Web of Lies

by Elizabeth Knox

  “This makes no fucking sense,” she said under her breath.

  I turned my head to where she had just looked. I saw the TV and the small cable box with the time on it.

  I laughed as soon as I pieced together what she was thinking. “Is that what you think my downfall is? You think I’m a minute man?”

  “It was the only thing left!” She laughed, slightly rolling her eyes.

  I quickly lifted both her legs, plunged all the way into her and stilled. Her eyes went wide and I bent down to lick her ear before whispering, “Enough with the jokes, love. I want you to scream for me.”

  “My God!”

  I pulled out and thrusted back into her with a newfound force. I made sure it wasn’t too hard, but she would remember the feel of me for a long time.

  I picked her bottom off the bed and, using my powerful legs and hips, made her bounce off my dick.

  “Lance, you’re so big. It’s so intense,” she moaned out and reached up with her legs to lock them around my back. She wanted to take it all and I was ready to give it to her.

  I reached down with my hand and softly but definitively wrapped it around her neck. I never cut off any circulation or breath, but I applied a nice even pressure on her neck.

  She grabbed my wrist, a smile curling her gorgeous mouth.

  “Yes, Lance, I love that shit. Fuck me. Harder baby.” She dug her nails into my wrist and I could hear myself moaning out in pleasure. I found more purchase on the soft mattress and I pummeled into her hard. Her perfect tits bounced and her face was a mix of pain and pleasure.

  “Don’t you stop. Oh shit, Lance. Don’t stop! Squeeze my neck tighter!” She screamed out her demands.

  I was only there to please. I squeezed harder for a few seconds and released. I did this until I was sure she was about to cum and then I squeezed and held.

  “Fuck, fuck, fuck!” She scratched at my chest and locked her legs around my waist tight enough that I thought she would break my spine. I ground into her and right at the end of her orgasm, I released her neck, letting her get a huge breath before I pistoned into her. I raced towards my own release as sweat trailed down my back, causing the small scratches that she left on my back to burn. A little pain to go with my ecstasy.

  I fell on top of her as my body jerked and squeezed that massive amount of pleasure out of my body. We both just laid there catching our breath.

  “I don’t understand, Lance. You are amazing. So amazing.” She nuzzled into my neck and whispered sweet nothings into my ear.

  She used her nails to scratch and massage my scalp as she let my head stay in the crook of her neck.

  “You are the best I have ever had.” She blew warm air softly in my ear and used her tongue to lick around the rim. “I think I’m addicted. You’ve ruined me for anyone else.” Her hips softly swayed side to side, “That cock, it’s driving me crazy.”

  My body was already revving up for the next round, and with every whisper, I metaphorically puffed my chest out some more. She was making me feel like the man. Quicker than normal, I was ready for round two. I pumped into her slowly. I was sure she was at least a little sore. I might have gone a little overboard at the end.

  “Mmm, Lance,” she cried out her approval. She lifted up and kissed my neck. I kept the motion going until I was sure she was ready for all of me, but instead of letting me take the lead like before, she pushed on my shoulder so that I would rollover. I did as she indicated and without moving my rod from her womb, she situated herself on top. She had to put her hands on my abs because she couldn’t take all of me at first.

  “I think you’re too big. I think it’s too much.” She closed her eyes and bounced tentatively on the part of me that she was able to take. “I try . . . I try,” she said, her words coming out in broken sentences.

  Painfully slow, she moved her hand from my stomach and inch by magnificent inch she lowered herself down on me, her mouth forming a perfect O when she finally took me all the way to the hilt.

  Her eyes fluttered open and she licked her lips before leveling me with the naughtiest look any woman had ever given me. She just figured out that she was in charge and I was excited to see what this goddess had in store for me.

  Chapter Seven

  Amber

  It was almost scary how fucking perfect this man was. Usually people make up for what they can’t achieve in the bedroom by how they act outside, but Lance was nothing like that. He was a gentleman in the streets and a monster in the bedroom. He addressed every one of my desires without me even having to tell him what to do. The man read my body like a large print book.

  I wanted to see if I could give him even a small piece of what he had just given me.

  I used my legs to raise myself off him slightly before falling back down.

  “Shit,” Lance whispered before putting his large hands on either of my thighs.

  I picked up and dropped back down over and over again, and when I was comfortable with that, I added in a swivel.

  I’m from the south. If there is one thing I knew how to do, it’s how to ride a stallion.

  “What the fuck,” he groaned, his fingers now flexing and gripping at my thighs. I picked up the pace. Every so often he would clench his ass cheeks and lift up, and I would let my upper half fall back slightly. Every time he bucked, I flowed with the motion.

  “Amber, you’re going to make me cum too quick doing that shit.” He looked at me with hooded eyes as he bucked up again and my whole midsection flowed with him. “Shit!” He bit down on his bottom lip. Now all I wanted to do was win. I wanted to be the one who made him cum faster than he was used to. I wanted him to remember me long after we were done here for the night.

