Get to Work (Courtney POV)

Courtney was distracted for most of the day, grappling with her own emotions and doubt. She knew why she asked him to let her eat his cum, because that seems to be all she can stomach now. But why? No matter how you slice it this made no sense, people do not become dependent on another person's cum, they just do not! Well she clearly fucking was, and her brain got fucked up in the chaos too! For example, she wanted to have him jack off so she could be fed, what she did not want to do was give the guy a damn blowjob! Top it off she just abruptly hired him, asked him to move in with her, and agreed to be his girlfriend! That's it I've lost my mind she thought to herself, but in all seriousness she could not resist this complete stranger. It felt like every time she ate his cum she lost a little more of her willpower when in his presence of him. She hated this she felt lost and at the mercy of a complete stranger. What's worse is that it'd make sense to her if this was a rival's dirty work, but her information network works quickly and efficiently. Before she visited him she had them dig up any and all the information in hopes he was hired by one of her enemies, or just some genius psychopath, or even an unwitting guinea pig! But nothing the guy was as white bread as it got. Basic crap like father died when he was five, has mother and younger sister, works for an advertising firm as a career pencil pusher. Really no dirt on him at all! The only blemish on his squeaky clean record was that he spent the night in jail once when he knocked someone out on his 21st birthday after his friend was punch first. God I bet he looked so manly and sexy that night she thought to herself. Wait no! She panicked she was thinking about him in a horny way again, not objectively like she wanted. Frustration boiled over and as she stood up and slammed her hands on the tables she was sitting at.

"GRAH! ENOUGH OF THIS!" This outburst would have been out of place for her regardless of setting, but it was 100% out of character for her in the middle of a new product meeting with the heads of all the departments. The poor sap from finance, who was explaining the potential ROI of the product during its first quarter of life, looked ready to piss his pants. Of course he would, when your usual cool, calm and collected leader suddenly has an outburst like that, guy probably figured he was fired right then and there.

"Uh, um, ehem, sorry for the outburst everyone I don't know what came over me. Would you all mind meeting again tomorrow perhaps?" Of course no one was going to say no, but questions swirled in there head about what that outburst was, and soon it was all anyone in the building could talk about. Well that and the mystery guy that had driven in with the CEO, mysteriously got a job (everyone swears they didn't hire him), and had had lunch with the CEO in private.

"Hey Court, got a sec?" Katia approached Courtney with concern on her face.

"What is it?"

"This rooms empty let's go there." The two enter an empty conference room and Katia locked the door for privacy.

"Do you want to tell me what the hell is happening with you?!"

"There is nothing going on with me Kat."

"Don't skirt the issue Court, you can act all you want when dealing with other but I know! Court when we left you yesterday all food tasted like ash and if you tried to force it down you'd throw up like a geyser. Not to mention nutrient IV drips left you with seizures. And now you're here today like nothing happened, and you look like you're the picture of health."

"That's very kind of you to say."

"KNOCK IT OFF! People don't just get over something like what you had! Especially when the top scientific minds can't even figure out what you had. Not to mention that guy you drove in with today, like for starters who the fuck is he!"

"Oh, that's Lucas problem solved right, are we done yet?"

Courtney was getting irritable by the questioning of her friend, but it was weird how annoyed she was. Honestly speaking the situation was strange, Lucas' cum made her this way clearly and she should be leaning on her genius friend for help. Something in the back of her head told her not to though. Was it fear? Truthfully yes, not only of it coming out that she was addicted to someone's cum, but also what if something happened during testing? God forbid something happens to Lucas during a test and they haven't figured out what was causing her needs. Well, suddenly she's truly fucked, she'd starve. I mean sure there was little risk, and most likely they'd just have him ejaculate into a cup every now and then. But still she wouldn't be taking any risks. No she'd keep thing close to her chest, for now at least.

"Court you know that's not what I mean! Did he do something to you? Tell me I can help."

"Kat, you trust me right?"

"Yes of course!"

"Then when the moment's right I'll tell you what you want to know, but for now just trust me. I know what I'm doing, you don't need to babysit me, okay?"

"*sigh* Fine, I'll drop it, for now. But you do owe me an explanation."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, now if you'll excuse me I do have a business to run." And with that the two conflicted women parted ways.

The rest of the day passed by with out much incident. Which was a relief for Courtney as she still grappled with her emotions.

*Knock knock*

"You can enter"

"Hey you ready to go?"

"Oh! Hello Lucas, Let's Go! Damn it! Courtney thought to herself. She didn't want to be this excited to see him, but seeing him made her heart flutter. They headed for her car in the parking garage while they talked.

how was your first day at GT?"

