Preface

Jenny Mae had it all. She was a bright and creative entrepreneur who had also been blessed with super model-like beauty. All her life she had used this combination of brains and sex appeal to glide through anything……you name it. She had often manipulated and molded most of the men in her life to get her what she wanted. Her striking figure and unforgettable beautiful facial features often made her competitors misjudge her as some large-breasted bimbo and she let them. This was all part of her strength in the business world and she used it to her advantage constantly. Once the old boy network made this unfortunate assessment of her, she used her superior intellect and strategic positioning skills to crush them.

As she leaned on the railing that overlooked Miami Beach where she lived now, she thought back on all her successes…..regardless of how they had come to her…..a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do…….and wondered if this last plan—this last wild, desperate plan that she was about to launch would add to her long list of successes or would it be the end of the line for her…..right now she felt like it could go either way. The breeze from the ocean blew her long, shining deep auburn hair off her soft shoulders and behind her as she spun the ice cubes in her bourbon. The breeze was not cold….certainly not at this time of year….but her nipples grew stiff with the wind as it passed by her. Perhaps it was partly the wind and partly her nerves…….probably mostly the latter.

Her thin, nearly see-through robe blew back as well, exposing her full breasts and long, lean frame as she took another long draw from the Knob Creek in her glass. She leaned her head back to feel the long, slow burn of the liquor all the way down her swan-like throat, letting her thin robe blow off her shoulders, leaving her naked skin exposed to the night air. Her mind was elsewhere for sure, but she hardly cared about her nudity as her penthouse condo towered far above any neighboring units. This was her special place to come when she needed to think….really think…..and tonight she needed the bourbon, too.

After a few more minutes, Jenny tossed back the last few ounces of the dark liquid and let the trailing dregs of water left in the glass trail down her chin and through her significant cleavage and onto her tight abdomen. She had made her decision and now knew there was no turning back……no matter what happened next. As she set the empty glass on the table on the small balcony, she stood straight to feel the tender hands of her lover peel off her robe and deposit it on the floor as warm hands and fingers found her breasts and gently played with her hard nipples. The touch was accompanied by a very erotic kiss to the nape of her neck and then in her ear that her partner knew she could not resist. Once she felt a hand reach to her now very moist crotch, she gave in and retuned inside.

Tomorrow would come soon enough and tonight she would just push it all away and feel all the pleasures that she come to know well from her lover……at least for a few hours, Jenny would not have a care in the world………

Chapter 1

After Jenny graduated from Wharton, the recruiters came one after another to persuade her to join their firms. They had been in construction and mining and real estate and even a few Wall Street boys had come sniffing around. Jenny knew her brains would help her move as far up the ladder as she wanted to go with any of them, but she was also not so foolish as to ignore what was really drawing in the men. Jenny had been a late bloomer physically, but as an undergraduate at NYU, her body caught fire and before she knew it she had a body enviable by most women and desirous by most men.

Her small high school chest blossomed to a full 38 inches by the time she was a junior and this development in combination with her naturally flowing auburn hair and her overpowering smile made her unforgettable to most everyone. Jenny had long, toned legs, a thin waist adorned with the flat stomach of a prime athlete and she realized early on that she could use her attributes to her advantage. It was not that she needed help academically at NYU or anywhere afterwards, but it soon became a game to her as she seduced one willing academic after another. There were also plenty of her male peers that she ran through as well……this was her very first lesson in how she could easily manipulate men to her needs and desires.

Her peers were just insignificant dalliances to her actually…..more times than not she just needed the sex for a physical release after a tough series of exams or other stresses in her college life. For Jenny, the line of available boys was endless and she would have to say despite her lack of seriousness with any of them, she had always enjoyed the ride. She had even been so ingenious as to get a couple of the more adventurous ones to join her at once to quench her curiosity of a threesome. It was wild and exciting and thrilling and the sensation of being filled in both her orifices at once was incredible, but for Jenny it was just another one of life’s experiences.

By the time Jenny graduated from NYU, she had acquired the skills she would rely on heavily to make her progression through the business world much more efficient……and certainly much more entertaining for her and her marks. After graduation, she dabbled in the financial world as well as in a high profile insurance firm for a while, but it was always real estate that drew her attention seriously. Jenny had no desire to work any longer than she had to and at the time that she came out of college, she was sure real estate was the way to make that happen.

She got an “on the job” education about business from the various men she bedded in her career to help prepare her for that move. She thought back to her “post graduate education” in New York City and smiled proudly. The CEO, Jack Wilson, of the brokerage house that had spilled everything he knew about his field—which was plenty—when Jenny smoothed her well-oiled body over him at his house in the Hamptons, as he drooled as he groped and grabbed at her slippery breasts and toned rear. He was an easy target, actually, but after she took him in her mouth night after night, he thought he was in love and she let him think so. For an older guy he was actually in very good shape and she had to admit that having him take her from behind was incredible—her first anal sex experiment and yet another lesson acquired. He had incredible staying power and it was one of the few conquests that she had had since college in which her orgasms were real—not just for show and to please her partner. It took a unique situation anymore to really make her come, but Jack seemed to be able to push her buttons well. They would often spend hours on the back porch of his secluded beach house as she rode him endlessly before he would flip her over and make her scream with pleasure. It was surprising that they never had complaints from any neighbors, Jenny thought as she let her memory spill over her, as they certainly did not make any efforts to hold back. By the time Jenny had grown tired of Jack, she had catalogued a vast library of information for her next career.

Then there were the trio of insurance guys she flitted between after she left the finance house up in Connecticut as well where her education continued. They had an unusually large core of information that she tapped into with each one individually as well as a couple times in which she talked 2 of them into some group activities. By the time Jenny had been at the insurance firm for about a year and a half she knew that she had all the background that she needed to market herself in the growing real estate investment boom that was going on in south Florida at the moment. She would miss the boys from the Connecticut firm, though……there was nothing they would not do for her and to her with just a simple request. And all she asked in return was to pick their brains and experience in the field and let them all think they were rocking her world in the bedroom. It was funny, Jenny thought……men will spill anything if they think it is foreplay.

She had no real emotional attachment to any of them, but the physical experience itself was memorable…..one of them, Chip Bangston, who was actually her favorite sexual playmate was endowed far beyond anything that she had experienced to that point in her life and she would have to admit that with Chip that her orgasms were very real. He could go for hours and loved it all, whether she was riding him like a rodeo horse or they were in any of the myriad of other alternative positions possible. Jenny recalled that there were few positions anatomically possible that she and Chip had not at least tried. They had used desks, chairs, tables, and even the occasional piece of lawn furniture. They had coupled inside and out, on beaches, in forests, in offices, elevators…..you name it. Once Chip got some instruction and guidance, especially in the oral department, he rarely failed to bring her to the shattering climaxes that the others could not. They all tried hard and meant well, but Chip’s naturally large endowment made him her favorite.

Jenny even remembered one occasion in which she had gone down on Chip in this old art deco theater down in New Haven near Yale. Sometimes she could still feel Chip’s massive member coursing in and out of her, filling her completely as she never failed to be brought to a screaming conclusion when with him. She had not gotten quite as much professionally from Chip as the others, but Chip had other skills that she relished in particular. Jenny did not, though, ever allow herself to get romantically or even emotionally involved with any of these men as she prepared herself for the future. This was a promise that she had made to herself when still an undergraduate. She figure there would be plenty of time for that later, once she had made her fortune and was really comfortable. However, that did not mean that Jenny would not sample as much as possible from the buffet table in the meantime. She adored having sex and with her looks and personality she was never without a willing and capable partner.

Chapter 2

Once Jenny had garnished all the information she thought might be necessary to get herself into the real estate investment arena, she fled Connecticut just as easily as she had her other temporary stops along the way. The development of properties in and around Miami Beach was hot and she did not want to wait until it was too late to get herself established in the field. Much like her other professional pit stops, all Jenny had to do to insert herself into the game was to set up a couple interviews based on her elite MBA background and stints in finance and insurance. Once she arrived at each potential firm, her experience and education got her in the door, but her low cut tops and short skirts or form-fitting suits allowed her to have the pick of what was being offered. Any of the opportunities would have satisfied her requirements when she arrived, but Anderson & Mellon stood out. They gotten in early and had a much larger share of the pie than the other major competitors and looking around she saw the pickings of her soon to be colleagues were vastly superior to at the other organizations.

She flashed her killer smile, and swished her way in and out of interviews, making sure that everyone saw her assets well. There were a couple places that seemed to give off the vibe that her overt sexuality and general aura would not be a good fit, so she crossed them off the list immediately. After narrowing her choices down to three potential firms, she settled on Anderson & Mellon and remained with them to this day…..for almost 8 years now, a personal record for Jenny and her ability to stay put. Her early days there were purely professional as she learned the ropes of the business….it was not intellectually challenging, but it was a new venture…...new lingo, new tactics…..and she saw this as her ticket to an early retirement on a warm and sunny beach somewhere outside the US enjoying all the fruits of her labors.

She was well received by both the men and the women….the men she knew she could wrap around her finger in time, but it was also a pleasant surprise to have the women accept her and not treat her as a threat. Granted she was one of only three female professionals in the organization, the remainder being secretaries and temps, but it was a relief based on past troubles. However, for her initial entry, she remained totally professional…..she picked out a couple of her more compelling colleagues for possible recreation at some point, but that could wait. Jenny learned quickly and soon she had a sizeable portfolio of clients that she was working with in both residential and commercial projects.

Her supervisors were duly impressed with her hard work and dedication to the organization and within her first year she was moved into a position of higher responsibility and reward. Anderson & Mellon was now for the first time considering branching out into other geographic areas since Miami was beginning to get saturated and since they already had a major share of the area, it was time to look elsewhere. Roger Anderson, the founder of the firm saw the potential in such diversification and he set his sights on some developing areas not too far away from Florida. They initially looked into a smattering of locations in both the Caribbean and Central America and with her rapid rise in the company, Jenny was in a prime position to take advantage of the organization’s new ventures. Roger knew that the time was right for this move and he brought Jenny on board his newly created committee for this venture. Not only was her success and experience going to be an asset, but he knew well that her overwhelming sexual presence would be to their advantage.

