Needless to say I was absolutely KILLING it in that dress, it made me feel like I was the sexy empowered queen of the whole world. It was classy, flowed and had just enough skin in the right places to show some sex appeal without it being revealing. I felt like a goddess and I walked like I was one. I hope I did at least. It may have came off snobby and aloof, but who cares! They all wanted my dress, and it was so satisfying when Alex got to keep telling them it was one of a kind and I was the owner.
I was having a hard time understanding how and why these guys were moving drugs across the border. As the show ended and the party started I saw the other side to this business. The drinks, the who is who debates, money, bought this, bought that, and two faced and back handed compliments being handed around among the wolves to see who would be beneficial to making them money or entertaining them in some shape or form.
I was stuck in this awkward feeling circle of designers who kept giving backhanded compliments to each others work and they were being very subtle. I looked around for Alex, Farel, and Lar but didn't see anyone.
After a little while it was making me get a headache trying to keep a smile on my face when these people disgusted me. They had too much money and time on their hands and it was obvious. When the trays of blow came out right before I excused myself, that was when I was shocked. With every server came a large tray of already made lines of the product ready for consumption of the masses.
That was enough for one night for me. I excused myself and headed for the toilet first but then decided to just go up to my room instead. I had just made it to my door when I heard voices coming from inside of my room.
"I already told you, when we go back Monday we have to meet with Ortiz first and handle that business with him. He thinks he's being investigated because he found a bug in the hall outside his office. Who knows how long or who put it there. He is now on pins and needles and being a thorn in my side." Ferals deep voice was growling the words out.
I touched my necklace to start recording the conversation as I heard Alex speak up, "Man, Ortiz is an pendejo we already knew this. For all we know someone could have planted the bug just to be an ass right back to him."
"He is trying to make excuses for not being able to deliver the product on time. He'll probably jack the price up again too. Who cares that INL is probably investigating him. That's his problem. He made a bargain and he needs to stick to his end of it."
I backed up slowly and opened the door softly and only to close it loudly and walk to my room and open the door. Farel and Alex were both there sitting down.
"Uh? Did I go to the wrong room?" I looked behind me like maybe I did even though I know I didn't. "Or did you want me to do another favor?" I teased taking my heels off and sighing to sit down in the chair by them.
"Actually, we need to send you back early. We're having a business partner coming tomorrow night and he's not the kind of person anyone wants to be around. He's a ..."
"Asshole?" I finish for him seeing his hesitation.
"Ha, that's close enough. Anyways, he's not a man you should be around. He would most likely cause problems and neither of us want to encounter a situation of that sorts."
Feral interjects, "However, going back early is not the favor. We need you to take our one of factories payroll, by the house their in Baja, its in the CD industrial area. We need you to give the people their pay. Our normal payroll clerk was shot and is in the hospital. We don't trust some of those there to not skim off the top and short the workers."
"Okay, I don't know how much to pay them?" 'What they want me to do clerical work when it's probably Ortiz they're talking about. It might be better I'm not around, he'd probably recognize me.
"We have that all sorted out for you." Farel hands over a tablet, "We've got it all on this for you, just enter their name and birthday. Some names will have red or green lines through them. Greens have bonuses in their pay that's already taken care of. Red had deductions from getting advances on pay, just in case someone says something, tell them to take it up with us on Tuesday."
"Some of the adults try to be pushy with payroll, if they still give you heck after telling them to talk to us. Mark their name with a pound or hashtag symbol so we know who's still causing trouble. The kids will be easy, they all get paid the same amount unless they have a green line."
Farel showed me how to do things on the tablet, it was rather simple, but a word he said kept repeating in my mind....Kids?
"You employ children?" confused I look up at Farel.
"Teenagers, not the young." I nod at his words looking back at the tablet.
"So I leave tomorrow morning? Where's the money? I should count it with you two here, right?"
Alex laughs, "Sure you can count it if you want but it's going to take a while by hand. It's been counted and taped by the bank already. 110000 pesos is a lot to count, we'll give you the lock box tomorrow."
"You'll need to put the cash into the machine tomorrow, one bundle at a time before you can start paying anyone. The machine will automatically spit out the correct amount but always double check it matches the time sheet. When Lar takes you back he'll show you how to do it. Make sure he stays out of sight while in the office though. We had a woman bring the priests in to 'exorcise' the demons."
"I think I can handle it. Anything else?" I look up from the tablet and get a shake of heads as they stand.
"Goodnight Maria." Farel says walking out.
"Buenas noches, ....hermosa." (Good night, beautiful.) Alex says pausing to gaze at me for a second before walking out.
I got up and started undressing carefully trying to remove the dress. ...'SHIT'
I couldn't do it by myself.
"Hmmpphh"..... I huffed. I walked out into the hall to hopefully find Lar quickly. Instead I bumped directly into Alex.
"Hermosa? Que paso?" He asked seeing I was still wearing the dress but not wearing shoes.
"I need help getting my dress off, I was hoping to find Lar to help me." I looked down the hall hoping to catch a glimpse of his red hat.
"He's busy hermosa, I can help you." Alex offers.
