"Oh yeah, how is that cowboy of yours doing?" Brittney asks, brightening up. "Is he still riding you till the sun comes up?"
Now it's Carla that's rolling her eyes. "Hello, it's riding till the sun goes down, and they're usually talking about a horse," Carla says and takes a sip, looking around the table. "And yes, he is."
Brittney giggles and I can't help but put out a bit of a laugh.
There's a whole bunch of us that came together to form the 'Mistress Moaners' as we liked to call it back in the day.
Not everyone liked the name, but then again, not everyone always liked us. I think back and look at my friends, trying to remember how they all came together.
So, Alicia came to New York City after graduating from USC. She went to USC with Rory and the two of them grew up in Montcove. Rory is still in Montcove with that rockstar of hers.
Ashley and Alicia knew each other from the same sorority at USC and Ashley was already here and the two were roommates. Ashley ended up with Apollo the billionaire who bought her Blush Magazine.
Christine was roommates with Ashley after Alicia moved out when she was in graduate school before she started dating her professor.
Natalie lived down the hall and the three of them became good friends, until Ashley and Christine moved away. Thats when Carla moved in, and she was friends with Lisa from their days growing up in Long Island. They became friends with Christine and got brought into the whole circle of the Moaners.
I became friends with Carla after she moved out and was looking for roommates in Murray Hill.
Who else?
Right. Becca Whiting the Biker's Woman. She knew Lisa growing up in Long Island and she was roommates in college with Kim. Kim's the one dating her stepbrother now. and Lisa has some president of a motorcycle club as her man. Oh right, Lisa and Fiona are also sorority sisters who met each other in college and stayed in touch when Fiona moved to New York. Fiona is still dating Danny Manning - the quarterback for the New York Nailers. Apparently it's going pretty strong.
Alicia has the billionaire, Derek Lowell. Carla has her cowboy. Becca has her biker. Christine has her professor.
And now, I'm pretty sure that I can say I have my rockstar. Although Rory, when she passes through or goes to Myrtle Beach with us will always be like oh no, she found a rockstar first.
So I'm going to just go ahead and call him...
"Gisele baby," Ashley asks from the opposite end of the table. What time does your guitar hero of a man say we should get to Barclays?"
We're sitting at a corner table of PDT which stands for Please Don't Tell. That's right. We're in the speakeasy on the Lower East Side - the one that's attached to Criff Dogs.
I don't know who thought it was a good idea to stop for a drink in Manhattan before heading down to Brooklyn. I mean, it's not like Brooklyn doesn't have bars. We're going to Barclay's Arena so there's going to be like hundreds of bars. Besides, when you roll with this many girls, each dolled up and with their own tiaras (figuratively speaking) you need either a whole subway car or a motorcade of Ubers.
"Is he going to pull you up on stage and flash his cock?" Ashley asks with a laugh.
"No," I say, sticking out my tongue. "You're not going to see his cock come out."
"Because it's gonna be in your mouth?" Brittney asks, her face completely serious.
I burst out laughing. Brittney's sounding kind of drunk already. I don't know how she's going to hold it while we cross the East River.
It's been a solid month since Stone held me in his arms and told me he loved me. Told me that he no longer needed any pills or medication to stay off the drugs and alcohol as long as he had me.
I gotta admit though that hearing that was enough to send my head spinning so fast. One of the most powerful and iconic rock and roll legends of my time was so into me that he was able to love me and use it to not have to drown himself in opiates anymore. That's enough for any girl to feel all warm and fuzzy.
I mean, there's still a lot of things I need to work on him. For one, I want him to stop living in a hotel. The W is great and all. But paying 10,000 a month to live in a suite and not have a proper roof over your head is a bit strange - even for me.
Trust me, once I get him living like a normal human being - Ashley said that Apollo could help him find an apartment that's as cool as the W - then I have a laundry list of things that I need to do to make Stone better.
