That was why, instead of sitting in one of the chairs in front of Alex’s desk, Kari walked behind his desk and sat on his lap.
She was a small woman, but her plop down was heavy. But even with that heaviness, as soon as her tight ass touched hispenis he went hard. It never failed. He’d had more women than he’d ever admit, but no one had ever turned him on as easily as Kari could.
But Kari knew what was next. As soon as she sat on his lap, Emily suddenly got in a hurry. “I’d better get back to work,” Emily said as she began to leave.
“Yeah I thought so,” Kari replied, causing Emily to glance back at her as she briskly left the office.
Alex looked at his wife. “Was that little comment necessary?”
“Yes, it was necessary!” She began moving from side to side so that the chair could swivel, but in so doing she was swiveling his arousal too. “I’m tired of these women behaving as if I don’t exist. As if you aren’t married. And from here on out I’m calling it out every time I see it. Particularly since my husband,” she added as she turned and looked at him, “act like he can’t tell a hoe when he sees one. Since he keeps giving them a pass over and over again.”
They stared at each other momentarily. They had issues of their own still unresolved, and that wasn’t helping.
“Get up,” he said as he took her by the hips and forced her up. “I’ve got work to do.”
“You had work to do when Emily was in here with her fake trail of tears,” Kari said as she stood up, “but that didn’t stop you from listening to her.”
Alex frowned. “What was fake about her tears? Her son is drug-addicted, Kari. That’s a fact. She needed to vent.”
“Then let her ass vent with me! Or with one of the other female supervisors. Why she always got to be all up in your face? Why she have to take it all the way to the top?” Then her looked turned worried as she stood on the side of his desk. “Why do you let her?”
Alex let out a hard exhale. “I’ve known her and Stan for a very long time.”
“Here we go.”
“That’s why!” he said angrily.
Then he calmed himself back down. He could tell Kari regretted her little scene. She always did. And he knew he was the reason she was becoming so suspicious of every little thing. “You okay?”
She wasn’t, but she nodded. “I will be.”
Alex inwardly smiled. “Are you going to apologize to her?”
Kari frowned. “Hell no!”
He laughed. “I’m just messing with you. You know I knew the answer to that!”
Kari couldn’t help but smile too. She truly loved that man although he gave her fits sometimes. She didn’t trust those bitches and hoes who kept coming for him, that was for sure, but she trusted him. “We’re in danger of losing our Diamond status because of a spat of bad reviews lately.”
She was willing to move on, which he appreciated. “Yes, I’m aware.”
“Mostly it’s coming from Housekeeping, which is my territory.” Kari slanted her dark-brown hair off of her forehead. “We need help from outside. I have hundreds of supervisors on staff and half of them aren’t doing their jobs. I can’t police each and every one of them.”
“I told you to get more help long ago. But you insisted you could do it. By all means get help.”
Kari nodded. “I just wanted to let you know there may be some mass firings that won’t look good initially.”
“Do what you have to do,” Alex said. But when he looked at her, he could see the anxiety on her face. When they first met she owned a tiny cleaning service. When sheagreed to work for him at his brand-new hotel and casino, she became the head of the housekeeping department. The hotel and casino had expanded exponentially since then, and she was still the department head. She was still certain that a hotel with an excellent housekeeping department was a hotel people would book return visits time and time again. Clean rooms, she believed, were more important than A list celebrity performers or even great food. It began with the rooms. And great housekeeping had always been one of the keys to their great success. But now it was a drag on that success.
“Come here,” he said to her.
“I’m okay.”
Kari could be hard as nails, and even harder on herself, and Alex knew it. “I didn’t say you weren’t okay. Come here.”
When she moved over to his side, he pulled her down onto his lap in a cradling position. She smiled. It reminded her of the way he used to dip her when they were dancing. Although they hadn’t gone dancing in a very long time.
But Alex was staring at her with all seriousness. “You worry too much,” he said to her.
