Ian was dead meat. The seduction of Ian Harrington wasn't going as planned but I knew I needed to step up my game. I knew he was waiting on me to crumble but I still had a little self respect. Now on the other hand if he was butt ass naked with a wet body I probably would have lost. My man had a body that would make a woman lose her complete mind. Thank goodness he still had clothes on.

All last night I thought about how he manipulated me. He tricked me. He was playing dirty and I needed to play dirtier. I wasn't going to lie, my release felt real good, but I still needed him. I wanted to hurry and end this bet and start enjoying the fun parts of our relationship.

"Ms. Harris, Ray Alexander is here to see you," Mary, my new temp said.

"Please send him in," I said smiling from ear to ear.

"Monie! Hey Chica."

"Ray, oh my Gawd it is so good to see you," I said hugging and kissing him. What are you doing here?"

"Kimber called me and said that she needed my expertise on some graphics and a friend of mine is throwing a social tonight so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. So I flew down here to help."

Ray Alexander and I went to high school together. He was very handsome, owned his own computer graphic company and one hundred percent gay. Anybody looking at him would never know. He was always dressed to impressed, spoke intelligently and was always on point.

"Kimber didn't tell me you were coming."

"I told her not too. I wanted to surprise you because I haven't seen you in a while. You looking good which only means one thing."

"What would that be Ray?"

"You are getting fucked real good."

"Boy why would you say that?"

"Because you have this glow. Your hips are spreading and that ass is getting tight. It's says yeah bitches, I'm getting fucked so good, that I know you jealous," he said laughing.

"Ah hush, boy!" I said laughing too.

"So my girl got her somethin' good."

"I guess you can say that but we have a bet going on and he is wearing me down."

"What kind of bet?"

"He's conceded. He thinks he is God's gift to women. He is but his head is already big enough."

"So you feening yet?"

"Oh yeah."

"Damn girl you got it bad! The dick got you twisted and that's not good."

"If I win Ray, he has to cook and be my slave for a week."

"Not bad. And if he wins?"

"I would do the same."

"You on your knees for a man, can't let that happen. You my girl and I can't see you losing."

"I know right?"

"So what have you come up with?"

"Nothing. Every time I try to put a plan in action, he sucker punches me with some seduction scheme and it works! Urgh! What am I going to do?"

"How long do you have?"

"Two and a half days."

"That's plenty of time to work our web of destruction."

"We?" I said looking suspicious.

"Yes. What makes a man jealous?"

"Ah, giving away something that belongs to him."

"Exactly."

I smiled as the wheels started to turn. "Who could I get?"

Ray cleared his throat. "Miss Thang, you don't need to look any further. Your guy is standing right in front of you."

"I couldn't ask you to do that?

"Mona, I owe you. If it wasn't for you giving me my seed money to start my company, I would still be scrapping up support. As much as you hate to admit it, you are the shit in Atlanta. A woman of your caliber is nothin short of being the First Lady of Atlanta."

"Boy please!" I said waving my hand.

"Monie, I'm serious. Since I attended the gala with you two years ago, I have more clients then I know what to do with. Those old woman love them some Ray Alexander. I was on the cover of Atlanta Men and believe me, I still get fan mail."

"I don't know Ray?"

"You better know. Do you want to win or not?" His light blue eyes sparkled. Did I mention Ray's mother is white and his father half Puerto Rican and black. He was a fine looking brotha and one had to really look close to know that he swung for the other team, but he was my boy and always looked out for me.

"My friend is having a mixer down here tonight for professionals. I think they are taking pictures and putting them in the paper. We should take a picture and have them put it in the paper for your man to see driving him crazy. Wear something sexy.

"Not a bad idea. Do you think it will really work?"

"Boo please. Look at all this. What woman or man wouldn't want this," he said spinning around. "Fifty dollars say I can have him so jealous, he will be begging you for the punanny." I couldn't help but laugh.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said as Ray stood on the side of me.

"Hey, I was wondering... Oh I didn't know you had company," Ian said a little taken back.

"Ian, this is Ray Alexander. We have been really close friends since high school and he is in town for a few days. Ray this is Ian, my boss."

Ray looked from Ian to me and I could see the look of distain across Ian's face.

"It's nice to meet you Ian," Ray said shaking his hand. Ian didn't look to happy. Ray put his arm around my waist. Ian looked at his arm as I watched Ian's neck turning red. Ah this was going to be good.

Ray smiled. "I will see you tonight." He kissed me on the side of the lips. Ian's whole demeanor changed. Was that jealously? Ian crossed his arms and he had a twitch.

"Okay," I said batting my eyes like a love sick schoolgirl.

