Chapter 17

It was
like a drug to me. I couldn’t stop myself, as I walked into Edward’s on 5
^th
I looked around the room for a woman that would be a good match for what I needed
that night.

My body
ached to feel the release from a woman. It had been days since I had been with
Rebecca and I just couldn’t keep waiting for Alicia to decide if she was going
to give herself to me or not. I had needs and they had to be filled right away.

From one
side of the room to the other, I looked for a woman that would be fun for the
night. It seemed to take me longer than usual as I found reasons why almost
every single woman in the bar would not work for me.

One blonde
was too young.

Her friend
was too bubbly.

The group
of ladies in the corner seemed too serious.

I finally
found a hot brunette who was seated at the bar all alone. The girls who were
all alone were the easiest to sway my way. Typically they were overworked and
just trying to decompress after a long day or they had a recent break up with a
boyfriend. Either option worked for what I needed. I needed a hot fuck for the
night.

As I
approached the bar, my usual drink was placed in front of me before I could
even ask. I wasn’t sure I liked how well the bartenders knew me and how quick
they had my drink ready for me. It might have made me look like I was
constantly at the bar, and constantly picked up women; although both of those
statements were true.

“
Thanks,
Sal,” I said as he walked away.

I turned
and looked at the striking brunette and raised my glass to her as I took a
drink. She didn’t seem to react much but did nod her head in agreement of my
air toast.

“How’s
your night?” I asked as I glanced at the brunette and then back at the screen.

My
attention was pulled toward the television for a moment as I watched the
numbers
for
the end of the day scroll
across the screen. It had been a pretty uneventful day on
Wall
Street
and I was ready to
wind
down.

“It’s
good. How about you?”

“I could
be better,” I said as I turned to face her. “I’m Evan.”

She
politely shook my hand and looked up at me from the bar stool that she sat on.
Her eyes were not sad, so I had to assume she was drinking alone because she
had a long day.

“I’m
Stacey, nice to meet you.”

“What’s a
pretty girl like you doing in a place like this on a Tuesday?”

It was a
reasonable question. Not many women liked to drink alone and certainly not the
women who worked on wall street. Most of the finance women worked out after
work
if they didn’t before, and they hurried
out to spend time with their friends at the end of the day. Sometimes, if a
woman
were
dedicated to advancing, they
would get to bed early so they could get up early and be one of the first into
their firm every morning.

“Looking
for a guy to keep me company,” she said and then winked at me.

This
looked like it was going to be easier than I had expected. She needed company
and I needed a fun woman for the night. We were the perfect match.

“That’s
convenient. I happen to be excellent company.”

My smile
finally coerced her into giving me a grin back. She was beautiful, sexy in a
dark and seductive sort of way. Her dark brown hair framed her pale face and
made her almond shaped eyes the focus when I looked at her.

“Do you
mind an audience?” Stacey asked.

At first I
didn’t really understand what she asked me. Did I mind an audience? It didn’t
make sense to me. Then as I thought about the
situation,
I realized she wanted to know if I was alright with someone watching us have
sex. It took a lot to shock me and Stacey had been the first one to do it in a
very long time.

“I’ve
never done that before. Do you have a boyfriend or husband that wants to
watch?”

I was in
unchartered territory and really had no idea what I was doing. What if the dude
was some sort of psycho? What if this was all some sort of
set
-up by a serial killer?

I must
have looked like I had a lot of
trepidation
because Stacey tried to calm my concerns.

“I’m
married. He can’t perform like he
used
to. It’s nothing crazy or really that weird. At least to us it isn’t. But yes,
he likes to watch.”

My brain
contemplated the situation. At first my instinct was to say no and turn and
walk away. But the more I thought about
it,
the more I realized that the situation couldn’t be better. She didn’t want a
long-term
thing; there would be no issue with
her calling me and trying to get a hold of me for a date. Perhaps I had missed
the perfect niche woman for what I needed in my life at the time.

The married
woman was just what I needed.

“Is he
here? Does he know you might bring someone home tonight? I’m sorry I just don’t
know how this all works.”

“He’s at
home, he does know that I will bring someone home tonight. He’s waiting and I’m
sure hoping that I find someone. Have I found someone?”

She smiled
at me and raised one eyebrow. I really couldn’t say no, it wasn’t my sort of
thing to refuse a new sexual adventure. I liked to experiment with my dates and
this would be just one more way of experimenting.

“I’m game
if you are,” I said as I threw down some money for our drinks.

The
adrenaline rushed through my body as Stacey grabbed my hand and pulled me out
of the bar. She took control and hailed a cab and we sat in the vehicle in
awkward silence as the driver brought us the twenty blocks or so to her place.

Outside of
the building, I stood and looked up at the large tower for just a moment before
Stacey pulled me into the entryway.

