The Corporate Raider part 11
by Denise Mayes
Chapter 11
Taylor watched her come nearer and nearer. She cocked her head at the woman intrigued at the idea that Alex actually believed she could get to her before she opened the door. Just when the woman thought she could grab the girl, Taylor opened the door, right in the middle of Alex reaching for her. The woman’s hand suddenly retreated to her own hair, where she made it appear as if she was just straightening it.
"D’Angelo?!" She greeted, in a high pitched, somewhat off guard tone.
"It took you long enough."
"Please come in Mr. Mazzarda?" Taylor invited, and then looked back at Alex as she closed the door.
"Thank you." He said, as he gave a curious look back to Alex.
"D’angelo, this is Ms. Taylor Young my friend and Personal Assistant. Taylor, this is Mr. D’Angelo Mazzarda."
"How do you do?" She said, as she shook his hand.
"Fine thank you. Aren’t you a little beauty? Careful Alex, you may have some competition when it comes to the men’s attention.
Taylor blushed and looked over at the woman who raised a brow at her. Alex gave her a look that she recognized as meaning, for her to be careful, if she didn’t want to upset her.
"Um..I need to get back to the kitchen, and finish making dinner, I got a little distracted, but I think I will be able to FINISH it now?"
"Well it was nice meeting you."
"You too Mr. Mazzarda."
"D’Angelo, please?"
"D’Angelo." She said with a polite smile, and then another glance back at the woman who still had not taken her eyes off of the girl.
"Um...yeah, okay, I’ll just go then?"
"You do that, we’ll talk later, you can be sure."
"Of course." Taylor said, somewhat nervous as she turned and walked back out of the foyer area, leaving the two alone for the moment.
Alex watched her go but the girl heard D’Angelo’s final comment to the woman.
"You know your cheeks are flushed?"
"Oh, I didn’t realize it. Anyway, come on in. You can go to the living room and make us all a drink, wine for me and the same for her. I’ll be there in just a few minutes. I need to go and check on something in the kitchen."
"I would think so, considering you have your friend in there cooking in that massive kitchen of yours. I’m surprised she’s not getting completely lost?"
"Right. Anyway, we’ll be there in a few minutes."
"All right, this way right?"
"Yes, down the hall and turn left." The woman instructed.
"Okay, I got it, I remember now." He said, as he turned and headed down the hallway.
Alex turned and with quick strides she went back to the kitchen. The door flew open and Taylor started at first, and then gave an innocent wide eyed gaze at the woman. "No. It’s not going to work, I want to know what you call yourself doing out there?" The woman asked, as she went around the counter to stand in front of the girl.
"What?"
"That blushing!" Alex said sharply.
"I...I...he just caught me off guard, that’s all."
"I don’t want to see that again."
"It wasn’t like I planned it."
"You should not be reacting that way to anyone else, or to anything they say in such a way. It leads me to believe that they are saying something more special to you than I am. Is that what you're trying to tell me?"
"No, of course not, I’ll remember. Okay?"
"All right. Now, I owe you for opening the door."
"I had to open it, you invited him?"
The woman didn’t say anything else, she just lifted the girl's chin and kissed her sweetly, then said as she turned to leave. "I’ll pay you back for opening it. If you think what was happening before he came was overwhelming, Ha! Have I got a surprise for you. Hurry out." Alex then left the kitchen, leaving the girl staring in amazement at the very idea, of what she could possibly have planned for her.
Taylor finished up the preparations of the meal and now it was just a matter of everything cooking. Dinner would take about an hour and a half, with the temperature that the girl put everything on. She washed and dried her hands, then headed back into the living room.
"So is your friend living here with you, or just visiting from out of town, or just trying to find a place to live, and staying here with you until she does?"
"She’s staying here."
"Aha...got tired of rattling around in this big place all by yourself huh?"
"Something like that." She said dubiously, and took a sip of her wine.
