TAKEN AT THE RED CARPET GALA
William & Sons Inc. Alexa stood outside her new work and craned her neck to stare at the giant, expensive looking sign on the front of the twenty three story building. It was the home of one of the most prestigious production companies in LA, and she had finally landed a position within its walls.
Alexa, a medium height woman with shoulder length auburn hair and deep blue eyes had spent her whole life working up to this day. She spent thousands of dollars and what seemed like endless days in university to obtain the proper schooling, and then felt like she wasted her time working with smaller companies for six years. Now, at the age of twenty nine, she was finally where she wanted to be. It wasn’t her dream position, she would rather be working directly with the film producer, but at least it was a job. She was going to be the secretarial assistant to the personal assistant of Jeremy William, one of the ‘Sons’ on the sign. From what she understood, he was the brother who found all of the movies, singers and anything else for the company to produce. The other brother, Marcus, was the actual producer, on the set. As far as she knew, their father was retired.
Alexa realized she had been standing in the same spot, just staring up and so she shook herself. She took a deep breath, smoothed her hair, and made sure her clothes were where they needed to be. One down fall of working with the smaller companies was that when Alexa was bored, she ate. She was bored a lot. She went from being a slim size seven, to a chunky size twelve in just six years. She hated the way she looked, but she knew it didn’t change the fact that her husband John still loved her, and that she was good at what she did. Even though the job she landed wouldn’t use all of her skills, she planned to work her butt off and prove that she could be better on the set.
She was finally ready to enter the building. She stepped forward and pushed open the big double doors. Good thing she had showed up early, her little zone out had cost her ten minutes. The lobby was busy, bustling with people. She made her way over to the reception desk and waited for the girl to be done on the phone. She could not have been very old, maybe twenty one or twenty two. She sounded like she was trying to calm someone down. Alexa stood patiently and waited. Finally the girl was done and switched her focus to Alexa.
“What can I do for you?” She asked in a very polite voice.
“I’m supposed to be starting my first day here. I’m Alexa Montgomery.”
“Ah, yes. Liz is waiting for you. Go on over to the elevator and take it to the sixteenth floor. She should be waiting there for you.”
“Thanks a lot.”
The girl smiled warmly at Alexa and then switched focus again. She definitely had a busy job.
Alexa crammed in to the elevator with a number of other people. All of them either talking on their cell phones or emailing on their cell phones. It made her a little bit jealous; she was hoping that would be her some day.
The elevator stopped on almost every floor to let people out, seemed like forever before she finally reached the sixteenth floor. She could not imagine what it was like to be on the top floor. She stepped out of the elevator and looked around. The floor was full of cubicles, and all she could hear was the sound of everyone talking at once and phones ringing. She spotted a short blonde woman who she assumed was Liz. She had her back turned to Alexa so she walked up and tapped her on the shoulder.
“Liz?” She questioned.
“Oh!” The woman yelped, “You startled me. Yes, I’m Liz. Are you Alexa?”
“I am.” She smiled at the woman, still holding her hand against her heart in a startled look. She was a very short woman, with curly blonde hair that had streaks of grey running through it. Her eyes were light blue and very kind, and the light crow’s feet around her eyes proved that she smiled a lot. Alexa liked her, she had already decided. She was relieved that Liz was her boss.
“Okay, so this is the floor where all of the customer service is done. The staff room is also on this floor, let’s start there.” Liz turned and started walking.
Alexa spent the first part of the day just getting a tour of the huge building. Liz explained what was on each floor and where she would be able to find things. Turns out, Alexa would be working on the twenty second floor with Liz. The top floor was used exclusively by Jeremy William, and he would page Liz if he needed anything at all. Alexa’s job would be to ensure that Liz had everything that she needed to be able to make sure that he had everything he needed. Her job also included paper work, phone calls and pretty much anything else that needed to be done.
The twenty second floor was much more spaciously laid out than the cramped sixteenth floor. There were a couple of large offices; the marketing was all done on this floor, seemed like it was all very important people. That made Alexa feel a little better about the job, it wasn’t the one she wanted but at least she was on the important floor.
