CHAPTER 1

Susan, it is almost 4:30 pm and you are still here at work. Aren’t you supposed to be meeting your handsome fiancé at the Club?

You’re right Jan, and I’m way behind on my presentations for tomorrow morning. Could you please finish up this report for me and I promise you that I’ll make it up to you?

Jan, I really think that James is going to pop the question tonight and I am so excited that I just can’t focus on my work right now.

Well girl, then you get yourself out of here right now, and don’t worry about this report, because I will finish it up for you, but remember that you owe me.

Thanks so much, Jan, and wish me luck.

Susan rushed out of her office at the Advertising Agency, going to the elevator, and then went down the 27 floors to the lobby. Susan had her own car in the underground garage, but she hailed a cab instead, thinking it would be faster for her since she was running late to meet her fiancé, James Winston Thornton.

After several minutes, she arrived at the restaurant where the driver said, Miss, we have arrived at the Club Med. Stepping out of the cab, Susan took a deep breath, before entering the restaurant and then walked inside, where she looked around for James, but she didn’t see him at first, so she asked the waiter, Excuse me, I’m here to meet a Mr. James Thornton tonight, has he arrived yet?"

The waiter replied, Yes, Madam, I’ll show you to his table, please follow me.

Susan saw James in a far booth sitting with a very young and attractive girl. Susan told the waiter she saw her date, so the waiter went back to his duties.

Susan quickly hid behind a large palm plant, near James, and she heard him talking, You had better go over to your own table, Angel, because my finance is due to arrive here very soon, and we don’t want her to see us together. James kissed her on the lips before she walked across the room to her table.

Susan waited until the girl had sat down at her table, before she walked over to James, acting as if she had just arrived, Hi sweetheart, have you been waiting very long for me?

James looked up at her with a blank stare in his eyes, No, babe, actually, I just arrived shortly before you. Were you held up at work, because I thought we were to meet here at 4:30 and it is nearly five now.

Susan sensed coldness in his tone of voice, as she answered, Well James, if you just arrived here, then I guess you were late in arriving, as well.

James got a questioning look on his face, Is something wrong sweetie? You seem a little tense tonight and I wanted this night to be special for us.

Special? You want this night to be special, and you are making out with a bimbo, while you are waiting for me? I don’t call that SPECIAL James. How could you do that to me, after all these years we have been together?

But sweetie, I don’t know what you mean. I’ve been here, alone, waiting for the love of my life, so how could you say something like that?

James, I saw you with that bimbo, and you kissed her, the very way you used to kiss me. Now don’t deny it, because I just saw you do it a few moments ago.

Oh, sweetie, that was just a co-worker of mine, and I was just being friendly to her, because she just had a death in her family, and that is the truth.

Oh yeah, there is a death all right, but it is the death of our relationship, because you are a two-timing JERK.

Susan was at a loss for words, so she reached for his glass of champagne and threw it in his face, You jerk, I supported you through college, and I gave you the best 6 years of my life, and this is the way you treat me? I never want to see you ever again!

Susan stormed out of the restaurant as the people in the room were staring at them in awe. Susan waved for a cab, while tears rolled down her face, and behind her, James was calling after her, But sweetie, I love you and I would never do anything to hurt you. Sweetie…… And then Susan was out of sight as James stood there in utter embarrassment, while shaking his head in disgust.

Susan rushed over to a cab shedding tears, and feeling like her whole world had just come to an end. Sobbing, she told the driver where she wanted to go, Miss, is everything all right? I’m so sorry for your heart ache.

The cab drove away before James could finish his sentence and Susan had her head in her hands sobbing hysterically. Susan told the driver to take her to Jan’s place; because what she needed right now was a friend. The cab pulled up to the curb next to Jan’s apartment building, and after paying the driver, Susan rushed up to the front door pressing the door bell, Hello, this is Jan; who is this?

Jan, it is me, Susan, and I need to talk to you right now.

After the buzzer sounded, Susan entered the building, rushing up the stairs to Jan’s apartment and then she saw Jan in the hallway waiting for her, Susan, you are crying, so what happened? I take it that he did not propose.

Susan didn’t answer her until after she was inside the apartment, where Jan took her inside, trying to comfort her, Now, now, Susan, come on in and tell me all about it.

