Chapter 15 – After the Fireworks

Just then Sarah saw fireworks shooting out from a pontoon that was moored in the water, she hugged into Chuck even further and the smile on her face got larger. She was smiling so much her face was hurting but she didn't care.

"That is why Sarah" said Chuck.

"I love you Chuck" said Sarah.

"I love you too Sarah" said Chuck.

Then he kissed her, the kiss was a kiss to end all kisses before. She welcomed his tongue and she melded her body into his, every part of her wanting every part of him, it started as warmth in the middle of her body and spread to be tingling every nerve ending all over her body. She didn't want to stop even though she could feel herself getting light headed from lack of oxygen. She didn't want it to end, she had never felt this before, she would swear she could almost climax from the kiss alone and she never wanted it to end.

Eventually Chuck pulled away and rested his forehead on hers.

"Wow" was all Sarah could say in between the heavy breaths.

"That little sexual frustration problem is not so little anymore and if you keep kissing me like that it will explode" said Sarah.

Her face was red and Chuck could see pure lust in her eyes.

"Our previous kisses have been hot but that was like… wow" said Sarah.

"mmmm, I guess you bring out the worst in me" Chuck said with a smile.

They kissed again, this time more passionate, slow but with all the feelings over her body. She had reached the point of no return but didn't care. She took her hand and started rubbing Chuck's arousal as her tongue explored his mouth, all while fireworks continued to go off in both their bodies and in the sky.

They quickly broke the kiss so they could take a breath, then went straight back in, Sarah pulled up her dress and threw one of her legs over Chuck's lap as she straddled him and started grinding into him as Chucks tongue explored her mouth. Sarah's hands went in his hair grabbing hold and pulling his head closer to hers and making sure he couldn't get away.

Sarah continued her grinding on top of Chuck. He could tell that she was not going to stop; Chuck was glad that the coachman had earphones and listening to music, because the primal noises being heard from the back of the carriage had to be heard to be believed.

It was the first time that Sarah had ever climaxed fully clothed, but my god was it good. Sarah wanted to release Chuck's arousal so she could finish the job, but Chuck said no not here. Sure it had been a long time since Sarah had been with a man, but my god she didn't think it could be this good.

She then started thinking my god he hasn't even began touching me yet, she realised that she wasn't sure she could survive a night of passion with Chuck, if this was anything to go by, but at least she would die happy. 'Fuck happy, I will be delirious' thought Sarah.

Chuck new that he was no longer thinking clearly he was only responding to his body, instinct and his heart. He knew that this was likely to complicate things, but he didn't care, he was tired of being responsible, tonight was going to be about him and Sarah. Complications can wait till tomorrow.

They continued to ravish each other as the fireworks finally ended and the carriage took them back along to the exit of the park.

"Um Sarah, I had a couple of other things planned for this evening, but am thinking maybe we should just head home?" said Chuck smiling

Sarah just looked into his eyes with such primal want and need and could only form the words "Yes, Home".

Chuck just smiled and went back in for another kiss as the carriage approached the parked limousine.

They untangled themselves and got out of the carriage, straightening there clothes and re fastening any buttons that found their way open. They finally made it to the car and Chuck helped Sarah in the car.

"Home please" said Chuck.

"So we are not going to the beach?" asked the Driver.

"No its time to head home" replied Chuck.

Chuck and Sarah continued their assault and exploration of each others bodies; Sarah had reached another peak before they arrived at the residence.

They both went straight to Chucks room and he pulled out a couple of bottles of water out of the bar fridge and gave one to Sarah. She just looked at him inquisitively

"Well you need to keep your fluid levels up, for what I have in store for you tonight" said Chuck.

Sarah just let out a moan and laid down on the bed, Chuck picked her back up with one arm with her arms wrapped around his neck, with his other arm Chuck pulled down the sheets to the bed. Chuck placed her back down on the bed and started undressing her. As he maneuvered the dress up her body, he kissed each inch as it exposed more of her skin. The tingling of every nerve ending in her body was almost sending her over the edge again.

