“Just one night. We will never speak of it again.”
That was all Sam needed to give her the final push to say no. That was all Drake was capable of. One-night stands. She knew it and that statement clearly reminded her of why she had to say no to him.
“I’m going inside now, Drake. We have a big day tomorrow. I’m going to choose the group of women that you will hopefully find your wife in.”
Drake sat back in his seat dejected again. He had tried so many times with Sam and so many times he had been turned down. Drake started to think that Samantha was a lesbian or something. He couldn’t figure out how she could continue to deny him.
“Alright. But some day, Sam. Someday, you will be mine.”
Drake said it like he was a super evil mastermind and Sam was the good guy he had chased after for years. He even used the evil mastermind voice. Samantha couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’ll never catch me, pretty. Never. Wahahaha,” Samantha said as she got out of the car and headed to her apartment.
She still felt the soft touch of his lips on hers and the moistness of her desire for him on her panties. Sam wanted Drake and if there was any possible way she could let it happen without ruining their relationship and business she would have given into him. But there just wasn’t any way to make it work. Sam would have to find her prince charming somewhere else. For now, she would find him the girl of his dreams.
Chapter 9
Friday was the final interviews and Robert welcomed all the women who had been called back to take part in the final questions. Robert was firm with the women and told them they should leave right then if they were not ready to make a commitment to Drake when all was finished.
“Drake’s goal is to find a woman that could be his power partner. Although this week will be a lot of fun, the end goal is very serious. Drake needs someone by his side as he continues to literally take over the world. Will that someone be you?”
Sam walked in while Robert spoke to the women and she had her eyes covered by very large sunglasses. Robert knew exactly what that meant; she and Drake had been out late drinking. It was sort of their thing together. Robert always had to get home to his family and Sam was the only other person around that Drake trusted himself around to drink with. Some of the best business ideas came to Drake when he had consumed one or two too many.
“Hello everyone,” Samantha interrupted Robert as she moved to the front of the room. “Today we will not be holding back at all. Robert and I will be interviewing the hell out of you to see if you will crack. By the end of the day, we will have our seven women. So, let’s get started. Victoria, come with us.”
Sam hadn’t even taken off her sunglasses yet as the three of them made their way down the hall to the room where they would be interviewing each of the women.
“Victoria, tell us a little about you,” Robert said.
Victoria took a deep breath and looked at Samantha and then over to Robert. She wanted to impress them, but her logical side said the best thing to do was to just be herself.
“I’m a Harvard professor in History. I have my head stuck in books when I’m not doing Pilates or teaching kids at the local youth center.”
Samantha perked up when she heard that Victoria did Pilates. It was certainly something that a woman should do if she wanted to take care of her body. And Victoria looked like she took really good care of herself.
Victoria was very thin, probably barely a size zero. Sam felt herself get a little jealous of the svelte frame that Victoria had. Victoria’s short brown hair was impeccably styled and although her makeup was very simple, it fit her personality perfectly.
Victoria had on a sensible black dress, but at least it was a dress. Sam noticed that Victoria didn’t look all that comfortable wearing a dress, but she commended her on the effort. Obviously, if Victoria spent her days teaching college, she probably didn’t go around wearing fancy dresses to work. That was alright with Sam, she just wanted to know that each woman would make an effort for Drake.
“How well do you handle conflict with other women?” Samantha asked as she took some notes on Victoria.
“I don’t usually fight with women, or men for that matter. But I have also never been in a situation like this one before. I’m confident I will be able to handle the tension between the other women.”
“Our first rule is that there will be no physical violence against the other women. It is essential that everyone feel safe in the house, even if you are not getting along.”
Victoria just smiled; there was no way she would ever fight with women over a man or anything else. She thought it was a little silly that it even needed to be a rule. There was obviously a lot of very well educated and sophisticated women there for Drake; it didn’t seem like a group of women that would fight over a man. These were not the type of women who would fight at all; or at least that was what Victoria thought.
“Of course, I would never lay my hand on any of the other women. I would work with them to discuss our issues. You certainly do not need to worry about any violence from me.”
Samantha was happy with that response and they continued to discuss the other rules that Victoria would need to abide by if she was chosen to stay in the house.
Victoria didn’t have any concerns except for one. There was one question she had meant to ask during their interview the day before, but she hadn’t gotten the courage up to ask Samantha or Robert.
When the interview was almost over, Victoria got the courage to ask her question.
“Are we going to have to have sex with the other women?”
Victoria appeared extremely nervous as she asked her question. It didn’t seem like she was afraid enough to leave the process, but she really did want to know the answer so she could prepare herself mentally for the week.
“Would you have a problem with that?” Samantha asked in response.
“Well, I have never slept with another woman. So, I don’t know. I’m not really attracted to women. I don’t think I would have a problem with a threesome. But I don’t think I would want to kiss another woman or have sex with her.”
“You’re not attracted to a woman like me?”
