Hard Candy

by Volley, Rue

  He slammed into me forcefully and I cried out, not because it hurt, hell no. I ground against wanting him deeper, even though he filled me completely. He began deep long strokes and as the same time worked my clit. I felt my release building once more, more intense than the last time. Charles’s breathing became more ragged and I knew he was near his peak too. I came first but he wasn’t far behind me and his body sagged against mine. We had both needed that. Raw and animalistic and it had been perfect, certainly the best I had had to date. I smiled.

  “This is certainly going to ruin our working relationship.” I chuckled.

  “Well we’ve never really gotten on.” He winked and we both laughed. “Why don’t we heat up the Chinese and go fuck in the shower?”

  He read my mind.

  We did indeed fuck in the shower which was equally as delightful as the fumble in his office and the fucking in the hallway. We ate re heated Chinese food with Charles in his boxers and me in a pair of lacy black panties and we also finished off the champagne left by Anthony.

  Charles softened a little and I no longer saw the man who had intimated me when he first came to work with us. True he was still very much in control, he dished up the Chinese even though it was my kitchen. He asked politely where everything was. I liked it, it meant I took a back seat as he asked me things about myself. It was a refreshing change to have a conversation and not have a T.V or a video game running in the back ground. We were comfortable with each other’s company. At three am and very much worse for wear we headed through to my bedroom and simply got into bed and curled up together. We were asleep in minutes.

  The next morning I woke to find Charles playing idly with a strand of my hair. He was smiling.

  “Are we late for work?” I asked groggily.

  “Nope.” He smiled.

  “Yikes, my head.” I said wincing as the throbbing kicked in. “Yesterday happened huh?”

  He nodded.

  “Well I don’t about you but I thought it was pretty great actually.”

  “I did too, although perhaps it would be wise to keep us a secret, for now, with us working together.”

  “Us?” I quizzed.

  “Well, that is if you still want to go out tomorrow?”

  “Crap tomorrow is Saturday? Our date. Of course I do, and you are of course right. I haven’t told Mayline about our date, so no worries. I guess I am your dirty little secret?”

  “I like the sound of that. Would you be offended if I purchased you something to wear for our date?”

  I rolled out of bed lightly dusting the hairs on his chest. And went to my wardrobe to look for clothes.

  “Hmmm.” I said as I leafed through my dresses and trousers. “Well it all depends, I mean if you are talking rubber outfits to take me somewhere dark and kinky I wouldn’t be amused, if you are talking glitzy then I guess I’m good with that.”

  “Excellent.”

  We dressed, Charles opted for commando which rustled all kinds of naughty thoughts to the front of my mind. There wasn’t time for such things!

  The strangest thing was Charles and I were simply comfortable in each other’s company and it honestly felt as though we’d been acquainted intimately longer than a single night. We grabbed a taxi and, at my suggestion got it to drop us off at a Starbucks which was a street away from work. Charles went straight away grabbing a coffee and telling me to wait an hour and come in.

  “But that would make me late?” I questioned.

  “It’s fine.” He smiled, coffee in hand and left.

  I ordered a bacon roll for myself and coffee with an extra shot of caffeine. Once I’d finished that I wandered about the local market and bought a couple of used books from a stall, killing the time till I could go into work. When I did go in I was a whole forty minutes late and Mayline, who’d already texted me like five times was in a bit of a flap. She ran straight over to my desk.

  “Oh my god Jenny, where have you been.” She said full of concern.

  “I slept in and I don’t feel too great.”

  “You look tired babes. A warning, Charles is out for your blood, he came over demanding to know where you were and I didn’t know. He seems mad.”

  “Fuck him.” I said groaning. I sat at my desk and put my hands in my head letting out a groan. I was wearing a hidden smile because I had indeed, fucked him.

