Tuesday was the longest Lena had ever experienced.
Her subordinates felt it: combined with her whirlwind emotions, some junior dumb ass almost lost a big account. They felt her wrath all day. And she saved the worst for that dipshit. First thing when she came in, he got called into her office. The unassuming junior manager decided would swagger in and be charming. He thought he was getting a pat on the back.
He was not prepared to what he walked into.
Lena was standing there in her "dominatrix" suit: hair slicked back, black, tight fitting suit jacket. Black blouse. Silk tight skirt, just above the knees. Stockings dark as night, with stilettos. Even her eyes were a dark, cold gray. She was a beautiful nightmare, ready to feed on an unworthy soul.
The dressing down she gave him would make the hardest soldier blush. He almost made them lose the account. But, he was lucky she was a master at negotiating. But she let him know, as sternly as she could, next time he decided to hit on a "secretary" - who wound up being the very offended female CEO-his balls were on the chopping block.
Lena took satisfaction in telling the employee who had called her "honey" one time in a board meeting this, as she shot a laser focused through him. He was relegated to the smallest accounts as long as Lena had the power. The misogyny that permeated her workplace stopped with HER. And she will leave an example for those who tried to bring it back.
He slunk away like an injured dog. Lena smiled the whole time.
She got home and sensed Jackie's presence. Not like her to come home this early. But with the drama with Colin, not too surprising. She treated slowly to her room, gauging the level of heartbreak level of her only daughter.
"How was your day, Jackie O?" she used the nickname she gave her as a toddler, hoping it would soothe her a bit.
"What do you think?" Jackie's eyes were blank, but there were signs of tears dried on her cheeks.
Lena gave her a hug. "It's going to be ok. Boys like him get what's coming to them." Which was hopefully a kick in the balls someday.
Jackie sighed. "I know. Not even mad about that anymore. Just...he made me look stupid. And I should have seen it coming."
"We all say that. Take it as a lesson." Lena's voice was even, straightforward. But her heart was breaking; she had been there.
"Was it like this with Dad?"
Lena took a deep breath. "Worse." She had to be truthful, even as she tried her hardest not to trash Chad. At least Colin hadn't been fucking the babysitter. Jackie didn't know that part, fortunately.
William's day was rough also, she found out. Jackie told her mom about a nasty rumor floating around about FUCKING REBECCA. It was officially her name to them. Lena had half a mind to just tell him to come live with them. No...bad idea. HORRIBLE idea. They would be so close. The raw sexual tension would bubble up immediately. And there was no way that Jackie wouldn't find out. Or even worse, the whole town.
They talked a bit more, and Lena went to make them a nice beef and vegetable stir fry. She even poured Jackie a small glass of wine, and got her now more experienced daughter to smile and laugh, telling how Colin was an AWFUL kisser.
Jackie retired a bit early- finals were next week, and she had to be ready. Lena went and took a long shower, contemplating Jackie's journey...and also to William. And the plan brewing in her head.
She changed into a light, silky blouse for bed, lace panties to match. She had to refocus her mind for a bit, or else she was going to lose all rationality. The book that she had been reading was sitting on the nightstand and she decided to distract her mind from going to erotic thoughts about later this week...if her plan came through.
Within a chapter, though, a steamy scene sent her mind racing again. Imagining the hot, erotic sex happening in the book was her and the hung, virile stud.
Frustrated, she threw the book down. There was only one way she could relax...she eyed Gustavo. She pondered for a minute. Although she greatly admired his service, she knew it wouldn't be enough. Not tonight. She needed more...personal care.
A thought came to her head. A delicious, naughty thought.
Lele stirred at the thought. IM IN, GIRL.
She remembered Jackie had given him Lena's number once to tell her that her "phone died" (it didn't) and she was at "his house" (not unless his name was Colin).
And he had texted her last night during the Colin drama.
Should she? She wanted to. More than she cared to admit.
Maybe to check on him...yes, that's it. And wherever it goes after that...
She picked her phone and found the number, tapping the text box. She struggled how to start the conversation. What could she say?
She stared at the screen for what seemed to be an eternity. Which made her jump when the "typing" signal started.
Damn it. He saw her.
Was he...doing the same?
William: Hey Ms. Keefe.
Lena shuddered with nervousness and excitement.
W: Sorry, Lena. Lol.
Lena: Hi! How are you? Are you ok? Jackie told me something happened.
W: Yeah. Just a tough day. Mom back on her bullshit. 🙄
Lena sighed. Rebecca was ALWAYS on her bullshit, it seemed.
L: I'm sorry. That's not fair to you. If you need me to listen, I'm here.
W: Thank you. That means a lot. 🥰
L: No need to thank me. You are special to me.
Lena paused, and decided to address the elephant in the room. Or pants, she thought to herself, grinning.
L: So...hope I didn't scare you last night. Hehe.
W: Um, no lol. Just shocked me a bit. But...it felt amazing.
Lena bit her lip.
L: Yes, it did. For me too. I couldn't help it...
W: Well I am glad you did it lol. We should be more careful, though.
Lena agreed. It was very risky. But her body needed it, wanted it, more than she'd ever wanted anyone.
L: Yes, it was...rash. But...I wanted to. Badly.
W: I did too. I hope there will be another chance soon.
L: Oh, there will be. I have plans.
Lena smiled wickedly. Should she tell him?
W: Jackie told me she's going to her dad's...
He knew. She shuddered. There was no going back now.