"Chuck, you will have to take it slowly, remember it has been over five years and even then it wasn't with someone as endowed as you, well at least based on what I have been feeling through your pants." said Sarah softly but lustfully.

"Sarah, I will take things as slow as you need. I am no rush, tonight is all about me worshiping every little part of you" Chuck said as he buried his head between her thighs.

A/N I have gone about as far as I can with this here, but I plan to release a companion M rated story. This story will go into this experience much more.. 'deeply'.

Chuck was kissing Sarah while he was cupping her breast.

"Baby, I'm sorry but I think I need a break. It isn't just because of the sheer number of times, but the length and intensity has blown me away" said Sarah.

"I'm sorry, I should have let you have a rest before" said Chuck.

"No, No baby. I have the biggest smile on my face that I don't think could ever be removed. You definitely have nothing to be sorry about" said Sarah.

"How about a shower, just let me wash you" said Chuck.

"Ok, but no funny business" said Sarah.

"I promise you that it will be all very serious" Chuck said with a smile.

Sarah got up to use the bathroom.

"Chuck how about a bath, I think I might be more comfortable if I don't have to stand baby" said Sarah.

"Ok "said Chuck.

Chuck ran the bath and put some bath oils in the water. When the bath was ready he went over to Sarah on the bed and carried her to the bath.

"Baby its ok, I can walk, its just.." said Sarah but Chuck interrupted.

"Sshhh, let me do this" said Chuck.

He placed her in the bath and he hopped in the bath behind her, it was a huge bath easily big enough for both of them to either sit in or lie in, which was rather a feat, considering Chuck's height.

Chuck carefully washed Sarah with a wash cloth and soap, making sure to be very careful with any sensitive areas. Even though Sarah had said she was too sore for any more, she was unashamedly moaning as Chuck washed certain parts of her body. After Chuck had made sure that every inch of her body was lathered and washed, Chuck just leaned back in the bath and pulled Sarah back onto his chest and held her closely.

After a couple of minutes Sarah finally spoke.

"Chuck, while this is wonderful, I am worried what we will do when the water gets cold?" asked Sarah.

"Ah good point, I will turn the water heater on. It will not get cold now" said Chuck winking.

"Chuck, it feels like you have given me five years worth in one night. I am not sure how you were able to do it" said Sarah.

Chuck held Sarah tight.

"Sarah, last night was not part of the plan. I am committed in being with you, but there are a few things I need to sort out before we can become official. I mean we can be a couple but I'm not ready yet to let you completely into my life, I know it will happen but you just need to be patient with me for a little bit longer. Can you do that?" said Chuck

"Chuck, as I said before I will give you as long as you need. What we have together right now is more then I could have hoped for, after our first meeting on the shooting range" said Sarah.

"Sarah, I am sorry I was so cold then. I knew if I didn't have all the walls up I would just become putty in your hands. I needed to understand what you wanted and what your intentions were, before I could start to open up. I know you have not had the best of times these last 3 years, or even the two before that, but can you let me help, let me try and help you heal?" said Chuck.

"Yes Chuck, I would love you to help me, but only if you let me help you" said Sarah.

With that they went off to sleep in each other arms while still in the bath.

.

.

.

They woke up a couple of hours later, Chuck still had his arms around her and Sarah was still leaning back on Chuck. It was Sarah that stirred first then woke up Chuck.

"Chuck I think we need to get out of the bath and maybe start getting ready for New York." said Sarah.

"Yeah your right, I would like to be airborne by 8AM" said Chuck.

"Um Chuck will I be flying today?" asked Sarah.

"Ah, no I have my pilot for today. Vegas was, well because I didn't want too many people knowing what was happening, for obvious reasons" said Chuck.

They finished packing the bags for New York and quickly had breakfast that Denise whipped up for them, and then drove the Mustang to the airport.

On the way to the airport Sarah couldn't get rid of the smile on her face.

"Sarah you ok?" asked Chuck.

