He stands and pulls off his jeans but when he crawls between my legs, I put my hands in his hair and lift him towards me.

‘Let me taste you.’ I stare at his angry cock and lick my lips at the thought of him in my mouth.

He yanks my hips further down the sofa then kneels across me, his shins either side of my hips, his erection level with my mouth. Keeping my eyes on him, I take him in my hands first, working his sack and the base of his shaft.

He pants, his hips rolling forward. ‘Let me feel your mouth around me, baby.’

I move my tongue up his length and around the tip. When a low growl leaves his chest, I wrap my mouth around him, sliding down him to meet my hand then drawing back to the tip. I work him until he loses control. His hands drop to the back of the sofa and he moves back and forth, fucking my mouth as I stay still, accepting him, ready for his release. He’s close; I can feel him thicken in my mouth and taste his juice. Then he pulls out.

He takes us to the floor, turning me forward on my knees as he does, my hands braced on the sofa. He pushes my thighs further apart and drives into my drenched sex.

‘Fuck! That’s the best feeling.’

He fucks me: rough, hard, thoroughly.

‘Thank you,’ I whisper.

‘Where’s Gregory?’ Williams asks as we ride the lift to the twenty-eighth floor and my new office.

‘Truth or the business lie?’

‘Erm, truth?’ he says, playfully uncertain.

‘Beautifying and pruning this morning.’

Williams chuckles and rolls his eyes but something tells me he has similar appointments and it’s not only his perfectly manicured nails.

‘Then he has a brunch and I think he’s working from home after that.’

‘Can’t blame him, it’s rough being massaged and cleansed.’

The lift pings at twenty-eight and Williams leads me to my office, as instructed by Gregory, despite the fact I already know where it is.

‘You really don’t have to babysit me, Williams.’

‘Oh, I do. Trust me, it’s not worth my life.’

We’re both laughing when Williams opens the door to my new office.

‘Scarlett!’ Sue jumps from behind the desk. ‘I was just getting things ready for you.’

Someone has had far too much caffeine.

‘Thank you, Sue, the place looks great.’ I look around the large, bright space. She’s hung my certificates on the walls: undergraduate degree, legal practice course, masters. She’s set my Mont Blanc pen neatly to one side of my keyboard.

A large arrangement of two dozen roses decorates the table in the corner of the room. I smile before I open the card.

Welcome to Team Gregory. Have a great first day, baby. xxx

‘Scarlett, Sue is your PA now,’ Williams says, reclaiming my attention.

‘It’s a trial,’ Sue jumps in, suddenly making apparent why she’s so jittery. ‘If I do anything you don’t like, if you want me to do anything differently, just say so.’

‘We’ve left her role fairly fluid,’ Williams explains. ‘We thought it would be best if you tell Sue what support you need and what you expect from her.’

‘Okay, that sounds sensible. Perhaps we could go for lunch today, Sue – my treat. I’ll have had a look around the systems by then and we can discuss how we’ll work together. Sound good?’
