"You're right. That is why I called this emergency meeting. Not many people are interested in getting magazines anymore, which is why I need you guys to go and brainstorm on what would be the most suitable team for this year's edition of the Times Magazine.''

"Why don't we leave it to Gerald and Amanda to submit a proposal? Whatever comes out best would be used as the theme for the magazine," Rebecca, the head of Publicity suggested.

"That's a terrible idea,“ I countered.

"Why?" Leslie questioned. 

 "If you haven't noticed we both have different theories on what is meant to be in a magazine." 

"This is exactly why both of you are best suited for this project. You guys are filled with lots of ideas,“ Damon chipped in. 

"True“ Leslie considered. “I need both of you to submit different proposals to me three weeks from now. You don't have to limit yourself to your Department." 

Now, why do I feel like she is giving Gerald the go-ahead to encroach into my field? The things women do for love. 

“Expect a proposal in two weeks,” Gerald boasted, making me roll my eyes. 

Men and their egos. 

“Meeting is adjourned See you guys in three weeks," Leslie announced as she stood up from her chair and exited the conference room. The rest of us followed behind her. 

I got back to my office to meet a curious Cassie waiting for me. 

“How was the meeting?“ She asked as soon as I stepped in. 

“Depends on your definition of ‘went well' and ‘it was terrible," I replied as I sat down on my chair. 

"I'm speculating it was a combination of both," she concluded 

"Yeah. Gerald was being his usual self all through.“ 

"I need to castrate that excuse of a man. Just give me the go-ahead Ama,“ Cassie raged.

“Stand down soldier. Gerald isn't our top priority right now. We've more pressing issues at hand." 

“Oh, what's up? Has Lorenzo finally accepted our request to interview him?"

Lorenzo Delonte was an Artist. Some call him the magician of music. He is a man recognized around the world for his talents, but on the title page of the pamphlet of all his concerts, no references to him could ever be seen. He didn't do interviews and his fans knew nothing about him apart from his name. We have been trying to secure an interview with him, and he was still yet to answer us. 

"Unfortunately, no. We have three weeks to think of a theme for the fiftieth edition of the Times Magazine." 

“What! That's a huge project.“ 

‘Yeah, it is. And we aren't the only ones expected to submit a proposal. Gerald was also given the task. It all depends on who gives the best idea, I sighed as I explained the whole situation to Cassie. 

Cassie thought for a while before she answered me, ‘Then, we just have to do some research and come up with the best. Idea“ 

I rolled my eyes, ‘Easier said than done“ 

"Don't just start with that attitude," she reprimanded me “There are numerous ideas out there, and we just have to find the one that fits best.’ 

“And what do you propose? Talk about the lifestyle of Artists. We've been doing that. We need to think of something unique that hasn't been delved into. Something that both the young, middle-aged and old people would be interested in,“ I rambled on. 

“Wow, that's a great task. All this brainstorming is making me hungry already. I need to go to the pantry,‘ Cassie whined 

“Speaking of food I forgot to thank you for your help yesterday. You made me have a wonderful breakfast this morning,“ I beamed happily. 

“What are you talking about?“ Cassie asked me looking confused. Perhaps she has forgotten about making me a new pancake batter yesterday. 

"I meant thanks for your help with the pancake batter yesterday. It came out beautiful and—“ 

“Sorry, are you sure all this brainstorming hasn't affected your head?“ Cassie cut me short. 

"I don't understand. Didn't you stop by my place yesterday?" 

“Nope I said I would but I had to go see Martins."

Martins was Cassie's boyfriend who was in the Army. Whenever he was around, Cassie always spent time with him Her excuse was that he wasn't always around, and she could never tell if he would ever come back after every deployment. I wasn't surprised that she felt that way; being a soldier was a risky job. Those men and women sacrificed their lives for their country, and I respect them a lot. 

“Oh, so you didn't drop by my place at all?“ I asked her again. 

“Ama, I just said no. Do you need me to whip you a cup of coffee from the pantry?" She asked as she walked towards the door. 

"Yeah, that would be lovely,“ I forced out as I watched her leave my office. 

What the hell is happening? 

If it wasn't Cassie who helped me in making amends to the batter, then who did? Did someone break into my house? That was the stupidest idea I could come up with. Who would go through the effort of breaking into someone's house just to help them rectify their excuse of a batter? 

Cassie came back into the office holding two cups of coffee in both hands. 

"Here you go she said to me as she handed the cup in her right hand to me 

There's nothing like coffee on a cold morning. And it's best taken with whipped cream and little sugar. 

"I love you, Cassie. You know exactly what I need,“ I mumbled as we both burst into laughter. 

"I'm heading to my office. If you need anything, I'm just a phone call away," she said to me as she walked out of the office. 

“Alright, talk to you later“ I shouted after her before she closed the door. 

I relaxed back into my chair as I savoured the taste of my coffee and thought of the incident with the batter this morning. 

Guess I would have to be more careful and vigilant from now on. I might have done something to the batter without knowing it. Probably that was why it came out better. 

