"Why so cold to Jeremy?" Dalia asked. She was my boss at the Club, and her European curviness was something to behold. No hint of an accent, but I'd heard rumors about Italy. Chocolate brown eyes, silky waves to match. Perfect full lips, and breasts that always threatened to spill from her blouse, but they would never be so unruly. Her every gesture was precise, her wardrobe flawless. I always wondered how she had the time to put herself together like that daily, but I supposed a fetish club owner had to look the part.
"Trick said Jeremy and Aster were hooking up."
"Ah," Dalia looked me deep in the eye, "And would that be a problem for you?"
"No! I just don't want to see Jeremy get his heart ripped out again."
She tipped her head down to say she didn't believe me.
"Seriously. Besides, I'm seeing someone."
"Oh?" she smiled.
"Sort of. Remember that new guy, Gino?"
"I remember Ferdie asked me to extend him the offer of a Membership, and he's only come to one party," she sounded annoyed.
I smiled, "He's interested. He just has to get past some stuff. I'm helping him."
Her mouth cornered into a smirk, "Do you believe starting a relationship with him is the best way to get him here?"
"I do."
"I will defer to your judgement, Lovely Collette, but tread lightly with that one."
"Will do."
"Would he object to you doing the display for Lupercalia?"
I explained, "We're not monogamous. Of course, we'd have to be gamous to be monogamous, but we haven't even done that, yet. Anyway, he doesn't get a vote, and he knows it. He's alright with that."
"So, do you want to do the display?"
"Yes."
Dalia had some paperwork to finish, so I saw myself out. By the front door, Jeremy caught up with me. "What's going on?"
"I'm doing a display. Bye," I grabbed the door knob, but he slammed the door shut. He pinned me to the door with his body but kept his hands on the door, almost like he did a vertical push up on top of me.
"The last time I saw you was New Year's Eve, and I had spent most of the night either fucking your brains out or giving you a proper beating. Where are your manners?" he grinned at me, but I was in no mood if Trick told me the truth.
And I wanted the truth, before I let anything happen, "Where have you been?"
His sea blue eyes narrowed, "Out."
"Bye." I pushed against him, but he held me in place. He smelled like sweaty man goodness, and his forcefulness turned me on. Dammit.
"What's going on with you?"
"How was your tryst with Aster?"
He blanched, so he looked even paler against his black hair, "What?"
"I'm sorry, that must have sounded like, 'How was your disaster", which would also be appropriate. How. Was. Your. Tryst. With. Aster?"
"Let me explain," he was upset.
"You don't owe me any explanation, Jeremy. I just want to go."
"Please."
I liked when he said please. It was the only time he seemed unsure about anything. I relented, "You have one minute."
He nodded once, "Aster was mad at Trick for doing a scene with a girl she hates, and she wanted to get him back. Being the scheming bitch she is, Aster wrote in her diary we were meeting up in Atlanta or something, left the book open on that page, and she begged me to play along. I was golfing with Simon at the Four Seasons in Hawaii anyway, so I said sure. I think I still have about 30 seconds or so, and I'd like to tell you one more thing: your ass looks phenomenal in those little running shorts. I'd be remiss, if I didn't try to kiss you right now."
"Wait, so nothing happened between you two?"
"Nothing more than a phone call, and conversation was unpleasant. But, I thought, what the hell. I could fuck with Trick, do a solid for Aster so maybe she'd stop calling me, and go golfing. Win-win-win. Your hair smells like cherries."
I put my hand on his t-shirt and pulled him to me but stopped short of kissing him. "Do you still want to kiss me?"
"I want to fuck you, but I'll settle for kissing you. For now."
"The girls in Hawaii didn't keep you busy enough?" I smirked.
"You're the last person I fucked, C," he admitted. I got shivers. The only other time he used my initial, in lieu of my name, was New Year's Eve. I kissed him softly, but as I pulled away, I bit his lip. He growled low and said, "Right here. Right now."
Jeremy turned me to face the door, and as he put his fingers in my waistband, I heard, "Guys, a little sensitivity, please. My husband just left for business. Not in the hallway today." Dalia had her hand on her satin robe-covered hip.
We turned to face her. Simultaneously we said, "Sorry, Dalia."
"Thank you," she went back into her office.
"My place?" Jeremy was anxious.
I shook my head. "I think I should go. I'm very wet right now, and I make questionable choices when that's the case."
He growled again, but with no words. He took a big breath, and uttered, "Let me find out if your panty line is absent because you're not wearing any."
"Jer-"
He put his finger up to my lips to silence me. "Let me kiss your stomach and nibble your ribs the way you like."
I sighed, resigned myself to my urges, and sucked on his finger.
"Let me make you glad to be a woman, because you make me very glad to be a man."
I was done arguing with my body. I bit the top of his finger, then said, "Yes."
Jeremy led me through the hallway, ballroom, and terrace. We rounded the Olympic-sized pool and entered his front door on the south wall. He spun to face me and put his arms around my waist, then his hands found my ass. He picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. Then, he carried me to his gray linen sectional couch in the living room. Jeremy stripped my hoodie over my head and kissed my chest. He pushed me back, then kissed my stomach. He nibbled my ribs, licked my navel, and slipped his fingers up my shorts. "No panties! I knew it!"
I giggled at his joy and pulled off his shirt. "Yes, you're very smart. Get back to work."
"You're making demands this time?"
I had to imagine receiving demands was out of his comfort zone. I sat up on my elbows to ask, "Do you need me to be submissive every time?"
"No, I just need you."
"Show me," I breathed deeply, as he stuck a finger into my pussy. He fingered me crudely and took my mouth with his own. I ran my fingers through hair, rounded the back of his head, and scratched his neck.
He growled and bit my lip. He released it, then stared into my eyes as his fingered me. Then, his fingers stopped. They didn't pull out, though. "Collette, I heard you tell Dalia you're seeing someone. Gino. Is it serious?"
"Your fingers would not be in me, if it was serious," I panted.
"If it's not serious, Gino won't mind if I do this," he added a finger. Then he used them together rhythmically against my G spot. My hips trembled.