Liz’s office was huge with a giant oak desk and beautiful couches and there was even a fire place. Alexa had heard that she had worked with the Williams for over 20 years, and they obviously showed their appreciation. Alexa’s office was not nearly as nice. It was a little room that was adjacent to Liz’s; it had a plain desk that was about half the size of hers and some cozy looking chairs. Alexa was happy with it, because it wasn’t her old job in her old cubicle.
After her tour, Alexa mainly watched Liz work for the most part. She would do small errands occasionally, but mainly just watched to see what she really did. At lunch time, Jeremy paged her asking for her to get him lunch.
“Of course, right away Mr. William.” She said to him, and to Alexa she said “let’s go, I’ll show you what Mr. William gets for lunch in case you ever need to get it for him.”
The two women rode down on the elevator and walked to a small sandwich shop that was a couple of blocks down from the building. Liz ordered her own sandwich and the one for Mr. William. “Ham and cheese on rye, toasted, dry bread, mayo and pickle on the side please.”
“He gets that every day?” Alexa asked Liz after she had ordered her own sandwich and they had paid.
“Yep, it’s his favorite.” Liz smiled.
They walked back to work and got back in the elevator. Liz hit the button for the twenty third floor, and up they went. Unlike every other time Alexa had been on the elevator, it didn’t stop at any other floors. They rode all the way up with no interruptions. Liz must have noticed Alexa’s confusion, because when they got off she explained.
“The elevators are programmed so that if someone is going to the top floor, or coming down from the top floor it will automatically go there first. Mr. William isn’t very patient.” And then she laughed. “He always gets where he needs to go first.”
Alexa didn’t say anything, she just thought about that quietly. She finally focused on where she was and was shocked. The whole top floor was made of all glass walls around the outside, it was gorgeous. They were standing in sort of a waiting room; there were some plants, some other decorations and a couple of cozy black couches. Then there was a big brown door. They walked through it together and she saw that it led directly in to Mr. William’s office. It was huge; all done in dark colors, and all the outer walls were again, glass. It really was breath taking.
Alexa looked around a bit more and then realized that there was no one sitting at the giant dark wood desk. Just when she was about to ask, she heard a door open to her left and glanced over.
She was in shock again. This time not by the beautiful room, but by the beautiful man who was standing in it. Compared to him, the room looked like a room in a shack. He was gorgeous. Tall, olive skin, flaming red hair and his eyes were so dark they looked like they could be black. He was sporting a scruffy beard, which was the exact color of his hair, a black dress shirt which was open at the top and a pair of nice black pants. Alexa wasn’t sure if she had ever seen a man so beautiful. She had heard he was good looking, but didn’t bother to find a picture of him. Maybe she should have, and then maybe she wouldn’t be standing in his office holding a sandwich with her jaw hanging open.
“Hello Liz, who is this you have here?” He turned to Liz and smiled. His voice was just about as sexy as he was. Smooth and deep, made Alexa want to just sit and listen to him talk.
“Hi Jeremy, this is Alexa. She is my new assistant. Today is her first day so I thought I’d better show her around. And of course show her the sandwich shop.” She smiled up at him. He was a good foot taller than her.
“Well that’s wonderful.” He said in that silky voice. Then he looked at Alexa, she watched him run his eyes up and down her body until it finally landed on her face. He made eye contact with her and it made her want to squirm. She handed him the sandwich she was holding for him, and tried to smile.
“It was very nice to meet you Alexa; I look forward to you working with us.” He grabbed her and before she could take it away and shook it firmly. It felt almost like a shock when he touched her, it made Alexa gasp. She got over it quickly so she could answer him.
“Thank you Mr. William, I’m so happy to be here.”
“Please, call me Jeremy.” He let go of her hand and winked at her.
Alexa didn’t say anything back. Liz turned and started to walk out of the office so she did the same. They got in the elevator and headed down a floor to enjoy their own lunch.
“Is it just me, or is he super hot?” Alexa said to Liz on the ride down.
“He is a good looking young man isn’t he?” She smiled, seemed like she was always smiling.
The rest of the day was spent doing more of the same. Alexa watched Liz while she worked and took a few notes. Even though she didn’t do all that much work, she was exhausted by the time she got home.
She was super happy to see that supper was done and ready for her. She ate, showered and went to bed. She was too tired to do anything else. Alexa woke up bright and early the next morning, ready for another day of work.
