HENRY

FIFTEEN MONTHS LATER

The incessant ringing of telephones was driving me crazy. The lines would not just stop buzzing since the news leaked out in the media.

I needed to find who was responsible for that leak and deal with them.

My lawyer Tom stepped into the office space and beckoned to me.

Glad to be torn away from the buzzing telephones and the strained voices of my employees trying to explain our situation away to our partners, I let him into a small office.

“What’s going on Tom, did you look into it?” I asked him as I shook his hand.

Tom nodded, his expression was grim.

I just knew the news was not going to be good, “Tell me,” I said, determined to face it head on.

“Your finance staff had been keeping it from you but after the leak, I was able to threaten them with legalities and they finally admitted it, your company is broke and about to file for bankruptcy.”

His words hit me hard and I squinted, not believing my eyes or ears for that matter. “How? How did this happen?”

    CARA“C’mon Cara, give me two more reps, two more reps!” Carmen’s loud voice boomed in my ear.I strained as I struggled to get back on my feet with a 110 pounds barbell on my back.“C’mon, one more to go, you can do it,” she said, clapping loudly to keep me motivated.I shook my head, my temple was covered in sweat and I was drenched completely, from the top of my sports bra to all the way down to my gym pants.“Don’t quit on me, you are not a quitter, don’t quit on me!” she kept yelling.I let out a strained yell as I went down for the final rep, my thighs felt as if they were being drawn apart.I gritted my teeth and got back up to my feet and then dropped the barbell back on the squatting rack.“That’s it… that’s how it is done,” she clapped as she looked at me, “Two more sets to go.”I looked up at her with a raised eye brow, “What?”“C’mon Cara, no pain, no god dem gain.”“I think I have felt enough pain to last a lifetime,” I said back to her.My personal trainer shook her head

    CARAPhilip pushed hard into me, driving me backwards until I was pressed against the hot tiles, the water from the shower causing steam to rise up in the stall.Up until the point I was protesting and trying to squirm out of his control he had been soft but firm, his kiss, almost a whisper on my lips, his touch like a fleeting breeze but the second that I gave in, it was like everything was turned up a notch.He clasped his fingers in mine and raised it up from my sides all the way up until it was over my head and he held it to the wall.I could feel the mass in his pants as it pressed into my belly, my breathing was becoming more rapid, just like his.His broad back was shielding me from the onslaught of the jet of hot water, but not enough, my pants were soaked with the water and it clung to me even tighter than before.“Kiss me,” Philip muttered.I almost could not hear him above the sound of the stream of water.I looked up at him, his eyes were dim as they stared at my breasts,

    CARA“Tell me that you want me,” he grunted into my ear and stuck his tongue out and ran it around my ear.It was a mixture of a pleasurable and tickling sensation, my body was reacting to every little thing he was doing.“I want it, give it to me,” I moaned.He didn’t stop, he kept running his wet hot tongue around my ear and whispering into it, “Tell me you need it.”My hips jerked forward as I felt another spasm, “I need it, please, give it to me.”I could not restrain my yearning any longer, my body was calling out for his cock, why was he being so stingy, I needed to feel it on my tongue, to stroke it, to put in my mouth and finally to feel it sliding back and forth inside of me.“Give it to me,” I tried to break free from his hold but Philip’s grip was solid.“I don’t believe you,” he said and thrust his tongue deeper into my ear, I cocked my head to one side as a woozy feeling came over me and my eyes rolled back in their socket.Damn it, that felt so damn good.“Ahhh, don’t st

    HENRY“How could you let this happen, Henry?” Terrace, one of the board members began.I sighed deeply and was about to speak up in my defense when another board member interrupted me.“You told us that we should just lay back and allow you to make all the big decisions and you would keep our pockets filled and our minds at ease, how do you explain this mess?”The person that spoke was Ms. Anderson, a fat hulk of a woman.I never really liked her, always felt that her personality and looks were a turn off. It was not surprising that she still was unmarried in her late forties.“It is not as bad as you think, I have this under control,” I assured them.“Under control? You call filing for bankruptcy ‘under control’?” Gordon Banks, the third largest shareholder said and slammed his hand down on the table.I stared at him in stark shock, how did he find out that we had filed for bankruptcy? I didn't even know this until Tom told me about it earlier.His comment sent a ripple across the bo

    HENRYGordon Banks was godsend, if someone would have told me that he would be the one to raise a possible solution out of this mess that my company was in, I would not have believed it.The fact that he did not bail on me like Terrace and the others was surprising enough. He had every reason to. In fact, I expected him to, unlike the rest who surprised me with how quickly they were willing to abandon ship and flee.I expected the exact same thing from Gordon but no, he stuck by me, not only did he do that, he also came up with a solution to revive my company, I would make sure to reward him handsomely when I make this deal.I would hold myself to that promise, I said to myself as I drove my Jaguar down the busy New York road, making my way over to Steel Corp.Gordon had arranged a meeting, he had done all the palm greasing and door opening, all that was left was for me to prove to the people at Steel Corp that I belonged in the building.It was going to be easy as cake, I would knock

