Chapter 3

When she woke up the next morning, Athena felt like she had been dreaming. She was still not sure that she actually kissed Mason the previous night but the fact that her car was outside her building was proof enough given that she was not the one who drove it home. She looked at her reflection in the mirror as she put on her black printed wrap around dress. She took a long deep breath as she looked at her reflection. Even though she had lost weight and dropped down two sizes, she was still a plus size woman and there was not a single day that she didn’t miss being smaller. Being attractive. But thanks to Mackenzie’s tight eight hours a week schedule at the gym, she had managed to cut weight and no longer had to wear clothes that were big at the top to hide her flabby stomach. She had been spotting the perfectly flat stomach for eight months now and so far she liked what she saw.

“Size sixteen is not so bad,”
she thought as she secured the side button on her waist. She smiled as she looked at her reflection. She would have normally been okay with the outfit she had on but somehow, she could not help but wonder if she was appropriate. The dress she had on showed off her perfect curves and generous cleavage. She had chosen to straighten her hair out rather than rock her natural curls. She walked to her bed and sat on the edge and she put on a pair of nude colored stilettos and took her purse before she walked to the front door. It was still early, it was not even six yet but she just had to get to the office. It was not like she could sleep anyway, not after what had happened the previous night. She kept on wondering what would have happened if only Mason had agreed to come into her apartment.

By the time she got to the office, it was just a half hour past six. She put her purse and coffee on her desk before she took off her jacket. She had just sat down when saw Mason walking towards her.

“Mr. Alexander?” she said looking up. She was as surprised as ever as she stood up. Her boss usually came in at around nine or ten but somehow he was there much earlier than expected.

“I thought we were on first name basis already,” he said and she shook her head.

“A habit I don’t want to encourage,” she said as she pushed her dark hair back. “I would have got some coffee for you but I didn’t know you were going to be here this early.”

“I had no idea you were going to be here this early, either,” Mason said looking at her. “I thought everything about the deposition today was already in place.”

“It was. It is but I am an intern and apart from you I am still serving four other lawyers in this firm,” she said smiling.

“I know but six-thirty?” he asked and she shrugged.

“I am usually here around seven-thirty or something but,” she looked into his eyes. “I couldn’t sleep.”

Mason smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, that,” he said and she nodded.

“Yeah, that.” He turned around and looked at his office. “Maybe we should talk about it? Or something?” she asked and he nodded.

“Yes, I think we should,” he said as he gestured at the office door. She walked into his office and he closed the door behind him before walking over to his desk. She always felt a little small in his larger than life office. It could have been the size of her entire apartment as far as she was concerned…maybe even bigger.

He looked at her standing next to his desk and as if he could read her mind, he closed the blinds and locked the door.

“You locked the door,” she said in a whisper.

“I feel the need to,” he said as he began walking towards her. She leaned on the desk as he slowly walked towards her. She thought that he looked especially great in the black slim suit and burgundy shirt. Most men his age would not have been caught dead in a slim suit mostly because they didn’t have the body for it but his case was different. “Last night…I shouldn’t have done what I did,” he started and she shook her head.

“This is not what I want to talk about. I don’t want you to apologize for anything,” she said and he shrugged.

“You and I both know that I was wrong,” he said. He was slowly getting closer and closer to her. She could feel her heart beating harder and faster in her chest. “You are my friend’s daughter. I have known you since you were a little girl…hell, you could be my little girl.”

Athena shook her head and rolled her eyes.

“I really wish you wouldn’t do that, Mason,” she said, feeling a little angry.

“Great, we are back to first name basis, huh?” he asked. “And what is this you don’t want me to do?”

“Act like you are trying to protect me because I am a kid while we both know I am not,” she said. “I mean for Pete’s sake your last wife was younger than I am.”

“Well, she was not my best friend’s daughter,” he said and she shrugged.

