Miss Callahan, ch. 14

Chapter 14It?s dark by the time I get to Lauren?s apartment and it?s hard to see much detail other than that the building seems fairly new or it was at least recently renovated. It?s not the luxury high rise I expected her to live in and the building?s lobby is actually kind of quaint. It has a historical hotel feel to it, even though everything is clearly new.As I?m waiting for the elevator to take me to Lauren?s apartment on the 10th floor, I feel my phone buzz."Just come in when you're here. The door is unlocked," Lauren texts.All at once, my body erupts in a mix of nerves, excitement, and arousal. I might have been able to convince myself as I was getting ready earlier that this wasn?t as nerve-wracking since I know Lauren now, but that?s harder now that I?m here. Something about her text drips with a sexual magnetism and my body is responding in kind.Once I reach her door, I take a few steadying breaths before I walk into the apartment, griping the bottle of wine I brought probably more tightly than I need to. It?s just dawning on me now that I?ve never been to an Executive Vice President?s home before and as the thought crosses my mind, I have to remind myself that she?s not just an EVP, she?s my girlfriend.I give myself an internal shake and walk into the apartment. But when I come in, Lauren isn?t in sight and all I can see is a long, dark hallway leading to the rest of the apartment. I can see some light flickering at the end so I slowly head to that.The room I walk into is almost empty, but I can see the potential. With high ceilings and an open floor plan, everything about the apartment?s fixtures looks new and expensive. The only furniture I can see is a small table in the middle of the room that has a candle and flower on it.The light is off and the only thing illuminating the room are candles placed all around the wall. There is also a modern gas fireplace against one wall that is set to low. The scene is so romantic that I feel speechless as I turn around the room and take it all in.?Come out here, Ems,? I hear a voice call from the doors on the other side of the room.I was so distracted by the candles and table when I first came into the room, that I didn?t even notice the two large glass doors lining the far wall. But as I open them wider and move out onto the balcony, my breath catches and for the first time, it?s not even because of Lauren?s presence.I knew we were close to the water based on the beach signs I saw around the front of the building, but it?s not until I came out to the balcony that I can see just how close we are. Lauren?s apartment building is resting on a large rock structure that extends into the ocean and I?m looking directly out and down at Puget Sound. It?s dark so I can?t make out much of the water?s detail, but the view is magnificent, nonetheless.?It?s so beautiful,? I say quietly as I look out at the dark water and city lights around us.There are areas of Seattle that are just as loud as any big city with car horns and sirens going at all hours. But Ballard feels like a little haven away from all that and I can see why Lauren chose it. The quiet of the night almost makes it feel like we?re in some small, coastal town instead of a sprawling metropolitan.?When it?s sunny out, you can see the Olympic Mountains as well. That was the main selling point for me. I love the water, but the mountains are my favorite part,? Lauren says as she comes up close to me near the rail.Her sudden proximity to my body is all I need to tear my eyes away from the dark view. When I look at her face, I?m reminded that there?s more than one amazing view on this balcony. In fact, Lauren?s bright green eyes are fast becoming my favorite view.She?s changed her top to a tight, gray tank top, but she still has on the same black leggings from before that hug her body so perfectly. At this moment I?ve decided that casual Lauren is my favorite Lauren. As I move my gaze Demetevler Escort up her body, my eyes land on the black hairband around her wrist and my pussy gives an involuntary pulse at the sight. I know exactly what that hairband is for.?Are you going to keep staring or do I get a kiss hello?? she asks in a voice that?s already dripping in sexy authority.She?s so close that I can smell her familiar perfume and even though I just showered to wash away our last round of sex, I desperately want that perfume on my body again. I lean in, instead of answer, and place a soft kiss on her lips. With one hand still holding my wine bottle, it?s hard to deepen it though and we both pull back after a moment.Our faces are still inches apart and I can see her slide her tongue sensually across her lips as if she is savoring our kiss hello. The bright green I just saw in her eyes has darkened to match the night and I can tell we may not get to dinner for a while.?Hi,? I say quietly, not moving my body away from hers, relishing in the closeness.?Hi,? she replies in the same quiet tone. ?Thank you for the wine,? she adds and I can feel her hand come up to take it out of my hand. ?I?ll put this in the kitchen. I have a bottle on ice ready for us. I?ll get you a glass.?Lauren doesn?t wait for my response before she takes the bottle I brought through the doors with her and