Lacey continued to stare at Danny with several conflicting thoughts running through her head. But she knew she had to stick to her guns or Danny would eat her alive, no pun intended. He had too much game and too many tricks up his sleeve for Lacey to come out on top in all of this. Of course she probably could just get on top of him, but that's neither here nor there. Lacey was not falling in to his trap, no matter how hard he tried. He had already suckered her into going farther than she ever intended to go with him, and it would not happen again. He charmed the pants right off of her. Literally. Her panties too. If she really was as stupid as she was the night before, she would knock all the things off of his desk and go for round two. But she was not going to do that. She was not giving in to Danny Desai ever again.
"So, anything I ask Danny? You will do anything I ask you to do?" Lacey asks quizzically.
"Yes, Lacey. I will do anything that you ask me to do to make up for what happened last night." Danny says sincerely.
"How about we pretend last night never happened and we go back to hating each other? I want you to pretend that you don't know me and not say anything to me and I will do the same. We can only communicate when it's work related and that's all. I think that's a pretty easy thing for us to do." Lacey says as she eyes Danny seriously.
Danny felt his heart skip a beat. That's not what he had in mind. "I'm sorry Lacey, but I can't do that." Danny replies.
Lacey exhales and frowns. "You said you would do anything, though." Lacey counters as she tries to not let the look on his face get to her.
"I know I did, but I wasn't expecting you to say that." Danny admits.
"Oh really? What were you expecting me to say then, Danny?" Lacey asks in a defiant tone.
"I thought you were going to tell me to knock all of this stuff off my desk and we pick up where we left off last night." Danny says. Lacey's reaction is one that he might normally question, but he's already treading on thin ice.
"Last night? Why would I want to do that? Do you know how last night made me feel?" Lacey asks as she stares at him. She can't believe he brought up exactly what she was thinking about. It's like he was reading her mind.
"I assumed it made you feel good." Danny says and Lacey turns away. He slid over on the desk to get closer to her and leaned over so that he was almost in her face. "You did feel good, didn't you Lacey?" Danny asks.
Lacey gets a little flustered. "I don't want to talk about it." Lacey says as she averts his stare.
"Why not?" Danny asks.
"Because I'd rather not." Lacey says.
"Why not?" Danny asks again.
Lacey sighs. "I just told you I'd rather not talk or think about it." Lacey says.
"Why? Because you don't want to admit that you really enjoyed yourself and that you shouldn't have left? That you like me as much as I like you?" Danny questions without pause.
"If I tell you what you want to hear, will you leave me alone?" Lacey asks once she turns her head to look at him.
"I don't want you to tell me what I want to hear. I want you to tell me the truth." Danny says.
Lacey lightly chuckles. "Ok, here's the truth. Yes, I did feel good. Yes, I was going to sleep with you until you cheapened it and turned me into one of your regulars, notches, or whatever you call them. I get that what you did is part of your plan of seduction, but I don't want to be just another woman you turned out. So, there's your truth." Lacey says finally.
"Do you think I do what I did to you to every woman I want to sleep with?" Danny asks as he studies her beautiful face.
"That's exactly what I think." Lacey says as she deadpan stares at him.
"Well, you're wrong Lacey. I did what I did because I like you and I wanted to. I don't have to do that to get sex. I can get sex anywhere and from whomever I want it from." Danny says.
"Well, you can't get sex from me now, can you?" Lacey asks smartly.
Danny startles Lacey by grabbing her and picking her up and putting her on his desk. He knocked off some things in the process, but he didn't care. He stands in front of her and then parts her legs by placing his body between her knees. He slid his hand under her dress and rubbed her thigh until he reached her butt. "Are you sure about that?" Danny asks as he continues to rub on her thigh. He puts his face close to hers and presses his lips against her full, open ones.
Lacey swallows hard and subconsciously closes her eyes. "Yes, I'm sure." Lacey says though she doesn't mean it.
"I don't think you're sure Lacey." Danny says surely.
"I am sure. I mean what I say. I'm not having sex with you." Lacey says and they both know it's a lie.
"But you just said that you wanted to sleep with me last night." Danny says.
"I lied. I was just telling you what you wanted to hear." Lacey lies while trying to keep her bearings.
Danny takes his hand and slides her dress further up her thighs. "Tell me to stop." Danny says.
"I can't." Lacey replies honestly.