"Off course I am Chuck, never better" she said with a huge grin.

"You just have that goofy grin on your face" said Chuck.

"Chuck, you are the reason for that goofy grin, and I think you know it" said Sarah.

"Well as long as you are thinking about happy thoughts, I guess" said Chuck.

"Oh I am, many happy thoughts and all of them last night one after the other after the …." said Sarah but Chuck interrupted.

"Ok, I get it but it was not a big deal" said Chuck.

"Chuck, last night was phenomenal, if you have anything planned that is going to top that, then I think I better go get a check up, to make sure you won't kill me or cause me to go into a constant vegetative state of pure bliss" said Sarah.

"Sarah, remember what I said, I still need to sort out some things and if we continue with an intimate relationship I am concerned that I will just be using you" said Chuck.

"Chuck, if that was what you were doing last night, you get no complaints from me, hell no. If what will keep it going is giving you permission to use me, well go right ahead" said Sarah.

"It just doesn't feel right doing that if I am not completely open to you about everything" said Chuck.

"Chuck nothing could feel more right then what we did last night, now baby stop it" said Sarah.

Chuck new that it would be difficult to resist a repeat performance of last night, because it was unbelievable, the way he felt last night he didn't think was even possible. The noises that Sarah made he didn't think could come out of such a beautiful creature, but they just made him even more determined to keep them going.

They got to the hangar and Chuck parked the Mustang inside, the bags were taken and put on the plane and Sarah and Chuck boarded. They both sat facing each other, with a two person protection detail at the back of the cabin including Bob, giving them space.

The plane took off and they started their journey to New York.

"Chuck, so what is the speech you are doing this evening all about?" asked Sarah.

"Overcoming fear and how to succeed in the new emerging markets" said Chuck.

Chuck was working on his laptop and Sarah thought that maybe they could join the mile high club. But he was a very busy man, and just because he is flying from LA to New York does not mean that work stops. Several hours went by and Sarah was starting to get hungry, she was going to ask Bob whether the Jet was normally catered when Chuck spoke up.

"Well everyone, I am not sure about you, but I am getting a little hungry. So how about we get them to serve some meals." asked Chuck

"Sounds like a plan to me" said Sarah.

One of the crew came out and served lunch and refreshments.

"Sarah, it looked like you and Yvonne were getting along the other night?" said Chuck.

"Yeah she is adorable, and I really like the name" said Sarah.

"I think Yvonne is a wonderful name" said Chuck

"Yeah I once had an alias for an assignment that used Yvonne, it was in Australia" said Sarah

"Yeah, I can see you as an Yvonne" said Chuck

"Sarah, there is something I need to tell you about the talk tonight" said Chuck.

"Yes?" replied Sarah.

"Well there is going to be some things said that you may not know, but I just wanted to check that you weren't going to be too surprised" said Chuck.

"Um, ok go on" said Sarah.

"Well you mentioned you had spoken to Awesome, well did he tell you about the shark attack?" asked Chuck.

"Yes he did" said Sarah with a serious expression.

"Also I guess you know from him and other sources, about the adrenaline high that I crave" said Chuck nervously.

"Um yes he mentioned that as well" replied Sarah

"Well I guess that's the worst of it, I will also bring up some situations from our past specifically on missions. I have made it sounds like extreme sport activity, rather then what it was." said Chuck.

"Um ok, not sure what that means, but you know you can't bring up details of missions or even that you were, well a spy?" said Sarah.

"Yeah I think I have got the hang of keeping secrets" said Chuck with a smile.

Sarah gave him a small smile back.

After they finished the meals, Chuck looked at Sarah.

"Um, yes Chuck?" asked Sarah.

"Just can't believe how beautiful you are" said Chuck.

"Um chuck, is there any private areas of the plane?" asked Sarah.

"Why?" asked Chuck.

"Well, um I am not sure if you are already a member, but I would very much like to join the Mile High Club with you" said Sarah with a very sexy pout with pure lust in her eyes.