to wherever the kitchen is. I?d ask for a tour, but I?d rather not break whatever sexual tension we have building right now.Lauren is quickly back with two glasses of champagne. From the moment she comes back onto the balcony her eyes are trained on me and I can?t look away from their intensity. She raises her glass toward mine and I lightly tap my own against it.?To us,? she says, taking a sip with her eyes still on me.I maintain her gaze until the bubbly hits my tongue, but then have to close my eyes to savor the amazing taste that hits my taste buds. ?Oh my god, that?s good champagne,? I say.?I?m glad you like it,? she says with a confident smile as if she knows just how good her selection is.?This whole place is amazing,? I say looking out at the water again.When Lauren moves closer to the rail and leans against it, looking out at the city lights ahead, I follow her lead, making sure our bodies are pressed against each other in the process.?Views like this are one of the main reasons I wanted to move to the Seattle office. I didn?t grow up around mountains or water and every time I came here it just felt majestic,? she says as we look out.?What were the other reasons?? I ask.?I wish I could be romantic and say you were, but I made my choice long before I met you. The west coast has the best growth trajectory for Altitude in the entire country. My specialty is in the tech space, so it just made sense to go where the money was.??That was the least romantic response I?ve ever heard,? I reply sarcastically.?And then I found out who was behind the surge in west coast growth. And now she?s my girlfriend. So indirectly, it was always you,? she adds smoothly.?Wow. You really turned that one around,? I say with a laugh.?And don?t forget the candles,? she says, pointing back into the apartment.?The candles were a nice touch,? I say, turning so my side is against the rail and I can see her face better.She turns her body as well and brings a hand up so she can lightly play with the ends of my hair. As she does, I can see the small smile on her face fall slightly.?I?m sorry we couldn?t go out tonight like a real couple,? she says in a serious tone.?That?s not your fault,? I reply, taking her hand into my own. ?Hopefully after the pitch is done, we can.?Her expression grows even more serious. ?We?ll still need to figure out how to navigate this with Altitude.??But not tonight. Tonight, we can just have a date, right??Deep down, I know Lauren is right and it?s not just the Otele Gelen Escort Ellison pitch that is an obstacle for us. Lauren is directly responsible for my career growth and the fact that we?re fucking won?t be taken lightly by HR. But after the emotional conversation with Jackie today, I just want to forget about all that and just enjoy being with this woman.?Yes, we can. And I?ve already failed because I haven?t told you yet how beautiful you look tonight.?Lauren is so confident and sure of everything she says that to anyone else, her smooth compliments might seem disingenuous. But as I?ve gotten to know her, I?ve come to recognize the tenderness in her eyes when she looks at me. And this feels like the most genuine connection I?ve ever had.?That?s just because you love pink so much,? I say back as innocently as I can.Lauren quirks her eyebrow at my comment and doesn?t say anything for a moment as she seems to process what I said.?Ems. Did you wear pink to sass me???No, miss,? I reply in a quiet voice, casting my eyes downward.Lauren gently grabs my chin and pushes my face up so we?re forced to make eye contact. Her eyes are shining with arousal and my body feels like it?s getting warmer as I watch her transition from Lauren to Miss Callahan.?Don?t lie to me. Did you wear that color to get a reaction out of me???Yes, Miss Callahan. It was to tease you.??Are you hungry?? she asks.?Not for food, miss,? I reply back in a voice that suddenly sounds breathy.She holds my chin for a beat longer before she drops her hand. She takes the glass out of my own and moves to the doors leading back into the apartment.?Follow me,? she says and walks to the table inside the room so she can set the two glasses on it.She quickly blows out the candle on the table and goes around the room blowing out some of the others. When she comes back to my side, she gives me a smile that looks more predatory than sweet.?On your knees,? she says in a low, stern voice that I don?t dare to disobey.But once I?m on my knees, Lauren moves past me to the other side of the room. She turns as she reaches the doorway and gives me a challenging look.?Do we need to work on your listening, darling? I said follow me.?Her meaning sinks in and the instant throb I feel in my pussy is juxtaposed against the tentativeness I feel at complying. Being spanked is one thing, but crawling on the floor, following at her heels, feels like the height of submission. But I can?t tell if I?m tentative because I?m uncomfortable or if I?m just surprised by how much it actually turns me on.?Ems,? she says softly from the doorway. ?You can use your safe word at any time and I won?t be upset.?Her words cement what I already know? I want to crawl on the floor for her. I want to submit to this woman however she asks me to. I look into her warm eyes and