Mind Made Up Pt. 09

She giggles as she says that; I'm surprised but choose to hide it.

"Why not?"

"Well, he was apparently quite the ladies' man - except I'm a ladies' woman, if you understand what I mean."

Lesbian. I suspected as much. She has no sexual interest in me; however, she's still clearly under the influence of my spell, else I don't think she'd let me in or react so well to my proposals.

"What did he want the money for?" I inquire.

"I didn't ask then. I was a bit more naive. Although from what I learned later, he used it well. Placed it in the bank - some of it."

"How much are we talking about?"

"Ten thousand dollars," she replies.

I don't recall anything in the will about this money. Dad had no debts but also no cash inheritance - unless it's hidden, or spent? The thought makes me think I have to revisit the local bank; in any event, I sort of have to consider that most of my father's assets are missing. I was already planning to go there tomorrow, so I can add that to the list of things to settle.

"He was still quite convincing, Lulu says. Much like you. Must run in the family, no?"

Even if I'm no longer wearing the ornate ring, my hand goes towards my finger, to cover it. Lulu notices but can't understand the meaning of the gesture.

"Must," I tell her.

"So you want to buy this home? I certainly can't front you two million dollars," she laughs.

"And I would never ask for that. But I still think we can help each other. I can help you make more money."

If anyone is going to understand my situation, it's probably her; she's driven to success and looks like she'd be willing to take any route necessary to achieve her goals.

"I'm good with people," I tell her. "I mean... think of it. I'm here, aren't I? I don't have much to offer, but you entertain me anyway."

"That is true. You have a flair about you that I can't pin down - it's fascinating really."

"Well, that flair, I can put to use."

My mind snaps into the moment.

"Hire me. I'll work for you. I'll help you close deals. I'll work as a troubleshooter as well as graphic artist."

"A few days ago, you wanted to remain independent," she reminds me.

"Well, people change their minds. I have. I see the opportunity here. A long-term relationship sounds more profitable to me than just a one-time payment. We can even forget the loan - I can give it back."

"That's nonsense," Lulu replies. "That's leverage, young man."

I stare at her, a bit confused.

"Leverage over you. If you disappoint. You'll still owe me."

"I suppose I will. But I won't disappoint."

We stare at one another for a silent moment; I have to ask the question.

"Do I have a job?

"Almost," she tells me.

"What do you need from me?" I ask.

She considers my query for only a moment.

"You tell me you're good at closing deals?"

"I am."

She looks at Elena.

"Miss Brighton?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"What do you think of this young man?"

"A bit pretentious, but he is kind of cute."

The comment does not shock me in any way as I tend to have that effect on people lately; Lulu turns back to me.

"I want you to convince my assistant to hire you. If you have her vote, you have mine."

"I can do that," I tell Lulu.

She rises to her feet and walks across the room, sitting in a couch to watch us. Elena remains standing as I consider my approach; I'm not entirely sure what to do or say, but I think I can improvise something.

"Elena."

"Yes?"

"This... is not about me. This is about you."

She stares, unsure where I'm going with this. I also have Lulu's undivided attention.

"What's your objective in life? Why are you working here?"

"Well," Elena answers, "there are many reasons."

She turns towards her boss.

"Obviously, it's quite a privilege to work for Miss Bowler. There's the intensity of what we do which I adore. The pay is good. I get to impact the city's well-being as well."

"That's good," I tell her, "but what about personal goals. Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years?"

Elena giggles.

"Sounds like I'm the one being interviewed!"

"Just... play along," I tell her.

"Ok. Well. In the same spot, I suppose. I love this job."

"And you're going to do that for the rest of your life? Work for Miss Bowler?"

Elena flinches; I can't hide my smirk.

"Well, huh..."

She looks at Lulu a bit awkwardly; I try to reassure Elena.

"I don't think anything you can say will shock Miss Bowler, Elena. You can be honest."

"Well... where do YOU see yourself?" she retorts.

"In all fairness, in a very large home, surrounded by the people I love, taking care of them so they don't have to fret the small things in life. I want them to be able to work at whatever they want, with no worries - or even just live idly by. I think I can achieve that - with your employer's help, obviously."

I've answered the question, pnow utting Elena in the hot seat.

"I guess..."

She looks back to her employer for a brief glance.

"When she retires, I'd like to take over for miss Bowler."

"Commendable," I say.

