I lay on the hot sand of the beach, feeling baked and exposed. A wet towel wrapped around my face as a blindfold.
This was only one of my boss's crazy schemes, but I was fine with it. Partly because I depended on him for my income, and partly because he was a disarming bastard.
I still wondered why he didn't fuck me again after our first "meet and greet." My insecure side thought that he just didn't find me attractive. But despite his shining veneer of coolness and confidence, he did sometimes reveal a glint of lust in his eyes.
To be fair, Liam Finch gave lustful glances to many of his other employees as well, who all happened to be handsome men, including his secretary, Daniel Milk. I was certain that my boss hooked up with them, frequently, though they never said so out loud. Nevertheless, I felt left out.
So it was all the more puzzling when Liam Finch started using me as "bait."
The first time he suggested it, I was shocked, but he worked his charm.
In a smooth voice, he said, "I know you're scared, but you'll be safe. We won't let any harm come to you." His lips quirked up with another smile. "If you're up for it, I'll double your pay for this week."
That did sound enticing, but I negotiated for him to double my pay for the month instead of just that week. Thankfully, he wasn't mad and agreed readily enough. That made me wonder whether Liam was secretly afraid that I would refuse.
Most of the time, he only wanted me to act as visual bait, to distract and charm our quarry, who were mostly closeted queer men. Occasionally, our target would be a straight or bi woman. I was gay, but I could be a pretty statue for the ladies to stare at.
There were a few times, however, when Liam wanted me to let the stranger grope my body. I was nervous, but I flirted with them until Liam got what he wanted. I didn't even need to suck their dicks, though they clearly wanted me to.
So, a part of me thought that Liam might be protective of me. Maybe he didn't want me to suck anyone's dick but his own.
Until today.
Not only was I instructed to suck the target's cock when he arrived, I would have to go "all the way," too. Liam had looked at me with that beautiful viper gaze, saying that, of course, I could back out if I wanted to.
But Liam knew me too well. I didn't want to disappoint my employer. Plus, he promised to triple my pay for the month.
Before I left for the beach to lure our mark, Daniel stopped me at the door of the Finch office building. He placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and whispered, "Are you sure about this? You're a good kid, and even I think Liam is going too far. I know the bastard can be persuasive, but if you don't feel comfortable doing this, I'll tell him to back off and leave you alone."
I gave him a wan smile. "Maybe it would be fun."
Daniel still looked worried, but thankfully he let me go. The secretary could be quite sweet for a man with so much power, second only to the boss himself. But I didn't need a father figure (or older brother figure?) fussing over me like this.
And so I found myself on the beach, on that perfectly roasted sand. I couldn't wait to be roasted myselfโ--โI wasn't sure if I was being sarcastic or not.
Meanwhile, Kenic Pizo, a man with a loud, rough voice, was deep in debate with Liam Finch. As always, Liam sounded calm, cool, and confident. Kenic, however, became increasingly agitated.
I could hear the smile in my boss's voice. "Don't be so impulsive, Kenic. I'm giving you some friendly advice. Anna Corbin is not the woman you think she is. She's beautiful and talented on the surface, but underneath..."
Kenic cursed.
While my employer schmoozed Anna Corbin's agent and secret admirer, something else happened in the background.
A soft voice whispered in my ear. "Come on, boy. I'll get you to safety."
I made the faintest of nods, and the mysterious stranger picked me up and hauled me away with her.
