Love Assassin Chapter Two: Tools of the Trade
"DANTE!"
I just barely came out of the elevator when my secretary started towards me with a smile on her face. Penny had been working for me for the past two years and being dependable and loyal, she was able to earn my trust and friendship. At least, on the surface...
Because just like many other people around me, she had no idea of who I really was. Ruel and Madeline were the only ones who were privy to the fact that I moonlight as a professional heartbreaker and relationship assassin. They were the last people I was willing to let in... I just pretend to trust or show the "real" me to other people as a camouflage. Penny was one of those people. Her and other people's perception of me as a great boss and decent human being was my tool to get strangers to lower their guard. It's the power of word of mouth... strangers judge us not by the stories we tell them but by the gossips that other people say about us. Fortunately, I had a great talent in controlling perceptions.
"You're a bit early today?" Penny said as she handed me a cup of coffee. "Everything okay?"
"I just want to get a head start with the pending projects," I said as we walked to my office.
"Pending projects? But are we still working on the Johnson project?"
"I finished the code for that yesterday. I already uploaded the application to the server. Tell Marvin's team and the QA to have a final check then if everything's in order, inform the client so they can review the program."
I sat on my desk and boot up my computer. I glanced up to Penny who was staring at me with wide eyes.
"Are you okay, Pen?" I asked.
"You already finished the code? But the team assigned to that was just halfway through last week. You wrote the program all by yourself?"
"No. A house elf helped me," I said seriously.
"House elf?" asked Penny, confused making me laugh out loud.
"When's the last time you had a day off?" I asked.
My assistant looked at me pointedly. "Wow, you know what a day off is? That's surprising, seeing that you're the biggest workaholic I know."
"You know I don't have a life. I only live through you." I opened the current corporate projects list and counted five software development projects still in progress. "So, you better have a vacation soon."
"And how will you survive here without me?" she said with a smile. "You ready for the agenda?"
"Bong and Alex here yet?"
"I haven't seen them yet but you know those two... always thirty minutes late."
"Don't worry. I'll escalate your concern to the higher-ups," I joked.
She scoffed. Being the CEO, I was everyone's boss but Penny knew I rarely take Bong and Alex's daily tardiness seriously as long as they get their jobs right. Bong and Alex were my co-founders and ever since the company got big, they became more lax. I can't blame them seeing that they were both married with small kids and demanding wives that usually make my blood curdle every time I meet them.
"I just don't think it's appropriate that you, their boss, arrives in the office earlier than them," said Penny.
"Pen, the world will not end if those two don't show up in here. And they are co-founders... if it weren't for them, Mobius won't even exist," I said while fiddling with my computer.
"I doubt that. If you're talented enough that Nanosoft Corp. and Orange Computers tried to poach you more than once, I'm sure you could've founded Mobius even if those two lump heads--"
"Has anyone called for two lump heads?" a man's voice suddenly asked.
Looking up, I saw Bong enter my office, Alex right behind him. Penny frowned for the interruption.
"Do you have an appointment?" she asked acidly to Bong who just smiled at her.
"What's gotten into you, Peanut? You look tense today," Bong joked.
After years of working together, they already know how to handle each other quite well. Bong and Alex were brilliant computer engineers and often charm the clients to hire our company. Penny, despite her usual insubordinate behavior towards them, was very dedicated to the company and keeps everything running smoothly whenever Bong, Alex, and I were out of the office.
"Call me Peanut ever again and I'll cut off your peanuts," said Penny, glowering.
The room went silent for a few seconds then suddenly, we all burst out laughing.
"Okay, people. Keep it professional," I said with a smile. "Penny, put the claws away and you two, why are you in my office?"
"Just wanted to let you know that Mr. Hendri Chen called me over the weekend because he couldn't contact you," said Alex. "He's agreed to hire us to handle the installation and maintenance of his new call center. Plus, he agreed to use our proprietary software. I don't know how you do it Dan, but you're the man. Our first eight figure deal!"
Penny, Bong, and Alex started clapping but I wave them off.
"Guys, Mr. Chen hasn't signed a contract yet. The clapping's premature," I said humbly though deep inside I was smug. That deal was on the bag the first time I saw how Mr. Chen looked at me plus the fact that I charmed his pants off that night. "By the Penny, were you able to finalize the interview schedules for the new positions?"
