'So are you looking forward to the weekend trip?' Clare asked the next morning.
She was sitting in bed, the crisp white sheets covered just up to her navel. She was reading a book on sailing, obviously looking forwards to the weekends yacht trip. The book mostly covered her breasts but I lay and admired her anyway. 'Sure, it will be fun, Pascal and Veronique are good fun to be with. And you can sail too so it should be relaxing for the rest of us.' I commented.
'Clare?' I asked. 'Could they see you last night, in the kitchen?'
'Yes..' she replied sheepishly.
'Well were they watching?'
'Well I think they both glanced over at one time or another.'
'But how could you do all that with them watching?' Prior to this trip Clare had been quite shy, and her new risk taking still surprised me.
'Oh to be honest, it really turned me on, knowing they were able to see me. I probably did more things just to see how far I would go. It has become a bit of an interest, almost an obsession since I first went topless here, I keep thinking about it. How far would I go.'
'Do you think this is a good idea though?' I asked. 'I mean, we will be spending all weekend with them on a boat. How will you feel? Won't you be embarrassed? Think about what they saw.
'Well we have seen them make love too. And I was talking to Veronique yesterday morning and she told me they knew we were there that first evening. She said they thought about coming round then. So maybe they enjoyed being watched too. I mean, she didn't hide much that day they came round with the drinks, she was practically masturbating for you then. '
I was aroused by this news, I had enjoyed watching them, but I was surprised they had known we were watching. I also didn't realise that Clare had seen Veronique rubbing herself that evening on the balcony, I was pleased by her open mindedness towards it.
'Veronique was commenting that there isn't any privacy in these apartments, apologising for always being on the balcony when we are in bed still, so I guess she can see in quite well.' I had been banking on the windows reflecting back the sky, but it seemed I might be wrong.
I got up and went to shower, walking naked across in front of the window, semi erect, I wondered if they could see me now.
In the shower I started to think about work. I was still worried that there might be some issues from the latest Raskolovics deal, and I considered whether I had done the right thing in OKing it.
I got into the office at the usual time; there was already an email from the senior money laundering compliance officer requesting a conference call about the Raskolovics deal. My worst fears were coming true.
Pascal came in and I told him the situation. 'Don't worry about it.' he said. 'These compliance people are all bluster, they don't have real power. We are bringing in the cash and for a bank that is all that matters.'
I hoped he was right.
Just then Isabelle came in and I looked up to see what delight she was wearing today. Never one to disappoint, she was in a black suit, skirt slit high up her thigh, but with no blouse under the jacket. The neckline was generally decent showing just a hint of breast, but whenever she turned or leant forwards, the jacket came forward revealing her bra. The bra itself was a thin black sheer mesh, under wired and her nipple was regularly visible as she opened her case to retrieve some new documents. On the bra there was a pretty black bow in the centre portion between her small breasts that kept on catching my eye.
I no longer pretended to look away as she flashed at me, she knew I would look at her and I no longer saw any reason to hide it. I didn't ask her to dress so provocatively but ceased to see any reason to hide the fact I liked to look at her.
'The Raskolovics have a new payment that they want to deposit here for a new apartment block they are funding.'
My heart dropped again, I was still dealing with the fallout from their last payment, now there was to be a new one. I figured that I would probably have to get clearance from the top to clear another deal so soon.
She leant forwards to hand me a copy of the proposed payments. The thin black strap of her bra had slipped off one shoulder and it pulled the material down revealing a greater shot of her pert breasts. She held her position over the desk as I looked down her exposed chest.
I took the documents and tried to concentrate on them. One line jumped out at me. In addition to 10 million euros transferring electronically there was to be a five million euro cash deposit. This was highly irregular and would set alarm bells ringing even louder.
'Isabelle, what the hell is this cash payment; we are not that kind of bank. We do investments, bonds, fx, not cash handling.' I exclaimed.
'Oh come on William' she sat back, crossed her legs and flashed some black lace knickers at me.
