Stripping the CEO Epilogue: Ethereal
With each step Clara took towards the doors, she wished there wouldn't be any more surprises because her heart had taken too much of it. Yet as she stepped into the private room which catered to private performances for VIP members, she knew that her wish wouldn't be fulfilled and her heart might just find a way to keep from exploding. It was the room where she had reconciled Adonis with Andre, the foundation of the secret relationship she had started with her boss, boyfriend, and business partner. Including a hell of everything else he was to her. Yet everything from the arrangement to illumination wasn't the same, nor was the mood set by the soft music which blared through the speakers. '...'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections...' John Legend's 'All of Me' had never sounded more emotional, that beautiful voice invoking to her mind memories of the man she had fallen in love with, who stood in the middl
Stripping the CEO Surprise Package
Ms. Karen Seattle was the Queen of all bitches. "Are you capable of getting anything done at all? Do fifteen copies for each department in this company equal 150? Is this how you work for Mr. Quinn? It's a wonder you haven't been fired yet." Clara stared at her, head bent low and fingers clasped tightly to the pile of documents in her hand which weighed her down. Ms. Seattle's lips moved rapidly in front of her, sprewing insults and complaints as though it were her responsibility to make copies of those documents. Working overtime had already become part of her since she joined the company, but having to keep her fingers busy firing away at the keyboard to record the long conference the day before had been hellish. Coupled with it, she had immediately walked hastily out of the conference hall to keep up with her boss whose strides were so long he was almost invincible. And he sure was. Andre Quinn's reputation for being made of steel and expecting perfection in return wasn't so m
Stripping the CEO Strip it Off
Ear-piercing loud music, Blend of expensive colognes, Wine glasses and champagne flutes clicking together, Sweaty bodies grinding and humping on the floor... Clara stood in the middle, feeling dizzy even as she clogged another glass of champagne down her throat. Choosing a posh strip club which was strictly exclusive to its members wasn't the best decision to make after seeing your boyfriend do another woman, and boy did he do it hard. But there hadn't been anything normal about the day, and so she'd said 'fuck it' and in an impulsive moment, bought a membership card to the last place she would have been in on any other day; a VIP strip club whose one month subscription package was worth more than her five months salary. But she'd done it because it was the damn worst idea; she had needed something worse than Dane's nonchalant attitude, and the audacity with which he had told her that it was she who had pushed him to the brink of cheating. She had wanted to tell him, 'hello mis
Stripping the CEO Unofficial Negotiations
Quinn Andre was mad. He wanted to hit something. In his years of experience, there'd definitely been situations when unexpected people from work had walked in through the doors of the strip club as members, watching him and then engaging in the private services which promised debauchery and hot sensual pleasure. But not once had he experienced this kind of shit; having his mask pulled off by not just any worker, but his damn assistant who made his coffee and ran errands... For Pete's sake, this wasn't only unprecedented, but a hell of an unbelievable situation. Was this intentional? Had someone perhaps tipped her and put her to this? "Mr. Qui...nn?" In her voice was innocent confusion, her eyes filled with doubt. Great, even she couldn't believe the sight before her. As though that fucking made anything better. "Why. The. Fuck. Did. You. Do. That?" He asked between gritted teeth, his jaw clenched in rage. His palms were fisted, hot blood rushing through his veins as the urge to s
Stripping the CEO Proposal... Unbusinesslike
Her first awakening was that she wasn't in her bed. Or her room. The fragrance of Black Chamomile and Cinnamon wafted through the air, infiltrating through her nostrils and permeating into her senses. Her first instinct was to smile, savouring the sweet smelling aroma of spices which had now blended with a cologne... A masculine cologne that was all so familiar her smile ceased. It was the same cologne she had perceived the night before at the... How the heck had she ended up dreaming of going to a strip club and meeting Andre Quinn of all people? Was it... Memorised calculated footsteps halted her thoughts, pulling her away from that sanctuary of pretense she had attempted to hide in. Those footsteps could only belong to her boss, scratch that, her boss' boss, who happened to be the CEO of the Quinn Corporation which was fast expanding from America to Europe. But despite what reality insisted on, he couldn't damn well be a stripper.... Or could he? She swallowed hard, refus
Stripping the CEO Promoted?