"Nice meeting you Ian."

Ian didn't say a word as Ray walked out and close the door.

"Who is that?"

"We go way back. He is just a good friend."

"How good Mona?"

"Are you jealous Ian?"

"Of him, of course not," he said fanning me.

"Then what can I do for you?"

" I was about to grab lunch and thought we could go together."

"Actually, I have a lot of work to do. I'm sorry."

"Is this about yesterday?"

"No, I think it was clever. Thank you for giving me an orgasm that was up there with the others you have given me."

"Technically I didn't touch you.

"I know but it really felt good. I actually needed that. I can think clearly now, so thank you."

"I could make you feel even better."

"Nah I'm good," I said trying not to laugh. I started typing on my computer completely ignoring him. He blew out a breath.

"Just remember you and I are together," he said a little worried.

"Oh honey, I haven't forgotten."

"Whatever you and that asshole Ray got going on, it better stop as of right now."

"We are just friends Ian, geesh jealous much," I said shaking my head.

"No, but I know nothing better be going on," he said with his hands on my desk.

"I'll call you later. I got to get this report out."

Ian leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. He took one last look and walked out. I was having too much fun with this.

I had gotten home to get ready to meet Ray. The doorbell rang and I hurried to answer it.

"Hey Ray, come on in."

"Man you have a nice place. Not as big as your last place but cozy."

"I'm still getting acquainted with the city before I actually buy a house but this townhouse is right for now. I better finish getting dressed. Give me ten minutes and I will be ready."

"Take your time."

Ian POV

I had been in my office all evening thinking about that punkass Ray. It was funny that she had never mentioned him before but he looked all lovey dovey with my girl. Whatever intentions he had about Mona needed to end immediately.

It was after six so I decided to go over to Mona's place. I figured maybe I could stop her from going out with him.

I pulled up to her townhouse and saw a rental parked behind her car. Ray! I had to take a deep breath and hold my composure. I turned off my car and headed to her porch. I used the spare key just in case I had to jump old boy.

I walked in to see Ray sitting on the sofa.

"Ian?" he looked at me confused.

"Where is Mona?"

"She is getting ready. Why? And why do you have a key to Monie's house?"

"Monie?" I asked.

"That was the nickname I gave her back in high school. It was actually Monie Moan, for the way she moaned out when we you know..."

It took every ounce of me not to knock the shit out of him.

"High school sweethearts, uhm."

"Yeah she was a dancing doll, SGA president and debate captain. She was a triple threat and I let her get away. I was stupid then, but now I'm all grown up and I will try to win her heart again. She was the one that got away but I'm about to remedy that. Tonight will be the night."

"I don't think that is going to happen. You see Mona and I are a couple," I said folding my arms with a smirk on my face.

"Well she never mentioned you. Does she know you two are a couple?"

"Excuse me. What kind of fucked up question is that?" I asked itching to punch him.

"I mean, she never told me she was dating her boss. Don't your company have some kind of rule about fraternizing with employees?"

"Look little boy. You need to step off because she and I are together whether you like it or not."

"Well I think Mona should decide, " he said with a sarcastic smirk.

At that moment Mona came down the stairs. She was wearing a red lacy dress that would have a man's heart racing. Her breasts, hips and ass were prominent features and all I wanted to do was rip it off of her and ravish all of her all night long.

"Ian what are you doing here?" She asked surprised.

"I want to know why didn't you tell him that you and I are together?"

"He didn't ask and besides I have been thinking. Maybe you and I rushed into this relationship. Maybe we should take it slower."

"Are you trying to call us quits? Because it sounds like it."

"Ian, calm down," she said touching the side of my arm.

"I will not," I grabbed her arm and walked her to the guest room.

"Ian stop I need to go. Ray is waiting on me and it would be rude to keep him waiting."

"Mona don't play. I'm serious. You are not going out with him."

"Excuse me but you are not my father, God rest his soul," she said.

"I'm not trying to be, but you can't go with him."

"Move Ian, I am going to be late."

I felt like I was fighting a losing battle. "You can't go with him. Please don't go. If you do there will be blood on your hands."

"You are not about to fight Ray, so you can just stop it."

I did the only thing I could, I kissed her. I deepened the kiss with so much passion, that it scared me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I raised up her dress and she wrapped her legs around my waist.

"Don't go," I whispered across her skin. I heard her moan as one hand grabbed her ass and the other I used to unzipped her dress.

"Ian you have to stop," she said in a moan but I wasn't obeying her. I would do anything for her to stay.

"Baby...," she moaned as I capturd her breast in my mouth. She grind her body against mine as I pulled back and ran my hand against her tight stomach. Her back arched as her body encouraged my hand to continued. I lifted her up and tossed her on the bed.

