Grace watched Scott from across the room, waiting for Scott to finish getting ready to go out for lunch - just lunch and not a date. Grace seemed to need to remind herself one more time, the man named Scott she was staring at intensely at the moment, was only helping her because Grace was her boss's friend. Nor is it a source of new fantasies to make his mind fly wildly everywhere. Grace, just a little feel, accepted? And comfortable?While waiting for Scott to leave, Grace saw that Scott was the type of guy who knew how to take care of himself and manage his appearance without being seen as menor or extravagant. Scott lets his unkempt hair fall, without detracting from the impression of a neat short cut. Grace also likes Scott's smart casual style, looks professional wrapped around her fit body. Scott isn't a gym fan, but it's clear he's trying to keep his body in shape.Grace suddenly doubts her sexual orientation. She didn't feel like she had ever been attracted to men. The paranoi
Just before dinnertime, Grace got a message from someone she'd been waiting for for weeks. Asking her on the phone is fun as if nothing happened. With the new pretext of getting a place and time that is safe and away from anyone's supervision. On the other side, Evelyn was nervous about apologizing to Grace. Begging if necessary. It seems that the second option has a higher chance of success, since Grace's first sentence when she picked up the phone was: "After all this time? Are you kidding me?!""I-I'm cornered, Grace." Evelyn bitterly answered Grace's scathing greeting. Grace even snorted harshly. "That is not the main point …. wait a minute. How come I'm the one to blame?""What do you mean?""Aren't you sticking with me yourself? You just left.""Why the hell not?!" Gracel snapped. "You, who say you love me, are clearly not defending me and not holding me back." Shit."Grace, please.... I know I was completely wrong. But as long as it's not over, can't we deal with it from now on
"Evelyn called me this afternoon." Grace opened the conversation after the two movies were over and Scott's eyes started to get heavy. Hearing this, Scott immediately woke up."Finally." Grace heard a hint of bitterness in Scott's answer. "What did she tell you? I'm glad you guys can finally communicate.""It's not what you think. She didn't even apologize for what happened a few months ago and instead blamed me because I couldn't stand up for myself." Scott straightened his back when he heard that. One of his eyebrows shot up as if to ask what Grace meant. "Evelyn immediately cornered me as if I wasn't trying to contact her, not trying to hold on to her, let alone not trying to repay all of her efforts.""I understand you, Grace. You must be very disappointed even though you've been trying to survive all this time, in these uncertain conditions, just for Evelyn. But I hope you also need to understand Evelyn. You must also know that her position is also hard for her.”“If you still wa
"You should be labeled a danger, Grace," Scott said the morning after that conversation, while they were watching a morning cartoon in the living room. "I need to keep my distance from you." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand."It's okay to be close without doing something, Scott.""Isn't that what's been happening to us for the past few months?" the man reminded her, "I... have never felt so wild.""And I'm not complaining at all." Grace didn't like them keeping their distance like this. She reached out to touch the man's upper arm. She stroked it gently while giving him puppy eyes."Wait a minute, I'll make some tea." The man jumped off the couch before Grace could protest. Scott walked over to the electric kettle and a stainless tray containing two ceramic cups. "You want to?""I don't mind.""Grace....""Hmmm?" The one who was greeted immediately glanced over her shoulder."I think this is the right time to make another confession to you.""Not som
"I won't hurt you," Scott whispered a promise in Grace's ear. "I've been thinking about it ever since that kiss. I'm sure you have great taste." "Ohh..." was all Grace was able to expel from her mouth. Grace blinked, realizing there was no way she could back away from her original plan. With a low nod, she gave Scott permission to continue. For a moment, Scott didn't move at all. Grace could feel the heat of his gaze slowly tracing every inch of her body. She bit her lip. Before Scott even touched her again, her body was already fidgeting like this. Scott helped Grace get her nightgown off her head. The woman then closed her eyes and let her imagination take over her mind. The fantasy only lasted a moment as reality approached her like a tidal wave. Grace moaned softly as she felt Scott's warm hand cup the secret garden under her panties. A moan turned to a wary growl, Grace didn't even dare to open her eyes at all. She now felt Scott's nuzzle, a combination of a wet touch and a sof
Pearl POVThey always loved to give me a grand entrance. I stood behind the velvet curtains while the last dancer came back letting out a sigh of relief. Her lingerie wasn’t as complicated as mine, but then again, she hadn’t been here as long as me. She wasn’t as loved as me. The crowd was already cheering, already knowing I was next.“And up next,” began the announcer as I rolled my shoulders back and placed my hands on the inside of the curtain, “the one you’ve been waiting for! The amazing Pear!” I threw open the curtain, arms raised and beaming to the crowd. The cheering grew louder. But I didn’t see them, not against the lights. The pole stood in front of me and I strutted towards it with full confidence. I could care less about the crowd. Their cheers and praise were amazing of course, but most of it was coming from men who just wanted me for my body. Whatever it took to get paid. T
Evelyn POVThe loud clicking of my keyboard filled my dull office as I sent out my morning emails. I changed the tab to my calendar. Around the ten o’clock region in bright red was “Mr. Armstrong Update”.“Scott!” I yelled as I continued to type away on my computer. A young man of about twenty-five with plain brown hair and rounded glasses that made him look like a middle schooler came into my office a few seconds later.“Yes Evelyn?” he asked before catching his breath. We’ve been good friends for years so he was the only person in this office who referred to me with my first name. For everyone else, it was Ms. Frost.“Did you send those interns the numbers for their presentation today with Mr. Armstrong?” I asked turning my eyes to Scott. There was a moment where the only sound in the office was the flick of Scott’s finger as it ran
Evelyn POVThe meeting went horribly. So horrible in fact that he pulled out his investment completely. When the interns were completely unprepared and their presentation was a shitshow I explained that they were new employees with this being their first meeting. I was hoping to get some sympathy out of Mr. Armstrong, but that’s when those stupid interns admitted that they were interns. Mr. Armstrong took great offence to the idea that I put interns on his meeting.“If I’m so unimportant that my meeting deserves mere interns, I suppose my investment isn't important enough for you. I’m pulling out.” In an angry huff, he left the room. I fired the interns on the spot. I spent the rest of my day hunched over my computer trying to patch things up with Mr. Armstrong and reconfiguring finances.Those dumbass interns ruined everything for me. Mr. Armstrong was one of our oldest investors, being her
