The Love Of Money - Episode 43

She felt nice. Her waist fit so easily in my arms, and I
never could have guessed in a million years she would
feel that soft. I wanted nothing more than to get back
to that beautiful woman waiting for me back in her
office.
The Blue Beans was my second-most frequented coffee
shop in New York due to its proximity to where' I
worked. As usual, this time of day saw it packed with
men and women in power outfits and carrying leather-
clad notebooks. They ordered low-fat soy lattes with
extra shots, took notes, and discussed their next
acquisition or financial conquest.
I glanced at my phone, noting that was about ten
minutes late, then scanned the room for Ashlee. She
sounded so eager over the phone that I suspected she
beat me here. I only hoped that she wasn't here for
anything more than signing some papers. If she was
planning on picking up where' she left off in the
bathroom yesterday, I wasn't sure how I was going to
turn her down. Ashlee was a delight to all five senses,
though taste and touch hadn't been verified, a blind
man could have told me she was a thirteen out of ten.
Still... I just started something with Natalie, and I wasn't
about to kiss her then head to the coffee shop down
the street to start making plans on burying my dick in
someone new. I was already having enough trouble
trying to figure out how to deal with Helen and Bobbi in
light of recent events. I was already involved with
them and felt a little bad about continuing if I was
going to begin a relationship with Natalie. Was I being
premature?
I caught sight of Ashlee, who waved me over. There
were two coffees on the table, which answered the
question of whether or not I needed to order anything.
As I approached, she got up from the table and invited
me in for a hug.
"Hi, Marcus!" She was all smiles, dimples in her cute,
cherubic face. The part of me that liked trouble prodded
me with the idea that maybe I was being too hasty in
my enthusiasm to pursue Natalie. Helen's words about
not tying myself down came to mind. I accepted the
hug and she wrapped both arms around me, pressing
her chest against my torso. Already in heels, she had no
trouble brushing her lips against my cheek in a quick
kiss. It landed half an inch from the corner of my
mouth. She pulled away a moment later but kept her
face close to mine for a moment
longer than was necessary, her green eyes peering
through thick lashes in what was unmistakably a look
of pure carnality. A heartbeat later, it melted into the
shy smile of a young worman on a first date.
"So," Ashlee began as we sat down. "Your order just as
you asked, and of course, a little business to get out of
the way. This is all really just formalities. Nothing major.
I just need you to sign and initial where' I've marked.
These are standard documents that will permit us to
manage your international assets. Client/attorney
acknowledgments and agreements... you get the idea."
She set a small stack of documents in front of me while
took a sip of my coffee.
"I gotcha. Do you have a pen?" I was trying to remain
all business so she didn't have much encouragement to
flirt. Despite how conflicted I was, I decided I at least
needed time to get my head back on my shoulders. I
didn't want to screw up something I wanted, and if
things didn't turn out the way I expected... I suspected
Ashlee wouldn't be going anywhere'.
There was also the matter of checking in with Helen to
find out exactly what the relationship was between the
two of them. I couldn't forget that.
"Right here," she said, handing me a pen that probably
cost hundreds of dollars. As I signed the first field I
came to, however, I couldn't help but notice that it was
the best pen I'd ever written with. I fell silent as I
started going through the documents, skimming each
one to get the gist of what it was about before giving
up and signing it.
"So," Ashlee said from over her coffee cup as I worked.
"I hear you hired a new assistant today?"
I looked up at her. She was peering at me through her
long lashes as she took a sip of her coffee. My heart
sped up a beat or two, and I felt something stirring
below the waist... she knew what she was doing.
I looked back down at my paperwork and continued to
sign my name where' she left her mark. "Yep. Her name
is Erin."
She put her coffee cup down and made a cute little
sound that tore my attention from my work again. She
crinkled her nose and twisted her mouth in a way that
made her look like she was solving a difficult problem
or disgusted by an odd smell. I had to admit it was
adorable. The woman could make cute and sexy
synonymous.
"That's too bad," she said. "If I'd known you were
looking for someone to fill that role, I would have
applied."
The image of Ashlee replacing Bella entered my mind. I
saw her face hovering in front of my cock. Her plump,
pouty lips lightly kissed the head as her manicured nails
grazed my bare thighs. I swallowed hard at the
thought, again having to fight to regain control of my
primal urges. Something told me that this girl was
trouble, but another part of me was screaming at me..
"Honestly! Fuck the girl! She wants it! They all do! What
the hell are you even waiting for?"
"Sorry," I said, genuinely apologetic that she hadn't
been given the opportunity. "I would have definitely
interviewed you, Ashlee, but Helen was in charge of
putting together the candidate list. It was pretty small. I
only interviewed three people."
Ashlee narrowed her eyes in playful suspicion. "What
did Erin have to do to secure the job?" Her words were
laced with implication.
Unable to help myself, I played along. My eyes
widened in disbelief as I placed a hand on my chest in
faux shock and said, "Why, Miss VanCamp! Whatever
are you insinuating!?"
"I think you know," she giggled.
"I'll have you know, I'm a gentleman who would never
take advantage of a lady like that. Nor would I kiss in
tell if I displayed a moment of weakness."
Her smile faded and she placed a soft hand on top of
mine. Her fingers traced patterns on the back of my
hand as she looked up at me, her gaze switching from
playful to bedroom in a matter of moments. "You could
take advantage of me."
Holy shit.
I scanned her face, admiring her smokey, green eyes...
her perfect button nose... smooth, cream complexion...
fuck. I could really take advantage of this woman. How
old was she anyway?
Natalie. Remember Natalie and Helen.
