RAINE CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: MAKING GOOD
Wanting to go out and being coerced to go out are two different things. On the nights I look for a playmate, I am sure to go all out. I dress in the right fashion, pay attention to the details of my hair and make up. I am sure to put my best assets on display and my confidence is radiating. Tonight, there was something different in the air. I felt myself second guessing who I should play. The plan is not to seduce anyone, to play a siren, as Ms. Spencer would say, but I still had to stand out. I needed to look good not only for myself, but for Mr. Davis, who was using me to make a client happy. But I couldn’t go too overboard because these were my coworkers. So, simple is always good. Maybe something with a little color. I searched my closet for the perfect outfit. I was relieved when I found it. I wasn’t one to wear jeans, especially ones with holes in them, but the style seemed fitting. They fit tight, bringing attention to my butt. I paired the black jeans with a white halter to

“I remember only asking for one,” I said out loud, eyes staring down into an empty glass that was once filled to the rim with red wine. “How many have I had now?” My eyes felt a little heavy. I knew that I felt tipsy, but I was also extremely tired. Those two things mixed together never was a good thing. Not for me anyway. I sat at the bar, my body hunched over the counter, eyes on the female bartender who seemed to be amused by the events unfolding in front of her. I had now joined the majority of the group, drinking too much and allowing the alcohol to control me. The petite woman was pouring out some partially full glasses that were left behind from customers. “Six.” Wow, she was really keeping count for me. “Yeah…” I started, closing my eyes in thought. “That’s practically a whole bottle.” “It is a whole bottle,” She corrected with a chuckle. “I don’t normally drink… this much wine.” I shook my head. “I don’t know why, but wine gets to me faster. And it leaves me with hangover

I love the sound my heels make on the tile, when it is just me walking the hallways. Every step is filled with determination and confidence. The light switching of my hips screams look at me. My lack of eye contact as I walk past you, says you’re not even worth my time. Confidence drips from me. Most mornings, it’s like this. And I love it. However, this morning, I was a fucking trainwreck. I managed to get myself dressed in my usual fashion; a high waisted black skirt and a sheer white buttoned up blouse tucked in. Of course, I had a black tank top underneath, but the plumpness of my breasts was still looking as if they were fighting for a way to be set free. The sounds of my heels were still heard, but unflattering, as it made my ears ring and my head pound. I kept sunglasses on my face to keep the lights from my eyes. I just wanted to make it to my office and give myself just a few more minutes of alone time before assuming the role of Queen of Quality Advertising. Ding, went th

To say my morning was uneventful would be a lie. Sure, I was off to a rough start with a splitting headache, and hiding the bags under my eyes, but it was nice to put Karen in her place. Though I feel like I do that on a daily basis, today it felt needed. It put some pep in my step, and by noon I was feeling like myself. I was set to have lunch with Andre in thirty minutes, but my plan was quickly changed with Jose coming into my office, Kale Spencer behind him. They both looked serious, which caused a knot in my stomach.“What’s going on?” I asked, standing up from my desk, as if that was an appropriate way to address my client. “What can I do for you?” It took a lot of energy for me to jump to my feet, and pretend I was happy to see this man, to fix whatever problem he was about to place in my lap. Truly, the only thing that brought me joy was the fact that the head of Kale Realty decided to step into my office without his usual jacket. Though his black buttoned up was tucked tight
Last Updated : 2022-10-14RAINE CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: LATE NIGHT
There are a few things that I have learned when it comes to my line of work. The first is confidence above all else. If you walk into a room and appear like you don’t know anything, no one is going to trust their business in the palm of your hands. Communication is the perfect pairing. If you can’t bullshit a client into taking a chance on you, you’re not worth it. And third, be prepared for ANYTHING. Currently, we were not prepared. I reviewed the work that my team had captured in regards to Paris realizing that this was not our best work. I was surprised that Kale even went along with what we had. I shook my head in disbelief, realizing that I was not hovering over my team like I should have been. I understood that this particular job would have its challenges. I didn’t expect it to be a walk in the park, however, I thought it would be a bit more on the easier side. This work… was amaetur. I wasn’t happy to have to stay behind and work, mainly because I just wanted to relax, a

The devil is present. It was the only thing that made sense as to why this man was being dangled in front of me, like a piece of meat that only I could enjoy. To make it worse, this opportunity would arise in my office, in the sacred workspace that I swore I wouldn't dirty.I was being tested. The intensity that Shane had in his eyes was captivating. I didn't want to look away, but I was also unsure of what to say. I've had plenty of sexual offers in my life time, most I've accepted, and I've also turned away my fair share. Wait. Maybe I'm Jumping ahead. Jesus Raine, not everyone is like you, thinking of sex 24/7. This man had an innocence just a few weeks ago, maybe he's thinking something more pure. If that's the case then the look on his face is certainly deceiving. He must have picked up on my confusion, or noticed how I couldn't find the words to speak. He suddenly dropped to his knees before me, thro

