“Now you know our most secret desire.” Noah stroked her hair as one would a child. “You’ve given us an enormous amount of pleasure. Your talents are greater than I could have imagined.”
“How did you know that I want this?”
“We didn’t,” Noah said softly. “We could only hope.”
“I say we get her to the shower and then feed her some proper food,” Mark said with a laugh. “We can’t expect her to live on our cocks alone.”
Julie smiled. They wanted her, and she wanted them. But a nagging little voice in her head wouldn’t let her just enjoy the moment. She knew this couldn’t last. Nothing like this could. She had to be prepared for it to end. But for now, she would enjoy what they were offering.
The shower was quick but thorough. They each took turns soaping her until she felt squeaky clean. She loved the feel of their hands caressing her with such loving care. She felt pampered beyond words. When they left her to dress, she pulled on her jeans with shaky hands. She was a mass of nerves. How could she sit down and have a normal meal with them when all she could think about was what had happened between them?
Somehow she managed to get through breakfast without making a fool of herself. They acted like nothing had changed. If she hadn’t known better, she would have thought it had been nothing more than a dream. They were so cool and calm, and here she was, unable to think of anything else. It was their fault for awakening a sexual side of her that she had no idea existed.
After she had eaten the eggs that Noah had prepared, she excused herself to survey the grounds and still her wayward thoughts. Everything had been done. There was nothing left to do except leave gracefully. She went back into the house and up to her room to pack her things.
When she was sure she hadn’t left anything behind, she went back downstairs to tell them she was leaving. She hoped they would ask her to stay or at least make plans to see her again, but when no one mentioned their next meeting, her worst fears were realized. They walked her to her car. Awkwardly, she stood there before she gave each one of them a light kiss on the lips. She could see them watching her drive away in her rearview mirror.
When she arrived home, she pulled out her half-dead cell phone to see she had several messages from Kelly. She would want all the details, and Julie would give her most of them. There was no way she was going to share that she had slept with three men in the same bed. She knew Kelly wasn’t a prude, but this was something she thought was best to keep to herself.
She called Kelly, who picked up almost immediately.
“We must have received over twenty phone calls this morning from new clients who were raving over the dinner party last night. They want to book us for dinners, luncheons, and a variety of events. And, Julie,” she continued excitedly, “these people are the social elite of San Francisco. You must have been absolutely amazing. How could I have ever doubted you?”
“That’s fantastic. I was just going to tell you how well it went. You’re telling me it went even better than I thought.”
“We’ve got some work ahead of us, but we’ll do it even if we have to hire more staff. In fact, I’m thinking we need to hire a manager to help us. We need someone who can handle more than just the food.”
“Whoa, there,” Julie said. “You are excited.”
“I know this is your day off, and God knows, you deserve it, but do you think you might be able to come over later and we could talk about what has to be done and how we’ll divide the new clients?”
“Of course. I’ll be over later this afternoon.”
“Good. I’ll see you then. Gotta go, the phones are ringing,” Kelly ended happily.
Julie was ecstatic. Noah’s party had opened doors just the way she had hoped it would. She knew his endorsement and the party’s success, along with introducing her into his social circle, had put them in line to go from a profitable catering company to one that could put them in another tax bracket. She owed him a lot. She owed all three of them a lot. However, maybe last night was all they wanted from her.
Had Noah seen her as nothing more than a challenge to be undertaken and won? Were Keith and Mark just along for the ride? And it had been quite a ride, she thought to herself, feeling warmth creep into her cheeks. Noah was obviously the Alpha male and a master at getting what he wanted. She had heard him on the phone with authors and agents when important calls had interrupted their meetings. She had admired how he had known exactly the right things to say to diffuse tension and convince the person on the other end of the conversation that everything was going as planned and to trust him.
What had happened to her was as far removed from her past as anything could be. She was a mass of conflicting emotions. She caught her reflection in the hall mirror. She couldn’t ignore the fact that for the first time in her life, she had experienced sexual fulfillment. She hadn’t felt used or that her feelings hadn’t mattered. She had felt wanted and loved. Although she knew it wasn’t real love, it had felt so right. If last night had been a very well-thought-out plan of seduction, she shivered in anticipation of what they had planned for her next.
A few months had passed since Noah’s dinner party. Their client list continued to grow. The surge of new business as a result had not dwindled as she thought it might. It appeared to have stabilized as the clients and events kept rolling in. The new store had been completed and they had hired a much-needed manager. And contrary to what she had thought when she had left Noah’s mansion the morning after, he, along with Mark and Keith, had no intention of not seeing her again. Life was good and she was happier than she could have thought possible.
With their ever-increasing book of clients, along with the three men that were every bit as demanding, she found she had barely enough time for sleep. However, she wasn’t complaining about that either. This morning Kelly had scheduled their weekly meeting for first thing so as not to interfere with the day that promised to be a busy one.
Julie walked into the large kitchen to see that Kelly was busy preparing for the day ahead. She never ceased to amaze Julie. She was so organized and efficient when she was in the kitchen.
Seeing her, Kelly stopped pouring the batter for the muffins and went to the sink to wash her hands. “Hey.”
Julie could tell by the set of her friend’s jaw that she wasn’t in the mood for a lot chitchat and this would be a short meeting.
Kelly walked over to the large table and pulled out her laptop from her briefcase. Placing it on the smooth surface, she looked up at Julie with a nervous smile. Julie finished pouring herself a much-needed cup of coffee, wondering why Kelly seemed so awkward this morning.
