Yes, I had Googled him and researched all about him already. What girl wouldn’t? He was one of the hottest eligible bachelors in town. Women had to be falling all over themselves to go out on dates with him, yet he wanted me.
Why did he want me?
I tried to have confidence in myself, but it was hard to see why he pursued me instead of any number of other women that he knew. Certainly, I’m not an ugly dog or anything like that. But Josh could have the sexiest of women in the city, and he wanted to go out with me. It was hard to figure out and unquestionably something I kept on my mind whenever I thought of him.
“Alyssa, I have a date. I need to look sexy as hell,” I said as I walked into our apartment.
You would have thought I had just told her that David Beckham himself was taking me out. Granted, I didn’t actually go on many dates, so it was a novelty that I had one for that night. Also, I absolutely never let her get me dressed up for a date because she always tried to make me look sexy. So needless to say, Alyssa was pretty darn excited.
She ran out of her room breathless and excited.
“You … have … a … date?” she said as she jumped up and down with excitement. “Who is he? Do I know him?”
“Don’t freak out,” I said as I tried to hide my smile. “Promise you won’t freak out.”
“OK, OK, I promise! Who is it?”
“The guy from the club that I took home.”
“What? What! Oh, my God. This is the best thing ever. I’m going to make you look like sex on heels.”
“There’s more,” I said as I winced a little.
“What? Is he really weird? I’ve heard those millionaires are a bit awkward,” Alyssa said as she hunched over and made herself look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
“No. But …” I paused for a moment. “He owns the company that I just got hired at!”
We both jumped up and down at the news that I had been hired and that Josh would now be my new boss. It was exciting and exhilarating to think that I would get to see him at work every single day of the week.
As we stopped jumping, Alyssa started to realize why I had winced at the news. Certainly, it was exciting that I had a date. It was also exciting that I had a new job. It was not so exciting that my date was my boss at my job.
Alyssa winced.
“So he’s like your boss?”
“Well, technically I’ll have a boss that I report directly to. But yes, Josh will be my boss; he is the CEO of the company and is involved in all decisions.”
Alyssa started to look a little concerned, and I knew exactly where she was coming from. I had already thought about all the same stuff.
“What if things don’t work out? Will you still have a job?”
“I’m not going to let things get weird. We are just going on one date. We can worry about the rest of it later. I’m an adult, and he’s an adult; I’m sure if things don’t work out between us we can both still work together.”
I felt myself trying to talk myself into why this would be alright. I could tell that Alyssa wasn’t fully buying into it yet. But honestly, neither was I. I felt like it was a very bad idea to move forward with this date. The problem was, my body felt an unstoppable urge to be close to Josh again. I just couldn’t turn down the opportunity to see him one last time before we started to work together.
“Well, if you are set on going out with this guy, let’s get you dressed up to make him squirm on this date.”
Alyssa disappeared into her bedroom and then motioned for me to come in. I honestly wasn’t sure how an outfit of any kind would have that sort of power over a man. But I was willing to try. The skirt she had given me for my interview certainly seemed to catch Josh’s attention. Alyssa was much more experienced with style and the latest trends, and she certainly knew how to get a man’s attention. I had to trust her opinion on this.
“Are those shirts?” I said as I saw the small pieces of fabric she had on her bed.
“No. They are dresses.”
“What? How? They look like they would fit a Barbie doll.”
“Candice, you have a body to die for. Seriously, you always cover it up with frumpy clothes, but these form-fitting dresses will look totally banging on you.”
“Is that good?” I teased as I lifted up one of the dresses.
I held the dress in front of my body, and it appeared to only cover about half of my torso; I really hoped the material was super stretchy if it was going to fully cover my curves. I couldn’t go out on a date and have to worry that my ass was going to show out the bottom of the dress. Although, having my ass hanging out of the dress would certainly get Josh’s attention.
“Just put that powdered blue one on. It will look amazing with your blonde hair and blue eyes.”
I honestly couldn’t imagine how my body would actually fit into the piece of clothing I held up. It looked like it would barely cover all my important parts. Plus I was very well endowed in the cleavage area; most outfits just didn’t cover very much there.
I slid the dress on and was actually really surprised at how well it fit. The fabric was much more resilient than I thought, and the dress covered everything just right. I certainly wasn’t comfortable wearing something that hugged all my curves like that dress did, but it was longer than I thought, and my breasts were fully covered. I looked at myself in the mirror and wasn’t totally horrified; that was a good start.
When I walked out of the bathroom, Alyssa grabbed her chest and faked a heart attack as she fell back on the bed. She had always loved drama and took every occasion to be dramatic. It was by far one of her biggest passions.
“Oh, oh, I can’t take it. You’re a sexy ass goddess. You’re going to kill him for sure.”
I couldn’t stop laughing. I certainly didn’t feel sexy.
“Let’s get you some heels,” Alyssa said as she started throwing shoes out from her closet.
“I can’t walk in heels; I’ll just wear flats.”
