Chapter 1
The hallway was nearly empty as the end of the day approached. It was Friday and I was eager to get out of here. I worked for a vitamin company and was the head of multiple projects. Which earned me a wealthy amount of money.
As I approached my office, I was greeted by my lovely assistant, Monica. For three years she worked for me and did one hell of a job. I cared for her as a friend. Last year, at the age of 32, she gave birth to her first child. A beautiful baby girl named Laura.
She stood up from her desk, her raven hair flashed before my eyes as she said, "Mr. Benoit, your ride will be here in 30 minutes. They said they are running a bit late due to traffic."
I gave her a warm smile. Inside I was a bit upset by this news, but it wasn't her fault. I simply said, "Well that gives me some time for a drink. Anything else?"
"No, sir," she said, sitting down. I continued for the door to my office when she added, "Oh wait, remember I will not be here next week sir."
"Oh yes, your vacation. Where are you going again?"
"Colorado, my husband's family is there."
"I see, have a great time Monica. Bring me back a shot glass."
She gave me a smile and said, "Of course, sir."
The sun had been setting when I entered my office. It's orange light gave it a warm glow. I kept a few bottles of alcohol in my office drawer for the rough days. Today was not one, but seeing that my driver was running late, one would be fine. I grabbed a glass and poured some whiskey into it, then I sat behind my desk and rested my feet on the end. My eyes closed and I began to rerun the day's events back in my mind.
Unfortunately, my thoughts were cut short when I heard the door to my office open then closed. I opened my eyes to see my best friend, Jeffrey. He also worked here at the company with me and we had been friends since high school.
"Enjoying an afternoon drink?" he said as he approached the desk.
"Help yourself," I gestured to the open bottle on my desk.
"No, thank you. Unlike you, I drive myself places."
"If I did that, then I wouldn't be able to do stuff like this."
"To each their own," he said, sitting at the empty chair across from me, "So, the party tonight."
"What about it?" The party was celebrating a big deal we just made with another company. The party was going to be at one of my houses in the hills of Los Angeles. A few of the shareholders were going to attend so it was a big thing.
"Well, the caterers have already arrived and have begun to set up."
"Okay?" I said turning my head to him wanting the point of the information.
"Well, I just wanted you to know that. But my real concern is," I knew what he was going to say, but I let him say it. "That you won't be sleeping with one of them. You can't do stuff like that tonight, not with the shareholders here."
"It happened once," he was referring to my sexual flings. At the age of 42, I had a beautiful wife of 20 years and two wonderful children. My son, Leon, was 20 and was now in his second year at college. My daughter, Jillian, just turned 18 and graduated high school, with the plans to head to law school. However, despite loving my wife and children, I always had a desire to have sex with men. I wasn't attracted to them, I just loved having sex with them. After some quick research, I found out I was bicurious. Ever since high school, I just loved having sex with men. There was so much about it that I loved. The way they sucked a cock was way different than any one who had sucked mine, even my wife. It was a secret only Jeffrey and my wife knew. Anna, my wife, never liked it. She always told me that it was a phase that would simply just pass. Unfortunately for her, it hadn't as I kept having sex with men on the side. She had found out about one incident, which had led to a fight.
"It's happened more than once. I've just paid the recent one to keep his mouth shut," Jeffrey said once again interrupting my thoughts. Despite us being friends for nearly 30 years, we had never had sex. I wasn't really the guy who sucked a cock or got fucked. I was what they called a top. I learned a bit of the lingo so it would be easier to communicate with guys who are going to blow me or get fucked by me.
"Relax," I said, placing the nearly empty glass on the table, "I will be on my best behavior tonight. You don't need to worry."
"Good, we don't need the company knowing you're sleeping with guys. It's a bad look for the company."
"Bad because I am sleeping with men?"