“Out there, when my father is busy running his political campaigns and everything, I used to be Athena Wright but the minute I walked out of that would be sorry case that was my apparent engagement I became my own person. Just Athena.” She slowly brought her hand to her waist and undid the pin that held her dress together. “The Athena that you and I both know you want.” She gently parted the two sides of her dress and Mason ran his eyes down her almost naked body.

“Athena please…don’t do this,” he said as he looked at her. It was like he could not bring himself to look into her eyes. His eyes were fixated on her cleavage. “I can’t…” he started before she took a step forward getting herself right in front of him. She gently slipped a hand behind her neck and kissed him softly. It was a light feathery little kiss but it struck every single neuron in her body and his too. “Why did you do that?” he asked in a whisper when she pulled away.

“Because you did it last night and I liked it,” she whispered back. “And I have wanted to do that since that time I first saw you at my dad’s party when I was in college.”

“In all fairness you had seen me before,” he said and she shrugged.

“I know but it was different when I was in college,” she said, still whispering.

“Athena this…you and I, you know that it can’t…” he started as he held her against him.

“Stop talking, Mason. Just shut up and kiss me,” she said before she pulled him close and kissed him gently. This time he did not hold back. He pulled her even closer and held her tightly against his body. His hands were roaming all over her body, feeling every curve in his hands. She undid the single button on his jacket and pushed the jacket off his shoulders before she went ahead to loosen his tie and undo his short buttons. She was breathing into his mouth and he into hers, as they kissed and caressed. He lifted her and placed her on the edge of his desk and pulled away for a short minute so she could undo his other buttons. She pushed his shirt off his shoulders and barely had enough time to marvel at his body before he claimed her lips again. This time, it was his turn to push her dress off her shoulders as he stood in between her knees. He gently pulled her hair to one side of her neck and began kissing her neck. She moaned softly as he ran his tongue down her neck to her shoulder where he began nibbling on her shoulder. He slowly slipped a hand behind her back and undid her bra clasp in one move. She gasped when she felt her breasts suddenly free, hanging loosely on her chest. He pulled away and looked at her breasts. Athena could tell by the way he was breathing and by how hard his cock felt pressing hard against her thigh that he was excited, thoroughly aroused even. He gently lowered his head and took one of her nipples in his mouth. He was giving the other breast equal attention from his flicking fingertips and she had thrown her head back moaning softly as he sucked and licked her. Her nipple responded almost immediately, hardening in his mouth and in between his fingers. She was breathing hard as she tightened her grip on the edge of the desk. It had been a long time since she had been intimate but even then, she could tell that Mason Alexander was definitely well versed when it came to handling a woman’s body. She breathed a small sigh of relief when he released her nipple only to take in her other one.

When he finally pulled away, she was breathing hard. He looked at her for a short minute before he carried her over to the couch that lined one wall. He laid her down and ran his hands down the sides of her body until he got to her panties. She raised her hips allowing him to pull her panties down. She looked at him as he put his hands on her hips and slowly moved them lower and lower until he put his hands on her knees and parted them. She leaned back as he began to slowly caress her sensitive inside thigh. He lowered his head and began kissing her gently, slowly working his way up her leg. She instinctively spread her legs and he suddenly engulfed her pussy with his mouth. She was squirming on the couch as he kissed her and licked her, tasting her salty core. She dug her nails into the couch as he dipped his tongue into her wet salty depths until she just couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled away and quickly got out of his pants before he got on top of her. She was looking right into his eyes as he positioned himself at her opening. She took a long deep breath as he began working himself into her. She gasped and threw her head back as he continued pushing himself into her depths.

