Chapter 7 – Our First Business Meeting
Jack
Our first business meeting was something that neither of us would ever forget. Our food arrived about the same time Tim and the Bellhop delivered Kate’s twenty-four bags and boxes.
“What’s going on?” Kate asked, as she came from the adjoining room.
“I’ve decided we’re staying.”
“Really? How long?”
“For the rest of the month, or until our new business is all set up, whichever comes first.”
A smile came across Kate’s face, so I knew she didn’t want to go back to her old life any more than I did. We could’ve stayed at my house, but the kids (as well as my mother) always dropped by without any warning. Even though they were all adults, I wasn’t comfortable with it. Besides, there were still pictures and reminders of Eva everywhere I turned. I knew Kate wouldn’t be very comfortable in that environment.
I filled the Jacuzzi tub while Kate put all her new clothes and shoes in the closet. We then enjoyed the cheeseburger and fries she had ordered from room service. Cheeseburgers are definitely one of life’s simple pleasures, along with sex in hot tubs!
~~~
“Are you ready to talk business?” she asked.
“I’m ready if you are, baby. I went over your financial projections this afternoon, and they look pretty conservative,” I admitted, as I sat down on the edge of the tub.
“I know. Dr. Schaffer called me earlier to ask if it was alright.”
“Really? That sneaky bastard!”
“So, my numbers worked?” she asked as she reached down and began running her hand along the inside of my thighs.
“Your numbers looked great. By combining your ideas with my distribution platform, you will quickly make a name for yourself in the fashion world.”
“Speaking of that, how did an obviously straight man become king of the fashion merchandising world?”
As Kate began to tease my shaft with the tip of her tongue, I told her the story of how I got my start in this business. My father, who was scheduled to retire soon, ran one of the largest ad agencies in New York. While working a summer job for him between my junior and senior year of high school, I happened to meet one of his best clients. The guy had a chain of men’s clothing stores which started out in the North East but expanded all across the country thanks, in part, to my dad’s advertising skills. They would target a particular zip code using direct mail catalogs, and if the area did well he would set up a store. It was a simple, yet brilliant strategy. One afternoon, he stopped by on the way to visit his accountant and was showing dad how sales and profits were exploding. After he left, my father told me what he had seen and advised me to find out everything I could about the menswear business.
The following summer I took a job with my dad’s client working in his mail room. It wasn’t a glamorous start, but it allowed me to learn the business from the ground up. By working for him while simultaneously earning a degree in fashion merchandising, I was able to see how everything I was studying applied directly to the business. By the time I graduated from college, Eva and I already had a small mail-order business running out of my parent’s basement.
By now, Kate was seriously into giving me a fantastic blow job. Even though her eyes were fixed on me, I could no longer coherently piece together the story. Staring into her big, beautiful eyes while watching my cock repeatedly disappear into her mouth had thrown me completely off track. She pulled back and began stroking me firmly with her hand, so I knew I had one more quick decision to make. After all the sex we’d had in the past 24 hours, I was down to my last couple of bullets. Did I really want to waste them right there, or should I scoop her up and take her to bed? It wasn’t a tough decision.
~~~
As I carried her hot, dripping body over to the bed, I reached down to throw the pillows and blankets on the floor.
“Are you going to let me down?” she asked, with a giggle.
“No,” I replied, spinning her around and lifting her up so her legs were draped over my shoulders and her beautiful mound was at mouth level.
Judging by the squeal of delight, I could tell this was something she hadn’t experienced before. I clamped onto her wet bottom and worked her clit with everything my lips and tongue could muster. She grabbed my hair and began thrashing around like she was on a bucking bronco. This only encouraged me to give her even more. Suddenly, her body tensed up. She arched her back, and we both went tumbling onto the bed. As soon as we landed, I grabbed one leg with each hand, pinning them both to the bed and continued my oral assault on her sweet little box.
Every moan, gasp, and muscle contraction that came from her fueled my desire to give her more. I wanted to see just how far I could take her. My lips and tongue were devouring her the way a starving dog would attack a steak. Where was all this intensity coming from? I hadn’t experienced such intense feelings in twenty-five years. As she exploded into orgasm, I could feel her juices gushing into my mouth. I continued to hungrily lap them up as if they were the nectar of the gods.
“Stop! God, please stop!” she exclaimed, pulling my hair and squirming away from me in a desperate attempt to escape my grip.
“What’s wrong?”
“Wrong? Nothing’s wrong! I just can’t take any more. My god, I was about to crawl out of my skin.”
“Mmmm, that’s good,” I replied, as I slid up alongside her.
“We still have to take care of you, though,” she said, as she once again began stroking my rock hard cock.
“Well, it’s not going to be with your hand, sweetie. I want you up against the wall.”
“Up against the wall, huh? That sounds fun.”
“Yeah, it’s at the top of my list.”
