The Boardroom Series – Complete Boxed Set (Boxes 1 – 6) : An office romance turned seductive submission

by Annabel Lucas

  “She said she asked if you wanted to have dinner with her tonight.” Shane listened closely to his reaction to this piece of information.

  “Oh.” His voice stayed even, nondescript, giving absolutely nothing away.

  “She also wanted to know if you thought that I would go shopping with her today.” His body was still, as he considered the proposal.

  “Do you want to?” he asked.

  She laughed. “Go shopping with Tess?” Shane was now the one to consider. Yes. Yes, she did. “Sure, that would be fun,” Shane said testing the waters.

  He nodded and smiled. “She knows all the best places.”

  “Ry?” She pulled away.

  “What?” he asked. She felt it between them, he was holding back words he didn’t want to say.

  “What?” She mirrored; her eyes wide. “Is it weird? Me going with her?”

  “Oh, you know...” He stroked her back for a moment before his hands working the water through the tangle of curls that hung down her back. “I guess so. There was a time when she was all I could see.”

  Shane nodded and closed her eyes. Listening as he chose his words carefully.

  “And now?” She coaxed.

  “And now, she’s not.”

  Simple and straight forward. Good answer, but she still pressed him. “I saw the kiss. You were holding yourself back from her. There was no lack of desire. You still want her.”

  She felt his lips on her shoulder. His fingers trailing down the back of her arm. “It’s different between Tess and me now.”

  “How?” Shane asked. His arms tightened around her, and she understood he wanted to protect her from what he was about to share.

  “She’s beautiful. I’ve always been attracted to her. That part isn’t gone.”

  Shane nodded in agreement. “She’s incredibly beautiful.” It occurred to her that she was going to have some sharing to do as well.

  Ryan continued, “And she has always had the ability to draw me in. The difference now, is you.” He drew back and looked at her before he went on. “With you in my life, like this…I’m stronger. I never would have been able to resist her before, but now she feels more indulgent, like,” he paused again trying to find the words. “Like a piece of chocolate that has your mouth-watering. Now, I can choose to not eat it.”

  The giggle rolled from Shane’s lips before she could stop it. “Mouthwatering? She is that.”

  “I’m saying too much.” He said, trying to put the right words together again. “Shane, it’s just that...”

  She let him hang onto the thought for only a moment before she interrupted. “Ry…”

  The humor was gone from his eyes, replaced with what she could interpret as a real desire to share his perspective with her. He turned it over in his mind. She could see it working.

  “Ryan.” she cupped his face in her hands. Forcing eye contact. “Look at me.” She watched his focus come back to her. She wanted him to present what she had to say.

  “Ryan.” She began again. “She is mouthwatering…” Shane dropped her eyes, unable to finish the sentence as his gaze penetrated her.

  “To me too.” Shane watched as understanding dawned on him. “I watched you kiss her back. I can see the hold she had or maybe, has on you.” Now it was her turn to choose words carefully.

  “I understand you have a history with her. I was curious. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to respond to another woman as you respond to me. I only want you to kiss me. The thing is, I think I’d like her to kiss me.” She pushed on, before he could interject. “After I saw you two kiss, I had this really naughty dream.”

  “You did?” A slow smile crossed his face.

  Shane nodded. “So naughty.”

  She had his full attention now.

  “What was it about?”

  “About you and Tess, and what happened after the doors closed.”

  “And what happened?” he asked, he hands massages her shoulders.

  Shane took a deep breath. “She was toying with that hold she has on you; making you want her.” Shane paused. “And you did.” Shane corrected. “You did want her, in the dream. She had this way of increasing your desire by pursuing you, then denying you. I could see this inner struggle going on and honestly, it was really sexy.”

  As he listened, he worked his hands into her curls, wetting her hair. “And then what?”

  “She undressed you. She got on her knees and took you in her mouth. It was so slow and sensual. She was incredible.” Shane looked up at him and saw that his eyes were heavy with desire. She could feel higher arousal between her thighs. She shivered under the warm shower.

