Seducing My Assistant (6 page)

“I’m going now. Good night, Scott.”

“Good night, Elizabeth. Have sweet dreams of me.”

***

"What are we doing, Lacey?" I groaned as we dumped our suitcases into the back of my car. "Are we crazy for going to Henry's this weekend?"

"Yes." She squeaked out as she got into the car. "We are certifiably crazy."

"We are, aren't we?" I groaned as I closed my car door and started the ignition. "Do we really want to spend the weekend with Scott and Henry? I feel like this could be a really bad idea."

"Bad ideas aren't always the worst thing." She grinned. "Sometimes they are the best things that could ever happen to someone."

"Do you think we'll be feeling that way by the end of the weekend?"

"Honestly?" Lacey looked at me and grinned.

"Yes, honestly," I wiggled my eyebrows at her, feeling light-headed and happy. I was excited to see Scott, though I was still feeling slightly anxious about everything.

"Most probably not." She groaned. "I've got a feeling Henry James is bad news. I told you what he said to me the night of the party I waitressed right? How he pulled me into that room?"

“I remember everything you told me.” I giggled as I winked at her. “And I remember that you had a hot dream about him the very next day as well.”

“Don’t remind me.” She groaned even louder this time. “What am I doing? I’m pretty sure all he wants is sex. And a good time.”

"And yet, you still want to see him again." I said smoothly, giving her a wicked grin. I wanted to tell her that good sex was worth any and all heartache, but I wasn’t sure if I really believed that.

"He's so sexy." She moaned into her hands. "He's the hottest guy I've ever met in my life. I just don’t even know what I’m doing. I’m not that sort of girl, but honestly after Steven, I feel like I just need to have done fun."

"Steven was a jerk." I said, my stomach churning suddenly as a worried feeling hit me. "Maybe we shouldn't go? Maybe we should just go somewhere else? Do something else?"

"Where would you like to go instead?" She sounded a bit put out and I knew that she felt the same way that I did. We didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into this weekend, but we also didn’t care. I knew that I was willing to accept whatever was going to happen. I was done with letting my fears dictate whatever was going to happen in my life. I wanted to see Scott. I wanted to see him badly. I wanted to touch him and taste him. I only hoped I wouldn’t let me worries ruin anything.

“No where else.” I admitted with a laugh. “I want to see Scott.” I groaned. “Oh my God, what are we doing? Are we getting ourselves involved in some big game here? Are we making a big mistake?”

“I don’t know.” She said and then started laughing loudly.

“What’s so funny?” I asked her suspiciously as she continued laughing her head off.

“I just thought of something.” She caught her breath and giggled some more.

“What?” I asked her curiously, wondering what could have her in such a fit of giggles.

“Well...” Her voice drifted off and she made a face.

“Tell me what you’re thinking, Lacey.”

“I’m thinking that I’m down for whatever games, Henry wants to play with me.” She rubbed her hands together. “I’m thinking you were right. He could be an excellent resource for
Play the Player
.”

“Oh Lacey.” I grinned at her. “Since when did you get to be so bad?”

“Since I met you years ago?” She winked at me and I could tell that she was maybe even more excited than I was for the weekend. Henry James had really gotten under her skin.

“Touché.” I laughed. “Well played, pun intended.”

“Let’s get this party started.” Lacey leaned forward and turned the radio on. She then turned the volume up as a Lady Gaga song started playing and we sang along to the music, both of us feeling light-hearted. Shane and my dad were still in the back of my mind, but I was determined not to let them ruin my weekend. Or how I felt about Scott. I was still worried that my feelings for Scott were based on sexual attraction and that I couldn’t really trust what I felt for him or what he wanted from me, but I didn’t want to make any decisions based on how my dad and Shane had messed me up in the head. I knew, when I was in bed late at night, that a lot of my issues were a consequence of my relationships with them. They had made me doubt my self-worth and my belief in true love. They had cut me so deeply that even now I had a hard time moving on. Even now, sometimes I had a hard time breathing and accepting that anyone could love me. I knew, in my head, and in my heart that I shouldn’t let them affect how I saw myself, but for some reason I couldn’t stop. For some reason, I couldn’t get them and their treatment of me out of my head and psyche. They’d broken me, but they hadn’t completely destroyed me. I still had hope. I realized that the night Scott called me after Shane had left. I still had hope. I could still laugh. I could still feel excited. Scott still gave me nerves in my stomach. I wanted a chance to explore that. I wanted a chance to see what there could be between us. I wanted to see what we could have without my second-guessing everything. I didn’t know if that was going to be possible, but I wanted to give it a chance. As good of a chance as I could, at least. A part of me knew that I loved him and I was scared that if I didn’t give myself the chance to really love him, I’d lose him forever.