'hmmmm....' "Okay, thank you." I go back in the room and lift my hair so he can undo the cloth covered buttons. There are so many buttons too. The lights are are looking weird and I feel a little fuzzy and warm. It's probably the drinks and the dress. I lift my hair up higher with both hands elbows up and out slightly stretching as I do.
"Damn hermosa, are you trying to seduce me with that glorious sight. I think you should know it's working." He chuckled.
Looking over my shoulder, the words just slip out of my mouth "Why are you wanting to be seduced?" I ask in a husky, soft voice.
Alex hums as he walks up slowly and starts to unbutton the dress. I can feel his soft touch and his cologne smells divine. Almost intoxicating. Why didn't I notice it earlier?
I can feel him lean forward and he takes a deep breath smelling me, breathing in the scent of my hair. It sends chills down my body as his breath caresses the nape of my neck. My senses feel so elevated right now, I'm aware only of the him and I, our bodies so close.
"You know you don't have to try hermosa. You stole my heart the second you walked through the doors at my place."
He whispers it quietly and my mind feels warm and fuzzy at the memory of the way his eyes had not left her the second he noticed her walking in the room that day.
"The more I look at you the more I want to worship you."
"Is that so?" Confident and intrigued by his words, I let my hair start to fall down back over my shoulders.
He's now at the buttons near my waist. Still taking his time, his fingers barely caressing the skin lightly sending sparks like electricity that tingle through my body, making my senses go into overdrive.
Why did I never notice how good this man smelled? I take another intoxicating sniff of the air.
"You smell something good, hermosa?" He rolls the vowels slowly over my exposed skin on my back and I notice that my legs are tingling and I'm getting wet. The teasing of my senses is becoming unbearable.
"I do." I gasp as he runs a finger nail softly down my spine. It sends shudders down through me making sigh.
He gets to the last button, just above my tailbone and whispers, "You're free from the dress now."
Alluringly I look over my shoulder, "That's funny cause it's still on me." I can feel my flirtatious smile and heavy lidded eyes flutter as our eyes meet.
Alex breath catches making him pause before he carefully slides his hands under the fabric to slide the dress off my shoulders without damaging the delicate lace on top. His hands firmly press into my shoulders, gently massaging them as he moves himself closer to me.
His head lowers to my skin, his long hair tickling the nape of my neck as he kisses my skin with the softest lips. I smile relishing this titillating experience that he handled with great finesse.
His lips caress while his hands begin to worship my bare skin as the dress begins to slip and falls off my shoulders to the floor. I can't contain the moan that escapes my lips as everywhere he touches is suddenly alive like never before. His hands are not rushed and as he caresses my sides tickling just enough to make me twitch I spread my feet to gain better balance but the dress still contains me to this spot.
Sensing the issue he doesn't miss a beat.
He puts his hand under my elbows from behind and helps me step out of the dress that's down around my legs.
I'm in just my black lace boy short underwear now and nothing else. Alex runs his hands down from my arms slowly as if memorizing the curves of my body to my hips. I can tell by the way he's breathing he's barely containing him self. I lean back against him rolling and arching my back and hips slightly for comfort. I can tell he's aroused, there is no hiding it. I smile confidently as I place my hands on his allowing him to touch me more.
My skin feels amazing as he touches it and craves to just be touched more. He lets me move his hands over me. My stomach, my sides, my breasts.
"mmmm....." I hum as he gently massages them. Oh I need more.
Alex's breath becomes hitched and deeper as I turn to face him unashamed and undo his shirt.
Slowly at first, staring into his eyes, until suddenly I just give both sides a quick tug apart making them pop open to reveal his well sculpted physique. I take another deep breath and relax with his manly scent filling my lungs.
I lean forward and lightly press my lips against his and he tenses for a mere second before embracing me and returning a deep, slow and sensual kiss. My hands on his chest our bodies pressed together.
He pauses our kiss and looks at me deeper meaning in his eyes, questioning almost. I genuinely smile feeling absolutely euphoric.
He bends sliding an arm under my knees and picking me up to carry me over to the bed still kissing me my lips until he gently lays me down.
He is a handsome creature looking down at me with his shoulder length wavy black hair falling around his face. That face that says I want you, I need you.
I lay there an open invite, enticing him with my eyes. I feel the need to be touched some more wash over me. Since he's still looking at me, I run my hands from my hair down my neck and circling my chest before dragging my index between my breasts to trail down my stomach.
He watches me, hunger building in his eyes, as I slide my hand farther down. I slide it across the top of my underwear. I make a little sound sliding over my lace covered pubic mound, I'm such a tease, I'm teasing myself too. I run my hand back up to rest back by my face. My lips part in angst as I bite my bottom lip in anticipation of his next move.
"Mi diosa." Eyes closing he shakes his head in bittersweet agony. As he takes his shirt off his body I sit up and watch infatuated with the view.
He steps forward and I grab on to his belt and slowly pull it off and drop it. It clinks as it hits the floor. I started to undo the button of his pants needing more when his hands grabbed mine.
He shook his finger and clicked his tongue gesturing no.
He laid me back down and crawled over me coming down to kiss my lips this time as if my kiss could quench his never ending thirst. I moan against the friction of our bodies starting to rub against one another. Our bodies tightly intertwined, the need for more release is building in me.