Samantha uncrossed her legs very sexually. Robert’s eyes almost bulged out of his head. He had never seen Sam act like that before. He sat next to Sam and looked between her and Victoria. Sam rubbed her legs very seductively and Robert felt his cock get hard as he observed the interaction between the two women.
“You are a very beautiful woman,” Victoria swallowed hard as Sam got up from her chair and came over to her.
Sam delicately let her hand slide down Victoria’s face and rest on the crescent of her breasts. Victoria was turned on, Sam could tell.
“Women are beautiful creatures, Victoria. I encourage you to be open to the idea that you might enjoy having fun with another woman if that is what Drake asks of you.”
Victoria stared at Sam and licked her lips. As she looked at Sam, Victoria couldn’t help but think that it was possible that she would enjoy a sexual experience with another woman. She would especially enjoy the experience if the woman looked and acted anything like Samantha.
“Yes, I’ll be open to the idea,” Victoria said as Sam returned to her seat.
“Thank you for coming. You can return to the hotel and we will call you in the morning and let you know if you will be moving into the house for the week.”
As Victoria left the room. Robert couldn’t hide his shock anymore.
“What the fuck was that, Sam?”
“Oh Robert, you know Drake is going to want a woman who swings both ways. I just had to see if Victoria would be open to the idea.”
“Um, do you swing both ways?” Robert asked curiously.
Samantha just laughed as she walked out of the room and down the hallway to get the next woman. She wasn’t about to give away any of her own personal sexual secrets to Robert, or Drake for that matter.
“Emily,” Samantha cal
led out in the conference room. “Well, aren’t you just adorable,” Samantha said as Emily stood and followed her back to the interview room.
Samantha couldn’t help but smile as they walked to the room. She knew Drake would love this girl. Samantha had found Emily through a friend and she knew the girls story very well. She was very young, only twenty-two years old. Emily was also very inexperienced when it came to sex. Samantha had heard she was with her high school boyfriend up until earlier in the year.
The thing Samantha loved about Emily was how she had answered all the sexual questions they had posed to her during the first round of interviews. Emily was ready to be explored sexually and open to anything.
Chapter 10
Emily entered the interview room and she looked too adorable to even date Drake. Robert really couldn’t understand why Samantha picked this girl. She was innocent and not experienced like Drake had asked for. Robert thought for sure Emily would leave before she was able to finish the interview process.
Emily was 5’1” tall with a delicate frame and short blonde hair. She was obviously confident as she sat down across from Sam and Robert, but there was a shyness about her too. Robert looked over at Sam and shook his head as he hoped that Sam would need to show this girl how much fun flirting is with other women. Robert definitely thought Sam should show all the women her flirting. It had turned him on a great deal.
“Thank you for coming, Emily” Robert started the interview. “We would like to start off by getting to know you a little more and discussing your past.”
“Sure. I’m an open book. You can ask me anything you would like.”
“Your profile says you’re a writer. Can you tell me more about that?” Robert started to take notes but quickly stopped when Emily began to answer her question.
“I write porn. You know those sexy little stories in Penthouse and such. That is what I write.”
Robert just sat there and looked at Emily as what she said sunk in. She looked like the girl next door. Sweet, young, blond and shy; he couldn’t imagine that someone who looked like her could have the ability to write the smut that he secretly read in those magazines.
“Um, did you say porn?” Robert asked.
“Yes, I know it’s weird. But I actually am one of the top-selling writers in the field. I have three of my own books and I get paid to write several monthly columns.”
Samantha had known this about Emily and that was why she saw the potential in her. Even though Emily hadn’t actually experienced many of the things she wrote about, Emily was clearly very sexually open to suggestion.
“Tell me about something you have written recently,” Robert asked.
“In Playboy, I just had an article published that talked about the benefits of mutual masturbation in the bedroom.”
Robert choked a little on his coffee as he heard what she said. He just couldn’t get over how sweet and innocent Emily looked and yet she wrote the filthiest filth there was. It excited Robert and he knew that Drake would like her a lot.
“That sounds quite interesting. What was your advice based on in the article?”
It was a fair question. Emily had admittedly only been with one man her entire life. It was unlikely she had experienced all the things she wrote about. Robert was intrigued to hear where she came up with her advice and ideas.
“Well, I just know it. I know that masturbation is healthy for each of us to do individually and masturbating with your partner will give them the ability to learn what gets you excited and how they can please you. It’s only logical that it would be the perfect learning experience for both partners.”
“Seems reasonable to me. I’ll have to tell my wife about that when I get home” Robert joked.
There was no way in hell he was going to tell his wife about mutual masturbation. Robert’s wife was definitely a firecracker in the bedroom, but he didn’t think she would appreciate hearing sexual advice from a woman Robert had interviewed to sleep with Drake.
The whole process was sort of embarrassing and Robert didn’t want to tell his wife about any of it. Drake didn’t care if Robert talked to his wife Cindy about things that went on in the office. It was Robert who didn’t like to tell her things. Sometimes it was better to just leave things as a mystery.