Taylor came into the room and the man stood up in a respectful fashion. She smiled shyly and moved to sit on the sofa where Alex sat.
"So, how long have you two known each other?" He asked the girl.
"Months."
"Months? Hmm, now that’s interesting?"
"Why?" The girl asked with curiosity showing it’s head.
"Well I remember when Alex and I were dating, and I remember making that same suggestion, only our situation was different. We were in a relationship, but she turned me down flat. Hmm...interesting indeed."
Taylor's eyes looked at the man in confusion. She then looked over at Alex and then asked the man, while she continued to look at the woman.
"You two dated?"
The woman simply cocked her head, and took a drink of her wine as she looked at Taylor, undisturbed by the revelation.
"Yes, I would have thought my Rose would have told her friend?"
"Your...R.o.s.e.?" The girl repeated as she looked at the man.
"Yes, it’s just a pet name I use to call her when we were together, she IS quite a woman."
"Yes, she is, and just full of surprises." The girl said, as she stood up to go back to the kitchen.
"Where are you going?"
"To check on dinner." She answered somewhat curtly.
Alex’s ears rang with the tone and she caught the girl's wrist.
"No, the dinner is fine, you just came out of there, now sit down, and behave." The woman said matter-of-factly.
Taylor looked at her with a pout on her lips, and the woman simply raised a brow that told the girl she meant it. The girl swallowed hard and turned to go back to where she was sitting. Alex watched her retake her seat, and the man watched with wonder at the interaction.
"So...anyway, when I asked my Rose why we couldn’t move in together, she told me she was not ready to take our relationship to that level yet." The man went on with his previous conversation.
"Why?" Taylor asked of the woman.
"Because I was not interested in taking our relationship to that level, there were too many things I wanted to do to be distracted by a relationship."
"So how long have you known Alex?"
"Quite a few years. I met her in Europe when she was taking over a company there. Things were really vicious, and it was more of a man’s genre, but then this brilliant woman comes along. The men who thought they were vicious thought they would be able to walk all over Alex. I remember sitting in this one meeting with some other corporate heads. We were all looking to take the company and the CEO of the company we were all looking to either takeover, or partner with decided to call a meeting of all the interested parties. It was a sight to behold."
"I can image." Taylor said, looking over at the woman who seemed uninterested in the man’s praise.
"No...you can’t even begin to, the woman you work with today is so much more easy going than she use to be."
"Really??" The girl gasped, completely astonished at that thought.
"Yes, she was...extraordinary. She not only showed how ferocious she could be, but she turned that meeting into a biding war. The only thing was, we were all making offers to her, rather than the CEO who we thought still owned his company. She had already taken it over as far as the bank and the investors were concerned. She had the loan called in with one phone call and within the hour the Ex-CEO was signing his company over to Alex so that he would at least make a little profit. From that point on, there was no stopping her, and it was that same event that lead to her moniker, "The Raider". She became a whirlwind in the business community, she not only gained the respect of every business man and woman, but also intimidated all of them as well."
"What about you? You don’t seem to be intimidated by her?"
"Oh, I assure you I was, right along with the rest of the business community, but the only difference was I showed no fear. I was actually quite intrigued by her. I mean she was not only fierce in business, but drop dead gorgeous. She was the youngest CEO ever. She was exciting, I had never wanted a woman so badly as I wanted her, I still want her, and I’m hoping that if things work out tonight I’ll have my chance again?" He said, ending with a question directed at the woman.
"Well, at least your being honest. What do you say to that Alex?" Taylor asked, once again coming to her feet, but this time she walked around the long way to keep Alex from stopping her.
Alex watched her, but said nothing except to let her know they would talk later. "I’m sure we will. Excuse me, I need to go check on dinner." Taylor then walked out of the living room.
"Hm...she’s a little different from the types of friends you usually associate with, how did you two meet?"