Anyway, I put my laptop on and began making research for the upcoming project. The incidents of this morning were placed at the back of my mind and long forgotten.

    “Shit," I muttered under my breath, avoiding eye contact with Leslie. I couldn't believe the kind of shitty luck I had. The very person whom I was trying to avoid, stood before me. There was no way for me to escape so I garnered what was left of my courage to face her. “Hey, Leslie. It's surprising to see you here this early," I said, laughing awkwardly. Leslie gave me a stern look. “Indeed,” She smirked.“Botox bitch," I muttered under my breath. “So, do you need my help with anything?" I asked her. Even though I was late, it was surprising to see her on this floor so early in the morning. There must have been a reason why she had decided to grace us with her unwilling presence. “Well, I needed to check on a particular person to see how far they had gone with the upcoming project. But, imagine my surprise when I found the office empty with neither the assistant nor Editor in sight,“ she said I sighed. “Sorry, I am late. But the reasons are beyond my power. There was nothing I

    His hands held the sides of my head as he began thrusting into my mouth, loud grunts leaving his mouth. His head was tipped backwards in pleasure and his moans were driving me nuts with pleasure. There was a feeling of pride in hearing him express the effect I had on him through his moans. It was fuel for me to do more. I took more of him into my mouth as my hands moved down between my legs to pleasure myself.I could feel he was close to the edge and I rubbed myself quickly, hoping to come along with him. Within seconds, he stiffened and I could feel warm liquid slip into my mouth. My orgasm hit me immediately like a wave and my legs shook with pleasure. I took all of his cum, swallowing them and not letting any slip out of my mouth. “God, you are incredible,“ Drew muttered, watching me swallow his cum. I giggled in response, standing up from my kneeling position. “Come here," he commanded, drawing me close to him. He kissed me deeply and senselessly. “You are going to be the deat

    I ran the water in my bathroom, hoping to take a quick shower before going to work. The coffee had helped in waking my sleepy bones but I still felt weak. If only I could spend the day indoors and not go to work, I thought. But that would never happen. Leslie would see it as an opportunity to chastise me and give me a query. That was something I wasn't interested in. The water heated up and I quickly jumped into the shower. I squeezed a reasonable amount of my shower gel into my hands and applied it to my body. I didn't bother with washing my hair because that would take more of my time which was the opposite of what I wanted to achieve. After applying the shower gel to my body, I ducked my head under the shower to rinse the soap off. The action prompted me to close my eyes to prevent the soapy water from entering them. I felt a hand wrap around my waist and I jumped in shock thinking an intruder had entered my house. I opened my eyes quickly to see who it was, forgetting that I st

    I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. My head felt like there were so many pins attached to it and I couldn't make clear what happened the previous night. I was tired and felt like I had been run over by a truck. Fuck, I am never letting Cassie take me clubbing again. I muttered "I support that idea," Drew chuckled, walking into my room with a cup of coffee. He was shirtless and I got a flashback of what happened the previous night. He had given me the best orgasm of my life and unfortunately I had slept off after it. My body was exhausted. Although the release had helped in calming down the stress hormones raging around me. Drew strolled towards me and handed the coffee to me. I smiled and gladly took it from his hands, muttering a thank you. I blew on the hot coffee and took a sip. God, it was marvelous. I moaned in satisfaction, enjoying how he took great precaution in making it just how I loved it. “God, this is amazing,“ I moaned. Drew chuckled. “Only you think that

    Drew leaned forward slowly, eyeing my lips, seeking permission to ask for more. I didn't deny him. I let him indulge just as I was enjoying the indulgence myself.We connected again and continued kissing on my bed. I slid further into the bed drawing him along with me. The kiss altered from rough to slow and sensual. I had to give him credit for being able to bring me to my knees with a kiss. His hands continued to explore my body. They ran the length of my body, cupping my breast and I ached into him. He dragged his hands down my abdomen, then further down my leg before he slowly slid up my thighs leaving a trail of fire in their path. A pool of wetness gathered between my thighs as I waited in anticipation for his hands to get to their destination. I spread my legs further apart giving him the permission he needed to touch me deeply. I have craved this for so long and it was about to happen. I couldn't help but Iean into his touch. A soft moan escaped me as he sucked on my bottom

    “Damn, your body is a pure work of art," Drew groaned, his hands roaming around my naked flesh. "I could touch it every day without getting satisfied,“ he added, his hands coming up to knead my breasts. Somewhere along the line, our position on the sofa had changed. I was sitting on his lap, my back resting on his hard chest. I could feel the heat radiating from his skin onto mine. I leaned back into him, tilting my head to the side so he could have full access to my body. I was already far gone and there was no way I was going to be listening to any rational thoughts coming from my brain. I was acting plainly on what my body wanted. I needed to be satisfied after being starved of this pleasure for months. I ground myself on him and he placed a hand on my waist to stop me. I made a sound of disappointment, not liking that he had cut my mission short. “Slow down, babe. We will get there. Let me appreciate your body first," he stated. "I dont need any of that. Just touch me," I dem
