“Don’t play hardball. If she doesn’t want our lifestyle, then don’t push her.”

“I’m not pushing her. I asked her if she wanted to come for lunch and she said yes, but if she did make it out here that she couldn’t stay long. Maybe she won’t even come.”

“That’s not my point.” Dominick sighed. He wanted to launch into a long diatribe about not running roughshod over her, or scaring her off while he was out of town, but it was already past time for him to leave. “I’ve got to go.”

“Have fun.”

If Dominick hadn’t absolutely had to go to the Montana ranch and sign and notarize papers to continue letting his cousins run the place for another year, he would have gladly stayed. He also would have been in persuasion mode when Stella was around.

Leaving without a firm plan in place to meet again as a threesome made him a bit nervous. Stella was in point of fact very important to him. Maybe he hadn’t even realized it fully until this moment. He didn’t even want to leave the state unless she was going with him or planned to be waiting when he got back. Even four days seemed way too long to be away from her.

As he drove to the airport, he formulated a plan for his return. The moment he got back to Colorado he planned to grab Tyler and find her wherever she was even if he had to march into the snobby law offices where she worked, and let her know they were serious about a future.

* * * *

Stella arrived at work bright and early Monday morning with a song in her heart and smile on her lips. Not even Claudia the Bitch was going to ruin her mood today. The night before had been utterly perfect. The weekend before had been even better.

Dominick and Tyler made love to her again this very early morning before she left. She’d gone back to her apartment to shower and get dressed for work and her legs had still been wobbly. Had she known how enjoyable screaming orgasms were to her morning routine, she might have found a way to include them in her daily ritual before now. Although, two men fucking her mindless until she writhed in ecstasy was certainly preferable to any mechanical device she would have employed.

As she passed the receptionist desk on her way to her closet-size office, Abby stopped her with a hand on her forearm. In a barely audible tone, she said, “Claudia called in five minutes ago. She said she’s going to be late. She said to tell you to cover the eight o’clock meeting for her. She might make it in for the last five minutes, but may not. You’re to take good notes.” Abby rolled her eyes as if the last part of the message was even too over-the-top not to comment on.

Stella glanced at her watch. Great, twenty minutes to prepare for a two-hour-long meeting she’d never been to. The good news was not having to deal with Claudia first thing in the morning.

“Okay, I’ll get right on it. It’s in the Colorado Conference Room, right?”

“Correct. And don’t be late. Mr. Stevens is head of that meeting, and he’s always a bear about punctuality. And likely the reason Claudia wasn’t going to show up at all. She’d rather be a no-show than late to that meeting.” Before she turned away Abby whispered, “Oh, Stella, one more thing, I almost forgot. Mr. Fuller wants to see you first thing this morning for just a minute.”

“Mr. Fuller?” Claudia’s boss?
Great
. The man with the cock shoved regularly in Claudia’s mouth wanted to see her. He probably wanted to know where Claudia was.

Stella would spend the minute trying not to look at him in the face. Plus, now she’d have less than twenty minutes to prepare for Claudia’s morning meeting. She hoped Mr. Fuller only needed the one minute, because she’d need the other nineteen to keep up during the eight o’clock meeting.

She hurried to Mr. Fuller’s office with one eye on her watch, hoping to resolve this issue quickly so she could get on to the meeting she wasn’t prepared for thanks to Claudia the Bitch. Great way to start the morning. At least her life wasn’t boring. Especially lately. She pushed away any lurid sexual thoughts of Dominick and Tyler. She didn’t have time to daydream today.

Mr. Fuller’s secretary, Heather, was always smug and uptight. She greeted Stella with a predictable measure of warmth. The same as what she reserved for peers in the company, which was about as high as the frosty temperature outside.

“You may go in,” she said blandly. “He’s expecting you.”

“Thanks.” Stella smiled, but Heather’s facial expression remained aloof. It was as if being cordial to employees as well as the general public cost her far too much so she didn’t bother with coworkers. She also didn’t escort her to Mr. Fuller’s door or look like she was going to move so much as a strand of hair in cordiality. Butt cheeks firmly planted in her seat, Heather focused her gaze back on her computer and ignored her. Stella moved to the closed door leading to Mr. Fuller’s large office.

She knocked on the door and waited for his gruffly spoken, “Enter,” before turning the knob and walking briskly inside. He didn’t stand or even move when she entered. He just continued to read some papers scattered across the center of his blotter.

Stella crossed to the middle of the large room and waited for him to look up.

Mr. Fuller sat behind an oversized wooden monstrosity of a desk sporting lots of carvings along each side and on every corner. They consisted of mostly hunting mosaics with antlered deer in groups of two or three, standing serenely among forests of trees waiting to be slaughtered.

She wasn’t naive about the world, and she enjoyed a good steak like any other meat eater, but Mr. Fuller seemed like a phony. He probably walked around the forest toting a gun, but wouldn’t likely have the balls to shoot it at a living creature. Perhaps Stella just had a poor opinion of him because of Claudia. He pretended to play the part of the big, bad hunter, but she wasn’t impressed.

After a slow count of ten, Stella glanced at her watch with a sense of urgency, cleared her throat, and asked, “You wanted to see me, Mr. Fuller?”

He pushed out a long sigh and finally raised his head. His scowling gaze didn’t make her feel any more comfortable. Was he angry that Claudia hadn’t made it to work yet? Did he need a Monday morning blow job, but Claudia was late and unavailable to fulfill his baser needs?