  Mayline left and I booted up my work that had been so nicely halted the night before. I really was a lot further on than I thought. I’d read the pieces through twice and altered the bits I felt needed altering and rewording. I had my finally third read through which I always tried to do with pieces and my moto was if you spot any mistakes read through again it didn’t always work, I mean I’m only human but I liked to get as near as possible to perfect as I could.

  After lunch I’d just about finished when Charles’s voice boomed across the office.

  “MISS HOLDEN, OFFICE NOW.”

  I nearly jumped ten feet in the air.

  I scuttled across the hall and through the door as he held it open. He slammed it shut behind him and in the next instant grabbed me and began to kiss me feverishly. I responded instantly he broke away, reaching down and playing with my nipples through my top and bra.

  “Do you think it’s acceptable to come into this office forty minutes late and not even bother to offer and explanation?” He said loud enough for the people sitting nearest his office door.

  He hand slipped up my skirt pulled my panties aside and slowly inserted two fingers inside while rubbing my clit.

  “You had me here late last night and I don’t feel in the best health this morning.” I said keeping my voice even. I reached and undid his fly, slipping my hand in and grabbed his rock hard shaft.

  “I don’t give a damn about your health, you said you were capable of getting a job done, are you capable.”

  I smiled and looked him straight.

  “I’m very capable at my job” I dropped to my knees and freed his cock from his pants.

  “That remains to be seen Miss Holden, I’m afraid I’m going to have to give you an official warning, sit down while I look out the paperwork I need.

  I took the tip of his penis in my mouth and Charles lent back onto his desk and placed his hands in my hair, smoothing it back so he could watch me. I started taking as much of him as I could into my mouth, revelling in the fact that each time I reached his base he took a sharp intake of breath and grabbed my hair a little rougher. His breathing became more ragged and I quickened so he could find his release. I took everything he gave me.

  “That was embarrassingly quick.” He muttered under his breath.

  “So am I fired?” I said loudly, getting back into our little game.

  “I won’t deny that you are good at your job Miss Holden, but you can’t just wander into work, next time phone in and report it.”

  “Yes sir.”

  He winked at, walked over to his couch zipping his pants up and picked up a large box. He walked back over and handed it to me. I looked at him puzzled until remembered I’d said he could buy me something to wear for our date. I took it, placed it on the desk and lifted the lid.

  I pushed aside the posh designer tissue and found a beautiful dress. It was black and made of silk, full length and had diamante straps. As I picked it up I saw that it was backless. I was lost for words. Charles saw my look of admiration and smiled.

  “How about I hand deliver it to you tonight?” he said quietly.

  I nodded and he reached down, capturing my lips again.

  He broke away put the lid back on the box and raised an eyebrow at me.

  “Get back to damn work, what the hell am I paying you for!”

  “Yes sir.” I said in a scared voice while grinning.

  I scuttled out of the room feeling his smile on me as I left and hurried back to my desk. Mayline came over.

  “Holey crap Jenny did he try to fire you?”

  “No just grilling me for being late.”
/>   “Did you manage to get your work finished? Do you need a hand?”

  “I’m good but here,” I pulled the disk out of my machine, “Will you take it in when you take in yours?”

  “Sure.” She said sincerely and I felt a slight pang of guilt. She would so not understand what Charles and I had been doing. We’d hated him for years and now I was fucking him and giving him blowjobs in his office, even I thought I was pretty damn crazy.”

  She took my disk and left. I decided to push my luck a little and I went for an unpaid break in the kitchen. I was absolutely shattered, hung-over and I felt like crap. I then remembered Charles was heading over to my flat this evening so caffeine was needed and a nap for sure as soon as I got in from work.

  I did just that. I left the office, drove home and literally climbed into bed, setting my alarm to wake me in two hours. I took a short course in death and woke when my alarm chimed beside me. I switched off and for a second my body clock was telling me to get up and get ready for work, then, with a smile I realised I had slept because I didn’t want to look like crap when Charles arrived with my lovely dress. I took a shower and made a big bowl of salad. The doorbell chimed and I practically squealed with excitement.