Once Jenny had established herself at Anderson & Mellon, she began to let her hair down a bit, so to speak, and word of her intermingling with the other associates had gotten back to Roger. Some bosses might have been dismissive or even appalled by her behavior, but Roger was not some bosses. From his regular golf games with a few of her colleagues, he was filled in, often in sordid detail, as the men gloated and boasted about their sexual experiences with Jenny. Boys would always be boys, Roger reckoned, and it made no difference to him what this new star of his organization did in her spare time as long as their profits kept soaring. What he did not tell his golfing companions was that he also knew of Jenny’s venture into a clandestine relationship with Adrianna, one of the other female associates. By no means did he want to cause any cracks in the fragile egos of his male associates, so he kept this little secret to himself. He was sure Jenny and Adrianna thought they had this arrangement well hidden, but as the leader of the organization, Roger made it his point to know all that was going on with his troops.

To her great surprise, Jenny found that though she had never had any type of sexual relationship with another woman, her connection with Adrianna was as electrifying and exciting as any man she had ever had. She and Adrianna had bonded early since they were vastly outnumbered by the men in the office and they had established a very solid friendship early on. Adrianna was just as sharp and bright as Jenny and had risen within Anderson & Mellon in tandem with Jenny. In addition, Adrianna had learned, as had Jenny, that her sexuality was a major weapon in her arsenal and she used it well. Adrianna was not quite as tall as the lithesome and slender Jenny, but her presence was unmistakable when she entered a room. In contrast to Jenny’s long, flowing auburn mane, Adrianna had curly blond hair that framed her beautiful face perfectly. She worked out religiously and had the body to show for it…..she was toned from head to foot and she always made it a point to dress to accentuate her physique.

On a long weekend when the two of them were wrapping up a closing for Roger with an Asian investor in a series of office buildings near Coral Gables, they crossed the line from just friends. Roger had rewarded the pair with an extended stay down in the Keys as thanks for this latest multi-million dollar infusion into the Anderson & Mellon coffers. The women found themselves lingering over their third or fourth…..or was it fifth…..rounds of Mai Tai’s on a secluded beach just outside Grassy Key as they toured the entire archipelago when Adrianna’s hand wandered to Jenny’s tiny halter that was doing an extremely poor job of concealing her large breasts.

At first, Jenny was caught off-guard and shocked but the longer Adrianna’s finger tips played over and around and just under the thin fabric of her sheer halter, the more she was aroused. They were alone on the small isolated strip of beach framed by towering palms and Jenny just relaxed and let her friend work. Her nipples responded immediately to Adrianna’s touch and she felt her pulse quicken. Before she knew it, Adrianna had slipped her halter from her breasts and was kissing and suckling at her hot, erect nipples. Jenny had never entertained any type of intimacy with another woman, but Adrianna’s touch and lips were driving her mad with desire.

As the sun began to dip behind the horizon, Adrianna slipped off her own bathing top and came to sit on Jenny’s lap, straddling her as her legs extended through the beach chair’s arms and behind Jenny. Their breasts naturally fell together as Adrianna applied the most sensual, erotic, arousing kiss that Jenny could remember in a long time. She opened her lips gently as Adrianna’s warm full lips pressed to her mouth firmly and her tongue snaked slyly into Jenny’s mouth, exploring. Jenny felt a shiver run the length of her spine and she pulled Adrianna closer to her in a passionate embrace as the two women kissed hard and deep. Jenny was not sure if it was the alcohol or something else, all she knew was that Adrianna was turning her on.

As the last shreds of light faded from the sky and the women were engulfed in darkness, Jenny stood and brought Adrianna with her, the woman’s muscular, firm legs wrapped about Jenny’s body tightly as she stood. They lay together on a large, thick towel that Adrianna had brought with them from her beachside bungalow. Jenny spun herself around, facing Adrianna’s feet and began to explore her friend’s vagina voraciously as Adrianna returned the favor. The each drove their tongues and lips deeply and thoroughly around the surfaces and into the interior of each other’s genitals as they arched their backs and writhed against each other’s bodies. Jenny could feel the rising tide of a massive orgasm begin to rush through her body moving from her crotch to her upper body and from Adrianna’s behavior she sensed the same. Jenny had had plenty of men go down on her, but nothing like this……maybe she thought briefly, it just takes another woman to really do it right. All her former and current lovers had tried their best, knowing how she loved oral sex, but there was something about Adrianna’s technique and skill that made all those efforts, however well intentioned, inadequate.

Both women trembled mightily against each other as they spasmed with pleasure, finally crying out almost at once as they both came hard. Jenny found herself slathered with Adrianna’s wetness as she withdrew from the woman and in the aftermath saw that Adrianna was still ejaculating in heavy, regular spurts. She had never seen this before and it was something to behold. Adrianna clung to her as she continued to pulsate her hips in coordination with each ejaculation. Once her response fell quiet, Jenny came to face Adrianna and saw that both women’s faces were well lubricated. Without hesitation she kissed Adrianna hard again as both tasted of themselves from each other’s face. Jenny was breathing hard as was Adrianna as they wrapped limbs and torsos about each other and relaxed.

Just as she thought they were done, Jenny felt Adrianna’s strong, slender fingers moving around her rear and down toward her saturated inner thighs as her friend began to probe around and into her. Her movements were slow and deliberate, gentle yet determined, as she felt herself quickly brought to full arousal again. Adrianna’s efforts were certainly not as filling as Chip, her former lover from Connecticut had been, but Jenny was finding herself floating away on a cloud of inebriated sexual delight. Each successive thrust of Adrianna’s fingers brought new and more intense waves of orgasm through her. Just as she felt she could no longer stand it, Adrianna slipped a finger or two….Jenny had no idea how many….gently into her anus with the aid of all the secretions that she had generated. As her friend alternated between her vagina and anus and then somehow…again Jenny had no idea and at this point really did not care…..simultaneously in both orifices, she lost clear conscious contact with the outer world as it felt like a ragged bolt of electricity had just ripped through her.

With a final shout of ecstasy, Jenny collapsed back in a heap and then groped her way to find Adrianna, clasping to her as if for life itself. Adrianna kissed her tenderly on the face and neck and throat as Jenny recovered her composure. She smoothed back Jenny’s hair that had gone into wild disarray during their encounter, rearranging the long strands of her sweaty locks so that she could see her face completely.

“ You OK?” Adrianna asked softly as she touched her soft lips to Jenny’s.

“I’m…..I ….uh……holy shit!” Jenny finally exclaimed.

Adrianna just smiled at her and continued to caress her head and face with her palm. Neither spoke right away, and the silence was broken only by the waves on the beach.

“Mind if I ask you a personal question?” Jenny said.

“After all that,” Adrianna replied, “what’s going to be too personal?”

Jenny laughed at the comment.

“And I mean no offense by this….” Jenny continued, “But are you a lesbian or was that just a spur of the moment thing?”

Adrianna smiled and looked at her friend warmly.

“Let’s say I have dabbled?” Adrianna offered “Not sure about my orientation at this point….I just love sex….and quite frankly Jen…..you are very alluring.”

Jenny blushed just a tinge.

“Your first time I am guessing?” Adrianna asked.

“Yeah…..” Jenny replied as the redness dropped from her face. “Like you I love sex, but, yes, this would be my first time with a woman.”

“So what are your thoughts?” Adrianna asked playfully.

“Honestly?” Jenny shot back, “That was like nothing I have ever experienced….even from the best of male lovers I have had…..and believe me, I have had my share.”

Adrianna laughed again. “Me, too.” She replied. “I kind of run back and forth in my tastes with men and women, but I must say I have always thought about you……ever since you came to Anderson & Mellon. I saw you were playing it cool when we first met…..with everyone, you know….so I just did too. Mind if I ask you a personal question now?”

“Shoot…..” Jenny said as she leaned on her elbows her nipples again hardening in the cool breeze off the ocean.

“And like you said earlier,” Adrianna replied, “ I mean no offense by this. In doing this job for with these men—youknow the real estate stuff—do you use your sex appeal to its highest advantage?”

“Absolutely!” Jenny shot back. “It’s very competitive and I use my strengths.”

“Thought so,” Adrianna replied, “Me, too. I thought I was picking up on that from you, but wanted to just ask you straight out, because I do too. I am amazed at how many deals my body and my allure have closed for me.”

“Ain’t it the truth!” Jenny said with a shake of her head and another laugh.

They both laughed together at that one.

“So I didn’t spook you too much?” Adrianna asked.

“To tell you the truth,” Jenny said, “At first I was not sure, but after I just relaxed and went with my feelings, it seemed very natural to me…..like what I really am, you know?”

Adrianna nodded as she listened.

“You seeing anyone serious right now?” Jenny asked.

“Not really…..” Adrianna said softly.

“Oh, Jeez…..” Jenny said, “Sorry…..didn’t mean to pry.”

“No worries….” Adrianna said, “I had a long term boyfriend before you got here but we just kind of drifted apart. Was actually one of the things that made me think about alternatives, you know.”

“He abusive?” Jenny asked with real concern in her voice.

“Oh, no, no…” Adrianna replied in a hurry, “Nothing like that at all. I think we had just gone as far as we were going to go as a couple and we both realized it. We were together about 2 years or so, though, so it was sad. He left Miami about 4 months or so later and is in Asia somewhere now. So after that, I took some time out and really looked at who I was, what I wanted, and who I was with.”

Jenny listened silently with deep concentration, shocked that Adrianna was being so open with her……another woman thing she thought.

“After a long time,” Adrianna went on, “I was not finding any real clear answers, so I just began getting myself out there again and without warning I was finding myself being drawn to women sexually for the first time in my life. Seemed bizarre initially, but the more I just, as you said, let myself relax and go with my feelings, the more right it felt. I still like sex with men, but I guess I would describe myself as weaning away from them…..”

Jenny nodded, appreciating that Adrianna felt this comfortable and open with her. It certainly had the potential to derail her career.

“Anyone at the job know?” Jenny asked hesitantly.

“Sure hope not.” Adrianna replied with a bit of nervousness in her voice. “The culture is still very male-dominated and I don’t want to jeopardize my success by making male clients think they might not have a chance with me……unfortunately it is still one of our biggest edges, you know?”

“Yes I do….” Jenny said reassuringly. “Don’t worry about me…..I know you took a real chance in confiding in me like this and I appreciate that.”

Adrianna smiled and nodded her thanks.

“Wouldn’t have opened up to you if I had a sense otherwise, Jen” Adrianna said. “The scuttlebutt in the office is that Roger knows ALL…..but if he does, he has been very open-minded about it. I am guessing with the amount of revenue that I generate for the firm that he would not jeopardize that for my sexual proclivities. Also.....I am sure he knows that blowing the lid off my relationships with women would drive away some potential clients.”

