"What? They've only just sent it to us? Sorry Sam I know its not your fault, It just the International Business Awards is the biggest awards ceremony in the entire business industry. can you RSVP via email, please? I will be going so won't need a plus one, and I will have the fish. Thank you, Sam."

Melissa was annoyed she had always wanted to go to the IBA but had never been invited her father went and was often awarded Businessman of the Year and CEO of the year, her father was a fantastic boss and really cared about his employees often giving them 2 weeks off over Christmas.

She always aspired to be just like him, and often followed in his footsteps, but with her own hard work. She had always tried her best and started in the mailroom at her dad's company weekends. Ringing Sam she waited for the connect "Sam, can you take some messages I will be out of the office for three hours, please take any messages and can you please ring Vinnie, I don't know what time I will be back to go home when it's your finish time or when you've finished your work, whichever comes first"

Melissa was wearing a navy blue suit today, with a lavender shirt. slipping her navy wool coat on she tied the belt and hoped she looked a little like Audrey Hepburn, who to Melissa was a gorgeous woman. Walking to the front she could see Vinnie at the entrance, he got out and opened the door for Melissa, "Good Afternoon Vinnie, how are you?" Vinnie knew that Melissa didn't just say this she was genuinely interested. "Hows the cancer treatment going?" a little startled as he got into the driver's seat, "It's going well Miss Hartford" cutting him off she responded "Vinnie how many times have I told you? It Melissa, Miss Hartford makes me sound about 90 and a spinster." Looking at her through the rearview mirror "Ok so only one of them is true." replied Melissa with a giggle.

"Oh I meant to tell you, your secretary took a call from a Blake Millington, he wrote the number down on this card but left it in here. Here you go." Vinnie passed the card back, Melissa looked at Sam's even script. "We're going home Vinnie." starting the car he drove away. Pulling out her phone she saved his number into her personal mobile phone. Pulling up the messaging app she quickly types

Hi Blake, Its Melissa, This is my number. M x

Within a few seconds, the familiar BEEP BEEP came from her phone, looking at the screen and unlocking it

Melissa clicked on the message

From Blake, I thought you weren't interested in me. I'm glad you messaged. what are you up to right now?

To Blake I'm just on my way home, I have an awards ceremony tonight and I need to pick an outfit.

From Blake, I'd love to give you my opinion on your choices.

To Blake Maybe M x

As she sent the last message she had arrived at her apartment. Unlocking the front door with her key she entered the apartment.

The apartment was minimalist like the office, it was white and chrome furniture, Dropping her things on the couch she wandered into her bedroom, the neat four-poster was probably the only bit of colour within the apartment, her duvet was lilac and cream lilies, it matched her walls, she had a focus room, magnolia and dark purple.

Walking across the big room she opened the doors to her walk-in wardrobe, switching the light on she searched the cocktail dresses she had. Then she saw it. It had thin shoulder straps, it was scarlet, and had a slit up the left front side all the way to her hip. it had a scoop neck around her chest and had it fell to her feet, she had the perfect pair of pillar box red kitten heels, slipping into the shower she took extra care, getting out melissa got out her hairdryer, drying her hair and styling in ringlets she pinned half of them to her head in a gorgeous up-do, sitting at her vanity she spent a great deal of time doing a smoky look for the evening. When she was nearly ready she didn't put any underwear on but put on some stockings. Slipping her feet in her pointed kitten heels, she was finally ready to slip on the dress. Unzipping it she slid her way into it. Pulling it over her naked bust and hips.

When she had it on she pulled on the ribbon she had attached to the zip and pulled it up, bringing the two pieces of silky fabric together. Finally, she was ready, standing in front of her full-length mirror she took a selfie.

Pulling up the messaging app

To Blake: Heres the photo you asked for.

Putting the phone on her bed Melissa chose a red clutch bag, to put her phone and keys into when she heard the message app beep.

Grabbing the mock crocodile Scarlett clutch bag Melissa grabbed her phone

From Blake WOW

Melissa smiled at this response from Blake, putting her keys into her clutch and switching off the lights, she walked towards the front door, opened it, locked it and left for the IBA.

SOMEWHERE ACROSS TOWN "Hey, Brock you gonna be long dude? I want to use the bathroom."