  I released the main door lock took a few breaths to calm down before he arrived. I returned to the kitchen thinking it was perfect timing for us to eat together. A soft knock at the front door announced Charles arrival and I skipped through to the hall throwing open the door. Only it wasn’t Charles.

  “Alan! What the hell do you want?” He stood there, holdall in hand.

  “I left her, please can I just stay here, one two nights at most.”

  “No fucking way Alan.”

  “Oh come on Jenny, please you weren’t always this cold.”

  “Are you on some sort of metal fucking trip. You have been shagging another woman for years… YEARS and you think you can roll up here and kip in the spare room like it’s a damn hotel! Get the hell out of here.”

  “But you let me up… I thought.”

  “I fucking thought you were someone else you knob cheese, some else who is on their way now so fuck off.”

  And with that I slammed the door in his face and then watched through the peep hole. Was I harsh? Yes. Was it justified… hell yes! Cheating rat. They say the grass is greener on the other side but it isn’t when the other side is the roughest council estate in the city.

  Alan stood in the hallway for a full minute then picked his phone out of his pocket and began texting. No doubt her, telling her he’d changed his mind. She could have him, more fool her. When he finally realised I was most definitely not opening the door he sauntered off down the hall. For some reason I cried a little then. I was so angry at the little fuck it had tipped the balance completely. I walked back through to the kitchen and began to toss the salad as the tears ran down my cheeks. Why did he have to fucking come back. He left for fuck sake, left he didn’t get to just walk back in when it suited him. The front door buzzed again. This time I picked up the handset.

  “Yup?”

  “It’s Charles.”

  “Oh, come up.”

  I released the main door again thinking at first Alan might have buzzed back up to try and get to talk to me. Now I was crying! Great just great!

  I wiped my eyes and when Charles knocked I checked the peep hole before I opened it. I saw him stood in the hallway carrying the box with my lovely dress in.

  “Hey” I said mustering up some enthusiasm.

  “You OK?” He asked, stepping inside, showing genuine concern.

  “Yeah, absolutely.”

  “So nothing to do with the shifty fucker I passed in the hallway who gave me evil looks when I passed him, heading this way.”

  “He’s still out there, crap. Sorry, that’s my ex.”

  “He bothering you?”

  “Not really, I thought it was you buzzing and I stupidly didn’t pick up the intercom, he rolled up with a bag expecting to sleep in the spare room.”

  “Really?” Charles said with a hint of a smile.

  “I know, he’s such an ass hat.”

  “Ass hat?” Charles laughed.

  “Yes! I was making cold meat salad, you want some?”

  “Love some, and coffee, lots of coffee if you have some.”

  “Ground or instant?”

  “Need you ask?”

  I smiled and led the way to the kitchen. Charles put the box on the side and perched himself on a breakfast stool at the counter while I finished the salad. I made us both coffee from the machine and dished up the salad with cheese, cut gammon and balsamic dressing. We sat at the counter, ate salad and drank strong coffee, chatting about nothing.

  “I have to confess you confuse me Charles, I mean you are a nice guy, what’s with the hard persona for the last few years.”

  He smiled. “That is me Jenny, but the last few weeks I sort of noticed you, almost for the first time. You sort of stood out and I was intrigued. When you back chatted me that day I was torn between anger and pure lust. Not many people stand up to me.”

  “You are pretty scarey you know.”

  “So what changed?”

  “I guess when Alan left he took my tolerance with him. I just don’t want to take any shit from anyone.”

  “I like it.” He said honestly.

  “I’m glad because I like the new me but I also like that you know when to take control, buy dresses, ordering dinner, things you probably don’t think are out of the ordinary but to me I’ve always had to carry Alan, make all the decisions, right down to what fucking loaf of bread we bought.”

  “Some men know how to treat a lady.” He winked.

  “Thanks for being so cool about him being here, I hate that it might have marred our evening.”