Jenny knew she was right. And if Roger knew, then she admired both his business decision and his moral decision over the whole issue.

“You seeing anyone?” Adrianna asked tentatively.

“Until tonight……” Jenny began, “Just the occasional client to close a deal and a random date here and there. I promised myself many years ago that I would not let a personal relationship hamper my professional goals. That may be a bit cold, but there it is……”

“So, what are your thoughts on what we may have leaped into here?” Adrianna asked.

“You know, it is all new and sudden,” Jenny replied, “But I am really intrigued. I am beginning to wonder if all my behavior over the years of just flitting from man to man and using them to further my career wasn’t telling me something, you know?”

Adrianna just listened.

“Sexually I have tried just about everything, but tonight…..with you?” Jenny went on, “This really seems to resonate with me right now. We have gotten to know each other pretty well in all the time we have worked together…..not like we are random strangers. I always liked you a lot Adrianna. And it seems like I caught your eye early on?”

Adrianna laughed, feeling her face redden this time.

“You did…..” Adrianna said chuckling, “Maybe it was that we are 2 of the 3 women in the office, but, yeah, I liked you as a person immediately. After that, I began considering if there might be more potential for us as more than friends, Jen. It’s embarrassing, but I am afraid lately that I have logged a lot of miles on my vibrator while thinking about you.”

They both leaned on each other as they laughed together.

“Anyway…..” Adrianna went on, “What am I supposed to do……hit on Kathy? You get a good look at her?”

Kathy was Kathy Williams, the other woman in their real estate group. Jenny laughed again with Adrianna as they both sputtered with delight.

“Oh…..Kathy.” Jenny mused out loud.“She works hard and is competent, but without being really cruel here……yeah….I get it. Shame she has to double her efforts relative to us just based on her appearance.”

“So you interested…..” Adrianna asked…..”In us?”

“Think so…..” Jenny replied as she leaned over and kissed Adrianna lightly on the mouth. “Why don’t we finish up the trip that Roger gave us…..see how it goes….and who knows?”

Adrianna nodded her eager assent and the two women gathered up their discarded clothes and the towel and headed back to Jenny’s bungalow for the night.

Chapter 3

The rest of the trip, Jenny and Adrianna travelled the length of the Keys stopping at various small towns and sampling the seafood and doing a taste comparison of most of the available bars. They enjoyed each other’s company enormously both in and out of the bed and by the time their time off was over it felt like they had known each other for years and years. Their compatibility, personally and sexually, was becoming tightly synched and they prepared for their return to Miami happy and satisfied and fully tanned. Instead of eating up a couple days driving all the way back to Miami, Adrianna suggested they dip into their own funds and grab a quick flight from Key West so that they could spend more time together.

On the flight home they discussed what would happen now. They both definitely saw themselves as a potential couple now, but they also realized that an open and overt relationship was out of the question. It was not Miami—hardly. Miami was so filled with same sex couples now that it was hardly even causing any but the most fervently religious any second thoughts. The problem they had was at work. It was not that anyone in-house would really care about them, but more their outward image and dealing with clients. One could never predict a client’s reaction to such things, but both Jenny and Adrianna and especially Roger Anderson knew the realities of letting clients in on the existence of two very hot female associates—his two most productive associates at that— that would rathersleep with women. Even if it was just a fantasy in the client’s imagination, the three of them knew the charade had to be maintained.

As the plane lifted off from Key West, Jenny and Adrianna tossed back and forth what their new living arrangements might be. As much as they both wanted to consolidate their lives as much as possible, they knew this was just not the right time. They both made way too much money to make anyone believe that they needed a roommate to get by financially, even in over-priced Miami. They also knew that no matter how hard they tried, their living together would somehow, someway leak out and pretty soon they could be losing male clients like water through a sieve. They both were confident that they could keep their professional behavior reigned in so that at least in the office there would be no questions asked or suggestions made that might snowball into trouble.

Though it would be difficult, Adrianna also suggested that they still play along with the occasional come on from office mates for the time being until they could figure out something better. It was not like either of them disliked men in general, it was just that they preferred each other more. They both had had plenty of experience in playing the game of seduction and theater when it came to overly horny clients so that could continue as usual. From her own perspective, Jenny had been using men and their hormones to her advantage for so long that it would not really be anything new. So for now, they decided to maintain their separate homes and just act as if nothing was new between them. They could each stash a supply of their own clothes and persona items at each other’s places so as not to be caught unprepared when staying over at each other’s places, but otherwise they would still maintain the façade of being single women.

They acknowledged the congratulations of their colleagues when they returned to the office, as their recent deal with the Korean conglomerate had significantly bolstered the firm’s bottom line. After all the cheering and speeches and drinks were over, Jenny and Adrianna made their way to Roger’s massive office as he closed the door. They hoped their new situation had not already reached Roger’s ears—if in fact he did know everything as was the rumor—but once the conversation began, they realized this meeting was on another topic completely. The women sat together sinking into Roger’s comfortable leather couch as he flipped off the lights and fired up his computer to show them Anderson & Mellon’s new strategy for some developments south of Miami.

He ran through the slides quickly and efficiently as he knew both Jenny and Adrianna were quick students. The presentation was a mix of the history of the firm’s successes in the area, marketing plans, financial overviews, and what could be gained from investing in Anderson & Mellon’s new plans for expansion. They were dually impressed with Roger’s show—one thing about Roger…..he was the consummate salesman—and they smiled in anticipation of what was next, though neither knew specifically what that might be. Roger Anderson was also the consummate spellbinder. Roger flipped the lights to his office back on and put the computer in sleep mode as he leaned back in his chair and seemed to be evaluating his top earners.

Finally, even the master himself could stand it no longer and he let them in on the project itself. Roger Anderson and his partner Paul Mellon had spent the last year or so poking around with contacts they had in some of the smaller islands in the Caribbean as well as Nicaragua and Costa Rica as they contemplated moving far beyond the borders of Miami.

“Paul and I have looked this thing over as closely as we can,” Roger began, “and in all of the areas that I showed you in the presentation, there are vast opportunities. We are early movers on this and we think with a little luck and our timing and our assets here that we can’t afford to pass this move up.”

Both Jenny and Adrianna sat silently as Roger spoke, but inside they were buzzing with excitement and anticipation. Roger had rarely displayed this type of eagerness in all the time they had been with him.

“However,” he continued, “as both of you are well aware, with great opportunity, comes great risk. You two have compiled results in the last year or so that…..well quite frankly…..Jenny…Adrianna….they have shocked me…..and in a very pleasant way. Anderson & Mellon has been very fortunate over the years to have had the great successes that we have achieved. And what you two have brought to us since your arrival here has been stunning. The recent economic downturn crushed a few of our more serious competitors, but what you two have produced in that time has kept us afloat. Actually more than afloat. Jenny…..Adrianna….because of your efforts and dedication and hard work, Anderson & Mellon has thrived in a tough environment. In all honesty, ladies…..right now you are primarily responsible for where we are today.”

Jenny and Adrianna, even though they already knew this for fact, were pleasantly surprised by Roger’s outpouring of praise. It was historically known that although Roger was generous and magnanimous in his treatment of his staff, he rarely if ever heaped this kind of acknowledgement on anyone. Both Jenny and Adrianna thanked him profusely thinking he had made this private so as not to embarrass or demean anything that the other associates were doing. No one was dead wood here, it was just that Jenny and Adrianna stood out. They prepared themselves for more on the new expansion plans as Paul Mellon joined them in Roger’s office.

“You fill them in yet?” Paul asked as he closed the door quietly behind him. “They accept?”

“Just getting to that,” Roger said with slight irritation as Paul leaned against the wall in his typical pose.

Now Jenny and Adrianna were lost……“fill them in?”…… “accept what?” Jenny thought as she shot Adrianna a quick glance out of the corner of her eye. Adrianna was apparently just as baffled.

“Based on your successes here and what Paul and I want to do in terms of branching out our overall efforts,” Roger said, “we want to offer both of you junior partner positions.”

The silence in the room was as loud as anything Jenny had ever heard. They could not be serious, could they?In the history of Anderson & Mellon, there had never been any associate, male or female, that had been offered the opportunity to become a partner. Jenny again hazarded a glance toward Adrianna and despite her cool exterior, Jenny knew she must be as stunned as she was.

“Jenny….Adrianna…..” Roger prompted, “You still with us here?”

“Sure, Roger…..” Jenny finally stammered, “just caught us by surprise, I think…..Adrianna?”

Adrianna just nodded her agreement.

“With your….how should I put this…..” Roger went on, “your…… ‘special skills’…..Paul and I feel that you will be vital to our success in this new venture. That plus your business and marketing skills that is……no offense meant.”

“None taken…..” Adrianna replied as she looked at Jenny and they both smiled, knowing exactly what Roger was referring to. “Right, Jen?”

“Absolutely….” Jenny chimed in. Roger knew very well that he might be required to call up on both of them to “sweeten the pot” with potential clients as this thing moved ahead; at least he was polite enough not to come out and say it verbatim. It also seemed to point to the fact that their new relationship had not yet reached Roger’s ears through any of the moles within his network.

“So….” Paul chirped up, “Are you interested?”

Adrianna shot a quick look at Jenny just to make sure they were on the same page, but she hardly needed any confirmation. Jenny was just as driven for success as she was and this sure appeared to be their ticket to that goal.

“Like to hear more about the details,” Jenny added, “but I guess you could say we are.”

Paul chuckled to himself as he joined Roger as his partner stood up and they both shook the women’s hands warmly. Roger went on in some detail laying out all the financial details and legal obligations that a partnership with Anderson & Mellon would involve before he got down to the real meat of what they wanted Jenny and Adrianna to tackle. He explained that as partners they would also take on the responsibility of independently bringing in more business to the firm, and would also be compensated adequately for these efforts. It would also to require them to invest in the firm……they were no longer employees, but business partners with Roger and Paul.

After all the specifics were explained and made clear, Jenny and Adrianna quickly agreed to the terms and as soon as the formality of some legal paperwork was completed, they would be, Roger explained, partners. Due to the wording of the organization’s charter and the desires of the board of directors, they would not be full partners…..that is the firm would still be known as Anderson & Mellon. If their performance was good….and both Roger and Paul had no reason to believe it would not be…..then they could sit down and discuss the full partnership arrangement. Neither Jenny nor Adrianna cared a whit about whether or not their names were included in the firm’s name, but they appreciated that Roger and Paul made it clear.

