"This is going to be the biggest contract in our company's history," Franklin said with a tinge of nervousness. "I have all my faith and confidence in you and your team," he said more confidently to Nick Wallace.
Nick was a new addition to the company having been highly recruited after graduating top of his class from Harvard Business School with an MBA. The man was tall, great-looking, smart, and organized. On top of that, he epitomized thinking out of the box. Just four months after joining the company he proposed expanding into a newly evolving battery technology. This led to a pair of acquisitions and the rapidly growing EV market. Nick proposed meeting with one of the newer but heavily backed EV companies to supply their new technology.
In the back of his mind, he wished one of their more experienced sales engineers were heading up the project but as this was Nick's brainchild he led a team of 8 - all of whom totaled over 200 years of experience...vs. Nick's 223 days with the company.
"We're ready," Nick smiled at the older man. Franklin was the reason he joined AeroDisque Corp. There were better offers with Fortune 500 companies but there was a quality to the man he couldn't put a finger on...charisma didn't cover it, nor did force of personality...perhaps it was raw animal magnetism. Nick had known many powerful figures in his short life but none drew him in as Franklin Armitage did.
"We'll lay out our proposal after the meet and greet. By 1, we should be presenting our proposal," the young man assured the CEO.
"Nick," a woman interjected, "Shephard with Flyte Motors wants to know if it's possible to get a 10% reduction in the net weight of the battery packs," she said, "Or better yet, 15%, their words, not mine."
"Shit!" the young man shook his, head, "That's just a pipe dream for now. I've got the preliminary specs at home and what we've seen is positive. It looks like 20% is a possibility but that's years away. Do they need this today?" he asked Lois.
The brunette nodded, "They just asked for it."
"Fuck!" Nick groaned. "Hang on, I'll call my wife and see if she can grab the folder on my desk."
Franklin shook his head, "Why the fuck did they pop this on us at the last second? Is this a ploy?" He looked out the window as his young associate tried to contact his wife. He wondered what she looked like as he'd not yet met her. Edward told him she was...how did he put it? 'Fucking gorgeous.' He'd been looking forward to the annual company dinner so he could see for himself.
"Crap. I'll head home and grab it," Nick sighed, "she must be out. Today is the farmer's market over on the square," he said. "Bad timing."
"You're needed in the conference room. They'll be here in 20 minutes. Can't you send someone? Hell, give me your keys and tell me where it is," Franklin said. "I need to run over to the package store anyhow. They have something for me."
Nick thought a second and nodded, "That works. No rush, we have," he looked at his phone, "three and a half hours until the actual presentation," Nick sighed. "I'll grab my keys...be back," he said.
Franklin's mind went to checking out photos in their house so he could finally see the rare beauty Edward mentioned. He stood up as Nick returned and handed him his keychain and address.
"It's just 20 minutes away so no hurry," he said, "My office is just off the front hallway on the left. I have a pile of folders on the left side of my desk, the revamped battery spec sheet is on top..yellow."
"I'll go now. I'll be back before noon," Franklin said as he took the keys.

Nick met Melody in his final year at Harvard. Three years younger, the tall shapely blonde was finishing her BA in Education at Harvard and was in the library across the table from him. They were there for over two hours and Nick realized he wasn't absorbing anything and decided to give up trying to study. Just as he was opening the door, he heard small footsteps behind him. He instinctively held it and followed the beautiful blonde out onto the broad set of steps when they both jumped back.
There was a bright flash accompanied by a loud crack of thunder and before either could move, the skies opened up. Nick threw his coat over the girl's head and they hurried down but soon even the jacket was worthless. It wasn't a cold rain and both were soon laughing and just letting the storm soak them.
As they both headed in the same direction, Melody stopped and pointed to a house down the street to their left, "That's me. I'm Melody, Melody Baker by the way," she smiled.
Nick wiped his eyes and nodded, "I'm a good mile that way. Nick Wallace. It was good showering with you," he pointed up the way they'd been heading.