  “What happened then?”

  Shane smiled, remembering reality colliding with the dream. “I don’t know, just before she made you cum, I woke up in the middle of my own multiple,” she leaned in, repeating her words, “multiple orgasms, with my own fingers moving like crazy over my clit.” Shane shook her head, caught in the reverie. “I came so hard. “

  He smiled. “You did?”

  “I did.”

  “There’s more.”

  “Really?” His cock stood at attention now, as his hands pressed her against his body. He moved with a rhythm she recognized, building her need. She wondered if he even realized he was doing it. He was still catching up, wanting to hear more.

  “I had another dream.”

  “About Tess?”

  Shane nodded.

  He was curious now. “What happened?”

  “It was last night after you told me about you and Tess after we made love and fell asleep. I started dreaming I was in the elevator with her. This time I was the object of her desire.” Shane swallowed. Her mouth watered at the memory.

  “Ryan.” She stopped. “Ry. It was so hot.” she wanted to relay all the details, grateful to share with him. “She undressed me…”

  “What else did she do?” His voice was thick. His hands had found their way to her ass, and begun to squeeze, pulling her into him. His cock hard against her belly.

  “She blindfolded me.”

  She heard his breath catch.

  “She went down on me.” And then his mouth was on hers. The mouth sucked on her lower lip, his tongue tasting hers. His cock throbbed against her belly. Shane moved her mouth under his jaw, his morning stubble rough on her kissing lips. She bit his earlobe lightly as he lifted her in his arms. Her back was against the bathroom wall with Ryan’s hands hooked under her knees. He shifted her weight to find the right position.

  Shane felt the pressure of his cock pressing into her, stretching her wide as his hands pulled her thighs apart.

  “Oh god. Oh my-” she breathed in the wet warmth of his skin.

  “Keep going,” he said in her ear. Her words were coming faster now. Shane needed to finish the story.

  “She went down on me,”

  His cock thrust into her and he began to move.

  “She went down on me and made me cum.” He was moving faster, fucking her harder, deeper.

  “Oh fuck. Fuck me. Ryan. Ryan. Ohhhh god.”

  Ryan pressed her into the wall, trapping her between the cold tiles and his solid chest, his hands on her ass as he fucked her. His need was relentless.

  The heat she’d been carrying since the first dream was a fire ready to ignite and as his cock stroked her, the orgasm that lay, barely sleeping, came to life. Pleasure welled up, over-flowing from her belly. It spread through her limbs. His breath was hot on her skin as she slid from his arms and kissed him, turning away from him so he could take her from behind.

  She pressed her chest into the wall, feet apart and her ass presented to him. For him. He took her narrow hips in his hands as his cock found her pussy. She felt him between her lips as the head of his dick slid against her swollen clit making her want him more.

  He leaned forward and found her mouth. Kissing her, tongue exploring as he entered her fully. She felt him shudder as their bodies rocked in the steamy shower u
nder the downpour of the still-hot water.

  The orgasm flooded through her without warning, stealing her voice and her words. He fucked her until she didn’t know how many times she came, riding the aftermath until his cock let loose inside her, satisfying his own need. Surrounded with the heat of the shower and pounding water she could hear nothing but white noise and the sound of his voice saying her name.

  After, Ryan slipped out to make arrangements for her outing with Tess and allowed her to recover alone. Shane squeezed shampoo into her hair and lathered her curls. The suds slid down her sensitive skin, muscles warm and spent. She shaved her skin smooth, ridding her body of excess hair under her arms, on her legs. At last, she carefully lathered and shaved her pleased pussy clean of all traces of the soft curls that his hand was so used to caressing. Once out of the shower, she encouraged her dark hair to curl and smoothened the hotel lotion into her legs and arms, leaving her skin soft and supple.