"Well, when you put it like that, how could I refuse, and no I am not already member. There is no one in the world that I would prefer to join that club with then you" said Chuck.

"So um, are we just going to do it here or is there somewhere more private" asked Sarah

"Well the bench seat in the back converts into a bed, and if I get the guys to sit up here we can pull the curtain for privacy. We just need to make sure they have used the bathroom first" said Chuck.

"What are we waiting for" said Sarah with a big grin.

"Bob and Ben, you guys sit up the front we are taking the back. If you guys need to use the facilities I suggest you do it now" said Chuck.

Chuck took off into the cockpit, the pilot came out shortly after to use the facilities. When the pilot came back, Chuck came out carrying two bottles of water, took Sarah's hand and directed her to the back of the plane and pulled the curtain across.

It only took Chuck a minute to convert the bench seat into a bed, and they were quickly lost in each others embrace.

Meanwhile up in the front of the cabin, the two man security detail where in conversation.

"It's good to see Charles happy" said Ben

"Yeah, I think most of us knew that if she ever came back this would happen" replied Bob.

"But what I think is great is that she really appears to care for him" said Ben.

"Ben, she is madly in love with him and whether he was worth one dollar or fifty Billion it would be the same" said Bob.

That is when they started hearing the noises from the back of the plane.

"Oh god Chuck, oh my god, ah god…. I love you so much Chuck" then a load guttural moan that went on for what seemed like an hour but would have only been a minute.

"That sure sounds like one happy girl" said Ben.

"I would have never picked her for a screamer" said Bob

"I don't think screaming effectively describes what that is" said Ben.

Bob pulled some ear plugs out of his pocket, and handed a pair to Ben.

"No it's ok, I think the worst is over" said Ben.

Just then it became clear the noises they heard before, were only the first round warm up and now Sarah had really found her voice. The both put in the ear plugs and attempted to forget about what was going on only a couple of meters behind them, this was a task that was simply impossible.

They were told that they were approaching New York and to prepare for landing, the lovers removed themselves from each others embrace and quickly got dressed. Chuck quickly removed the sheets off the bed and put it back into the bench seat format.

Both Sarah and Chuck sat back into their seats still looking into each others eyes looking thoroughly satisfied and happy.

After landing Chuck and Sarah got up from the seats and were the first to disembark.

"Bob, I think Sarah and I will go straight to the Apartment for a shower and then to get ready for this evenings event" said Chuck.

"Understood Charles, Ben and I will bring your luggage straight to the apartment" said Bob.

The car took them straight to the apartment, and Chuck took her inside. The apartment had five bedrooms and five bathrooms and was spread over two floors with a beautiful exposed staircase between the two. The living area extended up to the top of the two floors. This allowed you to look from the entry foyer up to the railing on the top floor, with the doors to the rooms hidden behind.

"Sarah you go straight up to the shower and I will be along soon, upstairs last door on the right" said Chuck.

The main bedroom had a king size four poster bed, a two seater love-seat, a dressing table and a walk in robe that included drawers as well as plenty of hanging space.

Sarah realised that she didn't have any of her clothes or toiletries with her.

"Chuck when will our bags arrive, I don't have anything to put on or even to start getting ready?" Sarah called.

"Just hop in the shower I will be there shortly. Bags should be here in ten minutes or so" replied Chuck.

Sarah found some body soap, turned on the shower, stripped off and hopped in under the spray. She was just relaxing when she felt hands on her shoulders gently massaging. She turned around to face Chuck.

"Chuck, after last night and then on the plane, I don't think there is an once of tension left in my body" said Sarah.

"Well that's good, but I find it hard to keep my hands of you lover" said Chuck.

They washed each other and by the time they had finished, the bags had been put in the room and they were able to finish getting ready.

"Chuck, will there be dancing tonight?" asked Sarah.

"I am not sure Sarah, I am not really sure what is happening tonight, other then me the speech and then dinner" said Chuck.

