Hook ups and Parties

Damon's tongue flicked against my clit as I came again. His eyes were glued to mine as he lapped up my juices. We were just having sex a few minutes ago, and then the idea popped into his head to make me cum for him over and over again as he licked and sucked my pussy.

"How was that?" Damon asked as he kissed my neck. He rolled off the bed and grabbed a cup of water, downing it's contents in a gulp. 

"It was so fucking good. My legs were shaking," I said as I collected my clothes off the floor.

"Let me take you out, Arya. My treat, I know you got that promotion the other day."

"Damon, don't get ahead of yourself now. This is just casual sex. We don't do dates, remember?" I chuckled, and he smirked. 

"And that's how I like it, but I can still do nice things for you, Arya. You didn't celebrate your promotion, and that's so fucking lame. I wanted to hit the new club that opened."

I raised a brow. "Are you paying for my drinks?" 

"You know I've got you covered," he winked. "Also, shouldn't you be getting to work?" He asked.

"Fuck! I'm late for work!" 

"I can give you a lift. Maybe we can have a quickie in the car." Damon bit his lip seductively, and I rolled my eyes. He didn't have to worry about working because his parents owned one of the most successful companies in the country. Damon had the liberty of being a freeloader, as he liked to call it. 

"Then I'll never get to work. I'll see you around Damon." I waved as I grabbed my coat and darted out the door. My car had been at the mechanic for the last two weeks, and I would be able to collect it on Friday. I was really looking forward to that.

I caught a cab and headed to work. Surprisingly, I managed to make it in time.

"Did you have some rough morning sex again?" Yasmeen, my best friend, asked as I sat down next to her. 

"Yes," I blushed as I took the latte she passed to me.

"Girl, your face is flushed, and you smell like sex. That wouldn't have been a problem if you didn't have a meeting to attend this morning."

"A meeting?!" I screeched, and she laughed. 

"Yes girl. Mr. Xander wants to see you in his office in 15 minutes. I'll help you freshen up, so don't worry."

"Thanks, Yas, I owe you one." 

"What would you do without me?" She winked. 

After I freshened up, I went to meet Mr. Xander, who was already sitting at his desk. He was in his early fifties, and he was a really kind soul. 

"Arya, good to see you here. I have a job for you and I know it is short notice but I need youto attend a Gala tonight in my place." 

"W-What?" I stuttered at the request.

"Do not worry, Arya. It is a charity event, but I'll also need you to close the deal with one of our investors. You close deals all the time. I know you can do it. You don't need to worry about clothes and transport, all that will be covered."

"I can do it, sir." I said, and a smile graced his lips. 

"Excellent; my flight leaves within an hour. The gala starts at 8. The stylists would be at your home by six. I gave them your contact information, so they will contact you."

"Thank you, sir." I stood up and started walking out of the room. 

"Oh, Arya, one more thing!" He called, and I paused. "Don't forget to have fun."

~

"That's fucking exciting!" Yasmeen beamed as she stared at me in disbelief. We were having lunch together in the cafeteria. 

"I know, and I am so nervous."

"Girl, this is a great opportunity for you."

"Let's just hope I can pull it off." 

"Oh bitch! You definitely can." 

"What are you planning to do about Troy's proposal?" I asked. Yasmeen and Troy were together for two years, and when he proposed two weeks ago, things took a turn for the worst when Yasmeen turned him down. They haven't been on good terms. 

"We aren't speaking," she said, rolling her eyes. "He is throwing a tantrum." 

"You should talk to him. I know you love him." 

"Yes, I do, but I don't think he sees me the same," she frowned. "I really hurt him."

I touched her arm and smiled. "It's going to be okay."

"Dating advice from someone who doesn't date," she chuckled. "That's the best."

~

After a grueling day at work, I finally made it home, the anticipation of the evening’s events keeping my fatigue at bay. My apartment was eerily quiet, but I knew it wouldn’t last.

Soon, the stylists would be here, their tools of transformation at the ready.

The doorbell echoed through the silence, and I opened the door to a flamboyant stylist, his eyes alight with excitement.

“Ouu mademoiselle!” He greeted me, his thick accent adding an exotic charm. He was followed by a team of professionals, each a master of their craft.

They wasted no time. The air was filled with the scent of hairspray and the sound of jovial chatter. My auburn hair was styled into elegant waves that fell over my shoulders, and my hazel eyes were highlighted with a touch of mascara and a subtle smoky eye, making them even more captivating.

Then came the dress. A sexy, red number that hugged my curves and flowed down to my ankles. The fabric shimmered under the light, making me feel like a star. As I looked at my reflection in the mirror, a smile spread across my face. I was ready for the gala.

"You are stunning," he commented, and everyone nodded. 

The limo arrived shortly after to escort me to the event. I was buzzing with excitement as the limousine pulled up at the venue. Lots of paparazzi were there, as celebrities, philanthropists, and billionaires would be there at the event. I was a nobody in the faces of all these important people.