It was another Monday in New York City, different cars made their way down the streets of Manhattan, hooting in commencement of another busy day. The Quinn Corporation headquarters remained outstanding in its tallness, expansiveness and architectural structure. Nothing had changed in the building, but as Clara stared at it long and hard before walking into it, her neck almost breaking, it was with the realisation that a drastic change had occurred in her life. It had begun with the weekend, but she was yet to see the end of it. Her dressing was the same, blonde hair with streaks of silver in a low bun, features accentuated with light make-up, slender figure clad in grey dress an inch below her knees. Covering her feet was a pair of short-heeled stiletoes which she'd had for a year. There was basically nothing about her that announced a change, but she knew it was coming. Apart from the talk she'd had with Andre, she felt it. That change that might not be as wonderful as she expect
Stripping the CEO Office Gossips
"So how does it feel working for Mr. Hot and Yummy himself?" "You lucky bitch, you get to spend time with him." "Does he really have tight security in his office so he can fuck people there?" "Has he made a move on you yet? Like dragged you into his office and demanded you take all your clothes off?" As Clara sat listening to her friends, her face a mask of happiness, she admitted to herself that they were definitely crazier than she had thought. She didn't have the heart to trample on their fantastical imaginations, to tell them that the Cinderella fairytale in their minds was never going to happen. Not only because Andre was an asshole, douchebag and a jerk; a total son of a bitch, but because she hadn't found life any better since the promotion. If anything, she had jumped from a frying pot of Karen's bitchiness to Andre Quinn's burning fiery flames. First was that she was terrible at the job of supervision, and for the past four days, the urge to ask Mr. Quinn for that tran
Stripping the CEO 'S' for Screwed
"I... Ahem." Clara stopped, giving up on making up a reply since all that was in her head was gibberish. Blah blah blah... She had nothing to say to that, and so she pushed her hair backwards although it was perfectly still in the boring bun she had again knotted it into. It was easier to work without having strands of hair falling all over her face and blocking her view. Andre waited for a response, but seeing as he wasn't getting any verbal one, a conclusion he reached by observing her fiddle with her hair and fingers, he stood, closing the button of his stripe suit jacket he had opened to seat down in a motion as swift as that of a professional. And yeah, he'd gathered enough experience from years of playing dress up in designers' suits. He walked towards her direction, his eyes focused steadily on her; his gaze hot and piercing. This time, he didn't walk fast like he always did, but took his time, prancing casually with the gait of a peacock. A royal, fucking hot peacock. Her

Stripping the CEO Epilogue: Déjà vu
Fuck, her palms joined together of their volition even before she registered that she was clapping, a tear forming in her eyes as the lights went off again. She wasn't even aware of the masked female concierge who came into the room till she perceived an enchanting feminine cologne and darted her eyes towards the direction of the third party. She and the mood she had been cast into already occupied the seats of the first two parties. "Good evening, ma'am. I'll be serving you tonight." She bore a tray of glass and a bottle of wine in the other hand. "A glass please." Clara muttered, suddenly aware of how patched her throat had become with dryness. A cold flute was soon in her hand, and she perceived the unique aroma before bringing it to her lips. It tasted sweetly sinful and smelt like soft sensuality although the alcohol level was only a background complement. Clara's eyes immediately went to the wine bottle with amazement clouding them; it bore an Italian name she couldn't
Stripping the CEO Epilogue: Masterpiece
'I want your body on mine, forever.' A whisper, an imploration, a fucking vow. *** The theme tonight was ethereal. When the car halted in front of the X-Clusive and the chauffeur opened her side of the door, Clara Lynn stared at the tall building which now served as headquarters for another branch in Las Vegas as her Christian Louboutin rhinestone heels stepped on the floors. "Thanks, Will." She muttered to the chauffeur who replied in a similar polite fashion and shut the door, stepping into side with her. Some things like Andre's security following her around hadn't changed over the past one year, especially since their relationship had become public knowledge. But rather than the team who announced the presence of paranoia and made her friends uneasy at events, the slightly older man who doubled as a chauffeur escorted her to public functions. Once the gossip magazines had taken it upon themselves to get pictures of the hunky man opening doors for her, with captions which s
Stripping the CEO Sailed Ship...Yatch
"This is impressive, Clara. I must admit, it's better than I imagined. We're definitely onboard." Literally, they had been onshore for more than four hours because Mr. Holmes apparently included her in her vacation plans for the day, and though she had kept glancing at her watch for the first thirty minutes, Clara hadn't been able to deny that the man did know how to enjoy himself. An ex workaholic in the business world who had decided to take a break as he was fast approaching forty, Holmes was looking for lucrative businesses to invest in so he could enjoy his rest while making money as well. It was a solid plan, and for the first three hours, Clara listened with interest as he talked about his plans for the future and even found herself laughing when he made a joke about wishing to get married to a smart woman who could match his ideas. Like her. A statement which she took care to laugh unnecessarily loudly to, just before making her own joke about already being engaged.