"Yes, I already informed Human Resources," said Penny while checking her tablet. "The first batch will happen today... Daryll and Mary will handle the initial interviews. About ten applicants per batch. I cleared your schedule for Thursday and Friday so you can do the final interviews then."
"Why exactly do we need new employees, Dante?" asked Alex with a frown. "The programmers are handling all the projects well and your hoodoo completes everything else..."
I raised my eyebrows at him. "Hoodoo?"
"Just sayin'... I dunno how you can complete an app in five days without demonic assistance," said Alex, shrugging.
"I was just inspired that time. I'm probably not going to be able to that again anytime soon. Anyway, I think it's time for us to accept more work. More businesses are discovering the benefits of upgrading their systems and I also want to cater to small and medium sized enterprises. So, additional workforce is necessary."
"Fine, fine," said Alex. "If you say so."
"Now we have to set a date to celebrate the Chen contract," said Bong, scratching his beard thoughtfully. "I'm thinking either Boracay or Palawan."
"Get the paperwork signed first," I said. "Penny, set up a meeting with Mr. Chen. Tell them I can go to his office if that's more convenient."
"Okay."
"You two," I said to Bong and Alex. "I have a lot of things to do and according to the company agenda, both of you have somewhere to be, so get going."
Bong and Alex just shook their heads then walked out the door.
Penny stayed behind to give me that detailed updates on the current pending projects but I was just half listening. Vincent will be interviewed tomorrow... there was a lot of things that I cannot control during his interview and intervening may raise suspicions.
I reviewed his resume last night and despite not having any experience, his transcript and the letter of recommendations from his teachers were impressive. Based on my observation of his personality, Vincent's capable of charming people and I hope he will be able to make an impact to the HR department. But anything can happen...
I act calm and collected but putting too much on chance frustrates me.
"Penny," I interrupted her litany. "I want you to set up a camera in the interview room. I want the interviews to be recorded and streamed to my computer."
Looking at me like I suddenly grew another head, she said, "You're such a control freak. Don't you trust the HR?"
"It's not that. I just want to make sure that we don't miss any potential talents. Plus, it's been a while since we held a hiring... I want to prepare myself by seeing the applicants beforehand. And I want to test a software I've been working on for a while."
"A new software? I didn't get a memo for that..." said Penny scrolling wildly on her tablet, probably thinking she missed it.
"It's just a side project I'm doing. A stress test software that can analyze micro expressions and voice modulation using ordinary footage without the need of special equipment. The interviews can help gather relevant data."
After sighing, Penny smiled at me. "As always, you're five steps ahead. I'll set up the cameras."
"Don't tell HR the real purpose of the cameras... just in case the software don't pan out," I said.
Though, I had the idea for the stress test software weeks ago, I still hadn't started writing the software yet. I just needed a way to see Vincent's initial interview without making everyone suspicious and maybe find a way to justify hiring him in case he did not impress Human Resources.
"You got it."
My cell started ringing ad Penny went out to get started with her tasks. I checked the called ID and saw that it was Madeline.
"Hey, Mads! You're back?"
"Danny! Yes, just landed actually. You and Ruel want to meet tonight? I have exciting gifts from Paris!"
"What time?" I asked.
"How about we have a late dinner at my condo? I need to get some sleep and maybe get some groceries... knowing Ruel's appetite. Maybe around 9 PM?"
"Okay. I'll be there," I said. My office phone beeped. "Mads, I'll call you later when I'm on my way, okay? Duty's calling."
"Okay. See you later!"
"Later." I put away my cell and press a button on my office phone. "What is it Penny?"
"I have Mr. Chen's assistant on hold. She said Mr. Chen has another meeting in the Betroth Hotel will out of the office for the rest of the day. She's asking if you are willing to meet at the hotel this afternoon because Mr. Chen will fly to Hong Kong early tomorrow and won't be back until next week."
"Tell her I'll go to the hotel," I said with a small smirk. "And get the details of the meet."
"Okay, boss."
I leaned back to my chair and looked up to the painting on the right wall of my office. I may need to prepare myself... Mr. Chen's planning to wear me out tonight.