Stella felt her cheeks heat with the direction her thoughts had taken. She wouldn’t suborn gossip, but had accidentally seen Claudia on her knees in front of Mr. Fuller’s unzipped pants a year ago. They’d been playing the oral rendition of hide the salami in an empty office. She’d come back to work after hours to retrieve her forgotten cellular phone and witnessed the
blow job
through a partially-open door.

It had taken her several months not to look away in embarrassment anytime she’d seen him walking around the office. The memory of the loud grunting sounds he’d made, as Claudia sucked him to completion, were the stuff of nightmares. She half expected him to immortalize the act on one of the sides of his desk. Perhaps the ever-famous office slut hunter scene. Claudia on her hands and knees with a set of antlers strapped to her head going at a hunter with his camouflaged pants around his ankles, and inordinately hairy legs half bent in ecstasy.

Stella imagined he’d later brag to his friends. “Well, I had to gag her before I bagged her. Once she went to her knees, I knew she’d suck my cock like a champion.”

She closed her eyes to get the remembered vision of their
interlude
out of her head for the current meeting. Stella was very grateful that neither Mr. Fuller nor Claudia had noticed her witness their love connection that day.

“What can I do for you?”
Please don’t say suck my cock.

“Did you file an incident report involving an accident in your personal vehicle last week?” he asked, pulling a sheet of paper out of a folder haphazardly gracing his desk.

“Yes, sir. Did I not fill it out correctly?”

He scanned the document again. “It looks technically correct, except for one thing.”

His silence prompted her to speak again. “What thing is that, sir?”

“If you weren’t such a substandard employee, you might have realized that going out in the storm several hours after being told wouldn’t result in your trying to scam us out of money for something that was entirely your own fault.” His face mottled red with rage.

He stood suddenly, but remained behind his desk for the moment. “I know for a fact the information was passed to you in plenty of time for you to make it to the assessor’s office before the storm was even an issue.”

Stella was so shocked by his words she almost couldn’t form a reply. “But honestly, sir, I didn’t know about the trip until two in the afternoon. Claudia came by my desk well after the lunch break.”

“That’s a goddamn lie. You can’t help yourself, can you? My God, you are a piece of work.”

Stella, appalled by his terse words, took a step back in surprise as if to dodge his hateful rant. “I don’t understand. What are you—”

“Ms. Gilbert, you have been barely holding on to employment for over two years now as it is. I don’t know why Claudia puts up with you.” He cut her off before she even understood what was going on.

What the fuck?
Stella couldn’t speak. Not even in her own defense against whatever lies Claudia had been filling his head with after
he
filled her mouth.

She stood there stunned into submission as he continued to berate her for crimes she hadn’t committed. Shaking her head was all she could accomplish.

He held up the folder. “In this file I have over two dozen letters of reprimand put in here by Claudia over your stint here at Baker, Fuller and Howe.”

Stella found her voice. “That’s not true. I do not have a single reprimand in my file!”

“Oh, really. What are these?” He pulled a sheaf of papers out of the folder and dropped them on his desk’s edge.

Stella leaned forward slightly without taking a step. She was a little unnerved at the direction this meeting had taken in such a short time and she didn’t trust him enough to get any closer.

She glanced at the signature line. The signature was similar to hers, but obviously copied. “I didn’t sign these. Today is the first I’ve ever seen of them. I’m telling you the truth.”

He laughed without any mirth in his tone. “I don’t think so. You’re a very good liar, I’ll give you that. You look genuinely surprised, but I know better.”

Stella frowned. “Did Claudia give those to you?” And speaking of Claudia, shouldn’t her immediate supervisor be here if she were being reprimanded by the boss? She’d be gloating and making Stella feel even more humiliated, but he wasn’t following protocol here. Probably didn’t matter, since his father owned the place in part.

“No. Once I read the incident report and realized the discrepancy, I went into her desk files and came across them. Claudia’s been covering for you and protecting you for years, although I can’t imagine why.”

Because I do her job for her most days when she’s busy sucking your cock, you jackass.
Stella remained silent. Fury burned through her. So they were trying to get out of paying for her accident on the basis that she’d had adequate time to get there before the storm started. Bastard.

“Mr. Fuller, I’m sorry you have this maligned opinion of me, but I swear to you, I’ve never been reprimanded in written form by Claudia, and I truly didn’t know about the assessor’s office trip until well after lunch. Claudia told me to go on my way home. I remember because my home is in the opposite direction.” Stella suddenly remembered Claudia’s secretary, Abby. “Ask Ms. Hilliard, she was there when Claudia gave me the packet and directions to get there.”

“I don’t need to ask a lowly assistant her opinion on whether or not you’re a liar. I can make up my own mind based on the facts I know. Not only am I not going pay this outrageous bill for your vehicle, your services here at Baker, Fuller and Howe are no longer required.”

“What?” Stella felt the blood drain out of her face. “Please sir, I can’t afford to lose my job.”

“I guess you should have thought of that before you disgraced yourself so many times and expected Claudia to cover for you. I want you out of here now.” He grunted. “As a matter of fact…” He trailed off and shuffled through another batch of papers on his desk. “It has come to my attention that you owe a debt to the law firm that has been coming out of your paycheck like a garnishment.”