Stripping the CEO Onboard
Andre Quinn was exhausted a few minutes after four in the evening when the hostess who served him another cup of herbal tea announced that they had arrived New York. It was the quickest journey he'd ever made to and fro his hometown, and that was a considerate setting of new record because he had never felt comfortable in the empty expansive mansion since his mother left. His mother. He was still coming to terms with how everything had unfolded, and was getting used to the idea of not mentally referring to Marie as 'the bitch' as he'd done for more than two decades. Even before he was legal enough to think the 'b' word. But giving himself a mental break over the past month had cleansed his spirits to a large extent. Apart from spending more time with his girlfriend and going on a drive with her sometimes in the evening, he had also mustered the courage to place a call to Thailand twice. And even when he'd heard Viscount's voice in the background on one of the occasions, he
Stripping the CEO A Team
Within twenty-four hours, Clara had succeeded in making headlines in office group chats which almost equated Andre Quinn's in international gossip magazines. Virtually every fucking person, including her subordinates turned to CCTV cameras and historians who documented her every move so as to analyse them later. And because her boyfriend thrived on being so damn generous it hurt, he rode the elevator down to her floor during lunch break and walked into her office amdist the obvious scrutinising eyes and fingers waiting for crumbs of information about them. He fed it to them; hot cake and ice cream to wagging tongues, and even offered them a dessert by staying in her office for thirty minutes after instructing her shocked assistant to hold her calls. And in the sweetness of his endless generosity, he gave them a ticket to their next meal when he finally came out of her office with his hand gently grazing her back, his eyes concentrated on hers as she told him about the meeting s
Stripping the CEO Scandalous
"Thanks, babe." *** Clara Lynn was a myriad of forest greenness. Vibrant and arrestingly charming in an army green suit whose skirt was designed to accommodate a slit that currently rode up to her thighs, she revealed an ample amount of eye-catching skin which glowed in creaminess beneath dark panty hose. Adorned with tiny jewelry of nephrite which complemented her skin as perfectly as the bright rays of the sun currently streaming through the open blinds, she had elegance and opulence revolving around her even before she began the meeting. And in addition to her silver blonde hair styled in tiny curls with waterfall braids to create a delicate look which complemented her glass make-up perfectly, she naturally drew attention to herself. However, irrespective of the awareness that she was captivating, Clara didn't make the mistake of being arrogant enough to think she owed it all to her physical appearance. Because over the last twenty-four hours, she had been placed at the cen
Stripping the CEO Game Over
Andre understood what he hadn't said, and stared at the brown envelope with emptiness in his eyes and heart. He... Just needed a rest, a vacation. Marie cleared her throat as Viscount checked the time by the wall clock. Interesting, only twenty-five minutes had passed and twenty-five years worth of anger had been poured out within that short duration of time. "I... I didn't come with Anthony today to mock you, I'm sorry that I'm by his side despite the enmity between you two. I... I will end it with him if our union affects you. You're the most important person to me, baby..." "Becky?" Tony seemed genuinely betrayed and stunned and sad at the same time. Andre didn't know how to feel about any of it. Too many things had happened and his mind could only absorb little at a time. He couldn't give them his blessing because it wasn't in his place and watching his mother with a man who had been like an older brother to him wasn't exactly a sight for sore eyes. She was at least eleven y
Stripping the CEO Poker Game
"Dre..." Marie had started crying, quiet sobs spreading through the quiet room, her lean fingers pressed against her lips to stiffen the cries. But Andre didn't let that deter his continuation of that unpracticed speech. "Why don't you go ahead and pick the one you're the most beautiful in. Oh, you wouldn't know if you don't watch it. Should I play one for you...?" That was the point where Viscount's control snapped, and he stood with a force which made Clara's eyes dizzy for a second from watching him. "You fucking sleazy bastard! You are not in a position to cast judgement on her when you don't have a freaking idea what she's been through. Vengeance? Punishment? I should be the one casting it on you and your bastard of a dad for taking the company. My father fucking killed himself because of the way he was cast out!" "What? My father and I took the company? Remind me the number of times I contacted you after you started giving me the cold shoulder, asking what had gone wrong.
