"Can you make me come?" I whisper on the phone, bringing the mic closer to my lips. I sigh and wince softly under my breath as if someone is trying to choke me. My head thinks about him naked in his bed right now. I will do anything for my boyfriend because he likes how much I want to please him. "Are you there, honey? I'm hanging by a loose thread about to explode. I am coming apart by the seams. I need you so badly."
"Oh yes, baby," he wails on his side of the static, about to shoot his stuff around his sheets. "Can I suck on your tits? Your big tits?"
"You can do whatever you want, my love." I increase my pace of breathing, playing along with his dirty game to get him off. He needs it at least thrice a day. "I'm here with my big tits straddling them in your face."
"Oh fuck, oh jeez, fuck me." My heart throbs loudly against my chest. I enjoy hearing him get all turned on. "I would fuck you so hard, Evie, and I'll stretch you all out if you were here in my bed."
"I'm at work, though." I chuckle, enjoying the torture I'm laying over on him. "Unless you want to fuck me in a toilet stall, then I'm all yours, babe."
I can imagine him lying under his sheets, wrinkling his long nose.
"You're gross, sweetie." His voice doesn't have that turned on edge to it, and the simple fact tells me he's done with jerking off for the afternoon. "You know I would never take you anywhere near a public toilet, let alone a workplace cubicle."
"Oh, I know."
I get off the toilet seat and peep out from the cubicle door, hoping no one hears me talking dirty to my boyfriend. When I see that there's no one outside, I exhale loudly, thanking the universe for working along with me.
The moment I get out of the toilet cubicle and move to the sink to wash my hands, another person who works here enters the washroom. I quickly wipe my fingers with the toilet paper hanging loosely near the sink and then dry my almost wet fingers under the air dryer.
Then I go back to my call.
"Hey, I got to go. I need to get back to work."
"Will we be seeing each other at the weekend?" My boyfriend sounds excited to see me. "I can't wait to see you, baby."
"Neither can I, my love. We'll see each other definitely." I smile into the static. "But I really have to go right now. If Kyra saw that I was not at the work table, punching the numbers and designing the next advertising campaign, then I'm almost convinced she'll find a new graduate to run her side of the department."
"Of course, she's your boss." He blows out a loud breath. "You should go. We'll talk later."
"Thank you for understanding my situation, babe. I'll have to call you later. Bye."
"Bye, baby."
The woman disappears into the stall next to the one I was in, and I quickly escape the room, cursing under my breath. It's hard to find a moment to myself since work is always so crazy during the wee hours of noon, especially when one would expect it to slow down so they can catch a breather, but it never is slow around here.
Kyra wanted me to work on a new advertising campaign for this new client we had picked up last week. She put me in charge of designing all the marketing materials since we are about to collaborate with them on launching their latest product line for the international market. The heyday of the internet makes my work all that excruciating because my boss can check the number of clicks, the visitors, and the number of inventory sold with a swipe on her phone's screen. And if you don't know how Kyra works, then you shall find out shortly that she loves to put my ass on the line for pretty much everything.
"Everett, have you checked the data analytics?" She yells as soon as I enter my small office hidden at the end of the floor, stuffed between the horizontal kitchen and the document review room where a bunch of freshly graduated paralegals check contract documents for the company and give their two cents on them. I'm sure our company only hires them to fire them as soon as they move on to the next project because I hardly see the same faces for more than a month at a time. "I told you to check the data and get me the report of inbound leads over two hours ago. What are you up to, huh? Still texting with your boyfriend?"
I bow my head as soon as she comes into view and then get busy flipping some files while opening the client's website and punching some numbers in an online excel sheet on the computer.
"It was just one text," I utter my words as softly as I can. "I don't text anyone during work hours."
Kyra breaks into a mean bout of laughter.
"Sure, you don't." She rolls her eyes. "Is that why you keep taking regular bathroom breaks? Do you have a stomach upset or something?" She wrinkles her nose. "Cause I'd sure like to solve the mystery of who's stinking up the bathroom stalls." She puts her fingers around her nostrils. "It reeks so bad. I have already called maintenance thrice this week."
"It's all clear right now." I give her a small smile, stealing a glance from my computer. "My stomach isn't upset." I shrug. "But I sure am having a splitting headache today. I had to splash some water on my face to feel better. My head is spinning."
I put my fingers around my temple, massaging the skin in small circles to convince her of my pain.
"Oh, that makes sense." She thins her lips. "You've been awfully slow this morning." Then she walks back to her office and appears minutes later with a small bottle of aspirin. "Here," she pushes the pill bottle towards me. "Pop some pills and get back to work. We have a lot of work to do. I can't lose you today since the client is breathing down my back asking for updates every hour, and so far, I have had nothing to share."
She shakes her head as I open the bottle, grab a tablet, and then put it under my tongue.
"You have to be certain I get those analytics with some hard data within the next hour, or I won't think twice before firing you after the monthly appraisals. You can't let me down now, Everett."
I shake my head repeatedly.
"You'll get the files at the end of this hour." I sigh. "I'll get behind it. No, scratch that. I'm working on it as we speak."
"Good girl." She snaps her fingers to get my attention. "You better make sure those reports are perfect because they will be going straight to the CEO, and you don't want to know what he's like."
My boss, Kyra Fox, has a terrifying expression on her face. I never thought she'd be the one to be scared of anything.
