Chapter 10: Swinging Both Ways

-o-0-o-

In your face! I thought, as I slammed the assignment on his desk organized into 2 neat folders. Though it was only there for a moment, I adored the surprised look on his face with his eyebrows shot up and his lips slightly parted. I loved proving wrong those who doubted me. When he gave me the assignment in the first place, the smug look on his face told me that he didn't really believe I could do it. But I did and with time to spare.

He commented that I was early and asked if it was completed to perfection. "Yes sir. I'm quite confident that you will be pleased with it. I wouldn't turn in anything less than my best work." I replied. Then out of nowhere I heard a cracking sound and my eyes darted to the pen in his hand which was now leaking ink. I successfully stifled a laugh. Was he that bothered that I beat him at his own challenge? Serves him right! He kicked me out of his office then. I closed the door behind me and looked out at the waiting room. There was a man with salt and pepper coloured hair who looked to be in his late forties wearing a beige suit and a chocolate brown tie. He was sitting in a chair reading today's paper. "Can I help you?" I asked. He looked up and smiled a friendly smile.

"Yes, I have an appointment with Mr. Shotai. Is he available?" He asked in a raspy smoker's voice.

I quickly looked through Mr. Shotai's appointments on my computer. He was five minutes early. "Are you Mr. Daijou?" He smiled and nodded. "Ok one moment please." I stood and opened the door to Mr. Shotai's office but couldn't remember the words I wanted to say when he stood there shirtless with a fresh white shirt in hand. I wanted to place my hands on the broad muscular chest and shoulders just to see what they felt like. His body was… I didn't have the word. His eight pack of abs were perfectly chiselled as if he were made of marble and some genius of a sculptor left their masterpiece standing there holding his shirt and glaring at me. Wait… he's glaring at me! Shit! I'm staring too long.

I collected my scattered thoughts and cleared my throat realizing he had asked me a question. After I told him what he needed to know I was dismissed but couldn't help sneaking another peak before leaving his office. I don't ever remember being so drawn and, dare I say it, attracted to a male body. His body. I prefer the soft curves of a woman but for some reason the hardness of him made me forget myself and where I was. I tried picturing soft luscious breasts, curvy hips, shit even a fucking vagina but his body stayed vivid in my memory. I'm so confused. Why was I feeling like this? I put a hand to my forehead to be sure I wasn't sick. Then I placed a hand over my heart as if that would help slow it down.

"Um, is everything ok?" I was jerked from my thoughts by the man I had forgotten was there. I smiled at him.

"Yes, Mr. Shotai will be with you shortly." I told him, and I sat in my seat.

-o-0-o-

My boss returned from his board meeting but he looked miles away from happy. He stormed toward his office door with a short, balding man following sullenly behind. We made eye contact with each other and the little man for a moment, had a look that told me he was afraid for his life. I couldn't help but feel sorry him. He pursed his lips and disappeared into the office. Poor guy. I never want to end up in his position.

Suddenly I heard my phone vibrate in my desk. I pulled it out and saw that I had one new text message from Sango.

U goin to that party?

The annual party Mr. Shotai is throwing has been the talk of the entire office building ever since I posted the flyers. People that attended previous parties shared tons of interesting stories. I texted back my response.

Dunno yet. Still thinking

I got a text back almost instantly.

Plz plz plzzzz go! I'm only goin if u r! Come on its gunna b fun :)

I was startled then by a loud bang on my desk and I dropped my phone on its surface. I watched as it bounced once and landed face up beside the hand that had slammed my desk. "Texting on the job? Some secretary you turned out to be." I looked up and was confused to see a man with long silver hair and golden eyes. However, his eyes weren't cold like the ones I was used to. They were more… fiery and younger. He had adorable little doggy ears on his head. I kind of wanted to touch them after I saw them twitch, just to make sure they were real but decided against it. He looked similar to Mr. Shotai so I figured they must be related.

"Don't worry about what I'm doing." I snapped. Already just looking at this guy I was annoyed. His boyish good looking face seemed to hold a permanent cocky expression. I retrieved my phone and dropped it back into the top drawer. He glared at me and I glared right back. Then he looked towards my boss' closed office door.

"I need to speak with my bastard brother." He said walking towards the door.

"I'm afraid Mr. Shotai isn't available at the moment. You can either leave a message with me or come back at another time." I said.