Chapter Five

Scott

“Xander, stop it.” My sister Liv giggled as she hit her husband in the arm. “You’re disgusting.”

“I’m not disgusting. I’m Mr. Miracle Tongue.” He teased her and we all groaned.

“Xander, please.” I spoke up and grinned at my brother-in-law, who was also Henry’s brother. “I really don’t want to think of you and my sister in that way.”

“I’m sure.” He laughed. “So where’s your girl?”

“Elizabeth is not my girl.” I said quickly, hoping that my family members wouldn’t say anything to her that would scare her off when she arrived. I knew that I loved her, and they most probably knew that I loved her from the way I always talked about her, but I wasn’t sure that she knew exactly how deep my feelings were for her. “She’s on her way with Lacey. I guess they should be here soon.” I glanced at my watch again, for what seemed like the tenth time in the last hour. I wanted to call her to see where she was, but I didn’t want to seem like I was overeager. I knew that that was a turn-off to women as much as it was to men. I looked around the giant room and observed some of the paintings on the wall in surprise. If I wasn’t mistaken, Henry had some original masterpieces on his walls. I recognized the work of Picasso and Monet in two of the pieces and I realized that Aiden hadn’t been joking when he’d said that Henry was filthy rich.

"Scott, can I talk to you for a second?" Henry called me over to the other side of the room and I walked over to him curiously, wondering what he wanted to talk about. I didn't know him well and didn't know much about him either, asides from he fact that he was Xander's brother and that he seemed to have a lot of money.

"Hey, what's up?" I said as I came up next to him, his green eyes gazing into mine with a serious look.

"I wanted to talk to you about Elizabeth and Lacey." He said and then cleared his throat as he gazed over at the others who were still across the room and staring at us.

"Oh?" I looked at him with a frown. "What about them?"

"I'm sure you must be wondering why I wanted them both to come this weekend?"

"A bit." I admitted and then a sudden thought hit me. "You're not trying to have a threesome with them are you?" I could feel myself start to get heated at the thought. Was I going to have to put Henry in his place in his own home?

"What?" He chuckled and shook his head. "No."

"Good." I said and then pursed my lips. "So I think I need to talk to you as well."

"Oh?" It was his turn to look curious.

"It's about Lacey."

"Lacey?" It was his turn to frown as well. "I thought you were into Elizabeth? No? You're not saying that Lacey is the one you want?" His tone changed and I could have sworn that he sounded jealous, but that couldn't be? Hadn't he only met her that one time?

"Yes I want to talk about Lacey. I don't want to make this awkward or be rude, especially as this is your house and I’m your guest, but..." My voice trailed off as I thought about what to say next.

"But?" His eyes pierced into mine and I could tell that he wasn't used to being challenged or talked to like this. I grinned at him to let him know I meant no hard feelings and continued.

"Lacey is Elizabeth's best friend and well, I'm really trying to make it work with Elizabeth. And well I'm not sure what your intentions are or what you're trying to do up here this weekend, but I'm just saying that I hope you stay away from Lacey."

"Excuse me?" He frowned, his eyebrows rising slightly as he gave me a slightly sardonic stare.

"Look I'm sure you're a great guy." I cleared my throat. "But things are already rocky between Elizabeth and I and from what I know about Lacey, she's a bit of an ingénue. She doesn't have much experience. She's not the sort of girl to play games with. I don't want to see her getting hurt. Both for her and for Elizabeth’s sakes. I don't want anything bad to go down. You know?" I gave him a look and his eyes narrowed at me.

"So you're telling me not to make a move on, Lacey?" His voice was deeper and he looked like he wanted to laugh.

