Since I have written a couple of intensely emotional chapters, I thought it was time for a change of pace and write some lemons and light-hearted moments for you all. The second part of the chapter is extremely lemony... Just warning you!
Pleasure
Phoebe's POV:
I rush into Grey House, drop my bag in my office and then swiftly enter my brother's office for our monthly review meeting. Damn it, I hate being late. We all slept in this morning, and had to rush out the door. I am desperate for a coffee.
"Sorry I am late" I call out without looking around, to find only my brother is in his office. "Is it just you and I today?"
"Only for the time being, Eli left early this morning with a couple of our VP's for New York, and Dad I believe is on his way. He emailed me last night, to tell me that he wouldn't be able to arrive until ten. I am not sure why" Ted has made several changes at Grey Enterprise, but our monthly meetings have remained almost ritualistic. Instead of Dad, Ros, Ted and I at these meetings, it is now attended by me, Ted, Eli and for the most part, our father. Dad tries to make this monthly meeting to keep abreast of the day to day happenings of the company and to be honest Ted, and I still appreciate his advice and feedback.
"Excuse me, Mr Grey and Ms Harris can I get either of you a coffee?" Ted assistant, Bernice asks.
"Yes, please! Bernice can I have an extremely strong coffee. I am exhausted" I plead. Ted is smirking at me and desperately trying to stifling his laugh at my tone.
"I will make it a double shot. How does that sound?"
"Like my brother should double your salary," I say grinning. Bernice laughs, and then looks at Ted,
"Mr Grey, can I get you a coffee or anything?"
"Nothing thanks Bernice. Unlike my sister, I have a little more stamina." Ted says raising his eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes, and then concentrate on my laptop and on our current acquisitions and mergers. I love the rush I get when we succeed with a business venture.
"Have you had a look at the proposed acquisition of the failing telecommunications company in Toronto? I am going to proceed to push through with the purchase, even if it does become a little hostile. However looking at these figures it shouldn't be too hard. Any objections, Mr CEO?" I tease him a little.
"No, go ahead. You know what you are doing" There is a strong undertone of disinterest in Ted's voice that I chose to ignore. I have heard it before, and I know where it often leads to.
"Too easy, what else is on the agenda? I inquire.
"There is one crucial item on the agenda that we need to address, but I need the use of a laptop. Can I borrow yours? Mine is charging on my desk." Ted requests seriously and I instantly offer him my prized tool.
Bernice then returns back with my coffee. I am so grateful when I take my first sip. It is hot, strong and has diverted my attention from my brother who moved towards his desk. Ted looks smug as he returns to his chair, empty handed and my laptop nowhere in sight.
"Where is my laptop?" I question. I keep everything on it, from work to even copies of family photos.
"You care about a small piece of technology?" Ted says teasing me.
"Yes I do. I haven't synchronized it to the GEH server this morning, and I did some work on the acquisition of that IT Company."
"Really, because from what I heard, you were pretty busy on the weekend, doing someone, as opposed to doing work" Ted grins, cocking his head to the side playfully.
"What?" I swallow. How does everyone know what I have, or at least supposedly have done?
"Come on Fifi, it's just you and me. Let's talk!" The look on Ted's face tells me that any discussion about the world of mergers and acquisitions is currently on hold.
"I actually owe you a massive thank you" Ted comments.
"What for?"
"You see little sister, Lily, and I never know what to buy you for your birthday, but now we know what to give you next month when you turn thirty-six. A robe that isn't pale pink" Ted commences to laugh.
"You heard?" I grimace.
"Sure did! Serious Fifi, if you are going to embarrass yourself and Craig like that, then please invite me and Lily over. No, don't do that. I wouldn't be able to see the horror on your face then. I will just collaborate with our parents." Ted taunts. All the blood runs from my head just thinking about yesterday morning.