“I want to start by saying,” Kelly began, “that I think you’ve more than proven yourself as a great administrator who really does have the forethought to keep this business moving forward.”
Julie sat down across the table from Kelly and took a sip of the steaming liquid. Why, she wondered, was Kelly beginning the meeting on such a formal note? Something was definitely underfoot here.
“Thank you, but I think we’re both good administrators.”
“That may be, but I’ve been thinking about making a change in how we do things that I want to run by you.”
Julie placed her cup down. “Of course, but this sounds serious.”
“There’s nothing wrong. In fact, everything is more than right. I just think it’s time that we addressed the fact that our business continues to increase by leaps and bounds and there could be a better way of doing things.”
“Okay. I thought that’s why we hired a manager. But I’m listening,” Julie said. “You know I’m always open to doing things better.”
“I would really like to spend my time doing what I do best, and that’s working with the kitchen staff to make sure the quality of our offerings continues to be up to standard. With so many new clients, I can already see how easy it can be to cut corners, and that’s not what we want.”
“What are you suggesting?”
“I think I should handle the back end of the business and you should handle the front end of the business. And if my instincts are correct, I think it’s what you want, too. Am I right?”
Kelly had put into words what she had been bouncing around in her head. However, Kelly had started this business, and she was glad that she was the one to suggest it. She nodded her head and smiled. “It makes perfect sense. I was thinking the same thing.”
Kelly laughed. “Thank God. I didn’t want to insult you by making you feel you weren’t wanted or needed in the kitchen, but then, I thought, this is Julie. She’ll tell me if she thinks I’m crazy.”
This was a huge step for Kelly to give up so much control, but it made perfect business sense.
“I would think we’d have to discuss James’s role and how it will change.”
“You are happy with James, aren’t you? I mean, he’s working out all right?” Kelly asked. “I see him as an integral part of making these changes work.
“He’s fantastic. I’m in awe of how quickly he has learned our book of business and endeared himself to our clients. He’s got a great way about him. I’m so glad you recommended him.”
“Me, too,” Kelly said happily. “And although I’m backing away from client meetings, I know that you have a flair for creating new recipes, too. So I’m not suggesting that you give that up. And I’ll be there when you need me to speak with clients. I just think we need to concentrate our efforts. You’re good at creating proposals and knowing what the clients want. It’s obvious from the feedback we’ve received that you’re the reason why we have so many new clients.”
“Thank you, but I can’t take all the credit. We’re a team and one without the other just doesn’t work. Although I have to admit, I do enjoy marketing and account management. James likes to keep his hands in the kitchen, too, but his strength is event follow-up. He has a knack for keeping our events organized, and his attention to detail has proven to be more of an asset than even I had thought possible.”
“I’m so glad you feel that way. I just think we should both be doing what we do best and with his support, it should work.”
“Let’s pencil in another meeting this week with James so we can work out the details.”
“I’ll send you an e-mail,” Kelly said with what seemed a sigh of relief.
“And now you’ll be able to devote more of your time to baking those large tiered cakes—something I know you love doing.”
Kelly’s cakes were not only delicious but works of art. Julie knew they could be a big seller, and now Kelly would have the time to make that happen. And, if she were truthful, not having Kelly looking over her shoulder would also give her more alone time with Mark and Keith. She knew it was selfish and unprofessional, but she couldn’t help that she couldn’t get enough of their company or Noah’s. Never had she felt such a need to lose herself completely in the pleasure of a man’s company like she did with them.
She was meeting with Mark that very afternoon and she couldn’t wait. She called him to let him know she’d be meeting with him without Kelly or James. If the happy surprise in his voice was any indication, he was looking forward to seeing her alone, too.
* * * *
Julie and Mark had finished going over his recommendations for several upcoming events when he got up from his chair to draw the blinds before he walked to his office door and locked it. Julie watched with anticipation from her chair.
“Bend over my desk,” he ordered.
She bent over in a most unladylike way to reveal her naked ass and pussy that she knew would please him.
“Is that beautiful cunt wet for me, Julie?”
“Yes,” she had said, looking straight ahead.
She heard his pants unzip and fall to the floor. She wanted to turn to admire his cock that she knew was already hard and huge, but she also knew how much he liked her natural submissiveness when they were having sex. His cock rubbed against her ass before he lubed it and slid it into her pussy. He began fucking her with firm, even strokes. She held on to the desk for support as he fucked her harder and harder until they both were moaning.
With a final grunt, he filled her pussy with reams of his cum. She let herself go completely as she climaxed hard. When his cock slipped from inside her, she turned and kneeled in front of him. She took him in her mouth and milked his cock, sucking out the remainder of his cum. When she had finished, she pulled out the Handi Wipes she always carried with her along with a spritz of perfume spray. He watched her silently clean herself before she stood up and pulled down her dress.
“Did I please you?” she asked, casting her eyes downward.
He tilted her head upward. “You are all a man could want. Did my sweet slut enjoy having me use her in my office?”
“Yes, she did.”
Mark groaned and drew her into his arms. “Oh, Julie, what have you done to me? All I can think about is you.”
Julie’s heart sang. She couldn’t believe how happy those words made her. The only thing that made her happier was when she was giving pleasure to all three men.
Mark gently released her as he pulled his underwear and pants back on, tucking in his shirt. To the innocent observer, they now looked perfectly normal. His staff would never suspect when she left his office that she had just been fucked by their boss and had drank his cum like her favorite milkshake. It was so naughty and so erotic.
