Building a Risky Business
After the excitement of launching Western Investors, and the grand celebration in Denver, a dose of down to earth hard work was needed. I was astonished by the way everyone chewed through difficult assignments and put in long hours without complaint.
Most evenings, Ellen got everyone on speaker phone who wasn't traveling or entertaining customers or other chores. After work talk, the young ones taunted me over their lack of loving, asking if they had been hired under false pretenses. I threatened flogging and other indecencies. The older ones winked and feinted and smiled that they understood Lucas was trying to turn down the sex meter a bit.
Lyn and Mely were constant bed companions, wrestling with each other and asking when the ski conditioning facility was going to be ready. One evening, they ganged up on me and said, "Toni is going crazy in Denver. Wants to know when she gets a visit to Steamboat."
Chapter 14 - A Job for Toni
I smiled and waved my hand in the air. "I suppose she could jump in that rattletrap of a car and drive some weekend on her own time..."
They smothered me. "Lucas, that is not an approved answer and you know it. She has lots of talent and a body to die for. Aren't you lusting even a little for her?"
I pulled them to my chest. "I was warned strictly to stay away. Is there another tune now?"
Their fingers were squeezing and pinching my erection. "There will be severe penalties if you do not treat her as the woman she is. We have needs, as if you didn't know!"
"I give. But find something special for her to do here that justifies flying her out. Something work related, not play related!"
Pleading with me on behalf of Toni had turned them on. Two mouths descending alternately on my throbbing cock were about to produce a fountain. Knowing that Mely would slap me around anyway, I firmly drew Lyn's shapely rear close and speared into her hot and wet sex. "Ooh, Lucas, that is needed. More and harder."
The next thing I knew, Amelia's glistening crotch was centered under Lyn's tongue, which was applying aggressive treatment.
I asked the architect, "How is the new house design coming.?
"Bastard, shut up and fuck."
Mely was laughing like crazy. "I just love the two of you when you get going. You have so much fun!"
Lyn lifted her head, saying, "I'll fun you," and stabbed two fingers as far inside as she could.
Watching the two of them sent me right over the top and I blasted away inside the twisting howling body of our best skier.
They lay across me, kissing and catching their breath. My hands worked their scalp and other places. "Is that enough to let me tend to Toni without a lot of byplay?"
They took turns stuffing their tongues in my mouth and frowning, "She needs protection. We will observe."
They broke up laughing and I applied swats to hard asses that were going to lead me down the hill in ten weeks or so.
In the morning, we were snuggled tight. Watching the sun infiltrate the trees just outside the window, we talked about the day. C-M was in Nampa, doing the last few tweaks of our backup site to allow real time encrypted control of the mirrored servers. Ellen, Rya, Kathleen and Toni were in Denver putting on an investment seminar for potential new investors. Everything, including food and hotel, was on WIL, but the attendees had all been checked and doublechecked for ability to invest at least ten million.
Just as Lyn went to fix coffee, my phone chimed. It was anonymous. I answered cautiously, "Yes?"
"Lucas, I need to talk to you for just a moment. Are you alone?"
It was Toni. I looked at Mely, who nodded that yes, I was alone.
I took a deep guilty breath and said, "Yes. What's up?"
"Last night, my sister called and said I was to fly to Steamboat this afternoon. That something has come up and I am needed there. She wouldn't say any more and hung up. Do you know what is going on? Mely can be very bad sometimes."
I softened my voice into its softest, most reassuring tones. "Toni, I haven't a clue, but come ahead. If she tries anything, I am here and we will give her something to think about."
"Oh, thank you. Thank you. See you soon."
Amelia had me in a death grip. "What are you going to do with my poor innocent sister?"
She giggled and bit my ear. I was about to have her over my knee when Lyn returned with a tray.
"Who was on the phone?"
"You two are in trouble. I thought Toni and I were getting a few private moments?"
I sipped my coffee and glared at them.
"We are sorry. But you did tell us to get her here."
Lyn climbed out. "I'm meeting Richard and some subcontractors at the house in half an hour. The two of you will have to settle this."
I chewed on croissant and thought of punishment for the older sister. "I should hang you upside down from that rafter."
"I thought you loved me. I thought I was your special woman."
"I do and you are. Why are Toni and I so complicated?"