“As you are just getting into this new arrangement,” Paul added as he took a chair beside Roger’s desk, “and it may take you some time to get up to speed in bringing in new clients, for the time being we wanted to set you two in charge of this new expansion we are launching south of Florida. We have been looking at a number of places that we plan to eventually move into—you saw all that in Roger’s slideshow—but our immediate probe will be in Costa Rica.”

Jenny and Adrianna smiled as Paul spoke and nodded with understanding as he went along.

“There are a lot of options in this area,” Paul continued, “But we feel that Costa Rica has a better infrastructure and greater political and economic stability relative to our other interests at the moment. Therefore, we want to get our feet wet there first.”

Jenny knew nothing about Costa Rica other than where it was on the map, but she was sure as they went along that she and Adrianna would get to know it well.

“We have a couple major investors in the fringes that we hope we can convince to come on board with us in this expansion,” Roger said, “And this is where you come in. We know from your previous efforts here that you will know how to deal with them. This will give us a good leg up on the project and also allow you to move ahead in your new roles as you begin to generate your own contacts; so you won’t be starting out cold, so to speak.”

Again Jenny could easily read between the lines of Roger’s carefully worded proposal and had no doubts about what he really meant. She was not overly concerned or worried about such an arrangement, as she had much experience and success in this area. However, this time there was a slight blip…..when she had thrown herself into these situations in the past, she had been on her own with no visible or invisible distractions…..just get the client, no matter what it took. This time, though, she was involved. This sudden relationship with Adrianna might make this trickier. Despite what she had promised herself all along, Jenny knew that for the first time in her adult life that she might actually be in falling in love. She knew that she and Adrianna were early along in their relationship, but it sure felt different……not like all the men in the past that she had just manipulated for her own needs and then walked away from. No doubt they would need to talk.

“So here are the clients…..” Roger added as he handed each of them a single sheet of paper.

On Jenny’s sheet was the name: Arnold Dickerson. On Adrianna’s sheet was the name: Gerald Morten. The addresses and phone numbers were local. Neither Jenny nor Adrianna recognized either name, but Roger and Paul filled them in quickly. Both Arnold and Gerald were long time acquaintances of Anderson & Mellon. They had done minor deals with Paul early on in the timeline of the company and Roger had given them significant leeway financially when he and Paul were just getting started. The discount was made based on a gentleman’s agreement that they be open to anything really big that might come up as Roger and Paul moved ahead. Both Arnold and Gerald had done well—very well—with their initial investments and were now ready to hear what Roger and Paul had in mind.

Then it hit Adrianna like a brick between the eyes.

“You mean THE Dickerson and Morten?” Adrianna asked. “Of the Dickerson and Morten Enterprises up in Boca Raton?”

“That’s them!” Roger said.

Jenny knew the names now……it had not registered with her immediately either when she had looked at the names on the papers, but now it did. Arnold Dickerson and Gerald Morten were responsible for about half, if not more, of the more elite condo sprawl that had begun to envelop the high end residential area of Boca.

“Go ahead and get in touch with them,” Paul said. “We have reached out to them and given them a brief overview; told them our new partners would be in touch to fill them in completely.”

“Never thought we would turn you down, huh?” Jenny asked with a sly smile on her lips.

“Not really……” Roger added. “You could have, I guess. Then Paul and I would have just dealt with them ourselves. But knowing the both you for all this time now…..your drive…..your keen minds…..it was a pretty safe bet.”

All four of them laughed quietly as Jenny realized that neither she nor Adrianna must hide much when it came to their professional lives. They stood to take their leave and get started on this new chapter in their lives with Anderson & Mellon, and Roger and Paul welcomed them aboard again, letting them know that any help they needed was at their disposal. Both Jenny and Adrianna left the partners’ office with poker faces……just another meeting was the image they were trying desperately to convey…..and left the building quietly as they went down the block to have lunch and ponder what they had just fallen into.

“You in as much shock as I am?” Adrianna asked as she sipped from her iced tea as she and Jenny settled into a comfortably shaded, well-secluded veranda of a local café that they frequented.

“At least…..” Jenny replied. She was in fact…..the glass of seltzer in her hand quavered a bit as she brought the perspiring glass to her lips.

“I have a suggestion….” Adrianna said as the waiter left with their order.

“Yes?” Jenny asked.

“Think we should pool our brains and resources and come up with a good plan of attack for these guys,” Adrianna said. “Seems like this is really the big time, now…..not sure I am ready to tackle big fish like this solo yet.”

“OK….” Jenny replied. “Want to figure this out today and contact them first thing tomorrow morning?”

“Sounds good…..thanks.” Adrianna said as she set her drink down. “But tonight? Think maybe we deserve a celebration?”

Jenny returned her lover’s smile before she was again caught off-guard as she felt the tips of the toes from one of Adrianna’s feet worming their way between her thighs and gently but firmly rubbing her to arousal. As she opened her thighs a bit to allow Adrianna more access, Jenny was soon wet and glad she had forgone her panties that day. She could not wait for the night and Adrianna’s real touch.

Chapter 4

Adrianna was glad they had put business before pleasure that day, because after that night with Jenny, she was not sure she would have been able to focus on work….or even get her brain to function. Just to be safe, they drove out to this place in Coconut Grove where they worked on their presentation and then spent the night together……probably was not necessary, Jenny thought, but they still wanted to take every precaution. Between the two of them they were sure they had an approach that would be well received with the condo Barons. With great relief and confidence, they retired to the bedroom suite with several bottles of champagne and toasted each other’s success, their new relationship, and their seemingly unlimited bright future together. In retrospect, neither of them could have foreseen what was coming down the pike for them, but at the moment all either cared about was being together as they explored every aspect of each other’s bodies into the wee hours of the morning.

Fortunately, Dickerson and Morten had been tied up with other obligations until after lunch the next day, so Jenny and Adrianna had time to fine tune their approach…..and to recover from what was the most erotic night of sex that Jenny had ever experienced. Adrianna drove them north to Boca to meet with the potential new investors as Jenny looked over the details of their proposal. The day was bright and sunny, with no wind to speak of and the new partners were flying high on waves of optimism, confidence, and post-coital bliss as the wind from the drive blew their hair back in Adrianna’s convertible. Jenny pulled back Adrianna’s skirt so that she could lay her palm on the bare skin of her lover’s upper thigh as they drove and Adrianna covered Jenny’s hand with her own.

They were ushered in to one of the conference rooms of Dickerson and Morten Enterprises and offered some water or coffee as they waited for the two men. After a few minutes two older, but trim and attractive men in polo shirts and khakis arrived and introduced themselves. They were polite and professional and to the women’s great surprise and relief after the fact, did not leer at them in the manner they had prepared themselves for. Certainly the two took them in as extraordinarily attractive women, but that was about it. Jenny took the lead as the three others sat around a large oak table and went through the presentation that she and Adrianna had adapted from Roger.

The men nodded and took a few notes as she progressed and Jenny sat calmly after her presentation, taking a long swig of the bottled water she had been offered. Basically, Roger and Paul were proposing a large resort complex just outside Puntarenas. Puntarenas was very undeveloped at the time, on the Pacific side of the country which was less vulnerable to damage from tropical storms, and from research that Roger and Paul had done primed for a tourist explosion from the US. Dickerson and Morten nodded and agreed with all these basic underlying ideas and were very impressed with Jenny’s presentation as well as the potential financial gains to them as early investors.

They began to ask more questions of the two new partners as the delved deeper into the proposed new development, all of which either Jenny or Adrianna fielded with great skill and poise. By the time their meeting was over, Dickerson and Morten were on board. They would talk to their board of directors and some other key legal people, but barring any unforeseen issues, they were ready to dive in. They thanked the women for their time and walked them to the front door. Jenny and Adrianna jumped back in the car and floating on clouds headed back to Miami to fill in Roger and Paul. On the ride back, Jenny’s hand rode a bit higher on Adrianna’s thigh as her fingers wandered south this time. Adrianna massaged the back of Jenny’s neck with her strong hand as she let her lover play. Soon Adrianna was very wet and pleasantly rippling with tiny waves of passion.

By the time they had arrived back at the office, Roger and Paul had already heard from their old business associates in Boca. Arnold and Gerald had issued an initial promissory note for $750 million with the promise of a follow up of an additional $750 million as soon as they had all their legal beagles sift through the details. To say the least, Roger and Paul were ecstatic….they had not known when they could get going on this project due to the enormous start-up costs that would be required……had no idea where that was going to come from. But…..once again Jenny and Adrianna had come through for them and they would soon be off and running.

Roger and Paul offered to treat the women to dinner as a thank you, but they politely begged off using the long day and the stress of their first major solo deal as an excuse. Roger and Paul said they understood and that they would see them in the morning in order to keep them in the loop of the new project. They were tired from the day, but Adrianna and Jenny had other plans for a celebration. They returned to Adrianna’s Audi and set a course for Jenny’s condo that overlooked the Miami Beach harbor. After today, they were no longer so concerned with appearances and who might know or find out about them. They had just scored the biggest windfall of their careers and Anderson & Mellon was now their oyster. As evening fell and Adrianna gunned her car out of the parking lot and toward the beach, Jenny leaned over and ran her tongue around the rim of Adrianna’s ear as she slipped her hand under her lover’s blouse and undid her bra.

Fortunately it was a short drive to Jenny’s place and Adrianna was able to control the car for the entire trip. She drifted into the parking garage and doused the headlights of the tiny red sportster as Jenny got more and more persistent. Adrianna took a quick look around and just in the nick of time saw that the elevator was opening and a large group was exiting nearby. If not for that, she most likely would have given in to temptation. Even through her blinding lust, Jenny also heard the commotion of the opening elevator doors and she jerked her head around realizing where they were. Adrianna collected her bra and stuffed it in her pocket quickly as she buttoned herself up and smoothed down her skirt. Jenny, just a slight bit red, recovered herself and joined Adrianna in a good laugh as the group passed them by, totally unaware of what they had almost stumbled upon.