Brock tutted loudly "You know i have this awards ceremony tonight." the 6 feet 5-inch guy stood in the shower, he looked like his twin buy had shorter hair, it fell to the top of his ears. Brock was excited for tonight, there would be some big names, in the IT industry. The one he wanted to meet the most was Shaun Hartford, he had done his homework, he knew he had 2 children a daughter and a son, he was originally from the UK. Brocks boss had been in his ear ever since their company got an invitation, "Don't forget to network with Shaun Hartford, here's everything I have in Shaun Hartford. Pressing one palm to the cold white and light green tiles he washed. Steeping out of the shower he wrapped the very large grey towel around his toned abs. Opening the door his brother rushed in, "Need a towel." grabbing the grey bath towel he rushed off to his bedroom.

Brock walked across the hallway, opening the door, his room was large, the large bed sat in the middle of the room with his dresser and wardrobe off to the left. His tux he had borrowed off Blake was hanging on the outside of the wardrobe door. Rubbing a hand towel through his dark hair, he suddenly needed a drink, the towel hung low on his hips. Walking to the kitchen Blake had left his phone out and he caught a quick glimpse of the picture on the phone. It wasn't a good look he saw a flash of colour that it. "Fuck off. Don't be so nosey. I'm looking for orange juice." Locking his phone and putting it in his pocket Brock shrugged and grabbed a glass from the dishwasher, turning the tap on the filled the glass and drained it. With a small slam on the countertop, Brock put down the glass "I'm going to get ready." With that he walked off, Blake was left alone in the kitchen, the picture of Melissa had turned him on so much. it wasn't even pornographic, it was her fully dressed, getting his phone from his pocket he unlocked it, bringing up the picture of Melissa he hit "Print" and printed off her picture.

Grabbing the freshly printed picture off the printer he walked into his bedroom. The large king-sized bed was unmade. Placing the photo on the bed he heard his brother shout "Goodbye don't wait up." He was finally alone.

Shutting the blinds so the room was darkened he stripped out of his boxers, he had been constantly horny since his date, nothing seemed to satisfy this whatever it was. he tried to satisfy himself but it didn't work. He thought giving this a try would work.

Putting the photo of Melissa on the bed, he stared at it. Imagining every curve of her body, imagining what she looked like underneath that dress, the slit in the dress was far too high to wear panties, and there was no visible way she could wear a bra either, the scoop on the front was far too low.

Taking his large member in hand, slowly very slowly, he started to stroke, Blake was worried if he went to fast he wouldn’t enjoy it. He knew that men were the sort who enjoyed visual things as opposed to using their imagination.

He slowly let out a breath, trying to keep it even, he had to admit that Melissa was probably the most gorgeous woman he had ever been on a date with,

She had beautiful eyes, the shape of her jaw down to her long, porcelain neck, the way her hair was put up, he could quite easily see her in that dress, opening and closing his eyes, to keep the image in his head, god what was wrong with him, he had never been this way before, his breathing started to come out in little pants as he started to stroke himself faster and faster, he wondered if her medium-sized chest would bounce every time he thrust into her, that thought made him smile.

Faster and faster he got until he couldn’t stand the sensation anymore, he felt the tighten and released his seed. He didn’t mean to do it over Melissa’s picture but it just happened, it went all over. The thought of doing this over her body or even inside of her made him happy.

“Damn it.” Catching his breath he realised he was sort of satisfied, then the realisation dawned, he might never be satisfied if he doesn’t have her

    Inhaling a deep breath, Melissa made her way through the throng of people, she had just about made it to the bar when Mr and Mrs Robins and their daughter Anita stopped her.Mr and Mrs Robins owned a hardware business, they probably made enough each year that they were comfortable, Melissa hated and their horse faced daughter, she wasn’t really horse faced Melissa called her that because of her braying laugh and her ability to make people feel uncomfortable. They also behaved like they had money to burn, and that Anita was a debutante.“Melissa, darling.” Anita called out to her, Melissa fixed her business smile in place and walked two steps in their direction.“I was just telling mother and father, I said there’s Melissa, she’s alone, I wonder why? Then mother said that you hadn’t got a boyfriend and you’d remain a spinster you’re whole life. And I said that Melissa should find someone like my Kevin.” Taking a breath in to come out with the next part, Melissa politely said