“Oh…fuck…” she whispered as he began working himself in and out of her. With every thrust she could feel herself being stretched out. It was almost too hard to handle his girth and length after a long period of not having any kind of male intimate contact. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he began moving harder and faster in and out of her. She was moaning and panting as he fucked her. She was actually surprised that he had so much stamina. He was literally fucking her as if he was a youngster. He was not slowing down and was not showing any signs of doing so any time soon. If anything, he was going harder into her than ever. His movements were almost mechanical, with every thrust ending in him slamming himself against her hard. The more he slammed against her, the closer she got to her climax. She wanted to scream as he went on fucking her harder and harder still. It did not take long before she felt her legs shaking and her walls tightening against his cock. She tightened her grip around her shoulders even more and cried out as she felt herself climaxing. Suddenly, he was fucking her harder and deeper than ever, and he was grunting a little too loudly. She buried her head in his shoulder and moaned as he climaxed, emptying into her.

“Fuck…Athena!” he cried out as his cock slipped out of her.

“I can’t tell you how long I have waited for that,” she said in a soft voice.

At the moment, she couldn’t tell but he wanted to talk. He wanted to tell her that he had been holding himself back for the longest time when it came to her but he was too exhausted to say anything.

Chapter 4

Athena would have wanted nothing more than a repeat of what had happened between her and Mason but the next few days had been pretty busy for the office. Even over the weekend. But that was how a legal office worked anyway. There was always hostile takeovers and bitter divorces. To make matters even worse for her, Mason spent most of the next week travelling. It was especially hard on her because even though there was no relationship to define as yet, she was having a hard time not thinking about him. All she wanted was to be in his arms again. Let him claim her over and over until she could just not wait to be in his arms again. And even though Mason and Athena had not been busted in their little ‘official’ rendezvous in his office, Athena could not help but feel awkward because she kept on stealing little glances at him since then…and the meetings were the worst because all that she could think of was just being with him again. And who could blame her? He had proven himself more than capable of handling a young woman in her prime.

Athena had just sat down at her desk when she heard her phone vibrating in her purse. She pulled it out and looked at the screen, a wide grin on her face. It was a text from Mason after almost four days of being completely silent.

Hello beautiful. Hope you’ve missed me as much as I have missed you. How about a breakfast date?

She gently ran her thumb over her phone screen as she looked at the Styrofoam cup in front of her.

Of course I have. Breakfast sounds great but I already have my morning coffee staring at me.

She leaned back in her seat and sighed as she sent the text. There was something about Mason that made her feel like a giddy schoolgirl. It was just minutes before she got another text.

Coffee is barely enough to begin your day. You need so much more than just caffeine.

A smile played on Athena’s lips as she typed her reply.

I was planning on getting a breakfast burrito so there is that.

She was a little too excited to even notice her workmates walking by. The office was already abuzz with activity but nothing else was happening around her as far as she was concerned.

Ditch your breakfast plans and drive to 141 Penn State Avenue. The doorman will let you up.

Athena raised an eyebrow over the other as she read the last text over and over again.

“141 Penn State Avenue,”
she wondered as she gently drummed her fingers on the desk.
“That’s Stonebridge Deluxe.”

Stonebridge Deluxe was a five star hotel downtown and Athena did not understand why he would be there. She knew for a fact that he had a town house on the outskirts of town and a penthouse at the Intercontinental Hotel plaza. A smile played on her lips as she shook her head. For a minute there she had actually forgotten what the life of the rich and the famous was.

I have work to do, remember? Besides, the day just began.

She took a sip of her coffee and another text came in.

And I am your boss…I don’t think there would be any problem with you walking out of there.

She sighed silently and shook her head.

What about the other associates at the firm?

His reply made her smile.

Right now it’s all about me and you. Just walk out and come over. Remember 141 Penn State Avenue. I’m waiting.

Athena didn’t need any second bidding. She picked up her purse and coffee and began walking towards the elevator. She dumped her coffee in a bin near the elevator and then pressed the button, her heart racing. She could hardly believe that she was actually ditching work to go see her…boyfriend? Lover? She didn’t even know what they were but it didn’t really matter to her.

                                                                      *****

When she got to Stonebridge Deluxe, she went up to the VIP suite and gently knocked on the door.