Jenny and Adrianna slunk into the elevator and giggled under their breath as it rose quickly to the 35th floor where Jenny lived. Jenny struggled with her key as her laughter shook her hand, but finally she unlocked the door and they fled into her condo. The women quickly shed their clothes, leaving a random trail of garments from the front door all through the apartment. Adrianna tackled Jenny once they were in the bedroom and the two naked, highly aroused, very horny women were at each other immediately. There was a flurry of activity as they transitioned from one position and technique to another. In one brief respite, Jenny retrieved a few of her dildos and vibrators and added these to the mix as well, before they finally topped off their revelry with an oral encore.

Adrianna finally regained herself and wandered into the shower as Jenny laid prostrate and seemingly unconscious across the huge king size bed, the covers torn away and tossed about as if by a storm. She stood under the hot spray and let the penetrating warmth of the water wash away the day’s stress as well as the comingling of their sweat and secretions. As she dipped her head to her chest and let the water begin to sooth her stiff neck muscles, she was thrown back into a wave of sensation as she felt her breasts groped and nipples gently massaged. With the erotic wave brought on by the soapy hands that were all over her chest, she gasped in utter surprise as Jenny’s hard and sticky body pressed into her back and the largest dildo she had ever known was finding its way into her from behind.

Apparently Jenny was not as out of it as she had appeared, Adrianna felt as her nipples harden and stand fully erect as Jenny rocked her hips back and forth pushing the dildo further and further into Adrianna, courtesy of a strap-on device that Jenny had hooked up to herself. Adrianna gripped the empty towel rack with all her strength as the thrusts came harder and harder now and in faster motions. Jenny had her jammed up against the wall of the shower in the corner as she pumped away. Rather than feeling trapped or accosted, Adrianna was finding herself turned on like never before and soon she was screaming with pleasure as Jenny brought her to a climax that left her completely spent. Even after the thrusting was over and they had crumpled to the shower floor, the hot steaming water pouring over both of their intertwined bodies, Adrianna still rippled with lingering spasms of her many orgasms. Jenny gently withdrew from her lover, drew a hot bath and joined Adrianna as they soaked together in a thick sudsy mass.

Adrianna awoke the next morning not really remembering how she had gotten into bed. The last thing she could recall was lying in the crook of Jenny’s long, soft, naked, soapy body as the sweet aroma of jasmine and rosemary filled her nostrils. Jenny had, apparently, gotten her out of the tub and into bed……she was sure she must have been awake and aware at the time, but now it was not coming to her at all. The first rays of the Miami day were piercing the window nearby as she lay wrapped around Jenny……just a mass of tangled and intermeshed body parts, but oh, so very comforting. She kissed Jenny tenderly on the neck and all she got was a murmur of pleasure in return. They were both wrung out from their most recent celebration.

About 8am, Jenny’s land line rang. It was a wake up service that she had arranged for in case they did not respond to Jenny’s alarm, which they had not. Jenny clicked off the phone and rolled over to face Adrianna. Jenny kissed her several times fully and wetly on the mouth and Adrianna suddenly felt lost in her kiss. Much like Jenny, Adrianna, other than her one long term boyfriend, had not really been in love either, but right now she sure thought this might be the real thing.

“Need to get moving, Jen.” Adrianna whispered into her lover’s ear as she kissed her there lightly. “Meeting with Roger, et al.”

“Oh shit!” Jenny replied. “Almost forgot……the follow-up to our deal.”

Reluctantly, Jenny peeled herself from Adrianna’s embrace and sat on the edge of the bed and stretched her arms high over her head. She raced through the shower so that Adrianna could get a quick one as well and soon they were on the road and pulling back into the lot at the office. Roger had strong coffee waiting for them as they all went over the paperwork that had been messengered over from Arnold and Gerald’s firm. All was in order and Roger smiled as he called in one of his assistants to complete the electronic transfer of funds to their accounts. The follow-up funds, Dickerson had explained, would be available in early 2008—something about rearranging some things on their end.

The first investment, though, was more than enough to get the project rolling and Jenny and Adrianna set off to begin their own prospecting for new investors so that the success that they had experienced with the Costa Rica project would be just the first of many for them. As far as they were concerned, their part of whatever was to happen in Puntarena was over. They would certainly benefit from the new development, but what they were there for was to bring in the funds…..not to make the development a reality. They each headed off to their respective offices to begin beating the bushes for potential new investors.

“See you for lunch?” Adrianna asked.

“Probably…..” Jenny replied with a wink. “Depends on the day, I guess.”

With that, Adrianna disappeared into her office, closed the door and Jenny continued on down the hall to her own space. She leafed absent-mindedly through her computer files of potential new investors, her mind still awash with thoughts and smells and tastes of Adrianna. What had happened to her, she wondered? All those men over the years and then a few days—wonderfully incredible days, mind you—with this woman and she was wondering what had happened to her strict rule of no attachments….no involvements……Adrianna had just kind of hit her like a hurricane. Since she had never considered the possibility of a sexual relationship with another woman, she guessed she had just let her guard down. Whatever the situation, Jenny was hopelessly in love with Adrianna……or at least in some serious lust, she mused as she laughed to herself.

She shook off the moment and tuned her attention to her computer again with more focus. Jenny’s list of contacts was not large, but she was sure that would change soon. Once she could prospect with the Costa Rica project in her portfolio, she was sure her list would balloon. No one in her current list seemed to have the financial status that she and Adrianna would need for international expansion of Anderson & Mellon, so she quickly opened her e-mail just to make sure there was nothing pressing. Most of her mail, at least the non-spam mail, was just routine stuff…..few notes from former colleagues—mostly the ones she had bedded and forgotten—a belated birthday e-card from Chip Bangston…..evenif late, he never forgot completely, and some electronic journals from various organizations she subscribed to in order to keep abreast of current competition.

She was about to kill her computer and see if Adrianna wanted to get lunch when she spotted a 2nd message from Chip……just the cryptic heading: “heard you’re looking for investors”. It was curious…..she and Chip had stayed in superficial touch over the years—that huge member of his was hard to forget—and he knew of her involvement here in Florida and that she was a key player for the firm in bringing in new investors. She leaned back in her seat and opened the message. Chip was doing very well, apparently, now that he had migrated, much like her into real estate development. Chip however, had taken the plunge and was in Monaco doing extremely high end stuff all over the south of France. She skimmed through a lot of the text until she came to what stopped her cold. Chip had been working with this hideously wealthy trust-fund guy he had met in Nice. “He has billions……” caught her eye as well as Chip’s assurance that this guy was for real and that he was always looking for a new project. “He has done lots here and throughout Europe as well as the Middle East and even into Thailand.”Jenny paused as she looked this over…..Chip had always been trustworthy and reliable and she appreciated the tip. She would definitely keep this in her list: Leslie Kruger, Kruger Intl.

With that, Jenny shot Chip a quick thank you, shut down her mail and swung by Adrianna’s office to see about lunch. Adrianna had found a couple possible leads, but nothing that was really in the caliber of wealth that they were looking for. For now, Jenny thought she would keep the Leslie Kruger tip just to herself…..right now she had no idea if Chip was being accurate or not and she thought she would give her own efforts some time to pan out first. Adrianna led them to this casual pizza place that they had never tried before and they lingered over some delightful calzones and local beer as they compared notes and bounced ideas off each other for possible new strategies.

Chapter 5

About 8 or 9 months went by and the Costa Rica project was in full swing. Adrianna and Jenny had given it a lot of thought and they decided that keeping 2 places in expensive Miami was wasteful, despite that they might be found out and it might affect their careers. After the deal with Arnold and Gerald, their status had risen considerably at work and they finally just said the hell with it. In 2007, the real estate market in Miami was at its peak and Jenny and Adrianna sold their condos in downtown Miami and pooled their funds to buy this incredible luxury penthouse that sat on the peninsula of Miami Beach. The area was much more liberal in terms of their relationship and by this time they no longer cared what the office gossips said or did.

The views were incredible, the beach was right out the front door, and they were still an easy commute into the office, though Roger and Paul told them they could work from wherever they chose based on what they were generating. Adrianna suggested they set up a home office, but Jenny convinced her that their professional and personal lives needed to be separate and in the end Adrianna agreed.

“Besides,” Jenny had added, “How do we get anything done if there is the option to screw each other’s brains out all day?”

Adrianna laughed at how she had framed this, but she knew Jenny was right. Things could not have been going any better for them professionally and personally…….Adrianna was as happy as she had ever been…..Jenny, too. Jenny had never thought it possible, but she was finally in a relationship where she had a sexual and intellectual equal. She did not know about Adrianna, but she was loving that all it took was a look or a simple touch from her lover to make her heart beat faster and her inner thighs grow wet and sticky.

In fact, until well into 2008, neither woman could imagine anything shaking up their little world. The sex was intense and fulfilling, their work was challenging and stimulating, and the money was rolling in in waves. But 2008 did in fact arrive, and it hit home hard for Jenny and Adrianna as it had for millions of other Americans when the financial powers nearly sank the entire economy. Personally they had no real worries as their penthouse was paid off and despite the downturn in the economy, Anderson & Mellon was well enough diversified that they weathered the storm well. It was this new venture of the firm’s that hit home hard for them.

The initial funding of $750 million that had gotten the Costa Rican project up and running was drying up quickly, but Jenny and Adrianna’s relentless efforts had continued to bring in just enough money to keep the ball rolling. However, as 2008 progressed, credit got tighter and potential investors got scared. The women, in fact, had dipped into their considerable reserves as of late to make some much needed interest payments. As time went on, they saw that they were getting seriously over-leveraged and that the whole project was in jeopardy unless something miraculous happened. Roger and Paul, while still big fans of their new junior partners, were getting progressively concerned that they might lose the whole thing if this situation continued. After a few more weeks of the downward slide, they informed Jenny and Adrianna of the reality of the times.

Jenny and Adrianna knew that things were not good, but they had no idea just how dire the situation had become. By now—unbeknownst to Roger and Paul—Jenny and Adrianna had become heavily invested in the funding of the project, with several outstanding liens on their home, assuming that things would eventually turn around or that they could replenish their savings when the Costa Rican resort was operational and churning out income. The money that Jenny and Adrianna were bringing in now was primarily their own due to the world economic climate. What they also did not know, was that in addition to the steadily decreasing financial resources available, that the Costa Rican government had stepped in and had halted any further progression of the project until some “government annuities” were paid. Bribes and corruption……the two factors that Roger and Paul had vastly underestimated.