"Whatever he's doing can wait." He put his hand on the doorknob ready to turn it. Was this guy really going to try my patience? I was beginning to wonder which brother was the bigger bastard. I stood up, moved toward him and smacked his hand from the door.

"For a demon with dog ears you sure are hard of hearing. I said to come back. Don't like it? Tough!" I told him trying to keep my voice even. His mouth was left slightly open as if he didn't know what to say. He smirked and turned back toward the elevators. Once he got on he one, he

managed to sneak in one last comment before the doors closed.

"Suck my dick." Then he was gone. What a fucking child! I've never met someone so damn irritating and immature!

The door to the office burst open and the balding man somehow managed to make it out alive. He gave me a look of relief and I mustered up a smile for him even though I was no longer in a good mood.

Before I could settle back into work mode, I heard Mr. Shotai on the intercom. "Ms. Higurashi can I see you in my office." His words were a question, but his tone was not. I sighed, walked into his office and greeted him.

"Afternoon, sir." I waited patiently for him to give me instructions. I'm not sure if he realized but a lot of time had passed, and he didn't say a word. I put my hands on my hips and his eyes followed. Was he watching my every move? I have to be extra careful. "Mr. Shotai? May I ask what I've been called for?" I politely asked.

"No, you may not." Wait. What? What exactly is he trying to pull here? I waited again, my patience wearing as thin as paper. I waited and waited, staring into his cool amber eyes. He made no move so I began to leave, but apparently he wanted me to stay. He finally told me what he wanted. That's it? He had me waiting so long just to tell me to contact security? He can't be serious, that can't be all. I asked him and was infuriated when he said no.

"Mr. Shotai, with all due respect -" But then the fucker cut me off.

"Stop talking Ms. Higurashi." He said bluntly. Excuse me? I know he didn't just say that. I struggled to breath normally and contain my anger. Fuck it, I threw all professionalism out the window. I'd probably regret it later but I didn't give a damn in the moment.

"Don't…fucking… toy with me." And as soon as I said it, he disappeared. Where did he go? I had shivers crawl up my spine when he spun me around to face him. I often forget what demons are capable of. We were so close I could feel his breath on my face. I wanted to press into him, for some reason. Despite my anger towards him I couldn't help being turned on by the close proximity. Did he have to be a man though? No matter what, I will not show him how much he affects me.

"Don't fucking what now? Listen here Ms. Kagome Higurashi, I do what I please." The deepness of his voice rumbled through me and set my heart speeding so hard I could feel the pulse in my throat and the butterflies in my stomach. He didn't sound angry the look in his eye was more of a challenge than anything. Fine, challenge accepted. I took his hand away from my face, but my eyes were fixated on his unusually pretty, pink, cupid bow lips.

"You heard me. I think you'll also find out very quickly that I don't care what you do. I have work to do. Work that you sir, have given me. Now stop wasting my time and let me get back to work." I said. We paused where we were for a moment and his eyes fluttered closed. I watched as a lock of his long, silver hair spilled over his shoulder and cascade down his chest and past his stomach. Then I saw it. Who the hell carries something that big in a suitpocket? Upon wondering what it could possibly be, I noticed that whatever it was couldn't possibly be in his pocket as it was entirely too close to the center. My eyes bulged out of my head and my legs nearly gave out. Do they seriously come that big? In all honesty I wouldn't know. I suddenly couldn't look at him. I was uncomfortable and trapped.

"Look at me." I heard him say, but just barely because my pulse beat like drums in my ears. I couldn't look at him again because being around him suddenly made me nervous. Finally, he stepped out of my way and I scampered out of is office. I slumped my weak body back into my chair and let out a sigh of relief. Pulling my cell phone out again I replied to Sango's last text.

Sry but Im not goin after all. C u home

When I stepped out of the shower, I heard 'Beautiful People" by Chris Brown playing in my room. It took me a second to realize that it was my ring tone. I dashed down the hall and ended up slipping and falling on my knee. "Shit! Fuck my life!" I yelled out in pain and scrambled back to my feet. I picked up my phone and put it to my ear. I was panting and couldn't catch my breath.

"Hello? Kagome? Are you ok?" It was Kagura and I was so relieved to hear her voice.

"Yea yea I'm great!" I replied.

"Oh good. Are you home yet?" Her voice was anxious, and it made me smile.

"Yes, I'm home now wanna come over?" I asked.