give her a small smile so she knows that I?m in this before I slowly crawl over to her feet.Lauren doesn?t say anything and turns so she?s heading into a bright, open kitchen. She doesn?t stop in there or say anything about it and just walks through another doorway and down the next hall.I?m trying my best to keep up the pace while also not stumbling around on my knees, but Lauren?s apartment is so much bigger than it seems at first glance. As we head to the last door down the hall, we pass two other doors, which I?m guessing are an additional room and bathroom.Lauren doesn?t wait for me as she opens the door and moves into the room. When I finally come in on my knees, she?s standing by a large bed. My attention is distracted from the woman in front of me for a moment as I look around the fully furnished room, which is a stark contrast to the rest of the empty apartment.?The bedroom is important. I prioritized getting it ready. I wasn?t very well going to fuck you on a mattress on the floor? she says to me.Apparently, she?s able Balgat Escort to read my thoughts now or maybe my surprised expression was just that obvious as I looked around the room from my knees. I want to look around more to see how Lauren decorated her room, but with her domineering pose standing over me, I simply move my gaze up to meet her own.?In position. Do you remember it?? she asks.I simply nod and crawl to the foot of the bed so I?m right at her feet. Lauren removes the hairband from her wrist and hands it to me.?I?ll be back. Don?t move out of position.?She moves to the other side of the room and disappears behind a door which I assume leads to a bathroom. I don?t waste any time taking my clothes off, carefully folding them, and putting them on a vanity near the far wall. I have to smile as I do it? I can imagine Lauren doing her makeup and spraying her perfume at her vanity like she?s some movie star from the 1940s.Once I?m back at the foot of the bed, I quickly put my hair up and my hands behind my back and wait for Lauren to come back. What was probably only five minutes feels like an hour, but any impatience I feel is worth it when I see Lauren come back into the room.Her outfit is similar to the one she had on last night. She has what looks to be the same or similar black leather pants, but this time, her leather bra is a deep crimson. Her hair is up in a high ponytail, extenuating the perfect angles of her face and her lips are painted the same color as her bra. She looks dangerously sexy.Her entire pose is commanding, made more so by the riding crop hanging loosely at her side. Seeing her holding the crop gives me an instant rush and without any underwear on, I can already feel some wetness begin to seep out onto my inner thighs. I?m so distracted by the sight of the crop that I almost miss that she?s holding some kind of black cloth in her other hand.I stay quiet in my position as she moves towards me in a torturously slow strut.?Tonight isn?t the first time you?ve been blatantly sassy to me. We need to deal with that. What do you think I should do???Punish me, miss,? I reply back and my voice is so husky that I can?t even hide how much the idea of her punishing me turns me on.?How?? she asks.?With your riding crop, please, miss.??The riding crop that almost brought you to an orgasm before I even touched you last night? This one?? she asks as she puts the tip of the crop under my chin and moves my face up so I?m looking at her.?Yes, miss.??That doesn?t exactly seem like punishment, does it??As much as I want her to use the crop on me again, I find this foreplay of submission even hotter and at this point, she can punish me however she wants to.?Maybe if you hit me harder, miss,? I reply, which elicits a low laugh from the other woman.?My naughty girl likes to be spanked. I?ll tell you what, let?s make a compromise. Get on all fours, darling.?It doesn?t take much for me to put my hands on the floor, but I move away from the foot of the bed a bit so we have more room for whatever Lauren has planned. She?s suddenly at my side and puts her hand gently on the back of my head so she can stroke the hairs of my ponytail.?I?m going to use the riding crop on you for your punishment?"?Thank you miss,? I pant out in my sudden excitement, not meaning to cut her off.Lauren pulls on my ponytail and I feel a flash of pain on my scalp, but somehow even that sensation seems to roll down my body and straight to my pussy.?Manners, Ems. I wasn?t finished,? she says sternly. ?I?m going to use my riding crop, but you will be blindfolded. I don?t want you to be able to anticipate when the hits will come. Understand???Yes, miss,? I say instead of just nod, knowing how sexy Lauren finds verbal consent.I can feel my arms shaking slightly, but not from being tired? my whole body is shaking from the anticipation and arousal of losing my sense of sight. Lauren fits a small blindfold over my eyes but doesn?t seem to have to tie anything since there?s an elastic band. This face mask fits the curves of my face perfectly and is clearly meant for this purpose.At once, the loss of my sight causes another rush of wetness to gush from my pussy and I have to bite the inside of my mouth so I don?t embarrassingly moan before she even touches me.
