“Thank you, and love you more! Rock that date, babe!” and then ended the call.
Vienna couldn’t help but smile at the thought. She had an actual real date to attend.
Vienna arrived at Ashley’s building and waited for her as she came downstairs. Climbing into the passenger seat, she leaned over and kissed Vienna. They had decided to take Vienna’s car for the day, on her insistence, of course.
Vienna couldn’t help herself as her eyes hungrily roamed over Ashley’s body. She was casual in washed-out jeans and a tight white Tee shirt and Ray-Ban Aviators.
“You look so hot, Ashley.” Vienna was almost a little awkward. She shouldn’t be. She was the best in the world at going on dates. It was different when she had to bring her real self.
Ashley smiled. “Thank you. You, as usual, look incredible. You shouldn’t wear these little dresses in front of me. They do things to me. How am I supposed to keep my hands off you?”
“Really? I put a lot less effort in seeing as I’m not being paid this time.” Vienna commented with a laugh.
They started the drive to Sandy Hook. The atmosphere was light, and the silence was comfortable as the two exchanged few words, mostly admiring one another and the scenery they drove by.
“Can I ask you something?” Vienna started.
“Yeah, sure. Go ahead.”
“Not seeming to be rude or anything, but why Sandy Hook? Is there something special here?” Vienna was surprised by the calm and eeriness of the location at this time of the year.
“Well, I used to come here all the time as a kid with my parents. They loved the silence here at the far side of the beach.” Ashley had a story to tell.
“I’m sorry if you were looking forward to someplace else. It’s just that I haven’t been here in a long time, and I thought if I was ever to face the ghosts from my past, it might as well be with you by my side.” Ashley completed, smiling at Vienna.
Vienna felt warm at Ashley’s confession. But she felt the chill in the words.
“Things weren’t ideal, were they?” she deduced.
“How did you know?”
“Well, this is the first time you’ve mentioned your parents. Doesn’t exactly bode for an ideal childhood.”
“You are right. This is the place where I used to stand alone.” Ashley continued,
“As my parents and Stacey played and laughed in the background. Stacey is my elder sister. The perfect child, as people like to say. She is lovely and pretty and feminine. I was always this awkward tomboy girl. My mother kept trying to put me in dresses and then getting frustrated that it didn’t look right. Stacey is a surgeon now. Her job is more impressive than anything I have done. Saving lives- you can’t get close to that.” Ashley was lost in thought.
“You’d think having an elder sister would be great, and you’d play together, be there for each other. It was nothing like that with Stacey. She never once acted like the bigger sister. She was always looking for ways to just stay on top. Ways to take me down. I mean there’s always competition between siblings, But she was serious. She had to win at all costs. And my parents were proud of her. No matter what I did, I was never enough.”
Vienna squeezed her hand as she drove, letting her know she wasn’t alone. Ashley smiled at her sadly before looking out the window.
A memory flashed itself in Ashley’s head.
“Stacey! Give that back!” a 12-year-old Ashley yelled at her sister.
She was running away from Ashley with Ashley’s necklace in hand. Her late grandmother had given it to her. The woman had loved Ashley while her parents had barely noticed she existed.
Stacey laughed as Ashley ran behind her, tears threatening to fall. The simple four leaf clover pendant necklace was something she loved more than anything.
Nearing to where their parents were, Stacey slowed down, looking back at Ashley, a glint in her eyes. Ashley tackled her to the ground, grabbing the necklace from her.
“Ashley Davidson! What is the meaning of this behavior?” her mother yelled, as elegantly as she could. She was all about appearances, after all. Her father trailed behind her with a disapproving look.
Stacey let out a fake cry and ran to her mother.
“I was just playing around with her and.. and look at what she did to me.” She let a few tears roll down her cheeks, and the stage was set. Someone hand her a bloody Oscar, Ashley thought to herself.
“This is very disappointing, Ashley. She is your elder sister. You have to be respectful. People are starting to stare. Look at what you’ve done!” her mother scolded her before taking Stacey’s hand.
