LAKE
“The majority voted for Lake to come and take the position of CEO. What do you think, Wallace?” Or this was his strategy.
It felt like my father wasn’t expecting that decision from the boards.
“He resigned and left from his position as the CFO, and now the seat was taken over by Stoll. We should respect his decision.” Of course, he would say that in a polite manner, of course. Deep inside, he was furious with the unanimous decisions and happy that I was gone.
“My father was right. It was personal. I don’t want to go into the details, but I hope everyone would respect it.”
After the brief report of the quarter profits, I should have paid more attention to their discussions. Once the meeting ended, I walked out of the room after shaking hands with everyone, including my father.
I hadn’t made it far, but he called my name.
“A minute, Lake?” he called me again from the conference room door.
I slightly nodded as I looked at everyone leaving the room. Once everyone was gone, I shut the door, and his assistant was still standing at the corner. I didn’t know how she could tolerate my father, but given that it paid well, maybe Wallace Winston was only evil to me.
“What is it, Dad?”
“You should come back.”
My brows arched. “Give me a reason why.”
“I know we haven’t been on good terms lately, but forget our arguments. This is your chance of a lifetime, and you’ve been working hard for this position. I know how anger could lead someone to make a drastic decision, but take a day or two to think about it.”
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
“You don’t get it, do you, Dad? That’s the best decision I’ve ever made, and you can’t hold it against me if I leave this company. I have shares, a seat on this table, yet you never treated me like one. I still don’t know why. It still puzzles me. The only reason I could think of is maybe you’re scared of my success and maybe because I am better than you when you were my age.”
“You’re making the biggest mistake, son.”
“Maybe.” I shrugged. I couldn’t believe I was still calm. Maybe this was what peace felt like. “But I’ve never been happier being out of your hair. I left because this place has become toxic for me. It has caused my mental health. Maybe. Maybe I would consider the boards if you’re not the Chairman and President anymore.”
“You can’t do that. They can’t do that. I am still the major shareholder of this company. I have my name on it, and I owned it.”
“Well, then. You have my decision.”
“This is your downfall, Lake.” The way he said it, he knew he was losing instead of winning. It must have taunted him.
“Maybe. At least I feel freedom before my downfall and take it as a win.” I turned around until I remembered something. “Aurelia. Really? Nice touch, by the way. Just be careful. She’s not what you think she is. She can be a chameleon or a snake. And she definitely bites.”
“This woman. She keeps you on her short leash, is she?” Well, I would have loved it if it was her kink.
I turned around and breathed deeply before I said something terrible. “And if she is? That’s not your problem. That’s between me and Maverick.”
“Are you still going to stay with her after the arrangement?”
I sighed audibly. “My problem, Dad.”
“You could have married a better woman, Lake. What did you see in her? I don’t see anything special.”
“Dad, this is your problem. You don’t look through someone’s heart. Maybe that’s why you and Mom didn’t work.”
“That’s a different story,” he said defensively.
“Maybe, but Maverick is not giving me a reason to leave the relationship. She’s my home. She’s my peace of mind.”
“You’re fooling yourself, but yeah. I’ll give you a year or two. You’re going to be fed up with her and dump her for hookups.”
“Was that how you felt with Mom? Or because you were fed up and couldn’t control her, and she’s an alpha woman who has a mind of her own.”
His expression suddenly changed, eyes slanting, and the beast leashed out. “This woman will destroy our good name.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. She will be just like Mom. A strong woman who can stand on her own without me, and I will have her support in all her endeavors.”
“Like working at the bar? How do you expect her to thrive when she doesn’t even dream big.”
“We’ll get there.” I turned, opened the door, and never turned back.
***
Nobody felt what I felt being with Maverick. Nobody experienced my peace when I was with her, and I was lucky that I found the right and perfect woman for me. She was my home, and I was right to tell my father that.
And she was my peace.
“Fuck.” I grunted as my thrust became hard and fast. She was so tight, and her warm pussy felt like suctioning my cock in.
The moment she arched her back and grounded into me, I knew she was about to come. I pressed my finger on her clit, and she screamed my name, and her body convulsed beautifully, eyes wild as she shuddered out her climax.
I quickened my pace, hard and fast, until I felt like flying. Pleasure rushed through my spine, making me shiver. My balls were heavy, and my dick swelled inside her.
“Jesus.” My spine tingled. A thin sheen of sweat covered our bodies. I leaned down to kiss her lips, suck her jaw, and licked the length of her beautiful neck. She was still sensitive from her orgasm. She groaned and shivered. “Baby, you feel so fucking good. It feels better every day.”
“You feel good, too,” she said in a daze, eyes heavy with bliss.
“And your pussy is so sweet, and I wouldn’t change it for a billion dollars. This is mine. Do you fucking understand me? You’re mine, Maverick Winston.”
I didn’t wait for her to reply. I slammed into her. Hard- forcing farther as deep as I could go. I might destroy her for tonight, but she felt good, and I couldn’t get enough of her. And she gave everything she could.
I held her legs up, put them over my shoulder so I could fuck her better and deeper. Then I gripped her hips, pulling her into me before I thrust deep.
“Oh God!” she screamed. I knew she was going to come around me again. She already did three times tonight, but she could give me more. Her body trembled instantly. “I can’t. Fuck, Lake. You need to give me a break.”
“You will once I make you come again,” I said through greeted teeth. Our bodies became slick, and beads of sweat formed on my forehead, streaking down my neck and back. “You thought I couldn’t make you come more than twice.”
“Shit. You’re a horse.”
I almost laughed. The veins on my neck popped out with my effort to fuck harder. “A Mustang. And I owned this pretty little body, this pussy, these tits. I will fuck you until I can’t move my hips from a back pain.”
“Stop talking.” She bit her swollen bottom lip, eyes still needy.
I chuckled, but I never stopped rocking into her. Her tits bounced freely in front of me, her grip on my arms tightened. “You prefer dirty talk. I know it, wife. It makes you wetter. Don’t worry. You’re a lay of a century. You destroy me, Maverick.” This woman had me upside down, but I wasn’t scared anymore.
“Oh, God! Yes.”
“I know, baby. Touch your clit, make yourself feel good. I want to see you come again.”
“I think you destroy me.” Tears streaked down at the corner of her eyes, but she still obeyed me.
“You destroyed me first. You can crush me, make me bleed. I don’t give a shit.”
She did as I told her to, moving her hand between her thighs. Her head threw back instantly the moment she pressed her fingers against her clit and began moving in circles. She melted under me.
“Argh!” Her voice quivered. Her skin turned pink-a mesmerizing sight that filled me with satisfaction and drove me wild.
“Yes. That’s it. Come around me, beautiful.” When she started clenching around me, I released her legs, bent forward, and kissed her. She came instantly.
Burying my hands in her hair, I delved my tongue in her mouth. Her taste, tightness, and wetness were my last straw.
My heart galloped in my chest. My breathing caught up as pleasure spiked up my body, sending right to my cock.
I groaned, cursing out, sinking my teeth against the skin on her shoulder as I came so hard I almost passed out.
