Monday found Cassie back at the agency catching up on her messages, and day ended well with the echoes of her 'interviews' at Atherton lingering in her mind along with the waning tenderness in her sex.
"Hi Cassie," a voice hailed her and she looked up to see Lisa waiting by the elevator. "Busy day?" the woman queried with friendly smile.
Lisa was printing production coordinator and all the agency's campaigns passed through her hands. "Yup, looks like we might have lots more work for you soon." Cassie nodded. "I think you'll find this job pretty interesting," she finished with a chuckle.
"Is it the Bubbles Account?" Lisa asked as they stepped into the elevator.
Cassie nodded catching the sudden gleam of interest lighting the woman's pretty face and they chatted while the elevator carried them down to the front lobby. She saw Lisa every day and had found her friendly and very helpful. When they reached the street Cassie saw that Lisa's husband was waiting in the car by the curb and she vaguely remembered him from the last office Christmas party. He leaned out of the car window and waved at them.
"Would you like a lift home, Cassie?" Lisa volunteered. "We go right by your place."
"That would be very nice," Cassie smiled. "You remember Cassie don't you, Jeff?" Lisa asked.
"Sure do," the fellow responded warmly holding out his hand. Cassie gave it a quick shake as she settled beside him. In a moment Lisa had dropped into the seat beside her, and Cassie found her own diminutive stature sandwiched snugly between them.
He was a good-looking fellow of average height with an athletic body that spoke of regular hours in the gym. They were a well-matched couple, his dark tan complementing Lisa's blonde beauty, the pleasant scent of her perfume mingling with Jeff's cologne when the car sped out into the evening traffic.
Jeff leaned confidentially closer to Cassie. "You've made a real impression on Lisa," he grinned.
"On me?" Lisa grinned back. "What about you?"
"Thanks. I guess?" Cassie questioned, glancing uncertainly from one to the other. A sudden silence descended for a brief moment.
"Should I tell her?" Lisa said, a quick flush lighting her cheeks.
Jeff glanced across at them. "We've been talking about you, Cassie."
"Really? You hardly know me, Jeff."
"Well. Yes and no. We know more about you than you might think."
"Like what?" Cassie queried uneasily, a sudden suspense filling her.
"Well," Lisa interposed, "I know this guy who's a model. And you know him too, and he showed me some pics with you in them. In fact he gave them to me."
Cassie's mouth went dry and she looked sharply at Lisa as she gasped, "David...?" Lisa nodded. "Oh my God!" Cassie moaned.
"Don't worry," Lisa offered comfortingly. "You can have your pictures back."
"When?" Cassie sighed.
"Right now if you want them. We can stop at our place and get them."
"Yes," Cassie said firmly. "I want them."
"Hey girls," Jeff moaned. "You're taking the joy out of my life."
"Just how much joy do my pics add to your life?" Cassie stammered.
"Lots!" he returned emphatically.
Cassie shook her head helplessly. Heavens knows what David had given them. She could barely bring herself to contemplate the possibilities.
"It was a mistake," Lisa explained. "You see Jeff and I have a little business on the side. I do production work on erotic graphics for the porn market and David wanted me to print handouts of you and him for his portfolio. As soon as I saw your pics I told him that I wouldn't do it, but I didn't return the pics to him. So we've still got them."
"And you've been looking at them," Cassie finished unhappily.
"Yeah," Jeff put in. "You're gorgeous Cassie. You've got a real future in the porn business if you ever need it."
"If those pics ever get out I will need it," she sighed. "Do I have any secrets left?"
"You can tell us when you see them," Jeff chuckled. "You're secrets are safe with us," Lisa said firmly and patted Cassie's damp hand. "We don't kiss and tell."
"But I'm gonna miss those pics," Jeff muttered unhappily.
"Well you can just fantasize about them," Lisa replied. "I have a short memory."
"No you don't. You talk about Cassie all the time."
"I can imagine," Cassie groaned glancing over at him.
"No you can't," Lisa laughed.
Jeff shrugged. "Well a little bedroom fantasy doesn't hurt anything."
"He even talks about you when we have sex," Lisa exclaimed.
"I'll bet that makes you feel good," Cassie muttered.
"Well, as a matter of fact..." Lisa paused and threw an amused glance at Jeff. "It does make me feel good and we've both wondered what it would be like...?"
"What would 'what' be like?" Cassie intoned breathlessly.
"If we were in those pictures with you! There I've said it," Lisa announced triumphantly throwing another glance at Jeff. "He's been after me to proposition you ever since he saw you at the Christmas party. And after he saw your pics he's been impossible." "Tell you what, Cassie. I can't imagine life without your pictures, but you can have them back if you'll humor us," Jeff offered grandly.
"Humor you?" Cassie stuttered in dismay.
"Yeah. You know. Like a threesome?" Jeff questioned with a sidelong smile at her as he eased the car to a stop before what must be their apartment building.
"A threesome!" Cassie laughed nervously darting an incredulous glance at Lisa.
"I'm game," the girl answered simply. "Actually, I like the idea."
"What!" Cassie exclaimed. "You guys must be crazy."
"I think you'd love it," Jeff pursued.
"Oh yeah," Cassie exclaimed "like I'm going to jump right into bed with you!"
"Well come on in anyhow and get your pics," Lisa urged opening the door and extending her hand to Cassie.
The elevator ride up was a silent one. Cassie stood between them feeling her heart tick in nervous beats while stealing a careful look at Jeff. He was presentable enough, good looking in his athletic way, probably a stud really. She hadn't guessed that Lisa was into sex this way, but now that she knew it more or less added up. The woman was certainly beautiful enough to make any man look twice at her, and with that long blonde hair and voluptous body she was no doubt a thrill for her husband or any man.
But they couldn't be really serious about a threesome. And if she did it would they really let her have all her pictures back? The masturbating nudes were bad enough and she certainly didn't want pics of herself with David and Bart circulating around the office or any other place.
The lift coasted silently to a stop and the door slid back on a large vestibule. Jeff gestured politely to the door at the far end, they paced silently out, and in a moment they were in the apartment.
"How about a drink?" Jeff smiled and stepped briskly to the sideboard.
"I'll pass," Cassie murmured with a glance at Lisa.
"The usual, Honey," Lisa intoned. "Sit down Cassie, I'll be back in a minute."
Cassie slid onto the sofa, a soft ample heavily cushioned affair and watched Jeff. He poured, stirred, the ice tinkled in the glasses, and when he came to her there were three glasses on the tray.
"I know you've had a big day, this will cool you out" he said handing her the glass. It was a whiskey sour, and it wasn't light on the booze. She sipped, winced, and lifted her eyebrows, but the libation was welcome after all.
