"Tell me what you're wearing," His deep voice came through from the other end.
"A satin dress!" She answered, already getting turned on by his questions.
"Long or short?"
"Short."
"Perfect. Panties?" He asked.
"Yes"
"Take it off." He commanded. Mia felt a shiver run down her spine. But she obeyed. She adjusted herself and took off her panties.
"Done!" She replied, lying on her back.
"Good girl! Now close your eyes." He instructed.
Mia obeyed.
"Remember how you feel anytime I take your erect nipple into my warm wet mouth?"
Mia nodded her head at the memory. "Yes I do," she moaned.
"Put your index finger in your mouth, ensure you've got enough saliva on it, then slowly run that finger over your right nipple."
"Ahhhhhhh!" Mia moaned at the cold shiver she got from doing as Colton requested.
"Good job, baby. Keep going. You know those cute nipples of yours are one of my favorite parts of your body. Keep pleasuring them for me, my love. Don't stop until they are very erect and probably a bit red. Just like the way they look whenever I'm done sucking and teasing the hell out of them."
"That's my girl!" He commended when he heard a louder moan from her.
"Now repeat the same step for the other nipple." He instructed and she did just that.
"Ready for the next step?" He asked, She nodded. Remembering it was a voice and not a video call, she replied. "Yes, baby." Her breath was heavy.
"Good. Slowly caress your body down to your bikini area. Do it with the imagination of me showering soft kisses all over your body. Do not touch your pussy until I tell you so."
"Okay!" Mia swallowed painfully and got to work. The more she moaned, the more Colton spoke dirty to her which made her moan even more.
"Colt, please!" She said with her chest rising and falling.
"What do you want, my love?" He whispered seductively, trying to act all innocent.

Standing before the glass-walled window in his office, with his right hand tucked in his pocket and left hand holding his phone to his left ear, Colton Royal made conversations with the person on the other side.
A couple of minutes into the conversation, Colt heard someone enter his office without knocking. He tore his eyes away from the outside view before him, to take a glance at who that was. Upon seeing his younger brother, Caleb, badge into his office with a smirk on his face and both hands in his pockets, Colton threw him a glare, then turned his attention back to his phone call which took a few minutes.
Seeing that his elder brother was on the phone, discussing business, Caleb swallowed his words. He went straight to the visitors' area of the office which was opposite Colton's desk and comfortably took a seat on the couch as though he was the owner of the office. With one leg crossed over the other, he reached for his phone in his jacket pocket and decided to keep himself company with it.
Soon enough, Colt ended the conversation with the person he was discussing with. Turning around, he scoffed when he saw Caleb typing away on his phone with a sly smile on his face. He could bet on his life that his younger brother was chatting with some girl. Some girl who would eventually get her heart broken by Caleb Royal. As far as Colton knew, Caleb switches girlfriends just like the way he changes his shoes. One minute, he's so crazy over a lady, and the next minute, he's giving a million reasons why he's done with her.
Colton's voice came through, making Caleb look up from his phone. "Will you ever learn how to knock?" He said, making his way to his workspace. He placed his phone on the desk, then settled on the chair.
"Sorry bro, I got carried away!" He got up from where he was seated, then went to occupy the chair opposite Colton's desk.
"You give the same excuse every time!"
"C'mon Colt, Don't get all grumpy. We are brothers after all and it's not as if you've got anything to hide." He said without a care in the world.
"I'm the boss and I make the rules. Let this be the last time you come into my office without knocking. And if you know you can't knock, just stay away!"
"Damn, Colton! You're always so serious about everything." Caleb said in distaste.
"Why are you here?" Colt said, reaching for a file in his drawer.
"I came to check up on you. Just to make sure you are still alive and kicking. You work so hard so you need all the moral support you can get."
Colton exhaled. "I'm fine. Anything else?" He said, looking his brother in the eye.
"You want to get rid of me so bad?" Caleb arched a brow at his elder brother.