“Good morning.” She said to Liz when she walked off of the elevator on their floor.
“Good morning Hun.” Liz smiled back at her.
The ladies had a busy morning, Alexa got all set up on her computer with passwords and programs and such. Then she was put to work entering in numbers. She was already familiar with the system so it was easy for her. She finished that up quickly and went back to Liz for more. She made a couple of phone calls, and asked a lot of questions.
When she had a little free time, she went exploring. She headed down on the elevator to the front lobby. The girl that was working the day before was there again. She formally introduced herself and they chatted for a little while. Then she walked around some more, and introduced herself to more of the staff. It seemed like there were thousands of them.
When she was satisfied with the number of people she had talked to, she headed back up to the office. There was still fifteen minutes before it was lunch time so she decided to do a little bit of web browsing before.
She logged on and went to Google. It was probably a good idea for her to know a little more about the men she worked for. She found one good website and read through it. It said that the father, Earl, had founded the company when the boys were young. He and his wife ran it then and they were quite successful. It didn’t become as big as it is now until his wife suddenly passed away. By that time, the boys were both old enough to work and they started. Apparently they were the real reason for all of the success.
Jeremy, the eldest is 32 and went to university for several years in business management. Clearly he is good at what he does. Then there is Marcus, the younger brother. He is 28 and a huge film producer. He is the one that gets to be on the set and in the action. Alexa felt a little bit of jealousy.
She finished reading through it and scrolled to the bottom of the page where it showed some pictures. There was one of a beautiful red haired woman and a dark haired man. Underneath it said Molly and Darren William. That was their mother. No wonder Jeremy is so attractive; both of his parents are gorgeous.
The next picture was one of three men. One was Darren, one was Jeremy and the other Alexa had never seen before. The caption said it was the boys and their father. She took a good look at Marcus. He was almost as good looking as his brother. He had dark brown hair instead, was clean shaven and had those same deep dark eyes. They definitely were an attractive family.
Liz walked in to the room while Alexa was staring at the picture. She didn’t notice her come in and was startled by her voice when she spoke behind her.
“Are you ready for lunch?” She asked.
“Oh, yes I am.” Alexa said, a little embarrassed to be caught staring at a picture of her bosses.
They walked to the sandwich shop again, it seemed like maybe Alexa would be doing this often. They ordered, paid, and started walking back. When they were almost to the building, Liz’s phone went off. She dug around in her purse for a minute and then answered.
“Hi Jeremy, what can I do for you?”
It was Jeremy, Alexa wondered what he wanted. Maybe he changed his mind about the sandwich. Liz talked to him for a couple of minutes and then hung up the phone. She continued to walk towards the building and said “Looks like Mr. William likes you, he has asked that you deliver his sandwich to him.”
“Um, okay.” Alexa said. That must be a good sign she thought, maybe she could tell him that she was really hoping for a job on production instead of just a secretarial position.
They got back to work and they headed for the elevator. They went all the way up and Alexa got out.
“See you after lunch.” Liz said to her.
Alexa didn’t respond; she just headed towards the door to the office. She knocked and she heard Jeremy yell to just come in.
She pushed open the door and walked in. She looked around at the room again, it really was beautiful. She got closer to the desk and saw that Jeremy was on the phone with someone, the giant chair he sat in was facing the windows.
He said some goodbyes and then turned around to hang up the phone. Alexa took a deep breath, she realized then how much the picture online didn’t do him justice. She could not help but stare at him.
Today he was wearing a purple dress shirt, and another pair of expensive looking pants. Seeing how great he looked made her realize how crappy she probably looked. She hated that she had put on weight.
“How are you today Alexa?” He asked her in that voice of his. Hearing her name roll off of his tongue made her feel giddy. She had a brief thought about her husband, but then brushed it off. She was sure every woman he encountered felt the same way about him. Who wouldn’t?
“I’m great. I am really enjoying the new job.” She held out her hand and said, “Here is your sandwich, I hope you enjoy it.”
“Thanks a lot Alexa,” there was her name again, “why don’t you eat with me today? It gets kind of lonely up here at times.”
She didn’t know for sure what to do, she loved that he was asking her to eat with him, but she felt like she would be too self conscious to eat in front of him. Gosh, she felt like she was in high school again. She could not say no to him though, he was her boss after all.