Not that he's not the best right now. He's the best man that I've ever thought could walk the planet. And honestly, even if I didn't get any of the things I want to change him with done, I'd be absolutely happy.
But there's a reason I have all this going through my head.
The first is because he's my lobster. So I can absolutely do these things to him.
The second?
If he didn't get exasperated at me, where would the fun be?
"Are we ready?" Brittney asks, standing on unsteady legs.
I get up. I know the comment about getting my guitar god exasperated sounds a bit bitchy. But I mean well.
The giant H3 stretch limo pulls up outside on Avenue B, as we walk out the entrance to PDT. Stone sent it for us and we all sort of stumble in.
"I hope you tell him thank you for the ride later on tonight," Carla says to me.
"Right, thank him with a powerful blowjob, babe," Lisa says with a chuckle. "Hoover his brain out his cock."
The girls giggle. We pop champagne as the car takes off and I think back to the things I want to do to change my rockstar.
Maybe they can wait, actually.
Lets just enjoy right now together.
While we're young. And happy.
The best is of course, yet to cum.
;)

You like that lil description of how everyone knows each other? Well, here it is in like graphic!
So we go to one of the central people herself then, Ashley!
Description
Mr. Billionaire Boss thinks that he’s going to own me? Well, you wanna know what I say? Let the buyer beware…
So what if he has more money than God?
So what that he’s so handsome that he can halt New York City traffic as people stop to stare at him.
At those gorgeous eyes, that ripped physique, and that huge bulge in his pants that can only be his…wait, can it even be THAT big?
Whatevs. As he’s getting admired, I’m stealing his cab. Sorry, bub. This is the big city. You snooze, you lose. Right?
Wrong.
Because Apollo Kane is more than just some hapless New Yorker who lost a cab to me.
He’s my new boss. Oh no!
That only leaves one thing unanswered…
How badly is he gonna punish me?
And how much am I gonna like it?
*** It’s the cute single girl versus the Big Bad Boss in this second installment from Mona Cox. Guaranteed to be sweet, sexy, sassy, and fun. No cheating or cliffhangers. Happy Ending? Always, babe ***

Ashley
I wake up slowly, surfacing in a groggy fog. My head is pounding and I’m not sure if I want to be awake, but there’s some reason…
Something I need to…
There’s this nagging worry at the back of my mind…What the fuck am I worried about?
I shoot up in bed, shoving my hair out of my eyes. The guy lying next to me—Mike? Dave? Troy?—is snoring away.
“Wake up,” I say, shaking his shoulder.
“Wha…?” he asks blearily.
“I have to go to work,” I say, swinging my legs out of bed, heading for my bathroom, “and you need to get out of my apartment.”
“Oh,” he says, disappointed, sitting up and rubbing his eyes with the palms of his hands. “Are you sure you aren’t up for a little morning fucking?”
I poke my head around the corner of the bathroom and glare daggers at him. “I am late,” I say, enunciating every word, “and you need to g
et the fuck out of my apartment. Pronto.” I run through a sponge bath that barely covers the basics, and then hit my closet. I rummage through my clothes, trying to find something that I can throw together that won't look like I threw it together.
Morning fucking. Is he fucking with me right now? I brought him home last night, hoping to finally get some, but nope, he just fell asleep on me, too drunk out of his mind to fuck. Now my six-month itch is six-months-and-one-day old, and I have to go to work horny.
Again.
I peek my head around the corner, making sure he's moving his ass, and he is.
Slowly.
I consider throwing a shoe at him to hurry things along, but then decide to hold back.
For the moment. I’m not above chucking the shoe if need be. A nice stiletto would get his attention, right?
I finally settle on my low-cut lilac silk shirt and black pencil skirt, ‘cause I know it’ll emphasize my curves just right. My immediate boss, Dick Henningford, is a lecherous old man who forgives his female employees almost anything, as long as they wear the right clothing. I’m not above using this to my advantage.