"Do I find you annoying? Yes, I do. And that's because you purposely do things that get me on the edge. I honestly appreciate you for checking up on me but work needs me now, Caleb" He gestured to the paperwork on his desk.
"So I take it that you're not going for Samantha's party," Caleb said.
"Theodore will kill me if I don't show up for his girlfriend's party. This party is literally what he's been talking about for weeks. I just need about an hour to wrap up what I'm doing. Then I'll be on my way. What about you? You're Sammie's friend. I'm sure she invited you." (Samantha's nickname is Sammie)
"She did but unfortunately, I won't be there. I've got a date tonight." He smiled.
"That's surprising to hear. You're ditching a party full of women for a date. This girl must mean a lot to you."
Caleb chuckled, "Not really. But I'm hoping you would take advantage of tonight. Enjoy yourself and get laid. It will make you less grumpy." He winked at Colt.
"I would never understand why you are so concerned about my private life," Colton said, typing away on the laptop before him.
The next thing Caleb said earned him a nasty glare from Colt. He leaned against his brother's desk and whispered to him. "Are you Gay?"
"Don't give me that look, Colton. I only asked a question." He said as if what he asked was a normal thing and wouldn't upset anyone.
Colton leaned back against the chair, folded his arms, with his eyes trained on Caleb. "What makes you think I'm gay?"
"You've not been in a relationship since Tina dumped you which was like six years ago, you act so indifferent whenever you're around women. You attend so many functions; Your position as the president of Royal empire has given you the opportunity to meet beautiful women of all shapes and sizes. They even go as far as throwing themselves at you and you don't even give them a second glance. How do you manage that if not that you've turned Gay?"
"I've helped Mom and Dad set up blind dates for you but you never showed up. Look, bro, I'm not telling you to get married now or knock up some girl even though Mom and Dad will be ecstatic about that since they are craving for grandkids. You also don't have to be a player like me but at least have fun and live life a little. Well, that's if you aren't gay."
"If you call me that one more time, you're going to regret it." Colton cautioned.
Caleb swallowed his words. Even though he loved to tease his brother, he knew when not to go overboard.
"Sorry if that offended you. I was just curious but I'm glad my suspicion was wrong." He smiled sheepishly.
"You're such a pain in the ass!" Colton scoffed. "I'll assign more responsibility to you. That way, you won't have free time to come to tease me in my office."
"You wouldn't dare!" Caleb glared at his brother. "I may be playful but you of all people should know I take my duties in this company seriously. I work hard and I also party hard. A win-win situation for royal empire and my sanity. You're the one who's being too hard on yourself. It's way past closing hours and you're still burying yourself with work." He gestured to Colton's desk.
"You should get going. You don't want to be late for your date. Do you?"
"You're no fun!" Caleb rolled his eyes as he rose to his feet. "I'll get going but I'm hoping you will make me proud tonight. I promise you a gift if you do. Have a lovely evening, buddy." Caleb smiled at Colt, then helped himself out of the most luxurious office of the building. (Colton's office)
Seeing Caleb shut the door behind him, Colton let out some air to calm himself. "Spoilt brat! He should be encouraging me to work harder instead of mocking me. I'll definitely add to his workload so he won't have time to tease me anymore." Colt mumbled, going back to work.
The next two hours were very productive for Colt. Seeing that it was almost 9 pm, he decided to call it a day. Since he was attending a party tonight and would probably get home late, he didn't bother to take any file home to work on. He reached for his essential items, then exited the office.
Stepping into his penthouse, Colton went straight to the bathroom. It took him only a couple of minutes to take a shower and dress up.
Soon enough, he was at the venue. 'Royal Restaurant, Lounge & Bar' One of the empires owned by Colton's family. They were in no way related to royalty in the literal sense but their financial status and family's reputation had earned them that status in the contemporary world.
