Love and Finance
Hey folks new story, I'm quite happy with it, and I hope you are too, I've been on a roll with writing a lot lately. so I'm happy about that.
The soft click, clack, click of heels on tiled flooring could be heard in a lift as a rabbit tapped her foot impatiently against it. In one arm was a folder filled to the brim with reports, finance and otherwise and in the other her tablet which had digital versions of the paper reports as well as things that kept her job afloat. Her foot thumped harder against the tile floor, that she was almost worried that she might crack it from sheer friction or force. She took a deep breath, counting from one to ten in quick succession.
In general Sierra didn’t hate Mondays, but she didn’t like them and she especially didn’t like Mondays when she had to deal with, quarterly finance reports. Today was all hands-on-deck, including her nuisance and lover: Rashid. Rashid and hers relationship was a complicated one to say the least. It was a secret one, that they kept from most of the office
It was twofold really, though one area of it was a little less serious: First was their roles in the company, Sierra was Regional Manager, and Rashid was an analyst meaning technically she was his boss, and second was their personalities was laidback, and while good at his job lazy, Sierra was all business and would sooner quite than be lazy at her job, she didn’t become Regional Manager of Finance by being lazy and nearly missing her deadlines. So, they kept it a secret, part of her and a big part of him wanted to be open about it, but right now there just wasn’t any way without it becoming a bigger problem than what the two wanted to deal with.
When the lift door opened, Sierra straightened her hair bun, tugged at the edge of her pencil skirt and walked out into the office, where general chaos ran as the rest of the finance department was preparing for their quarterly reports, her annoyance faded into the back of her mind, replaced with her consummate professionalism. She had a job to do and she would do it well. Come hell or high water.
“Miss Rhodes, do you have the files?” Another rabbit asked fretting and looking like he was about to pass out, that was Donnel. She handed the folder to the rabbit who thanked her and ran off to give a paper to their boss Shomari, the lion was the head of the finance department and while he ran a tight shift, he was also deep in the weeds, his nose to the grindstone as he was trying to finish the financial reports for the quarter. Sierra sat at her desk and pulled her keyboard out and began to type up her password to her pc. She then felt someone’s eyes on her, lecherous eyes that she didn’t need at the moment, she knew exactly who it was no one else but him would act like this at work. She turned her head and indeed standing there was Rashid, that sly smirk on his face, part of her hated that smirk just as much as she loved it.
“Sabah alkhayr hubiy” Rashid spoke in Arabic as the fennec fox leaned against her cubicle, the fox had a way of making her swoon as well as nearly tear her hair out. She took a deep breath steadying her heart a bit as she spoke up.
“Morning Rashid, what can I do for you?” Sierra responded keeping her tone professional, as she typed away at her laptop, trying to ignore her boyfriend’s blatant and open flirting with her in the middle of her work. Their relationship was secret, but not that secret, there were rumors (what workplace didn’t have rumors.) And their bosses knew, still the fact that he was so brazen about it made Sierra annoyed, discretion, thy name was not Rashid al-Nasar.
“Ah come on, my hubiy, is that anyway to talk to your paramour?” He whispered in her ear as he leaned in closer, she had to fight the urge to flinch and managed to do that quite well, still a shiver ran down her spine, and she would be a dirty liar if she said she didn’t like hearing him address her in his native tongue.
“Keep your voice down, no one is supposed to know that.” Sierra chided him, not that anyone would know what he said, only four people in the office spoke Arabic, and Sierra was one of them. Rashid let out a chuckle as he handed her a piece of paper, it was a report he had for her, part of his job as an analyst and she being his manager had to sign off on any he brought her . She sighed as she signed the paper and handed it back to him.
“Well, I want to be public with our love,” Rashid started a heavy flirtatious tone to his voice as he did, “But alas someone feels it would be unbecoming.” Rashid added as Sierra shot daggers at him, and he laughed at this.
“Though, I do have something that I know you will like.” The fox stated with a hint of mystery to his voice, this piqued Sierra’s interest and she turned to him, giving him her full attention.
“And what might that be?” Sierra asked, wondering what he might have gotten her, he then slid a pair of tickets onto her desk, they had the words Les Misérables on them and her eyes widened.
“Tickets to your favorite musical,” He started as he smiled, “You’ve been working yourself to the bone, and you need a break my love: consider this a treat from your beloved Rashid.” Rashid added as he left, taking the tickets with him. Sierra smiled at this, he was a bit of a flirt, but by God did she love the man too much. He then sent her a text after he’d gone abck to his workstation, telling her that they would also visit an upscale restaurant after the show. Sierra was excited and she couldn’t wait for work to end, just a few more hours.
