“Mr Stone…” I went to protest.
“It’s getting late Miss Woods, I suggest we get started.”
I sat there opened mouthed. He was really going to make me do this.
“Now, first of all put me on loud speaker so that you don’t have to hold your phone. You’re going to need both hands.” His voice was so clinical, as if he was instructing me how to turn on a washing machine…not myself.
Nerves spread through me, although I also noticed a small sense of anticipation. Something about this made me excited. How stupid was that?
I placed the phone on my bedside table with him set on loud speaker as he’d asked. He didn’t wait for me to confirm anything, instead just continuing on with his instructions.
“I want you to strip off completely. Then open the box and take out the vibrator. It already has batteries inside. Once you’ve got it, lay down on your bed.”
Adrianne met me outside Mr Stone’s building at 3pm. She looked up in awe at the structure.“Wow,” she said simply.I sighed. “Yep.”We made our way up to his apartment, and I braced myself as we rang the bell. He appeared a few moments later. I buckled a little as I took in his appearance. His hair had been perfectly styled away from his face, allowing his light stubble to highlight his angular jawline. A deep blue shirt clung tightly to his body. His top buttons were undone. Something that he didn’t do at the office. Dark trousers, equally as tight as his shirt, left little to the imagination. When I realised my eyes had travelled down way to far, I blushed and looked away.“Afternoon ladies, please come in.”He stood aside and allowed us to enter. As I passed him, the smell of a new cologne caught my attention. Was he making this much effort for me?He directed us towards a door. “If yo
I didn’t hear anything from Mr Stone after Saturday. I wasn’t sure why I was expecting to, but I did all the same. I realised I wanted him to call me to let me know nothing happened with Emma. That as soon as he found out I knew her he had sent her away. I accepted how ridiculous this was, but it’s what I wished all the same. When I’d agreed to this arrangement, I hadn’t thought about him seeing other people. How stupid of me, considering the many different women I’d seen him photographed with.One good thing was that I was slowly starting to improve when it came to putting on make up. It didn’t look as good as when Adrianne did it, but I could definitely see progress. Part of me was also beginning to enjoy it. Having a routine in the morning that made me feel a little better about myself could only be a good thing. I wasn’t so used to the new clothes just yet, but then everything Mr Stone had bought me was more office appropria
It was Wednesday morning, and I was sitting at my newly acquired desk. Mr Stone wasn’t in yet. Apparently, he was busy with an early meeting. I was glad of this though. It meant I had time to look over all of the research I had done on Blast without having the topic of Emma brought up. Despite being distracted, I had managed to do a fair amount. I even thought I had an idea on how we could market Blast in a new way that was still in keeping with the product.The office door was pushed open, and I braced myself to meet Mr Stone’s eyes. But it was not Mr Stone. It was Greta. I frowned as I considered how there was no chance that she would just barge in here if Mr Stone was in the office.She gave me her usual disapproving look. “The Blast ad team are waiting for you in the conference room,” she said stiffly.I rose out of my chair, quickly grabbing the folder I had prepared to take with me. “Where is it? The conference room I me
Embarrassingly, it had taken me a while to get what Mr Stone had meant. When it finally dawned on me, I was unable to concentrate on any work for the rest of the day. In contrast, Mr Stone simply got on with his schedule. Occasionally he explained things to me or showed me different client portfolios. He acted as if everything was normal. As if he hadn’t asked me to masturbate in front of him in a few hours’ time.As the end of the day approached, I became more and more nervous. Eventually I gave up trying to pretend to work, and looked out of Mr Stone’s window at the city skyline.“Shall we get started?” His voice came from behind.I gave a small nod.“You don’t have your vibrator in your handbag by any chance, do you?” He asked it so casually. He might as well been asking if I had a pen.My eyes flicked to his. “Are you mad?”He laughed. “Some women do. I could hear ho
I was doing it. I was going to the library. I was going to pick up my book. I was going to speak to him.I told this to myself again and again. What was stopping me now? I’d masturbated naked in front of a man…what could be scarier than that?I had spent approximately two hours getting ready. I knew I needed to look as good as was possible, without it being obvious that I had tried too hard. After a series of agonising wardrobe changes, I had settled on dark skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with my new navy wool coat over the top. I decided to go with my doc martens for shoes. After all, I needed something about me to be authentic.I had by no means mastered the art of make-up but I could now at least apply the basics and not have it look like a three-year old had drawn on my face with a pen.Thursday mornings in the library were usually a quieter time. The night before was the various society’s official night out. That meant a lo
“Does this mean you’re going to be taking your vagina out of hibernation?”I nearly choked on the swig of beer in my throat as Vanessa gave me an incredulous look.“Why do you always have to be so graphic?” I shot.She shrugged. “I say it like it is. That’s all.” She paused for a second, her finger lightly tapping the edge of the brown bottle. “You know, I’m not even sure hibernation is the right term. It’s never actually been out so, maybe released into the wild is better?”I rolled my eyes. It was best not to encourage Vanessa too much when she got like this.“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. He hasn’t even text me yet.” I tried to keep the disappointment out of my voice, but I failed miserably.Vanessa gave me a rare sympathetic look. “Listen, this is how guys are. They never want to act too keen. Give it time, it was only yesterday he a
I stared at him wide-eyed, waiting for what on earth he was going to ask me to do.“Go to the bed and sit against the headrest,” he commanded.I thought about protesting, but that would just waste valuable time. And if I was truly honest with myself, I was also curious about what he was going to ask me to do. He hadn’t told me to remove any of my clothes, so it made me think that it wasn’t going to be me that was touched tonight.As he kept his eyes on mine, he undid a few buttons on his shirt, and I braced myself for him to take it off, but he didn’t. I ignored the disappointment clouding within me, taking note of the spattering of dark curly hairs that were now revealed. Before I knew what was happening, he had snapped off his belt buckle with a flourish, pulling out the leather strap from the loops of his trousers swiftly. It clattered to the floor with a clang as the buckle knocked against its prong.My heart began to beat
My stomach flipped wildly as the nerves coursed through my system. Matt had asked me to meet him in The World’s End. I’d been a few times before, as it was one of the most well-known pubs in Camden. Letterbox red brick walls held my destiny.Predictably, I was stopped by the bald-headed bouncer. He looked at my ID suspiciously, but eventually gave a harsh grunt to tell me he was satisfised.The pub was rammed. It was Saturday night, so it was to be expected, but I wasn’t sure how I was going to find Matt in the throng of people. I did a rather unattractive impression of a meerkat, looking for any sign of my date. My search came up empty, and a dark feeling crept into the base of my stomach. What if he wasn’t here? What if I’d been stood up? I began to panic, conscious that people may already be staring at the girl without any friends.“Rosie!”Relief flooded through me. It was him. I swivelled round quickly to see him
