CHAPTER TWENTY: NO GOING BACKWARDS
Last Updated:
2022-06-10 02:40:57What a bore, I thought as I stood on the balcony of some expensive ballroom the company had rented for a night of fun after the games. Everyone was so good, on their best behavior, talking very professionally. I hated it. No big clients seemed to have made an appearance, so it was mainly me and the people that I see every day, Monday through Friday. After a few hours of playing nice, I had excused myself from the table and went out for air, sneaking a bottle of beer out with me. Maybe I would have had more fun if Andre had stayed, but after spending the day with these assholes, he had better things to do. For the most part, the large balcony was empty. I shared the space with four other people. I stood at the railing, staring out over the city. This was another great view that I wouldn’t forget. After a long hot day, the moon was full and that air was chilled. I did my best to not shiver. I was not ready to return inside, facing those people I couldn’

RAINE CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: WHISKEY AT MIDNIGHT
Yes. This was the drink that I needed. By the time I got to the club I no longer wanted a martini or a girly drink. It was all about a glass of whiskey. That’s usually a drink that I stay away from, but today sucked so bad. I didn’t win. My team in fact came in last place. I saw that coming from a mile away. I felt looked over by Mr. Davis all day, so I doubted that I stood out. And now, it seemed that I would be sleeping in my bed alone. A good fuck would probably get me out of the funk that I was in, but it wasn’t going to happen. The Gods seemed to be against me. “You are a terrible liar you know.” You have got to be kidding me. I turned around on my stool to see Kale, dressed in all dark clothing like he was that first night. This was a side of him that I liked. It made him more mysterious. “Now, I could have sworn you said you were going home to your bed.” “Are you following me or something?” “I have better things to do than to follow you,” he spoke, as if I had offended him

“So…” Shane and I faced each other outside of the club. For the last hour he was at my side, his hands never leaving my waist. As we danced, I could feel the hardening of his dick, and his lips against the nape of my neck as I grinded against him. I could assume that I had wheeled him in, but we had played this game once before, and things didn’t go my way. I showed a friendly smile, hoping he’d ask if he could accompany me home. “Are you taking a cab home?” He asked. I hid my disappointment. Please don’t do this to me again. “Yes.” His brown eyes glanced around. He wanted to say something. Just spill it already God damn it. “Do you want a ride instead? I parked around the corner.” I blinked, showing a full grin. Finally, things are going my way. “Sure.” “Hey, I want to apologize for Matt.” This was the first thing Shane said to me once we found ourselves on the road. Matt, who was that again? Right, his bad kissing and rude friend. Jesus. Raine, you seem to be off your game

Shit! My thoughts jinxed me. A virgin? I have taken home a virgin! Everything was quiet as he stared at me, hoping that he didn’t ruin his chance. I blinked a few times, searching for words before I broke all contact with him. I stood up. Words. Words. Where were my words? “I don’t…get why you came here then.” Was my initial response harsh? He watched me intently. I could tell he was looking for something to say that would make the situation better. “I came here because I wanted to.” “What did you think was going to happen when I invited you in?” I faced him. I couldn’t imagine what I looked like to him. Did he see my anger? Did he see my disappointment? I was feeling all of those things, because once again, it seemed that I may have wasted my time. “I know what you want,” he said, standing up as well, his arms to his sides. “That’s why I came. I want to give it to you.” Didn’t he understand? A one night stand shouldn’t be your first time. This is a rule. This would be somethi
Last Updated : 2022-06-19RAINE CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: VIRGIN NO MORE
A few minutes later Shane's entire body was relaxed. We were comfortable with each other’s nudity and touches. We continued with the same position that we started with in the living room. I was on top, my palms flat on the cushion behind him as I brought my ass up and dropped it low, burying him deep inside of me. This was a good position for me, because at least I could continue to control the speed and the movements. Slow, I had to remind myself. Take it slow. I leaned forward more, resting my forehead against his. I took a deep breath, smelling the hint of alcohol against his lips. While I rocked my hips, I took in his looks. He was handsome, something a little delicate in his face. His eyes were closed tightly, it surprised me. You’d think he’d want to see, catch a glimpse of my body, explore it, but his hands rested on my hips. Was he afraid to move them? Suddenly, his eyes popped open. I gasped out of surprise, as our eyes locked. How long was I staring? And why is he staring at

These children. I leaned forward, eyes on my computer screen as I went over a few of my team's projects in regards to the new club. Karen and Liz did a great job when it came to capturing the inside space. I could guess that all of this was Karen’s touch and Liz followed, knowing that she would lead both of them to the highest recognition. I had gotten an email from the men on my team, expressing that they were working really hard when it came to the promotional side of things, and that they needed a little more time. I shook my head at this. It’s a club. Advertising for this should be easy peasy. Women. Alcohol. Sex. Just those three words would bring customers right in. I sighed. Trust the process, I told myself. If they need more time, it's probably because they were going to bring me something epic. I wouldn’t allow for anything less. There was a knock at my office door. I looked up to see Kale standing there. “Good morning,” he said, a side grin showing on his face. What was tha

I took the time to get together with my friends for drinks. I hadn’t expected to do hunting. Not today. The last few months I had been bringing home men left and right. If I kept this up I would be looking for a different city to live in, and the true definition of hoe would be my name. I needed to pace myself. The best way was to keep myself busy. So dinner and drinks it was. Andre and Alisha could be great distractions, except when they were talking about their successful weekends. “I met a guy,” Andre had started, his hands placed above the square table we occupied. He sat up straight, a tight smile on his round face and eyes rolling around as if he couldn’t believe that he had such a catch. Alisha and I were eager to hear the story. It wasn’t very often that Andre was open to sharing his romantic life, he just seemed to live through ours. “He’s a good guy.” “And what makes you say that? His package?” Alisha croaked, tossing her red hair back over her shoulder, as she threw bac
Last Updated : 2022-07-12RAINE CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: PHOTO SHOOT
These girls look lost. That’s all I could think when I stood in the sidelines of the last minute photo shoot that Shawn and Jose had come up with. After a short discussion with Mr. Davis and Mr. Spencer, we had decided to add some custom posters that would be put up on the outside of the building as an advertisement. There were going to be two. One advertisement was going to be for the women and the other one for the men. These posters were going to show them having fun. I planned to be there every step of the way. There were ten women and ten males. Each of them were going to step in front of cameras, with a bar set in the background. Shawn was going to take some photos, and we’d go through later to pick the best. It sounds simple enough but as I looked around at those that were invited to be a part of this project, they were lost. “Amy, why don’t you just loosen up a little bit?” Shawn tried to encourage from behind the camera. The young girl was beautiful. Long blonde hair, prett

"Right…well… These models are missing something. Fun. I don't know about you, but when I go out for the night, that's what I'm looking for." I watched as a new model made her way onto the set. She was tall and gorgeous. Her legs stretched on for miles and she had beautiful bronze skin. Her hair was long and had a lot of volume. She wore a lengthy tight black dress. "Shawn, stay with me." I ordered. He nodded, camera in hand, ready for any direction I was getting ready to give. I was sure to raise my voice so I'd be heard from the other side of the room. I approached the model in the spotlight. "May I?" She nodded her head, understanding that I was going to coach her. "I always dress to impress." I bent over just a bit, grabbing the ends of her dress, ripping the fabric. "I've been constricted in my professional wear all week, so I want to show a bit more skin." I tore it up to her thigh, having her extend her left leg out. I then stopped in front of her, pulling at the fabric over her

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