Lulu winks at us; she's quite interested in how this is turning out. Hearing her assistant speak of her goals is proving quite interesting.

"If she ever retires," Elena adds with a wink.

"Why would you want to be in her shoes?" I ask. "Looks like a difficult job to me."

"It is, but so rewarding! Have you looked at this place? At her?"

"I have. And I have the same ambitions as you, Elena. I want to win at life! And as you can see, I'm already on the right track. You can see that, can't you?"

I get a longing stare.

"You have your head in the game, that's for sure."

"More than you can imagine," I reply. "Listen Elena - I promise that if we work together, we'll both profit from it immensely. What do you say?"

Elena turns to Lulu.

"Damn he's good."

"I can see that."

Lulu stares at me; her eyes seem to tell me to take this all the way to the bank, so to speak. I hesitate only for a brief moment.

"We should shake on it then," I reach my hand out.

She brings her hand to mine and we do shake; however, I don't let go. I smile at her and see her blush.

"I'd kiss you to seal the deal as well," I tell her," but I don't know how appropriate that is with your boss around."

"Don't mind me," an amused Lulu replies.

I nudge at Elena's direction, winking a bit, biting my lower lip. The suggestive nature of those moves makes her tremble, and she leans in against me to plant a kiss on my lips. It's sweet and soft; my free hand reaches behind her head and I hold her in place, starting to make out with her. I sense the tension melting in her as our lips and tongue work their magic together. I release her head and she pulls away, almost breathless.

"...fuck," she whimpers.

Lulu cannot help but laugh.

"What's wrong I ask?"

"Fuck I'm so horny," she whimpers, surprise to state it out loud.

"What do you want to do about it?" I inquire.

Again, and unsurprisingly, her eyes go to the other person in the room. Lulu stares at us, somewhat also surprised by the sudden escalation of events. She's not clear on how to proceed - clearly, I've seduced her personal assistant on some level.

I then remember that, even if I can't make Lulu want to have sex with me (and if she doesn't, that's fine), I can still sway her. I must admit that kiss has turned me on again. I turn to Lulu.

"Personally, I welcome a celebration of our new alliance."

"Well, fancy that," Lulu replies in a sarcastic tone. "Alliance? You're quite pretentious, Grant."

"I'm very confident in my abilities," I tell her.

"So you are..."

It takes a moment but Lulu eventually glances at Elena, giving her approval for the obvious next step. Elena grabs my clothes and starts taking them off quickly; I have to help her otherwise she'll tear them off. It takes less than a minute for me to be fully naked, exposed to the two women in the room. And while I don't personally excite Lulu, the idea of what's about to happen does, especially when her own assistant starts stripping as well. Equally fast, she stands naked in the room, bringing her lips back to mine.

"I have to admit," Lulu states. "That is the hottest scene I have every witnessed!"

"You should... enjoy yourself," I tell her.

That's a suggestion she can get behind. Just because I won't be having sex with her doesn't mean she can't enjoy it on her own. She nods and starts stripping herself, much more slowly.

"Sit on the carpet," Elena tells me.

I go to sit; she helps me down, spreading my legs to give her access to my shaft.

"Fuck it looks good!" she claims.

I watch her mouth hover around my cock; I barely have time to reply before she buries her mouth on it.

"Ah... fuck!" I mumble.

She hums against it, happy. I can't help but recall the other image from this morning - Heather going down on me, pleasing me, sucking me dry. Another gorgeous woman is yet servicing me greedily. I hazard a look at our host, the delightful Lulu Bowler, exposing her impressive breasts to me. She has lovely tattoos on her left shoulder and arm, hidden under her clothes - a wild woman, I tell myself. She's watching Elena perform fellatio on me; I can't help but notice how she stares at her assistant's ass, raised as she lowers her head onto me.

We carry on like this for a moment; I watch Lulu strip completely, gently teasing her pussy . Meanwhile, I enjoy the bliss of oral pleasure that my partner Elena is intent on providing, watching her delicious frame in-between my legs.

"Elena, dear..."

She pulls away from my cock, turning to her employer.

"Yes, ma'am?"

Elena is pratically out-of-breath.

"Would you be so kind as to get my... tool... from my bedroom?"

"At once, ma'am."

She rises to her feet, looking at me.

"Keep it hard for me."

I nod, then watch her leave. My eyes go back to a now naked Lulu; she glances at me.

"Not bad. I've been with men before," she says. "Well, when I was young and didn't know about my preferences."