I got out of the limo and stepped on the carpet. The flash of lights blinded me as I stared at the people around me. 

"Who is she?" I heard murmurs in the crowd. 

I wasn't even sure what I should do when I felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist.

"Just smile and wave, darling." Damon's voice penetrated my ears. I was relieved to see him.

When we went into the building, Damon removed his hands from me and stared at me while licking his lips. 

"You are hot as fuck. Damn." He smirked. 

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Trying to close a deal with Netco Corp."

"Aww, that means you can't drink. Well, good luck, Arya. We should hang out after the party. I'd love to see that dress on the floor." He whispered in my ear, and I rolled my eyes. 

Doing my best to mingle and engage in small talk, I found myself lost in the sea of gala attendees. The clock was ticking, and I was there for a purpose: a meeting with the CEO of Netco Corp.

The meeting was scheduled for 9pm in a private room upstairs. As I glanced at the clock, I realized it was already time. The minutes had slipped away amidst the laughter and clinking of glasses.

With a deep breath, I excused myself from the crowd and began my ascent up the grand staircase. Each step felt heavy with anticipation. As I reached the top, I paused for a moment outside the door, gathering my thoughts.

“Alright, you’ve got this,” I whispered to myself, straightening my dress and taking one last deep breath.

With a soft knock, I opened the door. “Good evening,” I greeted, stepping into the room. 

A man's back was turned towards mine. As I greeted him, he turned around. My lips parted as I gasped at the sight in front of me. There he stood, my ex-boyfriend. After all these years, I didn't expect to see him. Not in this situation, at least. Michael Stone looked gorgeous as ever. I felt a lump form in my throat as I stared at him. It was like I was in a trance.

My heart was thumping against my chest as he took a step towards me.

Meeting Him
"Arya, is that you?" Michael asked as he walked over to me. I only nodded because I couldn't find the words to even speak to him. But here he was standing in front of me after all this time. “So,” Michael said, leaning back in his chair. “You’re here to negotiate on behalf of the CEO. Impressive.”I clenched my jaw. “Impressive or not, I’m here to get the best deal for my client.”He raised an eyebrow. “Your client? Or for yourself?”I ignored the jab. “Let’s focus on the matter at hand. The merger—”“—is a mistake,” he finished for me. “You know that, Arya. I will not agree to that, no matter how hard Paxell Corp. tries. And you guys have been trying pretty hard.”I bristled. “It’s a strategic move. It makes sense for both companies.”“Or maybe it’s just a way for you to prove yourself,” he said softly. “You've always had the nack for trying to prove yourself.""Funny, that's not how I remember it," I smirked. "You and I both know that's not how it was, Michael. Let's not go into m

My boyfriend?
"Pleasure to meet you." Michael's cold eyes bore into Damon's as he shook his hand. "What's going on here?" Lana's hand wrapped around Michael's arm as she leaned against him. "Oh! Arya, is this your boyfriend?" She looked surprised, then she narrowed her eyes at me. "Yes, he is." "Maybe we should go on a double date some time." She suggested, and I forced a smile. "Please excuse us," Michael said as he whisked Lana away and disappeared into the crowd. I released a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "Are you okay?" Damon asked, and I shook my head. "Seeing him here, I'm not even sure how to feel. It's been a long time. Plus, he's still with his ex. That says a lot." I frowned, and he cupped my chin. "Hey, they have nothing on you, Arya. You're an amazing woman." Damon kissed my cheek, causing me to smile. I was happy to not bounce into my ex and his girlfriend for the remainder of the evening. I didn't know that the feelings I used to have for Michael would come up and

Coffee
I screamed into a pillow as Damon chuckled while reading the headlines. “Look at you little miss celebrity,” he mused. “This is all your fault!” I pouted as I threw a pillow at him which he easily caught. “You’ll get used to it don’t worry,” he winked. “Besides they’ll get bored eventually and leave you alone,” “Not if we keep seeing each other,” I frowned. “C’mon it’ll give your ex boyfriend something to think about. He was totally jealous and I’m sure you liked the way it felt.” Yes the thought of Michael being jealous made me feel a certain way. But I wasn’t going to admit that.“I don’t think he was jealous. I think he’s really in love with Lana.” “She doesn’t seem like a nice person,” “No shit.” I rolled my eyes. Damon plopped down on the bed beside me and pinned my hands above my head. “Careful Arya. You better watch that mouth of yours.” He growled as pressed his leg between my legs. A soft moan escaped my lips as he smirked. “I want you to ride me like crazy right

