Chapter 48: The Battle Starts
The next morning, she was still asleep when I woke up and I silently moved out of bed to prepare breakfast. It was easy, as her kitchen held food for a regiment. I brewed coffee and brought a cup to her bedroom. She did not open her eyes, but her nose sniffed like a rabbit that had found something interesting. I held the cup close to her face and one eye opened.
"James, you know what I want; I need this to wake up." She sat up and the blanket fell down, exposing her beautiful firm breasts, and she started to grin. "James, I'm up here. You can have them later, but I'd really appreciate the coffee!"
She sipped it slowly and when she was finished, she held out her arms. "James, come here and stay with me."
I wished her a happy birthday, told her that our presents were coming this morning and that breakfast was ready. She shook her head. "Darling, my present is right here." and kissed me.
"My love, I know how to start this day. George worked relentlessly yesterday and I want to thank him ..." and moved down to say good morning to him. He was quite happy to receive her attention and responded eagerly. She smiled -did I say before that my women smiled a lot? and suddenly stopped. Moving over my body and settling on my hips, I felt that there was some discomfort in moving at all, but she pointed George to her pussy.
"This is the way to wake up, James. The coffee helps, but the fun is here." She sank down and her face showed my progress: tight at first, but then relaxing and finally a satisfied sigh. "Yes, James, this is the way I'd like to wake up every day!"
She started to move, and it did not take her long to reach her orgasm; not earth shattering this time, but very satisfying. It came suddenly and surprised me, and I was still stiff. She laughed happily, pulled herself off and took my shaft into her mouth. She made love to it as I had made love to her pussy, and slowly I was coming also to my release. She knew the exact moment when I would explode and swallowed the first jet, but then let the remainder spray over her face and breasts.
She grinned. "Now I have my birthday present, homemade, from the original source and very satisfying." She looked at the white drops on her shoulder and her breasts and spread them into her skin. "This will stay with me the whole day and remind me of my present!"
The alarm clock buzzed, and she knew that the lazy moment had passed. "James, yesterday will stay with me forever, and I'll make certain that it will be repeated many times! But now I've to get up, as I'm still running a company and today is an important day! Get up, lazybones!"
I protested loudly. Who had prepared breakfast? She grinned. "It is my prerogative as a woman to say whatever I want, and my prerogative as your woman to tell you what to do. So get up, lazybones!"
She jumped up and when she was at the bathroom door, I whistled. She smiled and came back. "I just wondered whether you remembered your obligations as well!" I shook my head. "My love, this is not an obligation, but pure pleasure."
We finished our jobs, had breakfast and left for the office. I had told Eileen that the girls would arrive at two o´clock; in reality, they would arrive at about eleven o´clock, go to the house and prepare it for Eileen, filling it with flowers. At NT we had Simon Gage waiting for us; I told him what I had negotiated, and he was pleasantly surprised.
"Count de Winter, this is wonderful news and will save us a lot of money. Good job well done, Count!"
I looked first at Eileen and then at Mr. Gage. "Mr. Gage, we'll work together for a long time, I hope. Please call me James." He smiled surprised "It will be a pleasure for me, Count ... eh, James."
I went through my presentation and it was well received. Some suggestions were made using internal information that had not been available to me. A working lunch was served and finally the moment of truth arrived. At the last moment, Maureen and Jenny arrived, and Eileen told the incremented audience. "You all know my daughter Maureen, she's a shareholder in this company and runs the Sydney branch, and I must say she surprised even me with the success she had. And this is Mary Ann Parker; she's be the Executive Assistant to Maureen in Sydney (everyone heard the capital letters in her title). James has negotiated a deal in Sydney, and I would appreciate it if you would listen to him and then give your opinion. You all know that in this company I'll listen to arguments in favor or against up to the moment a decision has to be taken, and I'll make that decision after taking your arguments into account. James, please."
The audience now included the senior managers of the company plus two younger managers who were on a fast track. Eileen wanted the whole company behind her when she made the final decision. I went through the financial details, explaining that in my opinion, the land alone was worth more than the overall price paid. The only question that caused a bit of discussion was the Chair for Logistics. Why would we pay five million dollars? It had nothing to do with our specific business! I described the reasoning behind it: it would cause Mr. Simpson to work with us, not just walk away, and would give us an invaluable amount of information and connections. Additionally, we would gain a lot of institutional publicity, eventually some excellent trainees, and long-term a valuable connection to the University. One never would know when this might come in handy one day!