“Sure, that would be great. I would love to keep you company.” She said shyly to him.
Turns out that she actually wasn’t self conscious around him at all, he was super easy to talk to and he was funny. He asked her all about herself, where she was from, where she worked before, about her schooling and about her family. He seemed especially interested in her husband, and what he did for a living.
She answered all of his questions, having a nice time getting to know him. He told her a bit about himself, some she already knew from the page she had read, and some she didn’t. She learned that they were starting to expand the business, not just producing, but building a chain of hotels and restaurants. They obviously had enough money for it. The first of the hotels was under construction at the moment. No one knew about it because they were keeping it on the down low until the grand opening. He told her that there were plans for it to open next month.
When they were done lunch, and it was time for her to go back to work, he surprised her with what he said.
“I like you Alexa; I think you're very smart.” He paused for a moment, pondering something. “I feel like I can trust you, and so I have a very special project for you to do. I was going to ask Liz, but I know she is already busy with all of the other things I ask her to do. Seems like a perfect job to give to you as her assistant.”
Alexa didn’t know what to say. It was only her second day and she was already being asked to do a special project. She swelled up with pride and smiled the biggest smile she had. “I would love to Mr. William, anything you need.”
He just looked at her for a moment, and then said “Please Alexa, call me Jeremy. I am glad you want to take this on. It’s very important. I need the grand opening of the hotel to be planned. It will take place on site; I want it to be huge, a spectacular red carpet gala. We will need entertainment, food, invites, decorations and all the little details. Do you think you can do it?”
Alexa was ecstatic. This would be awesome. Still not the job she wanted, but it gave her a chance to prove herself to him. “I can do it.” She said simply.
“Excellent.” Jeremy said with a smile. “All of the information you need for contacts and such are in Liz’s office. I have already discussed this with her and she will help you with everything that you need. I too will be able to help you and I want to be kept in the loop throughout all stages. I thought perhaps it would be a good idea if we could discuss the plans at lunch time every day. I am always free for lunch.”
“That sounds great!” Alexa was trying not to show too much excitement, but she just could not help it.
Clearly he could see her excitement and he laughed. “Good, I will see you tomorrow for lunch. Don’t forget the sandwiches.”
She laughed and got out of her seat. “I won’t.”
Just before she got to the door, he called back to her, “I won’t forget what you said Alexa: that you would do anything I need.” He winked.
She opened the door and pressed the button for the elevator. She wondered on her way down what he meant by that.
~
For the next three weeks Alexa worked on planning the gala. She organized entertainment with the approval of Jeremy, booked caterers and set them up to come at lunch one day for her and Jeremy to try the food, and she found the perfect theme to decorate the hotel in. Jeremy showed her the blue prints and described to her what I would look like.
She was having a great time, getting to know him and organizing the gala at the same time. She was getting very excited for the day to come to show off all of her hard work. She showed everything she had planned to Liz, and she seemed like she was impressed.
Alexa was really enjoying the new job. She spent a lot of time walking around the building thinking of new ideas for the gala. She went and chatted with Kelly, the girl in the lobby and she would go and get the sandwiched every day. She started to get the same one Jeremy got, it really was delicious.
She found the perfect invitations to send out to people, and it was amazing seeing the names on the guest list; celebrities that she had only ever dreamed of meeting. She was actually addressing an invitation to them in her own hand writing. She sent them out two weeks before the gala, and within a couple of days she had already received several RSVPs.
The gala was planned for a Friday night, and it was already the Monday before. She had planned to go and get the sandwiches, like normal, but then Jeremy paged her before she was about to leave.
“Don’t go and get lunch yet, can you come up?”
“Yep, be right there.”
She went up to the top floor and met him as she was getting off the elevator.
“I thought we could go out to eat lunch today, if that is okay with you Alexa.” He smiled at her and she melted a little.
“Of course Jeremy, that would be great. I just need to grab my purse.”
“Don’t bother with that, lunch will be on me today.”
With that, they headed down in the elevator and out the doors of the lobby. She started to walk in the direction of the sandwich shop but he stopped her and led her to a car. This wasn’t just any car; it was a brand new corvette. It was jet black, had shiny rims and obviously cost a fortune. He unlocked the doors and opened the passenger side for her.
