This is an extension story from Indecent Proposal, a fairly traditional story line for this category. The story is identical to the original until Mark leaves the island and then takes a different twist with more, sex and revenge elements and less realism (it is a fantasy site after all). Thanks for the comments, unfortunately I don't have time to work with editors, honestly I do multiple spell checks and proof reads but bound to miss some, if that bothers you too much think about moving on to another story. Thanks.
My wife and I work at the same marketing firm. Lucy is a client relationship ambassador, don't ask... I'm still not sure what her job is other that schmoozing customers. I'm Mark and head up the IT teams.
Things were going really well for us, employed, happy, well through the house renovations on our 'doer upper' and two great kids, Emma 13 and Daniel 11. We lived near our families and had a close knit group of friends.
We're both in our mid 30's and a good match for each other although she wins hands down in the looks department. She's 5ft 9 with long blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. Lucy claims some family heritage back in Sweden and has that leggy Scandinavian look about her. She is bright and vivacious and never seems to stand still. I'm 3 inches taller with sandy hair, I prefer endurance sports such as cycling and running so have slim build, I'm physically fit just not in a showy gym way.
I was surprised to be invited to a long weekend on a private island owned by one of our firm's clients. Jack Edwards our Chief Executive explained that he and his wife Margaret were going along with John Cousins the Finance Director and his wife Beverly and Peter Johnstone the Commercial Director with his wife Janet. Lucy had been asked as she was the client's primary point of contact. It sounded like I was there to make up the numbers, but hey 'never look a gift horse in the mouth'. Jack went on to explain the client was filthy rich and easily our firm's biggest customer, we'd go early Friday and return Monday on a private charter and everything would be provided for us.
Lucy knew all about it when I mentioned it on the drive home. She'd been working with the client for months, seemed very impressed and was looking forward to the freebie weekend. I quizzed her about the weekend but she didn't seem to know much, so I asked her about the client. Lucy explained he was William Fellows and guessed he was late 40's, good looking, oozed confidence and had inherited a family fortune. She seemed a little smitten describing him as powerful and controlled amongst other things. Great I thought to myself, he sounds like a right arrogant prick, but maybe I'd keep that observation to myself until after the weekend.
Two weeks later found us in a private charter plane on Friday morning. I've got to say I was impressed, if the island was all his he must be absolutely loaded. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it seemed huge, maybe 5 miles long and a couple wide from what we could see when coming in to land. It looked like a 5 star resort, with the main buildings sitting behind a white sandy bay which formed a perfect crescent. Lucy was beyond excited and the rest of us weren't far behind her.
We were shown our rooms and then on to meet our host for lunch on a veranda overlooking the bay. I wanted to hate him but William seemed like a reasonable guy. If anything Lucy had down played his looks, he had a bit of a George Clooney vibe about him. He thanked us all for coming and said to make ourselves totally at home. We chatted with the other three couples from our firm and met a stunning brunette called Charlotte who I assumed was William's date for the weekend.
Other than serving staff, the only other guy there looked like security and hovered in the background without being introduced. I started wondering if William had the sort of enemies that still required security on a deserted island.
William greeted Lucy as an old friend and they looked very comfortable in each other's company. She and the others seemed to defer to most of the things he said; its natural I supposed, seeing as he was an extraordinarily generous host and their most valuable client.
We had a great afternoon, snorkelling, paddle boarding and generally messing about in the bay. There was a constant supply of free drinks and food; later we enjoyed an evening meal with everyone in the group. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and we mingled in small groups. Charlotte came up and introduced herself to us; she was lovely and talked about growing up in England. I got the impression she was from a family with money but she seemed a genuinely nice person. I wondered if she was a model or maybe didn't need to work. To my surprise she was quite flirty even in front of Lucy; I managed to brush it off politely just putting it down to over friendliness.
Being pampered, no kids, time to relax and an idyllic location was the ideal setting to enjoy a romantic night. Lucy was particularly amorous, our love making was intense and she repeatedly declared her love for me. It was the best night we'd had in a long time, maybe there was something to this love island idea after all. I hoped for a repeat the next morning but Lucy was quickly showered and keen to get to breakfast. I eventually managed to drag my butt out of bed and caught up whilst she was in conversation with Jack and William; I wondered if it was work as both Jack and Lucy looked a little tense. Maybe William was using the weekend to push them on something work related. The conversation broke up when I arrived and after a quick bite to eat we went on to enjoy another great day by the pool with the others.
We went to dinner on the Saturday and I noticed Lucy got more dressed up; she looked stunning in a red satin evening dress and strappy heels. After dinner William asked if we could spare him a few minutes; we agreed and followed him to the study with the security guy trailing us. William sat in a high backed leather chair whilst I sat on the couch opposite with Lucy, noticing that she sat a little away from me.
After a long pause, William began speaking, "I have a proposal for you Mark, it's of a personal nature."
"Ok", I managed brilliantly as a response despite being totally bemused.
William went on, "I've had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Lucy over these last few months and it's been an absolute delight. We get on fantastically well and have built up a great relationship."
He paused perhaps waiting for a reaction for me, but I had no idea where this was going, although the word relationship had me feeling a little uneasy.
He continued casually, "As a result I have a proposal; I would like to spend the rest of the weekend with Lucy. Of course I am more than happy to recompense for the time she would have spent with you, and to that end I intend to transfer Β£100,000 to your joint account."
I started laughing, this had to be a joke and I could resist jibing, "Well William it seems you're being a bit of skinflint, didn't Robert Redford offer $1million for Demi Moore."
No one else laughed!
William went on, "Like all arrangements I'm more than willing to negotiate the price to get what I want. In additional Charlotte would be at a loose end and I would be delighted if you would be willing to entertain her."
I turned to Lucy expecting her to be smiling but she just looked concerned. "It's not a joke Mark, William has asked me to join him and I think we should seriously consider the offer."
I wanted to punch him, when I looked back the security guy was closer, I wondered how he managed that, I didn't even see him move.
William kept talking, "I can assure you, you wife is fully supportive of the idea. Where is the harm, we will all have a wonderful time and you will take away a significant sum of money."
I looked back to Lucy, "Maybe the price difference is because Demi Moore was reluctant."
Lucy flinched at that remark but had the sense not to reply. I was trying desperately to think, but had to focus on my breathing which was becoming a struggle.
I looked at the security guy, his demeanour had completely changed. He looked alert and focused on my movements and with good cause as I really really wanted to punch William in his smarmy face.
"What's your name... ex-military by the look of you, does he pull this shit often?"
"Shane sir and I can't comment on the matter."