“So what
do you like?” I asked as we got in the elevator and made our way up to her
place.

“Don’t
worry; think of it like a one night stand. Whatever you would normally do is
going to be just right. He’s not going to bark orders at us or anything like
that. He might not even decide to stay in the room. Sometimes he just stays for
a minute and then leaves.”

“I just
want to make sure I put on a good show,” I said slyly.

“I’m sure
we will be great together.”

My heart
pumped louder than I could ever remember it pumping as we walked into Stacey’s
apartment. I didn’t know if I was ready for what was ahead, but I couldn’t wait
to give it a try.

We walked
in and Stacey left me by the entryway as she went to fetch her husband. I just
stood there without moving at all. I really didn’t know what to do, so I slowly
took off my suit
jacket
and then my
shoes. I wandered around just the immediate area by the front door and didn’t
dare go too much farther away from the door.

“Evan,
come
this way,” Stacey said as she grabbed my
hand again and I followed her.

She led me
into a bedroom that was fairly dark. I thought I saw a glimpse of a man sitting
in the corner, but I couldn’t tell for sure without being obvious with my gaze.

“What
next?” I said as we stood in her bedroom and looked at each other.

“Kiss me.”

I leaned
in and let my lips touch hers gently. My hands stroked her cheek as I held her
lips pressed against mine. Before I knew it, Stacey had my shirt unbuttoned and
she had moved on to getting me out of the rest of my clothes. I didn’t protest.
It was exhilarating to think that her husband was just a few feet away. It was
erotic to know that but to not have
see
him fully or talked to him.

Soon I had
totally forgotten about her husband and I was fully devoted to Stacey and
making her scream. As usual, I wanted to hear the loudest screams she could
muster and to do that I would have to deliver some serious pleasure for her.

I moved
quickly and took off all of her clothes and let my lips explore the soft skin
of her legs. I kept my eyes on Stacey as I moved up and took in the taste of
her. The delicious softness of her folds made my cock erect with desire.

Stacey
moaned loudly at the first touch of my tongue and she didn’t stop until I had
finally stopped. Every stroke, every flick of my tongue had promised her
pleasure that she just wasn’t going to refuse. As her moans
increased,
I wondered what her husband liked
about the situation. Why did he want to watch his wife get fucked by some other
guy when he could just give her oral and pleasure her that way? It baffled me,
but not enough to stop playing with Stacey and her body.

I pulled
her clit into my mouth hard and enjoyed the loud moan that left her body. It
was heaven to hear the desire she had for me. I moved my fingers up and let two
of them slide inside of her as she let out more pleasure sounds. Slowly I
stroked my fingers inside of her and stimulated her g-spot. Fast and then slow
I alternated between to get the most effect on her pleasure.

Stacey had
her hands in my hair and pressed me toward her body hard. She didn’t want me to
let go and I didn’t want to either. Faster and faster I moved my fingers and
tongue working in time with each other to bring her to the highest pleasure.

“Oh yes,”
she screamed. “I want you inside of me.”

Her wish
was my command and I slid up and positioned myself over her body. As I was
about to slide inside of
her,
I felt the
presence of someone near the bed.

“Let her
ride you,” the man’s voice said.

It creeped
me out to see him standing near the bed. Instantly I regretted my choice to go
home with Stacey. There was probably a really good reason that I had never said
yes to a situation like that before.

“Alright,
Bernie,” Stacey said as she looked up at him.

I was too
far into the situation to turn back now. I slid a condom on and laid back on the
bed. It was actually a little better to be laying on the bed because as Stacey
slid onto my cock I could no longer see her husband in the corner of the room.

She faced
away from me and I had a perfect view of her ass as she slid up and down on my
cock. My hands held onto her hips and moved with her to give her some relief
from the hard work that she was doing.

I used my
thumbs to spread her ass and squeezed her cheeks as she thrust hard against my
cock. My usual routine wasn’t to sit back and let the woman take control, but
by that point I was fine with it. I liked watching her ass and I loved feeling
her thrusting hard on top of my cock.

She
started to play with her clit as she bounced on me and I could feel her body
tightening around my cock. She slowed down and pressed her pelvis hard against
mine as she let me cock fill her up as much as possible.

“Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.” She released as her body finally gave in to the pleasure.

Normally I
would have pulled her down next to me and held onto her for a little bit. Even
if I planned to leave shortly, I liked to have a good cuddle before I did.

It was a
unique situation and I had to just get out of that apartment as fast as
possible. Luckily, Stacey walked me to the restroom and left me there to clean
up and get dressed. As I finished
up,
she
walked me to the front door and kissed me. I left and felt so relieved that I
couldn’t help but smile.