  CHAPTER 2

  Boutique

  G etting ready to go shopping with Tess felt an awful lot like getting ready for a date with a boy she’d been crushing on. Except for this time, it was not a boy. This time her crush was on the golden goddess and they were going to do girl things. Lunch and shopping; So simple still, Shane could not stop smiling. She could not explain how she’d come from feeling completely intimidated by this woman to curious about her then, wanting her.

  Wanting Tess. What did that even mean? Shane didn’t know and she didn’t care.

  Ryan was as excited for her to go with Tess as Shane was, and he wasn’t even going. Shane finished her makeup and ran her fingers through her silky curls before she slipped out of the bathroom.

  Ryan had left the door open enough that the room carried the moisture of the shower. The sun streamed in through the open window, and she strode to him crossing the sunbeams on the floor to slide into his arms. He was dressed. His dress shirt and slacks starched. The way they pressed against her skin aroused her- this was not a secret. He kissed her gently as his fingers explored her freshly shaved pussy.

  “This,” he paused eyeing her work. “…is nice.”

  Shane smiled as she kissed him back. Enjoying the caress. “I thought you might like it.”

  “What time is she coming?” Shane asked.

  He eyed his watch. “About twenty minutes.”

  Hmmm. She kissed him again before she turned away.

  “Better hustle.”

  Shane thought she’d brought clothes for every possible occasion, but she felt unprepared for this. Shane thumbed through the possible wardrobe choices in her suitcase and settled on matching undies and bra. She slipped into the ivory and lace undergarments and then slid into her favorite jeans. The denim hugged her curves, accentuating her toned thighs, and the way her waist curved into her hips. Simple and understated. This was what she did best. Trying without trying. She slid her pretty polished toes into fuzzy socks and her favorite boots. She had brought this for the flight home, but it would do today. Shane added a gold chain around her neck and diamond stud earrings in her ears. She glanced at the tops hanging in the closet and selected a fitted black blouse with an open back. Simple and sexy. The outfit would easily transition from their daytime shopping trip to outfit for the evening when they met Ryan and Anthony for dinner.

  “Shanie, she’s downstairs,” Ryan called, looking up from his phone.

  “Okay.” She smiled. Her heart quickened in her chest. Shane crossed the room to kiss him, she twisted side to side before turning completely around. “How do I look?”

  He took her in silence. Eyes following the curves of her body before returning his gaze to hers. “Beautiful.”

  He rose to hug her and kissed the top of her head. “Have fun, baby.” His eyes extended acceptance. He meant it. She was free to let the day be what it would be.

  She smiled up into his eyes. “We will”.

  “See you at dinner.”

  She smiled. “Okay.” The door clicked behind her and then she was riding down the golden elevator to have a girl’s afternoon with Tess.

  The doors opened to reveal the hustle-bustle of the afternoon hotel lobby. She’d been locked away inside the hotel room long enough to forget the size of the crowd that resided in the lobby.

  Shane scanned the expansive room for Tess and found her with a smile and a wave. Shane watched her, crossing the lobby, and as she drew close, Shane could hear Tess calling name.

  “Shanie! Shanie, over here.”

  Shane smiled and moved through the crowd to meet Tess’s s embrace. “I’m so glad you can go out with me today. I wanted to go shopping and thought it would be fun to go together. Tonight, we can catch up with Ryan and Anthony for dinner and maybe dancing at the club? What do you think?” Tess asked.

  Small talk eluded Shane. She was so happy to be with Tess, she just wanted to soak in the day. “I think that sounds wonderful.”

  Tess’s hand had closed around hers, and Shane followed as Tess pulled her along. “Just over here. The Uber driver is great.” Tess turned and lowered her voice. “I scored him for the rest of the day. I don’t want to share him, and I don’t feel like waiting.” She cocked her head at Shane. “Do you?

  Shane shook her head. “I didn’t even know you could do that.”

  “Well, you know.” Tess shrugged. “I just ask until I get what I want.”

  Shane nodded. I’m beginning to see that.

  “Listen, there’s the best little shopping center, and they have a great sushi bar over there if you’d like to grab a bite to eat. What do you think?”

