CHAPTER 1

Samantha (Sam) Harper

Okay, what do you think? I asked as I walked into the living room. I twirled around. I was wearing a white, long sleeveless v-neck dress with a print embellished bodice cut out at the back.

You're not showing enough skin, Kevin replied.

It's a sleeveless v-neck and cut out at the back, I said.

You're not showing any leg and not enough cleavage, Kevin responded.

It's a v-neck. There's cleavage, I protested.

I don't see any boobies. For cleavage to be truly sexy there has to be some boob showing, Kevin said.

I disagree, I said.

I agree with Kevin. Why don't you wear the shorter dress? said Olivia.

Yes! That dress shows a lot of skin. It shows off your legs, full cleavage – with the right amount of boobs, Kevin agreed. He polished off the drink that he had in his hand.

I'm showing just the right amount of skin for a casual business dinner.

Are we going through that again? Olivia replied.

Come on, Sam. We've already been over this, Kevin chimed in.

You're right. We have. And I made my position clear, I replied.

I had made my position clear to them. Convincing myself was another matter. The evening dress was my way of trying to keep a lid on any possible sexual urges. Keep the temptation to a minimum.

Kevin and Olivia both rolled their eyes at me. Kevin groaned. You are impossible, he said.

This is a very nice dress. Kevin, you picked it out for me. You said it was feminine and professional. A perfect dinner cruise dress. Well, we are taking a dinner cruise.

I picked it out before I knew that Jacob Webster wanted to bone you.

You don't know for a fact that Jacob wants to 'bone me'.

Don't I?

Kevin mixed himself a Pina Colada and flopped back on the sofa. Olivia sat on the arm of the couch and took the drink from Kevin's hands. She took a sip. Needs more rum, she said as she handed it back to him.

It has just the right amount of rum.

It's weak. Come on, you're a big boy, you can handle a little more rum in your drink. No doubt that she was goading him on. Olivia liked to see Kevin get tipsy. She thought it was funny.

Kevin ignored her and took a sip of his drink. You're right, it does need more rum, he admitted. He got up and returned to the mini bar.

Are you two finished swapping drink recipes? I said.

There's nothing left to say. You've clearly made up your mind, said Olivia.

Part of me felt let down. Yes, I had protested. But that didn't mean I wasn't open to being convinced to wear the sexy little skirt hanging in my closet. The one that accentuated my cute ass and showed off my legs. Maybe it was a bit passive-aggressive, but I might have been more desperate to get in Jacob's pants than I wanted to let on. 

So that's it? No arm twisting? No trying to convince me that I need to seize the opportunity to score the account and with Jacob? Nothing about needing to get laid so bad that I should be putting everything I have out there? None of that? I said.

Is that what you want us to do? asked Kevin.

I don't know. I just expected more of a fight from the two of you.

You are looking for a reason to go against your own protests, aren't you? Olivia said with a smirk.

No comment, I replied.

She is, Kevin said to Olivia. Then he turned to me. Sweetie, you need to be happy with your decision. What do you want to happen tonight?

I want Jacob to ravage my body with the most intense sexual pleasure I have ever known. But I need to win the account for the agency. Those two are mutually exclusive.

Only because you say they are, said Olivia. But we want to be supportive. We have fun with this, but you know we don't want you to be uncomfortable with your decision.

"I know. I think I
