“Great,” replied Robert as he stood up from the table and placed his hand on Kossi’s shoulder, standing eye-to-eye with him. “I’m glad I’m finally getting to meet the man who’s going to guide us to the Promised Land.”
Kossi smiled mightily as he looked over the table. “Well, I will be overseeing it,” he explained. “There are two women in our command who will finalize everything and make sure you all are operating on the same level we are.”
“Oh, wonderful,” said Robert. “Are they here tonight? I’d absolutely love to meet them!”
“Well, they’re actually in Australia right now, but I have arranged for a personal conference call with them,” he replied. “If you and your partners would like, we can head there now and start the quick meeting.”
Robert smiled as Dillon and Mina stood up from the table. “Ladies, we’ll be right back,” said Dillon as he stepped around the table with Mina in tow. “We’ll make sure to keep this brief.”
“Oh, it will be,” stated Kossi. “It’s early in the morning for them, and I can promise you the blonde doesn’t want to speak.”
Camille and Marisol looked on confused as Sulagna patted Marisol on the forearm. “I’ll make sure to keep the two of you company,” she said with a genuine smile. “They’re going to meet the big bad wolves.”
“Is it that bad?” asked Camille.
“No, not at all,” replied Sulagna. “They’re going to meet the two women who saved the Australian company. It will be a quick meeting.”
Robert, Mina, and Dillon followed Kossi down a hallway into a small room holding a computer with a camera connected to it and a projector. Kossi stood at the computer and pressed a few buttons, initiating the call and displaying two young women on the wall from the projector. Both women looked tired, appearing as if they just got out of bed. The first woman was slender with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, a tanned complexion, well-manicured eyebrows, and a gorgeous, soft face. The other woman looked angry, almost bothered from having to get up so early. Her skin was much paler and her hair was blonde, also pulled back in a ponytail. She appeared to be athletic, but wore a baggy sweatshirt that covered the shape of her body.
“Am I disturbing you?” asked Kossi with a smile. “I didn’t mean to wake you up so early.”
“Yeah, kind of,” said the angry looking woman. “It’s just now seven.”
Kossi laughed as the other three in the room looked on with an awkward gaze. “Well, I won’t keep you long, but it’s only nine o’clock here.”
“You don’t have to be at work in an hour and a half,” continued the angry woman. “I have to help the Chinese today, and I can’t stand my interpreter.”
“Kossi, don’t mind Hannah. She’s just not a morning person,” said the other woman.
“I’ve realized that if I ever need to talk to one of you before noon, always go to Alexis,” continued Kossi. “You are clearly the much more pleasant person in the morning.”
Hannah leaned up in her chair and stared directly into the lens. “Are you saying I’m not pleasant?”
“Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying,” joked Kossi, prompting a laugh from the entire room. Hannah stepped back from the camera lens and shrugged her shoulders with Alexis turning to face her while holding back a laugh.
“You are a bit angry in the mornings,” stated Alexis. “I love you, but you are.”
“Sleeping is my second-best attribute,” continued Hannah.
“What’s your first best?” asked Dillon, inserting himself into the conversation and prompting Hannah to tilt her head to see who said that.
“We’re not that close yet for you to find out,” she answered in a rude tone. “Who are you, by the way?”
Kossi stepped in before Hannah lashed out any further, looking at the other three in the room with a subtle glare and motioning for them to stay focused. “Hannah, Alexis, I would like you to meet the current board members of the New Zealand Oil Company. The tall man is Robert Acostis, the principal owner. The other man is Dillon Flannigan, the acting president. The beautiful lady to his side is Mina Patel, the daughter of Sulagna, who will be serving as the liaison with the COT.”
“Oh, wonderful,” said Alexis with a smile. “It’s nice to meet the three of you, but before we continue, Dillon, where are you from?”
“Miami,” he replied.
“So, another American,” she smiled. “Hannah and I are from New York.”
