I found myself wishing that he would finish in my mouth, something that I’d never considered letting anyone else do before. But now, it was my goal; a singular focus that refreshed my energy levels somewhat and spurred me on. It was a long shot, but maybe I could get Calder to finish at the same time.
I steadied myself and started moving my hips along with Calder’s rhythm, encouraging him to speed up; to go harder and faster. He got the message, and I did the same with my mouth, feeling Ash grow ever closer to his own ending.
“Oh, god,” Ash growled, his grip on my hair tightening. “That’s it. Keep going just like that, Rhea…”
My name in his voice pushed me forward, and I let my tongue move as my head did, an endgame flourish that I knew would do exactly what I needed it to.
Then, Ash suddenly held my head tightly in place, and a groan escaped him. I felt his cock pulsing and then the warm liquid in my mouth, and I swallowed until I could feel his body relaxing.
He finally pulled away, but Calder was not quite done. I bent down, laying almost flat beside Ash, letting Calder go as hard as he needed to.
Finally, he pulled out.
“Fuck…” he almost roared, the warm wetness spilling out over my back, and I let myself collapse forward on the living room floor.
Ash pulled me up so that I was lying on his chest, and Calder came to sit down behind me to catch his own breath. We were all quiet, completely exhausted, trying to recover some semblance of energy.
My entire body felt like rubber, as if all of my bones had disappeared. I lay in the afterglow, feeling as if I could fall asleep right there and then.
“I told you…” I finally whispered when I had the strength to do so. “I told you it would work.”
“Got to admit,” Calder said as he reached down to stroke my hair. “You were right.”

Rhea
“Ma’am, as I’ve said before, these are only available up to size 7.” I was hoping that the woman in front of me would somehow actually listen this time. “You’re welcome to try another branch, or we could order a larger size, but that will take about a week to arrive.”
“This is ridiculous,” her face was getting more red by the second, to the point where my more imaginative side was worried that she’d eventually simply spontaneously combust. “Icalledyesterday, I asked if these were in, your idiot assistant said that theywere,and now you’re telling me I can’t get my shoes?”
It was a repetition of what she’d been saying from the moment I started talking to her. I’d already said the exact same thing all of the non-managerial employees had said, but that apparently wasn’t good enough. There wasn’t anything else I could do but keep the same conversation going ad nauseum, though.
“I believe they clarified that the available sizes were limited,” I reiterated, breathing slowly to keep my cool. “Again, there are some options here, but I don’t have a pair in your size right at this moment. Would you like me to call the other branch in town to see if they can assist?”
“Are they going to send my shoes here?” Now, she crossed her arms, and tapped one foot impatiently on the tiles. “Because Idon’t want to have to drive all the way over there just to have the same problem.”
“Unfortunately, that’s not something I can do.”
“Of course not. You just don’t want customers, do you?”
“Ma’am, I have the option of ordering them, or checking if they are available elsewhere.”
“No, I don’t care anymore. I’m going to contact Corporate, and I’m going to make sure you don’t have a job tomorrow.”
“Alright, Ma’am, that’s your right.” I shrugged. This was the third time that week that my job had been threatened, and I expected that nothing would come from it. Just like every other time.
“You know, I’m sure I saw a similar pair at the other store in the mall.” The new voice had my curiosity, and I glanced over the customer’s shoulder to see Jackie approaching with a box in her arms. “Pretty sure they have better customer service over there, too. Won’t waste your time like this.”
The woman looked from Jackie to me, and huffed. “I’m sure your bosses would love to hear your explanation about why you’re chasing people to the competition.”
I didn’t say anything, and she decided that was the most opportune time to storm off in a huff. I tried not to let the relief show on my face until she was completely out of sight. As soon as she was, I turned to Jackie, and smiled gratefully.
“Thanks,” I said with a sigh, giving my temples a quick rub. “It’s just not my day today. She’s the second one with a temper, and it’s only been an hour.”
“Well, that makes me happy that I usually don’t have to interact with random people,” Jackie laughed. “At least, not the ones that I don’t like. Anyway, I brought this for you.”
