Dangerous Pleasures (29 page)

“Hey,” he blustered, “she’s been asking for it with that innocent act she puts on.”

“She’s a virgin, and you’ve traumatized her. You’re fired.” She pulled the check from the book and handed it to him. “Two weeks’ severance. Lars will escort you to the door. We’ll send you your belongings if you’ll tell us where.”

“What about my bonus?” Connor demanded to know.

“I’m giving it to Mary Finch as compensation. Get out!”

“I’ll go to the press about this place,” Connor threatened.

“What could you possibly tell them?” Annie said innocently. “We’d take you down with us.

“Take care of removing Connor, Lars; then return to me. I’m going to see if I can calm Mary down. It may take a little while, but then I’ll be ready for a
massage
. It’s been a long day.” She watched as, with a grim smile, Lars hustled Connor out of her office.

Taking Connor to his car, Lars said, “We’ll send you your stuff, asshole. Get going before I decide I want to beat the crap out of you.” Then, returning to the spa, he walked through the quiet lobby to the kitchens. He was hungry, and he knew Annie would need a little more time to calm that nice Mary Finch. He’d bring a tray upstairs with him when he had finished eating. He was looking forward to fucking Annie. She was quite a woman, he thought with a smile.

Annie knocked at the door of her apartment and identified herself before she inserted the key card into the lock. She found Mary Finch sitting quietly. “How do you feel now?” she asked the girl.

“Better,” Mary said. “Thanks for letting me stay tonight. I don’t think I could face my folks after what happened. I know my parents. They would say it was all my fault, and I must have led the guy on. But I didn’t, Mrs. Miller! Honest, I didn’t!”

“I know you didn’t, Mary,” Annie said quietly. “Connor has been troublesome for some time now. I’ve had two complaints from guests about his aggressiveness. I’ve had to fend him off a couple of times. I warned him one more infraction and he’d be fired. He has been. And he won’t bother you again, I promise you.”

“I don’t know a whole lot about sex except what they taught in health education in high school,” Mary admitted. “My mom has always said that when I needed to know she’d tell me. They didn’t let me date either, except with a group of friends. My dad said going out alone with a boy could just lead to trouble sooner or later. I must really sound like an idiot to you, especially in this day and age. Do you talk to your daughters about sex?”

“Amy yes, but so far the twins haven’t been too interested,” Annie said. “They’ll ask when they are. Rose and Lily aren’t shy. And I expect Amy will say something to them if they want information, and, of course, their friends. They’ll ask me when they want to ask. Some parents are shy about discussing sex with their kids, Mary, but sometimes it’s better to suffer a little embarrassment so your kids don’t suffer worse.”

Mary nodded in agreement. The two women spoke together for some time. Mary asked questions, and Annie answered them. And when a knock came upon the door of the apartment Annie got up, answering it, and let Lars come in. He was carrying a heavily laden tray.

“I thought you ladies might like something to eat,” he said cheerfully.

“I am hungry,” Mary admitted, eyeing the tray.

“You go first,” Annie said. “I have to discuss something with Lars.” She took the big masseur aside. “Connor is taken care of now?” she asked him.

Lars said quietly, “I personally escorted him.”

“Good! I’ll call Mr. Nicholas about the situation, if you’re willing to sit with Mary for a little bit.” She smiled up at him.

“You want to call off our
date
?” he asked. “I’d understand.”

“No,” Annie said. “We’re going to show little Mary that sex can be fun, exciting, and tender. I don’t want the memory of what Connor tried to do to spoil it for her. She said that after what he attempted she never wants to have sex. That’s just not right, Lars.”

He smiled slowly. “You, lady, are a very interesting woman,” he noted.

Annie smiled. “Am I?” she said coyly. Then she picked up her cell and punched in the number one. “Go,” she told him. “Mr. Nicholas, it’s Annie Miller.” She didn’t wish him a merry Christmas. Nora Buckley had said he didn’t celebrate Christmas, and actually had a strong dislike for the holiday. “I’m afraid we had a bit of a situation with one of the PAs. He made an attempt to assault my young assistant. Yes, Connor. I’ve fired him, and taken care of everything else.” She listened for a short time. Then Annie said, “Why, thank you, Mr. Nicholas. I’m glad you’re pleased with my decisions in the matter. I’ll look forward to seeing you January second. Yes, sir, the bookings for next week are excellent. We’re full up. Yes, sir. Good-bye now.” Annie closed her cell, smiling.

