Page 51 of Pure Recklessness

I swallowed hard.

I really wished he’d start talking soon. I desperately needed a distraction.

‘So, did you read one of our books?’ he asked, still staring at his screen.

‘I read three. One paperback and two audiobooks,’ I replied proudly. I could’ve easily listened to more. The male narrator’s voice was so sexy. No wonder I’d had to use the toys.

I’d heard someone in the press office say that Sated’s raison d’être was to give its customers multiple orgasms. And now I could confirm with absolute certainty that the mission had been accomplished.

Mr Devlin’s gaze snapped in my direction and when his eyes met mine, a jolt of electricity shot straight to my pussy.

‘Good,’ he said. ‘Which book did you enjoy the most?’

‘Office Delight, by D.D. Desire. It had a good plot as well as lots of… spice.’ It made the books I was used to reading seem like nursery rhymes. ‘And I liked that it was an office romance…’ My voice trailed off as another flashback of Mr Devlin gripping his dick invaded my brain.

‘What did you like about that particular element?’ he pressed.

‘The fact that it was forbidden.’ I bit my lip. ‘It made everything more… exciting.’

Mr Devlin held my gaze and it was as if his piercing blue eyes were staring straight into my soul.

The silence stretched between us.

Tingles raced between my legs.

I wondered what he was thinking right now.

Whatever it was had to be more innocent than the illicit thoughts racing through my brain.

Honestly, I felt like a completely different person to the woman who was sat in this office a week ago who had zero interest in sex. The transformation was frightening. But I challenged anyone to see a man like Mr Devlin naked in the shower, then enjoy as many orgasms as I had whilst listening to Sated’s audiobooks and using their sex toys, and not become obsessed with wanting more.

‘That’s the advantage of reading books. Issues are resolved and there are no long-lasting consequences. The same can’t be said for real life. A relationship between a boss and junior employee or any employee is forbidden at Sated.’

‘Of course.’ I nodded.

‘What’s your status with the app proposal?’

‘I’ve made good progress.’ I sat up straighter. ‘Obviously I’ll go into more detail when I do the full presentation, but I started by doing some competitor analysis. There are more companies offering this kind of app than I originally thought. But I believe that Sated’s app could blow them all out of the water. You have a lot more resources. And like I mentioned last week, you have other products that would be ideal for cross promotion.’

‘Refresh my memory.’ Mr Devlin leant forward.

‘Well, listening to these kinds of stories is very… stimulating.’ Heat flooded my cheeks. ‘So I’m sure members would appreciate the opportunity to buy products to maximise the experience. Certain membership levels would entitle them to order the company’s toys at a preferential price to help them… orgasm.’

I squirmed in my seat. Saying the word ‘orgasm’ in front of my boss still felt weird, but I was grateful that at least Mr Devlin wasn’t aware that he’d unwittingly helped me to have so many of them in my fantasies this weekend.

Now that would’ve been even more awkward.

‘Yes.’ He nodded without even batting an eyelid about the fact that I’d used the ‘O’ word. ‘Now I remember. Good.’

My chest inflated. I’d said something right for a change.

‘We could do it for the lingerie too, but I think customers would get the most enjoyment from the toys.’

‘The lingerie…’ His voice trailed off and his jaw tightened before relaxing again. ‘This is a promising start. Keep going. Clearly familiarising yourself with our books helped,’ he said as I pushed my chair back and stood up ready to leave. Now that I’d had a few meetings with him, I knew when he was dismissing me before he even said it.

‘Thank you and yes, the books, especially the audiobooks, really helped. The toys did, too. Please pass on my compliments to the research and development team. You were right. The new Lip-Stick doesn’t just make you feel tickety-boo. The experience is transcendent…’ A small, mischievous smile touched my lips and Mr Devlin’s eyes widened.

I turned, then strutted out of his office feeling ten-feet tall.