"She came to my attention when she tried to save my life." The woman said matter-of-factly."
"Really? Someone tried to kill you?"
"Yes."
"And she saved you?"
"Not directly, but she had the intention to try."
"Well, to be honest I’m not really surprised by the attempt on you, but I am a little curious as to how that led to you allowing her to move in here with you?"
"I saved her life in return, and this was a safe place for her to stay at that time."
"Someone was out to hurt her?"
"Yes, he actually raped her, but he wasn’t able to complete it...if you know what I mean?"
"Oh....I’m sorry to hear something like that happened to her, but it seems you’ve been able to help her get past that?"
"Yes, and in the process, things changed."
"Changed?"
"Ye...."
"Excuse me, but dinner is ready Alex." Taylor chimed in.
"Come here Taylor." Alex called, as she came to her feet.
"Yes?" She said, as she walked over to where the woman stood watching her.
Alex lifted the girl's chin more and looked into her eyes as she asked pointedly.
"Are you jealous?"
"Alex don’t." Taylor said, now embarrassed by the statement.
"Jealous??" The man said with knitted brows, as he looked at the two women.
"No need to be." Alex said, as she lowered her head and kissed the now nervous and embarrassed, yet relieved girl.
The man’s jaw dropped open.
Alex leaned back from Taylor and gave her a knowing look.
"Are you okay now?"
"Yes." The girl said blushing.
"I would have thought you trusted me by now, after everything?" The woman said honestly.
"You're right, I’m sorry, I just thought..."
"I know what you thought, anyway we’ll talk about it later. Let’s go eat."
"Okay."
"D’Angelo."
"Oh...right." He said, snapping out of his shock, and then walking towards the door to head for the dining room.
They arrived in the dining room and the maid served the meal. The man complimented the smell and look of the food. Taylor blushed slightly, but she gave a shy glance at the woman sitting at the other end of the table. D'Angelo sat in the middle. Alex took a bite of her food, which allowed for the man to proceed with eating. He took a bite of the delightful looking plate of food and then sighed at how delicious the taste was in his mouth.
"You're a wonderful cook!" He said, taking another bite and closing his eyes for a moment to let the flavors hit all of his taste buds. "Wonderful."
"Thank you." Taylor said, with a smile as she looked at the woman who gave a wink to her. The smile brightened more and they all continued eating.
The man after a bit of just eating, finally went back into their conversation of earlier. "Well this is a bit of a surprise, but I guess with you it doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, as long as you're happy?"
"That’s right."
"Well, I’m happy for you...both. I guess that ends any thoughts I may have had about us?"
"Yes, it does." Alex said with a smirk.
"Okay then, I guess we should talk about business?"
"That’s fine."
"I think I will go and check on dessert, if you’ll excuse me?" Taylor said, more to Alex than to the man.
"Go ahead." She agreed. The man stood up to see her off from the table, then sat back down and continued the conversation.
"I think that company is a gold mine, and if you don’t take advantage of it, then you're not the same person I met in Italy."
"I’m the same, and I think it is an excellent investment option."
"D’Angelo, what’s the name of this company?" Taylor asked, coming back into the dining room with a tray of desserts. She served them to the two people and then took her own. She sat down waiting for D’Angelo to tell her the name of the company, seeing how she still had not heard it.
"It’s called Zadria’s fashions."
"What?! Is this the company you're thinking about taking over?" Taylor asked, shocked by the news.
"Yes." Alex answered, as she took a sip of her wine, but watched the girl over the rim of the glass.
"You can’t take over her business."
"I can and I will."
"No, she’s my friend, you know that!" The girl stated adamantly. She stood up to leave the table.
"Calm down, and sit back down." Alex said, undisturbed by the girl's behavior, at least that’s the way it appeared to D.Angelo.
"I didn’t mean to cause a problem." He said, apologizing for upsetting the girl.
