Cassie has never been more nervous than she is right now. Everything about this was so intense! She's watching her new boss read her story. She couldn't read him, whether he was enjoying it or not. His face remained completely blank.
It must have been an hour. An hour of just staring at his face to find any sign of like or dislike. She messed with the hem of her dress. Actually, his face wasn't so bad to look at for an hour. He was...eerily hot. He must have been in his mid to late forties, but...not bad.
"Okay," he said, making her jump, "I like it. A lot. There are some things that need to be tweaked, but I really like it. Seeing as I am your editor, I will fix what I think needs to be fixed and we'll work from there."
Cassie smiled and said, "Thank you so much! Is there anything you need me to do in the meantime?" He nodded and said, "Yeah...write a sequel." She was internally screaming and jumping for joy.
He already thinks I need a sequel?? I can't wait to tell Ben! She stood up from her chair and shook his hand. "Thank you so much, Mr. Morgan." He shook her hand and said, "My pleasure, Cassie. I look forward to working with a fellow Californian. We'll have to get a coffee, swap some stories."
She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I would love that. Unfortunately, I'll be a little busy these next couple months planning my wedding." He slowly nodded, then said, "You're getting married. Shame. Anyways, we'll plan a lunch sometime."
"Um...yeah, sure," she said. Did he just say it was a shame that I was getting married? That's...okay, wow. "Well, I should get back to the house and work on that sequel. I'll see you tomorrow." He gave her a charming smile and said, "See you tomorrow. I'll give you a call if we need to discuss anything."
She gave her final goodbye and walked out of the building with a smile. She caught a cab and got home in just a few minutes. Ben wasn't home from school yet, so she had to contain her excitement from today.
To help her energy, she decided to continue to unpack the boxes. She hung up pictures in the living room, her and Ben's diplomas in the entry hall, then set up their record player in the living room and neatly placed all their records on a shelf next to it.
She unpacked kitchen appliances like their cups and bowls and pans. By the time she heard Ben's car pull up, there were only a few boxes left. "Hey, baby, I'm...wow, looks like you were busy," he said as he walked in and looked around.
He went up to her and placed a kiss on her lips, but was caught in surprise when she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another one. He hummed in approval and wrapped his arms around her.
"Good day?" He asked with a sigh as she kissed down his neck. "Very good," she mumbled against his skin, as she started to get on her knees. He immediately dropped his bag to the floor and weaved his fingers through her hair as she unbuckled his jeans.
He bit his lip and took a deep breath. "Must have been a very good day," he said in a hoarse voice. "I can't wait to hear all about it." He started to lightly pant when she pulled down his jeans and boxers. He was already half hard for her.
She started to slowly stroke him, making him hiss. "I got published today," she said, before licking a stripe up his shaft. He let out a long groan, while saying, "God, baby, seriously? That's bloody amazing, I'm - ugh, yes - so...so proud of...fuck that feels good."
His knees almost buckled when she took him all the way into her mouth. "Oh, Cass, that...oh, I love your mouth. Shouldn't I be the one rewarding you here?" She popped him out of her mouth, then stroked him as she said, "You can return the favor after. I've been craving your cock all day."
That nearly made him come right there. He loves it when she talks dirty. "You and that filthy mouth of yours are going to make me come," he groaned. "I'm almost there, baby, I'm so close. Just...right..."
His mouth opened, but no noise came out as he came into her mouth. He looked down, but saw her spit it out. "Oh, shit, sorry," he panted. "All I've had to drink today is coffee. Had I known you were going to do this, I might've had something sweeter."
He got down on his knees in front of her and kissed her. "Bloody hell, I really do taste awful," he grumbled. He ran his hand down her hair and said, "Darling, I can't believe you're getting published! This is so amazing, I'm so proud of you."
She smiled at him and said, "I've been dying to tell you for hours now. I tried to take all my engird out on packing, but...I guess I just needed something a little more exciting." With a sly smile, he gently pushed her on her back.
"Well then, let me release the rest of that energy for you," he purred, as he slowly pulled down her sweatpants. He didn't waste any time planting his mouth on her folds and licking her out. She ran her fingers through his cropped hair and gripped it tight.
He moaned against her and sucked harder. "Ben," she gasped. "Oh, you're so good at this." She rocked her hips up to meet his face. She moaned, then said, "I'm also signing on for a - shit, right there -...a sequel."
Ben took his mouth off of her for a moment and looked at her. "My God, Cass, I'm so in love with you." He went back down and sank three fingers into her. She screamed out and bucked up her hips.
He's done this enough times to know when she's close, so when he felt her thighs squeeze his head, murmured against her, "Come for me, baby, come on." She came just a moment later and he lapped up her heavenly tasting juices.
He hummed as he did, then said, "You taste much better than I do, darling." He gave her a hard kiss. "A sequel," he said, "already and you're not even officially published yet. You are amazing, love. So bloody brilliant."
He kissed her again and again and again. "This is so much to take in," she told him. "I just...it's all coming so fast. The wedding, my job, it's...so fast, Ben." He pulled her in for a hug and held her tight.
"Darling, these are all good things," he said. "You're kicking life in the arse and I can't bloody express how proud I am. You take this and you run with it, just go and don't fucking stop. You understand me? You deserve all of this, Cassie."
They kissed for a few minutes and Ben started rubbing his hard again member against her folds. "Oh, no, Ben," she quickly said, "I accidentally skipped a couple days of my birth control. I just got so caught up with work, I forgot."
He kissed her again, then said, "Come on, it's just a couple days. What's the worst that can happen?"
