Tabu Presents... The Interview
Copyright 2001
"Is she here yet?"
"I dunno, I haven't seen her."
"She's usually on time. I'm surprised."
"She still has five minutes."
"She'd better show."
"Relax Veronica, give her some time."
"Yeah, I'll give her time." Veronica muttered, wiping the counter down before heading over to a man that had come up.
Erin smiled and turned back to washing the glasses out. Neither saw as she made her way inside. She didn't know why she was here. All Erin and Veronica had said was that they needed to see her tonight, that they had something for her. She smiled as she watched Erin and Veronica work, smiling and flirting with their customers. Making her way through the crowd, she slid into the seat. Immediately Veronica noticed her.
"Lee!!"
She smiled, waving at the young woman who was now grinning from ear to ear. She watched as Veronica tapped Erin on the back, making her way over.
"You came. I was worried you wouldn't." Veronica smiled.
"Yeah well, this whole thing is cryptic."
"You'll enjoy yourself, I promise."
"Hi Lee!" Erin greeted her as she came to stand next to Veronica, tossing the towel she was using over her shoulder.
"Hey there."
"So are ya excited about this evening?"
"I guess I would be if I knew what was going on!"
They both just smiled. Veronica looked down at her watch.
"You can head up now."
"Head up where?"
"Just up those steps and it's the second door on the right." Veronica explained.
"Here, just show the guard this and you're all set." Erin handed her a card.
Lee took the card and looked at it. It was a plain index card with a single gold star in the middle. "What's this?"
"Don't worry, he'll know what it is. If you need help finding the room, just ask." Erin went on.
"Look, we'd LOVE to stay and chat, but we gots things to do. So have fun and let us know how it goes ok?" Veronica finished.
"But I don't understand..."
"You don't have to. Just know that this isn't your typical club and that this won't be a typical night. Interesting things always happen here." Erin responded mysteriously.
"And like we told everyone else, you'll thank us later." Veronica grinned, sharing a smile with Erin.
"Wait..."
"Bye Lee!"
They both called before walking off. Shaking her head, she slid off the stool and headed towards the stairs.
************************************************************************
She made her way up the stairs and stopped, the guy was fuckin' HUGE! She moaned and walked up the last two steps.
"Sorry, no one allowed up here ma'am."
"See I have this card here and..." She held up the card to him. He took the card from her fingers and studied it a minute. He glanced at her before stepping aside.
"Just down the hall, second door on the right." He announced, holding the card back out to her.
Her eyes widened, taking the card from him and starting down the hall. Her heart was racing; she had no idea what to expect. She made her way to the door, stopping in front of it. Taking a breath, she knocked twice.
"Come in." Came the muffled reply.
Steeling herself for the worst, she opened the door. He sat in a large plush chair, his back to her. He was gazing out the picture window to the city below, his fingers steepled in front of him.
"Hi, I'm here to meet with someone..." Her voice died as the chair swirled around to reveal the man sitting. "Shit!" She whispered.
"Excuse me?" He smiled.
"I...uhh..." What in the hell was going on. Her heart skipped as he stood, making his way around the desk to stand before her, holding his hand out.
"Hello, I'm Howard Dorough and you are..."
"Leone King, it's nice to meet you Mr. Dorough." She managed to get out.
"Please call me Howie. So Ms. King, I'm glad you could make it. I've heard so much about you. Please. " Howie announced, walking back over to his chair.
Silently she sat in one of the seats across from his desk. "Have you? And you can call me Lee, everyone does."
"Lee huh, well would you mind if I called you Leone? I think it fits you more."
"No, not at all." Was this for real? The tingly sensation that had started in her fingers was quickly spreading throughout her body. His big brown eyes were mesmerizing, along with his full voluptuous lips. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
"To answer your earlier question, yes I have heard a lot about you. Two of my best employees came and told me about you."
"They set this all up."
"Yes they did. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself Leon?" He murmured silkily.
"Well, I'm originally from Canada, and I work full time as a pediatric nurse at Orlando General."
"Impressive. Tell me about your history with children."
Children? Why did he want to know about children? What was he getting at?
"Children Howie?"
"Yes. Obviously with your current occupation you have lots of experience, but what about before that? Any babysitting and such?"
"Oh, well yes. I baby-sit my nieces and nephews occasionally, and I have a younger brother and sister, so I'm quite comfortable around children."
"That's great, I think you'd be perfect for what we need here."
She raised her eyebrows. "I'm sorry but, maybe I'm missing something. Why am I here exactly?"
"You weren't informed as to why you were meeting with me this evening?" Howie asked confused.
"No."
"So you're not here for the job?"
"What job?" She was totally confused.
"The job as head of the new day care center here"
"Day Care Center?! What?" Unbelievable!
"Yes, I'm thinking of starting a day care here in the evening for when people can't find a babysitter. I was looking to hire someone to run it, and my two employees suggested you."
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Erin and Veronica had set her up! "I'm sorry Howie but, I couldn't possibly do that and work full time at the hospital, there's just no way."
Howie stood and came around to stand in front of her. "It's ok Leone. I'm sorry it didn't work out thought. I was definitely liking the idea of working with you though." He whispered.
She blinked. "I would've liked to have worked with you too Howie." And that was the honest to god's truth.
"Hmmm...maybe you still can." He smiled.