"It’s not a problem D’Angelo, it’s just business, and the sooner my ASSISTANT, realizes that, the better." Alex said, directing her statement to Taylor more than the man, as she put her glass on the table.
"This is not just about business." Taylor said, as she continued to stand. The woman didn’t answer the girl, but simply gave her a look that told her to sit down. Taylor inhaled, and then sat back down.
"That’s better. Now, as far as this not being about business specifically. That is exactly what it’s about. This is what I do, I take over other companies. There is nothing new about that. I realize she is a friend of yours, but as a business person she realizes, I’m sure, that these are the risks of owning your own company. There is always someone out there waiting for you to peek your head out, so they can come in and take it."
"So you're saying you're a vulture."
Alex flinched at that statement, and then her brows furrowed, as her eyes narrowed at Taylor.
"This is not about anything but business! D’Angelo, I will be in touch with you about this in the next few days." Alex said, summarily ending the evening so that she could talk to the girl alone.
"I understand, I’ll talk to you later. It was nice to have met you." He said. kissing the girl's hand.
"Thank you, it was nice to have met you too." She said, as Alex stood to see the man out.
Taylor went about clearing the table and taking the dishes to the kitchen, where Alex came storming through after seeing the man out. "What was that?!" She shouted.
"What?"
"Don’t give me what! You know what I’m talking about!"
"I’m sorry for my comment, I didn’t mean it, I was just caught off guard by the news." Taylor said, placing the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, as she looked at the woman.
"Well, don’t ever do that to me again, I would never insult you like that, and I don’t expect for you to do it to me either. Especially over some business deal. I take those type of comments from you, personally."
"It won’t happen again, I am sorry for it, and I regret that I said it." The girl said contritely.
The woman studied the now thoughtful girl, and then she decided to let her off the hook.
"All right, I forgive you, just don’t let it happen again."
"It won’t." Taylor said, as she looked at the woman, a sincere gaze lighting her eyes. Alex raised a brow at her and smirked.
"Come here."
The girl walked around to the other side of the counter and the woman took her in her arms, wrapping one arm around the girls waist, and the other came up to caress the girl's face, she leaned down and kissed Taylor. This time Taylor wrapped her arms around Alex's neck, which caused her to smile to herself at the action.
"Hmm....very nice." She purred at the girl, as she began kissing the girl's cheek, then moving down to her neck which caused Taylor to giggle as she hit a ticklish spot.
"I want to talk to you about your take over plans?"
"I really don’t feel like talking about business, I sort of have personal things on my mind right now, if you know what I mean?" Alex said, as she took a bit of the girl's soft neck in her mouth.
Taylor moaned as a result and began feeling lightheaded.
"Please...?" She asked weakly, her resolve fading, due to the woman’s affections that were washing over her.
Alex let go of her neck and gave her a somewhat frustrated gaze. She let go of her and walked to the kitchen table to sit down. She waited for the girl to collect herself, which took a few moments.
"Thank you, it’s just that it’s hard to think with you...well you know?"
"Hmm....yes, I know." The woman said knowingly.
"I just want to talk to you about your plans to take over my friend's company."
"I told you I don’t like mixing business with our personal lives."
"But this IS personal to me, she’s a friend of mine." Taylor said, defending her argument.
"I know she’s a friend of yours, but that has absolutely no relevance. This is business."
"So you're saying I can’t talk you into bypassing this ONE company?"
"No. And it’s not a matter of me bypassing, it’s just that if I don’t take it, then someone else will. It’s a dynamic company that is growing by leaps and bounds, and I would be a fool to just sit back and not look at this company. All of those other companies out there who are looking at Zadria’s company, are looking at it for the same reasons I am. But they may actually divide up the company and outsource many of the divisions. Who knows...they may even have economically deprived countries make the garments for a lot less, thereby being able to keep more of the profits, and getting rid of a lot of the higher paid designers. Is that what you want?"