The family owned hotels and restaurants with different branches in almost all the states in America. They were into real estate, they owned a winery as well as other investments.
The down floor of the big building was where the reception and restaurant were. The restaurant extended to the second floor. One had to make a reservation for at least a week before they get the opportunity to eat there.
The third floor was where the bar was located, different size lounges on the fourth floor and the rest of the floor served as VIP hotel rooms for guests.
Coming out of the elevator into the fourth floor, Colt located the lounge room number where Sammie's party was being held. Every part of the building and room was soundproof and decorated with the finest pieces of furniture and latest technology.
Two hefty bodyguards were outside the lounge, they both greeted Colton, then one of them opened the door for him. The private lounge was very big, enough to accommodate about thirty guests. The room was filled with people already, most were seated eating, drinking, and making conversations, some were standing in different parts of the room and only a few were dancing to the not-so-loud party mix.
The moment Colton stepped in, he knew he wasn't going to last there because he hated crowded places. He could feel seductive eyes on him but he ignored, trying to spot Theodore, his best friend, or the celebrant, Sammie. (Theo's girlfriend.)
Colt internally heaved a sigh of relief when he sighted Theodore. Theo waved at him with a smile on his face, then called his girlfriend's attention. He whispered something into her ear and they both approached Colton.
"Sammie was already worried that you wouldn't show up. I told her you wouldn't dare! Thanks for coming, man." Theodore pulled Colton into a hug. He chuckled, returning the hug.
"Happy birthday, Sammie. Thanks for making my best friend the happiest man on earth." Colt hugged her.
"Thank you!" She smiled, returning the hug.
"I'm glad you could make it. Now, where's my present?" She playfully glared at him after pulling away from the hug.
Colt stared at Theo who shrugged. He took out two tickets from his back pocket and handed them to Sammie.
"An all-expense-paid trip to the Maldives?! It's not even our honeymoon yet and you're sending us away!" Theodore said.
"Says the dude who hasn't even proposed yet!" Sammie rolled her eyes, earning a chuckle from Colton.
"Oh, babe! You know I would and I bet you won't see it coming."
"Whatever! Let's just hope another guy doesn't steal me."
"He wouldn't dare mess with me. You're mine only!" He snuck an arm around Sammie's waist and held onto her possessively.
Colton smiled at the duo. They've always been perfect for each other and he was happy for them.
"Thank you so much for the gift, Colt," Sammie said.
He smiled. "Don't mention."
Sammie nodded. "I just hope you will fulfill my wish soon."
"Your wish?" He arched a brow at her.
"Yes! Getting yourself a Girl. I can't wait for us to go on double dates, vacation, and all of that."
"Sammie!" Colton grumbled.
"Yes, Colt. It's high time. Don't you think so, babe?" Sammie looked at Theodore.
Theo nodded. "I don't know why I feel like it's my duty to find him a girl since I met you through him."
"There we go again." Colton rolled his eyes. It was true that he knew Sammie first. Apparently, he and Sammie weren't friends either. They were indeed enemies. They both bashed each other's car one day and as strong-headed as they both were, neither of them was willing to take the blame or apologize to the other person. They almost took themselves to court and that was where Theodore intervened.
"Seriously, guys. I'm fine. I'm getting tired of you all telling me to get a girl. Why do I need one when I'm okay being all by myself?"
"Yeah, I remember saying the same before I met Sammie. You haven't found someone that will sweep you off your feet."
"I agree!" Samantha said.
"You both are being irrational. There's nothing wrong in wanting to be alone."
Sammie shook her head. "No one deserves to be alone. Especially you." She handed the tickets to Theo and reached for Colton's arm.
"It's time for you to meet my girlfriends. You will love them." Without giving him the opportunity to say a word, Sammie dragged Colt to where her friends were.
Thirty minutes later.
After several excuses, Colton was able to escape from the so-called bondage he was in. Sammie introduced him to about nine of her friends and four of them kept him company, drooling over him. They made funny conversations but they were obviously throwing themselves at Colt which freaked him out.