  “No marring here, and that dinner was just right after all that Chinese food, whiskey and champagne. I have to say though your performance in the office was fantastic. When your friend Mayline handed in your work, she looked like she was going to say something in your defence.”

  “Poor Mayline! I usually tell her everything.”

  We moved casually to the living room where the TV and more importantly the Xbox weren’t given a second glance. We mused like friends and yet the setting was so intimate. As we spoke Charles, at some point had taken one of my bear feet and begun to massage it, which was fine by me. As we spoke he worked between the two, I felt so relaxed.

  At just after ten o clock, Charles looked at his watch.

  “As much as I love your company Jenny, I’m gonna have to head home. Got a big date with a hot chick tomorrow night and I want to be well rested.” He leaned over and gave me a long, lingering kiss.

  “I hope she is worth it.” I said with a wink.

  “I think she just might be.”

  He asked for my mobile number saying he would pick me up a six the next night. I saw him to the door and as I closed it behind him I leant against it and bit my lip for a second. I liked him, I really liked him but was it all too fast?

  The next day I tried the dress on and it fit like a dream, hugging me in all the right places and billowing down to my ankles. I hung it up carefully in my wardrobe and decided to spend the whole day pampering myself. I soaked in the bath, buffing my skin. Then I applied a light layer of fake tan and painted my toe nails and fingernails. I ate a light lunch and drank coffee. I had a nap to pass the time. Mayline phoned just after two.

  “Hey girl, how you doing after yesterday.”

  “I’m good, having a chilled day.”

  “Cool, ok don’t be mad…”

  “Oh no, what’s happened.”

  “I… erm, I have Alan here.”

  “Oh my god May May, what the heck are you thinking?”

  “I know, but listen, we had a long chat and I really think you guys should sit down and talk things through.”

  “What!”

  “He knows what he’s done and he really is sorry. He texted me last night really up
set because you had some guy round at your apartment, who was that by the way?”

  “It doesn’t bloody matter, its none of his damn business. Listen May, I love you to bits girl but listen carefully OK, it’s over, there isn’t a chance, not a smidgen, not I micro chance that I will ever, ever feel anything but hate for that man Mayline. So you can tell him if he doesn’t stop trying to fucking contact me I am going to phone the damn police. Is that clear enough for him?”

  “I’ll pass that on, I just thought I would try, he seemed really sorry.”

  “Sorry my ass, sorry the excitement had gone. Tough shit.”

  “He’s right Jenny you are changing.”

  “Well it’s only for the better, I assure you. I’ll see you at work Monday.”

  “Ok chick.” She said softly.

  Of all the damn nerve. Well it wasn’t going to put a dampener on my special night that’s for sure.

  Time… passed… slow!

  I got properly ready at five, curling my long hair and the sweeping it to one side and pinning it at the back. I chose some very sexy black lacy panties and finally slipped into my beautiful dress. I could tell Charles had spent a lot of money on it, it just fitted so well. The back was so low it wasn’t that far off the top of my knickers.

  I received a text from Mayline just after six.

  Really sorry chick, didn’t mean to pry hope you aren’t too mad, luv may

  Its fine I replied I just want to move on x

  Message understood loud and clear, you gonna tell me who mystery man was?

  Jesus, she wasn’t wasting any time.

  No one LOL just one of the neighbours actually who forgot his key!

  Dammit! I thought you had decent gossip for me. Do u want company?

  Crap.

  No I replied knackered,, feels like a long shitty week, gonna watch some Sci-fi movies in bed.

  Okies chick, text if u change your mind xXx

  Thank god, she finally got the message. But really what the hell did Alan think he was going to achieve by appearing to be a winging toad. I’d wouldn’t have put it passed him to get his mum to phone me. No his mother was equally as annoyed as I was with him. She came from a very well to do family and I bet she just died when Alan gave her his new address. That particular thought really cheered me up. Christmas dinner was going to be fun in their household this year.