    EARLIER THAT EVENINGBrock pressed the button on the alarm with a satisfying click, letting him know that the car was now locked. Walking through the double doors and into the auditorium, he made his way to the bar, "Whisky on the rocks please." Pulling slightly at the black bowtie, he wasn't used to wearing a tux. He wore suits every day at work, but those were different. They were properly tailored, grabbing the whisky he headed to the table and placed his drink on the table with a satisfying thud.Looking around he could see various people who he knew, Kevin Green was bearing down on Brock and fast. Brock shuddered visibly, he didn't usually hate people usually he was quite personable, but Kevin had one of those faces, he knew Kevin from high school, he was a slimy little weasel, he remembers what Kevin did to his ex-girlfriend.He remembers Kevin asking Elle if she'd like to go to the prom knowing that Elle was with Brock, then he remembers her saying no and Brock and h

    Brock woke up lying on the floor in front of the front door.A smirking Blake standing over him “Good Morning Sunshine.” He was wearing board shorts and a vest.Sitting up slowly, Brock put a hand to his head. “Ouch. Why am I on the floor?”Blake crouched next to his brother, “Well big bro, let me tell you a story. It starts about midnight last night. I hear the answering machine beeping, it woke me up by the way, and I hear a very garbled message from you, drunk as a skunk. My night off and I thought I could get an early night. I heard the message and so decided to wait up for you, to come in. This is what I saw and heard.”Blake grabbed his phone out of his shorts, opening the photos app and pressing the play button. Brock saw himself walk up three steps then slip and slide back down. Then he saw himself on his hands and knees, giggling, crawling up four flights of stairs. He saw Blake go back inside, the camera went dark but the audio was still capturing Brock’s voice

Honestly you’re worse than dad. You act like my OLDER brother.” Melissa emphasised the older, grateful to be pulling into the empty car parking space.Getting out and locking the car, the Hartford siblings entered the coffee shop, Ryan grabbing a wrought iron table with two chairs while Melissa ordered drinks and food which is paid for after eating, if eaten in-hou

    ONE WEEK LATER.The spring in Melissa’s step had quickly faded as she was back at work. Melissa had started to try to expand the company even more internationally.She’d been scouting for businesses and plots of land in other countries. Just an idea she was tossing around, doing research, land taxes, business taxes, and a whole load of red tape.On top of that Featherlite was going extremely well. Rick McAdam owner of McAdam Photography had been one of five businesses to “win” help from Melissa and the board of directors, after they had put all five contracts beside each other. Melissa had an uneasy feeling about Rick McAdam, she didn’t like him. He quickly had proved to be a chauvinistic and mysoginistic, working on a sixth sense, Melissa had written into his contract that if he was to make any comments about her being a woman finding would be withdrawn, although he didn’t know this, Melissa had had her lawyers draw up a watertight contract.She hated people who were se

The flash of the camera went off as the car plummeted into the fake volcano below. Getting off the ride Blake was still as white as a sheet.

    LATER THAT EVENING.“Dinners ready.” Blake called to Melissa who had had a nap and a shower. Walking down the stairs with damp hair falling around her shoulders and her face Melissa could smell the scent of baked trout, her mouth salivating at the thought.An hour later with full stomachs Blake and Melissa retired to the couch with a full bottle of Malbec both slightly tipsy.“So I gotta know.” Blake considered for a minute asking Melissa what she saw in Brock. But quickly changed her mind.“What was young Melissa like? Party girl? Nerd? Or were you miss Popular?” He smiled as he said this.“I was very studious, but I wasn’t a nerd, I wasn’t popular either.” Melissa made a face like she was remembering a bad incident. “I was just normal. My turn now.” Melissa squealed with glee “What was Blake like as a teen?”“I was

    THE NEXT DAY.“I’m sorry baby. I forgot I’m supposed to photographing the governor and his family. It’s supposed to be an all day event. Until about 10pm.” Brock said guiltily.“What’s the point in being here if I’m going to be alone?” Melissa asked trying her best not to sound whiny.“I’ve spoken to Blake. He will take care of you. I trust him to keep you safe. I trust him with my life. He’s going fishing, and you can go with him.” Brock said plainly.“Fishing? I wouldn’t know where to start.” Melissa said as Brock got out of the en-suite.“Well bows a great time to learn. Listen Blake’s taken time off and closed his bar so I can work and so that one of us can always be with you.” Brock explained gently.Melissa pouted for a brief moment before realising he was right.