Chuck had a forward detail that flew up the night before commercial, they checked things out, they were joined by Bob and Ben when Chuck and Sarah finally arrived.

Chuck met with the host Jeffrey Bernstein for the evening, and was given the schedule of events for the evening, Chuck noticed one of the items that was listed after his speech.

"Jeffrey, what is the auction listed after my speech?" asked Chuck.

"Oh didn't your assistant tell you, you are being auctioned off, for a date for charity. Your assistant said you would be fine with it" said Jeffrey.

"That's ok Jeffrey, I was unaware. So who are eligible to bid?" asked Chuck.

Chuck was quickly thinking, could he get Sarah to bid for him so there were no complications.

"Anyone that represents a financial member" responded Jeffrey.

'Well there goes that option; I knew I should have joined. It might not be too bad; it will likely be an older woman that will win'.

Chuck came back into the main auditorium and found Sarah sitting at a table; he came over and took the seat next to her.

"Um I have some news, and I am not sure how you will react" said Chuck.

Sarah quickly turned into agent mode, Sarah quickly scanning around the room; Chuck hadn't seen that reaction from her since she has been back.

"What is it?" Sarah commanded.

"Well, after my speech they are going to have an auction" said Chuck.

"Oh, ok what are they auctioning?" asked Sarah, visibly more relaxed.

"Me, for an evening" he replied with a nervous smile.

"That's ok, I will just win you" said Sarah proudly.

"I wish it were that simple, you have to represent a member to bid and I am not a member" said Chuck.

"Shit, well ok, how bad can it be. It will probably be some rich old lady that no longer has her own teeth. Maybe you will get lucky" said Sarah suggestively and raising her eyebrows.

Chuck knew that this was not going to end well. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed two well dressed females approach their table and sit down.

Chuck heard the voice.

"Well Charles Bartowski, you have been avoiding me for too long. After tonight you will be mine".

He looked up and sure enough the voice belonged to Star Marriott, Star Marriott was a well known Celebrity Heiress and while not currently living in New York has strong ties to the area.

Sarah was staring daggers at Star, but it appeared it did not affect her. She only looked at Sarah then said, "What's your problem, oh is it that time of month. Don't worry I can show Charles here a good time, a time he will not easily forget." than winked at Chuck.

Sarah was turning red, she was getting so angry, 'how dare she talk about my Chuck like that'

Chuck took her hand under the table.

"Sarah, please she is just trying to get under your skin. That is what she does, I love you and you are the only women for me. Besides the evening will not be until after we are back from Heli-Skiing" said Chuck.

Sarah calmed down a little, "Ok, but if that bitch lays one hand on you I will break it" said Sarah.

"Sarah, it is really cute to see you so jealous, but if you break her hand I think that will cause us some problems when it appears on the front page tomorrow" said Chuck.

"This public crap is no fun" said Sarah.

"Look, she may not even win Sarah" said Chuck.

Obviously Star heard what Chuck had said.

"Oh I will win alright, and if I ever let him go, it will be because I have worn him out" said Star.

"Hah, even if you do win, you will not get your hands on him. You wouldn't know what to do with him, he is too much man for you and you wouldn't even last the one night" replied Sarah.

Star's face visibly paled as she looked at Chuck, Chuck's face went a bright shade of red and Sarah felt good.

Star didn't respond and started having a conversation with her sister and Chuck looked at Sarah and Sarah could see that Chuck was embarrassed.

"Baby, you have nothing to be embarrassed about, not after all of last night and all afternoon in your plane" said Sarah.

Star visibly shrunk further in her seat.

It was time for Chuck's speech. Chuck got up and walked to the side of the stage.

A man that Sarah assumed was the host made his way to the podium.

"Hello everyone, I am Jeffrey Bernstein and I will be your host for tonight's proceedings" said the Host

The host then raises his hand towards Chuck

"I would like to welcome our key speaker for tonight; he is the CEO and owner of Aegis Systems, Charles Bartowski. He will discuss how to be successful in today's market. As I am sure that many of you know, he built from nothing to one of the most successful technology companies in the world within three years" said Jeffrey Bernstein.