Personal Assistant
“Put your best foot forward and be sure to make this company a great working environment. I’m still in the process of laying off employees so I implore you to act in a certain manner. I know management around here had some loose ends but I can assure you that I’m perfectly fine with cutting loose ends. Return to work. You all are dismissed.” Michael’s words cut like a knife as his voice was cold and sharp. “Damn, your ex is intense,” Yasmeen muttered and I nodded. “He was always serious about his work. He takes it to heart and he’s very hardworking even though he had everything handed to him.” “Miss Sterling, have you already responded to the foreign investors? How is my schedule looking for the day?” His voice snapped me out of my conversation. “Sir, I didn’t have time to look at it,” I confessed. “Your position is not permanent so I suggest you get on board quickly. Your desk has been relocated to my office. Get to work.” He snapped and I flinched. Why was he talking to me like

Painful Times
I groaned as I rolled off the bed; my stomach hurt so badly that I didn't even feel like moving. Fuck! My period was here. I wasn't in the mood to deal with this, but to be fair, I don't think I'd ever be in the mood to deal with this, I quickly hopped into the shower and ran myself a warm bath. It felt good and relaxing, and I wished I could stay here all day, but I had a job. After I got dressed and made my way to work, I took a few pain relief tablets. They never worked, but I still took them, hoping that they would magically work at some point. By the time I arrived, I felt like the pain was radiating from my body. The only thing I didn't do was cry. I trudged up to the office and began doing my work for the day. We had such a busy schedule today especially since we had a meeting with the shareholders. I hadn’t seen Michael all morning. That’s good because I wasn’t in the mood for his bullshit. Before lunch time I was already doubled over from the pain. I knew it was

This is….nice?
I felt a warmth on my stomach, which caused me to wake up. Looking around, I saw that I wasn’t at my home. I remembered Michael carrying me to the car but everything went blank after that. There was a heating pad on my stomach and I was wearing an oversized jersey and my underwear. “I see you’ve woken up,” Michael said as he entered the room. He was still in his work clothes but his sleeves were rolled up. He had a tray in his hand with food on it. My mouth watered instantly. I didn’t even know I was so hungry. “I could really go for some food right now,” I said and he chuckled. “Yes that’s the plan. I made you some chicken teriyaki and noodles.” “Yum, bring it over here.” I immediately dug into the food and began scoffing it down. It was really delicious. If it’s one thing about Michael, he could cook really well. “You were really hungry I see,” he said and I nodded. “Yeah I didn’t really eat today.” “That’s not good Arya. You have to do better.”“My period is so bad sometim

For your sake
“Lana! What a surprise?” I faked smiled as I steadied myself. “It is a surprise. What are you doing here?” She asked. She looked like she had seen a ghost.“Just had a meeting with Michael, that’s all.” Her eyes bore into the bag I had in my hand. The bag that Michael gave me with all the chocolates and snacks. “I can see that,” she managed through gritted teeth. As I was about to step inside, she blocked my path. “After all these years, you can’t come crawling back to Michael and acting like nothing happened. There’s a reason he’s with me and not you. If I were you I’d back off.” She whispered in my ear.“If he’s with you, then why are you threatened?” I smirked and she scoffed. “We both know—“ she started but I cut her off. “Both know what? That he’s a two timer? That he’s a cheater? That he could leave you at any moment without an explanation? Yes we both know that but one of us is smarter here. If I were you I’d keep my head low and mind my business.” I smiled and her eyes

Hospital
"This is really nice." I smiled as Yasmeen and I walked into the cinema. It was Friday evening"Girl, you needed it. We both did." Our popcorn was stacked in our hands, along with sodas and nachos. This was our girl's night, which we would have every now and then. As we waited for the movie to start, Yasmeen's phone rang, and she stepped outside to take the call. My mind wondered back to Michael and the way he treated me so coldly when we were together. He just ignored me. Quite frankly, I didn't care, but the thing is, it still made me feel a certain way. I texted Damon, and he told me that he couldn't hook up this weekend, much to my surprise. Well, that's a good reason to go clubbing. Yasmeen reentered the room with a sullen look on her face. Immediately, I knew something was wrong. "Yas, what's going on?" I asked, and tears began rolling down her eyes. "It's Raine; there's been an accident. She is hurt. I'm not sure what happened, but it doesn't sound good." She sobbed, and

And the truth is……
“What am I doing here? That’s a bold question to ask, considering what you just said. So let’s try again, what the fuck are you doing here?” I retorted and he released a frustrated sigh. He turned away from me and I quickly put on voice recording on my phone. I needed to record this for proof. “Look, it’s not what it sounds like.” “Okay well what does it sound like? What is it? Because I’ll be damned if you think that I’m just going to stand here and let you spit bullshit to me.” “Look Arya, you’re a nice girl and I really don’t want you to take this the wrong way but you should really mind your own business.” He placed a hand on my shoulder. “What’s that supposed to mean? Is that a threat?” I raised a brow and he smirked.“It means that you shouldn’t be in things that don’t involve you. It could get really bad for you.” His smirk widened. “Is that a threat Troy. Just because your parents have government influence and power because they’re politicians doesn’t mean I have to be af