"Are you satisfied by my performance?" I joke.

"Oh! I am! But you'd better make sure that Elena is satisfied too," Lulu giggles. "Your job may depend on it!"

I smile. Elena returns; she's holding a black dildo. She hands it over to her boss. I can't help but chuckle.

"You knew exactly where it was, right?" I let out.

They don't answer. I can't help but laugh at my insinuation.

"Why don't you focus on my assistant?" Lulu replies.

I nod, motioning Elena onto the couch. She gets on all fours, suggestively raising her ass. I shuffle behind her, caressing her sweet behind. I watch Lulu bring the dildo between her legs, rubbing it against her opening. I do the same with my cock on Elena's pussy, eliciting sweet moans of delight from her.

"I'm so ready for you," I tell her.

"Put it in me."

My eyes go to Lulu's face as she watches me penetrate her assistant; Lulu herself is staring at Elena's own face, most probably showing her the bliss from my penetration. My own face betrays the wonderful warmth wrapping around my cock.

"Oh God..." Elena yelps.

The dildo disappears inside Lulu's sex; she closes her eyes to the sensation even as one of her hands caresses her breast. My hands go to Elena's waist and I thrust forward, then back, then forward again. Another new pussy for me, I think - each one so unique, so perfect. For a brief moment, I ask myself if Elena has a significant other, but with my cock buried deep in her, it's a bit late to consider it.

"Fuck, Lulu... he's so hired..."

"I can see that... mmmm..."

I hear them but I don't focus; my mind is in-between my legs, fucking Elena with intensity. Of course, I also can't look away from the spectacle of Lulu treating herself to wonderful sensations with her black dildo. Within the confines of Elena, I can still imagine that I'm the one dicking away inside Lulu. She obviously knows this as she stares at me seductively.

It's nice to be seduced in kind, I tell myself. Too often, my partners give in too easily to my advances. Then again, I probably shouldn't complain about it, relatively speaking.

"Oh my fucking god, Grant, don't stop!"

I look down at Elena; her head is tilted towards me, trying to watch me pound myself into her.

"You're so tight," I tell her.

"Only because you're so big," she replies, playing along.

Lulu's eyes are closed; she's working herself hard towards her climax and I can't help but appreciate how hot she still looks, in her late forties. I daydream of having sex with her - I may yet at some point, who knows - even as I continue ravaging Elena from behind.

"Oh god... ooh gooood..." she yelps.

She's hitting her peak; I drive it home harder and make her orgasm on my rod. She trembles as she tries to hang on, supported only in front by her wavering arms; at the end of the ride, she collapses forward while I keep drilling inside her, eliciting more sweet moans from the intercourse as she can barely recover from my push.

"Fuck... miss Bowler... he's tearing me apart," she yelps with more delight.

Lulu smiles with glee at the mention, eyes closed, focused on her own pleasure; it's not long for her to reach the pinnacle of pleasure and rock her body to its fullest; the sight of her delicious orgasm is enough to further drive me home as well.

"Oh fuck, Elena... I'm gonna come... inside your pussy!" I yelp.

It's Lulu that replies for her, uncharacteristically lewd even for the scene.

"Fuck her pussy good! Fill her to the brim with your seed!"

The audacity of the words breaks me; I groan hard as I start ejaculating inside my partner. She moans with satisfaction underneath me as she feels my offering fill up her womb. I offer Lulu my most poignant orgasmic face, raking in all the pleasure it offers me. As I wind down, I remain buried in Elena's warmth. There's a lingering etheric mist in the air, satisfaction garnered by all participants.

"Well now, Lulu eventually states, "that's certainly an uncommon way to seal the deal."

"Can we go again?" Elena asks. "You feel so good in me..."

I giggle, feeling myself softening slowly inside her.

"I'm good, but I'm not THAT good," I reply with a hint of sarcasm.

I caress Elena's buttocks as I pull out, making a bit of a mess of it. Lulu grins as she rises from her seat and walk towards me. She's impressive, any way you present her - naked like this, she's also extremely arousing. I'd become hard again if my body would let me.

"Well, Grant, you're hired."

"I... I guess so."

"This was truly enlightening," she tells me.

Elena shuffles off the couch and moves to gather her clothing; she's still lost in the ecstasy. My eyes are drawn towards her, but Lulu brings me back.

"Tell me how you want to make this happen?" Lulu asks.