'There is a 1 percent cash handling fee. That is 50000 euros for your trouble. They have the cash coming in by boat and this is their bank here. You can sort it out surely.'
'Isabelle it is not as simple as that, I have people checking what I do. I could be sacked if I don't follow the correct procedures.'
'William, you need to understand what kind of people the Raskolovics are. They can be very persuasive, it could be good for you.' She casually undid the top button of her jacket revealing all her chest down to the bow in the middle of her bra.
'I know because my brother got in debt to them at the casino. '
I hadn't known they owned the casino but I guess it made sense now.
'They put pressure on him until eventually taking me on as part payment, but you cannot afford to say no, believe me.' She undid another button leaving just one holding the jacket closed. I was glad she had her back to the door so she wouldn't be seen if someone looked in.
'You need to think about what you can do locally to make this happen.' She continued, her finger moving to the final button. 'Do you really need to involve the others in London?' She undid the button and the jacket fell open, her pert nipples pushing at the black lace fabric.
'I mean you are the hotshot from London, come down to manage the deal.' Her hand ran over to cup of one of her breasts. 'Surely you have some local decision making powers, independent from head office.' She took hold of the thin black silky cord of the bow between her breasts and slowly started to pull it.
'If you can make this deal come off then, they will be extremely generous in their praise, and really the sky would be the limit in terms of client entertainment they could offer you.' The bow came undone and the two cups of the bra fell away from her tits, the two nipples were pointing high up into the air, highly aroused.
I realised that I should have stopped her really but I was entranced by the way she had casually disrobed in front of me as if were normal business practice. I wondered what the Raskolovics had done to her brother to motivate her so well to seduce me.
'Isabelle,' I replied.' You are a beautiful woman, and I find you almost irresistible, but you have met Clare, you must know we are in love. I don't need an affair with you.'
'And you need to know that if this deal goes through their gratitude would be generous. I am sure there are things Clare wont do for you.' She stood up, raised her skirt to her waist and slipped down her knickers, placing them on the desk, just in front of me, Letting her skirt fall back down. 'There would be no limits with me and as many other girls as you want.'
She sat down, her legs apart, her fully shaven pussy clearly on view.
'Isabelle, that kind of thing isn't my style. Especially knowing you are doing this under duress to help your brother. I am not going to fuck you, and I cant put the bank at risk just to get a quick bonk.' The idea was attractive but my loyalty to Clare was clear in my mind.
'Oh in your case William, it really would not be under duress. I really would like to.' She came up to me. Standing up, her breasts came to the level of my head. She brushed one of her nipples against my cheek. I had been aroused for some time but this sudden physical contact woke me from my dream.
'Look I will consider the situation over the weekend, but you can tell the Raskolovics that this is highly irregular and I dont think we can do it.'
'Oh well William, your loss' she replied. 'I am sure they will find another way to persuade you'. She did up her jacket and walked out.
I picked up her knickers from the desk after she had gone. I could smell her aroused pussy on them. They were wet with the juices from her sex. Perhaps she was telling the truth, perhaps she really wanted me. No matter either way.
I was concerned though about her comments about their powers of persuasion. I saw how they had motivated her and wondered exactly where they drew the limits. I wondered if I should call the banks security people, whether I was in physical danger if I said no.
The afternoon passed slowly, as I considered my options. Was it possible to keep the Raskolovics sweet while keeping the bank happy? Could I just keep the cash transaction a local thing? Should I even if I could.
I got home at six. Clare was reading on the sofa in the lounge in a pretty white sundress. As had become her norm, she looked like she was wearing only a g-string underneath and her breasts were clear through the thin linen.
'Hi darling.' she got up and kissed me. 'I have been waiting for you to get home.' I wondered why, but first changed into some shorts. I returned to the lounge and sat down next to her. I talked through the day, and told her about the new deal. She was a little interested but wasn't really one for financial decisions.