Red. Such a daring color. Such an… attention seeking color. Red against my beautiful dark skin… reads… deadly. Intoxicating. Why was the color red calling out to me this morning as I prepared for an early meeting with Kale Spencer?Maybe it was because I participated in something daring last night. This was no accident. I had done it on purpose with someone who worked with me, in my office with glass windows where everyone could see… if only they were there. I now had another secret. A very dirty, but memorable one.This red dress looked to be melted into my body shaped, easily adjusting to the curves of my breasts and hips. It also stopped right about the knee, showing half of the thigh when I sat. The silk layered itself across the breast, threatening to show the bareness of my breasts.

Friday night. What does a woman like me do on a Friday night? Hunting would normally be my first answer. Taking a nap before the sun sets, dressing my best, ready to capture someone’s attention. Yes, that sounded nice, however, this Friday would be different. I had two more hours of the work day left, then I would head to dinner with my two best friends, followed by some shopping. Tomorrow there was an event that I had to attend, and I had waited until the last minute to get a dress. Last year, I had worked on a small solo project in favor of Mr. Davis. It was for a six episode mini series. Long story short, the audience loved it, and one of the actors was being nominated for best Break Out star. The director loved my work. Hell, he seemed to love me a little more. I know what you’re thinking, and no,

RAINE CHAPTER NINETY FIVE: PARIS
Years ago, I stood at this window, staring down at the world below me. I had chosen a career path, and planned to follow it through until the very end. That path has not changed, but how I get there will. Quality Advertising and Mr. Davis gave me my start, but they were just a step. They were not my end. Looking down at the world now, I take a deep breath and feel an excitement that I haven’t felt in a long time. I hear a knock on the office door. I turn to see Jose standing there with Jordan as his side. “Well, this isn’t a duo I’ve seen before,” I said with a smile. Jose approaches me first. “I wanted to get in my goodbye and tell you the good news before you left,” he said, eyes going around, taking notice in the emptiness. “Good news?” The young man nods. “Well, with you resigning and Jordan moving up, there are some supervisor spots needing to be filled. I am being given one of of those spots.” I grinned. Jose’s work experience wasn’t much, but he was a quick learner.
RAINE CHAPTER NINETY FOUR: CHECKMATE
Tonight. Tonight everything changes. Red is the color I choose to wear to embrace everything that will be coming my way. Something simple, yet classy. Long, and elegant. My beauty will never be hindered. “You look like someone who's getting ready to set a whole building on fire,” Alisha grins, refusing to miss my looks to kill. “And leave no casualties,” I said with a grin. The plan has been drawn up, it has been executed, and we were ready to witness the fallout. I would be arriving at the event solo, but I wouldn’t be leaving alone. Here we go Raine, time to give them all hell.The work week was slow and boring. It was the most interesting thing to talk about besides the ending of upcoming projects and the dinner in which a winner would officially be announced. Saturday night has arrived. I walk through the doubled doors of an upscale restaurant downtown. The dinner experience here was said to be spectacular. Not just when it came to the food or the service, but the fact th
RAINE CHAPTER NINETY THREE: A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
I am sore. Sore all over. But it was worth it. I wake up, my body entangled with theirs in Kale’s bed big enough to house all three of us comfortably. They sleep heavily, allowing me to take in their fresh morning looks. I definitely had a type. The pink lips, the olive skin, the curly and waving dark hair. Both of them are sculpted differently but attractive all the same. I sigh in content. Lately, they had been taking care of me, now it was my turn to do so for them. I am not the type to cook breakfast. It’s not that I can’t, it was just something I didn’t even need to do to myself. I always kept to this fast routine, but today nothing was claiming attention. I would make something as great as Shane’s omelets, but I could handle bacon and eggs. I searched through Kale’s fridge, seeing nothing but leftover take out and frozen dinners. I could just order food from the kitchen, as he does. That was the plus of having a large condo in a shared space. The way the extremely rich live
RAINE CHAPTER NINETY TWO: ADDICTED
“Whoa,” Shane reveals a snickering laughter, catching me by the arm just as I tripped in my heels. One hand clings to his arm to help keep my balance, while the other holds onto the loose fabric that also played a part in my almost accident. “I think you had a good time tonight,” he says, readjusting himself against me. I lean my body up against him, ear finding his chest and heart beat. We stood at the doorway of the building, waiting for the Limo to pull up, so we could make our way home.“It wasn’t the worst,” I said softly. I could hear the slurring in my words, and I knew I had passed the line of tipsy. “Where is Kale?” Shane looks back over his shoulder. “He’s making sure everyone is getting home safely.” Of course he is. He’s such a good guy. “I hit the jackpot with that one, didn’t I?” “Don’t go playing favorites Raine,” Shane stares into my eyes. I smile. “You’re not so bad either,” I joke. “I don’t know why either of you want to put up with my shit.” He grins. “Yeah, y
