Chapter 3 The Interview

Reni stepped off the elevator, her heels clicking on the polished marble floor of the 30th floor. At 39, she was a striking woman, her auburn hair cascading down her back, her emerald eyes sharp and focused. She adjusted her black pencil skirt and crisp white blouse, taking a deep breath before approaching the reception desk.

"Reni Reeves, here for the interview with Mr. Shupto," she announced, her voice steady despite the nervous flutter in her stomach. It had been years since she'd interviewed for a job, not since her sister's death had left her to raise their niece alone.

The receptionist, a young woman with a tight bun and severe glasses, nodded. "Right this way, Ms. Reeves. Mr. Shupto is expecting you."

Reni followed her down a sleek hallway, the walls adorned with abstract art. The receptionist knocked on a large mahogany door before opening it. "Ms. Reeves is here for your 2 o'clock, sir."

"Excellent, send her in," a deep voice replied.

Reni stepped into the office, her gaze immediately drawn to the man behind the desk. He was young, perhaps 19, with chiseled features and piercing blue eyes. His dark hair was styled in a messy way that screamed wealth and privilege. He stood, extending a hand.

"Ms. Reeves, it's a pleasure. I'm Shupto, but you can call me Shupto." His smile was charming, but there was something in his eyes, a glint of something dangerous.

Reni shook his hand, surprised by the strength of his grip. "Likewise, Mr. Shupto."

"Please, have a seat." He gestured to the chair in front of his desk, and Reni sat, crossing her legs. Shupto's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he sat back down, steepling his fingers.

"So, tell me about yourself, Ms. Reeves. Why are you here?"

Reni took a deep breath, launching into her prepared speech. She spoke of her years of experience, her dedication, her ability to manage complex projects. But as she spoke, she could feel Shupto's eyes on her, intense and probing. It made her skin prickle, her heart race.

When she finished, Shupto leaned forward, his elbows on his desk. "Impressive credentials, Ms. Reeves. But I'm afraid there's one more question I need to ask."

Reni raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What's that?"

Shupto stood, walking around his desk to perch on the edge, directly in front of her. "Are you a woman who knows how to have fun, Ms. Reeves? Are you willing to do what it takes to get what you want?"

Reni's heart pounded. She knew where this was going, but she couldn't believe it. "I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Mr. Shupto."

Shupto's smile was predatory. "Oh, I think you do. You see, I have a reputation for being... particular about my employees. And I think you have the potential to be an excellent fit for my company. But I need to know that you're willing to go the extra mile."

He reached out, tracing a finger along her jawline. Reni shivered, her body responding despite her better judgment. "And what exactly does that entail?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Shupto's hand moved to the back of her neck, his fingers tangling in her hair. "It entails you, Ms. Reeves, and me. Right here, right now."

Reni's breath caught in her throat. She knew she should protest, should stand up and walk out. But there was something about Shupto, something magnetic and dangerous that drew her in. She thought of her niece, of the bills piling up, of the desperate need for this job.

Slowly, she stood, her body mere inches from Shupto's. "And if I say no?" she whispered.

Shupto's hand tightened in her hair, his face inches from hers. "Then I suppose you'll have to find another way to pay your rent, won't you?"

Reni's heart raced, her mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. But in the end, there was only one choice she could make. She leaned in, pressing her lips to Shupto's in a searing kiss.

Shupto growled, his hands moving to her waist, pulling her flush against him. His tongue delved into her mouth, demanding and dominant. Reni moaned, her hands fisting in his shirt.

Shupto broke the kiss, his breathing ragged. "On the desk," he commanded, his voice rough with desire.

Reni didn't hesitate, climbing onto the desk and laying back. Shupto wasted no time, yanking her skirt up and her panties down. He trailed kisses up her thigh, his fingers teasing her folds.

"Please," Reni gasped, her hips bucking against his touch.

Shupto chuckled, his breath hot against her skin. "Patience, Ms. Reeves. We have all day."

He lowered his head, his tongue delving into her depths. Reni cried out, her hands fisting in his hair. Shupto worked her with skill, his tongue and fingers driving her closer and closer to the edge.

Just as she was about to come, he pulled away, leaving her panting and desperate. "Not yet," he said, his voice a low rumble. "I want you to come on my cock."

Reni watched, trembling with need, as Shupto unbuckled his belt and freed his erection. He was long and thick, and Reni's mouth watered at the sight.

Shupto sheathed himself in her with one swift thrust, and Reni cried out, her nails digging into his shoulders. He set a punishing pace, his hips snapping against hers as he drove into her again and again.

Reni wrapped her legs around his waist, meeting each thrust with her own. The desk creaked beneath them, the sound of their bodies slapping together filling the room.

Shupto leaned down, his teeth finding her neck. He bit down, marking her as his own. Reni came with a scream, her body convulsing around him.

Shupto followed soon after, his own release pulsing deep inside her. He collapsed on top of her, both of them panting and sweaty.

After a moment, Shupto pulled out, tucking himself back into his pants. Reni sat up, straightening her clothes with shaking hands.

"So, do I have the job?" she asked, her voice hoarse.

Shupto grinned, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Oh, Ms. Reeves, you more than have the job. You've earned it."

Reni smiled back, a sense of relief washing over her. She'd done it. She'd secured the job, and in the process, she'd discovered a side of herself she never knew existed.

As she left Shupto's office, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for what the future held. She had a feeling that working for Shupto was going to be an adventure, and she was more than ready to take it on.