Robert looked at the screen in bemusement and assumed these were the two women who single-handedly saved the Australian Oil and Trade Refiners and derailed his plans for the distribution take over. However, with his plan remade and complete, he dismissed any ideas of holding a grudge and surrendered to the idea of working with them for the betterment of his own company. “Ladies, it is a pleasure to meet you,” he began. “I hope that, for the extended future, we will all be able to work together and do what is best for the COT and for all of the companies involved. If you happen to have any ideas, suggestions, complaints, concerns, or just simply want to have a conversation, do feel free to contact me.”
“Thank you, Mr. Acostis,” answered Alexis. “The same invitation applies.”
“Robert,” he replied, alerting them to call him by his first name. “Mr. Acostis runs the family winery.”
“Wine?” asked Hannah, sitting up with the mention of one of her favorite beverages. “I love wine.”
Robert chuckled as Hannah moved closer to the lens. “Your family has a winery.”
“In Athens,” he replied. “I also make my own at my home in Monte Carlo in case you are curious.”
“Is it any good?” asked Hannah bluntly, prying for information regarding his hobbies and passions.”
“I can promise you that it is,” inserted Mina. “I had some a few hours ago, and it was perfect.”
Hannah smiled as she moved Alexis away from the camera. “We might end up being friends after all.”
Dillon laughed. “I think our first meeting with these ladies may have to take place at your apartment or your family’s winery.”
“Or I could just bring several bottles with me to wherever we plan to meet up,” stated Robert.
“I’m okay with any of those options,” stated Hannah as Alexis slowly pushed her out of the way to take over the screen.
“Alright, really fast so we can start getting ready for our day,” stated Alexis. “I’m going to need to see your books to analyze your distribution network, along with the supply lines so that I can see what your balance of excess is.”
Robert nodded. “Will you be brokering the deals with the other companies, or will we have to negotiate with them?”
“I will handle most of the negotiations, as I have all of the information about inventory at my disposal for everyone in the company,” answered Alexis. “There is nothing I don’t have at my disposal.”
“Perfect,” replied Robert. “I look forward to talking to you within the next few days.”
“As do I,” she said politely.
“So I will let the two of you get ready for your busy day. Take care now,” stated Kossi as he hung up the conference call and turned off the projector. “If you all want to head back to the party, it’s right down the hallway. I will join you shortly.”
Robert, Mina, and Dillon all thanked Kossi in unison before walking out of the room and headed back to the party. They walked down the hallway and into the ballroom to see Sulagna, Camille, and Marisol waiting for them at the table. With a quick tap on the shoulder, Robert alerted his date that they had arrived. “Well, how was that?”
“I think it went well,” said Robert as he pulled Camille’s chair back. “I think everything will end well for us.”
“I hope so,” replied Camille.
Chapter 8
Camille and Robert ultimately decided to call it a night after all the travel and the late night the day before. With hugs goodbye to Marisol, Mina, and
Dillon, Camille and Robert traversed up to his suite to spend the rest of the evening in a quiet manner. With their plans to stay in Zurich for the next few days while the company gets set up inside the Consortium’s network, Camille cleared her schedule with FC Monaco for the week so that she could spend more time getting to know Robert without having the confines of work hanging over her.
She walked into his suite and kicked off her black heals that matched her black cocktail dress. Her hair was still beautifully sculpted like the day she and Robert met, and her makeup brought out her stunning eyes. Robert walked in behind her and kicked off his shoes, landing in nearly the same spot as Camille’s. “Great minds think alike,” she quipped as she walked past the couch and turned the corner into the small bedroom with Robert slowly trailing behind her.
He stopped at the small bar and reached down into the refrigerator, pulling out a bottle of the wine. He opened it up and pouring a glass for the two of them. With the drinks in his hand, he walked into the bedroom and handed her the glass. “Bottom’s up,” he said as he toasted it in the air before placing the glass on his lips and tilting it upwards. “I can’t believe it’s finally over.”
