A note to readers:
This is a long story that unfolds chapter by chapter through the eyes of two protagonists - Mark and Elsa, and as in many of my other stories involves a growing spate of horny characters.
Every ten chapters or so I will provide a short summary at the start of that episode to bring new readers up to date (see start of Ch. 80).
This story could appear in a number of genres (Loving Wives, Incest, Lesbian, Fetish, and more) depending on the chapter, but the overall theme is Group, so I have applied this moniker to all chapters. The story is still being written, yet I intend to post a new chapter every couple of days. Enjoy.
Chapter 85 - Friends in High Places. Friends Needing Help
Mark
I admit to a moderate degree of over-confidence as Cindy and I strode into the large conference room, followed by my financial colleagues from Worthington Industries. We were identified as WI on the 'Big Board,' the trading exchange that only the best stocks appeared on.
I would be in control of this situation from the get-go. My goal was to have every financial analyst in the earnings report meeting walk away at the end of the day believing that Worthington Industries was one of the best investments anybody could ever make in a company because once again we had done a magnificent job and the future looked like Eden. We wanted to maintain our strong 'Buy' rating for the publicly traded stock.
Morgan Stanley hosted the meeting in a room that held about fifty people - all financial types from the big houses. The meeting was 'invitation only' and the attendees were the cream of the crop in terms of their ability to analyze, study, and rate WI. They were here for three or four hours to grill my minions and me about Worthington Industries. They would believe that little about the company remained secret after they chewed on our quarterly and end of fiscal year earnings reports, our strategic plans, and walked through performance and trends division by division. Fortunately, we were slightly ahead of expectations; a point that made them happy because we did what we'd promised and it turned out precisely to have the financial impact on the stock that Wall Street wanted and expected.
Every one of us at the meeting knew everything there was to know about Worthington Industries, except possibly Cindy. We were A+ students appearing for our oral exams before our faculty committee. We had this nailed.
We were milling around having some after lunch cookies and coffee before the meeting started when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and stared into the beautiful eyes of Wendy, the luscious woman I'd fucked several times the night before and early that morning at a swing club called
Checkmate
. Panic surged through my head for a second. What the fuck was she doing here?
She smiled, "Good morning, Mr. Worthington. I just wanted to thank you for speaking with us today ... and for our brief time together last evening ... or was that your twin brother?" She teased with a broad grin.
I read the impressive permanent nametag she wore. 'Wendy Hayden, Senior VP, Investment Analytics Division, Bank of America." Whoa! This was one very important woman ... and I'd fucked her four times about twelve hours earlier. Not once, the night before, did we even come close to detailing our careers or other parts of our life, plus I thought I'd ducked the 'Are you Mark Worthington the billionaire?' question with a flip answer, but she knew even then but hadn't said anything beyond that.
I grinned back at her, "Why Wendy, what a very pleasant surprise, and one that has just turned a potentially dull meeting into one full of excitement and promise." I tried to reestablish the illusion of control over the meeting that had vanished at her sight.
Wendy smiled and said disarmingly, "Before we get immersed in business, I was hoping that you and Cynthia might join Ron and me again tonight at our condo in the East Village. We have a nice little restaurant nearby, and then we can have some after dinner drinks at our place. I suggest you come by at seven or seven thirty." She thrust a business card into my hand; "The information you need is all on there."
"Cindy and I would be delighted to join you." By that time the worry had left, and I gave her a sincere reply. I also felt a little surge of sexuality in my groin. Wendy obviously had no intention of creating a scene or posing as an embarrassment.
Cindy found me a minute later. She smiled at me and said, "Small world full of large coincidences, right?" She smiled, nodded at Wendy and gave a little wave. Wendy had joined a conversation group next to us a few feet away. They both smiled broadly at each other, a good sign.
Somewhat disconcerting was that Wendy sat in the front row for the briefing and Q&A session about Worthington Industries, and made it a point to show a lot of leg; nothing outrageous, but just enough to be distracting to me. I know Cindy noticed. She was sitting next to me and whispered to me to call attention to the display - not that I hadn't already noticed. The others at the dais couldn't have missed the shapely gams either, but we were all polite and I only drooled a little thinking of what might happen later and what the early hours of the morning had brought.
Wendy had been a delight the evening before, and was it not for Cindy's love and attention, the highlight of the trip. As I talked I wondered how many corporate CEOs remembered the details of a senior analyst's nude breasts, pubic hair, labia, or vagina, or the exquisite taste of her womanhood, or the feel of her nipples on their tongue when aroused her while their cock sawed away in her pussy. Wendy had been enthralling and both fun and romantic to be with.
The meeting unfolded smooth as silk. I set the stage in slightly optimistic terms, trying to manage expectations about the coming quarters, and not just what we were there to report on. I introduced Fred Kreswick, our CFO, and he took everyone through two dozen slides that reported on our earnings, share price, trading volume, insider sells and buys, exercised options, and a whole raft of other statistics that various people thought meant something in the topsy-turvy financial world. Some of our colleagues were frequently called in to answer questions as we went along.
The Morgan Stanley executive playing host, emceed a Q&A session that went for about ninety minutes, and the questions were far reaching and detailed. Fortunately, not one thing popped up that was embarrassing or unexpected.