And anyway, I have a feeling that this morning, I’ll need his forgiveness because I check my iPhone and see that I only have 65 minutes to get to work, and it takes 60 minutes to get there.
On a good day.
Oh yeah, I’m fucked-not-actually-fucked this beautiful Monday morning. Ugh.
I stick my head around the corner again and spot Dave-Mike-Troy sprawled out on the bed, snoring.
Stiletto time!
I pick up my red patent leather pair—my favs—and chuck them across the room, one after another.
“WHAT THE HELL?” Dave-Mike-Troy roars, jackknifing into a sitting position.
“Awww…you’re awake. How sweet,” I purr sarcastically. “Now will you get the fuck out of my house?”
Dave-Mike-Troy mumbles a string of swear words under his breath as he shoves his arms back into his shirt and begins buttoning it up—using words that even I don’t use very often—but I don’t care. He can call me a cunt all day long if he wants, as long as he’s leaving as he does it. Now I'm kinda glad I didn't fuck him last night.
I pull the closet door shut and begin stripping and dressing in the confined space, and not for the first time. I struggle to zip up my skirt as I bat hanging clothes out of my face; I make the resolution to clear out my closet of everything I don’t absolutely love and give it away to Goodwill or whatever.
The problem is, I love it all. I don’t work at a fashion magazine for nothing. It’s my life.
Finally dressed, only makeup and hair left, I exit my overstuffed closet to find an empty apartment. Dave-Mike-Troy has exited the building. Or, at least my part of it, and really, that’s all that matters.
After only 30 minutes in front of the mirror, which I consider to be nothing short of supersonic speed, I tap on my iPhone and check the time.
Fuccckkkkk…I only have 35 minutes left until I’m officially late to work, so by time I get downstairs, down the block, take the next train, and run down the two blocks from the subway station to Blush Magazine…
Well, I’m not sure even my push-up bra can save me today.
As I begin my hike down the three flights of stairs, I pull my iPhone out of my Kate Spade purse. Fuck this. Yeah, rent is stupidly expensive in Manhattan and I probs shouldn’t be spending money on a cab to get to work, but sometimes, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. If I don’t take a cab, I may not have a job to get to. I may as well have stayed in bed and taken Dave-Mike-Troy up on his morning fuck. At least then I wouldn’t be as horny as hell right now.
I debate between a yellow taxi cab and an Uber as I push open the front door to my apartment complex. A cab will be faster but more expensive. An Uber may not be close by. I should probably—
“Taxi! Hey, taxi!”
Some oh-my-god hot guy is flagging down a passing yellow cab. His suit is delish and his ass even better. I almost forget what I’m supposed to be doing as I take a moment to appreciate the fine specimen in front of me, but at the last moment, I remember:
I need a ride to work. Like, right now.
So I do something I’m not exactly proud of, okay? I’m not gonna write home and be all, “Hey Mom, guess what I did today? Yeah, that’s right, I fucked a guy over and stole his cab.” As I slither in past the oh-my-god hot guy and into the backseat of the cab, I even make myself the promise that I’ll post a “Sorry to the universe” apology on Instagram tonight. Complete with a sexy sad face. I can’t have karma completely biting me in the ass, right?
I slam the door close, just missing oh-my-god hot guy’s fingers and yell to the driver, “Go, go, go!” He slams on the gas and we take off, swerving into traffic, just missing a hot pink Toyota Prius.
I can’t help myself. I’m sorry, universe, but sometimes, you just have to.
I roll down the passenger side window and hang my head out of it, looking back at the guy and waving madly at him, a Cheshire grin on my face.
“Sorry!” I holler, my hair whipping around my face.
Sorry not sorry, but we can leave that part out, right?
Besides, the guy is just…uhhmm…..hot?
Like seriously, my thong would be wet if I were looking at him for another few minutes.