The bottom really dropped out when Dickerson and Morten phoned to inform the firm that the 2nd installment of $750 million would not be coming after all. The board had met and decided not to pour any more money into the stalled project—that they were cutting their losses and walking away. When Jenny and Adrianna got this news they felt all the blood immediately rush out of their faces. All Jenny could think of was that it was very likely that that could lose everything…..they had gone all in on this venture and now it looked like it was going belly up. The she remembered Chip Bangston and Leslie Kruger……maybe it was time to call in her favor. Seeing no other way out of the predicament they were in, she called Chip and got Kruger’s number.

She talked with Chip for a long time, explaining their desperation, before calling Kruger. Chip said to use his name as an intro……they were long time associates.

“Jen…..” Chip began, “it’s just….uh…well…..”

“What, Chip?” Jenny asked baffled by his reticence.

“Kruger…..” he went on, “He’s a handful, personally.”

“Handful?” Jenny asked.

“You know how you are in dealing with men to get your deals done?” Chip asked.

“Jeez, Chip…..” Jenny began, “I’m sorry, Chip……I never meant to hurt y….”

“No worries….” Chip said cutting her off, “I was a big boy and knew what I was getting into with you. Maybe not the most mature relationship ever, but Jen…….it was wild while it lasted and I never regretted anything with you. I knew it was only a temporary thing….that you wanted more than just a relationship with a middle-of-the-road insurance executive. What we had…..some of the greatest times of my life.”

Jenny was silent, remembering her times with Chip fondly, actually.

“It’s just…..you need to know this, Jen.” Chip went on.

“Yeah?” Jenny asked.

“Kruger……” Chip said, his voice falling in volume a bit. “Well, Jen…..to be blunt…..Kruger is the male YOU.”

“The what??” Jenny exclaimed, not sure she had understood.

“He is loaded, Jen…..” Chip continued, “I mean LOADED…..but that comes at a price, too. I am sure he will help you out……like I said, he’s always on the hunt for the next challenge financially……but, how he deals with women…..especially women as sexy as you……is just like how you were when you were back in New York and Connecticut. I don’t mean this to be mean or nasty……just a warning from an old friend, OK?”

Jenny was again silent as Chip’s admonition sank in. What was that old saying among karmic types…… “what goes around comes around……”. Jenny swallowed hard but quickly recovered and blew it off. Since when had Jenny Mae never been able to mold and manipulate any man to her will and to let them give her exactly what she wanted?Besides, she had her new lover and partner and fellow manipulative woman, Adrianna, at her beckon call now. How was this mere mortal billionaire to even stand a chance?

“Thanks, Chip…..” Jenny finally replied after a prolonged silence. “For the contact tip and the warning.I appreciate your concern, but I am sure I can handle him.”

“Just be careful, Jen……” Chip said just before he said goodbye and hung up, “Be very careful.”

*********

Jenny explained the message from her old contact in Connecticut to Adrianna and after much discussion they decided that they had no option other than to get in touch with Kruger and at least give it a shot. There was nothing on the horizon in terms of any financial influx for them at the moment, and if they could not get some quick cash somehow, they were finished. Being the more tech-savvy of the two, Adrianna did some background digging into Leslie Kruger. Sure enough, Chip’s information had been accurate…..Kruger was listed as one of the top 200 most wealthy individuals on the planet based on numerous places that kept such useless ego lists. He also was accurate in his assessment of Kruger’s character and personality, neither of which were particularly stellar.

“It may be time…..” Jenny said as she and Adrianna talked, “To pull out our old weapons and see if we can’t take this guy for a ride.”

“Seems like a pretty narcissistic jerk…..” Adrianna added as she continued to scroll through Kruger’s extensive list of financial assets as well as legal problems—mostly in terms of personal suits rather than professional. The guy seemed to be pretty up front with his finances, just had a small problem functioning as a decent human being elsewhere.

“I am thinking…..” Jenny went on, “That with his ego and lack of scruples personally, that together we should be able to easily fleece him. We can hopefully pull ourselves out of the financial hole we are in and at the same time teach Mr. Kruger a lesson……besides, with his deep pockets, he’ll never miss it.”

With this said, the two partners locked themselves in Adrianna’s office and began to formulate a plan of attack for Leslie Kruger. After a long day and most of the evening researching and planning and double and triple checking their details Jenny put in a call to Kruger from the information that she had gotten from Chip. Jenny introduced herself to Kruger using Chip as her wedge and explained that he had come highly recommended to her from an old friend as someone always interested in new real estate deals and that she was in the middle of a blockbuster opportunity that she thought he might find intriguing.

She gave him her background and experience, using an alias and a fake firm in Florida that they had invented so that any background checks would not implicate Anderson & Mellon.She then went on to lay out in some detail the fabricated story of a new hotel development in Mexico that she and Adrianna had concocted over the last 24 hrs. She had all the raw land, permits and government fees, etc. lined up and taken care of and was now looking for a few major players to join her as she began the actual development. She went on and on, doing her best to feed his ego saying that the fewer partners involved the better and that based on his reputation and standing in the field and net worth that she was sure the two of them together could make this happen. She offered him a major chunk of the proposed partnership to pull him in further and make the deal irresistible.

Jenny and Adrianna’s plan purposely left Adrianna’s name out of the discussion. For what they had in mind, they wanted Kruger to think that Jenny was the sole principal in all of this. Kruger asked her to send along the financial and design details so that he could look it all over, but that initially it sounded like something he might be interested in. Adrianna had already suspected that this request might be headed their way, so she poached some details that

Anderson & Mellon had available for another development, possibility in Nicaragua down the road, and sent them to him. All she had to do was edit the name and contact information of the Nicaraguan plans and insert the phony Mexican development that was to be based in Manzanillo. As far as Kruger knew, this Pacific Ocean locale in Mexico was the actual locale of Jenny’s proposal.

Kruger told Jenny that he was vacationing in the Bahamas at the moment, but that if the details of her development looked promising, that he could easily sail up to Miami and meet with her to discuss his possible involvement. Jenny said goodbye and said she looked forward to hearing from him. With a huge sigh of relief she hung up and accepted the energetic high five that Adrianna offered. The first step was taken care of……they had cast their bait and the fish had bit…..now all they could do was wait and pray.

They did not have to wait long. The very next day, Jenny received a call from Kruger saying he loved the ideas and that the financials all seemed good….thanks to David Bromer, Anderson & Mellon’s whiz CFO Adrianna thought. Kruger was heading north to Florida that day and expected to be there that night or the next morning at the latest and would let her know when he arrived. Jenny felt her pulse increase at the anticipation of the next phase of their plan. She knew that the details of the resort would appeal to Kruger……it was one of the highlights of Anderson & Mellon’s future plans……but she was also sure, that based on what Chip had told her and what she and Adrianna had uncovered about Kruger personally, that her bogus website, “RTO Developments”, was also to thank. Adrianna had created a totally professional and very believable but bogus web presence for Jenny which contained enough information to look real, but also featured a large photo of Jenny in one of her favorite, extremely revealing outfits. They were sure once Kruger saw this that he would be hooked.

Kruger arrived in Miami late that night and sent an e-mail to Jenny inviting her out to his boat the next day for lunch and a discussion of the Mexican resort project. Adrianna and Jenny smiled at each other and then closed up shop and headed home to get a good night’s sleep so that they would be on top of their game for the final piece of the plan. Adrianna drove them to the pier slot that Kruger had given Jenny and the two of them, both dressed in professional, but still highly revealing outfits strode down the walkway to meet Kruger. They slowed briefly as they approached his boat, a huge white and blue vessel adorned with colorful yellow and green flags. Chip had not been kidding……this guy was loaded.

A neatly dressed man in his late thirties to early forties greeted them at the top of the gangplank and welcomed them aboard. Kruger was muscled and athletic-looking, well-tanned, and shook their hands firmly as he introduced himself. Jenny introduced Adrianna as her assistant and Kruger ushered them to a large deck on the stern where place settings for lunch were already waiting. Jenny could not help ignore the penetrating ogling of Kruger as she and Adrianna moved by him and to the back of the ship……so far, pretty much what she had been expecting. They ate and talked about lots of things, but left the business of the Mexican deal out of the mix. Kruger went on in some fashion discussing a lot of his previous projects…..not over bearing boasting, but boasting all the same as far as the women were concerned. Jenny discussed the deals that had been done all over at Anderson & Mellon, presenting the façade of them being solely her own while Adrianna was outstanding as the compliant, subservient assistant.

When the meal and the small talk was done and Kruger’s staff had removed the lunch clutter, the three of them moved to deck chairs to talk business. Jenny asked for Kruger’s thoughts and suggestions and let him ramble for some time letting him think that all of his input was of interest to them.As they talked, Jenny and Adrianna made sure to make it a subtle point of gradually exposing more and more skin for Kruger’s eye. They could hardly have exposed more breast without disrobing, but the higher they inched up their skirts, the more they noticed Kruger’s attention diverted to their legs.

When all of Kruger’s questions had been answered and the conversation lagged, Jenny decided it was time to talk turkey. She handed Kruger a couple of sheets that Adrianna had worked up detailing some phony financial schedules regarding the development timetables and what they were asking of him financially to join her. Kruger glanced through the paperwork and nodded as he went and then set the paper aside.

“Looks doable.” Kruger finally said, as he increased his leering of the two women. “But for me to join this deal, I want to propose one additional item.”

“Yes?” Jenny asked innocently, but knowing in her heart full well what was coming.

“I have found the money aspect of these things to be…..boring.” Kruger continued. “I’ve got the money—we both know that—and I think this would be a great investment for me financially.”

“But?” Jenny prompted, ignoring his reminder that he was well heeled.

“But…..” Kruger went on, “I would like to get an added perk to my investment if I decide to move ahead with you.”

“Perk?” Jenny asked. This was ridiculous she thought…..everyone knew what he was talking about and where this was headed, but apparently he needed it all coaxed out slowly.

“Yes…..” Kruger said as he leaned back and smiled. On another man that smile might have been charming or disarming or maybe even alluring, but on Kruger it was reptilian-like and very, very creepy.

“This is a lot of money you are asking for,” he continued, “And I find a personal…..shall we say….‘incentive’…..a nice part of a deal involving such large sums of money and such an attractive future partner…..yes?”

“With the extent of your involvement financially,” Jenny responded, reverting to her old patterns and ploys, “I think something could be arranged in that regard.”

“Good…..good.” Kruger said.

“In fact…..” Jenny said as she flipped her hair back and slipped off her sun glasses so that she could lock Kruger’s gaze effectively, “My assistant here often makes herself available to work with me closely in these types of arrangements. Would that be enough an ‘incentive’ for us to make this partnership a reality?”

