“T his investor could be huge,” I said, standing at the head of the table and talking to the board. “They have the ability to put the money where it matters most, and for us, that is into the technology and the recruitment of new talent. Those are the two biggest things our competitors can pass us by on, and I don’t want to see that happen. We need to be recruiting, and not just from the States, but from around the world—wherever the talent is. We also need to be reaching for the highest and newest technological advances at all times. Those two things combined will send us right up the ladder with this company .”

“I couldn’t agree more,” George, one of the board members, said, tossing the new Forbes out onto the table. “This company is rushing forward full speed, and there is nothing that should be holding it back. That is the new Fortune 500 list, and let me tell you, we are in the top five right now. With your ideas and the financial backing of this new investor, there is no reason we shouldn’t find our name at the top of that list come next year. Number one is our goal, and we can’t let things like recruitment and technology be a hindrance to our success .”

During the meeting, we decided to go with the new investor and start an entirely new recruitment program. We spoke about working in a technology sector of the company but decided to pick back up with that discussion at our next meeting. It was the end of the day, so I gathered my things and headed out of the office, glad to be free for the weekend. When I walked out of the lobby and onto the sidewalk, I stopped, staring at my ex-partner, Patrick. Great. Just what I needed to end my day, a visit from that piece of shit. I took a deep breath and shook my head, trying to walk past him without talking. He reached out and grabbed my arm, turning me toward him .

“What?” I asked, yanking my arm from his grasp .

“You think you have it all figured out,” Patrick said slyly. “You think that by pushing me out, you now have sole control over the company .”

“I’ve always had sole control over the company,” I replied. “Now I just don’t have to split the revenue with you .”

“That’s bullshit,” Patrick said. “You know you would be nothing without me. I built that company right by your side, and you betray me like this. What the fuck, Hunter ?”

“I really don’t have time for this,” I said .

“You’ll have time when I ruin your precious little company,” he said angrily. “I’ll make sure that when it crumbles, it falls straight down on your head .”

I was tired as hell of hearing him run his mouth, and I didn’t give a shit about his attempts at intimidation anymore. He was nothing, and it terrified the shit out of him. He had no power with anyone, and when word had leaked out about why he was pushed out of the company, no one else would give him a job. Sure, he had all the money he would ever need from the severance package we gave him, but he was obsessed with the power, a power that had been yanked right out of his little sniveling hands. I pushed past him, shaking my head, and hopped into the car waiting for me. Looking back at him to see him staring at me, I realized how shitty he looked with a half-grown beard and wrinkled clothing. It was a shame he had turned out that way .

I turned my attention away from Patrick and back onto the progress the company had made that day. I loved days like this, where everything just seemed to fall right into place. Growth was imminent. I had spent most of my life building this company into what it could be, and though I didn’t feel we had reached our full potential yet, I knew we were really close to it .

When I got to the Avalon, I walked quickly into the lobby, glancing over at the café in the hope of seeing Lexi. She wasn’t there, though, and I wondered what she was up to. When I climbed off the elevator and walked toward my door, I quickly learned what she was up to .

“Hey,” she whispered. She was standing at my door .

“Lexi,” I said, unlocking the door and pulling her quickly into the apartment. “You can’t just show up at my place like this. We’re going to get caught. We have got to be more careful, especially after dinner the other night .”

I took off my jacket and walked inside while switching on the lights. I tossed my things on the kitchen counter and stood there, feeling bad for the way that I had talked to her. I should be more understanding and more comforting. This affected her, too. I took in a deep breath and walked back around the corner, ready to apologize .

“Lexi, I—” I stopped in my tracks .

“I just wanted you,” she said, running her fingers down her now naked body while standing in the entryway. “I couldn’t wait any longer .”

My mouth hung open for a moment as my eyes scanned her body. Her perky breasts bounced up and down as she began to walk toward me. Her nipples were hard, and there was a darkness in her eyes that let me know she was ready for me. I closed my mouth and shook my head, feeling her hands as they slipped around my neck. I reached forward and slid mine across her warm bare skin, feeling my cock immediately get hard .

“I thought maybe this would be a good way to end your work week,” she said, biting her lip. “I can leave if you want me to .”

She smiled coyly, and I pulled her close to me, looking into her eyes for a moment before leaning forward and kissing her passionately. She moaned quietly into my mouth as I pushed my hips forward, rubbing my hard erection against her. As our mouths moved wildly against each other, she unlatched her hand and slid it down over my pants, clutching onto my shaft. I groaned, digging my fingers into her back. She pulled away and grabbed me by the tie, leading me into the living room .

She pushed me down on the couch and took off my shirt and tie before tossing them behind her playfully. Slowly, she trickled her fingers down my chest to my pants, undid my belt and zipper, and pulled my pants down to my ankles. She hooked her fingers in the top of my boxers and pulled them down, too, watching as my cock sprung out and bounced back and forth .

With her eyes dark and her mouth curled into a smirk, she leaned over me and ran her tongue over the tip of my cock. I breathed in deeply, feeling her warm, wet mouth against my skin. Her pouty lips parted, and she slid her mouth over the tip and down my shaft, taking me all the way to the base. She pulled her head slowly back up, and I groaned, feeling the suction at the back of her throat. I reached up and ran my fingers through her blond hair, pushing lightly against her head. She slid back down my shaft and stopped at the bottom, contracting her throat around my erection. I growled loudly, feeling my dick fill her mouth. I leaned my head back as she began to bob her head up and down, faster and faster .

Just seeing her head move up and down in my lap pushed me closer and closer to ecstasy, but her mouth made it even harder to stay in control. I groaned loudly as her lips moved up and down my shaft, her eyes looking up at me. I wanted to keep going, to feel her bring me to my fall, to bust my hot stream down her throat and watch her lap it up, but I couldn’t let myself leave her hanging. Knowing that my willpower was running low, I pulled her head up and pushed her back on the floor. I pulled my pants from around my ankles and dropped to my knees before crawling toward her. I pushed her knees apart and licked my lips. She smiled at me, knowing exactly where I wanted to take this .

As my mouth met her pussy, she gasped, throwing her head back and falling onto her back. I was going to make her come, and come hard, no matter what it took. This woman just might be the end of me, but if she was, I was going to make her remember it .