"No." I sighed. "Look I don't know what I'm saying. I'm just saying that I don't want to see Lacey getting hurt."

"I see." He nodded. "That's not my intention either. She's an adult though, as am I, so whatever we get up to this weekend will be between the two of us." He tapped his fingers against the wall next to him and then cleared his throat. "I admire you for speaking to me though. You must really care for Elizabeth, if you're looking out for her friend."

"I do." I nodded. "I really do." We grinned at each other and I was glad that he had taken everything so well. "So what was the reason you called me over?"

"I wanted to know if you knew when Lacey and Elizabeth would arrive." He grinned sheepishly. "They're running later than they said, no? I wanted to make sure they were still coming."

"They are coming." I nodded. "I'm not sure what's taking them so long though, you know women? Maybe they stopped to go shopping?"

"Perhaps." He laughed. "I just hope that they make it. The weekend wouldn't be the same without them."

"You can say that again." I agreed with him, but I couldn't stop myself from wondering exactly why he was so eager to see Lacey. Just what did he have in store for her? I looked down at my phone again and checked the time. I could feel myself starting to get anxious. What if Elizabeth had changed her mind after all? I wasn't really sure where we stood or what she felt about me anymore. It seemed to me that Shane had stirred something up in her that had been dormant for a long time. I just didn't know exactly what that was. I hoped that this weekend would bring us together and would show her that I was the guy for her. But if she didn't show up, then there was no way that that was going to happen. My heart jumped when my phone started ringing and I saw her name. I looked over at Henry who was staring at me intently and said, "that's them now, let me see what she has to say."

He nodded and I answered the phone. "Hey? Where are you guys?"

"Hey sorry. Lacey got a call from an old friend and we pulled over for lunch." Elizabeth sounded breathless. "We should be there soon."

"Old friend or old boyfriend?" I asked curiously.

"Why?" She asked, suspiciously.

"No reason. Just curious as to if Lacey has an ex boyfriend that's going to be showing up as well." I looked over at Henry and I could see his lips thinning as he listened to my side of the conversation.

"I'll tell you more when we arrive." She said. "We'll be there in about 15 minutes if my GPS is to be believed."

"Okay, great. Looking forward to seeing you." I said and then I continued because I couldn't help myself. "Be prepared for a spanking tonight if you're more than 15 minutes away."

"Scott," she gasped and I laughed.

"Don't say you haven't been warned." I hung up the phone quickly, feeling pleased with myself and turned back to Henry. "They'll be here in 15 minutes."

"I see." He nodded and paused. He looked like he wanted to say something else, but he just shook his head slightly and then turned away. "Thanks for letting me know. I should go and let the cook know that she can start getting dinner prepared." And with that he walked away, back straight and head high. I watched him as he left the room and I mentally made a note to ask my sister Liv, exactly what she knew about Henry. The more I got to know him, the more different he seemed to be from Xander. He'd come off as playful the first couple of times that I'd met him, but now he was seeming to be a lot more intense. I didn't know Lacey that well, but I knew she was Elizabeth's best friend and I sincerely didn't want to see her getting hurt.

"I hope you don't mind, but Henry put us in the double room together and Lacey in the single." I escorted Elizabeth to our room as Henry showed Lacey to hers. "I can always swap with Lacey, if you prefer to sleep with her."

"Would you prefer that?" Elizabeth gave me a silky smile and all I wanted to do was pull her towards me and kiss her hard.

"You know what I prefer." I said, my hand sneaking to her ass and squeezing it lightly.

"Me on top?" She joked and I felt my cock hardening at her words.

"You on top riding me hard with your breasts rubbing against my chest." I whispered in her ear as I opened the bedroom door. "Your pussy clenching on my cock hard so that I can feel your juices soaking into me." I continued and I watched the red blush creeping up her neck and spreading across her face.

"Scott." She exclaimed in shock and I laughed.

"You started that one, honey."

"I hope you don't think you're going to get lucky tonight." She gave me a look and all I could think about was how beautiful she was and how happy I felt when I saw her.

"I only care about you getting lucky tonight." I grinned at her and licked my lips. "So whatever you need me to do to make that happen just let me know. Your wish is my command."

