Chapter Twenty-Nine Ella
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Ella
The office was quiet. Eerily quiet. If I had half a clue what I was looking for, this would be the perfect time to go snooping – but I didn’t.
As I headed through the corridor, I spotted a dim light coming from Jimmy’s office.
He’d messaged me at gone midnight to say goodnight and that he was going home.
I stopped in my tracks. What if this was the stalker, scoping out trade secrets or digging for dirt?
I took a step closer, hearing rustling coming from behind his office door.
Fuck, I could feel my pulse pick up. Maybe it was just the cleaner?
I took a few more small steps, panic surging through my veins. I was just outside the door – I only had to peer my head round to see who it was, but the glass walls meant whoever was inside would see me too. Fuck. I stopped, took a deep breath, then walked straight out in front of the glass.
‘Jimmy?’ I said, noticing him sitting at his desk, raiding through his drawer. I stepped into the room and he lifted his head, looking just as surprised as I was. Relief began to settle through me.
‘Ella?’ He smiled, warmth in his eyes. ‘Now tell me you haven’t stayed here all night?’ Jimmy was wearing a pale grey tracksuit, sweat visible on his chest like he’d run a marathon to get here.
‘I did,’ I admitted. ‘I slept on the wee couch thing in my office. What are you doing here so early?’
Jimmy laughed, shaking his head, then continued to rummage. ‘I took a cab home last night – I was too tired to drive. And I always pop round to my mom’s in the morning, but I forgot the keys were in here.’ He paused, finally raising a set of keys in the air.
‘That’s nice of you.’ I felt my shoulders relax. A man who visits his mum to check in? Jesus, could this sexy cunt get any better?
‘I’m not a mama’s boy either, if that’s what you’re thinking,’ he said, holding his hands up in defence.
I grinned, stepping closer to his desk. ‘Are you sure about that?’ I teased. I stepped around him and shimmied my bum on top of the desk, facing him in his chair. I lifted a framed photo of him, his mum and Fee, smiling together at a family BBQ.
Jimmy burst out laughing. ‘Busted! So maybe I am. She doesn’t keep well, so I like to stay close.’
I glanced up at him, placing the photo down. He sat directly facing me, his forehead still damp from his early morning jog.
‘Tell me, did you have fun last night?’ he asked, his voice as confident and smooth as ever.
I bowed my head. ‘A lot of fun! That place was perfect,’ I said, thinking back to the multicoloured sunset lighting up the sky, then the city glittering like a sea of stars in the darkness.
‘Next time, I’ll take you to the Empire State Building or the observation deck at Edge.
I can’t promise it will be only the two of us, but we’ll have one hell of a view.
’ I grinned, part of me hoping for reassurance that Jimmy wanted to do it all again.
‘Absolutely,’ he said, leaning forward. ‘I look forward to it.’ His hands rested on the desk, only a few centimetres from my thighs.
‘I’m glad you want to spend more time with me.
’ His voice softened. I felt his fingers slowly trace my outer thigh.
‘I was worried that we cut it short.’ Jimmy glanced up at me, his eyes locking with mine.
‘I was worried about that too,’ I admitted. Truthfully, I hadn’t stopped thinking about winching him in the lift and feeling his giant dick press hard against me.
‘I thought about getting the footage from the elevator from the security guys.’ Jimmy smirked, like he was reading my mind.
I blushed, peering down at him, then giggled.
‘I’m serious, Ella. That was some hardcore sexy shit in there!’
I burst out laughing, pushing his shoulders away playfully.
Jimmy grinned and stood up. He moved his hands through my hair, and suddenly we were kissing – first slowly, then deeper.
His arms and hands caressed my head and body.
He pulled me in and positioned himself between my legs.
Fucking hell, I’d never felt so much desire in my life.
His lips felt soft, his tongue swept around mine and I could hear myself moaning, craving his touch.
Every inch of me wanted this. Wanted him.
Jimmy ran his hands down my body, squeezing my breasts and moaning in my mouth as he did. I drew him in as close as I could, dying to be near him.