The tray went on the floor and Mely climbed tightly into my arms. "I'm just a silly twit. Ever since she was a little girl and our parents broke up, I've been the Mommy substitute. I'm lying here knowing you will be tender and loving with her like you are with me and the others, and I'm still worried!"
"Guess what? I've decided I want sex with two sisters at the same time. Two hot sisters. When I make a move on both of you, I want a lot of complaint. You will call me a pompous, conceited ass, and who do I think I am trying to have both of you at once.
"Then she discovers you are naked, and helping me strip her clothes off. She screams you are not supposed to be around, but suddenly she is speared by a big cock, and goes wild. You go wild too, accusing her of stealing me, and you won't stand for it."
Her tongue licked me. "Really? You are going to do a total number on the Sebasco sisters? Slap us around? Give us multiple orgasms?"
I whispered in her ear, "Even talking about it is making me hot and horny."
Her hand was pulling me out of the bed and to the shower. "No sex until we make some money for the company. And you have to cook up a story about why she is here. A story that does not involve sex."
I had already decided that Toni would be in charge of the workout and conditioning room, and that it had to be in the B&B, because many of the guests would need a tuneup, or worse, before heading to the slopes.
After setting Mely up with instructions about some market movers to watch and ride coattails with, I headed over to the Victorian house. The remodeling was about half done, which meant a terrible mess everywhere. Richard and Lyn were in the project office, behind a closed door that kept some of the dust out.
"Hi, I'm here to talk about the workout room. Where did we leave that idea?"
"Lucas, the basement is best. It doesn't need windows, and there is noise from the equipment. Do you want to see the space?"
We trooped downstairs, where a lot of banging was going on as new utilities were installed. Lyn vaguely waved her arms, which was just what I wanted.
"You and Richard are busy managing the project and the subcontractors. What if I assign our talented newest employee to the design and execution of the workout space? She is dying for an excuse to get away from Denver and join us for long weekends."
Richard smirked at me, and Lyn shouted, "You are evil!"
As Richard watched, Lyn stepped into my arms with a hot kiss. "Yes, it will be fine. She is a grown up girl and wants you."
I left before I got in any more trouble. The project was on our impossible fast track schedule and might even be ready for Thanksgiving customers, assuming there was snow. Actually, with C-M's fancy menu idea, we didn't even need snow to open for guests. Perhaps we could use the Thanksgiving holiday as a shakedown cruise. There were bound to be gremlins in the system.
In the back room, Amelia was intent on watching several windows with flashing lights. "There was a late selloff in Europe and our markets are down. Some of these numbers are within our buy targets. How much do you want to commit?"
I watched over her shoulder for a few minutes. It looked as though the broad market might lose as much as one percent in the last hour. Oil was down on the latest inventory report, and institutional funds with risk averse triggers were getting out. This was automated selling that was silly. There were no fundamentals on the table.
"Let's wait until the last fifteen minutes, or until selling turns to buying, and see if we can put twenty million into our highest priority targets."
I noticed on the clock it was eighteen minutes from closing when the first large buy order appeared. "Now," I shouted at Mely, and picked up the phone to our margin guy to warn him how much we were prepared to commit.
"Thanks for the update, Lucas, gotta go."
An hour later, we were giggling and hanging on each other when Toni and Claire walked in. We rushed them for hugs and kisses.
Toni wanted to know, "What was all that hugging when we walked in?"
Mely waved her arms, saying, "Just another afternoon with Adam Lucas, throwing twenty million at the stock market!"
She looked shocked. "Right here, in this little room, you were playing with twenty million?"
Mely sagged in my arms. "Oh god, Lucas, we've never caught a turn like that before. I am so excited!"
"Run a quick tape on the closing numbers and see where we are."
Claire showed Toni to the bedroom. "There are two bedrooms, but the other one doesn't get much use."
I walked to the kitchen and found a cold bottle of champagne to open. When I got to the bedroom, the two sisters were sprawled out, lying on each other and whispering sister talk. Claire had gone to find Richard and come back with takeout dinner.
The women sat up and I handed out glasses of bubbly. Amelia said, "We have to get Denver on the line!"
I said, "Hang on, we don't want loose talk at the seminar. We'll tell them later tonight."