"He's scary, and I'm not calling him scary because he's like me. No, girlie, he's nothing like me because I'm a peach." She laughs. "He would fire you without thinking twice. No ifs, no buts, and you receive a termination letter in your email. It just comes when you're least expecting it. I'm sure you don't want that, do you?"
I shake my head again.
"No, ma'am."
"Guess you're probably the reason why we'd get to keep our jobs this coming month, so get to work right freaking now!"
With that, Kyra storms out of the room, leaving a weird sensation bubbling in my stomach.
EVERETTWhen Waylon calms down a little, I take his face in my palms and mentally prepare to ask him what's going on in his mind as I watch his shoulders slump and shake. With an unsure hand, I pull him into my chest. Hugging him tightly against my chest, I run my fingers through his hair."I need you as much as you need me, Mr Thorne."He sucks in a deep breath and makes an odd noise at the back of his throat. But he doesn't say anything."I want you in my life, Waylon." Softly, I whisper next to his earlobe. "You're very much needed. Never forget that."Still looking down at his hands, he sniffles loudly."Why are you crying, Mr Thorne?" I slowly chew on the inside of my lower lip. "Is something bothering you?" Exhaling, I try to offer him a comforting small smile. "Maybe I can lend you an ear and hear you out if you want to tell me what's bothering you. At least I can hear all about your problems."He shakes his head softly."It's nothing.""It's not not nothing." Growing unusually
WAYLONI watch her fall asleep in my arms as she softly moans, taking deep breaths. When I caress the side of her head, she melts into my chest and exhales with another sweet whimper that's like music to my ears. I love the sounds she's making. I never thought Ms Fischer would be so vocal in bed. Also, I never thought that she would ask me to be inside her.Gosh, that was so hot.I can't believe I've reached for her, and she accepted me for what I am and let me do that to her.Being inside her was extra hot.Caressing her face as she sleeps on her side, I wrap my free arm around her back, pulling her closer to my chest than she already is. Patting the back of her head, I wonder if this passionate night was a culmination of our longing for each other. Maybe we were supposed to wind in bed sooner rather than later. It also explains the loneliness formerly building within me, wanting an escape so I can breathe easily and live my life the way I want to. And being with Everett, I recall th
EVERETT The second the cab pulls up in front of the apartment building, the driver loudly announces we are there. His voice wakes me abruptly from my short-lived shut-eye, and I jolt back a little, but I don't get hurt. Blinking my eyes, I take in the manly hands that hold me in place. Sighing, I realise that Waylon's arms have been around me all this while. His protective arms held me as I had been sleeping on the way home. The moment I zero in on Waylon's facial features, I notice Waylon yawning slightly, as he has been nodding off beside me since his head was resting atop mine, and now he's moving his head side to side to stretch his neck muscles. Making an odd noise in the back of my throat, I slowly lick my lips. Staring at my hands in my lap, I watch him undo the cuffs around his wrists while his arm is still around my shoulder. He slowly straightens himself as he breaks our embrace. Clumsily, he retrieves his hand from resting around my shoulder, glances at my face and offers m
EVERETTGetting into the backseat after Waylon, I stare at him sideways without turning to face him as I watch him adjust his neck against the leather head restraint and sink into it with a sigh. He anxiously moves his knee as his fingers thrum against the fabric of his pants as he stares at the city road outside the car. The conversation we had before we set foot in the cab was something. It makes me wonder if my decision to let him in my apartment this late at night is wrong as I set down the wet umbrella over the back dash.If he didn't want to see me, he wouldn't have been here, sitting next to me.But what if something goes wrong between us tonight?And even if it does, would I hold him fully accountable for that since I said yes to this situation and put myself willingly into it?If things go right, will it be everything I wanted the night to be?Or will I regret it the next day when I wake up and face him at work?Shaking my head to rid myself of spiralling thoughts, I put my f
WAYLON"Oh. I'm sorry, Ms Fischer. I know I'm imposing on you." My eyes rest over the top of her head, and I can see her long hair caressing her shoulders. Her delicate hands hug my waist from the side as she walks beside me. She's helping me walk to the door. Who knew I would drink this much? "Can you call the cab company again? I can wait outside till they can get here.""I'll wait with you." She offers me a little smile. "It's late, and it's raining. It might not be safe to be alone outside, especially when it's difficult for you to stand upright and walk to the door."Shaking my head, I dismiss her statement."You don't need to worry about that. I'll be fine.""Here you go." Ms Fischer playfully pats my back when we finally step outside the restaurant's front door. Then she pulls out an umbrella from her bag and puts it over our heads, covering my head more than hers. I slide my arm across her waist and pull her closer to me. Then I release her from my touch. The sudden action ta
WAYLONDriving back home, I can feel my heart twist in regret. I wish Ms Fischer wouldn't have picked out that photograph from that cluttered mess.How did it even get there?The memories threaten to spill back into my life, but I put a tight lid on them and shove them to the back of my mind. I won't let what has happened in the past mingle with my reality, and I won't let any of that damned time become a part of my present again.Fenella and her reminders can kiss my ass.Pulling my ear pods out of the glove box and putting them in my ear, I start a call from my car's dashboard to Finn, thinking I can use the distraction.After a few long rings, my best friend picks up."Hey, are you in a meeting or something?"After a long beat, he speaks."No, I'm not in a meeting, but I was going through some approval requests. Why are you calling me right now, Way?""Would you like to go get some beers?"He sighs."What has made you change your mind? I mean, why now? Of all the times I have asked