They continued on with the interview process and Emily had plenty of questions about the rules and day to day schedule in the house. She seemed very detail oriented and that appealed to both Robert and Sam. Drake really did need someone around that was detail oriented; it would help him when Sam and Robert were not around.
“Can I ask why rule number two says that there is no outside sex?”
“Yes, that just means that there should be no other sexual encounters with people outside the home. It goes for you women as well as Drake. For this week, you all will be committed to this game and figuring out if you are the perfect match for Drake.”
“Oh, thank you for clarifying. I thought it meant we couldn’t have sex outside.” Emily laughed and Samantha took a note to update that rule and clarify it.
They continued on with their questions and made sure that all the other rules for the week were very clear to Emily. She was the youngest of all the participants, but Robert and Samantha really liked her. They weren’t sure if she would be the perfect match for Drake, only time would tell that, but she was certainly a fun match for him.
“Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to come here, I know it was very short notice,” Robert said as he stood up to walk Emily out of the room.
Robert liked Emily and thought Drake would like her too. He wasn’t so sure Sam would agree to pick her, though. It was difficult to know for sure. Emily’s age was a definite factor in why Sam might not like her. Drake didn’t have a good track record with women, but especially with young women. There had been a young twenty-one-year-old that totally turned into a stalker when Drake had fucked her at a party and then never called her. That memory was still very fresh in Samantha’s mind; Robert knew she would be concerned about choosing Emily.
“Oh, I wouldn’t miss this for the world. Drake is one of those guys that you fantasize your whole life about. I’m so excited to be here and possibly get to spend time with him.” Emily turned back and shook hands with Samantha. “Thank you again for the opportunity. I’m very excited.”
“Yes, you are welcome. We will let you know in the morning. Please enjoy your night in the city.”
“Do you need to show her anything?” Robert said to Samantha with a smile.
“What?”
Robert used his hand and traced it down his chest to his pecks. He circled his nipple with his finger and then brought it back up to his lips and sucked on it.
“I mean, she might need you to show her,” Robert said as he continued to smile.
“Oh shut up, Robert. No, I’m not doing that again. Just take her back out to the lobby and bring in the next girl.”
Robert had to tease Samantha a little. Their relationship was mostly like that of a brother and sister, but the way Sam had acted around the first interviewee that totally turned Robert on. He would be game if she wanted to have a make out session with any one of the women they had to interview that day.
Chapter 11
Sophia is their next interview and both Robert and Samantha can’t stop staring at her. She is a redhead bombshell with curves in all the right places. She has confidence and seemed to flirt just a little with both Robert and Samantha as she walked into the room.
Her gaze was intense and Robert found himself needing to hide a hard-on as Sophia’s eyes made contact with his. The whole day had turned out to be very arousing; he wished he had worn some more supportive pants to hide his reaction to all these women.
Although Sophia appeared to be a shy, quiet girl, she had answered her sexual questions very openly and seemed to be interested in some of the things that Drake also liked. Sophia also made eye contact with Samantha, which was something many of the women struggled with.
It was a huge positive in Sam’s mind that Sophia was confident enough to actually look at her.
“Did you have a good evening? Were you able to explore the town at all?” Samantha asked Sophia.
“Yes, I went to dinner across the street. It was really nice, thank you.”
Robert thought he caught a glimpse of Sophia as she looked at him, but then she looked back to Sam very quickly. It wasn’t a regular glance; Sophia looked at Robert with an eye of desire. He hadn’t seen a woman look at him like that in a very long time and couldn’t figure out why Sophia had. She was a very attractive young woman and not the type of woman he would have even dated when he was on the market. He would have loved to have dated someone as sexy as Sophia, though.
There was something about the way Sophia held herself that was so sensual. She rubbed her ankles together slightly; she bit her bottom lip every now and then; both Samantha and Robert noticed.
“Where did you grow up and how did you end up running a clothing store in Chicago?” Samantha asked.
Sophia slowly bit her lip again as she contemplated what she wanted to say to them. She had lived a rough life and it wasn’t necessary to share all of her history with people. In fact, she hated to share any of her history at all. Sophia was quiet about her past and thought diligently about the best way to describe it to her interviewers.
“Growing up was difficult for me. I felt out of place from a very young age and always wanted to fit in. I found fashion when I was a teenager and started to work at the clothing store that I now own. It was my outlet and my place of serenity when life got crazy. I valued every moment I got to go to work. I learned so much growing up the way I did and I really wouldn’t change any of it.”
“Did you grow up poor?” Robert asked.
It was a reasonable question. Many of the women they interviewed had grown up with very little money and now had multimillion dollar businesses. It certainly wouldn’t keep a woman from being considered to date Drake if she didn’t have much money. Robert thought he had read that Sophia’s clothing business was pretty small and didn’t bring in much net income each year.