    CARA“I understand perfectly,” Philip replied.I sighed in frustration, “I’m not saying that this is your fault or anything, I know that we were both involved and I too share the blame…”“Don’t sweat it, Cara,” he flashed me a smile.I felt my resistance weaken and a tightness in my chest replaced it.Suddenly there was a tingling within my thigh and my mind was flashing back to what had occurred two days ago in the gym shower.I shook my head and shook the memory away with it.“It’s perfectly fine, Cara. I have heard you, it should not happen again.”But it would, won’t it?I knew Philip well enough, I know what he was thinking, hell, I knew what I was thinking and even though I knew I had to stop this before it became something else entirely, I didn’t think I could.I wanted him to do all the work, wanted him to show all the restraint, to make it easy for me but I knew he wouldn’t.Classic Philip, he didn’t argue with me or press back whenever I made a point or stated what I wanted.

    HENRYMy legs felt rooted to the ground and I could not move. My eyes had to be deceiving me, this could not be true.CARA?The Cara that I knew was seating at the head of the table, obviously leading the committee. My palms became sweaty as I stared at her and she stared back at me, she too seemed shocked to see me but I could see how much effort she was putting in to control the fire that was raging behind her eyes.Her hands basically clawed into her arm rest. I felt as if, if I took a step forward, she was going to rip my head clean off my shoulders and the thought of that sent a shudder down my spine.This did not make sense, my brain could not process it, this was clearly Steele Corp but what exactly was Cara doing here? Did I mistakenly walk into the wrong board room? Was that it?Did I fall asleep in the elevator from stress and this is actually a nightmare? All the possibilities were swirling around in my head and none of them were making sense or even making me feel better

    CARAIt felt like my chest was on fire.I had done a good job suppressing my anger when the other members of the committee were around but now it was just me and Henry, I could not, I could not keep this feeling in check.I wanted him to suffer, he had to suffer as much as he made me suffer.I watched Henry from my chair as a drop of tears rolled down his cheeks. I didn’t think I had ever seen him cry before, the big and mighty Henry shedding tears in my office.“Cara, I am sorry for the past, please, don’t hold that against me,” he said.“I should not hold that against you?” my voice flew up to an octave. “Can you hear yourself Henry? Did you ever show me any pity or compassion?”He sighed deeply and then hung his head low in shame.“Did you know how it felt? Being married to you and yet feeling so alone, so lonely?”“Cara… I’m begging you please, I need this…”I sneered, was he even listening to me? typical Henry, so self absorbed, not giving a fuck about what anybody else wanted, o

    CARAThe table squeaked as Philip plunged into me from behind, the sound of the clapping was resonating around the sound proof walls.I held the edge of the table as he continued to clap me from behind, my ass cheeks reverberating with each impact, my legs throbbing from the pleasure that was running through me with every motion that he made.His hands held my hips firmly and he kept going to town on me from the back.I was resting face down on the table and biting my lower lips as he continued to give me just what I wanted.Henry had completely disappeared from my mind and all I could feel now were the boundless walls of ecstasy.“Yeah, yeah, just like that…” I moaned as Philip's strokes became more intense.His grip on my hips tightened as his strokes became more hurried and harder, each one striking me where it mattered, sending waves of pleasure up to my brain. My toes curled in my shoes and my eyes rolled back in my head as I came.Immediately after that, Philip plunged forward o

    HENRYJade’s breasts were incredibly soft and welcoming and my face was squished right in between the both of them.“I am so sorry, I shouldn’t have done that, please, forgive me,” she said as she rubbed my back and at the same time held me tight.The feel of her hand gently caressing my back began to relieve the stress that had been building in my body.“Forgive me honey,” her voice was just barely above a whisper, she continued to rub my back and run her fingers through my hair.I closed my eyes, momentarily lost in the softness of her breasts, wanting to forget everything that had just happened.The terrible humiliation I had endured at the hands of Cara, the fact that my whole world was starting to close in on me and the fact that there was nowhere to run.I yanked myself out of her grasps without thinking and pushed her back, “You know what, it is okay, you have done enough!” I said.I didn’t have time for this, I was supposed to be finding a solution for my problem, not trying t

    HENRYI just knelt there on the floor watching her leave, unable to move, unable to do anything but cry and sob like a child.What the fuck was wrong with me? This was not me at all, why was I crying?I forced myself to get to my feet and I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and sniffled, adjusting my tie and tried to gather myself.Everything was robotic, my body just going through the processes like it normally did. But my mind, my mind was blank, it was empty.What was I going to tell the board? What was I going to tell Gordon Banks? How did this chance from heaven slip through my finger and wither into nothingness?I staggered towards the door, dragging my feet, my head felt heavy, I had to even lean on the door frame to stop from falling back down on my knees.None of this made any sense, how was Cara here?The last time I had seen her was when she was at the back of the cop car being taken away from the hospital.She was in a bad state, hurt and injured but I did not care, I