He had piercing blue eyes and a rugged looking face. Dark wavy hair. You could tell under that suit that fit his frame so well was a body that you probs would spend time licking over. And not one of those courtesy licks to get him to finally go down on you. No, like licking the ridges of his abs kinda body. A hard body.
Ripped and muscled and tan, oh my.
I settle back into my seat, ignoring the protestations of the Prius driver over me hanging out the window—take a chill pill, dude—and give the address for Blush.
I’m going to make it to work on time after all! Congratulatory pats on the back for me are in order.
I spend the rest of the ride just looking out the window, daydreaming about the guy. How he’d just walk over and pick me up and throw me on my desk and rip off my panties and bury his face into my cooch and just shoot me into orbit. Then just push his fat cock into me and make me yell and…
Okay, seriously, I need to chill out. This not having sex thing is just getting outta hand.
Besides, the guy seems sort of familiar. Where have I seen him before?
I walk into work after paying the cabbie (no drinks out on the town for me tonight, not with that bill) and realize, fuuuccckkkkk…something isn’t right. Like, usually on a Monday morning, people are a little slow to get to work ‘cause everyone’s hung over, but there’s slow to work and then there’s just not fucking working at all. The reporters and editors and photographers are milling around aimlessly instead of, like, doing something. Like, their jobs.
Panic grips me. I know two things off the bat, and I’ll give ‘em to you as they occurred to me:
1)No one’s gonna notice I’m (discretely checking iPhone) five minutes late. Yippee! I got away with it again. I am a rockstar.
2)No one’s gonna notice I’m late ‘cause something much worse than Ashley being late to work is going down. Much, much worse.
Damn.
My best friend, Natalie, spots me and rushes right over.
“Ashley, there you are!” she hisses. “They’re going to do the announcement in like two minutes!”
“Announcement? What announcement?”
“Oh my god, girl, you really don’t read work emails outside of work, do you? They sent it at 5:30 this morning. There’s some big announcement happening this morning, and, like, everyone thinks they know what it is. But for reals, no one knows. It’s all just gossip.”
She’s pulling me toward the back of the room, which is where everyone just shoves the shit they don’t know what to do with—it’s basically our communal shit storage area. Old copies of our magazines, props for photo shoots, Christmas decorations—all that crap that no one
knows what to do with and no one cares enough to organize.
But today, they had cleared all of that out, and put a dais up in the middle of it, with a microphone planted right up front.
You know, like what they’d do if they were planning on making a big announcement.
Like we don’t have jobs anymore.
Fuuuuuccccckkkkkkk…
Suddenly, not getting laid this weekend doesn't seem so important to me. I could be fired. In like three minutes, my fucking job could be gone.
I feel panic thrumming through my veins.
“Natalie,” I say, my voice rising in pitch. “Are we getting fired?” I may or may not have ended that question in a high-pitched squeak.
She whips around and grabs my arms, shaking me. “Don’t you freak the fuck out on me, Ash!” she commands, staring me in the eyes as she does it. She could be scary when she wants to be, and she wants to be right now. “Let’s hear what they say, and then freak out. For all we know, they’ve gathered us together to tell us that we’re getting extra large Christmas bonuses this year.”
“Extra large” would imply that we've received Christmas bonuses previously, but before I can point out how we’ve never gotten a penny as any kind of bonus, Mr. Isaouk steps up to the microphone.
This is a really bad sign, ‘cause he is a class A dickwad who’d fuck over his own mother for an extra $50. He also happens to own Blush.
No, seeing him definitely does not give me the warm and fuzzies.
“Hello?” he says, the mic screeching with feedback. Everyone groans with pain as the sound reverberates through their heads, but it does the trick; everyone in the room turns to stare at him.
Mr. Dickwad Boss Man begins droning on about how we’re a family and he cares about all of us, which could not be farther from the truth, and even he didn’t seem convinced by his speech when I glanced to the side.