"Good evening everyone, and thank you for inviting me to this meeting of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, I feel very honoured to be up here before you all" said Chuck.

Sarah's eyes were glued to Chuck taking in everything he was saying. He seemed to have such a commanding and confident presence.

"Tonight I am going to talk about a few things, then eventually narrow in on how to be successful in the new emerging markets" said Chuck.

"To start off, I am going to tell a little story, I guess I am going to use the story as a bit of a parable, but this parable is a true story" said Chuck.

"About 12 months ago, I was at a beach in Baja with some friends, myself and a lady friend and another couple" said Chuck.

Sarah saw Chuck look nervously in her direction.

"We guys decided it was time to go for a swim, while the girls decided it was a much better use of their time to just soak up some of the rays." said Chuck

"Well my friend and I were swimming with many other people, when I spotted a fin probably about 30 yards away. I screamed shark and everyone started making their way in from the water. Well my friend was about 10 yards away from me and the shark was on the other side of him and looked like it was coming in his direction" said Chuck.

"I knew that my friend was the closest person to the shark" said Chuck.

"In this situation lets look at fear, realistically you can do one of three things, you can swim to the sand like everyone else is doing, you can be paralysed be fear and not do anything or you can swim towards your friend and the shark" said Chuck.

"Let's look at the options; we can swim towards the shark, what is the worst that can happen?"

"My friend dies, and I die. What is the best? I can make it to my friend and by some miracle save my friend and we both survive" said Chuck.

"Or we can swim into the beach, what's the worst thing that can happen?" said Chuck.

"My friend will die, will I be able to live with myself, if he dies and I didn't help" said Chuck.

"Three I can be paralyzed by fear" said Chuck.

"Well the paralyzed by fear is like the worst place you can be, because your friend will likely be attacked and possibly killed and you could be next. So it's like the worst part of the swim to the shark with none of the positives. We will visit this inaction a little later." said Chuck

"Well what did I do?…. I swam towards the shark" said Chuck.

"So I swim to my friend and the shark, I get there and my friend is being attacked, I gave him a few good whacks and he let him go. I am not willing to take full responsibility here as I know if I was a shark and I bit into my friend, well let's just say he would taste awful" said Chuck.

"So here is my friend after the shark has swum back off, I swim ashore with him and he loses consciousness from the loss of blood. I eventually get him into the beach, he recovers and now has a normal life, yeah he got a lot of stitches and internal injuries, but they have healed and now he has a really cool scar and a great story to go with it" said Chuck.

"Now every day I am thankful for being able to overcome my fears and help my friend, and know if he was not around today because I had swum ashore, I could not live with myself" said Chuck.

Chuck looked at Sarah and gave a nod.

"There have also been many other occasions when I have been on activities with friends, I have been able to get myself into a position that is out of harms way, but my friends are still out there in harms way. Now I have the choice to wait and maybe watch my friends possibly die or I can go back into harms way and help them so we can all survive" said Chuck.

"Well as per the shark attack, the fear and human instinct for self preservation makes it difficult for us to put ourselves in harms way. But when faced with the very real prospect of having to live without those friends, knowing you could have done something, is a very powerful motivator" said Chuck.

"I guess I should also cover something else now. The Human Instinct for self preservation is very powerful indeed, and in most instances is what incites fear into all of us. However as some of you may know and from my previous explanations, I have been in situations where I combat that very basic instinct. However it is like a drug, the more you take it, the more you become desensitized to its affects so as time goes on the same activities that once elicited great fear are now no more then walking down the street" said Chuck.

"The age old adage about jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft and going skydiving is also all about combating the basic instinct of self preservation. The first time I jumped out of a plane I was scared to death and it was such a rush. But eventually it had little effect with pushing ourselves to the limit we constantly have to reset our own understanding of our limit" said Chuck.

