Page 6 of Whispers in the Dark

“Are you wet for me?”

“Yes,” she told me, then started to whimper as I moved my hand higher to check for myself.

She hadn’t been lying, and sliding my hands inside her panties, I ran two fingers through her slit. Still holding her against me, I teased her for a few moments before slowly inserting three fingers inside of her. Immediately, my cock hardened. She was also so damn tight, wet, and hot.

I knew what she wanted, and even more so, needed. Crushing her tighter against my chest with one hand, I kept the other between her legs. She was moving, practically riding my hand. “I know what you like,” I whispered into her ear, getting a garbled response from her. “Knowing you are aching for me while here pleases me very much. I want you to hurt, Karma. I like seeing how badly you want me, especially because I know that only I can make the pain go away.”

My fingers were moving more steadily as I ate at her ear. It wouldn’t take much longer, and when her lower body began bucking against me, I intensified my efforts. “Please,” she pleaded as her walls convulsed around my fingers.

“In three... two... one...” I paused at that moment so I could press my thumb against her clit. “Come,” I ordered as I furiously began to rub my thumb over her clit.

Brynn came for me, and it was a thing of beauty. I continued staring at the window as night settled in, and her needyreflection met mine in the glass. We stayed that way for several seconds before I backed away and pulled my hands away from her. When she turned toward me, I slowly licked her juices from my fingers. When done, I looked at her, then over my shoulder at the door.

“I’ll see you on Monday morning, Brynn. Don’t forget to tell the doorman I intend to be here for several more hours.”

I then walked into the bathroom to wash my hands. When I returned, she was gone. From my office, and even from her own desk. I took a seat back at mine, then went back to work.

4.Brynn

As the weeks passed, I began to feel more comfortable at Benedict Technologies. Not so much around Adrian, but with the rhythm of the office and the workflow. I had also made a few social connections, which made me feel better.

In addition to Andi, I had become friendly with Colin, Steph, and a few others. Everyone was very nice and welcoming, though they were very careful not to linger at my desk or take up too much of my time. There seemed to be an unspoken rule that Adrian didn’t like time to be wasted. He didn’t care if people were friendly and talked in the office, of course, but the main purpose was to work.

The man had a lot of work, too. I had no idea how he kept up with it all. So many time zones, contacts, and languages. I considered myself lucky when he would signal me to stay while he was on a call. He would give me a translation unit so I could monitor the meeting and take notes. Hearing him speak rapid-fire Japanese like a native gave me a whole new level of respect for the man. Not to mention, it was hot as fuck.

“Hey, Brynn, you’re still going to help us with the office Halloween party, right?”

I looked up to see Colin and Andi smiling at me expectantly. I nodded. “Of course. I love that sort of thing. What have you guys done in the past?”

A look passed between the two. “Um, basically a catered lunch and a Halloween themed dessert. Some people would wear costumes, but that was about it.”

I was shocked. Halloween was kind of a big deal at my old company. I had plans. Boy, did I have plans.

“Okay,” I started. “Costume contests are a must. We can have individual and department themed if there are enough entrants, so sign-ups are necessary. Halloween dessert contest. Pumpkin carving contest. We’ll need judges for that. Oh! And maybe we can put together some games for prizes? We’ll see what HR will allow…”

“Oh my god, that all sounds so great. Can we meet after work and go over details?” Andi asked.

We made arrangements to meet up closer to my place at a dog-friendly restaurant, so I had time to pick up Lug Nut. I missed him during the week now that I wasn’t working from home anymore. He had adjusted to the new schedule well, but I still wanted to spend time with him.

Adrian appeared at my desk well before the end of the day, letting me know he would be out for the remainder of the afternoon.

“Is everything alright, Sir?”

“Of course,” he replied, somewhat impatiently. “Why would you think otherwise?”

“It’s just unusual for you to leave so early in the day. I wanted to make sure you weren’t ill. Is there anything I may do for you while you are out?” I said, smoothly transitioning.

“If you can just finish up the notes from the Cleckner meeting, that should be it. After, you can go get an early start on the weekend, Brynn.”

He took two steps and paused, then turned to face me once more. “You’ve done good work this week. Thank you.”

Before I could say a word in response, he was gone, leaving me stunned. There was nothing I wanted more than to please that man and he knew it. I didn’t think anything could make me feel better than getting praise at Lotus, but here… good god.

I finished the meeting notes, proofed and edited three times, then emailed them to him. My way of editing was to start at the end and read backwards so my brain would not automatically insert words that might not be there. I caught more errors that way and the majority of the time, my work was perfect when I sent it to Adrian.

It was late when Lug Nut and I made it home. Colin, Andi, and I had hammered out the ideas for the Halloween office party and they would all work within the provided budget. Apparently, I was now part of the office Culture Committee, so for the foreseeable future, I would be recruited to coordinate outings, holiday parties, special days, and any other ideas we could come up with to help the staff feel like they mattered. I liked doing that sort of thing, so it wasn’t a big deal.

After changing into a comfortable pair of lounge pants and a T-shirt, I settled on the couch with a glass of wine and pulled open the volume of Blair’s diary I had been reading. I was learning more about the man at Lotus she had apparently caught feelings for.