“Come on, sweetheart, let’s get you some ice cream.” Lovely and feminine Stacey sniffed a few times and straightened her pretty dress before walking with her.
Ashley stood there, a few tears escaping her eyes as she watched her family neglect her. Her mother and father were showing genuine love and care to her sister. As for her, they had nothing but disappointment in their eyes.
She walked towards the seaside and let the water touch her feet. She looked at the necklace, a smile creeping on her face. Grandma had always managed to make her feel better. Even in death.
Ashley eyed the beach as it came into view and began,
“They weren’t bad people, but they just did not get me. I just wanted to be with them and make them proud and feel loved.”
Vienna had sensed sadness in her voice a few times. She felt honored that Ashley had opened up to her. She felt sure Ashley didn’t often open up to anyone.
“Well, you are now the richest and one of the most successful women in the entire state. I am sure they must be proud now.” Vienna said, holding her hand reassuringly.
“I stopped caring a long time ago.”
Ashley continued, but the voice now had more calm.
“Sorry, this got too intense for a first date.” She said with a warm smile.
“Are you kidding? Finally, someone who values me as more than an object. I know opening up is not that easy, but thank you. I like this date.” Vienna told her, sincerely.
“But yeah, also pretty intense.” She chuckled.
“You’re impossible!”
Ashley burst into a hearty laugh.
“But yeah, probably I am too old for a regular dinner date.” Ashley continued as she played with Vienna’s fingers.
“If you are missing Trisha, you can tell me. I’ll make the age jokes; yours aren’t as good.” Vienna teased as a smile spread across her lips.
“Oh speaking of Trish, I haven’t told her yet. She’ll be ecstatic.” Ashley told her with a roll of her eyes.
“Besides, it was all her idea, to begin with.” she continued.
“I am glad things happened how they did. But yeah, do tell her soon, I miss her slumber parties too.” Vienna went on.
“Oh, you don’t worry, she will dig everything out the moment she sees me.” Ashley laughed.

“Hey Trish, I was thinking you and Kevin could meet me at Double Eagle Steakhouse. We could have dinner, and I also have a surprise for you.” Ashley spoke softly over the phone.
“You are into surprises now? What world did I wake up into today?” Trisha teased,
“But alright, I will be there with Kevin.”
“Okay, I am making an 8 pm reservation. See you guys, then!” Ashley hung up the phone.
Vienna breezed into Ashley’s penthouse as requested at 7 pm. She wore a short green dress. Her lovely legs perfect in heels. Her golden hair in loose waves and her make up minimal.
Ashley’s eyes went straight to her. Every time she looked at Vienna, she was completely dismantled.
Her eyes were bright and vibrant, the same color as the dress.
“Ms. Vienna. Thank you for coming. We are double dating with Trish and Kevin tonight.”
Vienna smiled widely.
“But, first. Come here.” Ashley leaned casually against the back of the sofa in slacks and a button-down shirt.

br /> “What are you up to?” Vienna asked almost shyly.
Ashley outstretched her hand, and Vienna took it. Ashley pulled her body close. “You smell incredible. Ashley buried her face in Vienna’s breasts. She saw a small bruise on her left breast, which was probably from her mouth. She smiled to herself. She took her right hand and put it under Vienna’s dress, pulling down her panties. Vienna raised each foot in turn as Ashley pulled them off her. Ashley put them to her nose and sniffed them. Vienna thought it was the most erotic thing she had ever seen. Ashley with Vienna’s damp black lace thong in her hands.
“Fuck, you smell amazing.”
She pushed her right hand back under Vienna’s dress and slid her fingers lightly across Vienna’s sex, making Vienna gasp.
“I want you. Now,” she said.
Vienna nodded. There was something about Ashley’s desire for her that made her speechless. As though her voice was only capable of saying, “Please. Please fuck me.” and nothing else.
Their eyes locked. Vienna’s whole body pulsed with excitement.
Ashley took her and led her out onto the roof terrace. They were so high up, the sound of the traffic was faint. The breeze was keen, and the sun was beginning to lower in the sky.