Melody laughed, "We missed doing each other's backs." Then she added, "There's still time." She put a hand over her mouth as she realized what she was suggesting.
Nick felt a rush, "I'm game as long as your water temperature is warmer than this," he said before the woman could take it back.
Neither had ever gotten naked and had sex with another person so soon after meeting them, but it wasn't as if either were saving themselves. As for Nick, he was taken in instantly by the gorgeous girl. She was bright, funny, and an enthusiastic lover...in the shower or on a bed. On top of that, physically she had it all. 5' 9", slender and fit. Her straight blonde hair brushed the top of her butt...her butt that he couldn't keep his hands off. Then there were her tear-drop breasts, full and ultra-sensitive it was as if she could cum simply by playing with her nipples.
Melody was taken by the young man's maturity, his drive...both for school and his sex drive. He didn't have the largest cock but was far from the smallest she'd had but he had the most skilled tongue. He had a decent sense of humor but it was his seriousness that drew her. She'd been thinking about life after college and needed a change. She needed someone she could depend on which wouldn't describe most of her ex-boyfriends.
That day after making love in the shower, they had sex eight more times before they had to get to classes in the morning. At breakfast, Nick suggested she move in with him as he had a larger place and she instantly agreed.
Both Nick and Melody had many lovers and broken hearts and had their hearts broken. By agreement, neither discussed previous relationships, unless, by chance, they encountered them. It was more often that they ran into one of Melody's exes than one of Nick's. Nick was struck by how different he felt he was from them. Most seemed to be coasting through life looking for a good time. Six months later, Nick proposed and 3 months after that, they were married.

Melody pushed the vacuum while swaying to the music playing through her headphones. She loved cleaning the house in the nude and often stripped naked as soon as Nick headed off to work. She never told him she liked to do housework naked since he'd most likely not leave for work. And today was a big day for him. For her, today was changing the sheets, vacuuming, the farmer's market, and laundry day. She'd been trying to use her teaching degree but was only able to find substitute jobs so far. Those were unsatisfying as these were not her kids or her lesson plans, and often she found herself struggling to maintain the kids' focus. She soon discovered that wearing what she considered comfortable was a distraction to the students...the male students, and the male teachers...but that seemed to just make her dress even more provocatively. On the other hand, she was a lot hornier with Nick after she could feel the boy's eyes on her all day.
Franklin knocked not expecting an answer but waited anyhow. It would not do to break in if Melody Wallace were at home. Hearing no tell-tale footsteps he put the key in the lock and opened the door. He saw an immaculate house, simply but elegantly furnished. He found the office and the file and just as he touched it he heard the sound of the vacuum and a woman singing.
She rolled out the vacuum and plugged it in. Just as she started it up the song Ruby Tuesday came on by The Coors. As great as the Stones' original version was, hearing Andrea Corr's clear voice perfectly cover this great song caused her to shut off the vacuum and dance around the living room. Her slender body writhed, her hips swinging, large breasts swaying to the music. She felt wonderfully free with her bare feet tapping out the rhythm, her long blonde hair brushing against her lower back. Something was arousing about her soft hair tickling her ass. Melody couldn't help herself. She put back her head and sang loudly,
"Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still, I'm going to miss you."
Franklin's breath caught in his throat as he realized Nick's wife was home and she was just down the hall. Then he felt a rush hearing that voice...so clear, so perfectly in tune. He had to see her so he crept out of the office, past the kitchen, and stopped as he caught sight of the most spectacularly beautiful sight he'd ever seen in his life. Without thinking he pulled out his phone and started the video recording. 'What a vision,' he thought as the beautiful naked blonde swayed to the music, her hips rocking from side to side, her tits flopping freely. As she spun around he was able to admire her tight muscular ass, her long legs, the patch of hair forming a vee...his cock throbbed to life as he watched her.
Melody was stroking her breasts before running her hands down her body to between her legs as she belted out,
"Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained
