CHAPTER 3: GIFT

VERONICA

The heavy brass key ground into the lock from the outside, the sound sharp as a gunshot in the tense silence of the HR office.

Arthur scrambled backwards, desperately trying to pull his trousers up over his trembling legs, his face a ghostly shade of white. Christopher merely laughed, adjusting his clothes with a lazy, unbothered smirk as he stepped away from the desk.

Only I remained entirely at ease. I sat on the edge of the mahogany desk, my emerald wrap dress bunched around my waist, my bare legs swinging casually as if I were waiting for a bus rather than catching the wrath of the senior partner.

The door swung open, and Collin Vassal stepped inside.

He didn't look shocked. He looked furious, his dark eyes sweeping over the scattered pens, the dishevelled HR director, and finally settling on me, dripping with the evidence of his partner’s release. Without a word, Collin reached back, pulled the door shut, and turned the key, locking them all in once more.

"Collin, look, we were just—" Chris started, holding his hands up in mock surrender.

"Shut up, Christopher," Collin snapped, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that cut off his partner instantly. He walked forward, his expensive oxfords silent on the carpet, stopping right in front of the desk where I sat. He looked down at me, his jaw tightly clenched. "You’ve been on the payroll for exactly three hours, and you’ve already turned my Human Resources department into a brothel. You are a mighty slut, aren't you, Veronica?"

I didn't flinch. Instead, I leaned back on my hands, arching my spine to push my chest out, my eyes glittering with absolute amusement.

"I prefer the term 'highly motivated,' boss," I purred, tilting my chin up. "And you don't need to look so worried. I’m completely clean, and I’m on the pill. I just saw how stressed poor Artie here was, and I decided to give HR the most thrilling time of his life. Isn't that what a good secretary does? Anticipate the needs of the firm?"

Arthur let out a weak whimper from the corner, clutching his belt.

Collin’s gaze darkened, the sheer, unashamed audacity of my words completely shattering the last of his professional restraint. He reached out, his large, calloused hands gripping both of my breasts through the torn fabric of my dress, squeezing them hard enough to leave a bruise. I let out a sharp, delighted gasp, my fingers digging into the mahogany wood.

"You think you’re in control here, don't you?" Collin growled, his thumb brushing roughly over my hardened nipple. "You think because you can slide your skirt up, you own this office?"

"I don't want to own it," I whispered, her breath hitching as he squeezed harder. "I just want to play in it."

"Then let’s play by my rules," Collin said.

He grabbed me by the wrist, hauling me off the desk. He didn't waste time with gentleness. He dragged me across the small room toward the narrow, black leather couch tucked against the wall. He threw me down onto it, my legs spilling over the armrest. Before I could even adjust, Collin stripped off his suit jacket, tossing it to the floor, and unbuckled his belt. His erection was already fully formed, thick and rigid, straining against his underwear.

"Chris. Arthur. Get over here," Collin commanded, not looking back as he stepped between my thighs. "If she wants to be the firm's whore, she's going to earn it."

Chris grinned, his roguish charm completely replaced by a feral hunger as he unbuttoned his shirt again. "Don't have to tell me twice."

Arthur hesitated for a fraction of a second, but the sight of my flushed, eager face and Collin’s commanding posture stripped away the last of his corporate anxieties. He dropped to his knees by the side of the couch.

Collin didn't ease into me. He grabbed my hips, lifting me slightly, and drove his thick length deep inside my soaking, well-used core with a brutal, punishing thrust.

"Ah! Collin!" I shrieked, the sheer force of the impact knocking the air from my lungs.

It was a brutal, relentless pace from the very first stroke. Collin slammed into me over and over, his face twisted in a mask of pure, possessive lust. He didn't care about finesse; he wanted to dominate me, to show me exactly who held the power in Vassal & Bane. The leather of the small couch squeaked frantically against the wall, the heavy thuds of Collin's hips echoing through the enclosed space.

I arched her back, my fingers clawing at the black leather cushions. I loved it. The roughness, the lack of care, the absolute filth of it fed right into my shameless nature. I took every hard, deep pound, my inner muscles clamping down on him like a vice, driving him into a frenzy.

