Cake Love: All Things Payne(28)

Her dazed expression when she lifts her head causes me to smile.

"Please f*ck me Henrik," Morgana begs and I always long to hear her mutter those words, but tonight we need our sleep.

"Not tonight Sweetcakes. Tonight was to make up for the lousy shit I have been. Maybe tomorrow we can play."

She lazily grins at me and I take her hand in mine and kiss her palm, willing Captain Cock to give me a break just for tonight. I help her to her feet and undress her. We curl up in the soft white linen bed and I do what I should have done yesterday afternoon, spoon her until we are fast asleep.

Payne's Rule Five: There are always answers to every question, find them

We have been in London several days and depart tomorrow, but the major issue of distribution has yet to be solved. Our final meeting of the day has just wrapped up and all the people left in the small mundane conference room are the Mimir brothers, Morgana, Evaleen (which I still can't figure out why she is here), Kara, and John. The British team has left to get to another meeting across town.

"It doesn't make sense. It's as if not just the EU government, but especially the British government, doesn't want any foreign business on their soil," Jacob Mimir bellows out with his baritone voice.

Edgar may be my best friend, but Jacob has always been the big brother I never had. There is no other man on Earth that I look up to the way I admire him. When my family died he made sure I came to his house on holidays and every weekend for dinner so I have a 'family' to visit. When my previous assistant (the bitch who will remain nameless) accused me of sexual harassment, Danni, Jacob's wife of ten years, refused to take no for an answer when she asked me to stay with them until it all blew over.

So, if this has Jacob dumbfounded you better believe that everyone in this room is just as confused and worried. If we can't have a distribution center in Europe and Great Britain, then a third of our profit for the entire company will go down the drain. This is the stuff that not only cements job loss, but has the potential to destroy us.

"I've been discussing this with our lawyer, Mr. Hatter, and the British solicitor here, and they can't find anything that might help," Evaleen points out. I narrow my gaze at her. She lifts her middle finger to scratch her nose and looks at me. That's it; I'm calling a spade a spade.

"Can I just ask why Ms. Bechmann is here on this trip? Last I’d checked she is the head of HR. Are we hiring someone that I don't know about?"

I glance around the table. Jacob looks equally confused while Edgar's eyes widen and he glances over at Evaleen. They share a look and I suddenly get it. They are doing it. Holy shit balls, they are making the monkey sex.

I am so going to call this out. Wait, wait, I can't do that. Shit! I finally have something on Evaleen and I can't even use it against her. Ugh, this is maddening, like an itch in the middle of my back.

Let me explain, Evaleen was nice enough to forge some paperwork for me to get Morgana hired again when I got her fired back in the winter. Morgana has no idea this happened. In fact no one found out about how Evaleen walked in on Morgana and I about to have sex on my desk. Ms. Bechmann lied to the Mimir brothers and told them there was a possible leak of sensitive information that came from my desk. She didn't specify that leak was actually coming from my penis...ba da dum! Well, I thought that was funny.

She said we had to be put on leave without pay until an investigation could be made. So I owe her big time and it looks like this is payback.

I bring my finger to my temple and tap it. I flick my eyes between the both of them and mouth, "I know" to her. Evaleen covers her face and bows her head. Ha! I got her.

"Yeah, why are you here Ms. Bechmann? I'm a little curious myself." Jacob turns his attention to her.

Shit. Well looks like I better clean up her mess.

"I'm sorry Jacob, I forgot that Ms. Bechmann came along to help coordinate with HR here regarding individuals working in both locations and their taxation."

Jacob nods his head, providentially cutting me off before I ran out of buzzwords.

"Oh, okay. Let's dismiss for the evening as we all have a long flight back tomorrow. I find if I step away from a problem for a bit, a solution usually presents itself. I hope that is the case here."

We get up and make our way out and I slide up along Evaleen.

"Ms. Bechmann, there is something different about you today. It's as if you are glowing and I mean that in a non-sexual harassment sort of way."

I wink at her as she huffs. “I might say the same about you, Payne. This whole week you have been practically dancing with good humor. It seems London agrees with you.”

Most of the group keeps giving us odd looks. Pleasantries are not our usual form of conversation, especially to each other.

I lean in so only Evaleen can hear, “We are square.”

"Fine," she mumbles as we file into the elevator. It's packed and lucky for me Morgana is pushed back into me. Captain Cock starts to salute her ass and I bring my mouth to her ear. Closing my eyes I breathe her in.

"I'm going to f*ck you tonight. First you will feast on my cock while strapped to the bed, and then I have a little surprise that I think you will enjoy," I whisper in her ear while opening my eyes back up.

She visibly shivers when I stand straight as my dick twitches, as if giving me a high five.