For the
first time in a very long
time,
I
actually regretted sleeping with someone. Not that Stacey was someone to
regret. But the situation wasn’t at all something that I wanted to get involved
in and I was disappointed in myself for giving into my physical desire. Never
had I ever felt so badly after fucking a woman. It was an eye opener for sure
and I decided I should be much more cognoscente of the choices in women and
sexual situations I made.

I needed
to keep my focus on Alicia and building what we had
going
so I could find out more about her company. In just the last
few
days,
my shares in ALL Warren
clothing had grown almost 30%, which was a huge gain. It was the largest growth
out of all my investments and I needed to keep that level of growth to build my
customer base. If I could keep my portfolio growth at over
30%,
I would get a huge boost in my portfolio,
which would get me to partner in no time at all.

Being a
partner
in my firm was the ultimate goal. I had
to keep my portfolio growth and that meant I had to figure out what was going
on with Alicia’s company.

Chapter 18

My brain
couldn’t calm down all night as I thought about all the possibilities with
Alicia’s company. My investment in her company could literally make my career,
or it could be the end of my career if there
were
some sort of fraud going on.

I started
my day with a renewed focus to figure out what was going on with the
financials. There was no reason Alicia should have a hard time getting orders
to her customers if everything was as it was supposed to be.

My mother
always told me if you feel like something is off then it probably is. We just
don’t get those worried feelings about things if there isn’t a reason for it.

At work my
first stop was to visit with Rebecca. She had done such a great job researching
the company
already
and I needed her
opinion on why Alicia might not be able to deliver her products to the
customers.

“Hey
pretty lady,” I said as I snuck around the corner to Rebecca’s desk.

“Oh, no;
here comes trouble.”

Rebecca
lit up as I stood over her desk. She was a beautiful woman and I enjoyed our
weekend together very much, especially her tits. Damn I got hard every time I
saw them.

She sat at
her desk with her huge breasts snug in her
business
appropriate
top. I wanted to reach over her cubical and flick open one
of her buttons and just see those beautiful breasts pop out of her top.

“You know
it,” I said with a wink.

“What can
I do for
you,
Mr. Gade?”

“I need
your help and I can’t go on another weekend getaway.”

“Oh, so
I’m supposed to help for free?”

“I think
we can arrange something,” I said as I licked my lips.

Luckily
the cubicle protected her from seeing my bulging cock as it pressed up against
my suit pants.
Oh,
I would definitely
make something work to have another night with Rebecca; it would be a welcomed
night, especially after what had just happened with Stacey.

“What’s
up? Are we still looking at ALL Warren Clothing?”

“Yeah, I
was out with Alicia and she said she is having a hard time fulfilling orders.”

“Hmmm,
like is she saying they don’t have inventory, not enough staff? What exactly is
the problem?”

“I’m
pretty sure she said she didn’t have enough inventory. Which was really weird
because I thought they had several warehouses full of product.”

I waited
as Rebecca pulled out some files and looked through them. She flipped through
several pages and then came across a paper that she had looked for.

“I think I
see where the problem might be. They only have two dozen employees according to
this paper. There is no way in hell they are managing even a single warehouse
with that many employees. I need to see exactly how many employees they have.
This form is a year old. Do you know how many she has now?”

I shook my
head. I really didn’t know much about her company at all, but I suspected that
she had
twenty-four
employees at the new
headquarters office in New York. So she had to have many more employees if you
included her warehouses.

“When I
was at her office the other day I did see a file box that had payroll
information. But I didn’t look at it close enough to see the number of
employees.”

“Can you
get in there again?”

“I guess,
but what exactly do I need to look at?”

“Number of
people on the payroll, locations of where they work, those would be great.”

She said
it like it would be so simple for me to just waltz back into Alicia’s office
and get that information. I really wished I had
known
what I was looking for when I was in there before. It was going to be much
harder to get in there a second time.

“Alright,
but before I do this again, give me some ideas of what else I should be looking
for. If I run across anything else I want to get that information this time
because there is no way I’m going to get in there a third time.”

Rebecca
thought about it for a minute and made me a short list of what I financial
items might be helpful in our research.

Names of
suppliers, addresses of warehouses, the
location
of employees, shipping company accounts, plus anything that had Bill
Yobi’s
name on it.

“Just take
a picture of the items with your cell and I can zoom in and find what I need.
There is something really shady going on there though and I doubt they will
have all the information at the office. Most likely Bill or Alicia will have
the top secret stuff at their homes.”

That was
exactly what I had thought and I knew there was no way I could get into Bill’s
house. There was a small possibility that I could eventually get into Alicia’s
house, but I really didn’t have much confidence in that either.

At the
risk of looking like a total stalker, I made my way back over to Alicia’s
office to try and get into the file room again. This time I had no intention of
actually talking to Alicia though, I just needed to gain access to the file
room for a few minutes.

