and
opened the glass door, then crossed the lobby, her high heels clicking on the
marble floor. She glanced at the directory near the elevators, then walked
down the hall to the end and stopped at Suite 105. A sign said to ring the
bell, which she did. Becca had told her that these four men ran a software
business, programming games. This office was where they developed the games.
Also, Becca had told her the guys were extremely good-looking. All but one of
the men used to work with Cal as strippers before they graduated from college
and started this business, so she didn't doubt it.
The door opened and she gazed up at
a totally hot hunk wearing a suit, his long, black hair tied back. He had
startling blue eyes that twinkled when he smiled at her.
"Are you Sylvia?"
She nodded.
He pulled the door open. "Please
come in."
She stepped into the office. There
was a large table in the center of an open space with a big window overlooking
the city below and several doors to offices along the wall behind it. There
was a hallway off to the side. The space had a lot of character, with red
brick walls and a curved arch around the window.
"I'm Mike Bairn. Come on into
my office."
She followed him across the central
area to the leftmost office. One man was working in the far right office, but
he didn't glance up.
"Am I early?" she asked
as she sat down in the chair across from his desk.
"No, not at all. The others
will meet us in the conference room in a few minutes."
She nodded, starting to feel a
little nervous. Would her fantasy begin in the conference room? Would they
order her to take off all her clothes, then… other things. She'd been looking
forward to this fantasy for over a week—ever since Becca had told her she
wanted to set it up, and that it would be acted out by some of Cal's
ex-stripper friends—but now that the reality was here, she had a case of
nerves.
This man Mike was extremely
masculine, and sexy, and he set her hormones humming, but could she really just
strip down and become his sex toy. Along his three partners, too?
Don't freak out now. This is your
fantasy!
Mike leaned forward, his hands
folded on his desk. "So Cal told us what you were looking for. As I
understand it, your brother cheated us out of a sizeable amount of money and
you agree to be our sex slave in return for not prosecuting him."
Sylvia felt her cheeks heat as she
nodded. In her head, especially after reading that book, it seemed extremely
sexy, but laid out blatantly like that made her feel brash and… well, maybe a
little slutty. And… maybe she was being… uh…brash. But both Becca and Jan had
lived out their fantasies, and both were pretty wild. Why shouldn't she?
And when she'd become enamored of
the fantasy, she'd never, ever dreamed she'd live it out. What woman
did? But now that she had the opportunity, she really didn't want to walk
away.
"So, don't get me wrong, I
find the whole thing wildly sexy, but…"—he shrugged—"we sound a bit
mean, prosecuting your brother." At his grin and the twinkle in his eye,
she knew he wasn't making fun of her, but he was teasing her.
"Well, he did do you wrong."
"True. But then we're
distracted by a beautiful woman."
Her cheeks burned hotter at his
compliment. "Well, a woman offering sex, anyway."
He chuckled and stood up. "Okay,
I think we're ready to proceed. The others know the story and are ready to go
and we all know the safe word is Tiger. The minute we step out of this office,
we're into our roles. Okay?"
"Okay." Her stomach
quivered as she stood up.
They walked to the door together,
but before he opened it, he took her hand and kissed it. Tingles danced along
her skin at the delicate brush of his lips.
"Sylvia, thank you for
including us in your fantasy." Then he winked and opened the door.
She followed him to the end of the
big table in the open area where he gestured for her to sit down.