"Of course! Be there soon!" She hung up the phone. I put on a pair of grey sweat shorts and a white tank top. Not even 15 minutes passed by and I already heard her land on the roof and walk towards the direction of my window. I walked over to open it and she swung through knocking me down. She landed right on top of me. "Oh! Baby I'm so sorry!" She said covering her mouth with both hands. She sat up straddling my waist. I shook my head rubbing my hands up and down her thighs.

"Damn what an entrance…" I said staring into those shocking crimson eyes of hers. Yes, this is what I'm more familiar with. The touch of a woman. It was such a relief to feel her soft flesh beneath my fingers and to see her cleavage with her nipples poking through her pretty, purple sundress. She smiled at me and got up to sit on my bed. She patted the spot beside her indicating for me to join her. Sitting beside her she held my hands in hers.

"Guess what? I just figured out a way for us to stop sneaking around behind my husbands back. Well almost." She was so excited I could feel her energy practically bouncing off the walls of the room. I gasped.

"Seriously? How?" I gave her hands a squeeze.

"You know the anniversary party Sesshomaru is throwing?" She asked, and I nodded. Oh no, please don't tell me she's going to say what I think she's going to say!

"Well when you come to the party," She began. "He'll introduce me to you of course and we can get 'acquainted' for him to see. We can pretend we're just getting to know each other. That's just the beginning. After the party he'll see that we're now 'friends' and I can start inviting you to my place when he's not home and I don't have to worry about him catching your scent on me." Damn I didn't want to go to the party, but the plan sounds fool proof and I just didn't have it in me to say no to her.

"Sounds like the perfect plan to me! It would be nice to have more freedom." I smiled at her and she threw her arms around my neck while I squeezed her tight.

"You know what?" She pulled away and put a hand on my thigh. "How about I ask him to introduce you to me before the party? I'd love to have a reason to take you shopping and buy you a dress."

"No, you don't have to buy me anything. I'll buy my own." I told her. I guess I just confirmed that I'm going to the party after all. Ever since that earlier scene in my boss' office I wanted very minimal contact with him. Going to that party will ensure more contact with him.

"I didn't ask for your permission. I'm getting you a new dress whether you like it or not." She told me with all seriousness. She wasn't going to give me an option. She was like her husband in that way. Very stubborn.

I sighed. "Fine, whatever makes you happy."

"It's not my happiness I'm concerned about my dear." She said drawing closer to me. I closed the distance locking my lips with hers. We made out passionately until she broke away. "I'll be back later ok? My husband will almost be home, and I'd like to talk to him. I'll come back for you, I promise. She purred between kisses. I nodded and she stood up and I followed her to the window. We spent a long moment just staring at each other before I kissed her one last time. Then she was gone. Falling back on to my bed, I closed my eyes to think about her when suddenly the image of long silver hair, chilling amber eyes and the body of a god replaced my previous thoughts. I gasped and shot up in my bed.

"No, no, no, noooo!" I groaned holding my head in my hands.

I walked into work a week later with a note waiting for me on my desk.

Good morning Ms. Higurashi,

I would just like to inform you that I wish to become better acquainted with you. I feel that if we get to know each other more and if your work ethics meet my high standards, I may have a promotion available to you as not only my secretary, but also my personal assistant in the future. Which means you will become a big part of not only my company but also matters outside of my business as well. I would actually also like to formally introduce you to my wife, for the simple fact that you may often come into contact with her if you get the promotion. I am pleased with your performance thus far and expect for you to keep up the good work. Here is my address, I expect you over for dinner tonight at 6:30 sharp. Dress casually. If you have any questions please come and see me.

- Mr. S. Shotai

I couldn't stop my jaw from dropping. A potential promotion was awesome news but dinner? Wasn't that a bit… much? Was it his or Kagura's idea? It was probably Kagura's, but the thought of it made me nervous as hell. I took a deep breath and pushed it to the back of my mind. If I'm going to get that promotion I need to get to work. I've never been offered a promotion just 3 months into a job before.

After getting tons of work done and my lunch break came around and I stared at the calendar for a long moment. The day of the party was just two days away now and I wondered what Kagura would like to see me wear.

"Ms. Higurashi." I heard his deep voice ringing through the intercom.

"Yes sir?"

"Get me a coffee right away." He said. I rolled my eyes. Seriously? He had to ask me on my break? I went to the coffee machine and brewed his coffee black just the way he liked it. I knocked on his door but there was no answer. After knocking a few more times, I decided to just let myself in. His chair was turned around facing the incredible view out the window.