RAINE CHAPTER NINETY ONE: PREMIERE
“I would have gone crazy on that snake bitch,” Alisha growled, holding her wine glass up to Shane, allowing him to refill her glass. It’s not like me to have wine this early in the day, but after catching Andre and Alisha up on the drama that had unfolded in the last few weeks, it was needed. I sighed, my legs up to my chest. I rest my arms on top of my knees, staring off into space. “Trust me, I really wanted to,” I murmured. “I’m all for a little thrill in my sex life, but in the printing room, where there were cameras… Scandalous!” She continues. “I know that,” I said back. “And I was under the impression that it would be taken care of,” My eyes went to Kale, who was sitting beside me. “Otherwise it probably wouldn’t have happened.” “Hey, I bought the tape off the guards the next morning, and even had them delete the copies!” He tried to defend himself. “Well, regardless, the act in itself was still careless,” Andre says.“Again, we already know that.” I grind my teeth togethe
RAINE CHAPTER NINETY: BOYFRIENDS
RAINE’S POVI’m not sure if Kale’s openness with Karen was a good idea. He may have just added a lot more fuel to the fire, however, I couldn’t hide the fact that I wish I would have seen the look on her face. Kale says she looked stunned. She thought she was going to hurt me by telling of the apparent rumors circulating the office floors.What she didn’t understand was how she now revealed that there was another person helping her in her quest to destroy me. Jordan Cummings. Of course I already had my suspicions, but unless Karen had eyes to see through walls, or binoculars to spy from another balcony, she was not able to see the kiss I shared with Shane. If there truly was a rumor, Jordan was the one to tell what he had seen. And as Karen would put it, it was her duty to pass along the information to Kale.Two against one, this wasn’t a fair fight, but if she was expecting to see me shaking in my heels, she had another thing coming. I already had my moment of weakness.I heard
RAINE CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE: THREATS
“It’s been a crazy and hectic few months, hasn’t it?” Mr. Davis says, standing in front of his wide windows, eyes not even on us. “I’ve seen you two work hard, but I’ve also seen a few flops.” He doesn’t have to look in my direction for me to know that he was referring to me. I refuse to take my eyes off of him. I refuse to have cower like I did previously. There was a long silence. Was he waiting for one of us to say something, or was this pause just for dramatic effect? “It has been decided that we will announce who will be moving up in the company next week.” “It sounds like you already know who will be promoted,” Jordan says out loud. Mr. Davis slowly turns to face us. His eyes travel from my face to Jordan’s before he shows a slight smile. “Of course.” Jordan grins wide like he knows something that I don’t. “However, you know we do ceremonies for things like this. So a small company dinner will be held the following weekend. It will be made up of board members and supervisors
RAINE CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT: GOSSIP
I was warned before we stepped foot off the elevator that I was going to be facing a lot of stares and whispers. It’s not like I didn’t expect that, after all most of these people got to witness my ass on the big screen. They should consider themselves lucky. More than half of the people in here wanted to see what I had to offer, dying to switch places with Kale. Kale stated that many people seemed to stay clear of him, but it was because of the power that he had. He told me to remember my power, and that was exactly what I planned on doing. Never let them see you sweat. Never let them see you cry. Never let them know that you care, and always remain unpredictable. Rules to live by if you want to be top dog. The way the entire floor went silent as soon as I made my appearance… it was enough to send a chill up my spine. If you were looking close enough, you probably would’ve seen me gulp. I wear a cyan colored dress. It hugs me the same as any other piece of clothing I wear, di
RAINE CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN: HER TRUTH
The entire situation wasn’t hypothetical. When I gave my answer, we all knew that it was a serious response to a serious question. I said yes. I belonged to them now, and though I wasn’t sure how this would work, I decided to give it a try. Raine McClaren has changed. Months ago I wanted to be nameless, known only for that one night of crazy hot sex, and now, my bed was being shared with two men that were mine. To say I belonged to them wasn’t even crazier. My best friends noticed the change before I did. It took me a while to admit that my way of thinking was different. I liked someone. I liked two someone’s. That is a big deal for me. I am on uncharted waters. We lay in bed, limbs wrapped around each other in the most comfortable position. Darkness surrounds us, as we were trying to get our rest. I had spent the last week indoors, occupying my time with mindless tasks. Shane would still head off to the office, still paired up with jose. Kale also remained at Mr. Davis’s side