    Melissa stood up getting ready to leave. “There’s really no talking to you. I came here in good faith to make you aware of what was happening as you don’t care.” Blake ran and grabbed her hand pulling her into his chest causing them both to fall on the floor.Blake looked into her eyes as Melissa lay on his chest. Putting his hand on her cheek a very loving and caring gesture he moved his head up towards hers and kissed her again, this time though she brought her knee up between his legs connecting with his genitals.Blake howled in pain. Sucking at his teeth he howls “Again?” Melissa extracts herself from the floor, and runs to the door.The hot sting of tears in her eyes. She fiddles with the lock as she hears Blake get up.She ran down the stairs, her heeled boots clump clumping as she went.She could hear the pit pat of Blake’s feet as he chases her. “Melissa, honey w

    A FEW DAYS LATER“This is soooo relaxing.” Melissa crooned as the masseuse rubbed oil into her back.At the same moment Brock’s phone rang. Adjusting his towel around his waist he got up and took the phone call into the hallway. Melissa allowed herself to think back on the previous days events. “Babe? Babe? Come on wake up.” Melissa shook Brock’s shoulder. Opening a bleary eye Brock looked at Melissa. She was showered and dressed. Wearing black skinny jeans, and a red cashmere sweater, her hair was tied up in a high ponytail and she had make up on. Brock jumped out of bed and in the shower. Showering and dressing in record time he grabbed the keys to the Porsche and they went to the car. Brock snapped his belt in the drivers side, and started the engine, pulling out of the parking lot, before driving off to his and Blake’s apartment. “So you sure you want to do this alone?” Brock asked.

    After a little while the doorbell went getting up off the couch Brock got up and walked over to the door. Melissa sat on the couch, her head hanging and tears falling down onto her lap. Gritting his teeth knowing he feels helpless to stop this Brock opens the door. “Mr Milligan?” The detective asks. “Yes. Come in. Miss Hartford is in the living room.” He steps to the side and in the detective walks past him, taking a seat on the opposite couch to Melissa. Shutting the door Brock follows him and sits next to Melissa taking her hand that’s now in her lap. “Can you take me through tonight’s events?” He asks. Melissa nods and starts to recall everything that has happened, including the phone call, the detective writes everything in a notebook. “Ok. I’m going to bag all the stuff and take it to the forensics.” Sliding on a pair of latex gloves, he disappeared into the bedroom. After a few minutes,

    Grabbing the phone Brock could see that this has pushed Melissa over the edge. He grabbed the detectives card and typed in the number. The voice came out down the end of the phone as if he’d just been woken up “Yeah?” “Hi it’s Brock Milligan, I don’t know if you remember the break in a Melissa Hartford’s place.” Brock said into the phone. “Yeah. I remember. What of it?” The voice said no longer full of sleep. “There’s been a development.” Brock said putting his arm around a now shivering Melissa and guiding her into the living room. “On my way.” The detective said before hanging up. Brock pressed the red button to cancel the call. And sat Melissa down next to him on the couch. “Baby, you okay?” He asked worried that this would be a tipping point for Melissa, knowing that even the strongest of women would find it difficult to cope, with everything that happened. “Y-yeah.” She said haltin

    Melissa awoke to bright sunlight streaming through the glass windows. The warmth felt nice on her skin. Rolling onto her side she opened a sleepy eye, she had a sudden feeling of dread, as she saw a tie that was not Brock’s, and a memory of last night came flooding back, Chris, she remembered the way his hands felt on her body, and the way he felt inside her, for a brief second she smiled then she felt an arm drape across her. That feeling of guilt gnawed away at her insides. She’d cheated on Brock. A single tear ran down her face as she realised this fact. She was in her own world thinking of what to say to Brock how to redeem her relationship when a voice, thick and scratchy from having just woken up, startled her. “Good morning babygirl. Not too stiff I hope.” The voice came from behind. She immediately turned over, and was met with Brock’s smiling face, an eighth of an inch of stubble, and very messy hair. Bro