Adrianna acted a bit taken aback by this…all part of their plan of course…..while at the same time she could not help but notice that Kruger had not been ready for this suggestion. Not that he was not willing……just surprised, she thought. Adrianna gazed over at the man as well when Jenny introduced this new variable and ran the tip of her tongue around her full lips, and stroking her thigh pushing her skirt even higher up her leg, making sure that Kruger noticed her now as well.

“Ms. Oberlin…..” Kruger replied, referring to Jenny by the alias that Adrianna had created, “I think we have a deal.”

With that, Kruger went to his phone and informed his accountant that he would be initiating a new investment with RTO Development and that he should forward the funds indicated on paperwork he would be e-mailing as soon as he got off the phone according to the schedule indicated. The accountant acknowledged this directive and asked if the standard electronic transfer procedure was to be used. Kruger said that was fine. Jenny and Adrianna smiled to impress Kruger and drifted over to the bar on the deck as Kruger joined them in a toast to their future partnership. The women knew now what might be expected of them….they had both done this many times in the past……so they moved closer in to Kruger and he fondled Jenny’s rear while he drank his champagne.

The trio drank and laughed and before Jenny or Adrianna realized it, Kruger’s boat had set sail from the harbor. It had been a very subtle move on Kruger’s part and they realized that this must be a regular routine for him……his crew was well trained apparently. A shadow of dread suddenly hit Jenny in the gut as the boat moved slowly, but further and further from Miami and through Biscayne Bay and into the Atlantic. She shot Adrianna a glance as she pretended not to notice and faked a sip from her glass. Adrianna as well returned her look of concern, but at the moment there was not much either could do about it unless they wanted to risk nixing their deal. The women shook off their concerns and focused their attention on Kruger as he opened yet another bottle of Cristal. After all…..they had their money……and how many times had they been through this game before? They were both sure they could deal with Leslie Kruger.

Kruger’s yacht moved far enough off-shore that the Miami skyline was soon no longer visible as the vessel slowed and then anchored. At this point, both Jenny and Adrianna knew they had to continue what they had started. They had prepared for this possibility and talked it over completely before beginning the whole scam. It was different now that they were involved, but it was just theater……it had always been just theater with all those men.

Chapter 6

Since they were well away from shore, Jenny and Adrianna shed their blouses and bras to the delight of Kruger. Their old patterns kicked in naturally and together they slowly and deliberately unbuttoned and removed Kruger’s shirt and unbuckled his slacks. Kruger stepped gracefully out of the fallen pants as his companions discarded their skirts and now stood completely naked before him. The sight of these two incredibly sexual beings brought Kruger to attention immediately and Adrianna kneeled before him, taking him into her mouth as she worked her magic. Simultaneously Jenny came behind him and pressed her body hard into his back as she reached around and massaged his chest and shoulders and used her tongue just as effectively on Kruger’s neck and ears and throat as Adrianna was below.

Soon Kruger reached a climax and collapsed with the women as they continued their attention to him licking and suckling and kissing and rubbing him all over as he quivered and moaned. Adrianna slipped Kruger’s member inside her as he quickly regained rigor based on their efforts and sat atop the man as she thrust him in and out of her, just like in the old days she thought. Despite their new relationship, Jenny was finding herself aroused…..just sort of a reaction to old emotions she thought….and soon she was dripping. The more she thought about it the more she saw this as a combination of seeing her lover at work and her old memories of all the men she had been with. She was sure Kruger would not object, so she repositioned herself over his face and sure enough, Kruger began to explore her with his tongue and lips as she got wetter and wetter.

Kruger spasmed with a final shudder as he cried out in release while Adrianna rose high in the air atop him, but clung on tightly. Jenny could not hold back anymore and despite their play acting with Kruger, she would have to admit that the man knew how please a woman orally. As Kruger reached his orgasm, Jenny was consumed with a massive orgasm of her own and she fell away shaking and trembling. The three of them lay panting and exhausted as the sun fell away and the night sky took over.

“That the kind of perk you had in mind, Mr. Kruger?” Jenny asked as she gently stroked his once again flaccid penis with her long slender digits and took in the night sky.

“We’re getting there….” Kruger said as he reached up and suckled at Jenny’s extended nipples which grew even more erect at his touch.

Surely he was kidding, Adrianna thought as she looked in some concern toward her lover. She had assumed that they would fuck the guy a few times and then be done with him….that was how it had always worked in the past. However, she could not catch Jenny’s eyes as Kruger’s body was blocking her view. He was busy atop Jenny nibbling and biting playfully at her large nipples that now sat at full attention as Jenny moaned and squirmed under his weight. Before she could do anything else, Kruger had yet again regained his hard on and was already in Jenny thrusting hard and deep into her as Jenny gasped with each successive probe. It was too hard to watch, so Adrianna closed her eyes as Kruger continued pounding away at Jenny as she cried out repeatedly with each individual orgasm.

Adrianna did not blame Jenny for her response. They knew what they had set in motion long before they had actually begun with Kruger physically. Jenny was as experienced as she was sexually and both had been with their share of men before. Kruger was good….she had to admit it…..and now Jenny was finding that out first hand. Jenny continued to scream with successive orgasms as Kruger moved in and out of her with great skill and exertion, and Jenny wrapped her legs tight about the man’s torso in response, Adrianna felt tears fall from her eyes through her closed lids as she tried unsuccessfully to block out her lover’s cries of ecstasy.

Kruger guided the women to his large bedroom after he had exhausted himself in Jenny the last time and they all slept deeply as the boat rocked gently on the calm ocean swell. Adrianna woke just as dawn broke and looked over to see Jenny already wide awake. There was a real sense of worry in her lover’s face and eyes and Adrianna was sure the look on her own was an identical match. All she could think of was that maybe they had gotten in over their heads this time…….they were miles from land with this guy they hardly knew……they might actually be in real trouble this time.

Jenny and Adrianna’s movements had caused Kruger to stir and he excused himself to the bathroom.

“Be right back, ladies…..” he said as he slid off the bed, his huge flaccid penis swaying as he went. “Don’t go anywhere…..” This last comment was accompanied with an evil, spooky laugh.

“Christ’s sake, Jenny!” Adrianna exclaimed but quietly so as not to be overheard. “What did we get ourselves into?”

“No shit…..” Jenny whispered back. “This guy’s like a machine…..figured we were done with him after yesterday afternoon and evening.”

“Me, too…..” Adrianna replied. “You OK?”

“Think so…..” Jenny said as she stretched her stiff muscles taking inventory of her body. “Guy’s got pretty impressive stamina, huh?You alright?”

“Just sore…..” Adrianna offered. “And yeah…..his stamina is impressive. His size too…..that’s what has me worried.”

That had Jenny worried as well, but she was trying to keep it together for them. With all the men she had ever been with, she had never seen a man with this type of stamina and after Chip never thought she would encounter a larger penis……she had been wrong. They really needed Kruger’s money and there really did not seem to be any other way out of their mess without it, but Jenny was now beginning to fear that they might not live to see it.

“Any thoughts on how to get ourselves out of this mess?” Adrianna asked as she heard the toilet flush and prepared herself for Kruger’s return.

“At the moment……no.” Jenny said, her voice down and dejected. “But we better come up with something soon…..”

Kruger returned to the bed and inserted himself in between the two sticky, sweaty women as he sighed contentedly and relaxed. To keep up the scam, Jenny and Adrianna snuggled in close to him and hoped that this sailing sex clinic with Kruger was soon to be over. Unfortunately, Kruger had other ideas as he laid Adrianna’s hand on his long member and use his other to begin arousing Jenny. His long and strong fingers made Jenny wet quickly and she moaned with desire despite her best efforts to resist. Her love of sex and old habits were too hard to fight and Kruger was good. Simultaneously, Adrianna had brought his penis to life and he gently, but firmly guided her head toward his crotch. She reluctantly submitted and began to wrap her lips and tongue around the man’s huge pole. Her positioning in the bed now exposed her rear and Kruger used his now free hand to enter Adrianna from behind. This was how the morning broke for Jenny and Adrianna……with the billionaire Kruger bringing them both to orgasm with his hands while Adrianna satisfied the financier orally.

The next couple of days continued on much in the same routine as that morning had begun, with Kruger shuttling the women around between various rooms and decks of his yacht, having them join him together in all variety of positions and locations and techniques. Chip had told her to be careful with Kruger……but Jenny had no idea they would be dealing with a kidnaping and a man with an apparently insatiable libido bordering on nymphomania. Kruger occasionally took breaks as he urged Jenny and Adrianna, who he still believed to be just Jenny’s assistant, to perform for him in lesbian couplings. Little did he know this was welcome relief for the pair, as this finally allowed them to comfort each other away from his touch, but having him voyeur over them as they made love was creepy beyond comprehension.

On the evening of the third day, Kruger had moved them to a bubbling hot tub as a full moon rose high in the sky. He again plied them with alcohol as they soaked, and Jenny’s spirits sank as she heard another boat in the distance.All her wild imagination could conjure at the moment was that Kruger was now making them available for some friends. The quiet of the early evening was splintered by the sound of an approaching Zodiac. Kruger left the naked women in the water as he donned a robe and headed toward the sound of the approaching boat. Without warning they heard Kruger cry out in pain and then looked over to see his body slam to the deck. From over the side of the yacht, three men in black appeared brandishing tazers and masks to match their black garb. With real fear now, Jenny and Adrianna trembled as the leader of the group approached them slowly.

“Looking for Jenny Mae and Adrianna Welton.”, the man said evenly as he finally removed his mask.

“That’s us I guess.” Jenny said weakly, as she dreaded what might be coming next.

“It’s them!” the man shouted over his shoulder to his companions.

The remaining two men climbed aboard and peeled their masks as they approached their partner and the naked women in the hot tub. It was only with a closer look that Jenny felt relief as she spotted Chip Bangston among the trio of men.

“Chip!” Jenny cried out with relief and gratitude in her shaky voice.

“Get them out of there guys.” Chip ordered.

Jenny had not realized it, but Kruger had apparently been spiking their drinks or food or both with something as she felt dizzy and weak and shaky as she was helped to her feet by two of the black-clad men and wrapped with a plush covering. Likewise, Adrianna was lifted from the tub and eased into a chair as her unsteady legs shook with weakness.

