After deepthroating Vince and getting off in front of Dev, I was sure Elliott would visit my apartment to finish what we started in the backyard. But Dev must have been serious about his team getting back to work, because even though all three did come up to use my bathroom in the afternoon, they paid me minimal notice. Sure, Vince leered and Dev winked as they passed my bedroom but that was it. Elliott brought my coffee cups back upstairs and washed them in my sink but all the while he ignored me completely. Which only made me more desperate to find a way to please him.
I worried I'd been too easy. Maybe he wanted more of a challenge. Maybe I shouldn't have followed his orders so quickly. Maybe I shouldn't have acted like such a slut.
I decided the best course of action was to ignore what happened too and keep things normal and casual. So, on the next day, the fourth day of their works, I made another round of coffees and made my way downstairs to Adam's apartment. This time, I was better prepared and wore a floor length patterned dress with a modest neckline and long sleeves. I could hardly cover more skin. I also learnt from yesterday and wore a bra and underwear. Okay yes, it was a black lace bra with a matching thong. But still, I swear I had no plans to show off. I just wanted to be prepared. For anything.
When I arrived, the men were all standing around Adam's dining room watching something on Dev's phone. It wasn't until I heard myself moaning through the tiny speaker that I realized it had to be the video Dev took yesterday of me masturbating against my dining table. I froze, already a step inside the apartment, not sure what I should do.
Elliott spotted me first. His dark eyes slowly peered up and met mine over Vince's shoulder. He didn't say anything, he just stared at me.
Another of my moans reverberated from the speaker and Vince and Dev started laughing. Elliott didn't -- he kept staring, goading me to do something. What, I didn't know. But I could feel myself coming undone under that penetrating gaze.
I couldn't take it anymore. I knocked on the open door beside me with one foot to signal my arrival.
Vince turned to me with a huge grin. Dev straightened up and casually, without shame, pocketed his phone.
"Good morning, Sadie," Elliott said politely, as if he'd only just seen me.
"Morning." I walked forward on shaky legs and deposited the tray of coffees on the dining table by the men. "Help yourselves."
Dev laughed as he took one. "Oh, I will."
I waited until Vince and Elliott took theirs as well before taking the last coffee. I sipped it awkwardly in silence, unsure what to do next. It seemed rude to leave immediately.
Vince broke the silence. "Looking for a new table?" he asked, knocking on the one between us. "We don't mind if you need to try this one out."
My cheeks flushed.
"Don't tease her," Dev reprimanded Vince. "You know this is a client's table." He turned to me. "Sorry, sweetie, but I don't think it would be appropriate."
More heat flooded into my face. Dev was apologizing to me as if I couldn't help myself rutting against every single table I came across. It was so demeaning. I should've protested and protected my dignity but I just lowered my eyes like the submissive slut they all knew I was by now and said, "It's okay."
Dev smiled. "That's my girl." He placed his coffee down. "Are you going to give us a hand today?"
I nodded tentatively. "What do you need?"
"A hand around my--" Vince started but Dev cut him off.
"Let's focus on work, Vince." Dev turned back to me. "Have you ever painted before?"
"Yeah, but I'm pretty messy."
"That doesn't matter. We'll just have you do the primer. We'll be painting over it anyway."
I blinked back at Dev. He was really going to put me to work. Painting. It wasn't even sexy. Not that I wanted it to be sexy. But--
"Do you think you can do that for us, Sadie?" Elliott asked sweetly.
His voice was soft but a little condescending, and it made me want to agree to anything. I nodded.
"Great!" Dev said. "We'll get everything ready for you."
Dev headed out to the backyard with Vince trailing behind him, but Elliott stayed, leaning back against the kitchen counter and keeping his eyes glued to me. I noticed the coffee cup in his hand was still full.
"You don't like coffee?" I asked.
He looked down at it impassively, then placed it behind him. "Too sweet."
Damn. I always made my coffee with sugar. I was crushed to have disappointed him. I'd have to get that right for tomorrow. I turned to follow Dev and Vince outside.
"Wait, Sadie."
I turned back.
Elliott's eyes drifted down my body. "You don't want to get your pretty dress dirty."
I looked down at the modest dress I'd chosen. Elliott was right -- it didn't exactly scream painter. And I'd already admitted I was a messy painter.
"Are you going to take it off?" he asked innocently.
His voice was sweet and carefully unassuming. It wasn't an order. He wanted me to make the call. We both knew I could easily go upstairs and find something more appropriate to wear, but I finally had Elliott's attention again and I didn't want to waste it.
I walked around the dining table until I stood in front of him and turned around. "Unzip me?" I asked.
He straightened up, getting closer to me. He placed a hand on the zipper at my neck and left it there, unmoving. He was teasing me. The wait was agony.
"Please," I whispered, and I could practically feel him smirking.
But he acquiesced and finally slid the zipper down, loosening my dress and revealing my back. Then, without further request, he ran his hands over my collarbones, pushing the dress over my shoulders. I shook my arms out of the long sleeves and let the dress fall to my feet.
I was now standing in just a bra and thong with my back to Elliott. He was standing so close, I was sure he could see plenty of cleavage over my shoulder. But I wanted him to see more. I took a step forward first to give him a better view of my ass and then turned around to face him.
He looked me over and frowned.
