SEAL of Approval by Lynn Faye, Sarah J. Brooks (55)

“Nothing about last night went well,” Matthew said as he pulled me into the office at work the next day.

“I beg to differ. I think everything went extremely well.”

I couldn’t help but smile. My interpretation of the evening's events was perfect. I had caught Matthew’s attention and got Senator Masson alone for a little bit. I had made friends with some of the interns and some of the women who led the men of Washington. In my opinion, the night had been totally successful.

“I don’t get why you spilled the wine on George’s wife. What was that? Was that an accident?”

“Matthew, man of such little faith. Of course not. Did you see that Senator Masson came after me?”

“Yes, but he was only gone a minute or two.”

“He was gone long enough to help me out of my stained dress and into a pair of his gym clothes.”

I saw the expression change on Matthews face. I wasn’t sure if he was angry, jealous, or some other combination of emotions. But I could tell that I needed to get out of his office before he bent me over his desk and either fucked me or spanked me.

“What do you mean?” Matthew said with a tone of rage in his voice. “I said to flirt with him. Not fuck him.”

I wasn’t in the mood to argue with Matthew and I thought I had probably teased him enough. He was angry and I didn’t like seeing that. As much fun as it was to tease him, I couldn’t purposely hurt him.

“Matthew, the naked form is something beautiful. Don’t worry. He didn’t get to play with the merchandise. Just a quick show to keep him interested,” I said as I started toward the door.

“He’s going to want to fuck you now.”

“How do you know that? He seems faithfully devoted to his wife,” I lied.

I knew damn well that George Masson would willingly fuck me at any time if I was to give the go ahead. But I certainly didn’t think that Matthew needed to know that information.

“He’s a man. That’s how I know.”

“Not all men are total scumbags,” I said as I opened the door.

“Fine, I’ll finish the project. You don’t have to yell at me!” I screamed as I stomped back to my desk.

Everyone in the office looked up at me and then over at Matthew who stood in the doorway. I couldn’t help but turn back toward him and smile.

It was his idea to have everyone think he was a jerk, I was just helping to make his idea come true. I was going to make sure that none of our interactions were construed as sexual in nature at all.

Matthew slammed his office door and I saw Steven come over toward me.

“I’m fine, I don’t want to talk about it,” I said as I pretended to be upset.

Steven took the hint and went back to his desk. I went back to work and actually finished the project I had been working on. I needed to be a useful member of the office so I was making sure I did more than my fair share of work each day. By the end of the day I tried to leave later than most people but not as late as the last person in the office. There was a fine line between working hard and sucking up and I needed to follow that line as closely as possible.

“Can you convince Masson to run for house speaker and to get Edwards onto the Arms Committee?” The text from Matthew said just after I left the office.

“I’m not sure. Do you want me to try?”

“I think we should talk about it first. I’ll meet you at your place,” Matthew responded.

“No. I can come to you. Don’t come to my house.”

“Matthew.”

“Matthew.”

He didn’t respond back to me. I was certain he was already sitting in front of my house with Raymond when I finally got off of the subway and drove home. I cringed when I was right and saw his SUV parked in the street.

I knocked on the window and Raymond rolled it down. I looked in the back seat, but Matthew wasn’t there. I looked around and then up at my apartment, which had all the lights on.

“Where is he?” I asked.

“He’s in your apartment,” Raymond said as he pointed up there.

“Fuck,” I said as I turned to walk into my building. “He just thinks he can do whatever he wants to do.”

“He pretty much does,” Raymond hollered after me as I stormed into my building.

My apartment was a shit hole and the last thing I wanted was for Matthew to be inside there. He didn’t need to come over. His place was very nice and we should have just met up there. But Matthew seemed to do whatever he wanted to do whenever he wanted to do it.

“You can’t just break into people's apartments whenever you want.”

“I didn’t break in. I had your sweet super let me in.”

“Matthew, why couldn’t we just meet at your house?”

“You live here? I don’t understand why you are alright with this?”

“Not everyone has the money to live in a mansion or a fancy penthouse. I like my apartment just fine. Now do you want me to cook something for you or should we go out?”

“First, business talk. I need to get Masson to run for house speaker and Edwards onto the Senate Arms Committee. How are we going to make that happen?”

I took off my work clothes slowly as we talked. I knew it was distracting. Matthew and I reveled in every moment of it. I loved the way he looked at me when we were alone. His eyes lusted after me with an intensity I hadn’t seen before in a man.

“You should work on Edwards. Get him prepared to work the committee. I assume you know what you want from him once he’s on the committee?”