Alexa was flabbergasted. She had never been in a car this nice. The whole interior was done in tan and black leather, it screamed luxurious.
He went around the car and got in the driver’s side. He started it up and smoothly pulled in to traffic. He handled the car very well, shifting gears with ease. It was a few minutes until she realized that they were going the opposite direction from the sandwich shop.
“Where are we going?” She asked, looking over to him.
“There’s a place I think you’d really like. We can go there.” She didn’t reply; she was happy to go wherever.
They pulled in to a parking lot shortly after and he parked the car. They got out and went inside. The restaurant he had chosen was amazing. The building was huge, and they layout of the inside was incredible. It had a large main floor, filled with tables where guests sat, and then there was an upper part where the bar was and there were some smaller tables. There was a loft as well, it came out about half way across the main floor and looked out over it.
A waitress came up to Jeremy and addressed him a Mr. William. He must have been here a time or two.
“Would you like the regular table?” She asked, fluttering her eyes at him, hoping for a second glance I'm sure.
“Yes please, that would be wonderful.” Jeremy didn’t pay any attention to the waitress, and Alexa felt kind of bad for her. She was pretty cute, and as far as she knew Jeremy was single. Now that she thought about it, she had never seen him with a woman, or even talk about one, other than his mother.
They were led up an extravagant stair case and seated at a table close to the edge of the loft. The decorations were all classy and the music was soft and welcoming. What a great restaurant she thought.
They got menus and she looked over hers. The prices were ridiculous; apparently you had to be a billionaire to eat here. Good thing her boss was one, she laughed internally to herself.
They both ordered, her the salmon and him the beef and then they fell silent as they waited.
She thought she should break the silence. “Do you have a girlfriend Jeremy?” she asked bluntly.
He seemed to be caught off guard. “No, Alexa, I don’t.” he smiled to himself, and she caught a look on his face she had never seen before. It almost looked like lust.
That was the end of that conversation. Instead she decided to talk about work. She wanted to finally tell him about her dream job. He listened carefully as she talked and didn’t say much. When she was done, he was quiet.
“When this gala is done, we might be able to work something out.”
She was going to reply but at that moment the food came. They ate their lunch and didn’t talk about that anymore. When they were finished, he paid and they got back in the car. He started it up, but didn’t go anywhere.
He looked over at her and asked, “what will you be wearing to the red carpet gala Alexa?”
She was a little shocked by his question. Then she realized with all of the planning she was doing, she hadn’t even thought of what she might wear. “I haven’t a clue. What should I wear? I can go and buy something.”
“Hmm” was all he said.
They pulled back in to traffic and headed for work, only they did not go to work. Jeremy pulled in to the parking lot of a high end women’s clothing store.
He turned off the car and got out. He stopped and looked back at Alexa; she was still sitting in her seat. She slowly got out of the car and joined him outside.
“What are we doing here?” She asked
“I want to make sure that you look as good as the hotel is going to at that gala.”
“You don’t have to do that Jeremy.”
“I am going to anyway.” Then he walked in to the store.
Alexa followed him there. They spent the next hour and a half picking clothes for her to try on. She tried not to look at the prices because she knew they would be ridiculous. He picked out some lovely dresses for her to try on, and she picked some pants and tops. Then she tried all of them on in the dressing room. She came out every time to show him what it looked like.
She tried the short red dress he picked, it had an open back and spaghetti straps. She knew right away she was not going to feel comfortable in it. Luckily, he did not like it either. Then she tried one of the top and pant outfits she had put together. The pants were black and had a high waist; she figured that would look good because her waist was the smallest part of her. The top she chose to go with it was made out of the softest material she had ever felt, it was flowy and comfortable, a nice sky blue color. The look she wanted was not the look she got, Jeremy and Alexa both decided that outfit was a no. She tried on what seemed like a never ending pile of clothes, and they found nothing for her to wear.
She was starting to feel pretty bad about herself by the time she got to the last dress. It was long and black, had a halter neck with a pretty low neck line. There was a layer of sparkles that went all the way around the bottom of the dress. The front went to the middle of her calves and the back touched the floor. It was gorgeous, but she didn’t remember putting it in the pile to try on. It must have been Jeremy.