“Oh no, you can’t wear a sexy dress like that and wear flats,” Alyssa said without pulling her head out of the closet. “I have the perfect shoes; I just need to find them.”
I stood in the mirror and looked at my dress. It surprised me how good I looked in it. I really never thought I would look good in tight clothing. I just had too many curves, or so I thought. But the way this dress fit all those curves was impressive, and I decided right there that I didn’t need to try on anything else; the blue dress was it.
“Here,” Alyssa said as a pair of powdered blue pumps flew out of the closet at me. “These are perfect.”
They actually did look perfect. The color matched my dress perfectly, and they had a pretty flower on the toe. I thought they looked very sweet. Actually, the heels looked very much like something I would have bought for myself and nothing like what Alyssa would have bought. That was probably why I hadn’t seen her wear them.
“These are perfect, thanks, Alyssa,” I said as I admired the outfit in the mirror.
“Are you going to fuck him tonight?”
“What? Alyssa, no! Geeze.”
“Well … umm.”
“What?” I asked.
“Maybe you should just wear one of your outfits then. This one is screaming, fuck me.” Alyssa laughed.
I laughed with her at that, and I started to walk sexy like I was on a runway. I swung my hips back and forth and tried to really exaggerate my motions. The two of us laughed as I did my best impression of a runway model.
“I want to drive him crazy,” I said.
“Oh, girl this outfit is going to drive him right to the loony hospital.”
“Perfection. Now let’s do my hair and makeup.”
We moved into the bathroom to get the last few touches of my date outfit finished. I didn’t want to look like I was trying too much, so I just did a light makeup. But Alyssa insisted on doing my eyelashes and adding lip gloss.
The result was the perfect combination of sexy and sweet.
/> I was ready to knock his socks off, or at least really distract him with my outfit. If this was going to be our only date, I wanted to have a great night. Although I told Alyssa that I wasn’t going to fuck Josh that didn’t mean I would refuse making love with him.
Being a virgin wasn’t all that it used to be. I didn’t want to wait for marriage; all I wanted was my first time to be memorable. Certainly, sleeping with Josh would be very memorable; I was certain of that. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would always remember Josh.
Josh
Let’s be honest, I didn’t want to take Candice out on a date. What I wanted to do to her was much less chivalrous. It was devious and dirty and nothing that she would willingly succumb to just yet. Her innocence intrigued me, and I liked how it felt to be near her.
I needed to spend the appropriate amount of time with her first. I needed to put on the character for her. She was sweet and innocent, and I needed to show her that I wasn’t threatening in any way. I had to show her that she could relax around me. Only when she totally relaxed around me would we be able to move to the next step.
This date wasn’t going to be anything more than some casual conversation. I already had my mind made up. We would go eat, talk, and I could show her how downright gentlemanly I could be.
Then on the second date, I could start making my move. She was like a fine wine, and I needed to take my time with her. Things couldn’t be rushed.
It fucking got me hot as hell the build up to having her. I liked it. I liked how my body got hard instantly when I thought about her. My thoughts of touching her the other night were still very strong.
God, I didn’t think I could wait another second, though. Just the thought of her sweet young, innocent flower made me ache. The thoughts got my cock hard anytime I thought of Candice. I had yet to think about her and not get fully erect with the desire that she stirred in me.
As I drove up to the apartment, I finally made up my mind just how I needed to behave in order to win her over. She wanted a gentleman to win her over, and I was going to be just her man. I could pretend to be her knight in shining armor if that was what it would take to fuck her.
“Hello, is Candice home?” I said to her roommate.
I remembered the girl from the club; she looked much different in the light of day. A very pretty girl, but she seemed very wild. I easily could have chosen a girl like her from the club; there were any number of girls that were exactly the same. I didn’t want an easy girl. I wanted someone that would be worth my while, worth the energy. I wanted someone special. I wanted Candice.
“Yes, she’ll be right out. I’m Alyssa,” she jetted her hand out enthusiastically.
“Hello Alyssa,” I said as I tried not to sound annoyed.
“So you’re rich? You like own a publishing company or something?”
Instantly, I was annoyed. I didn’t want to talk to this girl. I really didn’t care at all what she had to say. But I knew with a girl like Candice that I would have to win over her friend if I was going to move any further toward getting Candice into my bed.
“Something like that.”
“Ahhh, that’s cool.”
It was torture to stand and make small talk with Alyssa, but as I turned and looked, I saw Candice coming from the room at the end.
My heart raced, and the extra blood pumped straight to my cock. She was sexy as hell.
Her body was painted into a skin-tight blue dress that showed off every single curve she had. Her voluptuous breasts, her insanely perfect hips; they were all right there for me to see. I couldn’t look away.
My eyes zoomed in on her body as it walked, and I watched her hips move side to side in a rhythmic motion. I thought of my hands on her body and how excited I was to feel them there again very soon. Everything in me wanted to grab her and drag her back into that bedroom and ravage every inch of her.