I had her kneel, facing the wall with her hands spread over her head as if she were “busted”. I moved in behind her, gained the proper angle of attack and slipped inside. As I began to move inside her, she squeezed her legs together, making her already snug pussy even tighter. She took control, moving her hips slowly up and down as I reached around and cupped her breasts, pinching her erect nipples between my fingers. Kate began moaning softly as she picked up the pace. I leaned back and simply watched her beautiful bottom moving up and down my cock.
This is fucking heaven!
As her hot, tight pussy continued to work the full length of my dick, it became more and more intense with each stroke. I was so hard and sensitive that I actually had to lean forward a bit to decrease the intensity. I was enjoying this too much to let it end so quickly; besides, Kate was just starting to really enjoy herself. When I grabbed her hips, it really turned her on. She moaned louder and began pounding me with her pussy. I knew it wasn’t going to last much longer, so I increased my grip on her hips, arched my back, and began thrusting into her with all I had.
I could tell right away that the tip of my head was right on target as she began to tremble. With each additional thrust, she was losing a little more control over her body. I grabbed her by the arms and pulled them back to help stabilize her. As I continued to pound into her, she exploded into the most incredible climax yet, causing me to immediately lose control as well. As we both panted, trying to recover, I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight while remaining buried deep inside her. Regardless of where we went from there, I knew it couldn’t get much sweeter than that moment!
“Wow! That was incredible,” Kate finally said, breaking the silence.
“Yes, it was, but I guess talking business while having sex doesn’t really work that well.”
“I don’t know. I think it worked out just fine,” she replied, giving me a long sensuous kiss.
Pulling the covers back on the bed, we transitioned into the old spooning position. Both of us were completely spent, totally relaxed, and utterly satisfied. What a first weekend together! Unfortunately, Monday was only hours away, so it was time to get some sleep.

Chapter 8 – Mond
ay Starts With A Bang!
Jack
I awoke with Kate still in my arms. It blew my mind to think that we had only met thirty-six hours before. Eva was the only other person that I had felt this comfortable with, and I had known her for over a year before things turned intimate. I also couldn’t believe Kate’s mother had confronted her at Saks. Since she was a buyer for Nordstrom, I knew exactly who her mother was. In fact, I knew her quite well back when she went by her maiden name. I slipped out of bed to grab my laptop.
“What are you doing up so early?” Kate asked, as I confirmed my suspicions.
“I was just looking up your mom in my merchandising database. It’s Cynthia Westby correct?”
“You woke up thinking about my mom? That’s pretty creepy.”
“You’re hilarious, Kate. Hmmm, she’s ordered almost $740,000 worth of merchandise through us this year.”
“That sounds like a lot.”
“Yeah, it’s great for a single buyer. At our wholesale commission rate, we’ve made about $44,400 off her purchases. $22,200 of that is my cut. So really, most of those clothes I bought you yesterday came indirectly from your mother. Maybe that’ll make her feel better.”
“Yeah right, you obviously don’t know her. She’ll probably take her future business elsewhere because of this.”
“Only if she likes paying more for everything,” I replied, with a knowing smirk. “That’s why my baby is selling for $4 billion. Right now, it’s the best game in town. Besides, your mother has been with us since we started the wholesale program. She’s not going anywhere.”
“You’ll have to finish telling me that story, but first I really need a shower and latte,” Kate said, as she sprung out of bed. She’s such a little fox.
“I’ll order us a couple of lattes, and then I’ll be in to help you with the parts you can’t reach.”
“What, you don’t think I can reach my own junk?” she replied, giving me her best smart ass look.
~~~
As I slipped into the shower behind her, I immediately knew there would be more involved than simply helping her get clean. After successfully suppressing my sexual urges for years, I had suddenly taken on the role of a hormonal teenager. Even though my equipment wasn’t quite as reliable as it was back then, it definitely rose to the occasion once again.
“Well, Kate, I guess I haven’t gotten enough of you yet.”
She didn’t say a thing, backing up so now my hardness was resting against the center of her back. With a handful of shower gel, I made sure her breasts were clean, along with her stomach, pussy, and that beautiful rear end. Then I lifted her onto the bench and suggested she grab the towel bar.
“You’ll get a great thigh workout in this position,” I teased as I slid inside her.
She had such killer legs. Seeing the muscles flex beneath her wet skin was incredibly sexy. I placed my hands under her buns to give her a little assistance. I leaned forward and began kissing her back and working my way around to the side of her neck. As I grabbed onto her hips, she picked up the pace and once again we were slamming each other like sex-crazed kids. I wasn’t sure how long I would be able to keep this up. I thought it might be a welcome break to get away from her for a few hours. My balls simply ached as I approached climax. It felt like my entire reproductive system was in shock.
As we toweled off, I had to laugh, “This is the first time in well over twenty-five years that my dick is actually sore from having so much sex!”
“I’m sore too, Jack. I think I’m going to walk funny. We might have to dial it down a notch.”
“I’ll try, Kate, but you’re just so irresistible. You drive me fucking crazy!”
“Thank you, Jack,” she said, kissing me once again. “I’m glad I do that for you.”