"So what does this mean professionally, well we need to take risks to change our businesses as change comes over the market. We can choose to go in a certain direction just like to the shore or to my friend like in my shark example but if we are paralyzed by fear, we are in no mans land. If we do nothing to change with the market, we are simply the next meal for the shark" said Chuck.

"But as I explained we need to look at the positives and negatives in each direction and we need to make a decision that we are comfortable with, but we must move in a direction. Not changing your business to move with the changing markets, is the same as not swimming in either direction" said Chuck

"I wanted to mention motivation, we can get motivation from many sources. We can also use positive and negative factors as motivation."

Chuck looks directly at Sarah as says "Those people that believe in us, we can use that to show them that their confidence in us is not misplaced and we will repay that faith" said Chuck.

"People that believe we cannot, we want to prove them wrong, show them we are more then what they think of us" said Chuck.

"Now self belief and confidence in one self is an interesting concept. To believe we can achieve something is what we need to build on. Those people that have true belief in themselves and always have, well good luck to them. They are probably people that have never had to look defeat in the face, when you have been down and defeated, you know what that feels like and that itself can help motivate you.

To build your confidence and self belief, we need to start small. Know that we can do the smaller things, and then we can use that confidence to tackle the larger issues" said Chuck.

Throughout the whole speech Sarah kept looking at Star, and noticed she had this almost hypnotized look about her. This was really annoying Sarah, no way was she going to let her move in on her man, not after the last 24 hours. Just thinking about the last 24 hours made Sarah warm inside.

Chuck continued providing more specific guidance, on how the market moves more like an organism and that you can predict the direction it is moving and provided some simple tools to assist them how to do that.

"So to wrap up, to be successful in today's markets, we need to use whatever motivation we can and use and work on that self belief to change the direction of where our businesses are going. Because if we stay in no mans land we will just be the next meal for the next corporate shark that comes along. Thank you and I hope that you all enjoy the rest of your evening" said Chuck.

Chuck left the stage to a rousing applause.

"Well everyone can see how he commands such a presence and is able to motivate his workers to greatness" said Jeffrey.

This received murmurs of agreement from around the room.

"So we are going to serve the first course of the wonderful dinner provided by the MCC, after that we will have our auction" said Jeffrey.

Chuck came back to the table and sat back beside Sarah.

"So did I pass?" asked Chuck.

"You are amazing" said Sarah.

"Charles you are amazingly sexy, and I can't wait to get my hands on you" said Star wistfully.

They had their first course and Sarah couldn't help noticing that Star's eye's didn't leave Chuck the whole time and whenever Chuck opened his mouth for his fork, Star would lick her lips.

It was taking every ounce of self control Sarah had, to not leap at Star across the table. In fact if the table wasn't so wide she is sure she would have landed some well placed kicks under the table.

Jeffrey came back up to the podium.

"Well everyone its time for the auction, we have an amazing fifty registered bidders for this item. Now before we start accepting bids, I want to introduce the prize and explain the conditions. The prize is an evening with Charles Bartowski our guest speaker for this evening. The conditions are as follows; the winner will be responsible for arranging and paying for the evening. The evening will start at 7pm and finish at 12am, must include a meal and at least one dance and anything else is at Mr Bartowski's discretion" said Jeffrey.

Sarah's face went red and Star's smile went even bigger, Chuck gave Sarah's hand a tight squeeze then lightly rubbed her thigh in what was supposed to be a reassuring manner but made Sarah forget all her worries and concerns and closed her eyes. They came flooding back when Sarah opened her eyes and saw Star licking her lips suggestively.

"So let's get Charles up here before we start the bidding" said Jeffrey.

Chuck walked up to stage.

"Ok everyone lets start the bidding, do I have $5,000?" said Jeffrey.

A/N Star Marriott is a completely fictitious character and resemblance to any person living or dead is completely coincidental. You may have noticed that Sarah has started to get some of her self confidence back.

I am also sorry if things got a little too hot for the rating, reminder if you are interested keep an eye out for the M rating release of what happened after the fireworks.