“Chip…..” Jenny went on after she was settled and her old friend sat beside her and handed her a cup of steaming tea, “What in the world are you doing here? Who are these guys? How….why……where……” Jenny’s questions came rapid fire and without interruption, like a stammering child until Chip put his fingers to her lips to quiet her.

“Want me to fill her in, Adrianna or should you?” Chip asked as he accepted a mug of tea from one of his companions and sipped at it carefully.

“Adrianna??” Jenny exclaimed loudly, looking at her lover with an incredulous and confused look.

“I’ll take it from here, Chip.” Adrianna croaked as her voice was raw from the ordeal. “But first…..I don’t know how to thank you. It was just a safeguard, but we owe you BIG time.”

“Safeguard??” Jenny cried, “Somebody want to let me know what the fuck is going on?”

Adrianna set her mug on the table and took Jenny’s hands in hers as she laid out the story.

“Jen……” Adrianna began, “When we first set out on this plot, I got a bit concerned about what Chip had told us about Kruger. Something in his e-mails and phone messages just sounded a little more serious to me than he thought—no offense, Chip.”

“None taken….” Chip threw in quickly.

“After you set this in motion, Jen…..” Adrianna went on, “I did my own background checks on Kruger and what I found was pretty ugly. You know of my skill in the tech arena?”

Jenny nodded and sipper her tea.

“Well…..” Adrianna continued, “I was able to hack into some areas that Chip was not privy to and our Mr. Kruger has been a very naughty boy. Chip knows all this now, I am sure, but at the time he had no idea that Kruger had devolved to the degree we witnessed over the last few days. I got in touch with him—Chip, not Kruger—and filled him in on what I had found out. Told him what we were planning and told him that if for some reason we went unaccounted for more than 48 hours, that maybe someone should come looking for us.”

Adrianna paused and sipped her tea as she let that sink in.

“Our whole plan?” Jenny asked wild-eyed, “All of it?”

“Hang on, Jen…..” Chip interrupted, “Let her finish.”

“You see, Jen…” Adrianna said when Chip was done, “After I found this new information, and got in touch with Chip, he let me know that his last couple dealings with Kruger had not gone very smoothly and what I had uncovered was not too surprising. This put a new spin on everything……So as a safeguard, I set up an auto-mailer to Chip that if 48 hours expired and he had not heard from me personally, were might be in trouble. I gave him access to my physical location via this GPS tracker that I have on my watch—gave him a link to it through the RTO Enterprises website.”

Adrianna went silent waiting for questions from Jenny.

“I see…..” Jenny said as she took in Adrianna’s tale. “Ever think I might want to be in the loop on that one?” Her voice was now tinged with just a flash of anger.

“Was a judgment call on my part, Jen….” Adrianna said as she looked directly into her lover’s eyes. “Maybe a mistake—forgive me if you feel I left you out. This all happened very last minute and I was afraid that you might want to can the whole thing if you knew. We had put a lot of effort into this plan and at that point I wanted you to stay focused on that—you were the major player here. I had no idea that Kruger would put us through what he did……Like you, I was just assuming that we’d fuck the guy a couple times and be done with him—like always. Jen…..at this point, I did not think we could afford not to take a shot at Kruger.”

Jenny glanced at Chip, feeling real shame and regret for how she had treated him when they had been together. She nodded at Adrianna and kissed her hand.

“So, Chip……” Jenny said in a long and drawn-out drawl, “I get the safety net now. And yes…..thank you very much. Not sure we can ever repay you. But why are you personally here?”

“Ummmm……” Chip began, “Let’s see…..where to begin. First of all, Jen, you’re very welcome. Like I told you earlier…..I knew what I was getting into with you when we were back in Connecticut……ever think that maybe I saw you just like you saw me……..just a port in the storm?”

Jenny’s jaw dropped at the revelation.

“Yeah…..” Chip continued, “I always liked you a lot, Jen, but at that point in my life…..and please, please don’t be hurt…..I just needed the sex…..the physical contact…..and you were like no woman I have ever known, then or since….by the way…..that photo of you on the RTO website that you were using to draw in Kruger…..muy caliente!”

Jenny’s jaw remained agape, but she smiled at her memories of her and Chip.

“However……” Chip went on, “When you split for Florida, I realized I had made a huge mistake in how I saw you and how we had just used each other. I have changed a lot since those days, but that time with you, despite its dysfunction at the time, remains a very sweet memory for me. I was pretty inexperienced sexually at the time and believe me, being with you was a REAL education.”

Jenny laughed with a sputter as Adrianna and Chip joined her. Adrianna held up her palm and Chip smacked her solid high five.

“So you know about us…..” Jenny asked, “Me and Adrianna?”

“Yeah…..” Chip said. “Adrianna and I talked. No biggie…..”

Jenny smiled at the two of them and listened.

“When Adrianna told me of your plan…..” Chip said, “And by the way……bravo! When she told me about your plan, I was thrilled since Kruger seems to be getting sleazier and sleazier in the business world these days apparently….guessing once he was successful as a personal sleaze it was an easy transition. Anyway, we talked it over and we decided to set this safety button up just in case.”

“But why you personally?” Jenny asked.

“Like I said,” Chip replied, “Our time together in Connecticut meant a lot to me as the years went by, and I figured I owed you some favors based on your…..let’s say……instruction?”

Jenny laughed again remembering how she had brought Chip along sexually……his penis was huge, but his technique need some touch-ups.

“You know I have done well in Europe, right?” Chip asked.

Jenny nodded.

“Well……” Chip went on, “This whole thing seemed fraught with potential danger and it was no big deal to put together our little rescue operation. I was already over in Bermuda when Adrianna called me, so it was easy to put this together at the last minute. Just a friend paying off an old debt if you want to think of it that way…...”

“So, he’s not dead is he?” Jenny asked as she motioned to the inert form of Leslie Kruger.

“Nah……” Chip said, with a wave of his hand. “Just sleeping deeply for a while…..he’ll be out long after we have you two out of here and safely back in Miami.”

“What about his crew?” Adrianna asked suddenly, realizing they had not heard a peep from anyone since Chip and his team had arrived.

“My guys?” Chip asked. “Longtime high school buddies and former Navy Seals……I am sure the crew is sleeping as soundly as old Kruger here.”

“And our money?” Jenny asked. “Surely he’ll come looking for that once he figures out he’s been scammed?”

“Nope…..” Adrianna chirped up. “The electronic transfer that Kruger initiated was immediately re-routed so many times that it would take him forever to figure it out. As soon as we leave here, RTO Enterprises will cease to exist and electronically it will be like it never existed. We’re free and clear….”

“Could we pay you something, Chip?” Jenny asked. “This whole thing couldn’t have been cheap.”

“I tried…..” Adrianna said quickly before Chip could intervene. “He won’t discuss it.”

“Told you, Jen…..” Chip said, “This is a repayment of an old debt. And as far as Kruger is concerned…….his tech skills are so weak, that unless he wants to hire some really expensive consultants to dig for it, I think he will just drop it. Even with the best experts out there, it would take a long time and probably more money than what you two just pinched him for. Also, he would have to explain to someone else that two women had just pulled a fast one on the famous ‘Leslie Kruger’……too much for his massive ego I bet.”

“I see.” Jenny replied.

“That is just how good Adrianna is.” Chip said as he proffered the woman a fake 2-fingered salute.

“Glad you’re on my side, honey.” Jenny said as she smiled at her lover broadly and laughed.

They finished their tea, retrieved the women’s clothes and briefcases and other stuff they had brought with them and Chip regrouped with his buddies while Jenny and Adrianna traded the temporary covers that Chip had given them for their original attire. Chip and his buddies helped Jenny and Adrianna into the Zodiac and they sped off for the Florida coast, leaving Leslie Kruger and his crew fast asleep. The trip through the night air was brisk, but the wind felt refreshing and stimulating on Jenny and Adrianna’s skin. After their couple of days of confinement with Kruger, Jenny would never complain about feeling chilled or ruffled by the wind again.

Postscript

True to Chip’s prediction, neither Jenny nor Adrianna ever heard from or were contacted by Leslie Kruger again. A few days after they got back in Miami and everything had settled down, Adrianna got a call from the last in a very long line of locations in which she had re-routed and re-re-routed Kruger’s money saying it was now available for their disposal. Adrianna had added an extra layer of protection by distributing the funds over numerous accounts so that the huge payday they had taken from Kruger would not just suddenly appear in one place and set off a whole new set of warning bells.

With the new influx of cash, Jenny and Adrianna settled the governmental snags in Costa Rica, rehired the construction companies in Puntarenas that had been told to stand down while San Jose officials waited for their kick-backs, paid off the outstanding debts on their home, and refilled their lost savings that they had poured into the project when the economy went south. They immediately informed Roger and Paul that the resort was back on track due to some new investors they had taken on, who due to their particular tax status would prefer to remain silent partners. All they wanted was a 5-10% cut of the final net each quarter…..Jenny had hoped this lie would not be too heavily scrutinized by their associates at Anderson & Mellon and luckily it was not. Roger and Paul just liked the bottom line……period.

Jenny and Adrianna were again the toast of the organization following a brief period of stress and pressure as it looked for a long time as if their Costa Rican venture was doomed to failure. Even with all the bribes and graft, Kruger’s funds had been well more than was required to complete the development and Jenny and Adrianna stored away the remainder in secretive accounts in both the Cayman Islands and Switzerland that they promised would never be touched until they retired……which they hoped would be very soon. And in fact that day would come sooner than expected for the pair as Anderson & Mellon announced that as of September 23, 2010 they would be known as “Anderson, Mellon, Mae, & Welton”.

Jenny and Adrianna had attained such status and respect among their associates at work that they no longer hid their relationship from anyone. A couple of newer associates thought it would be funny to throw around some “lesbo jokes” just for kicks at the office, but they soon found this an immediate and direct path out the front door as Roger, Paul, the board of directors, and everyone else there knew how responsible the two women had been for the growth and success they were all now enjoying. Both Jenny and Adrianna were greatly relieved when this new atmosphere kicked in, but in one meeting with Roger they were one again taken aback by the old man’s knowledge of all things corporate:

“Jenny…..Adrianna……” Roger said privately to them finally one day as he announced his retirement, “You know we always knew about you, right? You know…..your relationship? We always knew…….we just didn’t see it as a real issue.”

Both women sat stunned as Roger made this revelation.

“I told you , I always knew everything that was going on at the old Anderson & Mellon…….”