"Suck it, Veronica," Chris ordered, stepping up right to the edge of the couch, his rigid cock hovering inches from my face.

I didn't hesitate. While Collin was brutally hammering into me from below, stretching me to my absolute limits, I wrapped her lips around Chris’s shaft, pulling him deep into my throat. I sucked him with a fierce, messy intensity, my eyes rolling back in pleasure as I was thoroughly used from both ends.

Arthur, seeing his chance, leaned over the back of the couch. His hands reached down, grabbing my breasts, his fingers pinching my nipples as he whined in pleasure. He couldn't get back inside me with Collin taking up all the space, so he used his mouth, biting at my neck, my shoulders, tasting the sweat and perfume on my skin.

"God, you take it so well," Collin growled, his thrusts becoming faster, more violent. He pinned my knees closer to my chest, driving himself even deeper, hitting my sweet spot with a ruthless accuracy that made my brain short-circuit.

I couldn't keep Chris in my mouth anymore. I pulled back, gasping for air, my head thrashing against the cushions. "Yes! Collin, harder! Break me!" I screamed, completely uninhibited.

Chris didn't let me rest. He moved around the couch, positioning himself right against my backside. With a wicked grin, he guided his wet length into my tight, untouched rear.

I let out a choked, muffled scream as I was split wide open by both partners simultaneously. The double penetration was overwhelming, a tidal wave of intense friction and pressure that made my entire body tremble. Collin didn't slow down for me to adjust; he kept up his brutal rhythm, while Chris began to slide in and out of my behind, creating a devastating, agonisingly perfect counter-rhythm.

"Look at her," Chris panted, his hands gripping Collin’s shoulders for leverage as they worked her together. "She was made for this."

"She’s ours," Collin growled, his face covered in sweat, his eyes fixed on Veronica’s face.

I was completely gone, my mind drowning in pure, unadulterated ecstasy. My body tightened, my core spasming violently around Collin while my tight rear clamped down on Chris. The contractions triggered a massive, explosive orgasm that ripped through me, making me scream until my throat was raw.

The feeling of my coming around them was the breaking point. Collin let out a guttural, animalistic roar, driving himself into me one last time as he came, his hot release flooding my deep inside. A second later, Chris stiffened, groaning loudly as he spent himself inside my rear, his body shaking against mine.

Arthur, unable to hold back any longer just from watching the display, groaned and came all over my exposed stomach and thighs, his chest heaving as he collapsed against the side of the couch.

For several minutes, the room was silent except for the sound of four people desperately trying to catch their breath. The air was thick with the scent of sex, sweat, and expensive cologne.

Chris was the first to pull out, stepping back with a satisfied, lazy grin. He reached for a handkerchief from his shirt to wipe himself down. Collin slowly pulled out next, looking down at me.

I was a complete mess. My emerald dress was ruined, covered in sweat and the fluids of three different men. My hair was a wild, tangled nest against the black leather. But as I looked up at Collin, a slow, triumphant, and utterly unashamed smirk spread across my lips. I looked like a queen on a throne.

Collin stared at me for a long moment, a cold, calculating respect forming in his eyes. He reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a sleek, silver electronic key card. He dropped it right onto my bare, sticky stomach.

"What's this?" I asked, my voice raspy as I picked up the card, turning it over in my gold-tipped fingers.

"The keys to the penthouse on 5th Avenue," Collin said, adjusting his trousers and buckling his belt with smooth, restored professionalism. "Bought it in your name. It's yours. The security passcode is your birthday."

My smirk widened, my eyes flashing with a wicked brilliance. I didn't even ask how he knew my birthday. I knew exactly what this meant. I wasn't just a secretary anymore; I was their kept little secret, and the perks of the position were getting better by the hour.

"I’ll see you at your desk tomorrow at eight, Veronica," Collin said, turning toward the door. "Don't be late. Arthur if you ever lay your hand again you're fired."

Arthur stammered "Yes boss."

"Wouldn't dream of being late boss," I purred, holding the key card against my lips.