The sexy
front desk woman recognized me immediately. She smiled wildly and picked up the
phone to call upstairs to Alicia.

“Wait,” I
said as I put my hand out and motioned for her to hang up the phone.

“Don’t you
want Alicia?”

“Yes, but
I don’t want to bother her. Do you know if she is free right now or not?”

“I’m
sorry, her assistant is the only one who has her schedule. Would you like me to
call her?”

“Yes, I
think that would be best. I’m going to run to the little boys room,” I said it
as I walked passed her.

I didn’t
want to give her the opportunity to stop me. I just needed to get into that
file room, take a few pictures and then get out of there.

I moved
slowly down the familiar hallway and watched for anyone to come out of the
offices. It didn’t seem like there was anyone around so I made my way straight
to the file room. This time the door was wide
open,
though.

I looked
into the room and saw that all the boxes had been moved. The room was empty. My
hopes of finding the information I needed was gone and I was left without even
the slightest idea of where I should look from there.

While I
made my way back to the front
desk,
I
looked in a couple other offices that were opened, but none had the boxes that
I needed.

“Sounds
like Alicia is in meetings all afternoon,” the receptionist said. “Would you
like me to leave a message for you?”

“No thank
you, I’ll just give her a call. I don’t want to bother her.”

Then just
like clockwork, Alicia and a group of men walked out of the elevator and
straight toward me. I looked like a small child caught in the act of stealing
some candy. I knew it looked odd and I had to figure out a good reason to be
there
and fast.

“Evan,
what are you doing here?” Alicia seemed a bit annoyed that I had shown up again
at her work.

I knew I
couldn’t use the same excuse that I had come for lunch. We certainly had not
made a lunch date and she had a group of men with her. I wasn’t about to look
like some needy guy who had shown up without being asked.

“I lost my
work cell, just thought it might have slipped out when I visited yesterday,” I
looked at the receptionist and begged her with my eyes to go
along
with my plan.

“Nobody
has turned in a
phone
if anyone does I
will certainly call you,” she said as the beautiful woman went along with my
lie.

“Thank you
so much,” I said to the receptionist. “It was good seeing you, Alicia, I’ll see
you at the gallery tomorrow night.”

The men
behind Alicia were not known to me, except for one: Bill Yobi. He stood and
peered at me like he wanted to kill me right there in the lobby. I wasn’t quite
sure what I had ever done to him that he hated me so much, but he definitely
hated me. The look in his eyes could have killed me on the spot if he had laser
vision.

I waved
and made my way out of the building and around the corner. My
gut
sad that I should wait and watch Alicia
with the group of men. It was odd that she had a so many men involved in a
women’s clothing company. I wondered if the men were investors or part of her
company. Yet I couldn’t help but think how utterly strange it was that Alicia
never had other women around here; especially at work.

I tucked
myself into a doorway as Alicia and the men she was with left the building and
drove off. Part of me wanted to turn around and go back into the building and
flirt with that receptionist and see if she would tell me where the boxes had
been moved. But I realized it would be too much of a risk because the
receptionist likely would talk with Alicia.

“Sir, you
are going to have to move from that doorway,” a young kid dressed in a security
officer's
uniform said.

“I’m
sorry.”

I stepped
out of the doorway and started to walk down the street before a great idea came
to me.

“Do you
know where ALL Warren Clothing brought their storage boxes? I helped pack them
and lost my phone yesterday.”

“Oh yeah,
Mr. Yobi had the boxes sent to Ms. Warren’s condo. I’m sure you could just ask
her about your phone.”

“Oh, yes,
thank you.”

Of course,
I could just ask Alicia. I’m sure she would love to have me over to her house
and let me have an hour to rummage through her secret documents. I had to laugh
as I thought about how I had just had the documents in my hands but then let
them slip away.

My
frustration level was through the roof
and, of
course,
the first thing I thought about was heading back over to
Edward’s Bar. But after the event with Stacey, I really didn’t have the energy
to go there again. Instead, I made my way home and decided to spend the evening
hunkered down on my own couch without distractions.

I enjoyed
having some time to myself every now and again. It didn’t happen very often,
mostly because I liked spending naked time with women much more than I liked
being alone. But overall, some independent time to relax was often very useful
to me. It gave me the necessary time to reflect on life as well as plan my days
ahead.

Most
people took their weekends to relax, but I worked almost every day of the week.
I didn’t get time to just sit around and worry about things. I worked hard for
my money and that involved working all weekend long, nights and holidays.
Working hard was something I loved to do, it meant that I was closer and closer
to being the best in my field.

Although I
still had a long way to go if I wanted to make partner. My portfolio would need
to be strong for at least a year and I would need to bring in almost double my
current clientele. I was
possible,
though, I knew it was; especially because of the level of work I was able to
put into building my brand.