“There you are,” Mason said when he opened the door. She smiled and walked into the room. As soon as she was inside, he slipped an arm around her waist and pinned her against the door making her gasp. She closed her eyes when he gently claimed her lips in one long, searching kiss. She was almost breathless by the time he pulled away.

“I missed you,” he said as he gently caressed the side of her face.

“I missed you too,” she said in a soft voice.

“I got room service to send over a proper breakfast,” he said, still a few inches from her face. She looked at the trolley in the living room and even from that distance, she could tell that he had taste when it came to food. He had been right to think that a breakfast burrito wouldn’t cut it because the trolley was full of exotic fruit, perfectly crispy bacon, at least two types of freshly squeezed fruit juices and waffles.

“You sure went all out,” she said raising an eyebrow and he shrugged as he led her to where the trolley was.

“Well, you are definitely worth it,” he said as he pulled her chair back and she sat down before he walked round to the other side of the table. “So, I passed by a store on my way here. I wanted to get something nice for you and you know what I found out?” he asked as he poured her a glass of orange juice. “You have been holding out on me.”

She shrugged and raised an eyebrow over the other.

“What?” she asked and he pulled up a black shopping bag with the word ‘Ace’ written on it in silver grey. She could have recognized that brand from anywhere. It was actually
her
brand.

“I thought being an intern was your job,” he said and she nodded.

“It is but it’s not my
only
job,” she said before she took a long sip of her juice. She took the bag from him and looked inside. A smile played on her lips when she saw a pair of black peep toe ankle boots. It was one of the new designs she had brought in just earlier that year and her biggest sellers yet. “Even I don’t own a pair of this yet,” she said as she looked into his eyes. “There is usually a waiting list for this particular pair.”

“Let’s just say that I got really lucky,” Mason said. “Imagine to my surprise when I saw a picture of you on one wall of the store.”

She smiled as she picked up her fork from the table.

“My best friend convinced me to do that,” she said.

“Care to tell me about it?” he asked and she nodded.

“Remember when I said I had a nest egg?” He nodded. “Well, you found it,” she said. “It was something I always wanted to do so back when I still had an allowance, I saved up a few thousand dollars and got Ace running and thank God I did because Martha Wright does not fold. Ever.”

Mason smiled and nodded.

“Tell me about it.” He took a bite from his own plate. “Speaking of your parents, I thought you should know that I bumped into them earlier this week in Washington. Your father seemed very worried about you.”

She looked up and shook her head.

“Well, they have a very weird way of showing it,” she said before she took another bite of her bacon.

“I know that there is bad blood between you but…” he started before she smiled and shrugged uncomfortably.

“Mason, I’m sorry but this is not something I want to talk about,” she said, cutting him short. “They made their bed and now they have to lie in it because honestly there is no way I am going to condone them crawling back into my life.”

“You really feel strongly about this, don’t you?” he asked and she nodded.

“Well, yes of course. I mean you would too if the people you loved offered to pimp you out to advance a political career.”

He raised an eyebrow over another and shook his head.

“They did what?” he asked. “Are you talking about the engagement to Aubrey Ryan?”

She nodded.

“It was never anything real. All my father wanted was Aubrey’s father sizeable donation for his campaign and the Ryans did not want to let the world know that their son was gay.” She took another sip of her juice. “It’s still a sore subject.”

“I always thought you moved away after a bitter separation,” he said and she shook her head.

“That was the story the Wrights and the Ryans fed the world.”

Mason looked into her eyes for a long time before he finally spoke again.

“What if I gave you a permanent position at Alexander, Fleming & Associates?” he asked and she shook her head.

“I like interning. I mean it gives me a real feel of what life is like for when I actually take the bar,” she said. “Besides I am still trying to get Ace countrywide so…I am willing to work my way up.”

“The offer is on the table for as long as you need it to be,” he said and she smiled.

“Thanks for the offer but then again, I didn’t sleep with you to get up the corporate ladder, you know,” she said and he shook his head, grinning.