In the end, they all agreed, we shook hands and the deal was confirmed. They left, smiling and confident about the future of the company. I called Mr. Simpson and asked him to hold for Mrs. Monahan. She picked up the phone. "Mr. Simpson, this is Eileen Monahan, the CEO of NT. I'm pleased to advise you that we confirm officially the offer that Mr. de Winter has made and hope that you'll confirm it from your side."
Jason Simpson swallowed twice and then said that he was OK with the offer and accepted it. He had just sold the company he had built up during decades, but appeared satisfied that we had opened another path for him. They agreed that our lawyers would contact his lawyers on Monday and that Mrs. Monahan would come to Sydney as soon as the final document was ready for signature. A few more polite words and it was finished: NT was ready for battle!
Since all outsiders had left and Jenny had closed the door, I could embrace Eileen and congratulate her properly. She leaned into me. "This is just money, darling, but the real value for me is that you will come to Brisbane and live here, you and Maureen. And as soon as you'll take over, I can relax and enjoy life!"
There was an impatient cough behind me; Maureen thought that she was worth some attention, too. I turned to her and admired her: dressed in a white blouse and black designer jeans (they did not appear as if she had bought them at Westfield´s) she was the picture of a beautiful young woman ready to bloom. I hugged her and kissed her with all my love, and she felt that even not looking at her all the time, she was the center of my attention wherever she was. Jenny was next: she also wore a white blouse with dark grey jeans certainly bought in the same boutique. Her kiss was different: demurer, but with the same intensity.
I drove us home and Eileen shrieked with surprise when she opened the door: the house was filled with flowers and there were three big banners telling her that she was the most beautiful woman in the world (that one was mine), the best Mom in the world (that one was obvious) and the best friend and teacher in the world. Tears were shed, and only after a while, we managed to go to the sitting room and relax. Dom Perignon was waiting for us in a cooler, and the first drinks were toasts for her birthday, then for the future success of NT. Finally, we agreed to change and discuss what to do tonight and tomorrow: that was Eileen´s night at the Business Event. Maureen said at the last moment: "No t-shirts, please!"
It was easy for me to choose nice, almost formal shirt and white trousers, but the ladies needed much more time. I left for the sitting room to get another drink and Jenny was the first to appear. All I could say was "Wow!" She had selected a long slinky white gown, with a décolleté that almost left her breasts completely exposed; I wondered what would happen if she bent forward and intended to test this, and a slit on her left side that showed her long leg to well over her hips. Then Maureen appeared; she had selected the same gown, only in light blue and her décolleté did not cover her nipples completely. Jenny had one look at her and pushed her gown down a bit and now she offered the same view to me! Both had the opal pendants showing off her proud breasts. It was a pleasure, to say the least. Maureen had brought our presents and we waited for Eileen.
When she entered the room, we all just stared at her. She had selected a light beige gauze gown, the exact color of her skin. Normally, I would have thought this to be very dangerous, but in her case, the long gown was following her body closely, and in certain places, it was difficult to separate gown from her body. Her hair came tumbling down to her shoulder, her breasts were almost completely exposed in a deep décolleté, with embroidery covering her areolae and her pussy and almost hiding them, a long slit at her side showed her tanned legs when she stepped into the room and a sexy tulle tail sweeping behind her. She smiled satisfied with the reaction she had caused in us and sat beside me.
Maureen licked her lips. "Mom, you are gorgeous!" and Jenny added "I agree with James: the most beautiful woman in the world."
Eileen turned to me. "Well, kiss the most beautiful woman in the world!" and I did with great gusto. Maureen used the opportunity when Eileen had her eyes closed, to place our presents before her. Eileen enjoyed the attention and when my hand slowly crept down to hold her breast, she murmured "James, wherever and as often..."
Maureen protested. "Mom, you said 24 hour, and they have passed."
Eileen sighed. "Well, you are right, unfortunately. May I give him an extension of another 24 hours? After all, it's my birthday!"
They both yelled: "Motion denied!"
She came back to reality, but not before pressing my hand once more on her breast. Then she saw the two boxes, one big one and a small one. She looked at us and I pointed to the big one. She got up to unwrap it and when she bent down, her breasts slipped out of her gown.
"Mom, this is unfair: if you don´t cover yourself, we will do the same!"