"Uh, yeah it was fine, a lot of people wondering why we were together throughout the day though. It was weird being noticed so much when I felt like a background character at all my other jobs."

"Heh, well I suppose that should have been expected. I think I owe you an apology for that."

"It's fine really, I'll just keep my head down as usual and I'll muddle through."

"Still neither of us no why this is happening to me, and I dragged you into all this. I'm sorry."

"It's fine really, if you're in trouble I want to help you Courtney."

Courtney scanned his face for any clue's on if he was the mastermind behind all this. Nothing but absolute sincerity, and a bit of concern was on his face. Courtney prided herself on reading others. She could even pick up on the slightest of micro-expressions. She made cut throat deals by calling any and all deals that were thrown before her, and corporate spies crumbled under her ruthless deduction skills. So Lucas here was either the greatest actor the world never knew, or once again the reality of the situation would slap her in the face. Lucas just had cum she was addicted to through no fault of his own.

"Listen Courtney, I have to apologize to you as well."

"What? Why? What did you do?"

"Well I've been unlucky when it comes to love, so maybe I built up expectations on what it would mean to be in a relationship. One such thing was that I'd move in with the woman I love. I know you invited me to live with you out of necessity, not love. That said I kind of strong armed you into a relationship with me, and it's been eating me up all day. What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to be in a relationship with me if you don't want to. I'll help you still, but I know that doesn't mean I have a right to your heart. I'm sorry about trying to force my way in."

Courtney hadn't had the easiest life. She'd fought to escape her old life constantly. She threw herself headlong into the shark infested waters of the business world. Now she struggles everyday to remain on the top in order to keep this ruthless world under her thumb. However, in this moment with him reneging on his biggest gain of the deal on his own she was faced with a kindness she'd never known before. The look of shock on Lucas' face said it all really.

"Eh?" Courtney put her hand up to her cheek and felt a tear running down her face.

"Courtney?"

"I'm, I don't know why either. I'm sorry it's not like I don't think there's any interest on my part, but we don't know each other. To be honest it feels like my head says one thing, but my heart says another."

"We don't have to rush anything Courtney we can take however much time you want."

"That's the thing though I'm... scared. I've been independent for my entire life, I had to be or I'd surly be dead by now."

"Geez I knew from interviews you struggling when you were growing up, but was it so bad you had no one to rely on?"

"It was, I don't want to go into it right now, but kindness and compassion were nothing but cruel jokes to someone like me. I'm just overwhelmed by you really. You have this incredible hold over me that millions would kill to have, and you haven't even tried to take advantage. Plus the one thing you requested you just took back. It'd make more sense to me if you tried to twist this to your advantage! I could fight you then, fight for my independence back. I don't want to be dependent on someone like this, why couldn't you be a foe standing in my way! Why do you have to be so kind to me!" Courtney felt bad once again she didn't want to unload on Lucas like that, but she couldn't help it her pride was hanging by a thread at this point as the tornado of emotions she carried inside her all day suddenly exploded out of her.

"Well even if you say that I won't stop being me. I want to help you because I care about you. Even if I don't know why, I am responsible for this whole situation we're in. If we end up together at the end then so be it but I won't abandon you regardless. However, you're going to need to rely on me, and I'll rely on you."

"That's easy for you to sa-AAH!" The normally collected Courtney would have noticed the big crack in the pavement, but the emotionally distraught Courtney not so much. Her heel got caught in the crack and snapped, but not before her ankled rolled in on itself.

"OW! OW! OW! FUCK!" Now she was crying for a different reason, her ankle was throbbing with pain as she sat on the cold pavement.

"Oh my god! Are you alright!?"

"I'm fine, I can handle a little pain."

"Well that's good, can you stand?"

"Yeah I got IT!" She yelp the last word as she tried to put weight on her ankle only to crash back onto the pavement in pain.

"You're clearly not fine. Please Courtney, didn't I just ask you to rely on me?"

"Haaaa, fine. Please help me get to my car?"

"Sure thing!"

"Wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Put me down right now! LUCAS!"

To Courtney's surprise Lucas didn't just help her up, and support her bad leg. He fricken scooped her up into a princess carry and was now walking to her car with her in his arms. She should be pissed yet again about this, but as she allowed herself to be cradled in his arms she felt safe. She could hear his heart beat and it soothed her as she lay helpless in his strong embrace. If this was how depending on someone felt, well, maybe depending on someone every now and then wasn't the end of the world after all. A small smile crept onto her blushing face as she was carried away.