I parked my car and headed straight to the restaurant. After giving the maitre d' my name, I was escorted by one of the waiters to where Mr. Hendri Chen was waiting, sipping a glass of red wine and smile as he spotted me. I smiled back at him and offered my hand. He shook it firmly and held it a little longer than necessary. I sat down facing him, putting my briefcase aside. Mr. Chen chose a table at the far corner of the restaurant and an outsider would probably think that we were just two businessmen being cautious with our dealings; except, I knew for a fact that my client's intentions were more than professional.
"You made an impression to me, Mr. Jorvina," said Mr. Chen with his deep voice while pouring me a glass of wine. I smiled as I accepted the glass, brushing his fingers with mine.
"I hope it's a good one, Mr. Chen," I said taking a sip. I saw his broad shoulders shake a bit as he chuckle and stared at me with his intense grey eyes.
"You can call me Hendri if I can call you Dante. And I assure you, we wouldn't be here if your impression was anything other than... satisfying."
"Well, Hendri, I do everything I can to please my clients."
"Let me propose a toast then," said Hendri raising his glass. "May our partnerships bring us to unchartered but fulfilling horizons."
"Cheers."
He got the attention of the waiter and we gave our orders. Our conversation sounded purely professional for anyone who tried to eavesdrop but with little hints of flirtation. Hendri Chen was just a few years older than me but was highly intelligent and I enjoyed his word play, using business terms for innuendos with the aim to seduce me. I smiled seductively every time he joked about mergers, injecting investments, and penetrating new markets. Before our meal was over though, I had a signed contract in my briefcase and a slightly intoxicated tycoon in front of me.
"I seemed to have drunk much too many of this," said Hendri, tapping the tip of his glass.
"I'll help you up to your room," I said, my voice deep and firm. I saw Mr. Chen swallowed a bit as he nodded in agreement.
We stood up and walked towards the elevator. We arrived to his room and I noticed that Hendri was already panting slightly in anticipation so before the door could close completely, I dropped my briefcase and pushed his back roughly to the nearest wall then kissed his lips passionately.
He was a few inches taller than me and slightly broader but his well-muscled body melted as our lips touched, his knees buckled leveling his face to mine. My right hand was firmly pressing his chest flat to the wall while my left held the back of his neck. He moaned as my tongue explored his mouth, biting his lip every once in a while and squeezing his pectorals as though milking a virgin.
I let my left hand fall to his belt and undid his pants swiftly, letting them fall to the floor. I ceased kissing him and before his eyes can open to see why I stopping, I spun him to face the wall. The side of his face, chest, and knees hit the wall with a thump but I didn't care, I was busy yanking down his boxers to reveal a smooth but well-muscled ass. Hawking spit to my hand, I shove two fingers to his hole, making him yelp in combined pain and pleasure.
"Do you like that Mr. Chen?" I growled at his ear while I pushed my fingers in and out of his hole. "You like another man using you like a toy?"
His eyes were half closed and his mouth was slightly agape. He gave a slight moan in between his heavy breaths as I relentlessly opened up his tight asshole.
"You were a virgin the last time I used you... have you become a cockslut and let all your contractors fuck you like whore?"
"N-no... you're... the only one..."
"Good. I want my toys tight," I said adding another finger inside him. Hendri grunted and I smiled when he grimaced in pain. "I want them feeling every inches go deeply inside them."
I shoved my fingers in him roughly, faster and faster while Hendri's cries got louder. My fingers were starting to dry up but I did not stop. I alternated my pace, shoving deep, pulling out slowly then jabbing his hole relentlessly then slowing down again. I felt his body shaking but I pressed him hard against the wall to keep him from moving. For ten minutes of brutal fingering, Hendri cried and clawed the wallpaper every time I pressed his internal button.
"Ple... please... put it--"
"Fucking shut up!" I screamed angrily as I roughly pulled out of his hole and slapped his ass. His cries intensified on every hit. "Don't fucking tell me what to do, slut!"
I grabbed his long dick with my other hand and harshly milked it, scratching the head with my nails every one and again, tugging the hard shaft like a level. I noticed the wallpaper starting to peel away as Hendri went wild with the stimulation and his voice cracked a bit as he moaned and cried.
"The world may see you as a Wall Street wolf but if with me, you're nothing but a hole that needs filling."