  I clenched my calves and just used my thighs and hips to move on him. I made sure I was completely centered and I bounced and flowed with every one of his upward thrusts. It got to the point where I wasn’t sure he could control his body anymore. He was anticipating my swirls and pussy popping. I basically trained him to help me bring him pleasure.

  “Amber, hold on. Wait, wait, just . . . fuck!” He let his head fall back and he gripped my legs hard. I dropped my full weight on him, taking him balls deep, and I grinded on him hard and fast, making sure to keep my walls clenched.

  “Fuck!” he bellowed out, deep and loud. His eyes and the primal need I saw in them was scary but also strangely intriguing. The beautiful clear honey color that I was used to was now almost completely gone, his dilated pupils were causing them to look black.

  Within a second, he had me on my stomach with his hands on my hips, hauling my ass in the air. He pressed my chest and face down into the bed. “Amber, listen, if it’s too much, say stop. Understand?” I let a whimper leave my mouth and I wiggled my ass closer to his heavy pulsing dick. He wrapped a hand in my hair and yanked my head up hard. “Answer me!” he snarled in my ear. I had freed the beast and this was the only warning he was giving me.

  “Yes, Lance, I’ll say stop if I can’t take it.”

  He drove deep into me without any further pretense. It was so much deeper this way. I didn’t know if I would be able to keep up with what he was about to give me, but I would try. He gripped my hips hard enough that I knew I would have a bruise there in the morning. He pistoned in and out of me with breakneck speed.

  “Amber, you better cum. Cum right the fuck now.”

  Something about the dominance and command in his voice pushed me over the edge. “Oooh, Lance!” I screamed his name as my body completely gave up on me as wave after powerful wave of my pleasure shot through me.

  I heard Lance take in a deep breath but I couldn’t turn to see if something was wrong. “Oh, shhhh . . .” He couldn’t even finish his words. He fell forward onto my back and I could feel the intensity of his release. His abs tensed crazy hard and then fluttered back to a relaxed state before tensing again with each and every pulse.

  After a few seconds, he rolled off me and lay on the bed next to me. Neither one of us tou
ched each other. We were too spent to even attempt to cuddle or anything like that.

  “Amber?” Lance called out my name, a deep gravelly tone floating in the air.

  “Lance?” I answered.

  “I have never lost control like that in my life,” he said in a bit of a whisper. “I don’t know what it is about you.”

  “Babe, you can lose control with me any time you want.” I rolled over to my side so I could look at him. “I meant what I said. I think I’m addicted.”

  He smiled and propped his arms under his head.

  I don’t know when I fell asleep, but it was three in the morning when he was waking me up.

  “Babe, wake up.”

  “Hmm, no.” I turned to the opposite side.

  “I’m sorry, I have to go to work. My coworker broke his hand punching someone in the face, so I need to go in.”

  “Ugh, fine. I already hate your job.”

  “I’m sorry. I’ll put the slam lock on, okay. I’ll talk to you in the morning.”

  “Go, go, go.” I waved him off and tried to get comfy again.

  I watched as he put his clothes on and heard the door click shut. Sleep was calling my name again just as my phone began to chime that I had a new message. There was no way I was answering that tonight. It could only be Lee at this time of night. I would tell her all the details in the morning. This was the first time I had ever in my life been this satisfied after sex. I was perfectly content just staying right here in bed in a state of bliss.

  The Lie

  Me- I understand why you’re so hard-pressed to get back at your ex.

  The Job- Yeah? Why is that?

  Me- The sex. It’s absolutely mind-blowing.

  The Job- Fuck you, I don’t need to know about the sex. I’ve already been there and done that. I don’t recall fucking being a part of your given tasks.

  Me- No, but it definitely was an added plus. It’s not often I experience something I never have before. Your ex did that for me.

  The Job- Be careful. If I didn’t know any better I would think you were falling in love.

  Me- No, I’m just thorough. I would never sacrifice what I have just to fall in love.

  The job- That’s what I thought too.

  Chapter Eight

  Amber

  “Oh my God! I hate that I made you go up to him!” Lee screeched in my ear. I had reached out to her this afternoon and basically gave her the play-by-play of how that man blew my back out. “It could have been me with the multiple orgasms.”

  “Yup, the next one is going to be perfect for you, just watch.” I had been through my share of breakups, but Lee had bad relationship after bad relationship. I don’t ever remember her having a good relationship, unfortunately, even though of all people, she was the most deserving of someone to love her.

  The phone beeped in my ear, signaling there was another call. I moved the cell from my ear and couldn’t stop myself from smiling once I saw who was calling me.

  “Hey, Lee, I have to go. I’ll call you back, okay?”

  “It’s King Salami, isn’t it?” Lee asked

  I laughed out loud, almost forgetting I was at work. “I hate that you nicknamed him that. Bye girl,” I clicked over to the other line.

  “My love?” Lance’s smooth voice caressed my ear.

  “Yes?” I answered, a bigger smile on my face. I didn’t even know why I was so happy to hear from him. I couldn’t afford to get so invested in a man, not after the last break-up I had.

  “I want to take you to the new play. We would need to leave straight from work though. You don’t have to stay late again, do you?”

  “No, I only have to do that once a month and it shouldn’t be every month.”