My mind was overwhelmed with the senses building the desire to feel him touching me and kissing me. As our lips parted and he began to run his hand down my body, my breath was getting heavier.
Then as he gripped my sensitive warm sex, feeling my warm, soaking wetness through the lace he groans,
"Oh dios mio."
I'm breathless from just that single touch, "Please. Por favor damelo." (please give it to me.)
The words slip so easily from my mouth as I begin to gyrate my hips to feel the friction of his touch again.
He cups me through the fabric letting me move my hips as he matches the rhythm. He lowers his mouth to my breast licking and suckling at it.
"Oh..." I groan as if I may burst if this keeps up at this pace. I move my hips faster in demanding urgency.
He gently bites my nipple pulling it between his teeth making it taut and perky.
I moan out, "oh John."
........
It's like my head clears instantly and I realize what the fuck am I doing?
He pauses feeling my sudden tension. Using the opportunity I pull away and get up and go into the bathroom.
What the fuck was I doing?
Why is my head so foggy?!
I wrap my self up in a towel and feel like shit.
I wasn't even drunk? What the hell just happened?
There's a slight knock on the door, "Mija?" It's Lar?
"Yes?" I ask trying to clear my head still.
"May I come in?"
I wait not sure and finally say yeah.
"Mija... What happened? I came to help you undress and saw Alex very confused and upset looking huff into his room." He came closer and saw me wrapped in a towel clutching my head and holding my self close.
"Mija..." Lar stepped slowly toward me and tentatively put his hand out to place it on my shoulder.
"Mija, did Alex do something to you?"
I started to sob and Lars grip tightened on me and he started to growl.
He sniffed the air and stopped sniffing again. "Why do I smell more than just Pheromones?" he muttered.
Leaning closer he took another sniff at the air and shook his head.
"Mija please answer me. What did Alex do?" He took my face in his hands and made me look at him.
"Nothing, I just asked him to help me get the buttons undone on my dress and the next thing I know he smelled so good and then one thing after another. I'm on the bed and we're touching and kissing."
Then I ... I said .... I said Johns name and it snapped me out of it. I ran in here and tried to clear my head. It's starting to hurt bad. I don't feel very good."
"He didn't do anything mija?" he asks me again.
"No, not anything I didn't invite." My head was starting to reel and make me dizzy. Lar held me for a moment before feeling the heat of my head and he took a deep sniff of me.
"Shit." He mutters.
He yelled for Alex to come now. I'm starting to tremble as he walks in and looks me over in frustration, but quickly became concern as he sees my state.
"What the hell? I didn't do anything to her, Lar, she was fine then I helped her to get undressed and she invited me to her, she came on to me."
"Shut the hell up, Alex. Pick her up and put her in the bed and go get Farel, someone gave her liquid ecstasy and pheromones. I can smell it really bad in her sweat."
Alex swoops me up and puts me on the bed as the lights are moving even more strange then before and I start to laugh a little. Still shaking, my head aching from the thump of my blood going through my brain.
'oh shit, I'm going to die, in front of them and then they'll know my damn secret.'
I go to get up and lock myself back in the bathroom but can't move.
"Mija, do not move. Your blood pressure is too high, you will have..."
"A stroke." I mumble knowing what he was going to say.
Farel and Alex came rushing in, Feral had a bag with him and he opened it up to grab a blue glass bottle and opened it to pour some into my mouth. It was vile and made me want to vomit it right up, but Farel put his hand over my mouth and nose.
"You have to swallow this." He said and my body retched and swallowed, then started to retch again but I was able to hold it down.
"Alex trash can." Farel gestured and Alex was quick to hand one as Farel and Lar held my head up and over the trash and began to violently empty every thing from my liver up. Alex grabbed a towel and glass of water and handed them to me when I was finally done.
I was so tired.
Farel gave a fierce look to Alex. Alex was quick to defend, "Damn it Primo, Yes, I like her. BUT I DID NOT DRUG HER!" He got angry at the two of them looking at him so accusingly.
"Then find out who did." Farel who had the towel from wiping my face off threw it at him before turning to me and helping Lar put me under the covers.
"Don't worry Mija, you can stay here and rest. Don't worry about tomorrow. We will find someone else to do it. You can just rest." Lar croons like a little auntie worried over a sick child.
Alex turns to leave and I say as clearly as I can, "I believe you, Alex." He pauses looks back for a second frustration still fills his face and a sense of longing flashes through his eyes before he turns and leaves.
Farel and Lar both keep checking my pulse and temperature, asking me questions about the evening telling me just to answer if I can.
I fall asleep for a little while, it's still night at least when Alex comes back in and turns my T.V. on and casts a surveillance video to it. We see Celeste that stuck up whore pouring something quickly into my drink while I had set it down to shake hands with a designer. She was quick but it was clear as day what she did even to the people around me who smirked and had not said anything,
"Go get Celeste, please, Alex. I believe I have finished putting up with her antics. It's time she reaped what she sowed." Farel orders as calm as a field after a blizzard.
But the blizzard was yet to hit.