"Listen, I obviously can't ask you to pay for the home on the beach. That would be unreasonable."

"I agree."

"I have a plan for that money anyway. Just like last Friday, I want your name as collateral. The bank will require that."

Lulu quizzically looks at me.

"Another loan?"

"Not quite. Just enough for the required downpayment."

"That is still 400 grand," she says.

I nod.

"Yeah. I know. But I have an idea on that as well."

"Even if you get it," Lulu comments, "you'll still have monthly rent payments of roughly six thousand dollars."

She's good with numbers; I'm glad I took the route of consulting her.

"I'm going to pool ressources," I tell her.

She stares at me.

"I don't want to live alone in that house," I explain. "I'm going to invite everyone who wants to join us. There are certainly enough rooms - enough space for everyone."

"And you think people will come?"

I grin.

"I know they will. I'll ask nicely."

She considers what she just witnesssed; this makes her smile.

"But can you get enough people - and money?" she further asks.

"I believe so."

She seems to consider what I'm saying.

"Well, as impressive as your convincing skills are, I can't afford a monhtly salary of six thousand dollars after expenses, but I can certainly help you along."

She turns to Elena.

"How was it?"

"I loved it, miss Bowler. The orgasm was incredible. I... can't wait for a next time."

"You were sublime," Lulu replies to her assistant. "I loved watching you climax like that."

Elena blushes. Lulu turns to me.

"You should pimp yourself out, if you want money."

"It's an idea, but all this is free."

I point to my naked self; Elena and Lulu laugh at my quip. Lulu reflects on the numbers.

"I'll start you at 50$ an hour. That's a good decent pay for someone with your graphic skills. Except I'll be asking you to help me close deals. Whenever we close one together, you'll get a bonus of 1% of that deal. Seems fair?"

"More than," I reply.

We shake on it.

"That means your salary covers about 1/6th of the amount you'll need for the home."

"I'm certain I can get it all, if I pool resources."

"Good."

I stare in Elena's direction.

"What about you? Would you like to come and live in my future mansion?"

"Promise me sex like that and I just might," she replies.

"Well, being real, there'll be other girls. I hope you're not jealous."

"Are you kidding?" she asks. "I'd love to watch you in action with other people. The only thing I missed out on a moment ago was watching your face as you came - I'd love to see that soon."

I smile.

"We can certainly arrange that."

Lulu giggles.

"Well now, it seems things are indeed heading your way, Grant. Congratulations on your new job and security."

"Thank you, Lulu. I'm at your service."

I bow to her.

"Careful. I might just take you up on that."

"I hope you do," I tell her.

The atmosphere is pleasant. I've definitely won Lulu (and Elena) over. But the rest of my plan is out of their hands.

I REACH THE SIDEWALK just before noon. I'm hungry from the emotion and the sex so I grab a bite to eat at a local cantina. I want to celebrate that victory. However, I need to give my little soldier time to recover. Elena and Heather, both in the morning, took its toll.

"If I'm gonna be living with all these girls," I mumble to myself, "I'm gonna have to step up my game."

I can picture it, all of them wanting a piece of me, and being unable to provide for them all because I'm only one man! This, however, gets me thinking of the ring. It's not as present in my mind because I'm not wearing it. I asked Mary - my friendly sexy librarian - to look it up for me. Maybe she's found something - or maybe I can just use this opportunity to see her. I haven't visited with her since last Sunday.

I walk there at a brisk pace, entering the library with a spring in my step. I move to the counter, where Mary is working. She's as gorgeous as ever, and when she sees me, a smile explodes on her face. I walk up to her.

"How are you, gorgeous?"

"Oh! Grant... I... I'm super, now that you're here."

She giggles and leans over the counter to kiss me; I welcome it. A few onlookers stare but say nothing.

"I'd love to take some time with you but I don't have a break until a while," she tells me.

"As much as I'd like that, this is more business. But when do you get off?"

"Whenever you want me to," she jokes.

I smile at her sexual quip; she answers appropriately that her shift today ends at 5.

"Then let's have something happen tonight," I tell her.

"Great!"

"Would you mind if there were more than just us two?" I inquire.

She leans in.

"As long as I get a taste of your delicious cock, you can bring the entire town along," she murmurs.

I give her an excited look, then turn to the business at hand.

"Have you made progress in your research about the heirloom?"

She nods negatively.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't worry. It's gotta be almost impossible to find. Do you know anyone else that could help?"
