Page 29 of Holiday Hook-Up
Getting my sweats and shirt back on, I opened the door to find two restaurant employees each pulling full carts. “Because you know me already,” I answered, leading them to bring their carts to the glass dining table. I rummaged in my pocket for my wallet, tipping them well, then beckoned for Emerald to come join me.
“You need sustenance for the plans I have today,” I said lowering my voice, watching her arrange her feet under her butt in the chair. I uncovered plates of pancakes stacked with butter and syrup, omelets filled with cheese, pastries stuffed with chocolate and jams, bacon and sausages. Everything smelled delicious and my stomach took that moment to let out a loud growl.
“Plans, huh? I can hardly wait to find out.” She looked over the spread, picking up a piece of bacon and nibbling the end.
“Eat up, Emerald. Fill a plate,” I pleaded.
“Okay, okay,” she said, grabbing an empty plate and loading it with a bit of everything. I smiled and poured us some coffee.
Between bites she asked, “What’s the plan for today?”
Mmm… I had so many things I wanted to do. “I was thinking we could go back to the club. We missed checking out a few things, specifically in the playroom.”
Her hand stopped midway as she brought her fork to her mouth and she pinned me with an intense gaze. “I-I’d like that. We should really make sure we check out the whole space before the transfer, preferably alone with the doors locked.”
“I agree. I have some Christmas ribbon tying to practice,” I sipped my coffee to moisten my gravelly throat. Emerald’s cheeks flushed and she nibbled her bottom lip. It would take a lot of willpower to wait until we got to the club to have my way with her. She was so damn sexy.
“Speaking of the club,” she said between bites, “I agree with Eliza’s ideas about changing certain suites to VIP, and making them available for more than twenty-four hours. That place has a lot of potential. I took some mental notes and when I get a second I’ll jot down all my ideas.”
“Perfect, I’d love to hear them. Eliza seems like the way to go for management. Do you agree? Normally I don’t have much to do with hiring, but meeting her and seeing her passion for the place sold me.”
“I feel the same way. I’d love to sit in on your meeting and hear her ideas. We could set up a brainstorming session for this week.”
We chatted about the club and some of Emerald’s ideas to spruce up the place. I loved watching her passion come through when she spoke of the industry. Whether it was a boutique hotel or a sex club, she had ideas and wanted to help create the best possible guest experience.
We finished eating, both stuffed to the brim, and brought our coffee cups over to the couch.
“I’ll have to go grab my suitcase in a few minutes. Don’t worry, I’ll bring it over here to shower and change,” she added after I gave her my overbearing look. “I don’t think I’ve fully processed what happened with Darius last night. Did you mean what you said to him? That he was done here?”
I tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear. “I’ve never been so serious about anything in my life. I’d already planned to talk to Woods about him after the holiday, but after last night it can’t wait. I’ll make a call and get it settled.”
She closed her eyes and she rested her head on my shoulder. “Thank you. I know I won’t be working here much longer if all goes to plan, but after this weekend, I didn’t feel safe being in the same building as him anymore.”
“While it’s fresh in my mind, I’ll leave a message for Woods. It’s still early and Christmas, but I have a feeling he’s the type of guy who checks his phone often. Why don’t you relax and finish your coffee?” She nodded, and I pushed up to find my phone where I’d silenced it and plugged it in the night before.
As expected, my screen was overrun with messages. Christmas didn’t stop the business world, not for long at least. Sliding my thumb to open the screen, the first thing my eyes fixed on was a text from Aiden.
Hey man. Sorry to send this to you on Xmas but I woke up to a shitstorm. Someone sent this out and it’s made its way to corporate. Every inbox in the company. Lmk wtf we should do to make this disappear.
From a friend standpoint, way to go buddy. She’s hot. Glad you finally got some action.
What the fuck was going on? I glanced back at Emerald, happily sipping her coffee and flipping through a magazine that the hotel had set up on the table. Under Aiden’s message was a link to click. Did he get hacked and this was some spam shit that would break my phone? My chest tightened and I paced the length of the bedroom. That message sounded very much like Aiden.Fuck.I clicked the link and a video popped up. Me and Emerald in the gym. No fucking way. There was no denying it was us with how crisp the quality was. I watched while my pulse pounded as Emerald took my cock into her mouth and sucked me off. Our entire encounter was there, in color video, from the moment she sat on the bench to the moment we walked out of the gym together.
“I need to make a call,” I said, closing the bedroom door before Emerald responded.
What the hell was I going to do?
I dialed Aiden and he picked up on the first ring. “I’ve been waiting for you to get back to me all morning you prick,” he said. “I bet you were busy with that redhead. Lucky bastard.”
“Aiden, get it together man. What the fuck is going on? How’d you get that video?” I tried to keep my voice low, but the words came out in a growl.
“Deep breaths. Let me check again.” He went silent, likely swiping back to his emails. “Okay, it says it came from a ‘Gary Woods’. Wait, is that the manager at the hotel you’re at?”
“Woods? There’s no way. I know that guy, and this is not his move. When was it sent?”
“Last night around midnight,” he responded. I groaned, knowing exactly who was responsible for this. “If it wasn’t Woods, who was it?”
“A piece of shit, that’s who. Fuck. Let me call my lawyer. This needs to get taken care of before a full-blown scandal erupts.”