“The big boss okay with everything?” Lars asked casually when Annie returned.

“Yes, he is,” Annie replied. She reached for a sandwich half and began to eat.

“Lars says he made these sandwiches himself,” Mary said with a small giggle. “My dad doesn’t even know how to boil water. Roast beef on buttered white bread, and the crusts cut off. Aren’t they good, Mrs. Miller?”

“They certainly are, Mary,” Annie agreed, reaching for another sandwich half.

They ate all the sandwiches Lars had brought, and drank a glass of wine each. Then they devoured the tiny mincemeat minitarts he had included. Finally they sat talking for a time, and, seeing that Mary was now calm again, Annie decided to put into effect the rather naughty plan that had formed in her head earlier. She was quite surprised at herself, but then, she thought, she wanted to help Mary get past her trauma.

“Feeling better now?” she asked her assistant.

Mary nodded.

“I thought you were very brave tonight, considering what happened,” Annie said. “Do you think you could be brave some more for me, Mary?”

Slowly the girl nodded again. “What do you want me to do, Mrs. Miller?”

“Nothing awful.” Annie laughed lightly. “But your experience with Connor has given you the wrong idea about sex. I don’t want you missing out on something wonderful because of that prick, Mary. Lars and I have become, um, good friends. We would like to demonstrate to you that sex between two consenting adults isn’t terrible or awful at all. It’s really lots of fun, and quite delicious.”

“What would I have to do?” Mary asked, nervous now. She gulped down some more of the wine Lars had discreetly added to her glass.

“Nothing at all but watch us,” Annie told the girl.

“Watch you?” The look on Mary’s face told them she didn’t know whether to be afraid or shocked. “Watch you have sex?”

“Watch us make love,” Annie corrected her gently.

“I wouldn’t have to do anything myself?” Mary queried again.

“Nope. Not unless you want to, of course, but I really think you should just watch us tonight, Mary. You can ask questions afterward if you want,” Annie said.

“If you don’t want to watch,” Lars told the girl, “you don’t have to, Mary. You can go to the guest room, and we can take this into Annie’s bedroom. But when that little turd Connor tried to force you, he scared you. That’s not our purpose. Annie and I just want you to know that making love is really great.” He pulled off the tight black T-shirt he was wearing, revealing a smooth, well-muscled chest and a torso of washboard abs. Then, standing, he pushed down his pale gray sweatpants, stepped out of them, and kicked them aside. He was wearing nothing now but silky-looking black briefs that outlined his tight, round butt and barely contained his large wad. Walking over to the big bed in the room, he turned, holding out a hand. “Annie?”

Mary Finch’s eyes were huge in her face, and she couldn’t keep them from the bulge in Lars’ briefs. Her breathing quickened, and she licked her lips.

Annie watched the girl surreptitiously as she unzipped her dress and stepped out of it. Beneath she wore a lacy bra and matching bikini panties. She stripped them off and, walking over to Lars, knelt down, pulling his briefs off. Taking his cock into her mouth, she began to suck on him slowly, with obvious relish as her fingers reached beneath to tickle his balls.

Mary watched Annie and Lars, wide-eyed.

His eyes had been closed with the pleasure Annie was giving him. He opened them now and said, “You see? I’m not making her do it. She wants to do it, because lovers like to please each other.” His hand reached out to touch Annie’s head gently.

“Sucking cock is an intimate thing. It should only be done between people who like and respect each other,” Lars said. His fingers dug into Annie’s head, signaling her that he wanted her to stop, and she did. Pulling her up, he kissed her deeply. Then he said, “Come on over here, Mary, so you can see better what’s going on.”

“If you want to lie on the bed with us, it’s okay,” Annie put in as she got up to lead them into her bedroom.

Mary followed, and while she stood near the bed she made no attempt to join them, but she did move a little closer as Lars began playing with Annie’s breasts. She was shocked by their nakedness, yet she was also fascinated by it as well. She had often imagined what it would be like to be naked with a lover. Connor’s attempted assault of her earlier had frightened her. But these two people were obviously enjoying themselves very much, as evidenced by Annie’s face as Lars bent and suckled on her plump breast. “Is that nice?” she asked shyly. She had let a few boys in high school fumble with her breasts, but she had never let them touch her bare flesh. They had all said she was a prude.

