the effect that she was looking for.

Ash stood up to get another drink. He needed space before he broke his promise, but her hands stopped him as he went to move away. Her emerald eyes looked to him for direction, but none was forth coming. She looked in front of her and his hard bulge was clear. Her hands moved to his upper thighs and her mouth moved in to lightly bite the hard length in front of her. He was no longer able to hold his emotions and he growled at her from above.

The sound spurred her on, making her impossibly wet and her mouth twitched to taste him. Her fingers trembled on his pants, unbuttoning and then unzipping the jeans. She pulled them down and was faced with his length right off. Her grip was still on his pants, but she moved forward with her hungry mouth, engulfing the head with her wet heat.

Ash groaned louder and moved his hands away so he wouldn’t be tempted. He was not to touch her and he already regretted the statement more than anything he had said before. Kristy moved slow, taking him in as much as she could and then pulling out slowly, sucking hard on the retreat. Ash moved his hips to get in faster, but she held him back with her hands on his thighs

She grinned up at him, her eyes dilated with lust. He tasted as good as he looked. Her moans were to spur him on and soon his hips were pushing her back so he could thrust deeper. While he was not technically touching her but in one place, his large body moved over her, grinding as much as he could against the back of her throat. Kristy gagged a little and he pushed deeper.

When she pushed back hard on him, he leaned in, his hands holding the back of her couch as he moved out. Giving her a second for breath, his hips moved his thick cock deeper and then back out. He started to rut inside of her, grunting as he felt his desires ballooning.

Ash was white-knuckled on the couch and his hips rutted wildly into her mouth and throat. Kristy’s hands had given up trying to slow him down and she was playing with herself as he pumped inside of her. When he saw what she was doing, he lost control and pushed deep to unload his hot seed. Another time that he was unable to hold out for where he truly wanted to be.

“Dammit, that was hot but not what I really wanted.”

He had moved back and she was eying him, wiping her mouth as she swallowed the last bit of his essence.

“What is it that you want Ash?”

“I want to tie you up and fuck you until you can’t walk. But I promised that you would have to ask me to do it.”

She looked down at the beautiful cock so hard in front of her, gleaming with the spit from her throat. Kristy could still taste him in her mouth, the salty flavour dominating in the back of her throat. She bit her lip and looked to be deciding something.

“Now I want you to beg for it Kristy. Beg me to take you anyway that I wish and I will do a far better job than a few slaps from your own hand.”

Kristy pushed her thighs together. Her body agreed, but her mind was resistant to such submission. “I can’t beg Ash and you know that.”

He bent down and kissed her, his lips and tongue insistent. Pulling away, he whispered in her ear before he left. “You will before it is all over Kristy.”