"No, of course not, but I know when you take over a company you tend to get rid of all of the upper management. I know it makes sense when you're looking to acquire a company and cut a lot of the excess expense. I understand that, but this is different..."
"Why?"
"Because it’s a friend of mine. You're talking about taking a company that she has worked hard to build up and the minute she does, what happens, everyone wants to take it from her, and why? For no other reason than money. You don’t need another company. If you stopped right now and never took over another company, you would have enough money to live on for 5 generations. How much more money do you need?"
"It’s not that I NEED more money. This is not about anything other than I find it exhilarating, it gives me a rush, that’s why I got into business. This business in particular."
"But can’t you pass on this ONE company and look at some other one?"
"So you would rather let some other company takeover your friend's company, and put them all out of business?"
"No, but..."
"But what? I’ll make a deal with you."
"What?"
"When I take over the company, I will not let her go, and I won’t outsource any of the divisions."
"I don’t want you to take it over!" Taylor said somewhat sharply.
Alex pinched her lips together, then glared at the girl.
"Fine, you know what?! If you don’t want me to take over this company, then you come up with another way for me to get my hands on it, where I will still be pleased. Then present it to me and the other department heads!" Alex said annoyed, as she stood up to get more water out of the refrigerator.
"Me?"
"Yes you!! You don’t want me to take over the company, so you give me another way, and if I like it, then I will consider it. But, if I don’t like it, or there are too many holes in it, I am not going to be easy on you. Then I'll have those departments that need to be involved take over and get the company for me. I will keep Zadria as one of the management, but I will cut all of the other upper management personnel, is that clear?"
"Yes. But you want me to present this?"
"Yes. You will handle every aspect of it. The researching, the budgeting, the planning, the pros and cons, of both plans, and everything else. If you're able to convince me that it is a prudent alternative, then I’ll not only be very proud of you, but I’ll allow you to make more such presentations."
"And if I’m not?"
"Then I will still be proud of you for trying, but Zadria’s upper managers will be out of a job." The woman said impassively.
"And I can use any of the resources of the company?"
"Of course, I would not expect for you to actually try to do all of the budgeting and analysis by yourself. It will be up to you to bring all of them together in a cohesive matter."
"Oh, okay, and you won’t try to take over before I can make my presentation to you?"
"Why would I do that to you? Of course not, I told you to make a presentation to me, and that’s what I expect. But like I said I will not treat you any differently in that meeting. Although I will not make the sarcastic remarks as I normally would, if I thought there were too many holes in the presentation." She said with a smirk.
Taylor looked at her with both thoughtfulness and concern.
"Does it scare you? The thought of making a presentation to me in front of others?"
"No, it scares me to just make a presentation to you. I know how hard you can be."
"Then you know you have to have a nearly perfect presentation. Are you having second thoughts? You know you don’t have to, you can always just let me do what I do and look at this as just another takeover?" Alex suggested, with a studied sidelong gaze at the girl, who now was sitting across from her.
"No! No, I’m going to do this, I don’t want anyone taking over my friend's company, especially the woman whom I’m in love with. It will make her think that I condone it, and that would hurt her, I’m sure."
Alex leaned back in her chair and nodded her head thoughtfully at Taylor. The woman then smiled. She pushed her chair out and then crooked her finger and beckoned to the girl to come over to her. Taylor smiled back, with both confusion and happiness shining in her eyes. She moved out of her chair and headed over to Alex’s. The woman raised her hands to the girl's hips, and held her on each as she looked up into the eyes of the woman she loved.
"You know I hope you succeed in this, right?"
Taylor smiled, and answered with her heart.
"Yes."
Alex reached one of her hands up to the girl's cheek and guided her head down to her so that she could place a kiss on her lips. She then pulled Taylor onto her lap, just as their lips met. Taylor wrapped her arms around the woman’s neck, as she tried to return the passion that was flowing through her. Eventually she was moaning into the woman's mouth as she became overwhelmed by that passion. Finally their embrace ended and Taylor swayed while they both took in the needed air their lungs desired. Alex began kissing her on the neck, and Taylor squirmed, and commented on how much it tickled. The woman then switched between kissing the young woman’s neck and kissing her lips.