“Of course.”

“Alight. Then I can work with Masson on the rest.”

I was just about to pull my sweats on when Matthew grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

“No. No clothes.”

“It’s cold in here Matthew.”

“Let me look at you.”

I stood still in front of Matthew and watched his eyes as they looked me over from my toes all the way up to my eyes. He devoured every inch of me and seemed to really enjoy it. Matthew was caught up in his own world as he gazed at my body, nothing else in the world seemed to matter to him at that moment.

“Can I get dressed now?”

“Turn around.”

I did as he asked.

“Matthew, you already know what I look like naked. I’m putting my clothes back on,” I said as I reached down for my pants.

Matthew grabbed me and threw me down onto the bed. My mattress was on the floor without any box spring so it was a long way to fall as he pushed me. I flipped over and looked up at him as he continued to stare at me. Slowly he took off his suit and placed each item on the chair next to my bed.

“Do you think you can convince Masson?”

“Yes.”

“How will you do it? Are you going to fuck him?”

“I don’t think I’ll have to. I think I can tease him into doing just about anything.”

“Don’t fuck him. Alright?” Matthew said as he climbing onto my bed.

For a brief moment, I wanted to tease him about being jealous, but I could see in his eyes that he really did not want me to fuck anyone else. That was a good thing, I liked that he wanted to keep me for himself. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get Masson to do what we needed him to do without fucking him, but I certainly wouldn’t tell Matthew what I had to do.

“I’m going to fuck you now,” I whispered and pulled Matthew’s lips to mine.

Matthew didn’t waste any time. He picked me up and flipped me over so I was on top of him. His hands held onto my waist as I slowly slid over his bulging cock. I felt him fill me up and I moaned with delight as I moved on top of him.

“Tomorrow. We need to go have lunch with Masson or at least you do,” Matthew said.

“Can we talk about this later?” I whispered as I pressed my hands onto his peck muscles.

As he grabbed my ass and moved me back and forth on his cock, I thought I was going to pass out the pleasure was so intense. My whole body shook quickly and I felt the pleasure inside of me.

“Is that a yes?” Matthew asked slightly out of breath.

“Fine, yes, yes, yes…” I screamed out as I moved my hips harder against him.

I thrust my clit up against his body in an attempt to finally get to the climax that I wanted. Matthew held onto me and thrust one hard, deep thrust as his body let go of every last bit of stress he had inside of him.

I was starting to feel really damn comfortable with Matthew. It made me a little nervous. Things between us weren’t exactly like a typical relationship and I still felt like I could be disposed of at any moment.

When I collapsed next to Matthew there was a brief moment when I wondered if he and I could have an actual future together. I knew there were glimpses of that in his eye sometimes, and I wasn’t really sure it was what I wanted. But I had to wonder if it was ever going to be in our future. Was he ever going to want to go to dinner or just see a movie like a regular couple?

My memory of our first night together was still so fresh. He was sweet and kind. Not nearly the asshole he had turned out to be. And I mean asshole in the kindest of ways. I knew he was trying to climb his way up in Washington, but I just wanted that Matthew back that I met on our first night in Chicago. That Matthew was the man of my dreams.

“Call me tomorrow after you’ve talked to George Masson, I’d like to know how things went,” Matthew said as he stood up and started to get dressed.

I tried to hide my disappointment, but I just couldn’t. It must have shone through brightly on my face because Matthew leaned down and kissed me sweetly.

“Alright,” I said.

“Good, I’ll work on Senator Edwards and we can touch base later this week. I’m traveling for the next couple of days, but I’ll be available via text.”

I just lay there and watched Matthew as he finished getting dressed and prepared to leave. It felt oddly like he had only come over to get me to do his bidding with Senator Masson. It felt like he had totally used me.

“Come say goodbye,” Matthew ordered as he grabbed my hand and pulled me off the bed.

“Goodbye,” I said curtly.

“You’re a beautiful girl Kayla. I think we will be able to go far together,” Matthew said as he kissed me one last time before leaving.

There was so much I wanted to say in response to him. So many things that did not sit well with me. How dare he try to play me like that? Yes, I was young and I wanted to move up in Washington. But I wasn’t anyone’s errand bitch and Matthew needed to know that sooner rather than later.

Oh, I was going to meet with Senator Masson. But I had my own agenda of what needed to be covered and it might not include the same things as what Matthew wanted.

I stood naked at the window and smiled at Matthew as he drove away. He certainly didn’t know at all what I was capable of.