“Ummm, yes, very nice,” Annie said. “It’s an arousal technique, and a very successful one, too, I might add.”

“I enjoy it, too,” Lars said, turning about. “Annie’s tits are quite a turn-on.”

Mary Finch’s eyes grew big again at the sight of his penis.

Seeing where her gaze had settled, he smiled at her, his eyes twinkling.

Mary blushed, but then she asked him, “Are you considered big?”

“Bigger than some, not as big as others,” Lars admitted with a small smile. “Haven’t you ever seen a penis before, honey?”

“In books,” Mary said. “But not for real until tonight. You look very big to me.”

“I’m not even fully aroused yet,” he told her. He looked over at Mary Finch, wondering if she would remain, would eventually join them. “You okay? Want to stay? It’s going to get interesting now.” He had never really paid a great deal of attention to her before, but now that he was beginning to know her, Lars decided that Mary was adorable. It wasn’t a word he ever remembered using to describe a woman. Women were either fuckable or they weren’t. Mary was both adorable and fuckable. He was surprised at himself.

“What are you going to do?” Mary queried him.

It was obvious that she was fascinated. That she might even want to be in Annie’s place. Clever Annie, Lars considered. He now knew what she intended. She wanted them to seduce little Mary Finch together. The mere thought excited him. “Women suck cock,” he said as he began to answer her question. “Men lick cunt.”

Mary gasped at both the word and the idea, but she moved closer still to the bed.

Annie spread herself open, and Lars slipped between her legs, pulling them over his shoulders, his dark head diving between her thighs. Within just a few seconds Annie was making sounds of distinct pleasure. Mary couldn’t help watching, mesmerized. His tongue was licking and flicking about Annie’s wet flesh. Mary felt herself getting wet, like when she read sex scenes in romance novels. She knew she should probably turn away, go, but she just couldn’t. This was the most exciting thing she had ever seen, and it was very obvious that both Lars and Annie were enjoying it.

And then Lars lifted his head and, moving his body, revealed his penis, swollen to at least twice the size it had been before. Mary heard Annie murmur softly, “Fuck me, darling!” and Lars pushed himself into her. Annie sighed deeply. Practically hypnotized by the lush sensuality of it all, she watched as Lars began to move on Annie. It was beautiful, and when the couple’s passion peaked with their pleasurable cries and they fell away from each other, Mary felt sorrow that it was over. Without even realizing it, she sat down heavily on the bed, for she didn’t think her legs would hold her up any longer.

Reaching out, Annie drew Mary down and kissed her cheek lightly. “Wasn’t that nice?” she purred at the spellbound girl. “Lars is a wonderful lover.”

Mary nestled against Annie. “I never thought that sex could be so…so…”

“Wouldn’t you like it to be like that for you?” Annie whispered.

“I don’t know.” Mary hesitated. And then she drew away from Annie and stood up, stepping away from the bed. “I’m going to my own room now,” she said.

“We could make you forget what happened if you would let us. Replace that bad memory with a good one.” Annie smiled at the girl.

“Would Lars make love to me like he did to you?” Mary asked softly.

“If you let me, I will,” Lars said. “I want to make you happy, baby girl,” he told her. “I want to give you good dreams, not bad ones.” And to his surprise he realized that he did. This shy innocent touched him as no woman ever had.

“I think I would like that,” Mary said slowly. “But I don’t think I’m brave enough yet to let you. I always thought I would wait for my wedding night to have real sex, but now I don’t think I want to wait. Does that sound silly?” Her look was anxious.

“No, it doesn’t sound silly,” Lars assured her quickly. He had seen the look of irritation in Annie’s eyes. Annie wanted him to fuck the kid, but the kid wasn’t ready, and if she wasn’t, he wasn’t going to do it. “You go on to bed, sweetie. It’s been a long day for you. But when you’re ready, Mary, let me be your first. I don’t want some eager jerk spoiling your first time. I’ll make it extra-special for you, I promise. Okay?”

“Okay,” she promised him softly. “You can be my first, Lars. I think I would like it if you were.” Mary smiled a little smile at him. Then she left Annie’s bedroom, closing the door behind her.

“You’ll have to be gentle, and extra-careful with that big stick of yours,” Annie said with a mischievous grin. “It’s going to hurt the first time you do it to her, and it’s going to take all your persuasive powers to get her past that part.”
