Miss Callahan, ch. 11

Chapter 11Lauren: Where are you?Me: So needy. I laugh at my own text. Which isn?t even funny, but I?m already feeling a little tipsy from the glass of champagne I downed when I first got to the bar. I?m here before anyone else from our team since I needed a moment alone before I have to socialize. In general, I believe champagne should be sipped, but I?m full of nerves right now and I need something to calm them.Lauren: Cheeky. Don?t forget whose mercy you?ll be at tonight.And there it is. The reason for my nerves. Well that, and my impending conversation with Jackie. But those are a very different set of nerves. This game with Lauren is making me nervous, but also incredibly excited. I?m thankful I wore loose pants today or I don?t even know how this would work.Me: I?m at the bar.I send the text accompanied with a photo of myself and my glass.Lauren: You look cute. And slightly drunk. How many drinks have you had?Me: Just one. But someone made me skip lunch. Are you in charge of my alcohol consumption now?I don?t know if it?s because of the alcohol running through my system or if I?m just more emboldened with Lauren in general, but I feel more confident than I usually do over our texts and I?m in the mood to push her a little.Lauren: So sassy tonight. Would you like me to be in charge of that darling?I don?t respond right away. I take the final sip of my drink as I look down at her question. I know she?s playing, but her words also make me think.Having never been involved in any dynamic like the one I have with Lauren, I don?t know how far it extends outside the bedroom. But even with that ambiguity, I still feel a rush of excitement over the possibilities that being with Lauren holds. I decide not to address her comment directly.Me: I?d like for you to get here. When is that happening?Lauren: Now who?s needy?I can see she?s still typing so I wait.Lauren: I?m leaving the office now. Are you ready for me?I know exactly what she?s talking about and my eyes subconsciously move over to the bag that?s holding the vibrator.Me: Not yet...Lauren: I suggest you do that soon. Michelle says there?s a table under her name you can grab for us.Me: Michelle knows we?re texting?Lauren: She thinks we?re coordinating. She doesn?t know how naughty you?re about to be.Me: I?m not the only naughty one here.Lauren: Now I?m starting to get the impression you?re trying to get a spanking.I can?t even tell what I feel more strongly? the wetness that just pooled in my panties or the blush that I can feel heating my cheeks.I?m careful not to press any of the keys on my phone in case she can see my indecision on how to answer. I wasn?t specifically aiming for a spanking, but now that she?s mentioned it, my mind is almost hyper focused on the memory of her hand coming down on my ass.Me: Is it working?Lauren: Go to the bathroom and get ready for my arrival. We?ll talk about your blatant sass later.I smile at my phone and suddenly the idea of inserting a vibrator she has control over isn?t as nerve wracking. It?s fucking hot. In the back of my mind I know it?s probably a bad idea with Jackie?s imminent arrival and our plans for after this. But like so many things right now, pleasing and playing with Lauren overrides all other thoughts. I send Lauren a final text.Me: Yes, miss. Going now. See you soon.I pay for my drink and head to the bathroom before I find the hostess so I can grab the reserved table. Every step that takes me closer to the bathroom makes my pussy throb harder.Luckily the bathrooms in this bar are private so it won?t be hard to get what I Demetevler Escort need out of my bag. As I take out the vibrator, I shake my head and smile again at Lauren?s vibrant color choice. She never seemed like the pink type.I shouldn?t be surprised how easily the vibrator slips into my pussy. Her texts about spanking me did its job to give me all the lubricant I need. In fact, I think I?ve been in some kind of perpetual state of wetness since Lauren arrived back in Seattle.It?s not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be but I?m also anxious to get to a seat so I don?t have to stand or walk with it in for too long. I?m suddenly incredibly thankful I got to this event so early.As I head back out to the front of the bar, I don?t see any of my colleagues and assume they?re still not here yet so I l give Michelle?s name to the hostess who takes me to a long table in the back of the room.My nerves spike again as I sit there and wait for the others to arrive, which doesn?t take long. Michelle and Lauren stride up to the table first, but I can also see Jackie and two other designers entering the front of the bar at the same time.Whatever confidence I found in the bathroom as I was putting the vibrator in, vanishes the second I