"Do you want me to stop?" Danny asks as he starts to rub her on the outside of her panties. He can feel how wet she is and that turns him on even more.
Lacey just locks eyes with him and shakes her head no.
"I want to taste you some more. Let me taste you again." Danny says.
"Ok." Lacey says quietly as Danny kisses her lips again. She answered a little too quickly and that isn't the answer she wanted to give him.
"Touch me." Danny says. When Lacey doesn't do what he said, he grabs her hand and moves it to his crotch area so that she can touch him. She immediately feels that he's hard as a rock. His bulge turned her on. It caused her vagina to tingle and her mouth to water. Lacey rubbed it some more through his pants until she unzipped his trousers and reached her hand through the opening. She reached in through the opening of his boxers and grabbed his penis. It was thick and bulging. She instantly wanted it inside of her. Everywhere. She wanted to do things with Danny and his penis that she had never done with any other man. She started thinking that it was perfect. She never had a perfect penis in mind but she was definitely holding it in her hand. It was the perfect width and length. Lacey got wet and excited just thinking about it. The downside would be having the perfect penis with sorry or mediocre sex. He had already went down on her and he was a pro at that. Maybe he was that good at it to make up for being a lousy lay. Yeah, he talked a good game. Danny Desai was the cockiest bastard on the planet. He could tell the sun that he was hotter than it was. He just simply walked around like he was the best and no one would tell him any different or take that away from him. Lacey wondered how he got that cocky. Was it gradual? Or did he simply come into the world thinking he was the cream of the crop. Maybe his mother doted on him and treated him like a king, so he really thought he was one.
Or maybe it was just his looks. The man was absolutely gorgeous. The epitome of hot. His chestnut-brown eyes that had specs of honey in them. His tanned skin that somehow made him sexier. His soft lips framed by right amount of facial hair. And his hair. She had never seen hair that gorgeous on another man. Most women could envy his hair. Lacey really liked his hair and wanted to run her hands through it. She had the opportunity to do just that the night before when his head was between her legs, but she was too shocked and preoccupied about his mouth being on her in that way. She didn't at all care about being naked in front of him, because being nude actually turned her on. She felt like she always wanted to walk around and be naked in front of him. She started to think more about her pussy being in his mouth and she realized that she wanted that again. His tactics of turning her on had worked. She might as well embrace it.
"I want this." Lacey says as she continues to stroke his dick.
"I know. You ran away before I could give it to you." Danny says as he slips his finger under the outer edge of her panties and strokes her lips with his finger.
"I won't run away tonight." Lacey says. "That's if you want to give it to me." Lacey teases as she gives his bottom lip a light bite.
"Yes, I still want to give it to you. I need to ask you something though." Danny says as he continues to stroke her.
"Ask me what?" Lacey asks.
"Can I do whatever I want to do?" Danny wonders.
"Yes. But just this once. And then we have to go back to being sworn enemies." Lacey jokes.
"You know you probably shouldn't have said yes though, right Lacey? You have no idea what I want to do to you." Danny replies.
"And you have no idea what I want to do to you." Lacey says.
"Fair enough. As much as I hate to stop, I think we need to get back to work." Danny says.
"I think you're right." Lacey says as she releases his penis and zips his pants back up. "I need to go to the ladies room. I'll be right back." Lacey says to Danny and he stops stroking her and removes his hand from inside her panties. He reluctantly backs up as Lacey hops from his desk. She saunters out of his office with Danny watching her walk away. He thinks he needs to go to the men's room to get himself together also.
Lacey made her way to the ladies room and was humming to herself. She was standing at the sinks washing her hands when Whitney entered the restroom. Lacey got caught up in washing her hands, humming and smiling that she didn't notice that Whitney was just standing there and observing her with her arms folded.
"What's with you?" Whitney asks. She laughs to herself when she noticed that Lacey jumped at the sound of her voice.
Lacey turned to look at Whitney. "Oh! You startled me for a moment." Lacey says as she turns back to the mirror to check her reflection.
"I can see that. You were too busy in your own little happy world to notice I've been standing here for a little while now. So again I ask, what's with you?" Whitney replies.
Lacey looks over at Whitney again. "What do mean by that?" Lacey asks politely.
"I want to know what has you humming and smiling like you're having your picture taken." Whitney asks.
"Nothing. I'm just in a good mood. Can't I be in a good mood?" Lacey asks.