Report after report, finance statement after finance statement filled Sierra's mind till lunch when she was able to let her hair down for an hour and destress. And Sierra and Rashid’s choice for lunch venue was a nearby cafe, not too far from their job, about two blocks away.
“Ugh, why must I be burdened with an idiot of a branch manager!” Rashid groaned out as he walked his hands in his pockets as he fumed, he rarely talked about work unless it was to complain about someone who he didn’t like in this case, the branch manager who he worked directly under Roger his direct superior, Roger was not a bad boss by all stretch of the imagination, he brought out the best in his team and was pretty lenient about schedules all things considered. Which worked well for Rashid-still he had a tendency to push his luck. Thus, why Robert would chew him out. She’d seen it, it was funny to see.
“Stop being late with reports and he wouldn’t be on your ass so much” Sierra stated, Rashid rolled his eyes, “Besides, I’m the only one who is able to put up with your brand of stupidity.” Sierra cooed as she pinched Rashid’s cheek, he let out a huff as they made it to the café.
“Ah but I wasn’t late!” Rashid retorted, Sierra raised an eyebrow, Rashid and not being late with reports did not go well together, “I even double checked to make sure everything was right, and he still said I missed something.” Rashid growled out, and Sierra couldn’t help but laugh at his expense, she gave him a sympathetic look and spoke up again.
“You could always transfer to my area, I wouldn’t mind having you…under me, if you catch my drift.” Sierra said with a flirtatious tint to her voice, and Rashid did indeed catch her drift, and while he would love to be ‘under’ his girlfriend so to speak, he would have to decline.
“As tempting as that is, I’d rather not; you being my boss might lead to some…questions at work I’d rather you not have to answer.” The fox answered, just as they were entering the café.
“I know, management barely likes us dating as it is, I guess me being your direct superior would be a problem.” She said as she grabbed their usual seats, near the back a bit out of the way and out of sight of anyone who might enter, perfect for hiding from any of their co-workers, Rashid went to grab their lunch orders, a turkey club for him and a veggie burger for her, with two lattes. When he went to their seats, he continued their conversation where they left off.
“Though I would love to be able to be open about our love, be able to kiss you when we’re at the office, rather than out here, or at our apartment.” Rashid said as he handed Sierra her latte.
“I do too, more than ever, but you know how that’ll look, maybe once your promoted.” Sierra stated as she sipped her latte.
“Well I guess I’m in luck,” Rashid then pulled out his phone, and after a few taps he showed a company email that he got from their CEO, there were three new branch manager positions open, one cause one of the branch managers was retiring, another cause another branch manager was being promoted to a new position and the last cause a manager was being sacked, “I’m in the running for one of these positions so if I get it I should be at the same level as you.” He said with pride, and Sierra was more than happy, to finally take their relationship from secret to open could be a reality.
“I hope you get it; I think you’d do well as a manager; I see how your underlings do.” Rashid had several other animals under him as junior analysts, while he could be lazy, he did bring out the best in his team and it seemed the higher ups saw that since he was in the running to become a branch manager. The two talked and enjoyed their lunch and when the hour was over, went back to work.
The rest of the day went by without much fuss, they managed to finish what was needed to hand in the quarterly finance reports, (and as a special gift from the higher ups, a 13% bonus for everyone in the Finance Department, this year something that they fought tooth and nail for.) Sierra was riding high and going to see her favorite musical and a nice romantic dinner was icing on the cake. At their apartment she was trying to decide what dress to wear to the event, she had narrowed it down to two: the red bodycon dress and the blue maxi dress. Both of them would fit the theme
“Ugh, I can’t decide!” Sierra groaned as she stood in their walk-in-closet, still in her underwear after showering to prepare for the date tonight. Rashid was already dressed and waiting for her in their bedroom.
“Just pick anything, you’ll look good no matter what!” Rashid yelled from their bedroom, that was less helpful than she would have wanted, in the end she went with the bodycon dress, and after putting it on along with her makeup, she walked out; to a waiting Rashid, he looked her up and down and smiled, he loved her in any dress but this one he loved the most. The way they hugged her gentle curves, and accentuated every single one of them was a treat for the eyes. Rashid’s eyes undressed her and she smiled as she saw
“My, my, how did I get so lucky to have such a wonderful woman as my girlfriend,” Rashid said as he grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close and planting a kiss on her lips, “Ready to head out my hubiy?” He asked, letting go of her, even if he didn’t want to. They had a musical to go to in a few minutes.
