Chapter 25: Jake's disciplinary
I arrived at work at around 10am. Laura was already there setting up. I wasn't sure what to expect today. Jake had told me that he was in for his disciplinary with James. I imagined it would be very different to my own disciplinary, but I never really knew with James.
"Morning Laura" I said smiling at her. I felt happy today, like I had just woken up from a dream. I think hiding things from Alex was effecting me more than I realised, and now that he was on board it was easier. He seemed to be into it too, even if it took me pushing him a little.
"Good morning Lily," Laura said brightly, her blonde hair tied back neatly into a bun.
"Have you seen James yet?" I asked curiously, looking around the bar for any sign of him.
"Yes, he's out the back," Laura answered, glancing over her shoulder towards the door.
"What sort of mood is he in?" I asked, wondering what would happen with Jake's disciplinary. Laura shrugged, her shoulders lifting slightly.
"Hard to say, he's been pretty quiet." Laura replied, her voice neutral.
"Do you think they're going to let Jake stay after his disciplinary?" I asked her, I was curious about how James would handle the situation.
"I don't know, Lily. He's pretty unpredictable when it comes to matters like this. Maybe he'll let Jake off easy, maybe he won't." Laura answered, shrugging again. I nodded, thinking about the possible outcomes.
James could be lenient with Jake, but he also could decide to punish him severely.
We set up and opened up the bar. It was a quiet morning with a few regulars popping in, we weren't expecting it to be a busy day.
James stayed in his office and I left him alone. The experience with Alex at the weekend had left me unsure of how to approach him. I thought it was best to let him dictate what happened next.
At 12pm Jake walked through the doors. He was smartly dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark trousers. He had a confident air about him, a mix of excitement and apprehension. He nodded at me, and I smiled in return, trying to appear relaxed despite my nerves. We both knew what today meant for him.
Laura ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Good luck, Jake!" She exclaimed enthusiastically. He grinned broadly, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"Thanks, Laura. I appreciate it," Jake replied, his voice full of confidence. Laura nodded, smiling widely.
"Good luck Jake," I added, offering him a reassuring smile.
Laura and I continued serving at the bar, making small talk while waiting for them to finish. The atmosphere remained tense as we all wondered what would transpire during the meeting.
An hour passed, Jake finally emerged from James' office.
"How did it go?" Laura asked, leaning forward in anticipation.
Jake shrugged, his face betraying no emotion. "It went well. James has decided to give me another chance."
There was a palpable sense of relief among the staff. Even though James was known for his unpredictability, he often rewarded those who showed loyalty and promise.
"That's great news, Jake! Congratulations!" Laura exclaimed, giving him a warm smile.
Jake smiled back, his eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you, Laura." Laura walked over to serve a customer, leaving me and Jake standing together.
"He said I can't fuck you on the premises anymore," Jake whispered, a devious smile playing on his lips.
I rolled my eyes playfully, "Then we'll have to find somewhere else," I whispered back, teasing him.
"So are we celebrating tonight?" Jake inquired, his eyes gleaming with mischief. I nodded, feeling a thrill run through me at the prospect of having later. I hadn't realised how much I'd missed him.
"Definitely." I responded, my heart racing with anticipation. "Alex might be joining us" I whispered, my eyes locked with his.
"Is he keeping an eye on you?" Jake asked, his tone light-hearted.
"Something like that" I replied, attempting to sound nonchalant. "Come here and take a photo with me." I pulled him closer to take a selfie together.
As we stood close, our bodies pressed against one another, a spark ignited between us. I could feel my body responding to his touch. My nipples hardened underneath my clothes. I ached for his touch.
"I better go before I break James' rule" he joked, his eyes fixated on mine. "I'll be back this evening. Can't wait to catch up with you properly" he gave me a wink and walked away.
I watched him leave, admiring his figure as he strutted out of the room. I couldn't help but notice how his muscles flexed as he moved, accentuating his power and sex appeal.
"I'm glad he's staying" Laura said, she was right behind me. I'd been too focused watching him leave. "Not enough eye candy in here" she nudged me playfully.
"Ha ha," I laughed, playing along. "You gotta admit he's something." Biting my lip.
"Yeah, I'd fuck him," Laura admitted, still smiling. "I bet Alex doesn't like him" she added casually.
"Alex isn't the jealous type" I replied, thinking about the last couple of days. Laura went back to work and I decided to send Alex the picture of me and Jake. I thought it would wind him up a bit. I sent him the photo, hoping it would stir up some jealousy. It would make our evening together more exciting. Alex was good at being open-minded and not getting too worked up over these types of situations. Still, there was always something thrilling about testing boundaries and seeing how he reacted.
After closing up the bar, I went home, taking a hot shower to get ready for the night ahead.