"It was so embarrassing! I wanted to die. There were our parents and my boyfriend in my pink robe." I assess, flopping down on the couch and covering my eyes with my arm. "If that was not distressing enough, dad then requested Craig to sit next to him for breakfast. The poor guy didn't even get a chance to get changed. Craig didn't even have a pair of boxer shorts on. He kept shifting to make sure everything was covered." Ted commences to laugh, and in retrospect so do I. The robe is rather long, and there was little to no chance of Craig exposing himself, but at the time, it was a concern.
"Worse things have happened. I sort of caught our parents in the act, which caused our father of course to want to sit down and talk. Being twenty-two and having dad, want to discuss aspects of sexuality now that is bad!" Ted scrunches his face up, obviously recalling a memory.
"What aspects of sexuality?" I probe.
"Oh Fifi, trust me you don't want to know. Either way it seems as if you are well versed enough in that subject."
"I guess" I shrug and look down. Shit! I know where this is going to go.
"What do you mean? You are no virgin little sister." Ted says with an almost big headed tone to his voice.
"Thank you Captain Obvious" I reply.
"So what is it then?" Ted says light hearted.
"Craig and I haven't had sex yet" I admit.
"What the fuck? Why not? What's wrong with Craig? Does he have problems saluting?" Ted teases, but strangely seems concerned also.
"No." I am desperately trying not to fall on the floor from laughter at my brothers expression "Craig doesn't have any issues there, it's just we haven't used it"
"Man did his ex-wife screw with him or something?" I grab the small cushion and throw it at Ted. I can't believe he even insinuated that.
"NO! Don't be silly Ted. Craig barely even mentions his ex-wife."
"Okay I don't get it. Craig has spent the night at your place hasn't he?" I sigh and sit up, ready for my brother's constant questions.
"Yes and you have nine more questions left." I tell him, deciding to make a game of his attempt to get information out of me.
"Huh?"
"When I was a child, you and Lily would babysit me, and we would play the game twenty questions. Since you obviously are trying to work out why Craig and I haven't had sex yet, then let's make a game of it, but a little more challenging. We are older, and you know too much of what happens in my life. Therefore, I have cut your question allocation by half. So let's see what you come up with as to why Craig and I haven't had sex yet. You have nine questions left. Go!" I challenge him.
"Okay... umm... I hope my questions doesn't sound wrong, and I promise you, I don't mean for it to" Ted then runs his hand stressed through his hair. I laugh out loud, as does Ted, when he realizes what he has done.
"Ask what you want. I know you mean well" I tell my brother.
"Has Craig been sleeping the whole night in bed with you?"
"Yes"
"And you both feel comfortable being in bed together?" Ted continues to probe.
"Very much so," I say nodding. This is one thing I am one hundred percent sure of.
"Does Craig still love his ex-wife?"
"No, but that is a question you ought to ask Craig, not me. From what I know and understand that is all done and dusted!" I reason.
"He better not be interested in her still, especially if he is with you!" Ted brotherly instinct kick in and it is actually kind of sweet. I know that Craig doesn't have any interest in his ex-wife anymore. He doesn't even communicate with her.
"You have six questions left." I remind him.
"Okay... Are you and Craig into each other?"
"Yes, maybe even more"
"How much?" Ted looks like at me as if he is calculating a set of probabilities.
"Very much. Four questions left"
"No, I have five, those last two questions only count as one as they were in the same context" Ted argues.
"No, it doesn't. You asked those last two questions separately. Don't try and cheat, Teddy"
"Whatever Fifi." Ted might be eighteen years older than me, but he is still a lousy loser. "Have you had sex since Josh died?" Ted inquires
"No. I haven't been with anyone else, not since Josh died." Ted nods solemnly when I mention my deceased husband. He misses his best friend more than he will ever admit.
"And you were only with Josh before weren't you. Josh was you first and last sexual partner, right?"
"Yep. Two more questions"
"Are you scared about making your relationship with Craig sexual? Then have it fail?
"Maybe. That was two questions, but I will throw you a bone and count it as one. Last question, make it count Teddy."
"Do you want a sexual relationship with Craig?"
"Yes" I don't need to think about my answer to this question. I already know the answer. I have known for over a month now."