After all of the disappointment, she didn’t think it would look good but she put it on anyway. As soon as she did, she loved it. It fit her perfectly, accentuated all of the right places and made her feel beautiful. She spun around in the changing room and looked at herself in the mirror. With a big smile on her face, she stepped out to show Jeremy.
As soon as he saw her in the lovely dress, he said “We’ll take it, it’s perfect.”
“I love it. I really do.”
“I do too; you’ll look ravishing at the gala.”
She spun around again, laughing. She saw in the mirror that he was watching her. He had that look on his face, the one from the restaurant. This time she was pretty sure it was lust. The look made her stomach flutter and clench at the same time. That could not possibly be for her.
Jeremy got up from her seat and joined her in the mirror. He stood right behind her and placed his hand on her waist. Alexa jumped at the contact, she wasn’t expecting that. Her skin tingled where his hand was touching, and she was hyper aware of how close he really was to her. He came in even closer and pulled her hair away from her neck. Alexa didn’t know what to do, she was shocked. He leaned in closer and whispered in her ear.
“You really are beautiful Alexa. Oh, the things I would do to you.” Then he placed his other hand on the other side of her waist and gently pulled her back so that her butt made contact with his groin. As soon as contact was made, he let out a quiet moan. The sound did something strange to Alexa’s body. She unconsciously spread her legs slightly and pushed in to him even more. He made the noise again. Alexa’s stomach was clenching like crazy, and she could feel a throbbing between her legs. Jeremy slowing started moving a hand, sliding it over her hip and across her stomach. Alexa leaned her head back and rested it on his shoulder.
Abruptly, she pulled away. What was she doing? She was happily married and she wouldn’t cheat on John, especially not with her boss. She didn’t know what had come over her; she has never been so foolish before. There are work place rules, and having an affair with your boss is definitely breaking a couple hundred of them.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do this. I’m married, and you're my boss.” She said in a rush.
“I understand.” That was all he said back to her.
She shakily walked back in to the dressing room and changed back in to her own clothes. She came out to where he was waiting and handed him the dress.
“You really don’t have to buy this for me.” She said awkwardly to him. She didn’t know how to act with him now, would things be really uncomfortable?
“I want to buy it for you Alexa.” He smiled warmly at her. He acted as if nothing had happened. Good, she could roll with that.
They got up to the cash and he placed the dress on the counter. “Oh, just a minute one more thing.” He said as he walked away. He returned moments later with a beautiful necklace and earring set. They were simple and elegant and gorgeous and no doubt real diamonds. He held them up to her and then placed them on the counter with the dress. “We’ll take these too please.” Jeremy paid for the dress and jewelry and it was ridiculously expensive then they both got in the car and went back to work.
~
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday went by in a blur. All of the finishing touches were done to the planning of the gala, and Alexa was very happy with the way they turned out, and she knew Jeremy would be too. Everything had been back to normal with them; there wasn’t even a mention of what happened in the store. Even though they didn’t talk about it, Alexa still thought about it, a lot. She would find herself zoned out in the middle of doing something thinking about how it felt when he touched her. She would have to shake herself out of it and focus harder on what she was doing.
She felt weird at home too, even though John didn’t know anything. She felt like she had betrayed him, even though she stopped before anything had happened. She tried her best to just forget about what happened and go on with normal life. That was hard, however, when she worked with Jeremy so much. She could not help but remember when he was standing right in front of her. She had to get over it, she decided.
Friday came and Alexa went to work early. She packed an overnight bag, because Jeremy had requested that she stay in a room at the hotel that night to be able to make sure everything was cleaned up and taken care of Saturday morning. She arrived at work and went to her office. She had been there maybe ten minutes when the door opened and Jeremy walked in.
“Good morning Alexa, are you ready to go?” He asked her.
“Good morning. Where is it that we’re going?” She questioned.
“I want you to spend the day today working at the hotel. I know you will ensure that everything is set up properly and ready for our guests this evening. Can you do that for me?”
“Of course I can! I would be delighted.” She said. She was very excited to be able to see the hotel for real. She had seen some pictures, and the blue prints but they just weren’t the same. She grabbed her overnight bag and followed Jeremy out of the room and towards the elevator.