“Yep!” Sierra said as she linked her arm with Rashid and headed to his car, the theater where the musical was being performed was not too far from their apartment, it was the ‘fancy one’ as Rashid once described it, it was fancy dress only, thus the dress and tux, still it was the best place to watch musicals and Rashid and her had seen about ten of them since they were dating.
Upon arriving they got to their seats, Rashid had apparently got them balcony seats, the best kind! The performance was wonderful, Sierra knew most of the numbers and could sing them with the actors if she wanted to, she loved Les Misérables more than any other musical in the world, ever since she was a little girl and her mother and father brought her to see an original Broadway performance of it. And she was so happy that Rashid did this for her. After the show they went to the restaurant, an upscale Arabic one; she'd never heard of the place, but Rashid had assured her that it was the best in town. The two were seated by a tigress and a fox came out to greet them. He looked like someone related to Rashid, if a bit older.
“Ah Rashid! So, this is the wonderful lady you’ve been telling me and mother about?” the older fox stated, Sierra looked at Rashid with a questioning look, “Oh where are my manners, I’m Khalid, I’m Rashid’s older brother and this is my restaurant.” Khalid said with a big smile on his face.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Sierra.” Sierra introduced herself, she was rather nervous she’d only heard offhand about Rashid’s family, mostly about his mother, his late father and his brother and younger sister, never met them due to them living halfway across the world in the UAE
“Well, anyone who can tie my wayward brother down is a blessing: Enjoy your meal, on the house.” Rashid said as he left the two, Sierra raised an eyebrow.
“You didn’t tell me your brother was a chef or owned a restaurant.” Sierra stated, Rashid huffed out.
“It’s new, just opened a few weeks ago, he finally got his visa straightened out.” Rashid stated, she knew all about that, Rashids woes about being a foreign worker working in the States never ended, he was close to getting his citizenship, “He’s hoping to bring Mom and sis over soon, not sure how long that’ll take.” He added, she nodded that she didn’t know all the nuances of being an immigrant. Her family has been here for generations.
Their waiter soon came to ask them what they wanted for their appetizers, Rashid went with the garlic and rosemary hummus and Sierra got some dolma, as well as an order of wine for Sierra since Rashid didn’t drink and he wanted Sierra to splurge, and she did ordering a nice Sauvignon Blanc. The dolma was wonderful, stuffed to the brim with goat cheese, dates and pine nuts and steamed to perfection, and went well with the wine. Soon they were offered the choice of a main course, Sierra went with mujadara, and Rashid grilled lamb chops.
The meal was progressing wonderfully and the food was great, and the desert was next, baklava. They didn’t talk much during the meal, wanting to savor their food, so dessert was when they talked the most and Rashid was for some reason very happy.
“Sierra, I’ve got something to tell you,” He said as he reached across the table to grasp her hands, rubbing gentle circles with his thumb on her palm, “I kinda lied earlier today, I was always gonna be a manager, I got told this morning before you came to work, I was getting promoted.” He stated, Sierra’s eyes widened wondering why he would lie about that, it was not like him to keep something like this from her, then she started to connect the dots. The musical, the dinner…was he about to do what she thought he was going to.
“I know part of why you wanted us to keep our relationship a secret was that it would look bad for a manager to date their subordinate,” Rashid said as he looked her in her eyes, his bright green ones contrasting with her vibrant brown ones, “But now, we’re equals, and I want us to be equals in more than just work, more than boyfriend and girlfriend.” He added as his brother brought out their desert, sitting atop it, front and center was a ring, on it was a single gemstone a peridot, her birth stone.
“We’ve known each other for eight years, dated for five of those eight and from the moment we started dating I knew you would be my wife. Sierra Rhodes, I love you more than any animal in this world, and I want you to be my wife.” Rashid’s words were all that Sierra needed to hear, as she responded with a tearful yes. Rashid placed the ring on her finger and she felt her heart soar.
After being congratulated by Khalid and the staff of the restaurant (and being given a parting bottle of Moscato wine) the two drove home, all the while Sierra kept looking at her ring, turning it around on her finger, unable to stop feeling that giddy feeling that came with this kinda situation. She was on cloud nine, and she couldn’t wait to go higher. They barely waited till they were in their apartment before they started with celebrating their engagement. Rashid’s hands were all over her, the same with hers, while their lips smashed together in a headed embrace of lust, love and want.
Rashid was a master of using his keys while making out with her, and as he propped her against their door, he opened it and pushed her inside, kicking the door closed behind them, he then picked her up, bridal style before carrying her to their bedroom. He gently deposited her onto the bed and began to strip out of his clothes, Sierra watching with rapt attention as he did a nice show for his new fiancé.
