Cougar Awakening Read online

  Sean stumbled from his seat and fell into the one Jana had vacated. “M-m-Ma’am, I didn’t mean any disrespect. I’m just trying to save this company some money.”

  “Really, that was your objective here? Actually I’m somewhat surprised. Did you just get out of school Sean, or are you coming to us from a previous employer?”

  “No, yes, I graduated from school a couple of months ago, tested and obtained my CPA credentials almost simultaneously, but have been working as an accountant for quite some time for the company I work for now.”

  “Have you ever worked inside a company you supported, like you’re planning to do now?”

  “No, I’ve only provided financial reports to the companies we’ve worked for.”

  “That’s what I thought. I’m going to lay it out for you very carefully. In this company I call the shots. In this company the reports Mike specifically designed for my management’s use are exactly what I want and what I’m willing to pay for. The financial reports you have included in these folders are for my use only, most of my staff, excluding Charlie, never see them. I would, however, like you to start sending all to Cheryl as she is my next in command, effective immediately. All that said; do we understand each other?”

  “Yes, I think so. You want the reports Mike designed for your division heads and the full financial reports should be provided to you and Cheryl once a month.”

  “No weekly, monthly, quarterly and as needed.”

  “Yes, as needed, anything else?” he desperately wanted out of the room and to be alone.

  “No, that’s all. I hope you’ve learned a valuable meeting lesson today-know your audience.” Jana left the room.

  Sean leaned to Charlie, “She’s a tough one.” he whispered. That last look she gave me was the kind of expression one might see on the face of a cat. But there would invariably be feathers involved, he cringed.

  Charlie smiled, “You don’t know the half of it. She was actually gentle, by some standards.” Charlie noticed beads of perspiration on Sean’s lip and forehead. So young and so stupid, he’ll learn, unfortunately the hard way it seems.

  Seven

  As Jana changed into a light, linen summer dress, she couldn’t stop the day’s activities from running through her mind. Firing folks was not her forte. The intercom buzzed again. I hate that thing. “Yes Charlie.”

  “Craig’s on the line, he says it’s important.”

  “That’s what he always says, but I’ll take it,” she grimaced.

  “Craig, two calls in the same day, people are going to talk.”

  “I know you’ve had a rough day, and I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. I wanted to tell you I’d hired Daryl. I didn’t want you to hear it from someone else.”

  “That was quick, but it begs the question, why? Why would you want to hire someone without the balls to do what is ethically correct? Or one that was so easily led down the primrose path by slime like Mark?”

  “Daryl is different. He made a mistake, and since you hadn’t paid him yet fraud was not exactly perpetrated.”

  “I wouldn’t take that one to the bank if I was you, but your company is your business. Let me make something perfectly clear though. My company will have no dealings with Daryl. If that happens, even once, I’ll take my business elsewhere. Do I make myself perfectly clear?”

  “I understand and it won’t be a problem.”

  “Better not be.”

  “Jana, I also want to apologize for the call this morning. You’re right; your personal life is none of my business.”

  Jana wasn’t going to fall for that ploy, “If there’s nothing else, I’m getting ready to leave for the day, I have dinner plans.”

  “One more thing, I got a call from Detective Monroe; he wants to talk to me about Mark. Monroe said Mark told you I was having an affair with one of our employees.”

  “That’s not important Craig; you no longer owe me any explanations.”

  “Agree, but I wanted you to know Mark was lying. I told Monroe that as well. It never happened. Monroe also asked me to pass on, though I think he said he left a message on your voice mail, that Mark is out on bail and you should be careful. Mark is angry.”

  “Thanks Craig, I’m glad it wasn’t true. I didn’t believe him, but you never know. As for Mark, I’ll be careful, take care Craig,” Jana hesitated as she hung up the phone. She was glad he hadn’t had an affair, but it didn’t really matter anymore. Running a comb through her hair, fluffing it here and there with her fingers, she walked out of her office and met Mike as he entered her foyer. “I hope you’re hungry because I’m starved.” Linking her arm in his, she waved good-bye to Charlie. As they approached the waiting Lincoln Town Car, the chauffer opened the back door for them. Jana slid across the seat to the middle and snuggled next to Mike. He put his arm around her and held her close. “I know you’ve had a rough day, so let’s not talk about work, let’s just enjoy the evening.”