They didn’t take his car this time; he had a limo take them there. The drive was quick and she couldn’t wait to see it. They pulled in to a parking lot and she rolled down the window so she could see it better. The building was huge, had to be at least as many floors as the office was. There was a courtyard in the middle of the parking lot that had a beautiful fountain; she could just imagine running her fingers through the cool water.
They pulled up to the front entrance and she stepped out of the car. She walked towards the door and it opened automatically for her. She gasped. The lobby was beautiful. There was a bright red carpet rolled out on top of beautiful marble floors. There was a huge glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling and all of the furniture was black and white and very modern. There was a desk over to the one side, where check in would be done and on the other side there was a door that lead to the restaurant.
The red carpet was rolled out in the lobby so that it made a path to the ‘ballroom’. Alexa followed the carpet and slowly walked to where the gala would be held. She held her breath as she pushed the huge wood doors open, and then all of her air left her in a rush. It was perfect, just perfect. Everything she had wanted was there, a beautiful ice sculpture stood in one corner, and there were tables set up exactly where she wanted them. They still needed to be set up, but that’s what she would do. They had to be done perfect.
Jeremy grabbed her arm and directed her towards the elevator. They got in and he hit the button for the twenty second floor. Yes, there were twenty three just like in the office. They stepped off the elevator and in to a beautiful hall way. He led her to a door and unlocked it.
“This will be your room for the night.” He said as he pushed the door open.
“Wow.” She said as she stepped in to the room. This too was beautiful. The room was huge, with a small kitchen off to the one side and a living area to the other. The bedroom had a giant king size bed and an en suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. She was looking forward to using that later. Jeremy had her bags brought up and then he opened the closet and hung the dress he bought her in it.
“I will see you when the gala starts.” He said, and left the room.
Alexa looked around the room, and then headed down stairs to get to work. She set up all of the tables, putting table clothes and decorations on them. She over saw the food preparation and directed the entertainment where to go. The gala was set to start at eight, and by six o’clock she was all ready to go. All she had to do was get her ready.
She headed up to the room she was given for the night. She walked right in to the bathroom and stripped off her work clothes. She started the tub and filled it with bubbles. When the water was high enough, she stepped in and sunk down. The water felt so nice on her skin, to be surrounded by warmth. She just laid there for quite a while and then decided she better get out.
She toweled herself off and walked to the bedroom. She put on her panties and her bra and then slipped in to the elegant dress. She stilled loved the way it fit, it made her feel beautiful. She then did her hair and her makeup and put on the strappy heals she chose for the night. She may not have a dress suitable, but she definitely had a lot of shoes to choose from.
The last thing she did before headed back downstairs to start greeting people was slip the beautiful necklace around her neck and put in the matching earrings. They really were lovely and she loved the way she looked. She cleaned up nice. She laughed to herself as she left the room.
She spent the next hour watching all of the guests arrive. There were all kinds of celebrities and she felt very important. They all got champagne and talked about how amazing the hotel was. There were camera crews, taping people as they got out of their limos and walked across the red carpet.
She hadn’t seen Jeremy yet, and was watching for him. A black limo pulled up just then and Jeremy stepped out on to the carpet. Right behind him was another man. Alexa go a better look when he stood tall, it was Marcus, Jeremy’s brother. Again, the pictures didn’t do him justice. He was ridiculously handsome, tall like Jeremy and very muscular. They were the best looking pair of men she had ever seen.
They reached the spot where she was waiting and then she followed them in to the ballroom. They started to talk to guests so she made sure everything was running smoothly. That’s how she spent most of the night. She would look over to Jeremy or Marcus every once in a while, and she would see that they were standing together either talking to guests or to each other. At one point she looked over and they were both watching her and having a quiet discussion with each other. Jeremy motioned for her to come over, so she did.
“Is everything alright?” she asked, worried she forgot something.
“Everything is perfect Alexa,” that was Marcus who spoke. His voice was similar to Jeremy’s, but not quite a smooth, his voice was a little rough. It was sexy. “It’s very nice to meet you, I hear this all has you to thank.” He gestured to the room.
“Oh, I tried my best but it wasn’t all me. I had help.” She smiled.
“I told Marcus that you are interested in the production side of the business.” That was Jeremy.
“You did?” she asked.
“He did.” Marcus said. “Would you like to come and work with me?”