look up at Lauren and see her teasing smile.?Thanks for grabbing the table, Emma. We had a briefing call with the San Francisco office that went over,? Michelle says.?No problem. I got here early.?Lauren doesn?t say anything as she takes the seat at the head of the table, but she hasn?t lost that smile. It gets slightly bigger as she sets her phone on the table, looks at it pointedly, and then brings her eyes back up to mine.?Are you ready?? she asks me.My mouth opens and closes and to Michelle, I must look scandalized by the question. But Lauren quickly follows up her statement with another question. ?Or have you already ordered yourself something??The teasing smile still hasn?t left her face and I can tell that she?s enjoying how much she?s making me squirm.?No. I haven?t but the server should be by,? I say, looking at Michelle instead of Lauren.?Good. I could use a large glass of wine,? Michelle says as she settles into the seat next to Lauren.It?s not lost on me that Lauren?s seat at the head of the table gives her the perfect cover to text or play with her phone. It would have been a lot harder if Michelle was sitting right next to her.Soon Jackie and the two designers I saw enter with her are at the table and taking their seats. I?m not surprised but am slightly annoyed that Jackie decides to sit right next to me. Which is irrational since we always end up sitting next to each other at team happy hours.?Hey,? she says to me as she slides onto the chair. ?You left the office early.?Her tone is tentative, almost nervous. And I?m sure she?s thinking about our plans later. Or maybe she?s still feeling weird about the way I left Lauren?s office earlier.?Yeah, I decided to head out after my last call,? I say back.?Hey guys,? Jackie says to Lauren and Michelle across the table.And that was probably the friendliest greeting I?ve ever heard her deliver to Lauren. Either she?s listening to what Lauren said earlier or she?s behaving in front of Michelle, but either way I?m grateful we can get through this happy hour without tension. Well, a certain kind of tension. I certainly feel a very different kind of tension from the woman sitting two chairs down from me.?Hey Jackie,? Michelle says with a smile on her face. ?If this place isn?t good, I Otele Gelen Escort told everyone they can blame you for the recommendation.??And if it?s good? Do I get an invitation on your boat??I have a feeling Jackie?s trying to make me laugh, given our conversation earlier about Michelle?s boat name, but I just look ahead. The last thing I want is for my boss to know I was making fun of her.?Not a chance, but keep trying,? Michelle says back with a wink.Three more people from our team filter into the bar and take seats at the table before the server comes over to take our drink order. After I ask for my usual glass of champagne, I notice Lauren put her phone in her lap out of the corner of my eye.Sarah Alvin who leads our research team and was involved in the Interplay pitch is the last to arrive and takes the chair next to mine. Besides Jackie, Sarah is probably the person I know best at Altitude. The three of us are the only lesbians in the office and the rare times I go out to lesbian parties, it?s usually with them.I?ve always appreciated Sarah?s style and swagger. She?s much more masculine than Jackie and I are and fits in with the cool, hipster Seattle vibe that I?ve never managed to adopt.?Sorry,? she says as she puts her motorcycle helmet on the seat next to her. ?Wanted to find a secure area to park my bike. This street is sketchy. Who chose this bar???That would be Jackie,? Michelle says back. ?She claims the bars I choose are too corporate.??Sarah just loves an excuse to remind people that she rides a motorcycle,? Jackie says.?I don?t need to tell people that, Jack. I have a helmet,? Sarah says as she points to the chair next to her.?You could just carry that around,? Jackie quips back quickly.?Who would do that?? Sarah asks with a laugh.?You?ll have to excuse them,? Michelle says to Lauren. ?These are my Three Musketeers. Research, strategy and design. I can?t take them anywhere. If they weren?t so good at making us money, they?d have been fired a while ago.??I think there was a compliment in there somewhere,? I say back to Michelle with a playful smile.?I can see that,? Lauren says to Michelle. ?I?ll keep an eye on them.?Despite her use of them word ?them?, her eyes are settled on me. Luckily, it?s in this moment that the server comes back with our drinks.As I reach up to grab my drink from the woman, I suddenly feel a very light vibration hit my clit. Even with the knowledge that it was coming soon, the feeling of the activated vibrator makes me jerk my hand as I grab my flute, causing some of the champagne to spill over. The intake of