‘Ella,’ he gasped, shaking his head. ‘We should stop.’ He managed to pull away, his eyes sparkling. ‘Jesus,’ he panted. ‘We’ve been on one date. I don’t want you to think less of me. I like you,’ he said, looking almost annoyed at himself for admitting it.
‘I like you too.’ I smiled, composing myself.
‘And anyone could walk by. I wouldn’t do that to you.’ I could see that his mind was in overdrive.
‘Jimmy,’ I said softly, snapping him back to me. I leaned over and pressed the privacy button on the blinds, allowing the morning sunshine to fade us slowly into darkness.
‘I might only be here a few more weeks. I need this. I want this. You.’ I gulped, having never felt so brave in my entire life.
Maybe it was all the shit with Philip, knowing that I deserved this, deserved so much more than how he’d treated me.
Maybe it was fear of the stalker. But I needed this, needed to do something I wouldn’t regret later.
His dark eyes fell on mine. ‘Fuck, so do I, Ella.’
He lunged back on top of me on the desk, kissing and biting my neck.
I fell back, hearing things scatter off the desk, but I didn’t care.
Jimmy pushed up my dress, then pulled my lacy black thong down to my feet.
I kicked it off completely as he ran his fingers down my pussy and I felt my body contract.
Please touch me, I begged silently. He pushed one of his fingers into my mouth, then leaned over the top of me, kissing me. His hand began rubbing my clit, pushing in and out of me – teasing, fast then slow. My back arched against the desk.
I was so close to climax already. I began to moan. ‘Yes, yes, I’m going to . . .’
Then – just as I came – Jimmy slid his dick inside me, making me scream with satisfaction. Fucking hell, I was shaking. He felt huge. Jimmy was moving his arse on top of me, grinding into me, and I wrapped my legs tight around his waist.
‘Do you love my big dick, Ella?’ he asked, grinning down at me like he knew exactly how much I loved it.
Fucking hell, I didn’t expect this chat. I was surprised, but weirdly his words and the look in his eyes were making me even hornier.
‘I love it. It’s the biggest dick I’ve ever seen,’ I just about managed to say back.
‘Good. You’d better get used to it, girl.
You’re about to be seeing and feeling it a whole lot more.
’ Jimmy thrust in and out. I could hear the desk pounding the floor, and the heavy rhythm of it made me feel alive.
His gorgeous face on top of me, his muscles visible through his jogging suit – everything was perfect.
‘Jesus, I’m gonna . . .’ Jimmy came, pushing his tongue down my throat, his body shaking as he squeezed every last drop out inside of me.
‘Wow,’ I said, flopping my head down. I was sprawled across the desk, staring at the ceiling. ‘That was . . .’
‘Unbelievable,’ he concluded, pulling out of me and throwing himself back on his chair.
He was still fully dressed, with his boxers and trousers at his knees. I sat up, tugging down my dress to hide myself. He sat there, cock still semi, looking like a baton ready to be gripped.
‘Your dick is . . .’ I found I was at a loss for words on how to compliment such a mythical creature.
Jimmy laughed, glancing down proudly at himself, then leaned his face close to mine. ‘Wait till you see what my tongue can do.’ He gently kissed my lips, and I froze with pure delight. Yass, a licker as well. How did I get so fucking lucky?
After ten minutes of heavy petting and random kisses, I headed out of Jimmy’s office with a giant smile on my face and a fanny full of his sweet American candy. I wasn’t sure this day could get any better.

I was showering when I heard Zola and Katy enter the apartment. When I was dried and dressed, I went through to the living room, where they were sipping coffee on the sofa like zombies, trying to re-energise before work. So, I filled them in on my morning desk-based session with Jimmy.
Zola’s mouth gaped wide. ‘OK, who are you and what have you done with my friend?’ she asked.
‘Ella!’ Katy squeaked. ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t deal.’ She was shaking her head so rapidly that I started to worry she was having a seizure. ‘We’ve both had sex in the office with two men who are basically brothers! We could be sisters!’
‘Oh, dear God,’ Zola moaned under her breath.
‘I know,’ I admitted. ‘This really isn’t like me, but I felt so amazing doing it. He’s the first guy I’ve ever met that I’ve had that immediate spark with.’