  “I’m all for that. The Bonefish Grill, please Steven.” Raising the window between the seats to allow her and Mike privacy, she turned and nibbled on his lips. “I’ve missed you.”

  Mike couldn’t believe how natural all this felt. He moved his hand slowly under her dress, caressing her thigh and working his fingers into her wetness. Jana nibbled on his neck as he moved one finger, then two, then three into her. He felt her climax building, and he matched stroke for stroke with the intensity of her shifting hips as she met him. Jana shuddered and Mike was amazed to find that after she came so powerfully and thoroughly she didn’t need to stop and rest. It was like defying gravity.

  She smiled at him and began making love to his mouth, leading their tongues into an intimate tango as she unzipped his pants, stroking his erection. Mike moaned as she continued to run her hand up and down his length. Jana leaned down and ran her tongue along his engorged member. She licked, nibbled, and sucked with precision, knowing exactly what to do.

  Mike moaned. Oral sex, in the back of a limo, with a vivacious woman, my date, oh God, I’m going to come. Jana felt his climax and as he came she licked every drop from his manhood. “That was the ultimate,” he whispered.

  “Just consider it an appetizer,” she smiled as she sat upright, took out a breath mint and popped it in her mouth.

  Mike was entranced as she freshened her lipstick, watching her apply the creamy red coloring to her full lips. He imagined the touch of her lips across the tip of his cock as she brushed her lips back and forth to evenly spread the color. When she licked her lips to add an additional sheen it was almost his undoing. I never thought a woman putting on lipstick was erotic, man was I ever wrong. He stifled a groan as he attempted once again to squelch the desire building between his legs.

  As the limo pulled to the curb, Steven hurried around and opened the door, smiling at Jana when she exited. “Give me a call, Ma’am, when you’re ready to go, I’ll be close by.”

  “Thank you, Steven, please get something to eat as we’ll be a couple of hours I’m sure.”

  As Jana and Mike walked into the restaurant, Mike informed the hostess that they had reservations and within seconds they were led to a private, secluded corner booth. “Thanks, I couldn’t have done better myself,” he said as he pressed a ten spot into her palm. The waiter immediately approached the table and without hesitation Mike ordered Jana a Pomegranate martini and himself a beer.

  She reached across the table and pressed her hand to his. “You got that down quick,” Jana laughed. “I was married for thirty plus years, and no matter where we went for dinner I always had to order my own drink. Granted it has only been recently that I’ve taken to drinking martinis, but still, it’s nice that you knew what I drink. But how do you know, since we’ve never been to dinner before tonight?”

  Mike grinned, “I asked Charlie what you liked to drink.” The waiter asked what they wanted for dinner and again Mike ordered an appetizer and dinner for both of them.

  “I’m impressed,” Jana said
, “and did your pre-date reconnaisance include my favorite meals?”

  “Charlie told me you really prefer fried fish better than grilled, but that you really liked their Coconut Crusted Shrimp appetizer and their Alaskan Halibut with breading on it. I called earlier and arranged to have both ready when we got here.”

  “He’s right about that. I think it’s my Midwest upbringing. I do like fried foods, and fish is no different. Here they do some nice breading, and I’ve found that I prefer it to the heavier fried selections I normally ask for.” Over dinner they talked about everything and nothing, enjoying each other’s company, more drinks and ultimately shared a dessert of Crème Brule.

  It was a nice evening with a young lover, and Jana was enjoying herself immensely. The ride over hadn’t been bad either she smiled to herself. I don’t usually perform oral sex; although I certainly don’t mind it being performed on me. Mike seemed to like it, at least he didn’t complain. He was satisfied, and he’s brought out the bolder parts of my sexual nature. “You’re welcome to spend the night with me if you like,” Jana lifted her eyes waiting for Mike’s response.