“Oh my God, I would love nothing better. I would do anything.”
Jeremy and Marcus exchanged a glace and Alexa got butterflies in her stomach.
Jeremy said, “We have a business proposition for you then Alexa. It looks to me like the guests are all satisfied for the moment; would you like to talk in private with us?”
Alexa didn’t know how she felt about that, but she went with them anyway. She couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to get the job of her dreams. They led her to a conference room that was off of the lobby. She hadn’t noticed it before because the curtains come across and just look like they are part of the lobby walls. The room was dark when they first entered, and Marcus switched on one of the lights. It still wasn’t overly bright but there was enough light to see them.
No body spoke for a couple of minutes and then Jeremy did.
“We want you Alexa.”
Alexa was very confused. “You have me.”
Marcus spoke this time. “Not like that Alexa.” He came closer to her and ran his fingers down her arm. “We want to be inside of you, both of us.”
Everything stopped moving. Alexa didn’t know what to do; she knew exactly what he meant. They wanted her to have sex with them. How could they do that to her? She wanted that job so much, but she couldn’t cheat on John. She was mortified, but also somewhere deep inside of her she was flattered.
“I don’t know.” She said shakily.
Jeremy said to her “Don’t you want the promotion Alexa? And admit it, you want me. What happened in the clothing store wasn’t a fluke. You want me just as much as we want you.”
Jeremy came closer and stepped in behind her. He placed his hands on her waist and pulled her in to him like he had in the store. Her body reacted the same way it had before, her legs spread and she pushed a little more in to him. He moaned. The throbbing started again in between her legs. His hand started to move down her stomach and she didn’t stop him this time. She couldn’t. It wasn’t just because she wanted the job, she wanted him too. She wanted him inside of her.
He rubbed her sweet spot on the outside of her dress and her knees went weak. Marcus walked over to her and put his hands on her cheeks. He took her mouth in his and started to kiss her. He swept his tongue along the bottom of her lip and she let him in. He moved is hands from her face to her breasts. He played with her nipples through the fabric just as Jeremy pulled her dress up enough for him to touch skin.
She moaned when his hand landed on her bare thigh. He slowly moved his fingers up and slipped them under her panties. The pleasure was like a bolt of lightning when he touched her. He only massaged her for a minute and then he took his hand away. He pulled her dress up over her hips and pulled her underwear down. Then he pushed her up against his groin again. She could feel the hardness of his erection on her ass through his pants. He unzipped and pulled them down to his knees. He wasn’t wearing underwear. Jeremy then bent her over the corner of the conference table and slammed in to her.
She moaned loudly. All of a sudden Marcus was in front of her. She reached up and unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down. His erection sprang forward right in to her face. She grabbed it and covered it with her mouth. A moan escaped his lips. She sucked on Marcus, while Jeremy pounded in to her. He reached around her and started to massage again. The friction built up and soon she was right on edge. She couldn’t hold it any longer; she exploded in to orgasm just as Jeremy did too. The waves of pleasure washed over her body and when they finally stopped, she lay still on the table.
She didn’t stay there for long. Now it was Marcus’ turn. He came around the other side of the table and easily flipped her over so she was lying on her back. He grabbed her by the ankles and brought them to his shoulders. Then he slowly pushed himself in to her. She gasped as he filled her to the brim. She reached out her hand and found Jeremy; she grasped his still hard erection and started to pump with her hand.
Marcus started out slow, and every so slowly he built up his speed until he was pounding in to her. Every time he filled her up again she would moan loudly. She didn’t even care at this point if anyone heard them. She could feel another orgasm building up, it got higher and higher and finally she burst in to another body shaking orgasm. In the middle of hers, Marcus experienced his own as well. He moaned loudly and pumped in to her until she was full. When her own orgasm finally ended, she just lay on the table breathing heavy.
She could hear the mean breathing loudly too. The room was hot now, and she was sure she was going to look like a mess. She slowly raised herself off of the table and looks at the brothers. They were both watching her. She smiled sexily at the both of them and started to laugh. Jeremy showed her to a bathroom and she got cleaned up. The three of them put themselves back together enough to go back to the party.
Alexa left the hotel the next day feeling satisfied. She had finally landed the job of her dreams.