  “Great, I’ll be there at five.”

  “Okay, I’ll see you later then.”

  I hung up the phone and went back to my work. Nothing would be taking me out of this good mood.

  “Amber, I need a few minutes of your time.” Lana and Robert, the VP of the company, were coming up to me at four-fifty-nine.

  Lana had that evil grin on her face again.

  “I have plans today.” I tried to get out of whatever they were trying to get me to do.

  “No, it’s about your work from yesterday.”

  “Yes, your incomplete, incompetent work,” Lana said

  I turned back to look at her. “Excuse me, I purged just like you told me to.”

  “Amber, were you aware there is a whole box of missing client information? There are some high paying clients in that box,” Robert replied while stuffing his hands in his pockets.

  “What? I didn’t . . . I would have never thrown any . . .” I could feel the dread beginning to rise.

  “But you did!” Lana got a little closer to me, a clear invasion of my space. I looked to Robert to see if he was going to do anything to stop her, but apparently that wasn’t on his agenda.

  “I knew when we hired you that you would just be a waste of time. Here you are in your early twenties, wearing your tight clothing, thinking you would just get all the commissions based on your looks.” She sucked her teeth and crossed her arms over her chest. “You’re incompetent and a waste of space. I am sure you can work your way to the top at another institution.”

  I sucked in a breath. I couldn’t believe she was talking to me like this and that my boss was letting her. I felt the tears trying to fall, but I was doing everything I could to make sure that they didn’t. I heard a noise from the side of me and when I turned to see what it was, I just wanted to melt into the floor.

  Lance.

  He saw the whole thing.

  Chapter Nine

  Lance

  I walked through the doors of Amber’s work at exactly five p.m. No one likes to be kept waiting. I could see Amber and two other employees standing in the walkway in what looked like a heated discussion. The woman was basically yelling in Amber’s face while the man just stood back and watched the altercation.

  “I knew when we hired you that you would just be a waste of time. Here you are in your early twenties, wearing your tight clothing, thinking you would just get all the commissions based on your looks.”

  This wasn’t my fight. I knew I shouldn’t intervene. It wasn’t my place. I should just wait for the whole thing to be over and then we could go to the play. Something about how defeated she already looked urged me into action.

  I walked over to her with purpose.

  “Excuse me, sir. I’m sorry, we will be with you in one moment,” the woman who was just screaming at Amber purred in my direction. The man to her side took notice. They must be together or at least they were fucking.

  I turned to Amber. “Is this your boss?” I asked, completely ignoring the woman.

  She took in a steadying breath. “No, he is my boss.”

  I turned my attention to the man.

  “Sir, do you believe this to be a respectable company?” I asked, trying to keep as professional a tone as possible.

  “Absolutely. We do our best to provide our customers the best care.”

  “What about your employees? How can you stand by as your worker not only voiced blatant discrimination against this woman but also is approaching the situation in a hostile manner? I would be hard-pressed to find any lawyer or judge who would rule against her when she brings a harassment case. You have to learn how to treat people.” I tried to walk away but the man stepped in front of me.

  “Wait, wait, wait. No one is talking about lawsuits, right. I mean, it was only counseling.” The man was starting to sweat under the collar. There has never been a boss who liked the word ‘lawsuit’.

  “Well, I don’t know. I will have to talk with Amber about it, but if she wanted, I would write up my testimony as evidence to make sure all the lessons were learned. Again, that depends on this woman here though.” I gave him a smile and turned to where Amber was looking at me with a happy, shocked look on her face. I grabbed her hand and we walked out the door.<
br />
  “Amber, don’t worry about the purge. We will get it all fixed up. You did a great job,” the man yelled out as we left the place. Of course, he would try to smooth things over now.

  I made it to my car and opened the door for Amber to get in.

  “I can’t believe you did that for me!” She laughed and put a hand over her mouth. “I bet they are shitting bricks right now thinking I am going to sue them.”

  “Yeah, no one messes with my girl.” I gave her a wink and picked up her hand to kiss her knuckles.

  She blinked a few times and her face crumbled. She brought her hands back up to her face and she began to cry. My entire heart broke. I always made sure I didn’t get too close to the woman that I was with. I had been burned too many times in the past. Too many times I thought what I had was the real thing only to find out it was only me who held these feelings. At this very moment though, all I wanted was to take the pain away. I leaned over the middle console and pulled her into my lap. I held onto her while she cried and let out all her frustration and worry.

  After she was done crying and we had long missed the start time for the play, she slid back into her seat.

  “I’m so sorry. That was so childish of me,” she said, wiping the remnants of sadness off her face.

  “Nonsense. You can be yourself with me, Amber. If you need to cry, if you need to scream, if you need to act crazy, none of it would stop me from caring for you.”

  “Really?” She looked up at me with big eyes.

  “Really, babe. You’re my girl. All of you.” I leaned over to give her a chaste peck on her lips.

  “So, what do you want to do? We missed the play, but we can still go do something else if you want, or I can just take you home and we can watch crappy TV shows. Whatever you want, babe.” I squeezed her leg and started up the truck.
