Red shoes. Black stockings. Black skirt suit. Deep crimson blouse. Her lips were painted the same sinful shade. Her hair was twisted up again, but this time no curls—more like a quiff. Sleek. Severe. Powerful.

I almost reached up to fix my hair.

“Mr Trentham, Sean said you wanted to see me,” she said, hesitating by the door.

She relaxed and moved forward when I gestured to the seat before me.

“I’m impressed, sir. You’ve built quite the company—and expanded so much in the last fifteen years. A true visionary,” she said as she sat down.

“No, this is wonderful, sir. I appreciate you taking the time out for me. I’m the most junior person in your office,” she said, unclasping her hands and wiping her palms on her skirt.

Yes.

It was happening.

Her smile was enthusiastic. Genuine. Warmth radiated from her like a glow.

So innocent.

Sugar daddy or something darker… I didn’t care. I wanted her.

Badly.

“Tell me about your time in the executive’s office?”