"So....are you....going to share with me tonight?" Alex asked, between kisses.
"I...I...don’t think I should just yet, especially with the project that you’ve assigned me?"
"Wait..." The woman said, stopping her activity to look at Taylor. "That project is not to affect our personal lives. If you think you can’t keep it out of this part of our lives, then I will just take the company over and forget about it, is that clear?"
"Yes, but there will be times when some of it will spill over, just a little, I won’t let it affect our personal relationship too much."
"You're already letting it, by not coming to my bed because of it." Alex pointed out.
"I didn’t mean for it to sound like I didn’t want to share your bed with you. I just meant that you make it hard for me to concentrate on anything else when you touch me. I know that when I do come to your bed, I don’t want to have this on my mind. I’m not able to clear my mind of things like you're able to."
"Well, I understand that, but I will not allow you to let it interfere with us." Alex said, giving her a knowing look.
"I understand."
"Good, now let’s go change into our night clothes, and then we can relax in the den for a while?"
"Okay." Taylor said, as she stood up. Alex came to her feet and wrapped her arm around the girl's shoulder and the two of them went to change into their night clothes.
After they had changed, they went into the den and lit a fire in the fireplace. Alex began caressing Taylor's arm as she laid on her side and the girl on her back.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked, noticing the intermittent knitting of the girl's brows.
"Oh, I was just thinking about how I was going to handle my duties as your P.A and have the time to do the research for the project?"
"What about it?"
Taylor shifted her eyes over to look up at Alex and saw she had a brow slightly raised.
"That’s all right, I shouldn’t have brought it up right now." Taylor said quickly, to avoid upsetting the woman.
"No, it’s all right, it’s a legitimate concern. So what do you propose?" Alex asked, as her fingers moved to the girl’s buttoned top, and she began to unfasten the buttons one at a time. Taylor's mind fluctuated between trying to think of how to resolve her Personal Assistant dilemma, and that of her rising desire and fear as to where things were leading to at the moment with Alex unfastening her top. The woman saw Taylor's uncertainty, but she already knew what she would do, so she continued to unfasten the buttons as she waited for the girl to think of how to resolve her problem. Alex saw the mark she had put on Taylor’s breast and a smile curled her lips.
"Ma...may...maybe you can have Salina take over for a while, until I finish with this other project?"
"Hmm....do you think that is a good idea? I mean you know she wants this position. And with you almost handing it to her on a silver plate, how could she not want to keep it even when your done with your project?"
"Well, I guess I will leave it up to you to decide whether she deserves to keep the position?"
"I created the position for you. I let you remain in it because you're good and I TRUST you. I don’t trust her."
"Then why keep her around?"
"She’s good at her job, and she liked to flirt with me."
"What?" Taylor said, rolling to balance on one elbow, so as to face the woman.
"Yes, Actually it was quite entertaining."
"Does she still flirt with you?"
"Yes, all the time."
"And what do you tell her these days when she does that?"
"Nothing. She doesn't need to know my business outside of those things that are specific to work."
"But, she probably thinks you're interested in her?"
"Why would she think that? I have made no moves to encourage her into thinking that. In fact, she already believes I’m involved with some man, but she doesn’t care. Do you know why she tries to entice me?"
"Because she likes you, or wants you?"
"Wants me, yes, lusts after me, yes, likes me, no. But she also sees it as a way to get a recommendation into the Junior Executive Program."
"Oh, so she’s trying to get a leg up, excuse the pun, by getting involved with the boss?"
"Right."
" But your the founder of that program, you can put anyone in it you choose without them having to work for you, and she has to know that it wouldn’t have much of an effect with you in business because of how you so adamantly keep business and personal separate."