“You look beautiful,” I appropriately said as she got into the living room.
I couldn’t exactly say what I was thinking. I couldn’t tell her she looked like she wanted to be fucked and fucked really good.
I leaned in, kissed her cheek and quickly opened the door so we could make our way out of the apartment. The quicker we got going on this date, the sooner I would be able to get her out of that dress and into my bed. I still had hope that we could move past the first date and right into the second date where I got to have her naked in my bed.
Seeing her in that dress made me forget any worries I had about going on a date with Candice. Fuck it! I didn’t care if we were going to work together. We met before her interview, and I couldn’t go on without feeling her. I had to have her. I would have her, guaranteed.
Chapter 2
Candice
The way he looked at me made it hard for me to think there was anything wrong with dating him. I had never had a man look at me with that intensity. None of the guys I had every dated reacted that way when we went out.
Josh practically couldn’t close his mouth when he saw me walking out of my room. It felt great to get that kind of reaction, and I certainly could see why Alyssa dressed in that type of outfit when she went out. There was a sense of power over your man when he was that head over heels about you.
On the drive to eat dinner, I noticed Josh as he looked at my legs. I tried to pretend like I didn’t notice him, but every time he looked away from the road, it was to look at my thighs. I started to get a little worried that he was going to drive us right off the road.
My face turned red, and I tried not to look too embarrassed, but I wasn’t used to being around someone who wanted me so bad. I wasn’t used to any guy putting this kind of effort into taking me out either. Most of the guys I dated had been friends, and our dates were simply going to pizza or something. This felt like my first real grownup date.
“So where are we going tonight?” I asked.
“To my place to fuck,” he joked.
I knew that was what he really wanted, though. If I had said yes, we would have bypassed the whole date and gone straight to his house.
“Oh, should I strip off my clothes now or wait until we get there?”
I surprised him with my comeback, and it made me smile to see the shocked look on his face. He had expected me to be offended by his comment, or at least shocked, but I wasn’t. He struck me as the kind of guy who liked the shock value of things.
“Perhaps we should eat first to keep our energy up?”
He tapped his hand on my leg as he made his comment and then strategically did not remove it. I looked down as his fingers wrapped around my inner thigh, but he kept his eyes on the road and didn’t look at me or move his hand.
“Yes, great plan.”
“Are you alright with French food?” He asked.
“I’m flexible; whatever works for you.”
“How flexible?” Josh said as he raised one eyebrow.
I knew he was trying to make a sexual joke, but I didn’t let the conversation go down that road. I tried to keep on track with the food theme.
“I’ll try anything twice.” I laughed.
“My kind of girl, then let’s try something a little crazy.”
I instantly got nervous at the notion of trying anything crazy with Josh. He obviously had a much different idea of wild and crazy things than I did. I had met him at a BDSM club. But surely when it came to food, there weren’t all that many wild food joints in our town.
“Now I’m nervous,” I said.
“You should be.”
Josh smiled with that mischievous smile of his, and he drove downtown. He seemed to make plenty of turns as we made our way to the dinner locations. Finally, we turned down a long side street and then down a few very small side roads. We seemed to be somewhere near Chinatown when he finally found an alley to park in.
Josh jumped out of the car and rushed around to open my door. It was very chivalrous and unexpected.
I was worried about walking in my heels through town
; I didn’t wear heels very often, and I certainly had not been practicing walking in them anytime recently. I didn’t want to look like a child who had just decided to play dress up for the night.
Luckily, the restaurant was located only a few feet away from where we had parked. Or at least the door that we were going in was located right there. I did not see any signs that said there was a restaurant there.
“What is it?” I asked as I looked up for a sign.
“It’s a surprise.”
He gave a naughty smile, and it sent a surge of desire through my body. His smile looked like he knew some secret that I didn’t, and it was filled with a desire for me that was intoxicating.
I hesitated by the door, but Josh wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into the building with him.
His scent was the perfect combination of clean and dirty. I finally understood what all those scientists had talked about when they said people were attracted to each other's pheromones. Josh didn’t smell like he had cologne on or anything like that, but his scent smelled familiar to me. I could lay my head on his chest and smell him forever and not get sick of the scent.
“Um, I don’t know,” I said as I tried to pull away from him.
As we entered the hallway, it appeared to be the back door to a restaurant. To the right, I saw several men stirring some large pots of what looked like soup. I also saw an old woman who appeared to be making some handmade noodles.
“Candice,” Josh said as he pulled me close to him in the middle of the hallway, “look at me.”
I looked him right in the eyes. I wanted to look away because the intensity of his gaze was so much for me. I also wanted to kiss him. I had a huge desire to just let my lips move to his and make out right there in the back hallway of that restaurant.
“Trust me,” he said.
It wasn’t so much the words he said as the way he held onto me and the emphasis he put on the word trust. The funny thing was I did trust him. I didn’t know him at all, but my gut trusted him, and my gut had never steered me too wrong throughout my life.