As I scrubbed my skin, my thoughts drifted to the encounter with Alex earlier that day. He had seemed excited by the idea of exploring new possibilities, and the thought of us sharing such an intimate experience filled me with anticipation. I lathered my breasts, enjoying the sensation of water streaming down my chest. I closed my eyes, allowing myself to imagine the feelings that might arise as we delved deeper into this new chapter of our relationship.
Once I was clean and dressed, I made my way to the rendezvous point where Alex and I were supposed to meet.
I glanced at my phone for the time; it was almost nine o'clock. The anticipation was gnawing at me, and I couldn't stop imagining the scenarios that awaited us.
I reached the place and immediately spotted Alex sitting at a table in the corner. He caught sight of me, and his eyes widened in surprise. I felt a surge of excitement coursing through me as I neared him. He looked absolutely stunning in his casual attire. I couldn't help but admire his beauty.
"Hey," I greeted him, sitting across from him.
I couldn't help but grin at him mischievously.
His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Why are you acting so weird?"
Without saying a word, I slid my phone across the table. On the screen was a provocative photo of me and Jake, our faces close together, sharing an intimate moment. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he quickly deleted the image.
"Are you serious?" he murmured, his voice strained.
"Relax, babe," I said soothingly, reaching out to rest my hand on his.
"I was just messing around."
"Messing around?" he echoed bitterly, glaring at me intently. "If you call that messing around, then what does that make me?"
"I didn't mean to upset you, baby," I replied, trying to placate him. "You know I've always been honest with you."
His expression darkened, and he swallowed nervously. "Yeah, I guess I do. But... Jake?" A hint of disgust tainted his voice.
"I know you're adventurous, but doing it with someone else right in front of me?"
My heart sank at the pain etched on his face. I desperately wanted to explain that it was only a playful prank, but I sensed he wouldn't understand. Instead, I squeezed his hand gently, silently begging for forgiveness.
With a sigh, he reluctantly accepted my apology. "Fine," he conceded, "but next time, could you warn me beforehand?"
"Of course," I promised sincerely, relieved that the storm had seemingly passed.
"I just wanted to spice things up a bit, you know?"
Alex pursed his lips, considering my request cautiously. "Well, I suppose we can try it once," he conceded eventually.
"Really? Are you sure?" I asked eagerly, sensing the tension beginning to dissolve.
"Yeah, but only because I trust you," he said, caressing my hand gently. "Let's just be careful, okay?"
"Don't worry, I will," I assured him, squeezing his hand tenderly.
"Now, let's order something to eat so we can fuel up for our upcoming adventure."
Alex reluctantly agreed, and we ordered a couple of plates from the menu. As we waited for our food to arrive, I couldn't contain my curiosity.
"So, do you have any ideas on how we should proceed?" I asked him, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Well, what exactly did you have in mind?" he countered, arching an eyebrow.
"I figured we could invite Jake over and...
"
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his bold suggestion. How do you propose we do that?"
"Well, there's this exclusive club nearby that offers private rooms for couples interested in... experimenting," Alex explained, his cheeks reddening faintly. "Apparently, they have a reputation for providing a safe and discreet environment for people like us."
"Sounds perfect," I breathed, my pulse quickening at the mere mention of the possibility.
"But how do we convince Jake to join us?"
"Leave that part to me," Alex assured me confidently, flashing a mischievous grin. "He's always admired you, and I think he'd jump at the chance to satisfy his darkest desires."
"I guess you're right," I conceded, my heart pounding with anticipation. "Shall we head over there?"
"Sure, but let's grab a bite first," Alex suggested, nodding toward the entrance.
"We can discuss details while we eat."
"Alright, sounds good," I agreed, rising from my seat. "Let's go."
As we exited the bar, the cool night air enveloped us, and we eagerly embraced the freedom. The streets were bustling with activity, and we strolled side by side, chatting about mundane topics to distract ourselves from the growing anticipation.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we chose a cozy booth in the corner, away from prying eyes. Our conversation flowed effortlessly, peppered with laughter and flirtatious banter.
As we discussed potential scenarios for our encounter with Jake, we gradually lost track of time. Our appetites dwindled, replaced by a simmering desire for the events to unfold.
"I think we should start by initiating physical contact. Nothing too overt, just enough to provoke Jake's interest," Alex mused, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Agreed," I chimed in, my voice quivering with excitement.
"The element of surprise will definitely add an extra layer of intrigue to our encounter."
"Perhaps we could start by engaging in some harmless flirting," Alex proposed, his gaze fixed on me. "Nothing too obvious, just enough to pique Jake's curiosity."
"That sounds like a fantastic idea," I agreed, my pulse quickening at the prospect of our planned encounter. "We could invite him to dance, perhaps?"
"Exactly," Alex concurred, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