Susan sat on the couch, sobbing hysterically, while Jan was saying, That jerk is no good, honey, and you are just too good for him. You deserve someone who will love you for who you are, and I’m sure there is the right man out there for you.

Susan, did James break up with you? That JERK; you are better off without him baby. So, what did you do to him?

Susan answered with tears rolling down her cheeks, I threw a drink in his face and called him every name in the book before I stormed out of the restaurant. For all I know, he may have another girl friend, or a lover, but you know Jan, I feel sorry for any girl that he finds, and I hope she treats him worse than he treated me.

Both girls sat on the couch for several hours talking about how bad the men in the world are to women and finally after venting their anger, Jan told her, Now Susan, you are not going to be alone tonight, so you are going to spend the night here, and I will not take no for an answer.

Susan nodded her assent as they both went into the bedroom and got undressed for bed. Susan asked Jan, Do you have a nighty that I can borrow for tonight?

Jan answered her, I have a better idea. Why don’t we just sleep in our birthday suits, because there are no men here, and it is just us women?

Sounds like a plan, Jan, and you are such a good friend.

After that, they both climbed into bed, giggling like a couple of school girls, This is really fun, Jan, so good-night, and I hope tomorrow will be much better.

Jan turned off the light, as Susan snuggled next to her, Good-night Jan, you are really a good friend.

They both dozed off to sleep snuggled next to each other feeling the warmth of their bodies next to each other and they drifted off to sleep for the night. Susan had the strangest dream during the night, where she dreamed that James was caressing her breasts and kissing her face all over, and then she let out a moan, as she climaxed from the sensation.

The next morning, Susan opened her eyes, reaching over while thinking it was James next to her, but there was no one beside her. Susan called out, James, James, where are you?

Then Jan came into the room, wearing nothing at all, Susie, honey, you are here with me, not James; don’t you remember?

Susan then remembered that she had spent the night with her girlfriend, and then a huge sense of guilt swept over her, as she was remembering her erotic dream. She suddenly pulled the covers up around her, feeling very embarrassed.

Jan looked questioningly at her, Susan, why are you suddenly so shy? We’re just two women here, and there is no need to be shy around each other.

Susan stuttered, Uh…uh….uh….uh, Jan, what happened last night?

Well sweetie, don’t you remember, you caught that no good jerk James with another woman, and you broke up with him, before coming over here to me to spend the night; so why do you ask?

Susan began explaining, Well, Jan, it is just that I had a very erotic dream last night about James, and with us in bed together all night, I just thought………oh never mind, because it is not important.

Now Susan, you have just had a traumatic break-up, so it is natural for you to have such dreams, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Jan turned then going over to the bathroom, with a slight smile forming on her mouth and Susan quickly jumped out of bed to get dressed. Susan got dressed, while Jan was in the shower, and then she gulped down a quick cup of coffee, before grabbing her purse, yelling to Jan, Jan thanks for last night and I have to go to work now, because I am late for my presentation.

Susan left then, going down stairs to the lobby, and instead of taking her car, she got a cab, telling the driver to take her to her office building. Susan thought about her erotic dream, and wondered about her friend, but then she dismissed it, thinking it was just her imagination.

Susan arrived at her work space and began looking over her presentations in preparation for her meeting that day. Susan thought to herself, ‘Jan put these presentations together very well; but then, Jan has always been very efficient’.

Susan took her paperwork with her as she walked down the hall to the conference room, and after setting up at her seat, she waited for the client to arrive. She had never met this CEO from the Marketing Plus company, but she had been told that he was a very handsome man, and she was wondering if the man was married, or, in a relationship.

She was deep in thought, waiting for him to arrive, when she was mildly interrupted, Good morning Miss James, I’m a little early this morning, but I hope that is OK?

Susan was so stunned, that she stuttered, Uh…uh…uh…Yes, that is fine Mr. Thomas. So, please, have a seat, and we will get started.

Susan’s attention was so distracted by this very handsome man standing close to her with his hand held forward for her to shake, that she felt very embarrassed, as she starred at his crotch, and she quickly turned her head, while shaking his hand.

He introduced himself, I’m Bill Thomas, the CEO of Marketing Plus, and I’m very pleased to meet you. Please, call me Bill.