Ashley led Vienna to the edge and stood behind her. Vienna looked down over the secure railings at the city below her. She leaned into Vienna’s back, and her arms snaked around Vienna’s body, pulling her breasts out of the top of her dress. They spilled over the top, and her nipples were instantly hard in the cool breeze. Vienna froze for a second, and her hands instinctively went to cover her breasts. All her confidence was suddenly nothing in Ashley’s hands. She could see into offices, into other apartments. She could see the whole city from up here, and her breasts were suddenly completely exposed.
Ashley pulled Vienna’s hands roughly down. “Leave your breasts open. Let the city see them. They deserve a treat. They deserve to see your beautiful body. They deserve to see you get fucked up here.”
Her lips close to Vienna’s ear again. Vienna felt scared and exhilarated all at once. Desire flooded through her body, feeling Ashley’s hands rough on her wrists. What on earth was this? She had never imagined that rough sex would turn her on so much. She had never imagined that a client would turn her on this much.
Vienna’s eyes nervously darted around the windows she could see. She daren’t look down. Ashley’s hands pushed the skirt of her dress up. The fingers of Ashley’s right hand were between her legs, probing her wetness. Ashley’s left hand wrapped around her breasts, grabbing them roughly, teasing her nipples.
Ashley leaned into her back, pinning her against the railings, Ashley’s fingers were inside her and fucking her and Vienna forgot for a second how exposed she was. She loved the feeling of Ashley inside her. It felt like nothing else on earth. Those people in those offices. Were they far enough away? Surely they were far enough away that they wouldn’t see her being fucked like a slut up here on the roof.
Ashley pulled her right hand out of Vienna and raised her fingers to Vienna’s mouth. Vienna looked for a second at Ashley’s fingers, slick with wetness from her arousal; she didn’t hesitate, she took them in her mouth. She was licking, sucking, cleaning, suckling. She was tasting herself.
Ashley took her right hand back between Vienna’s legs. Vienna was weak, unsteady. Ashley’s right hand was persistent, thrusting, fucking. Her left hand moved to touch Vienna’s clit.
Vienna came in seconds. Her climax was earth-shattering. Her world, as she knew it, entirely changed.
Vienna and Ashley entered the steakhouse and were hit by the smell of delicious steaks sizzling, waiting to be devoured.
Ashley took her hand and led her to their seats. Vienna still felt uncomfortably wet between her legs. Ashley had not let her put underwear back on, and knowing she was naked under her dress was a distracting turn on.
The waiter came and filled their glasses with wine as Ashley and Vienna talked and laughed.
Kevin and Trisha approached their table.
“Hey, you two! How are you? More importantly, how’s the food here?” Trisha said once they settled down.
“Well, we..” Vienna pointed to herself and Ashley, “are good. And I hope so is the food.”
“Hey Ash, what’s the big surprise you told me about?” Trisha continued.
“Oh, I’ll get there, but first check the décor ideas I sent you. I want your opinion.” Ashley said, referring to an email.
“And also Kevin, leave some of your wife for me too. You have her annoying ass for life now,” she said rather cheerfully to Kevin, who nodded with the smile of a teenager newly in love.
He brought Trisha's hand to his lips and kissed it tenderly, making Vienna squeal at the couple. Ashley put her hand on Vienna’s naked thigh under the table and chuckled.
“Ash, you could have picked any one of them, you know my tastes,” Trisha replied, her eyes still on her phone.
“No, it’s your wedding. You should have something to blame yourself for too.” Ashley answered as everyone broke into laugher.
“Excuse me, guys. I have a call to take. I’ll be back.” Kevin said, moving to a side, met by nods.
“TELL ME WHAT IS IT!” Trisha exclaimed curiously.
“I want you to meet my beautiful new girlfriend,” she nodded towards Vienna.
“What? I know that already. I was the one who came up with..” Trisha stopped immediately and looked between the two before gasping loudly,
“Oh, you mean REAL girlfriend... OH MY GOD, THAT’S GREAT! Omigod, I can see it now. You two have just been fucking, haven’t you? She’s got that orgasmic glow all over her.” Trisha yelled loudly as her expressions changed.
“Arghh. That bruise on her breast and her arms! ASHLEY! What have you done to the poor girl?!”
“Oh god, sorry I should have worn something else!” Vienna went to pull her dress up to hide the bruise. “I just… I like it. They are consensual.” She looked at Ashley with puppy dog eyes and then to Trisha. “I like that she is leaving her mark on my body. Is that so wrong?” Vienna blushed.
“It is AMAZING. You are having great sex, right?!” Trisha winked.
“What’s great?” Kevin’s voice sounded surprised as he came back to the table.
“Um, Trisha was telling us how lucky she is to have you and how great everything is.” Vienna chipped in, as she found words to complete the sentence.
“Oh, some beautiful wife I have. I am the lucky one.” Kevin commented proudly.
The rest of the dinner went normally, Trisha dissected the food yet again while trying to get out as much information she could discretely about Ashley and Vienna.
Ashley’s hand trailed up Vienna’s thigh under the table.
Vienna felt herself melt with lust. She was amazed the others couldn’t smell the sweet scent of her arousal.
The two women arrived back at Ashley’s penthouse, and Vienna took a seat on the plush sofa, making herself at home.
“Trisha was right; the night is beautiful,” Vienna said as she gazed into the starry sky, and the city at night view, through the floor to ceiling windows. Ashley poured them both a glass of wine and sat down next to Vienna.
“I was wondering if you could tell me about your childhood. About life before Meredith Bowes and Black Label?” Ashley remembered Vienna’s words the first time they met.
“It is not a happy story; it could ruin this romantic night.” Vienna hesitated.
“There is nothing more romantic than opening up and pouring your heart to someone who cares.” Ashley’s voice had unusual warmth as she held Vienna’s hand.
“Well, I never knew my father. I don’t even know who he is, and I had an addict for a mother. She only cared for her drugs. Things regularly got bad. I was in and out of foster care. Many different homes. Many different foster parents. Some cared. Some didn’t. I learned to be tough. I had to be. To survive.” Vienna continued. Ashley didn’t let go of her hand.

“But as much as I hate my mother for what a terrible parent she was, she gave me life. And she gave me this face and this body. I have had a lot of therapy, since joining Black Label. Meredith puts us all through weekly sessions with a therapist, so I have found ways to deal with it all. My face and my body have given me power. They gave me Meredith, and she gave me an education and a chance at life. I have the world at my feet now. Not a bad compensation, I’d say.” Vienna continued, her wit and humor never leaving her, even during her pain.
“But I am happy now. Honestly.”
“Don’t worry; you have me,” Ashley reassured her.
“That is what matters now,” Vienna replied with a smile.
“I’ve been thinking, as well. The first time we had sex, I was paying you for that date for your company. I just took you into the bathroom and had sex with you. I didn’t ask you if you wanted to. I didn’t clarify if it was a business arrangement or a separate thing. It was unfair and demeaning, and I am so very sorry about that. I didn’t know where we stood. I didn’t know what you wanted. I only knew I had to have you at that moment. ” Ashley poured her heart out.
“I shall only accept the apology if you pay me back with more sex. Better sex!” The sparkle in Vienna’s eyes was back.
“You know now, I’ve made it clear that our relationship is outside of our business arrangement, right? I know I am still paying your retainer and will still pay you to attend official functions with me, but outside of that, the time we spend, the dating and the sex, is entirely your choice?
Vienna nodded. “I know. I know.” she laughed, musical. “I would like to say on record that I am choosing to have sex with you, even though you aren’t even paying me.”
“And the nature of the sex, you are happy with that? I know I can be a little rough. More so with you, because I want you so much. I see more and more bruises on your beautiful body from my hands and mouth.”
“I like them.” Vienna blushed. “I like the bruises. They make me feel owned. I like the sex—a lot. I never really had it this rough before, but it is a revelation. It makes me feel so alive and in the moment.”
