"So, you're saying I need to hire more people like you and less like Jennifer with the all natural DD breasts that bounce so much when she walks they almost take her eye out?" He grinned. "But I'd miss her breasts so much!"
"You're a pervert." Sadie said groaning at the mental image.
Cedric walked over to her and crowded her when she took a step away from him.
"You know what's funny, Sadie? You didn't run screaming in the other direction when you were exposed to my perversions. I think you have an inner naughty girl that needs to be brought out." Cedric whispered to her, and poured another triple shot drink in the glass she was holding.
Sadie was caught off guard, she hadn't even realized he'd been holding the alcohol bottle.
Panicking, she drank the shots before she realized how much alcohol he'd been giving her. Setting it down because her head started to spin a few minutes later, she looked at him and shook her head.
"Even if I was a naughty type of girl, I wouldn't be interested in sharing a man with a million other women. I don't understand their comfort in sharing you with each other." She said, slurring slightly.
"Because they get something out of it besides sex or a relationship with me. Job security for one, an easy going office work environment for another. I'm sure the parties and limos don't hurt either." Cedric said grinning.
He took the glass from Sadie's fingers and set the liquor bottle and her glass on the table and crowded her back.
Leaning over her, he put his face so his lips were almost touching her own.
Sadie gasped, feeling his hot breath, a mere inch from her mouth, if she pushed herself forward, she could kiss him. Her world was spinning around her and she reached out to grab his arm to balance herself.
"Steady there, whoa girl!" Cedric said, wrapping his arm around her waist to keep her from tipping over. "You're a light weight."
"I don't drink often." Sadie muttered and rested her head against his chest for a moment to catch her breath.
"Sitting in the hot tub will help, come on." Cedric took her outside and in front of her just stripped down to his birthday suit and stepped into the hot tub.
"I don't have a bathing suit." Sadie said, feeling odd when she stared at Cedric's nudity.
"Don't be shy, get in." He told her and patted the seat next to him. "Come on, we'll sit here for a while and you'll feel better."
Sadie thought about it for a minute and then decided to be brave. She kicked off her shoes and took her clothes off, sinking into the water and sighing in ecstasy as the water rolled around her.
Cedric slid over next to her and started to massage her shoulders.
"Ohhhh, that feels so good." Sadie said as his thumbs pressed into sore muscles under her shoulder blades.
"Sadie, tell me more about what you think we should do with the office." Cedric whispered in her ear, his lips brushed her lobe as he whispered to her over the jets of the hot tub.
Sadie tipped her head back as he found a particularly nasty knot in her left shoulder and moaned loudly before answering him.
"I think if you absolutely have to keep the girls around, that you reduce the number to two or three women you like the most and cut the rest out. You need a capable staff, and to be politically correct, you need to hire other races and genders and ages." Sadie told him. "If you want your business to be taken more serious on a billion dollar level instead of just a multi-million dollar company, you have to be willing to adapt." Sadie explained as his fingers and thumbs worked magic on her stiff muscles.
She didn't even know her back had been hurting until he'd worked out multiple knots in her shoulder and neck area.
"Brains, curves and work ethics." Cedric muttered gently behind her and then one hand trailed down her back and up again with his finger tips, causing Sadie to shudder against his hands.
"Cedric..." She started to say and turned to look at him.
She was still intoxicated, and probably not thinking the most rationally or as clearly as normal, but if she was going to work with him she needed to set some boundaries. The problem was, as soon as she turned and her eyes met his, she forgot what she was going to say.
Cedric's beautiful eyes with his dark lashes stared down at her, the hint of a smile on his lips before he leaned his head down to kiss her. Caught off guard, she kissed him back before she could stop herself.
The momentary fleeting thought of regretting this in the morning crossed her mind, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and let him pull her into his lap. She could feel his large erection against her butt cheeks, and his taut stomach fit her body and curves. Where she was all soft and feminine, he was hard as a rock.
He massaged one of her breasts, using his fingers to kneed the flesh and pull on her nipples. Using his tongue to tease her lips when she opened her mouth he took advantage and stroked her tongue with his own.
Moaning into Cedric's mouth, Sadie pressed herself against his hands and chest. She turned so she could put her legs around his waist. Feeling the water jets rush all around their bodies, she let her head fall back as she gripped his shoulders as he kissed her neck and worked his way down to suck one of her pink nipples into his mouth.
"Oh god Sadie," Cedric said as he kissed his way over to her other breast. He put one hand on her lower back and grinded up against her using his hand to move her back and forth in the water.
Sadie could feel his hard cock rubbing against her pussy lips and thighs. The water let their bodies slide smoothly against each other and it was the most erotic experience Sadie had ever had. She hadn't messed with boys much growing up or in college, she knew she was playing with fire and might get burned, but right now all she wanted to do was have Cedric fuck her into a mindless frenzy of sexual delight.