"True, but she thinks that if she can seduce me, then maybe I will change my stance on that."
"So you’ve spoken to her about her behavior?"
"Actually she brought it up. She wanted to know what I had planned for after work one day, and I asked her why?"
"What did she say?"
"She wanted to know if I wanted to go and have a few drinks with her."
"And did you?"
"No, of course not. I told her I had a business dinner."
"Was she disappointed?"
"Of course. She had plans, and I sort of blew those plans out of the water."
"With your business dinner?"
"Right." Alex said, not letting on that she really had no business dinner, she just didn’t want to go out with the woman.
"Hmm...does she still try?"
"Yes, in fact just recently she asked me if we went on vacation together. I of course told her that what I do in my personal life is none of her business, and I believe if I make her my Personal Assistant, then she will think that I am interested in her advances. Not to mention how she will have to be around me most of the time."
"I’m glad to hear you told her that. So you really think she will think that?"
"Yes, wouldn’t you if you were her? Which by the way I’m ecstatic that you're not her, and you have nothing in common with her."
"I guess I would. Well what do you suggest?"
"No, what do you suggest?"
"Put the position on hold until I return to it, and just continue to use Salina as your admin assist?"
"Hmm....but I’ve really come to depend on you to handle a lot of things now." Alex said, as she unfastened another button, thereby exposing the girl's cleavage more.
"I know, but maybe I can still help with the mail and those calls?"
"That would help."
"Okay, then I’ll continue to help with the mail. Also, I don’t know if your going to agree with this or not, but I hope you will?"
"What is it?" The woman now said, as she was down to the last few buttons and Taylor's top and her breasts were now becoming more open and exposed.
"What do you think about me having my own...."
"I don’t think I’m going to like what comes after that."
"Well...it’ll only be for a short time...maybe?"
"What will?" Alex asked pointedly, just as the girl's top dropped open, exposing the already excited breast and it’s peak. The woman’s breathing shallowed as she admired the sight while still listening to the now rapidly breathing girl. Swallowing with some difficulty, Taylor continued to talk, although her mind was slowly being drained of coherent thought.
"I...I...th...thought maybe I could have my...my own office?"
Alex cocked her head, while raising a brow at the girl. She then gave a light push to the girl so that she was laying on her back, with her top open. "What do you think my answer will be?" She asked, as she slowly lowered her head down, while at the same time looking into the girl's eyes.
Taylor’s breathing was now faster and her heart was trying to beat out of her chest once again. Her body showing the blush as well as her face.
"I don’t know...Yes?"
"Think again."
"Aww...but I need somewhere to make the private phone calls, and things like that."
"Then I will make a space for you in MY office." Alex said, as she then flicked her tongue over one of the already taut peaks.
"AHH! Ohhh..." Taylor shivered, as her mind went blank at whatever the last thing the woman had said.
Alex shivered in response to Taylor. She repeated the action, and again the girl shivered and let out a gasp of air, as her fingers dug into the carpet covered floor. The woman focused on the art of persuasion. She wanted the girl to come to her bed. She ran her tongue over the peak and Taylor shuddered, as a result, and jerked involuntarily out from under the woman’s stimulating actions. Alex rested her head on her hand as she balanced herself on her elbow, her eyes watched the girl. Taylor was completely unnerved Struggling to catch her breath and compose herself.
"Do I disturb you that much?" Alex asked her.
"I...I...I...goodness! "
"Do you want to be my lover?"
"Yes." The girl managed to gasp out.
"Then your going to have to stop running from me. Come back over here, I'm not going to bite...not unless you want me to?" She said seductively.
Taylor almost choked as a result of the woman’s provocative words. She moved back over to where the woman was, although she was holding her top closed subconsciously. Alex looked at her hand, and then back up into her eyes.