“And so fast, too,” stated Camille with a roguish grin. “I normally get depressed when I see a man move that fast, but I suppose this time I can be a bit impressed.”
Robert chuckled as he shook his head in disbelief, looking up to see Camille lying on the bed with her dress still on, appearing to be completely exhausted. “Thank you for coming to Zurich.”
“Oh, it’s no big deal. I’ve always wanted to visit here anyways, and you were just the perfect excuse,” Camille explained, playing off her affection. “I do hope we get to see more of Zurich tomorrow than from your hotel room.”
“If you’re lucky,” replied Robert. “I rather like the view in here. It’s a bit gaudy, but all of the best hotels in the world tend to be a bit over the top.”
“As long as it has a bed, a couch, and a toilet, I’m generally satisfied with my accommodations,” detailed Camille. “I tend to not go overboard when it comes to my lodging requirements, because the beds are always garbage and everything else is just a petty detail.”
Robert smirked. “I like a little bit more than what you just mentioned,” he stated plainly as he finished his glass of wine and placed it on the table beside the bed. “I like to know that if I get hungry in the middle of the night, someone will bring me food. I like having a shower with a great nozzle and perfect water pressure. I like having a seating area where I can actually have a meeting if I need to without having to rent a conference room for it. I also love to have a refrigerator in the room so that if I do happen to bring some of my wine from my home, I can keep it chilled for all to enjoy.”
“I can agree with that last statement,” said Camille as she held her glass in the air. “This is an incredible wine. I never thought I would ever find myself voluntarily drinking wine, but here I am. You’ve converted me to some hoity-toity wine enthusiast.”
“No, I haven’t,” dispelled Robert. “I have turned you on to one wine that you enjoy, but there are thousands more that you will need to try to become an enthusiast.”
Camille shrugged a bit. “You have turned me on to more than just wine, sir,” she said playfully, bringing back the use of her innuendos.
“Oh, have I?” asked Robert.
“Perhaps,” she answered playfully. “I’ll never really tell you.”
Robert smiled. “And why not?”
“Because I’d rather show you.”
Robert climbed into the bed and spread Camille’s legs before placing his hands on both sides of her ribs and kissing her. Camille wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him forward. They locked lips for a good while as Camille brought her hands down and started unbuttoning his shirt, pulling it out of his pants and yanking it off of him. Robert stepped back and pulled Camille up, reaching behind her to grab the zipper to her dress and pulling off, unhooking her bra while she was up and pulling them both off at the same time, not wasting much time. They continued to kiss as Camille sat up and reached down to loosen Robert’s belt and unbutton his pants. With their tongues and bodies touching, Robert pushed Camille onto her back and continued to control her, much differently than how it occurred the previous night.
He reached down in between her legs and slipped his fingers inside of her again, just as he did before and listened to her moans become muffled through their connected lips. He moved his fingers in and out of her rapidly, causing her hips to flex from the continued penetration. His middle and ring finger moved quickly inside of her, penetrating as far up as his knuckles before pulling back almost to his fingertips. They made out as he did this to her, with her hand quickly moving down into his boxers to find his thick shaft. With it firmly in her hand, she started to slowly stroke it while he fingered her pussy, with each of them trying to match each other’s pleasure.
“Are you going to take control tonight?” asked Camille as she pulled away from Robert’s lips with a sadistic look in her eyes, almost as if she was going throw Robert on his back and recreate the previous night’s encounter.
“Yeah, tonight you do what I tell you,” stated Robert with authority as he pushed his fingers in as far as they would go, giving himself a bit of leverage as she let go of his cock and placed both of her hands behind her to give him some resistance. He leaned forward and started kissing her again as her pussy tensed up and he felt the orgasm building. With each motion, the muscles tightened, and within seconds, they contracted, causing Camille to scream in ecstasy as Robert continued to pound her with his fingers. Her mouth quivered as he pulled out his fingers and wiped them off on his boxers. He took them off, stood up on the bed, and pulled her to a seated position. She looked up at him with a devilish grin as she reached up and grabbed his throbbing cock and taking it to the back of her throat before pulling it out and starting again. Repeatedly, she went down as far as she could before coming back, looking up to see Robert’s face contort a bit with each motion as her tongue grazed the bottom of his shaft.