Pulling her back by the hips slightly, he lifted her just enough so his cock was at the entrance of her opening. He didn't say a word, just leaned forward again and kissed her, letting his cock tease her body.
Sadie moved her hips so she took the tip of him inside her. She kissed him back passionately, her arms coming around his neck to pull herself forward as she let her body ram him all the way inside her as she pushed herself down on top of him.
Riding him up and down as their tongues mingled and the jets hit their flesh left Sadie feeling overwhelmed. She moaned against his mouth and let her body run almost on autopilot as she bounced up and down on his cock.
Cedric put his hands under her butt to help her go up and down, her breasts rubbing hard against his chest. After a few minutes he broke the kiss and bent his head down to suck on her nipples while she rode him.
Feeling her groin rub against his, she could feel the tension in her stomach get tighter, bringing her closer to an orgasm. As his teeth scraped against her sensitive nipples, he left little love bites across her chest as he played with both breasts back and forth; she felt the familiar squeezing that signaled she was about to come.
Cedric groaned and then grabbed her hips hard with his fingers digging into them, using his hands to guide her to ride him faster he slammed up into her until he started to shudder from his orgasm.
Feeling his cock jerk inside of her as he moaned, Sadie came, her muscles clenching around him tightly, milking his cock as she rode out the wave of her orgasm with her eyes shut tightly and her head thrown back.
When they slowed down and sat there, still entwined, they were catching their breath and Sadie finally opened her eyes and looked at him.
"This has to be a onetime thing." She told him.
Cedric looked surprised. "Why?"
"Because you're technically my step brother, and I don't want to compete constantly for your affections at work with all those other girls. I don't like to share." Sadie told him honestly. "And being involved with you over time means I'll develop feelings for you and I couldn't handle feeling jealous and not being the one and only in someone's life. This was probably a mistake."
Cedric felt this was the worst time to have this conve
rsation as his dick was still inside of her. Thinking quickly, he nodded at her.
"We can talk about this later, if I only get one night with you, I'm not done yet. Let's go inside and take this back up in my bed." He said, grinning at her. Lifting her up, he carried her inside, with both of them wet and dripping water on the floor.
Sadie would have said something, but since he didn't seem to care he was dripping water everywhere she kept her mouth shut.
He took her into his bedroom and set her on the California king sized bed with white silk sheets and laid her down. He dropped down between her legs on the bed and attacked her pussy with his tongue and lips.
Sadie groaned and felt her hips thrust up against his face before she could even register she was going to do it. His expert tongue made quick work of her sensitive clit. He stuck two fingers inside of her and started to stroke them in and out of her as he licked, nibbled and sucked on her clit and pussy lips.
Bringing her to a quick but intense orgasm, when she was done shuddering on the bed he moved up to kiss her and then slowly spent the rest of the night making love to her and showing her exactly how skilled he was in bed.
Chapter 6
Sadie woke up in the morning and snuck downstairs while Cedric was still snoring. She got her clothes off the back porch by the hot tub where she'd left them and got dressed. Sneaking out of his house quietly she left to go home and clean up so she could go to work.
She intended to pretend nothing happened last night. She had her one night of a hot fantasy with a man she didn't think she'd ever truly be able to have. If her father found out she got intimately involved with Cedric, he'd probably kill her. Her father hated Cedric and she hadn't even told him she'd taken this job to help with his medical bills.
Feeling like an idiot for giving in to her attraction to him, she started to cry on her way home. She liked him, he made her laugh and smile, and his playboy flirty ways were so obnoxious they were almost comical. She knew she couldn't ask him to be a different man, but she couldn't settle for less than the love she'd seen between her father and step mother before she died.
She wanted that kind of love and devotion in a partner, and she knew Cedric didn't seem to have the ability to do it. If she got involved beyond a single night, he'd break her heart and probably not look back.
When she got into the shower and cleaned herself up, she realized how good it had been with him. She knew she'd hold him as her standard for all future sex partners and wondered if she'd find someone as good as he was. She knew she was probably feeling mourning over something she couldn’t have and that's why she was feeling so down about everything right now, but she had to be realistic.
Getting ready for work she drove to the office and walked in. She held her head high and ignored the women who stopped to stare at her like she was a freak. She didn't care what they thought, she was here to do a job, and that was what she was going to do.
When she got to Cedric's office he was already sitting in there.
His eyes were dark and she swore she saw a flash of hurt in them when he looked at her before his face became blank and he put on his normal playboy looking grin.
"I missed you this morning." Cedric told her looking a little like he was pouting.
Sadie shook her head, "I told you, it was a onetime thing. Let's focus on our job here."
Cedric made a face that showed his displeasure clearly, but didn't say anything more about the night they'd spent together.
"Fine, I want you to make a list of everyone in our office upstairs who is actually qualified to keep their job, or is worth keeping around because of how long they've been here. I will go over it and fire everyone else and you can start interviewing replacements for them." Cedric informed her shocking her to the core.