"Ian baby, come here."

I followed her words and like a madman I walked up to her. I leaned down and without warning I tore the dress in half and began my descent.

"Ian," I heard her about to fuss until I licked her from her belly button to her sexy. She wanted more as her body raised up. I grabbed the thong, pulled it to the side, and used my tongue to devour her. She called my name with each lick until I pulled against the material and it tore. With the tearing echoing in my ears, I raised her legs and went to town.

One taste was all it took and I was hooked like a dope feen. She grabbed my hair and pulled. The harder she pulled the more I worked my tongue, lips and mouth. She cried out but I couldn't stop. The deeper I went, the more she cried out.

I needed to claim her. I needed her to know that I owned her body and it was all mine. No one would ever get another taste of her, she was mine.

"Mine, mine," I repeated. I stopped for a second and raised up.

"Say this is all mine baby. Say it!"

"Yours all ... gawd, all yours baby... All yours," she screamed as I continued on as she rocked her body until she spilled. I swallowed every ounce not wanting any to be wasted.

I leaned up and quickly unbuttoned my pants and dropped them. I pulled her closer to the end of the bed and without warning, I plunged so deep into her that her eyes opened wide and she grabbed the comforter.

"This is mine, you hear me. You will never let any other man in this sweetness. All mine and don't you forget," I said through tight lips speaking with authority. She nodded as I heard her moans becoming silent screams. She wrapped her ankles around my back as I plunged deeper and deeper. She felt hot with fever against my dick, as her walls coaxed me. This was like no other as the heat from our skin made the sweat sizzle against our flesh.

"Harder baby, harder," she moaned as I unwrapped her ankles and pushed her legs and feet back. I worked from an angle as I felt the beads of sweat dropping from the ends of my hair. I couldn't be all soft and romantic, what we were doing was raw and hardcore. She wanted it hard and that's what I was going to give her.

Her feet were now behind her back as I eased up in the bed on my knees.

"Right there baby...thats it. Show me how bad you want me!" And with those words I lost control. I pulled back and plunged so hard into her that she screamed and I followed with my own. I was so deep in her, I didn't know if I could return. Our screams of ecstasy echoed through the room and I was sure the neighbors would be calling the police.

Both of our bodies contorted as our orgasms subsided. I laid my head against her stomach. I needed to say the words. "You win," I said looking up at her.

"Actually we both win, but you faltered," she said still trying to get her breathing under control rubbing my hair.

I smiled and bit my bottom lip. Call me a pussy if you want. I swear one taste is all it takes.

"He wanted you back and he told me you were the one that got away. I don't want to lose you ever."

"Ah really. So you did all this to prove to Ray that I belong to you?"

"I had to do what I had to do to let him know that he couldn't just walk in here and take something that no longer belongs to him."

She started laughing. At first a chuckled and then a heart barreling laugh.

"It was so worth it," she said laughing.

"What's so funny Mona or should I say Monie."

She continued to laughed but she had tears in her eyes. What was so damn funny? I got up and rolled over.

"What the hell is so funny?" I was starting to get a little pissed off. I had given her some of the best sex of both of our lives and she was fucking laughing?

She got out of bed and grabbed her robe. She reached in her purse and grabbed something out.

"Follow me," she said trying to keep her composure. We walked down the stairs and Ray was watching television and he looked up. He looked between the two of us and a huge smile crossed his face.

"You were right," Mona said and reached him some money. I looked confused.

"What is going on and why are you giving him money?"

"Payback is a bitch ain't it! You can't seduce the seducer. I'm Ian Harrington and I'm the shit! NOT. You just been played!" She said jumping up and down high fiving Ray.

"Ray and I are friends and have been since freshman year in high school. We go way back and I told him about our bet. He played along and to tell you the truth, he is gay! We have never had a relationship and never will in that way. So you got played Ian," she said as they both fell out laughing.

I was stunned. She had somehow beat me at my own game. That little vixon. I was pissed on the outside but impressed on the inside.

I started clapping. "Well done. You were a formidable opponent. I'm proud to call you my girl," I said pulling her in my arms and kissing her.

"Thank you baby," she said kissing me back.

"It was nice meeting you Ian and I hope there aren't any hard feelings?"

"Naw, we good," I said shaking his hand. "You sure you're gay, because I usually can tell."

"Let's just say if Mona wasn't my girl, I would hit on you. I heard you two upstairs and it scared the shit out of me so on that note I will talk to you later Mona." He kissed her on the cheek and left.

"Ready for round two my slave," she said dropping her robe as I stared at her beautiful body. She grabbed my hand and led me upstairs.