Colton found a less crowded area and settled on the couch. There was a table beside him that was filled with drinks. He poured himself a glass, took slow sips, and kept himself company with the view before him. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Almost everyone was on their feet, dancing.
Suddenly, Colton felt a pair of eyes on him. He was used to people checking him out, most especially females drooling over him but there was something distinct about this stare.
Looking in the direction where the stare was coming from, his eyes met with hers. Immediately, She tore her eyes away from him and disappeared into the crowd.
That took Colt by surprise. He was used to people shamelessly drooling at him. But the fact that the stranger disappeared into the crowd made him curious.
Colton took a sip of his wine to calm himself. He waited for her to show up before him or something but she didn't.
Suddenly, he felt those eyes on him again but this time around, he had no idea where she was staring from. He looked around from where he was seated but couldn't find her.
Colt had no idea what came over him. He rose to his feet and decided to move around with the hope that he was going to find her.
With slow steps, passing between people who were dancing, he carefully searched for the mysterious lady. Sure, he could recognize her face, she had her hair in a high ponytail and she was putting on a short red dress.
Colton finally saw her but before he could approach her, she dashed into the restroom which was the closest place to hide.
The fact that she kept on avoiding him made Colt more curious about who the hell she was. He ran a hand over his neatly styled hair, and stood right outside the restroom, waiting for her to come out. The longer she took to show up, the more he was starting to lose his patience.
She finally appeared in exactly twenty minutes. Colt didn't give her any breathing space. The moment she stepped out, he grabbed her hand and led her out of the lounge. He saw a few people look their way but he couldn't care less.
"I mean no harm, please let me go!" Her pleading voice came through as she tried to wrestle off from Colton's hold but Colt wasn't having it. He continued to walk her down the hallway. As much as he didn't want her to escape, he tried not to hold on to her too tight, leaving a bruise.
Instead of taking the elevator, he decided to use the stairs since where he was taking her was just a floor above. And besides, people hardly used the staircase which was a good option as it would avoid them being seen by anyone.
"I'm so sorry, Sir. Please let me go. I promise I won't step into this building anymore." She said with a teary and sincere voice which made Colton stop in his tracks. They were halfway through the stairs.
He turned around and for the first time that night, he took a good look at her. Not only did she have stained tears on her cheeks, but her big blue eyes were also heavy with tears.
"I have no idea what's going on with you or what's going through your head but I believe we have things to discuss. And I give you my word that I'm not going to hurt you." With that being said, Colton continued to lead the way, not letting go of her hand.
They eventually got to the fifth floor and came to a halt before a room. Colton took out a key card from his pocket and opened the door. Once they were both in, he purposely did not lock the door so as not to freak the mysterious lady out.
"Why were you spying on me?" He asked bluntly.
"I wasn't." She responded immediately.
"Oh really?" Colton countered. He had always been a very watchful individual. Even though he had never wronged anyone on purpose, he knew he had enemies which he had to be careful of.
"Then why did you disappear into the restroom when I came looking for you?" He folded his arms. He was just a couple of steps away from her.
The tears the young lady had been holding back finally escaped her eyes but she was quick to wipe them away. Colton's heart got heavy seeing her that way. He didn't like the fact that she had cried and that she was still crying.
"Look, I don't know who you are or why you thought I would be spying on you. Please, don't make matters worse by wrongly accusing me. I already had the worst day of my life. I admit I was staring at you but that was because I needed your help."
He frowned "My help?"
She nodded slowly, sniffing.
"You don't know me but you need my help?" He voiced out, the confusion not going unnoticed in his voice.
"The fact that I don't know you makes you the perfect person to ask for help." She whispered, thinking of how she was going to pour out her heart to him.
"What do you want from me?" Colt asked, even though he didn't have a good feeling about all of it.