Her eyes widened. She could be professional, she WAS a professional. "Excuse me?" She let out a startled gasp as Howie took hold of her hands and pulled her up, hauling her against his strong body, his arms wrapping around her waist.
"Don't you want to work with me Leone?"
Hell yeah she did! "But I can't..."
"Is there someone else?"
"N-no."
"Then, you can."
And she would she quickly realized as his hand slid up her thigh, under her skirt. She forced herself to look into his eyes and she knew she no longer had control of the situation. She barely had time to register the feeling of his hands on her, before his mouth covered hers.
Her head swam as his hand moved further and further up, rubbing her stomach slowly. Goosebumps formed on her skin as she ran her hands up his strong arms. She moaned against his mouth as his tongue found it's way inside. His hands came up to cup her face before running through her hair. From there, his hands moved downward, to the bottom of her blouse, pulling it from the skirt. He pushed it up and tossed it to the floor.
Bringing his head down, he teased her nipple through the confines of her bra. She let out a startled gasp.
"Cotton...funny, you don't strike me as a cotton girl." Howie chuckled softly.
She could barely form words. "Mmm...wh-what kind?"
"Satin, for breasts as perfect as yours." He murmured, dipping his head, teasing the other nipple.
After tonight, she was strictly satin. Her legs trembled as his hands swept up, pulling the straps of her bra down before reaching behind her to unhook it. He pulled away briefly to pull it off, her hands limp at her sides. This time when he lowered his head, he took her hard nipple into his mouth, laving it. Her arms flew to his arms, gripping him in effort to stand. The heat rushed to her center, causing her body to start to tremble. He moved to her other breast and started again.
She was barely aware of his hands sliding her skirt down.
"You're perfect, everything about you." He whispered, slowly sliding down her body. He dipped his tongue into her navel, swirling it around.
She tossed her head back, squeezing her eyes shut. The warmth spreading through her becoming stronger. Her knees almost buckled, as he pulled her stockings down, followed by her underwear.
"H-Howie." She moaned.
"I want to taste you Leone, I need to taste you." He drew his tongue over her lightly.
She tried to calm herself, for she would surely pass out from the feel of his tongue. She was positive she couldn't take anymore when he took her with his mouth completely. She couldn't stifle the cry that escaped her lips this time. His tongue started a steady motion inside her and she could feel the tightening of her body and her release as the heat poured from her.
"Mmm...you taste good." His lips found hers again.
She trailed her hands down to the buckle of his belt, undoing it and unbuttoning his pants. Slowly she slid the zipper down, pushing his slacks down. She didn't question what she was doing and she didn't let herself think of who it was in front of her. All she knew was that she wanted him, and she wasn't about to let the chance pass her by.
She kissed him intently as she fumbled with the buttons on his shirt. Howie took her hands from his shirt and kissed her deeply, pushing her hands down to the side.
"You're too shaky to be doing this." He smiled against her lips.
She smiled shyly and watched as he unbuttoned the shirt and let it fall to the floor. She ached to touch him as he stood there in his boxers and she did, reaching out to run her hands over his now bare chest.
"Come on." He whispered, taking her hand and leading her across the office. She walked numbly after him. He stopped and turned to look at her, taking her by the hands and pulled her against him again. He guided her hands to the band of his boxers; he pushed her hands down, taking with them his boxers. She could feel the heat radiating from his body and she closed her eyes as he took her lips with his.
He took a step closer to her, pressing his hard body against hers and she moaned, loving the feel. She felt him turn her around, pushing her back until she ran into the window behind her. She gasped as the cool glass hit her warm skin. Howie pushed her up until she had no choice but to wrap her legs around his waist.
"Leone..." Howie whispered a second before bringing her down over him and pushing into her.
"Howie." She moaned, her head falling back against the window as he withdrew and pushed into her again. Slowly he moved at first, and she moved with him, rocking her hips against his. She felt his hand move up and run lightly over her before also plunging inside. "Shit!"
"So tight...Leone...god..." Howie grated out, pushing harder against her now.
"More, please." She moaned, grinding her hips faster against his. Howie reciprocated with the same, moving harder and faster. She could feel the wetness on the glass behind her, the heat from their bodies fogging the windows. Wrapping her arms around him, she held him tightly as he continued to move within her. She could feel the tightening of her muscles around him as pushed into her. She squeezed her eyes shut as her release hit hard, tightening her legs, she cried out as her body tensed around his. She felt him hit his release at the same time and the warm heat of him spread throughout her body.
Her chest rose and fell with her exertion. As she once held him tightly, her arms now slumped to the side and her legs slid from his waist. She could feel his labored breath against her shoulder, and the rapid beating of his heart. A few moments later he pulled away and helped her slide to her feet. Pulling away from the window, they stared at each other. Smiling, Leone wrapped her arms around his neck.
"So, am I hired?"
"Definitely." Howie smiled.
"This has got to be the best interview I've ever had."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, this one was a lot more interactive. I like a boss that's hands on."
"I'm all about hands on." Howie chuckled.
"I see that."
"So, even though you can't work here, do you think we can arrange some sort of deal?"
"I think that's a possibility."
"That's good, cause I think I need to interview you again, very soon."
"Oh I look forward to it." Leone smiled as Howie brought his lips to hers.
