I scowled, flexing my hands into fists. I had never felt so impotent before. So unable to do something,
anything
, in a situation.
Amber and Victoria were silent on either side of me in the back of the Uber, the driver's quiet presence making it difficult to talk about what had just happened.
So, instead of talking, I took several deep breaths. My brain was still buzzing from the drinks I'd already had, and now that I was no longer in a high-tension environment my body relaxed back into a slight haze.
Calm down, Chance...
I told myself, staring at my hands and forcing my fingers to uncurl.
You aren't a fighter, and Victoria is okay. Everyone is okay...
As if she could hear what I was thinking, Victoria reached over and wrapped her fingers around my left hand in my lap. She squeezed softly and gave me a small, encouraging smile.
Seeing it, I felt a twinge of shame.
I made it all about me,
I thought, biting the inside of my lip.
When it was
her
who really had to deal with that asshole.
I took another breath and let it out slowly.
"Are you okay?" I asked, staring into her sharp brown eyes. "I'm sorry about that guy. What a dick..."
Victoria nodded, and now her smile broadened.
I was a little confused, and I'm sure it showed on my face.
"I'm totally fine," Victoria said, now letting a chuckle escape. "That idiot is nothing compared to what I've had to deal with in the corporate world."
I nodded slowly, letting it sink in.
"And besides," she said, leaning in and letting her breath tickle the side of my neck. "I'm all yours," she whispered in my ear. "No other man, doing anything at all, is going to change that."
I felt a little glow at the words, the sting of my humiliation momentarily dispelled. I turned to kiss her, my lips pressing firmly against hers as I squeezed her hand in return.
After a moment, she pulled back. Her eyes were twinkling now, and she glanced over my shoulder to Amber. "What do you say, girl?" she asked. "Should we let that jackass ruin our plans for the night?"
I turned and saw Amber's glowing smile, obviously relieved that I was out of my momentary slump. She shifted in her seat, subtly letting her skirt ride up as she slid her nails slowly along the insides of her thighs and upwards. "Not at all," she murmured softly, too softly for the Uber driver to hear.
I relaxed completely, letting the last of the tension out of my system.
Enjoy the rest of your night, Chance,
I ordered myself.
You earned it. You can deal with your wounded pride in the morning.
I nodded to myself, then realized I had an expression of concentration on my face that both Victoria and Amber were giving a curious look. I let my face relax into a smile, but sternly made myself a promise.
You won't ever be in that situation of helplessness again.
The Uber dropped us off right outside my apartment, and almost before the front door was shut clothes were hitting the floor.
Amber's jacket was the first casualty, falling alongside the two purses that struck the ground as eager hands began to undo my tie and unbutton my shirt.
All of the sexual tension that had been building inside of me since we'd left the restaurant hours ago, all of the stress that had risen in my body as I confronted the man at the bar, all of it was channeled into a singular focus as I tangled my fingers in Victoria's hair and pushed her up against the wall, my hips pinning her there as I pulled back her head and left a trail of hot, hard kisses down her neck.
"Bedroom..." she murmured, and I pulled back, blinking, eyes still adjusting to the darkened interior.
All three of us giggled as we stumbled through the dark, the women kicking off their heels and immediately losing several inches of height as we turned right and into my bedroom. We collapsed onto the bed, the springs creaking softly under our weight.
Amber knelt beside me on the bed, her fingers quickly undoing the last few buttons of my shirt and pulling it off with enthusiasm. Victoria fell onto her back, her full breasts bouncing and her dark hair splaying out across the pillows.
I focused on my boss for the moment, sliding my hands up underneath the purple dress and up her smooth legs while Amber leaned in to kiss my neck and whisper in my ear.
"Show her how grateful you are, baby..." she murmured. "She helped you make tonight a success, so show her how much you appreciate her..."
I grinned, Victoria's back arching in anticipation as my fingers slid down her skin and circled around to the insides of her thighs, spreading her legs wide open to my gaze. To my excitement, I realized that she wasn't even wearing any panties to cover her smoothly shaven pussy.
"Naughty girl..." I murmured, and her eyes flashed back up at me, heated and smoky with lust.
"All for you, Chance..." she breathed, her breath quickening as adrenaline shot through her. "I'll be your responsible boss out in the world, but in the bedroom I'm your naughty little slut..."