  “Sounds perfect.” Shane said, “Honestly, I have no agenda for today. I’m up for anything.”

  The crowd thinned as they stepped out of the hotel into the desert heat. The uber driver waited in the roundabout for them. Shane knew it was him before Tess spoke the introductions.

  “Shane, this is Joe.” Joe was, well Joe was delicious. Tall and lean with dark hair and laughing eyes. “He’s driving us today.”

  “Hi, Joe.” Shane smiled, feeling suddenly shy. The day seemed to want to bless her. Who was she to refuse those blessings? No wonder Tess wanted him.

  Tess didn’t seem to notice her nervousness. Joe opened the back door, Tess slid in and gestured for Shane to follow. Tess continued on with his bio as he closed the door and went around to the driver’s side.

  “He’s a resident at the med center. He drives on the side for extra cash. He’s abandoned his uber route to drive us around all day. Shane smiled at him, as he climbed into the front seat. Shane caught his eye in the rearview mirror. Yes. Of course, he had.

  It was Shane’s turn for introductions. “Joe, this is Shane. She’s the best. She had a beautiful weekend planned for us, but due to some unexpected events, our plans were waylaid. She’s been taking such good care of us.”

  “Hi, Shane.” He nodded at her from the driver seat. “Nice to meet you.” His voice was warm and low. The smile she’d seen in his eyes intensified as he spoke.

  “Nice to meet you too,” Shane said, her voice soft.

  Tess pressed on, “Joe, will you take us over to the Boutique?”

  He nodded, “As you wish.” Tess laughed and turned her attention to Shane. “Shanie have you spent much time in Vegas?”

  “Not much, I learned most of what I know about the places to be from internet research for our trip with you and your family,” Shane admitted.

  “That’s okay, we’ll have some fun today. I know all the best places. Joe, before we go to the Boutique, would you take us down the strip?”

  He winked at them from the mirror. “You got it.” Besides being sexy as hell, and pre-med. Joe also grew up in Vegas. It was like getting a private tour of the city.

  Tess leaned into Shane pointing out landmarks, her body soft and warm. “Over there is the Bellagio, and the Paris Hotel, there is the…”. Shane listened to the monologue but knew she’d be unable to regurgitate the information she’d been given, not while Tess sa
t pressed against her. Shane was more interested in the way Tess’s soft curves fit against hers than any building that lay beyond the window.

  After taking in the Vegas landscape, Joe took a few quick turns and pulled into a sprawling mall that sported palm trees and desert landscaping. Rock formations and high-end stores dotted the shopping horizon.

  Shane soon discovered that shopping with Tess was an experience on its own. When they stepped into a store, any store, the staff knew her at once and had coveted items set aside with the hopes that she might like them.

  Shane leaned into Tess when they’d come to the third store and the staff reaction to her was the same.

  “I think I’ve been doing this wrong. I have never had anyone so excited to see me when I’m shopping.”

  Tess laughed. “It’s not me, it’s the money. They are like bees to honey. They like my spending habits, that’s all. It opens all kinds of doors.” She paused, “Come see my favorite store. Let’s look for something you might like. I love your outfit, but tonight may call for something,” Tess paused, “a little different.”

  Shane nodded and followed. Entranced by her hostess and the way she walked in the world. At the center of the outdoor mall lay a boutique. It was, in fact, called, The Boutique. It was an elegant stand-alone building that invited the destination shopper inside, rather than pulling in the general masses.

  Shane followed Tess, and when the door closed behind them, the outside sounds ceased. “Oh, hello, Miss Tess.” Shane looked for the owner of the voice but didn’t see him immediately.

  “Hello, Steven,” Tess replied she smiled warmly at a small impeccably dressed man who emerged from behind a clothing rack. “How are you today?

  “Very well, Miss Tessa.”

  “Steven, this is my friend, Shane. We’re doing little shopping for a dinner date we have tonight.”

  “That makes for a lovely day. Do you have anything special in mind?” He asked.