  “I can’t, not tonight. I promised my mom I’d stop by. I have some stuff in my car I need her to hold until I get a place in Las Vegas and she can ship the boxes to me. They are leaving in the morning and won’t be back before I leave. You could come with me, and then I could take you home,” he suggested.

  “No, I don’t think that’s a good idea, taking me home to meet your mom and dad probably wouldn’t be easily understood.” She laughed at the thought. “Hell I’m not sure I’d understand it. Let’s call it a night and I’ll meet you tomorrow at noon, my office. Bring your suitcase and we’ll leave from there for the airport and our Vegas get away.”

  “Sounds like a plan,” Mike said. “I’ll take a cab back to the office to get my car. You can take the limo and go on home, that way you don’t have to go out of your way to drop me off.”

  “It’s not out of the way,” Jana smiled, “I was hoping we could continue our little discussion in the car.”

  “Jana, you’re killing me,” Mike moaned

  Jana laughed, “Allow me to make an executive decision. Leave your car in the parking garage; your stuff is safe there. Tomorrow you and Charlie can bring the boxes upstairs to my office and put them in the storeroom. When you’re ready for them Charlie will send them to you. How does that sound?”

  “Are you sure? I don’t want to put you or Charlie out. I would like to be with you tonight but I don’t want to impose.”

  “I wouldn’t have suggested it if I wasn’t willing. Call your folks and tell them you’ve made other plans and wish them a safe trip. Then join me for the evening. Remember our days together are ticking by and I really would hate to miss out on any opportunities that are available to us.”

  Mike dialed his parent’s home and Jana listened to the one sided conversation. “Mom, I’m not going to bring the boxes by - my boss says they’ll store and ship them for me when I get my place - No it’s not a problem for them; it’s part of their service.” He smiled shyly. “Sure mom - I’ll be sure and thank them. You and dad have a safe trip. Give me a call when you get back. Yes same cell phone number. Love you too, bye.” He smiled at Jana. “It wasn’t exactly a lie.”

  “No, it wasn’t and I’m glad I’ve been able to lure you into my den for yet another night of sex and debauchery.” His face turned bright red as she laughed and hugged him. “You are priceless, let’s get the hell out of here.”

  The ride to Jana’s condo was quiet and uneventful, even though she had alluded to more. Yes, she’d draped her legs over his and yes, he’d been massaging and playing with her thigh, but in actuality she’d made no further advances, and he had opted to go along for the ride refraining from further intimacy. They relaxed together and enjoyed the 40 minute ride to her condo in quiet. Every once in a while she would lean over and kiss him, or let him kiss her. Mike hurt, he was swollen and he was sure she knew it, as she seemed to shift her legs just enough to brush his manhood, making it throb even more. Steven informed them the condo was coming up and Jana shifted her legs to the front of the seat. She leaned over and kissed, massaging his erection and making it harder, if that was possible. He whimpered and she placed her finger on his lips, “I’ll take care of this very soon now.”

  “God, I hope so,” he whined.

  Jana thanked Steven for his services and she walked directly in front of Mike as they entered the condo, preventing anyone from seeing his obvious erection. She unlocked the door and before he could close it she attacked. “You’ve fed me, you’ve let me rest, and now I need sex, pure unadulterated sex. Can you handle that?”

  “Without a doubt.” He lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom, tossing her on the bed.

  Jana began to remove her dress, “Bet I can get naked before you do.” But she was wrong, Mike was already naked and she’d missed the whole thing. “Can we at least turn down the bed?”

  “Okay, but you better hurry or I won’t be responsible.”

  Jana threw the coverlet back in one swing, easing onto the bed as Mike joined her. “I didn’t think we’d ever make it. God, I’ve missed this.” She eased her body next to his, allowing his erection to fill her.