“Thank God because I don’t want to stop,” he said in a whisper and she pushed her chair back before she stood up. She walked round to where he was and took his hand.

“I don’t think it is about to,” she said as she pulled him up. She led him to the bed and gently put her hands on his waist.

“Breakfast?” he asked.

“There is always room service,” she said in a soft voice, smiling and he smiled back nodding.

“But what about this? Us. What are we doing here, Athena?” he asked as she pulled his pants down.

“I don’t know yet but I like doing it so far,” she said in a whisper as she sunk to her knees. He looked at her as she wrapped her fingers on his flaccid cock. His heart was racing as she took his still limp cock in his mouth. She gently ran her tongue around the head of his cock and he was slowly getting hard inside her mouth. He leaned against the bed as she went on licking and sucking making him more and more rigid inside her mouth. He was moaning softly as she took more and more of him inside her mouth.

“Holy shit, Athena,” he moaned as she took him deep inside her throat, deeper than he had ever thought possible. She had amazing gag reflex and the way he was moaning only made her want to go on. “You keep going like that and I swear there will be nothing left for you,” he said in a whisper and she pulled away. A smile played on her lips as she looked at the monster she had helped create. He quickly took off his shirt and helped her to her feet. They were both breathing hard and heavy as he helped her get out of her blouse and skirt. He then turned her around and held her against himself, his hand on her breast, kneading and squeezing. She moaned as he trailed kisses down her back as he undid her bra and pulled down her panties.

“Perfect. Flawless,” he whispered as he looked at her chocolate brown skin.

He turned her around and gently pushed her down on the bed, his cock at her entrance. Although she was wet, he was struggling to get himself inside her, which was understandable considering how big he was. She looked into his eyes as he pushed his hips down on her. She was gasping, whimpering and moaning as his cock stretched her out. She let out a loud groan when he finally buried himself inside her.

Mason was holding himself back as much as he could because God knew he wanted to pummel her, fuck her so hard she cried out but instead he was slowly working himself in and out of her, all the while looking into her eyes. Athena was craving more of him. She instinctively] wrapped her leg around his waist and pulled him deeper into her and just like that, Mason knew that she was ready for him. He took her other leg and she secured it around his waist before he pulled back and slammed into her. It was not as hard as she would have wanted but he was working towards it.

Suddenly, without any warning, Mason began to swiftly work his mammoth cock in and out of her, fast and hard. She would have wanted to scream, moan…or anything really, but everything was happening a bit too fast. He was literally knocking the air out of her mouth with each thrust. Every time he sunk himself into her, she gasped for air. He was crushing he breasts with his strong muscular torso. She moaned her disappointment when he suddenly pulled his length out of her. He raised himself and looked down at her.

“Turn around,” he said. The tone in his voice made it sound a little more like a command rather than a request. She did as he asked and moved higher up on the bed as he positioned himself behind her. She rested on her elbows and pushed her ass high up in the air. He reached under her and began rubbing her clit making her writhe. She almost had an overwhelming urge to lie down as he brought her closer and closer to her edge. She was almost exploding when he suddenly stopped rubbing her over sensitive bud and pushed his cock into her.

Athena cried out loudly as she felt herself suddenly full of cock. In this position, he was deeper than she had ever had him. She grabbed fistfuls of the bedding as Mason began working himself in and out of her from behind. He was working long strokes into her, over and over making her pussy drenched. He was doing everything right: slamming himself into her and spanking her and she could feel herself getting closer and closer to her climax. She suddenly felt him grip her hips before he began driving himself into her relentlessly. His cock was obviously unyielding by the way he was driving himself into her, his pace steady.

She suddenly cried out loudly as she felt herself exploding. The force in her pussy was so much that it pushed his cock right out of her. She was trembling as she squirt her cum all over his thigh. She had barely recovered when he suddenly shoved himself back into her. It took just a few thrusts before she felt him pulsating inside her.