Releasing my hold on his dick and pulling out of his asshole, I spun Hendri to face me. Yanking his dress shirt, button flew in every direction and revealed his firm torso. Now unsupported by my strength, he slid to the floor, panting in exhaustion. I unzipped my pants and fished out my hard dick. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I shoved my whole rod down his throat, forcing his muscles to open.
I heard him gagging but I did not stop long dicking his mouth, pushing in when he least expected it and pulling all the way out just to thrust back in hard. I didn't give him time to adjust to my rhythm, changing it again and again to feel his throat squeeze my dick as he choked on the large cock head. I took off my shirt and let my pants fall. After a while, I looked down and saw Hendri's face red with effort to breath and drenched with spit, snot, and tears.
"Open your eyes," I ordered while continuing my assault. As he looked up I said, "This is what you really want. To give up control... you don't have to think, all you need to do is to serve."
Hendri couldn't answer, not even nod his head as my hard thrusts prevented his head from moving between my dick and the wall. I continued to break his tonsils for another five minutes before pulling out and looking down the tycoon.
His broad chest was heaving; his six pack tense and firm. His eyes were close but his mouth remained wide open, expecting, craving my large dick. I stood over him silently, watching his steel hard cock twitch in the air. A wealthy and influential man sat abused and worn at my feet... but the night was still young.
I crouched down and held Hendri's cheeks gently. He opened his eyes and he saw my soft stare.
"You did well," I said then proceeded to kissing his lips tenderly.
Our tongues dueled as my hands went down to his chest and tweaked his nipples. He shivered as I pinched and pulled the hard nubs while my lips passionately sucked his. After a while, I directed his head to my chest and as though by instinct, his tongue darted to my nipples, licking and sucking them gently. Hendri's arms went to my back, holding on to me as though clings for dear life as he bathed both my tits.
I grabbed a handful of hair and used it to direct his sucking, pushing and pulling on the scalp like non-verbal communication. He learned fast, understanding my desires and even moaned when I directed his mouth to my armpits. I let go of his head and let myself moan as he lovingly bathed both my underarms, alternating with my nipples and abs. He worshipped my torso and slicked it with saliva, like a dog with a bone.
I stopped Hendri after a while and rose to my feet. He remained on the floor, looking up like a sad puppy. I gave him a smile and motioned him to stand. We stepped out of our pants and I directed him to the bed then pushed him to lie on his back. I spotted the condom on the bedside table. I unwrapped it and put it on quickly. As I kneeled on the bed, Hendri automatically opened and pulled back his legs, giving me access to his hole.
Ever so gently and almost lovingly, I pushed my hard dick inside him. I went in very slowly to make him feel every inch and every vein. Hendri's thrashed side to side as my cock penetrated him but he held his legs up without fail. I started thrusting in and out of him, varying my speed and thrusts. Hendri was grunting deeply as I slowly long dicked him when Vincent's face flashed in my mind.
I imagined the college hunk under me, holding his legs up, grimacing and grunting like Hendri, undecided whether he wanted to stop the pain or continue loving the pleasure. I started to speed up my thrusts as Vincent's face melded with Hendri's in my mind.
The hole around my dick started to spasm, multiplying my pleasure as it squeezed my rod. Hendri's body was going wild while he let me ravage his asshole as I started pounding with all my might, hitting his prostate in every thrust. And without touching himself, Hendri bucked up and down the bed as his cock exploded all over his face, chest, and stomach. Without pause, I continued fucking his hole and grabbed his hips tightier as he squirmed under me.
"Are you ready for me?" I growled at him. "Are you ready for your reward?"
"Fuck, Dan! FUCK!"
I thrust hard and deep to his ass, my cum threatening to burst the condom around my dick. As I spurted, Hendri jerked again and again as I gave deep short shoves to his hole. Imagining Vincent's face as I came, I bit my lips and let my dick twitch inside Hendri. I let my body fall on top of him and our lips met. Exhausted, the kissed felt gentle... intimate.
Hendri let me lay on top of his body for a while, stroking my back, and sucking on my lips. After a few minutes, I rose to my knees and looked down at him to see the tycoon smiling at me.
"My investment is so worth it," Hendri said with a tired smile.
I grinned at him as I pulled out of his hole. He moaned, almost whined, when my dick finally came out.
"Client satisfaction is my top priority," I said as I went to the bathroom.