Susan regained her composure, Hello, Mr. Thomas, or Bill, and I am Susan James, so please call me Susan.

After everyone was seated, Susan began her presentation, explaining how she was going to advertise this new company, and her presentation lasted for several hours, before she asked if there were any questions.

Bill spoke up, Yes, I have a question.

Susan asked, So, what is your question?

Are you free this afternoon?

What did you say? Am I free this afternoon?

Yes, Susan, are you free to have a drink with me?

Well, err…err…yes, I am free, but what does that have to do with this presentation?

Well, Susan, I thought we could talk about this presentation over a drink, you know, up close and personal.

Well, Bill, I suppose we could do that, but I really wanted to wrap this up now.

So, I take it that is a yes, and I will see you this afternoon, say about 4 pm. I’ll have my driver pick you up. Bill then walked out of the room, along with his two associates.

Susan stood up, having a questioning look on her face, and thinking, ‘what just happened here’?"

Jan came into the room, walking up to Susan, Susan, how did your presentation go?

Jan you will not believe what just happened. The man totally ignored my presentation, and he hit on me, by asking me for a date.

Well, did you say yes to the date? After all, he is very handsome, and I checked him out on the internet. He is single, and he is not in any relationship.

Well, as a matter of fact, I did say yes, but I’m not sure if I will go out with him, because he sounds like a playboy, or even worse, he could be just a jerk.

Well Susan, you will never know, unless you take the chance and go on the date.

Susan thought to herself, ‘well, I did feel a very strong attraction to this guy, and maybe I should at least go out with him to check him out’.

Susan went back to her desk, working on the next client presentation and after several hours of working, she was interrupted by Jan, Susan, there is a man here to see you.

Just tell him that I will see him tomorrow, because I am really busy right now.

Susan, he is the driver for that hot date of yours, and he is here to pick you up.

Susan stopped what she was doing, and came out into the hallway, to see a man dressed in a chauffeur’s outfit, Madam, are you ready to go? I’m here to drive you to meet Mr. Thomas.

Yes, just give me a moment to get my coat.

Susan got her coat and spoke to Jan, Jan, can you please put my paper work away for me, and wish me luck.

No problem, Susan, I will take care of it and you go have some fun girl.

Susan went down to the lobby to the limousine that was waiting at the curb, and after entering the car, the driver spoke to her, It will be about a 15 minute drive, Miss, so have a drink while we drive.

Susan poured herself a Scotch on the rocks and while sipping her drink, she observed the surroundings as the Limo drove through the traffic to the outskirts of New York City. She was wondering how far outside of town she was being taken, because she assumed she was just going to a restaurant down town.

About 15 minutes later, the driver pulled up to the Helipad area to let her out, and she asked the driver Is this where I am supposed to be?

Yes, Madam, those are my orders, and if you have any questions, I’m sure they will explain it to you inside.

Susan entered the Helipad area where she saw Bill Thomas standing with several people in the middle of the room talking to them. When Bill saw Susan walk in, he came over to her, Hi, Susan, I’m so glad that you chose to come today.

I know this may sound strange to you, but I have to be in Cairo in thirty minutes and I was hoping that you would join me, but if you don’t feel comfortable with that, then you don’t have to join me.

Susan answered, No, no, that is fine, because I’ve never been to Cairo before and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Bill then escorted Susan to the Helicopter along with his associates and then they flew away toward the airport. After arriving at the airport, they all entered the plane and Bill sat down with Susan talking to her, So, Susan, I looked over your proposal and I am very impressed with it.

Bill continued, You are a very intelligent writer and I am seriously considering offering you a job as my personal secretary, that is, if you are interested.

I’m very flattered Bill, but you know nothing about me, and what if I’m not qualified to be your assistant secretary?

Don’t worry Susan, because I have had you checked out, thoroughly, and I know that you can do the job very well, and all I need is your answer of ‘yes, sir, I accept your offer.

Well, Bill, in that case, I do accept your offer, and I hope I can live up to your expectations.

Bill offered Susan a drink from his private bar and then Bill’s jet plane taxied out on the runway before soaring up into the blue sky through the clouds.

Susan was apprehensive about this flight because she barely knew this ‘Bill character’ and for all she knew, he could be kidnapping her, or even worse, doing her harm. Bill sensed her fears and thought he should comfort her again.

