Chapter Two
My Nemesis
Morgan Thaler. He had been my nemesis ever since I took the Thoman job. Always dismissive of me whenever we had run into each other, I wondered how he would treat me knowing that I had taken what he thought was his. I had seen him in the gym often with his sales team. He had always had a great body and looked like he was packing. But whereas many would probably say he was drop-dead gorgeous, there was something about his face that prevented me from thinking of him as "sexy." My tastes are particular and he would not be one that had me dreaming at night. Body contact with him would certainly get me to rise to the occasion, but he was not one that I could lust after, for some reason.
Exactly two days after Jim quit, I was approached by Morgan. I could see the glint in his eye as he walked up to me in the gym. I was alarmed at his rather direct approach.
"Evening, Tim. Congratulations on landing Ansaldi and costing me my top salesman all in one move. Slick. Adelman explained to me how this all happened. Hell, had I known that you were up for it this whole time, I would have finished you off myself and sent you packing long ago. You are a hot little number. I would be more than happy to put an end to Tim Hendersen strutting around this gym and glaring at me and my guys like we are intruders here. If the game is Top Cock, I am ready for you. But understand the stakes will be high."
He was flexing his chest during his opening verbal move. He knew I could not help but notice the roll of his pecs under his tank top. His shoulders and arms looked strong. He was at least two inches taller than me and clearly outweighed me. His legs were hidden under track pants, as usual. He looked like he had always been an athlete and his stance and proximity to me made it clear to anyone who cared to look that he was either threatening or challenging me in some way.
Mastering my urge to just turn and walk away, I managed a smirk and a quick "Be very careful, Morgan. Think about this some more. I will contact you tomorrow morning. If you have not re-thought your invitation, we will set the conditions and the time then." I was not done yet, though. I needed to know something..."Are you not yet old enough to know when to respect your elders?"
"38 is old enough to know when they do not merit respect. I hear about how you are in incredible shape for your age and how great you look for the mid-40's. So what? The way I see it, I will do everyone in this gym a favor by adjusting your attitude, Tim. Talk to you tomorrow." I turned around abruptly so that he could not see that I was already sporting a semi. I left the gym without changing wondering what the hell I had been missing in the gym this whole time.
The next morning as I settled into my office, the call was made and he offered his conditions: The time would be over lunch that very day. The first to come would lose and the winner would cream the loser cock. The loser would give up Ansaldi. Quite simple, really. Since I held Ansaldi, he obviously thought there was only one outcome here. I accepted and added that the loser would verbally let it be known by simply saying "I submit." I knew he was in for it and I like verbal domination. He chuckled over the phone and agreed.
It was clear that losing the Ansaldi account could break Morgan's back professionally. He knew once I gained the leading market position for Thoman, I would ruthlessly exploit it and there would be no stopping us. So, he needed to get this handled immediately.
I arrived promptly at the private gym just outside the city that he apparently rented for some reason or other. The room was padded in black on the floor and the walls. I would say it was 10 x 10 with a a light in each corner mounted on the floor and pointed to the white ceiling. Strange to have such lighting in a room obviously designed for brawling of some sort.
As I enter he is already in the room and removing his tie. I can smell a combination of after shave and slightly sweaty dress shoes. If he only knew that the smell of his feet might make me hard, he might make short work of me, so I do nothing but stare at him while I disrobe. As he finishes and starts unbuttoning his shirt, he approaches me while I am doing the same. I was expecting some taunting as he smiled and began: "Interesting that we finally have time away from the others under these circumstances. I have always thought you rather eye-catching. Your chest is impressive and you look like you can handle yourself. I have often imagined a bout with you, but I did not want you to know that. I have imagined pinning you and then submitting you and the look in your eyes when you gave in to me and how you would look at me after that from then on."
He was either plain stupid or way overconfident or both. Knowledge is power and the knowledge that he had wanted me had the power of a bunker buster. Game on, fool.
"Unfortunately, I have never thought you worthy, Morgan, so it never crossed my mind. Nevertheless, my hard will take yours down and I will really enjoy mounting you. While you moan beneath me, I may even slip my tongue in and pin your tongue to the roof of your mouth, so you can taste a real man."