"Make me cum!" She answered immediately.
Colton stared at her in disbelief. "You put up all of this act so you could have your way with me?" He said but deep down, he was disappointed. He thought she was different from every other girl. With how much she had cried and when she mentioned that she just had the worst day of her life, he thought someone had annoyed her.
She dabbed the tears at the corner of her eyes with her fingers. "I'm sorry that came out blunt but I just wanted to get straight to the point." She justified. She didn't like the look of disappointment on Colt's face.
"Why should I make you cum? You are not even my type!" He said, looking deep into her watery eyes. "What if I'm gay?" He challenged her gut.
"You're not gay. I know one when I see one and you aren't. I know my request sounds ridiculous but I've never wanted anything so bad in my life as much as I want this."
"Look," she started tearing up again. "I just got dumped by Chris. I've known him for seven years and this night makes it five years that he asked me to be his girlfriend. He was my everything. I loved him even more than I loved myself. Heaven knows I would give my life for him in a heartbeat."
She sniffed, "Two weeks ago, he sent me a text that we were over. I found that very strange because we were good until then.
Well, two nights before the breakup text, he asked me for some money. Usually, I would give him every penny on me but lately, I've been really broke. So I told him I didn't have any. I had wanted to promise him that I'd give him the money when I got my pay by the end of the month but that was just not possible. His birthday was a month ago and I had to complete the payment for the gift I got him."
"I thought he ended things with me because I didn't give him the money. I called him, he didn't pick up my calls and neither was he replying to any of my text messages. We live at my apartment but he didn't come home that night. Asides from that, I noticed some of his stuff was missing. He probably took them while I was at work."
"Not only was I sad about the breakup, but I was also worried about his safety. I reached out to his friends but they had no idea where he was. I left him countless voicemails but no reply. I was more than ready to loan money from my colleagues at work so I could give it to him. Let's just say I was willing to do anything for Chris just so we could be back together." She wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her palm.
"I didn't hear from him until two days ago when he contacted me with another number. Words couldn't describe how happy I was. He told me he wanted us to see. He made it known he didn't want to come over to my apartment but he was fine with whatever venue I would pick."
"It occurred to me that today was our 5th anniversary so I had a good feeling about it all. I honestly thought tonight's encounter was going to be the start of a new era in our lives. I convinced myself that Chris had realized his mistake and obviously he would apologize when we see. I really wanted to make tonight special. And what better way to celebrate our 5th anniversary than dining here, the best restaurant in the city. Just to make sure everything turns out perfect, I made use of my savings. Since it was a last-minute booking, I had to pay three times the normal price just so myself and that douchebag could have a good time here."
"I bought him a gift too. I'm usually not this flashy." She pointed to her outfit. The short red dress which fitted her like a second skin. It accentuated her curves and showed just a bit of her cleavage. She was 5'4 and very endowed. Colton found himself staring at her body longer than he should.
"I'm a shy and reserved person but I wanted to look good for Chris tonight, hence the reason I bought my outfit for a ridiculous price. I also decided to do a makeover."
"To cut the long story short, it was all in vain. He came over to officially end it with me. He has moved on. He has found a rich babe who's good for him. He was obviously cheating on me all this while."
"I thought he was joking at first. But when I realized how serious he was, I pleaded with him not to break up with me. I apologized if I had hurt him in any way. I even promised to give him the money he had requested for but it was all in vain."
"What hurt me most was the fact that he bullied me. He shamed me for being so useless in bed. Even the couple next to our table could hear us. He said I'm unable to satisfy him in bed. He even called me broke when in reality I'm the one who provides him with almost everything."
"It's true that I live paycheck to paycheck but heaven knows I'd be living real good if I spent it all on myself. I can't believe he called me broke when he was the one who drained me financially."
"God, I'm such a fool!" She cried. Seeing how bad she was embarrassing herself before Colt, She turned her back to him and tried to calm herself.