"You know that game was so much easier when you had to question me, and work out what the object was." Ted evaluates and then pinches his chin as he takes my answers to his questions in.
"Give me a second." Ted then pulls out his cell phone and starts to type away swiftly. "I should get a reply quickly. Don't ask any questions until then"
"Teddy, you haven't told me who told you about pink robe-gate?" I inquire
"Carrie told Macie, and then she told Ruby, who in turn told Lily and me." Ted updates me.
"What? You mean Eli and Ava's children, Emma and Cameron, are none the wiser?" I say sarcastically I and roll my eyes at the thought of how quickly information spreads through the next generation of the Grey children.
"I am sure the Ruby would have texted Eli, and let's face it, Macie, Carrie and Emma are thick as thieves. They probably did a three way phone call to discuss the event" My brother comments so seriously that I am almost sucked in. "I am joking Fifi. I don't know if Eli,Emma or Cameron knows."
Ted's phone beeps, and when he checks it a large smile forms on his face. "I have a solution to your sexual dilemma..."
"It's not a dilemma" I clarify.
"You have not had sex for three years, but you are sleeping naked with your current boyfriend. I call that a dilemma" Ted concludes. "Actually before I tell you of my brilliant plan that will be mutually beneficial, I don't understand why you both haven't just given into each other?"
"Do you think every brother and sister talks as openly as you and I do?" I ask, trying to get around my brothers inappropriate question.
"They should! If we can't be open and honest with each other, then we can't help each other." Ted says seriously for the first time I this morning. "Answer my question. You don't have gone into specifics."
"Craig and I have just fooled around" I openly inform Ted
"Like teenagers?" Ted says smirking.
"Well I sincerely hope our soon to be teenage daughters are not going to be doing what Craig and I have been doing in say five years" I say horrified.
"So you have just been playing with each other, without getting the good stuff" Ted evaluates.
"Yes, I guess you are right. Crudely, but correct"
"Then I have the perfect plan, and Lily has whole heartedly agreed. Does Carrie have any appointments or anything significant on Friday or Monday?" Ted asks out of the blue.
"No just school and soccer training. Why?"
"Because as your CEO I am demanding you take an extended weekend off. As you brother, I am suggesting you go away, on an extended weekend, with Craig. Maybe go away, if you like and just go for it. Carrie can stay with Lily, Macie and I and will have a marvelous time. Eli will be back later and together we can keep an eye on your projects. Then in about a month, I will take an extended weekend away with Lily, and Macie can stay with you and Carrie, maybe even Craig as he seems to enjoy spending weekends at your place."
"That is very hospitable, and a little pimp-ish of you, but Craig may not even be able to get the time off."
"Fifi we own the company he works for. He will get the time off".
"Alright, but could Carrie go straight to your place after school on Thursday? She can pack on Wednesday, and I will have her stuff taken over to your place. If it isn't too much trouble that is"
"Of course not, we love having Carrie. She and Macie go to the same school, so it's no trouble. What do you have in mind?" I give Ted a wicked smile and shake my head. These are details I am not ready to share with my older brother.
The door of my brother's office opens, and in walks our father. "Good Morning, have you both started the monthly review" From the second our father enters these meetings, it is as if time has stood still. He still has that aura around him, and you know he is in charge, retired CEO or not.
"We haven't gotten terribly far." Ted tells him.
"You can't be serious?" Our dad looks at his watch and registers his concern. "Didn't you both start the meeting an hour ago? What has been the issue?"
"No issue. Ted has just been trying to helping me and making sure I am happy and satisfied." I inform my father.
"Good. It makes your mother and me extremely happy and proud knowing that you two support each other." Ted and I give each other a swift conspiratorially look
"Okay kids, let's talk business!"
# # # #
"Okay Carrie, I will see you Tuesday morning. I love you and have fun with your cousin. Also be good, as usual, for your Aunt and Uncle. I love you to the moon and back" I end my call with my daughter. This is the first weekend I will be away from Carrie, for recreational purposes since her father passed, away three years ago. I have had to go away for work, but even then it was never over the weekend. I am trying to push away my feelings of motherly-guilt by the fact that Macie is looking forward to spending time with her cousin. I'm becoming more aware of the fact that occasionally Carrie would have liked to have a sibling. Ted and Lily's youngest child, Macie is fourteen years younger than her siblings, Eli and Ruby, so together they fill this gap for each other.
