“That’s something we’ve never done.”
“It will increase your workforce but allow your senior employees to delegate administrative tasks so they can focus on the important, bigger ones.” I make several more suggestions, all to help Lily ease her workload and gain more control of her life.
She summarizes my suggestions. “More senior staff, split up the teams, delegation, interns, and I could employ an assistant. Hire a manager specifically for destination weddings. I don’t want to do them anymore.” She beams. “And promote Janice to replace me and hire a new receptionist as well as an assistant for her. We have money in the budget for it.”
“Do it.”
“This feels good. Progress.” She sighs contentedly.
“This feels incredible.” I lay my hand on her knee, referring to spending time with her and not about the business, although that’s awesome too.
“We’re going to be okay, aren’t we, Ash?” she asks, sounding apprehensive.
Pulling into the valet area at the ICE hotel, the swankiest one in the city, I place the car in park, unfasten my seat belt, and turn to face her. “No matter what it takes, we are in this together.”
“I don’t know what I would do without you. I should have stayed last week. To talk.”
“I’m glad you didn’t, Lily. You gave me the kick in the ass I needed.” It was fucking horrible, but the wake-up call I deserved. “I will never let you walk out of my life again.”
“Never.”
We lean into each other at the same time. Her eyes full of expectation and apprehension, I press my lips against hers and kiss any remnants of doubt she has away.
Grabbing my tie, she pulls me closer and moans my name as our kiss turns passionate.
“Time to play.” I lick her sweet lips.
Looking over my shoulder, frowning, she asks, “Are we staying here tonight?”
“Only if you want to.”
She answers by unlocking the car door and pushing it open.
“I packed a bag for you. I've already checked in and your bag is there.” I shout to her through the gap in the door. Popping her head back into the car, she lays her hand out and I place the keycard for the room into it. “Presidential suite.”
“What? Oh my God, Ash, it’s a weeknight.”
She’s worth every cent. “We don’t often have a spending spree?”
Pointing at my new car, she raises her eyebrows. “I have to disagree.”
“Whatever, Mrs. Know It All.” I laugh.
“I love the color.”
It’s orange for my Tiger Lily.
I can tell she’s excited, her voice full of sunny cheer. A sharp contrast to the snow lined sidewalks outside. “Forget the car. What are we playing?” she asks.
“You’ll see.” I wink, my cock twitching in my boxers just thinking about it. “I’ll be up in ten minutes.”
Eyes gleaming, she slams the car door, and runs into the warm safety of the hotel.
I hope she loves what I have planned.