"Okay..." She said blinking at him. This wasn't expected. She wondered why the sudden change of heart.
Seeing the expression on her face prompted Cedric to explain himself. "I realized that I can make a lot more money with competent staff. You made a compelling argument. I can get staff that can actually do their job, and the couple of women I will keep around I can use to wine and dine my male clients, a secret weapon of sorts. I have a couple in mind who I think will be ideal for a different position within the company if we keep them off the phones." He explained.
Sadie wanted to ask him if he planned to keep being involved with them personally, but refrained. It wasn't supposed to be any of her business.
"Are you going to pick the ones you want to let go and fire them?" Sadie asked him so she understand exactly what he wanted her to do.
"Nope. I will go through your assessment and add my notes, but you get to do the firing once I decide who to let go and who to keep. Each person we fire should get at least three months wages so they have time to find a new job. I pride myself on taking care of my girls, and I can't just fire them without making sure they have time to get something else." Cedric explained.
Sadie nodded. "Okay, I will get started on that right away. Is there anything else I you need me to do?"
"Yes, I also want you to find me a realtor. I want to sell my house, and if we do hire new people, we may also need to sell this building and relocate to a larger location. I've been in the process of buying out another IT company, and if I merge the businesses, we'll need more office space." Cedric explained. "This has been in the works for a while, it was why I was trying to hire a competent assistant. I needed to make changes around here and decide if I wanted to push my business forward, or just stay in the comfortable bubble we've had for the last few years."
Sadie beamed at the subtle complement he'd given her, and smiled at him. "I'll do my best to please you."
Cedric grinned at her and winked. "I know you will."
"Cedric!" Sadie said, blushing. "Behave yourself, I told you--"
Cedric interrupted her, "I know you did, but I'm not going to change everything, which means you get stuck with my flirting."
Sadie stared at him and held the tablet she had tighter to her chest and didn't say anything.
"All employee records are in the basement in the back room behind the IT computers. You can start there to put your information together, and after we rehire staff, you'll be in charge of getting everything into a computer based system. I want to go paperless after this." Cedric told her, then paused before adding, "And, you have my permission to delegate that task if you find someone you trust to do a good job with it."
Sadie nodded, feeling relieved.
She turned to leave to go to the basement, but Cedric stood and walked over, shutting the door with one hand blocking her way.
"One last thing Sadie, what we had last night, I'm not willing to let it go just yet. I know you want a one night stand, but I won't give up on you. What I feel for you isn't one night stand material. I won't take no for an answer and I will get what I want. You've been warned." Cedric told her, he dipped his head until he almost brushed his lips against hers and then stepped back, leaving Sadie feeling disappointed he didn't kiss her.
Breathing hard, her heart pounding in her chest Sadie quickly walked away refusing to look back at his office, her stomach in knots.
Despite her misgivings about everything, the shiver that went up her spine when he promised her he wasn't done chasing after her left her secretly thrilled. She knew it wasn't something she should allow to happen, but her feelings for him left her making stupid, risky, irrational decisions.
Chapter 7
A few weeks later, Sadie had gotten the list approved and was slowly starting to bring each woman back into her own personal office that Cedric had finally assigned to her. She had already fired five of the eleven girls she was going to let go. Keeping three for PR type jobs, the rest had to go.
"You stupid bitch, you have no right to fire me." Valerie glared at her, looking like she wanted to reach out and slap Sadie in the face.
"I'm sorry, but this is your official letter of dismissal, with Cedric's signature. You w
ill get three months pay, and a continuation of medical coverage for up to six months to give you time to get a new job and benefits." Sadie told her, ignoring the name calling. So far, almost all of them had insulted her, raged, cried, or called her names. They didn't take kindly to being fired after their cushy job disappeared from underneath their feet.
"I hope you get sick and die." The girl said, snatching the letter from her hand and left the office in a rush. The rest of the women knew what was coming, and they had no idea who would stay and who would get fired. They'd already told one of the three women they were keeping their job was changing, but they still had one. They were trying to keep it on the down low, but the women talked and there wasn't much Sadie could do about it.
Sadie got up and intended to call the next girl in when she felt sick to her stomach, she opened her mouth and realized she was going to hurl. She rushed to the bathroom and reached the toilet just in time to puke.
After a few minutes of dry heaving, she felt better and got up and splashed her face with some water and took some deep breaths.
She went back out and called in the next person. It took all day but she'd managed to get through all of the women they were firing, and then explained to the other two why they were getting to keep their job.
Sadie went to tell Cedric the job was finished, and that she'd start going through resumes and setting up job interviews.
She walked into his office and smelled his take out that he had on his desk for lunch and felt the urge to throw up again. She ran over and dropped to her knees by his waste basket and started dry heaving again.