"Okay, maybe I moved a little fast with that, how about if I slow it down a bit. I’ll just caress them for a while, is that okay?"
"I...I..."
"Good, here, lay back down."
"I...I..."
"Come on." She coaxed, as she patted the area right in front of her.
Taylor was flushed from the excitement and fear of not knowing how to handle the sensations she was feeling. She eased back over and laid back down.
"Okay, you have to move your hand." Taylor hesitated at first.
"Look, I am quite worked up right now, and I’m trying to take this slow enough for you to handle, but you're not working with me on this. I just want to love all of the young woman I am in love with, not just your intellect." Alex said sincerely, as she gently moved the girl's hand away from the top.
The top hung open, but the breasts were still covered enough to where the peaks were not seen. The woman brought her hand up to Taylor's cheek, and she lowered her lips to the girl’s and once again kissed her. Taylor wrapped her arms around the woman’s neck and pulled her closer. Alex heard her begin to moan and slowly let her hand glide down the girl’s neck onto her chest. She slipped her fingers under the blouse, and slipped it off of Taylor's shoulder. The girl trembled, but whether it was from the change in temperature, or from being exposed in such a way, she couldn’t tell. The woman continued to kiss her as her hand moved back to the girl's neck, and then slowly back down to the girl's bare breast. She lifted her lips away from the girl’s, and whispered in a velvety voice.
"Don’t jump, just let your body enjoy the feel of my touch, as much as I enjoy the feel of your body. Relax, I would never hurt you, you know that right?" She moved lightly over one of the girl's warm breasts.
"Ye...yes." Taylor stammered.
The touch was electric, and she shivered as a result, but she did not jerk away, instead her breathing became slightly labored as she tried to relax. Alex’s hand started out being exploratory, but soon it began to be more firm, as she kneaded the soft flesh in her hand. Taylor moaned louder, and Alex’s own breathing was now becoming more rapid. She covered the girl’s lips once again, this time the kiss was more intense. The girl moaned and began whimpering as the woman’s hand kneaded it’s way up to her peak. At first she just glided over it, but then she felt the girl’s body jump impulsively, and her chest arched into the touch. Alex captured the peak between her fingers and rolled, squeezed, pinched, and pulled at it as she felt the tightening of it in her fingers. She moaned and lifted her mouth from the girl's once again. She moved her mouth to whisper in the girl’s ear, and in a husky, velvety voice, she said to Taylor.
"I’d like to feel this in my mouth."
"Yes." Taylor managed to reply.
Alex kissed her again, hard and passionately, then moved to take the requested peak into her mouth. She licked around it for a few minutes and Taylor was gripping whatever her hands touched, in this case it was the carpet once again. She squirmed with each touch of the woman’s tongue on her, and Alex felt Taylor’s trembling.
"Ahh!!" Was all she could manage when Alex sucked the peak into her mouth and began feasting on the large, delectable tip.
Suddenly!! The girl’s back arched and her mouth opened as if to speak, but nothing came out except a strangled sound. Her body went rigid, and Alex heard her breath catch in her throat. The woman was so excited by the fact that Taylor had reached ecstasy from her touches, that she removed her mouth from the peak, and moved once more to cover the girl's mouth with her own. Alex’s body also reacted to what was happening with the girl’s, and out of pure excitement her own body sang along with the younger woman’s, and she too experienced the rapture. Both women were flooded by blissful ecstasies that neither of them had ever experienced before. When Taylor’s finally ended, she fell limply back to the carpeted floor. Her breathing labored. Meanwhile, Alex’s was just ending and once it did she laid heavily on top of the girl. Taylor had tears rolling down between her closed lashes, and Alex happened to lift her head enough to be able to see them. Her own eyes misted and she rolled to her back bringing the girl with her. She held her and whispered words of love and devotion to her. Taylor hugged tightly to the woman and eventually, after her breathing returned to normal, she drifted off. The woman smiled and then she too drifted off.