Are you getting nervous about being here, because if so, I can fly you back home?

No Bill, it is OK, but where are you taking me for that drink?

It is a surprise, but first you must dress up for this date.

If you need to buy a dress, I can take you to a clothing store once we land and I will buy you what you need.

Yes, that would be great Bill and thank you so very much.

Once they landed at Cairo International airport, Bill escorted her to his limousine, that was waiting at the curb and he told the driver, Drive Susan to a dress shop and buy her a cocktail dress, along with anything else that she wants.

While the Limousine drove away with Susan, Bill was busy with his associates, and preparing for his urgent meeting in the afternoon. After talking with his associates, Bill got into another limousine, and telling the driver to go to the dress shop where Susan was.

Bill arrived at the store just in time to see Susan stepping out of the dressing room wearing a nice formal dress, but Bill shook his head, telling her that dress was not the one. After trying on several more dresses, Susan finally immerged from the dressing room wearing a Black sequined evening dress that was cut low in the back, with diamond sequined studded diamonds along the front of the dress.

Bill smiled sweetly, Now that is the one that brings out the best for you.

Susan looked at the price of the dress, and seeing it was $50,000, she gasped, Oh Bill, this dress is way too expensive, and you really shouldn’t spend that much.

Now Susan, I told you that I am paying for this, so please just accept it, OK? And to go with the dress, you will need shoes and other accessories so pick out what you want.

Well, OK, Bill, but I cannot help, but think that this is a bribe of some kind.

Bill dismissed her comment by saying, "Well it isn’t, so gather up your purchases and get in the limo, because we have to leave now for the Hotel. Susan gathered up her purchases and got into the limo followed by Bill.

While the limo was driving toward the Hotel, Bill talked to her, Now Susan, we will be stopping at the Hotel shortly, and I want you to go on up to the Penthouse suite and relax there, until I arrive.

Bill continued, Just relax, take a bath, or do whatever you girls do to relax and feel free to feel at home.

They arrived at this very large building that looked more like a castle than a hotel, but the name on the building read, CAIRO HILTON HOTEL. As Susan was stepping out of the limo, Bill handed her an envelope telling her, Now go relax and enjoy and I will see you later. Susan looked in the envelope to see several 100 dollar bills inside.

Susan was met at the door by the Hotel manager, Hello Miss, here is the key to your room and if you will follow me, I will escort you to the elevator.

Susan thanked the manager as the elevator doors were closing and shortly, she stepped out into a very large luxurious room that was overwhelming. She set her things down before exploring the several rooms.

She saw very expensive paintings on the walls with elegant tapestry on the windows, with luxurious furniture set on a very expensive shag rug in the living room. She checked out the bathroom where she saw a large tub that was large enough for 10 people, she thought, but it was set up also as a Spa.

Susan was so anxious to try out the spa that she took her things into the bedroom and undressed. After running the warm water into the tub, she added some bubble bath, and as she could feel the warmth of the water vapors, she quickly slipped into the tub.

Susan slid into the tub, feeling the warm water tingling her from her toes up to her stomach as she entered the water, she felt an exciting sensation welling up in her stomach. The sensation was so great that she jerked as the fantastic orgasm swept over her.

Susan had never felt such a fantastic feeling before, but she was totally satisfied by the sensation. Susan closed her eyes enjoying every moment of this sensual feeling, until she fell asleep.

Susan slept for some time until suddenly she heard a voice near her, Susan, are you OK?

Susan opened her eyes to see Bill standing by the tub, and looking down at her, Don’t you ever knock? You embarrassed me, and you startled me, because I didn’t expect you back so soon.

I’m so sorry, Susan, so I will just step out of the room now, but I was concerned about you because you looked like you weren’t breathing.

Bill started to leave the room until Susan spoke, Wait Bill, I’m OK now. Why don’t you join me in the tub, because it is so large that we both can enjoy this fantastic bath?

Bill turned around looking at Susan, Are you sure you want me to share your bath?

Yes Bill, it will be all right, so just go get undressed and jump in with me. I promise I won’t look, and I will keep my eyes closed until you are in the water. So just go, before I change my mind!

"OK, Susan, I’ll be