"Your coffee sir." I said walking further into his office and placing it on his desk. He didn't turn around. "Mr. Shotai?" I asked but there was no answer. Oh so now he was ignoring me? I marched right up to his white, leather chair and spun it around. "What the fuck?" I said. Where was he?

"Right here." I heard his voice to the left of me, and I spun around to see him walking out of his washroom fixing his tie. "Ms. Higurashi, you have a very dirty mouth. Do I need to do something about that?"

"No, Mr. Shotai." I squared my shoulders. I was nervous all over again, but I stood my ground.

"Good, because I kind of like it." He said in a low voice even though we were the only ones in his office. I froze and stopped breathing. What did he just say? "By the way, when its just the two of us call me Sesshomaru." Where was all this coming from? Not able to find words to say I nodded. "I'd also like to be able to call you by your first name as well. Is that alright with you… Kagome?" I looked out the window I shrugged my shoulders trying for nonchalance when in reality, my stomach did a flip and my heart stopped and restarted from the mention of my name on his lips. The way he said it sounded so intimate.

"Sure, whatever floats your boat, sir" I told him as I leaned back on his desk. He leered at me and walked closer. The look in his eye was playful which threw me off because I was more used to him being bitter and serious all the time. He looked down and bent over to touch my knee sending a shiver up my spine that felt more like an electric shock.

"What happened here?" He asked. I raised a brow and looked at what he was talking about. To my surprise there was a fading, light green bruise. I thought for a moment and I remembered falling on my knee last week. I remembered because Kagura came over right after and it was hard to forget a visit from Kagura even if I tried. Well not that I tried to forget anyway.

"Nothing important." I wasn't about to tell him I slipped and fell. How lame! "Anyway, I brought the coffee you asked for." I looked over my shoulder at the steaming cup of coffee. He held my chin and turned me to look at him.

"What do you think of me, Kagome?" He asked. I was caught off guard.

"Ummm…" I was stuck. What do you say to that? He trailed his index finger along my jaw line raising the hairs on the back of my neck.

"And be honest with me or you're fired." He said casually. I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him.

"Yea? And how the hell would you be able to tell if I'm lying or not?" The challenge seeped out of my voice.

"Believe me, I'll know." He replied, running a hand through his sleek silver hair. He wasn't serious. Was he? Fine honesty is what he wants then honesty is what he will get. I sat up on his desk and crossed my legs. He was acting so strange, and as much as I wanted to, I couldn't deny his touch. I looked in his eyes rimmed with thick silver lashes. When I really took him in, I noticed how girly those long lashes made his eyes look. It was really… pretty. I cleared my throat feeling heat rush to my face and praying he didn't notice.

"Well," I paused, trying to assemble the words I was going to say. "You can be rude, pushy, and extremely intimidating. Not to say that I think you are intimidating, but I'm just generally speaking. Your ego is the absolute biggest I've ever seen! You're terribly cocky, and it's just shocking how much of a bastard you can be. You can also be a little insensitive at times to." I paused again when his expression became impassive giving nothing away. I sighed and continued. "But on the upside," He raised a brow but still didn't say a word and patiently waited for me to finish. "You're a hard worker, very intelligent and you're ambitious enough to get whatever you put your mind to even if you don't always do it in the best of ways. And… and… you're…" I swallowed hard and looked out the window again. "You're abnormally beautiful, your eyes are cold but… nice. I mean if you weren't married, there's no doubt you'd be Japan's number one bachelor." I summoned the strength to look at him again after saying that. What was I thinking? I didn't have to say the last parts. I suppose I was just saying what I was thinking. The corners of his lips turned up slightly.

"In all my life you're the second woman to be completely honest with me in what they think about me." He replied.

"Who's the first?" I asked.

"My wife." He replied. Oh, duh Kagome. All the same it sort of felt like he was flirting with me so I had to set the record straight.

"Well I don't know how accurate I am, because I'm really not into men so I don't know them at all." I crossed my arms again like some sort of protective shield against him.

"Are you still being honest with me?" He asked, and I took a moment to think that over. Why did he ask me that?

"Sesshomaru," I tried his name out. "I'm a lesbian, remember? I like a nice pair of tits and a juicy ass just as much as you do."

"Are you sure you're one hundred percent lesbian though? Can you really say that you don't like men at all?" Was that a trick question? Whether it was or it wasn't it was still inappropriate to ask.