Starting with his bowtie, slowly he untied it from his neck, trying to be as sexy as one could be when undoing a tie, which admittedly was pretty sexy to Sierra, he discarded the garment into the corner somewhere and he then went to unbutton his shirt, after discarding his dinner jacket, button after agonizing button he went, until his shirt was off leaving him bare chested, he then worked to unbutton his pants and unzip them. Getting impatient to get to the main event it seems. Soon he was only in a pair of black briefs. She could see his canine member tenting against the black garment and Sierra bit down her lower lip. She decided it was only faire to give her fiancé a show as well.
Standing up from the bed she pushed him down so he was sitting on the edge, she then started by turning around, swaying her hips so that Rashid could get a good look at her curves from behind, she loved the way the dress she wore hugged her body, she then lifted it up and over her body leaving her in a lacy pair of red panties and bra. She then turned around and straddled his hips drawing his lips into hers. Their kiss was as heated as one would expect from the passion that the two of them shared. She threaded her fingers into her lover’s hair, kissing him deeply and passionately as he hips rocked back and forth against him, his cock pressed against her cunt, still covered by her panties.
“I’m gonna fuck you so hard tonight,” Rashid growled as he nipped into her neck the Sierra let out a moan as he bit into her, drawing light blood, he licked, “I’m gonna make you moan, holler and probably wake up the neighbors, not that I care.” Rashid said as he bucked his hips against her, and she let out another moan as he did, she felt him pull her panties to the side, and he pulled his briefs down slightly revealing his red rocket. His member was rock hard, thick and throbbing with veins all through it, it dribbled precum from the tip with each twitch. She couldn’t wait and impaled herself onto his member and the two moaned in unison, enjoying the sensation of the penetration. The two took a moment to adjust to the feeling before Sierra began to bounce on Rashid’s cock. Up and down she rode him, as they kissed. The passion and love coursing through the two of them as they fucked was a sight to behold.
“Move faster,” Sierra moaned out, trying to get more friction into their fucking, she loved the feeling, loved how deep her beloved’s member filled her, and as they fucked she could feel his knot threaten to enter her, threaten to seal the deal, the two of them have had raw sex before, but usually Sierra would take a morning-after- pill to stop anything from happening, but tonight, part of her wanted it, wanted to be seeded by her fiancé and she told him this, “Come on faster, don’t you wanna see me pregnant when we get married.” Sierra moaned as she sped up her riding, he did the same rolling his hips against hers faster and faster, the friction was too much and he was about to cum at any moment. He then reached down and played with Sierra’s clit making sure she came before he did. Sierra let out a moan as she came, and Rashid was right behind her, pushing up into her and making sure his knot entered her, making sure that every drop of his spunk filled her.
Sierra moaned out as she felt thick jizz fill her womb, spurt after spurt coated her insides making the rabbit moan more as she let the feeling of being so full wash over her, the final drop of seed left Rashid’s balls and the two collapsed to the side of the bed snuggling to each other.
“That was intense.” Sierra said as she kissed Rashid, the two of them waited for his knot to deflate before they tried again for round two. Getting naked, Sierra laid on her back her legs splayed open waiting for Rashid’s member to fuck her again, his cock was erect and twitching like before waiting to fuck her deep and hard. He crawled up to her, gripping her hips and prodding his member against her snatch, teasing her for a moment, pushing his member deep into her made the rabbit moan with pleasure as he reached near her hilt, the only thing stopping him was his knot. Pulling back till his cocks tip was only inside he then plunged back in, again and again fucking her hard and fast in a mating press. Plunging deeper and deeper harder and harder, with each thrust of his hips made Sierra moan again and again, she loved it when he fucked her like this, savage and hard, he then bit into her neck and this made her moan even louder and she came hard from this sensation, her body felt so on fire from the sensation of all of it: an overload of pleasure and pain that drew her over the edge. Her cunt squeezed Rashid’s cock and he felt he was about to cum soon, so he plunged deep into her, knotting her for the second time this night.
“Take it!” Rashid growled as he filled her to the brim again like before. Spurt after spurt of seed filled her, if she wasn’t pregnant before, she was damn sure she was pregnant now, and she loved it, the feeling of being bred by her lover, her future husband, the one she couldn’t wait to share her life with. With the final spurt from his balls, Rashid collapsed on top of her and kissed her.
“That was so fucking great.” Sierra said happily as she waited for his knot and member to deflate so she could shower before heading to bed. The two decided to shower together before heading off to bed. Tomorrow would be the beginning of the rest of their lives as a couple.