"I'm sure it is, Scott." She laughed and she gasped as she looked around the room. "This is amazing. Whoa!" She stared at the four-poster bed and the deep purple velvet curtains and then turned to me. "Henry is loaded huh?"

"I heard that he's a billionaire." I nodded as she jumped onto the bed. "I guess he and Xander have different mothers, but the same father? And Henry's mom comes from really old oil baron or maybe train baron money. I can't remember which."

"Wow." Elizabeth looked impressed as she lay back on the bed and I sat down on the bed next to her. "I didn't realize."

"Does that make you want him now?" I asked jealously.

"No silly." She shook her head and rolled over to look at me. "Of course not. I was just speaking my thoughts out loud. I think Lacey's going to be in over her head, though."

"So she's interested in him then?" I gazed into my eyes, not wanting to talk about Lacey, but I didn't want to rush anything.

"I think so." She nodded, but she looked worried. "I feel like he's the kind of guy that could eat her up and spit her out though. I'm not sure it's a good idea for her to get involved, even if it's just for some fun."

"Lacey said she wants to have fun with him?" I asked in surprise as Lacey hadn't seemed like that kind of girl to me.

"Not in so many words." She shook her head and sighed. "I'm not really sure she knows what she wants or what he wants."

"Sure, that's understandable." I debated telling her about my conversation with Henry, but decided not to. I didn't want her thinking I was meddling in Lacey's business.

"Oh well." She said and then she gave me a sweet smile and I couldn't stop myself from leaning over and pressing my lips against hers. "Oh." She said softly as my tongue found its way into her mouth and my hand pressed against her right breast.

"You taste like strawberries." I murmured against her lips as I sucked on her lower lip. Her hand crept to my hair and she tugged on it slightly. I moved closer to her and pinched her nipple and she moaned into my mouth, making me even harder. I pushed my erection against her so she could feel how much she was turning me on and she rewarded me by reaching down and rubbing me through my pants. "I want you." I groaned as she started to unzip my pants. "I'm not going to want to stop if we continue on like this."

"When do you ever want to stop?" She laughed as she released me from my jeans. My cock burst through the hole she'd made and stood to attention proudly as her warm fingers ran up my shaft. I was surprised that she was willing to get so physical right away, but I wasn't going to question my good luck; especially not when she lowered her head down and took me into her mouth and started sucking. Her tongue felt cool against my skin and I closed my eyes as she sucked away. My hands grabbed her hair and I tried to think of something else as she sucked as I felt like I was going to blow my load right away and I didn't want that to happen. I wanted to enjoy the feel of her lips on me for as long as I could.

Elizabeth sucked me hard for a few seconds and I had to push her face away quickly. She looked up at me in surprise and I grunted for a few seconds before speaking.

"You're too good and I'm too horny." I said to her. "I was about to come already."

"Oh really?" She asked, with a huge grin on her face.

"You like that, huh? I'll show you." I growled at her. "Stand up and let me take your clothes off." I commanded her and jumped up with her, grabbing her clothes and taking them off carefully. I unclasped her bra and threw it to the ground, and leaned forward to take her nipple into my mouth and sucked on it for a few seconds as my hands reached down her panties and found the wet spot between her legs. I rubbed her gently, enjoying the way her thigh muscles tightened on my fingers. “You’re so wet for me.” I increased the pace of my fingers and I could feel her body shaking next to me. “You missed this as well, didn’t you?”

“Scott.” She moaned and I felt her reaching down to grab my hardness again.

“Yes, my dear?” I pulled away from her and quickly pulled my own clothes off, needing to be naked next to her. Needing to feel my skin against her skin. Needing to be inside of her.

“Nothing.” She said as she watched me, her tongue darting across her lips quickly and I just smiled at her. At least I knew that we still had this. She was still attracted to me, no matter what else was going on in her life. She still craved me as I craved her. As soon as my boxers hit the ground, I stepped towards her and picked her up. She let out a small yelp as I carried her over to the bed and plopped her onto the mattress. I then positioned myself on-top of her, and gave her a small wink. She wiggled against me and I grabbed her arms and pulled them up over her head before leaning down and kissing her hard.