I leaned forward even though we were already close as it is. I wanted him to hear this loud and clear. "Let me make this clear. I. Like. Pussy." I can't believe I just said that to my boss. We stared at each other in silence and he ran his tongue over his soft pink lips that couldn't possibly ever be dry. Then he smiled a smile that actually lasted on his face for once, and it was so beautiful I nearly choked on the air I was breathing.

"Kagome, I can't help but notice that you keep dodging my questions." He said, and the amused look on his face didn't change. I couldn't say anything. I mean what could I say to that? In a way I guess I kind of was dodging his questions because the truth is I didn't know anymore. "So… if I did this," Then he leaned in and kissed me briefly. "Your being lesbian would stop you from enjoying that?" I lightly touched my lips frozen with shock.

"Y-ye-"

"Don't lie to me, you were doing so well being honest before. Don't stop now." He leaned in close again placing both hands on either side of me. His lips were the slightest brush against mine when he spoke again. "Now try again." His voice was low and deep and I couldn't answer because I pulled him in by his suit collar and kissed him hungrily as if I were starving and he was the last morsel of food on earth. We gasped for air when we pulled away staring at each other in confusion like wild feral creatures. Then we dove into each other again. I couldn't explain my actions or why it excited me when a growl erupted from him and he picked me up and threw me down on his desk knocking off his cup of coffee. That was the least of our worries right now. He hovered above me and I cried out when he caught my bottom lip and sucked on it. That was one of my weaknesses and he found it effortlessly. Before I could even imagine what other weaknesses he could find he pressed his hardened need in his pants against me, rubbing my clit through my panties with it and the scream I let out couldn't be stopped. What was he doing to me?

It terrified me how big he was, but as long as he kept it in his pants I wouldn't cower away in fear. Though it was astonishing how I wasn't doing that now. His hand made its way to my left breast squeezing and massaging it expertly and remarkably he managed to stimulate and harden the nipple through the stiff material of my suit and bra. I was completely dizzy with pleasure and I couldn't believe that I enjoyed every second of it. I loved how his tongue slid so easily into my mouth and round and around my tongue. I loved how his body pressed into mine leaving no spaces between us… and how his hands felt like fire on the skin of my exposed thighs, and the firm greedy grip he had on my ass.

As I wrapped my legs tightly around him, he rocked me into an indescribably forceful orgasm sending me soaring far away from earth and passed the clouds. My body arched lifting us both partially off the desk. I could feel him shuddering into his own orgasm just seconds after I started mine. I moaned and screamed into his mouth and I could feel the groan pouring past his lips, down my throat and into the very center of my pleasure lengthening and strengthening my orgasm even more than I thought possible.

I fluttered back down to earth and opened my eyes. We were both panting so hard it seemed like there was a lack of oxygen in the room. The sexy, lustful look on his face made me melt all over again… and to think I experienced such a thing fully clothed. I was amazed by that fact alone. This is the first time something like this had ever happened before. He kept staring at me, studying every inch of my face and I did the same with him. I ran my fingers through his long, silky hair.

There was an unexpected knock at the door causing me to remember where I was. "Mr. Shotai?"

"Shit!" I whispered as he leaped off me and I rolled off his desk and hid beneath it. He sat in his leather chair.

"Come in." He said in a surprisingly calm voice. I heard the door open.

"Um…" It was a female voice.

"What do you want?" He asked sternly. I looked beside me and stared at his crotch. I gapped and covered my mouth with my hand. It wasn't the new wet stain on his pants or even the amount of it that shocked me and left me speechless. It was the size of him. He was still hard and much bigger than I thought. Good god there's no way that thing could be a penis. It had to be some sort of lethal weapon. I looked away before I could hyperventilate. No wonder Kagura stopped having sex with him. It must hurt!

"Yes, security came to me not too long ago and gave me this tape. I think you might want to take a look at it when you have the time." The female voice said. I heard the sound of something being place on his desk just above my head.

"Very well then. You may leave." He told her, and I waited until I heard the door shut to crawl back out from under his desk. Before I could get to my feet, he held my chin between his fingers again. "What's your answer now? Are you still a lesbian?" The smirk on his face was irresistible.

"I dunno. I still like pussy…" I trailed off.

"You're dodg-" I put a finger to his lips before he could say anything more.

"Fuck you, Sesshomaru!" I went to his washroom and fixed myself quickly before leaving his office. "I'm done being honest for the day." I said as I closed his office door behind me.