"Of course you can be in a good mood. I want to know why though." Whitney says.
"No reason in particular." Lacey lies.
Whitney raises her eyebrow and gives Lacey a wistful expression. "You slept with Danny, didn't you?" Whitney accuses.
Lacey tries to hide that she's flustered. "I did not." Lacey admits truthfully.
"Oh, yes you did. That explains it. You totally slept with Danny. How was it? I want details." Whitney says as she steps closer to Lacey.
"Details? There's nothing to tell you." Lacey lies. She has something to tell her but she isn't telling Whitney a thing.
Whitney laughs. "You are such a liar. Maybe you haven't slept with him yet, but you have done something. That whole thing with you two being holed up in his office for hours, going to lunch, and you guys suddenly not hating each other means that something sexual happened between you two. I know it." Whitney says surely.
Lacey decides to change the subject. "Where were you yesterday? Phoebe and I were looking for you." Lacey says.
"Don't try to change the subject by asking about me. I had a doctor's appointment and decided to take the whole day. Now answer my question. You slept with Danny, didn't you?' Whitney replies.
"Whitney, you are absolutely 100% wrong. I did not have sexual intercourse with Danny." Lacey admits honestly.
"Who said anything about sexual intercourse? I said slept. That means that you had some form of sex with him. You just ratted yourself out and you don't even know it." Whitney says.
"I did not rat myself out because we didn't sleep together." Lacey says truthfully.
"Just tell me. Did you have Bill Clinton sex with Danny?" Whitney asks in a teasing voice.
Lacey is appalled. "No Whitney. I did not have Bill Clinton sex with Danny." Lacey answers.
"Well then you must have had that other form of not sexual intercourse with him then. That would explain the humming and the smiling." Whitney says as she tries to lay it on Lacey thick so that she'll fess up.
Lacey decides to let Whitney think what she wants. She's right and Lacey hates that Whitney can read her like a book. It's so frustrating. "I did no such thing. You can believe what you'd like to believe, Ms. Taylor." Lacey says as she walks past Whitney to leave the ladies room.
Lacey hummed the whole way back to Danny's office.
Danny and Lacey worked through the first half of their day with relative ease. They had gotten the bulk of the work they needed to do, but still had things they needed to finish before they left town on Monday. Though Lacey never would have admitted it a week ago, she was glad that Mr. Wheeler put her with Danny. She actually learned a few things from him. He might be a cocky and arrogant asshole, but he was definitely good at his job. Lacey tried to put out of her mind the other thing he was good at.
"So what are we doing for lunch, Lace?" Danny asks as he surprises her by calling her the name that nobody ever calls her.
"Did you just call me Lace?" Lacey asks inquisitively.
"Yes. Why? You don't like it?" Danny asks.
"No, it's not that. Nobody has ever called me that though. I'm just wondering how you came up with it." Lacey answers.
"I guess because you're pretty and delicate, like lace." Danny says.
Lacey smiles. "I'm not that delicate, Danny." Lacey admits.
"Oh, I know you're pretty tough when you need to be. How about I only call you that in the bedroom. How does that sound?" Danny asks.
Lacey starts to giggle. "I guess that's fine." Lacey says.
"Now that that's covered, what are we doing for lunch?" Danny asks.
"I don't know. What do you have a taste for?" Lacey asks and waits for his response. She has to look up at him because he hasn't answered her yet.
"I have a taste for you for lunch, Lace." Danny says as he smirks at her. Danny and that smirk of his makes Lacey weak in the knees.
"You can have me for dinner, not lunch." Lacey says.
"That's just what I want too. I think we should head to Donna's for lunch. I could go for a turkey club." Danny says.
"Great. Are we inviting the gang?" Lacey asks.
"Sure, why not?" Danny says as they get ready to leave his office. "I'll get Cole, you get the girls. We'll meet you in the lobby in 10." Danny says.
"Alright. See you guys in 10." Lacey says as she heads for Phoebe's office. Lacey knocked on Phoebe's office door but didn't get an answer. She then went to Whitney's office where she found Phoebe and Whitney talking. Lacey knocked and then walked in. "Hello ladies. Do you have plans for lunch?" Lacey asks.
"Hello, Lacey. Nope. No plans." Phoebe says.
"What did you have in mind?" Whitney asks.
"Would you like to go to Donna's with us?" Lacey asks.