She placed her hands on his balls as she continued to work his cock in her mouth. He pulled her head back as he started to get close, not wanting to go off just yet so that he could take his time with her. He got down on his knees and kissed her before pushing her onto her back and spreading her legs. He pushed her knees back before lowering himself down to her honeyed center to lick her clit. Using his fingers to spread her lips, her clit was easily exposed, and within seconds, she was already moaning loudly. With each flick of his tongue on her clit, she moaned passionately as he pushed her closer and closer to climax again. He continued to work, keeping his head in her hot pussy as his tongue forced her to the edge. Accompanied by a loud moan, Camille climaxed again, this time flexing her hips up into Robert’s face as she placed her hands on his head, holding him there. She screamed, sustaining it for several seconds as the blood continued to pump down to her increasingly wet pussy.
Robert smiled as he lifted his head and looked up at her with a sly grin. “Are you alright so far?” he asked rhetorically before grabbing her ankles and pulling her back to him. He slid up and placed his cock in the right position, pushing it into her wet pussy and immediately feeling how tight she was after her orgasm. She rotated her hips while he worked his cock inside of her, bringing it in and out in a slow motion as he got himself warmed up, trying not to push himself too hard, too fast. He wanted this encounter to last a while, but with the work she already did, he was mindful of what it would take to sustain his momentum. He really liked Camille and wanted to make sure he gave her the most pleasure possible, not treating her like a woman he just brought home from a pub, but like someone who he thought he could spend a great deal of his life with. He wanted to make sure that every encounter was accompanied by a great experience and that her needs were always taken care of first. He worked his cock inside of her slowly with Camille offering resistance, still getting
warmed up as she moaned with the feeling of his thick cock stretching her out in the perfect manner.
He tilted her legs further back, placing the balls of her feet on the headboard before raising his hips and thrusting his cock inside of her at a different angle, almost appearing to drop it in her before pulling it out. He was nearly at a ninety-degree angle with her hips pushed as far as her back would allow. His cock was hitting at a much different angle, causing Camille to moan differently, but still getting pleasured just the same. He brought his cock almost to the tip of her lips before thrusting it back in, repeating this action to maximize the sensation and the thrust. With each deep penetration, Camille moaned louder, clearly enjoying the position she found herself in. “I’m not normally on my back,” she said to him as he continued thrust inside of her, speaking in between loud moans. “But to be honest, I think I could get used to this.”
“I don’t know,” said Robert as he balanced himself with his hands on the head board. “I did enjoy someone taking control last night who actually knew what they were doing.”
“Maybe we can take turns then,” she replied before letting out a loud moan. Robert pulled out and brought Camille’s legs down, turning her over and placing her on all fours. He spread her legs and put himself in between them before inserting his cock inside of her from behind. He placed his hands around the top part of her hips and pulled her toward him, meeting her in the middle with his thrust and providing all of the resistance he would need. Even with Camille using her arms to brace herself, Robert’s pulling of Camille’s hips offered plenty of force as she screamed in pleasure with every passing thrust. Minutes passed in this position as Robert moved faster and faster, getting himself closer with every stroke. Camille felt his cock growing and pulsating, knowing that the end was near and his sweet release was upon her. She smiled as her pussy started to tighten, feeling one more orgasm building as she felt the warm cum coat the inside of her pussy. As it hit the back of her vagina, she moaned loudly as the muscles simultaneously tightened and her orgasm commenced. Simultaneously, both Robert and Camille climaxed with the two of them moaning in ecstasy as their mutual experience concluded. Robert pulled out of Camille before falling to the side with Camille doing the same, rolling into his arms as he wrapped them around her.