breath that suddenly escapes my mouth doesn?t help hide my surprise.?You ok, Ems?? Lauren asks but her voice sounds anything but concerned.?Yeah, how many did you have before we got here?? Jackie asks.?Just one,? I say and I can feel that my face is bright red as I take the closest napkin to wipe up the spill.The vibration stops and I can feel my pussy throbbing for more.?Leave her alone,? Sarah says as she grabs another napkin and helps to wipe up some of the champagne for me. ?Have you seen the server? I would have spilled too.??Ok, enough objectifying women in front of your bosses,? Michelle says, but I can tell from her tone that she?s not serious.The agency world can be an interesting culture. What constitutes as ?professional? topics of conversation at a normal company are pushed in this world. But usually you keep those conversations to your own level so I also understand Michell?s comment. Sarah and Jackie Balgat Escort often just don?t care about the hierarchy or politics of the agency.?Yeah, yeah,? Sarah says with a wink to Michelle.?How about a toast before Emma loses any more of her drink?? Lauren says with a smile to me.I still haven?t recovered from the first vibration and can only give her a tight smile back. I hope she?s not expecting me to be the one to give a toast. Considering the effort I?m putting into not breathing heavily, speaking is completely out of the question.I can see Lauren?s hand move under the table as she holds up her drink with the other hand and I don?t even have time to prepare myself before I feel the vibration back on, only slightly stronger this time.?Thank you all for giving me such a warm welcome these past few weeks. I know it?s not always easy having someone new come in, but I?m very excited to be working with you all. I think we?ll do some great things together,? Lauren toasts, landing her gaze on me.As she stops talking the vibration stops again. Everyone puts their glasses in together and once I?ve taken a sip, I have to put my hands on my legs because I can tell they?re shaking slightly. I close my eyes for only a second and breathe in slowly through my nose.This is such a strange sensation. My mind is aware that I?m surrounded by co-workers, but my body is buzzing with arousal and every time the vibration starts, I can feel myself getting even wetter. I feel like I?m physically sitting there, but mentally, I?m on an entirely different plane than anyone around.I?m barely aware of the conversation that unfolds naturally around me. I?m vaguely aware that they?re discussing Lauren?s move, but the details of what?s being said don?t land anywhere solid in my brain.?That was the one that Emma presented at actually,? Sarah says and her use of my name jars me from my hazy, orgasmic thoughts.?What?? I ask.?Thanks for joining us, space cadet,? Jackie says while giving me a strange look.I have no idea how long I was just sitting there, but everyone?s eyes are suddenly on me.?The South by Southwest presentation you did,? Sarah says. ?Lauren?s team hosted the SXSW Altitude party that year.?My eyes go to Lauren who isn?t even trying to hide the amusement in her own bright green ones.?But I didn?t get a chance to see your presentation,? she says to me, not breaking eye contact.?She was amazing,? Sarah says. ?The room was packed and they had her in one of the large conference rooms. It was the first time I got to see Emma on stage and man, she?s good.?If I wasn?t so focused on Lauren?s face, I probably would have blushed at Sarah?s words. But as it is, I can?t even manage to say thank you.?I?ve learned that for myself since being in Seattle,? Lauren says as she breaks eye contact and looks over at Sarah before bringing her eyes back to me. ?What was the presentation on???Basically, it was??The vibration starts again and this time it catches me even more off guard than the last time since I didn?t notice Lauren?s hand slide down to her lap.?Um,? is all I?m able to get out after that.I put my hand up to my forehead for a moment and take a breath through my nose. The vibration setting is too low to get me to an orgasm, but just strong enough that I?m losing all ability to form words.Jackie moves her hand up to feel my forehead and presses her fingers in before she brings them down to push some of my hair behind my ear.?Are you feeling ok? You look like you?re burning up.?I look back to Lauren whose eyes are narrowed slightly as she stares at Jackie?s hand now resting on my shoulder, playing with the ends of my hair.?I?m fine,? I say to Jackie, shifting so she has to move her hand. ?The champagne just went to my head for a moment.?The vibration continues but I?m not going to let Lauren completely win this game so I grip my leg as I look back to her. I take in a breath before I attempt to speak.