Just before five in the evening on Thursday, I enter Craig's apartment with assistance from my current CPO, Leighton. He has managed to open the door without causing any damage to the frame or the locks. Technically we are breaking in, but I suspect this will be one crime that I will be forgiven for. I casually phoned Craig an hour ago, and he told me that he was leaving work at five and coming home. He then offered to take Carrie and me out for dinner, but I told him that Carrie had a heap of homework and that I had a few work matters to deal with tonight so we would see him tomorrow.
I get quick to work knowing I only have about twenty minutes. I scatter a few items in the fridge, should we get hungry, so not to rouse suspicion if Craig opens it before he sees me. My next task is to raid his wardrobe. 'Perfect' I tell myself when I locate an item of clothing that I want. I remove my clothes and get to work. I had only just finished getting ready, when Leighton texted me to know that Craig was on his way up.
I sit cross legged on the single seater couch in Craig's bedroom; all I need to do is wait. I hear the door open and then his footsteps on the wooden floor. Goosebumps cover my body in anticipation of him walking into his room. I know I won't have to wait terribly long as Craig always change his clothes when he gets home from work.
The door to Craig's bedroom creaks open, and I watch excitedly as he rips his tie off. Then he notices me sitting there to the side. I smile as I practically see all the air exit his lungs.
"Phoe-be" Craig emphasis's the syllables in my name as he gets a close look at me from my too high shoes to my loose long curls. However it was what I am wearing in between that truly has his attention.
"Hi" I respond simply. The shock of seeing me dissipates quickly, and it is replaced solely by excitement.
"Interesting outfit you're wearing"
"I was hoping that you would like it"
"It is now favorite shirt. " Craig's walks towards me, and he runs his finger over his lips. "I want to see what else you are and not wearing"
"Be my guest" I invite.
"I think I will start from the bottom and work my way up". He gets down on his knees and then looks up at me grinning.
"I like your shoes." Craig evaluates as he examines the heel of my too high, but rather sexy Louboutin shoes. His hands glide up my silk stockings, and he delicately runs his finger along the laced top. Craig is stalling, and taking his time. Everything up from here is covered with his white work shirt.
"Don't come to a standstill, I want you to touch me" I tell him.
"Me too, but you should know that once I start I may never stop" Craig deliciously warns.
"Then start" I look into Craig eyes, and it is as if I can see right into his whole soul as desire, longing and passion, resonate from him.
"Stand Up" Craig requests, and helps me to my feet after he has stood up also. He continues to stare into my eyes as his hands explore and travel under the white shirt. I feel one of Craig's hands caress my backside, whilst the other hand is running along the front of my panties. I gasp as he pushes them to the side and inserts one of his fingers into me. I almost cry out when he removes his finger, leaving me longing for him.
I am covered in goose bumps again as Craig's hands make their way up until they reach my breasts. He runs his fingers lightly over the shape of my bra and then plays with my nipples, making them erect. Every muscle and nerve endings in my body react, and I am desperate for him.
"I love how you are not naked under my shirt" Craig practically purrs, nibbling on my ear. "This way I get to take them off you. I want to kiss every part of your body" Craig's voice is seductive but too smooth for how I am feeling.
"Craig, I know you are trying to be gentle and loving, but..." I swallow hard and feel a little shy. How do I tell him this?
"Tell me what you are thinking Phoebe. I can't read you as easily as you read me."I am taken back a little by Craig's admission, but gives me the confidence to be bolder.
"We have been playing around and have done the gentle thing. I love how much you care and are tender, but that is not what I want right now. Not at all."
"What do you want?" Craig has caught on to my wishes; however, he is going to make me verbalize my desires.
