Jack

Weeks had gone past, and Jack had thrown himself into work , accepting meetings all across the west coast and a couple in Dubai. His mind continued to revisit the feeling that something was off with Liza. She seemed so tired and scared, did he do that ?

After six long weeks of non-stop work and endless travel, Jack was finally back in the city. It was a Thursday evening, the clock striking 8pm, and he had just landed. There was no time to rest - he had to rush to the office to change into a fresh suit for the next important meeting. Exhausted but determined, Jack made his way into the building, greeted by the familiar security guard who had been taking care of things in his absence.

As he caught up with Charles, the security manager, in the control room on Ground level, Jack's eyes fell upon a monitor, where a woman was, still working tirelessly on level 10. Jack asked if this was normal. Charles explained that one of the Junior Consultants named Liza has been working quote long

    Liza Liza's eyes easily opened this time and immediately looked to the left as she woke. She allowed her eyes to adjust but no shadow ; however, there was her dear friend Del and her beautiful boy Gabe. Liza was so relieved to see them both and also embarrassed about the events. She asked Del how long she had been asleep for, Del explained she had been unconscious for approximately 38 hours and that she attempted to wake a couple of hours ago but drifted back asleep again. A tear ran down Del's face as she explained how scared she had been.Liza asked what exactly happened as she sucked on the ice cubes that Del handed her whilst her little prince fell asleep in his mums arms, getting the biggest cuddles ever. Del explained to Liza that she was at work , working late and appeared to get up from her desk when her legs appeared to give way and she fell hitting her head and that she was lucky as the security guards had seen her on the security cameras and came to her rescue quickly.

    Jack Jack had heard that a couple of hours after he left, Liza had woken fully from her coma and then was released 24 hours later. He couldn't help but feel it was too soon. Liza was to recover for a week at home before returning to work, and Jack was insistent on righting some wrongs that had been waged against her. Firstly, the redistribution of her reception duties to her former supervisor came to colleague who was holding her back. He also requested HR to investigate how this could possibly happen and if this so called supervisor had any other subordinates being treated poorly with unimaginable workloads and not where they should be, clearly this woman did not have the capabilities to supervise so that too would need to be investigated impartialially. Jack then organised that she be moved to Level 16 with him, well not with him but all of the other Junior Consultants. He ensured all of her items were placed neatly, and she was given the appropriate tech and an appropriate space

    JackJack was sitting in the dimly lit corner of the club, he doesn't believe she saw him , but he watched her ever move as she sauntered out back. She was placed in stage and looked breathtaking as she was positioned and cuffed into place. Her innocence radiated her. Jack felt tense as he saw the man that only a few weeks ago sent a girl to the hospital who approached and gave Gine money. Jack shook his head, noting he would be talking to Gina about reinstating the club standards instead of being focused on the money so much. Jack thought back to the first few years of the club, Gina cared so deeply for her girls, their safety was number one. All members, despite some of their intense kinks, still showed a level of respect towards the rules and the girls' consent and safety. Jack was ripped from his thoughts and he could almost feel the abger rise in him to the point of needing to release it as his heart shattered into a million pieces as he witnessed the man taking advantage of hi

She wore a delicate pencil skirt with a white silk touch blouse with a floral pattern. She added a nicely shaped jacket and her red bottom heals that were one of the many items of clothing Jack had given her.

He thought about how innocent and defiled she looked with his cock down her throat.