Whitney grins. "So you two are an 'us' now?" Whitney asks with that grin on her face.
"No, we're not an 'us' Whitney. Cole is coming too." Lacey says to avoid going there with Whitney.
"Count me in." Phoebe grins.
"Alright, I'm in too." Whitney says as she stands and walks from behind her desk. All three women exit Whitney's office and heads for the elevator. They make their way to the lobby where Cole and Danny are waiting.
"Hello ladies." Cole says as he flashes his movie star smile. Cole looks like he should be an actor in a Soap Opera.
Phoebe instantly starts blushing, her crush on Cole evident by her demeanor. "Hello, Cole. Hey Danny." Phoebe says.
"Hey guys." Whitney says.
Danny and Lacey are too busy gazing at each other to take part in the greetings. Phoebe, Whitney, and Cole just look at them. "Do you two want to be alone?" Cole asks.
They finally break from their gaze. "What?" Danny asks as he slowly takes his eyes off of Lacey.
"I asked if you two wanted to be alone." Cole says.
"No. Let's head to lunch, shall we?" Danny says as he and Lacey turn to head to Donna's. They didn't notice that Phoebe, Cole, and Whitney weren't right behind them.
"Those two are definitely sleeping together." Whitney says.
"I'm going to have to agree with you. The aura in Danny's office changed when Lacey arrived this morning. I felt like I was intruding." Cole says.
"Did you see the eye sex?" Whitney asks. "Not to mention she was humming and smiling in the ladies room earlier." Whitney says as she starts to walk with Phoebe and Cole following suit.
"Yeah, that was definitely eye sex. They're having regular sex too." Phoebe says.
They all make their way to the restaurant and sit at a table. The whole way through lunch, Danny and Lacey seemed to forget that there were three other people at the table with them. Whitney was greatly amused by their actions. "You two need to get a room." Whitney says, seemingly out of nowhere.
"We already have a room. My office. Right, Lacey?" Danny asks as he playfully winks at Lacey to let her know he's kidding.
Lacey giggles. "Right."
Danny reached in his pants pocket and took out his wallet. He threw some cash on the table and stood up. "Lunch is on me." Danny says as he grabs Lacey's hand. "We need to go and take care of something." Danny says before he and Lacey leave the table with Whitney, Cole, and Phoebe watching them walk away.
Lacey made her way home after putting in a full day at work. She had a little bit of time to wind down before she got ready to leave and go to Danny's. She started thinking that maybe she should stand him up to get back at him the day before. She decided against it because the truth of the matter was, she wanted Danny and wanted to do things with and to him. She was tired of lying to herself about it. They would have sealed the deal and went for it the night before, but it didn't happen that way. So instead of standing him up and in turn depriving herself, she decided on another way to get back at Danny. She had plenty of tricks up her sleeve as well. Danny mistakenly took her for a good girl. He really thought she was delicate like he said. He was wrong.
Yes, she could be dainty like a flower and delicate like lace like he said, but she had another side to her as well. He would see that side tonight. Lace, as he would call her, would be the total opposite. Lacey got giddy and excited just thinking about it. He had no idea what she had planned. She went into her closet and got what she wanted to wear before she headed to her shower. She also packed a bag just in case she ended up spending the night. She dressed quickly because she needed to make a stop before she got to Danny's place. She needed to text him and ask him something because she didn't want to ruin her plan at the last minute. Lacey got her phone and sent:
Are there any cameras in the elevator leading to your place? She waited for his response while she continued to get ready. He replied as she was fixing her hair.
Yes. Why? Danny sent as his reply.
Lacey ignored his question. Can you turn them off?
Yes. Why? Danny asked again.
Lacey smiled to herself. She again ignored his question. It's a surprise. I'll text you when I'm outside of your place so that you can turn them off.
What are you planning? Should I be worried? Danny sent.
Lacey started to laugh out loud. Yes, he should worry. No, not at all. I'll see you soon.
I can't wait. Danny replied immediately.
Lacey finished up at her house and headed for her car. She made the stop she needed to make before she drove to Danny's. Once that part of the mission was completed she made her way to Danny's. She texted him and told him that she was outside and on her way into the building. She reminded him to turn the camera in the elevator off. She got what she needed, walked up to the front door, hit the button and went inside after he buzzed her in. Lacey was giddy like a little girl ready to play dress up. Once she was inside the elevator, she completed part two of the mission.
It was showtime.