"You. I want you, and I want you to take me hard!" A devious grin forms on Craig face and I know he doesn't need to be asked twice.
I commence to push Craig, so we are both besides his bed. "Kiss me!" I desperately request. Craig responds by thrusting his tongue into my waiting mouth, while he unbuttons my borrowed shirt, slipping it off my shoulders.
"You look beautiful" Craig comments as he gets his first proper look at me in my matching bra, panties, and stocking.
Craig commences to kiss me passionately as his hands grab my breasts, squeezing them hard then playing with my nipples. My body cries out with pleasure. This is exactly what I need. Wasting no time and eager to ensure we don't get off track, I seek to unbutton his shirt, but it my eagerness I end up ripping most of the buttons off.
"Ooppss... sorry" We both laugh softly as we hear the sound of the buttons scatter on the hard wooden floor.
"I'm not. I am still dressed." Craig's voice is sensual and makes every muscle in my body deliciously react. Getting back to my task, I pull his shirt off his shoulders and run my fingers through the hair on his shapely chest, before quickly moving down to remove his belt. Nerves start to take over a little as I struggle a little to undo the belt buckle, but my anxiety quickly disappears as my fingers brush past his excitement. Craig is hard and growing. It gives me an idea.
"Kick off your shoes" I order. After he has fulfilled my simple request, I make quick work of his pants and allow them to fall around his ankles. Craig's excitement is obvious, and I don't hesitate to drop to me knees and take him into my mouth. He grabs the back of my head and guides me back and forth. His length jumps and twitches in response to my rhythmic tongue actions, encouraging me to continue, harder and take him in deeper.
"Stop Phoebe!" Craig demands loudly, making me jump. I look up at him a little bewildered. "I want to find my release in you, not in your mouth"
Craig places his strong hands on my shoulders, helping me to me feet. I am only partially aware that he has stepped out of his pants as he examines my now soaked panties, and removes my bra. Hungrily he commences to suck and play with my breasts, and practically throws me on the bed.
"Are you in any way particularly attached to these?" Craig runs his long fingers along the rim of my panties.
"No," my voice is only just a whisper now. Craig rips my soaked panties and drives two fingers into me. He vigorously begin to plunge his fingers in and out of me, curling his fingertips to find that sweet spot along the way. Every muscle clenches inside of me, and I am practically ripped into two as pleasure takes over my body.
"I want you in me" I beg as I come down from my first climax. Craig rolls between me and with his legs pushes mine apart. Wasting no time he fills me.
"Do you still want it hard?" Craig asks to make sure it is what I want. I look into his eyes and can tell just how much he cares, but also how much he needs this also.
"Yes. Now" I confirm.
Craig grabs me legs and lifts them, so they rest on his shoulders, to fill me, Deep, Hard and Fast. He develops a delicious rhythm that only makes me even hungrier for him. The momentum was unstoppable as he drove himself deeply into me with each movement. I can feel how ready we both are, and my hips jump in pace to his movements into me. We bother find our release together, but I want to prolong the pleasure for us both and continues to power my hips along the length of his length. Craig collapses into my arms as we both came down from our climaxes.
"I hope that satisfied your thirst" Craig states. I can't wipe the smile off my face, and start to laugh out of relief and bliss.
"Oh yes! That more than satisfied it." I smile at Craig before we both kiss in mutual gratification.
"Good thing I packed several pairs of panties"
"Packed?" Craig asks curiously, not realizing the plan and arrangements I have made.
"Yes" I inform Craig of the plan for us to spend the next four days alone and how Carrie was staying with Ted. At first I was worried that he would be upset that we had arranged for him to have Friday and Monday off, but thankfully it didn't seem to faze him.
"Since we now have four days, alone, what do you want to do and where do you want to go?" Craig asks, kissing me from my ear to my neck.
"To be honest, I had thought about us getting on the first flight out of Seattle, but after that performance, I want to stay right here and repeat what we just did." I admit.
"Done" Craig informs me as he places kisses down my chest, stomach, and then stops between my legs. His tongue is ruthless and again I give myself up to him.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. :-)