Zola hummed. ‘And what first attracted you to Jimmy Link, the multi-billionaire, Ella?’
I squinted my eyes at her.
‘I’m sorry, I’m just saying, but you clearly do have a type.’ She was reminding me of Philip, but I shook my head.
‘No, this is different. This feels so different. Philip chased me down. I was sceptical, and clearly quite rightly so. We were too different. But Jimmy and I are much more similar. He likes the same things, he goes running, he’s laid-back . . .’
Zola threw a pillow over, whacking me. ‘You’re the most uptight person I know!’
‘But that’s why it’s good!’ I explained. ‘And, Jeez, his dick . . .’ I rolled my eyes, thinking of it again.
‘Tell us now!’ Katy was bouncing up and down on the sofa. ‘What was it like?’
I paused, trying to find the words. ‘Put it this way – if that bridge,’ I pointed out the window at the stunning view of the Brooklyn Bridge we had, ‘if that ever went down, he could swing his big old beefer out and we’d all be able to reach Brooklyn no bother.’
Zola and I burst out laughing, but Katy looked confused.
‘You wouldn’t want people walking on your man’s dick, though, would you?’ she said.
Zola and I doubled over in hysterics.
‘Were you careful at least?’ Zola asked.
‘I’m still on the pill with Philip, so don’t worry about any bratty baby Ellas!’ I laughed.
‘Really, the pill turns me psycho,’ Katy chipped in. ‘I just get them to jump off the train before it gets to the station!’
Zola and I turned, shocked, to Katy.
‘You could be riddled, Katy! For fuck’s sake, you need to use condoms from now on, you have no idea how risky that is! Especially the rate you’re pumping and dumping!’ Zola shook her head in genuine horror.
‘Really?’ She seemed surprised, innocent even, as if years of sexual ed hadn’t been drummed into us. ‘Fine, I’ll go to Walmart on the way home tonight, stock up for all of us.’
‘Good! Come on, we need to get ready for today – it’s a big day for the app. A lot of changes,’ I said, smiling.
‘You smashed this revamp,’ Katy said, high-fiving me with real energy.
Zola nodded. ‘Yeah, I’m dead proud of you, Ella. I think this idea is fair, genius and it helps to make things safe.’
‘Thanks, guys.’ A wide grin spread across my face and I reached over to hug my two best friends. But just as I did, Katy’s phone pinged.
‘Oh no,’ she moaned, having not even checked the screen yet.
‘Is it . . .?’ Zola asked, watching Katy pull out her phone.
‘Yep.’ She glanced up at us, fear taking over her face.
We huddled together, reading the message.
Unknown: OK, time’s up, bitches. I warned you – vanish. No more switching the app, no more fucking other people’s husbands. Stay? Then I’ll bulldoze you – and his empire. With a smile X
‘Zola!’ Katy was panicking. ‘Zola, what does that mean?’
Zola turned to me. ‘It means Jimmy is the problem. Whoever this is plans on taking him down, and we’re collateral.’ She gulped. Zola was never scared, but I could see this latest missive had shaken her.
‘We have to tell him,’ I said decisively, panic rising inside me too. ‘Someone is planning on ruining his company, his life!’
Katy shook her head, her eyes desperate. ‘You can’t! You’d have to tell him about me, Ella. That would ruin our lives! We need this contract. We need the money, the boost to our careers.’
I buried my face in my hands. ‘I have no idea what to do.’
Eventually, Zola spoke, steady and calm.
‘Here’s what we do. We continue what we’re doing.
We pretend this isn’t happening. Ella, you fish for as much information on Jimmy’s enemies as you can, and in the meantime, we make the best app that’s ever hit America.
We distance ourselves from Britney – we know she’s involved.
But we can play dirty too. I’ll hack her server and see who she’s been emailing. ’
A wave of defeat washed over me. For the first time, I’d found someone, someone special, who I liked immediately.
There was no second-guessing his intentions.
I knew it was early days, and I knew it was more than likely a holiday fling, but I respected Jimmy.
I admired him. I didn’t want to lie to him.
‘I’m so tired of drama,’ I said.
I rested my head against Zola’s, and she gently kissed my forehead. ‘C’mon, babe, it’s game time.’