  There was no foreplay; they’d been doing that since they got in the car. He needed to be inside her, to feel her climax around him. Jana took his tongue in her mouth, lavishly circling it with her own. He liked what she was doing, liked it so much he felt a further stirring in his loins, and he automatically reached out to caress her face. He placed his hand on her breast, touching the softness, making small circles around the hardened nipple. Jana was moaning as Mike slid his erection into the folds of her sex. She was so wet and ready he couldn’t believe it. She shuddered as she reached her climax, exploding over and over in a series of orgasms. He held her close and waited for the tremors to subside. Mike had never felt such release from a woman. Before he could finish his climax he felt Jana reach another orgasm, rocking her body from head to toe. Totally spent, they collapsed in each other’s arms.

  As Jana eased into a quasi sleep Mike continued to massage and kiss her body. He nibbled on her neck and felt her move closer to him, encouraging his contact. Mewing, she wrapped her arms around him massaging his back, neck, and running her fingers through his hair. Mike moved to her silk heat, inhaling the smell of sex that rose from her. As Mike kissed and licked her female lips Jana opened her legs further. Oral sex, the ability to bring a woman to orgasm with his mouth alone was one of his biggest fantasies; he hoped he was doing it right. Jana moved his head slightly to the left and up just a bit, giving him encouragement as she urged him on. She moaned as Mike brought his hands up to fondle her breasts while his mouth devoured her sex. Her sexual pleasure was his goal, and he felt he was close. The stimulation of her breast seemed to be helping.

  “Yes, yes, don’t stop, please don’t stop,” she purred.

  Mike felt like he was in control, in charge, he could actually understand how Jana felt when she was on top. He was erect once again, and once she reached her peak, which he knew was approaching he intended to take it to the next level. Jana shuddered down to her toes, not once, not twice but three times. She began to relax, but Mike moved up quickly capturing her legs and hooking them around his waist as he lifted her and placed her on his erection. Jana’s eyes opened in shock, but she smiled and began to move with him. Their mouths met and again their tongues became serpents of passion and desire. Close to climax, Mike pounded into her, forcing her to cling to him. Jana began to orgasm and they peaked together. “Jana that was unbelievable. I can’t seem to get enough of you.”

  “Since I don’t plan to go anywhere in the near future, partly because I am physically exhausted, just wake me when you’re ready to go again. I’m pretty sure I can keep up.” She smiled as she nestled into him, relaxing her legs, leaving him inside her as she lulled to sleep.

  “Jana?” Mike whispe
red.

  “Yes, love.”

  “What kind of sheets are these?”

  She opened her eyes to see if he was serious. “Sheets? Are you serious?” We just had earth shaking, over-the-top sex and he wants to know what kind of sheets I have? “They’re thousand count Egyptian cotton sheets; almost satin in texture, but they’re cooler to sleep on than satin, at least in my opinion.” She scrunched her eyes, trying to focus on Mike.

  “If you remember, tomorrow will you tell me where you get them?” Mikes’s hand stroked the sheet between them. “ They’re the softest things I’ve ever slept on, and something I definitely want for my new apartment.”

  “Okay, yea, tomorrow.” This young man is amazing, and just downright cute. He fucks my brains out, and then wants to shop for sheets. For a second night they blissfully fell asleep in each other’s arms.

  Jana woke to the ringing phone. “Yes, hello, whoever the hell it is, and it better be good.”

  “Jana, this is Charlie.”

  Startled, she sat up in bed; fully awake. “Charlie, what’s the matter,” She looked at the clock; it was 4:00 a.m. and she knew something was wrong.

  “Are you alone, Jana?”

  “Um-not exactly, what’s up, what’s wrong, tell me.”

  “It’s Mark, Jana. He blew his brains out. He left a suicide note saying he couldn’t live with what he’d done to the company, to you, or to his family. He even apologized to Craig for lying.”

  “Shit! Shit! Shit!” She looked at the clock again. “How’d you hear about this, at this time of night?”

  “Detective Monroe was trying to get in touch with you and the switchboard directed his call to me. I advised him I’d call you and let you know. He also called Craig. Oh, there’s something else.”