“Ok! I have to leave now. I’m absolutely positive I can’t do it again without causing irreversible damage.”
Kate simply laughed and turned to pull on her robe. We were both a little embarrassed when we exited the bathroom to find that Gerard had left two fresh lattes sitting on the counter.
“I guess I should’ve known to wait and order after the shower,” I said in disgust.
Oh well, I’m sure it wasn’t the first or last time he’s walked in on a sexual encounter. I could only imagine what people see (and hear) working there. When I turned around, Kate had her leg up on a stool applying her body lotion. Why did she always have to look so damn sexy? I excused myself to get dressed before doing anything stupid.
~~~
“So what’s the plan?” Kate asked, as she looked through her new wardrobe.
“First, I’m taking you down to Madison Avenue to meet with Andrew Ruthers. I want the three of us to discuss a marketing pitch that I’ve been thinking about for your line.”
“What’s the pitch?”
“Well, we should have enough profit margin to allow us to manufacture here in the States. So I was thinking of a tag line that goes like: ‘The Kate Collection: American Made for the American Working Woman’ or something along those lines. Andrew is a pro at taking rough ideas and perfecting them.”
“I like it already! You have no idea how excited I am about this.”
“That’s good because you have a lot of work to get done this week. I have meetings at the office starting at 1:30 this afternoon, so after we leave Andrew’s office, I’m going to drop you off at a fashion design studio owned by a friend of mine. You need to have a minimum of eight designs put together by Friday.”
“Not a problem. I already have a good start on several of them. But yeah, I suppose I need to get them done before school starts again next Monday.”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you. You don’t need to go back.”
“What do you mean I don’t need to go back?”
“They’ve been hounding me this past year to donate $5 million to go toward that new theater they’ve been planning to build. I told Ben yesterday that I would be willing to cut them a check for the full five when my deal closes, but I needed a favor.”
“What was the favor?”
“Well, the final semester of school is all about completing your prototypes and putting together the marketing plan for your fashion line, correct?”
“Yes, it’s my final project.”
“Well, I told Ben that I wanted to pull you from school and let you develop everything for real. That way, we wouldn’t have to delay four months, which would cause us to miss the crucial fall season.”
“Really, what did he say?”
“If there weren’t $5 million on the line, and if you and I weren’t two of the best students he ever worked with, he probably wouldn’t have gone for it. However, under the circumstances, all you have to do is go in and present your line along with the business plan when it’s complete. Then you can go through the graduation ceremony, and you will receive your diploma with the rest of your class.”
“Oh my god, I’m done with college?”
“You are. But now you’re going to have several grueling weeks ahead of you. I want to fly out to LA next week to meet with a couple of potential manufacturers. That’s why it’s crucial that you get some design prototypes finished this week. Then you’ll have Monday and Tuesday to make any alterations. I’m going to tentatively plan on leaving about 9:00 am Wednesday morning.”
I could tell by the look on Kate’s face that things were moving a little too fast. But if she wanted to make it in this fast paced, ever-changing industry, she needed to pass this first test with flying colors. For the first time since I had met her, she was speechless.
“If you don’t think you are up to it, we can just enjoy this week and you can go back to school on Monday,” I offered, putting my arms around her.
“No. This is the opportunity I’ve dreamed of, and I’m going to have those designs done by Friday.”
Alright, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear!
~~~~~~
Kate
If I had actually stopped for a min
ute to think about how fast everything was happening, I probably would’ve started hyperventilating. Ever since 6 P.M. Saturday night, everything had felt like a whirlwind. Don’t get me wrong, it was all good, but extremely overwhelming. I was suddenly done with college, meeting with an ad agency director on Madison Ave, and then spending the week at a top design studio in the heart of the fashion district. Holy shit!
As the car came to a stop at the ad agency, I saw the agency name on the side of the building. The first name was Ryker (as in Ryker, Taylor, Ruthers & Assoc.), but I didn’t say anything. Jack probably didn’t want to introduce me to his father right then. Maybe that’s why he didn’t mention it was his dad’s agency. It was kind of funny that he didn’t say anything about it, though. It would’ve been pretty hard not to notice the name on the side of the building, on the plate glass doors, on the wall in the lobby, and on every piece of stationery in the place.
Once we were in Andrew’s office, it felt more like I was on trial instead of in a meeting. Right away, Jack told me to give Andrew my thirty second elevator pitch. Luckily, I had told enough people about my idea that I had no problem with that one. Then the questions started, and I didn’t think they would ever end. It seemed as if he was trying every angle to punch holes in my idea, and it was starting to piss me off! I had been dreaming about this for the past four years. Who was he to doubt me? Worst of all, Jack seemed to be taking his side on a lot of these issues. Maybe I was just beginning to see the real Jack.
“I love it guys, absolutely love it!” Andrew said suddenly, as he stood up and started pacing the floor of his small office. “This thing is really going to have legs. Kate, I love your story, I love that your Mom inspired you to do this, and I love the whole Made in America approach. This is perfect!”
