She walked out into the living room and realised Chunhua was not looking happy, "Oh I agree whole heartedly, Chunhua. There's a lot to be said for age, but I am not a young stud out to sow his wild oats and learn the ropes so to speak. So you need to back off already," Wang's voice was hard.
"Oh, Chunhua, You promised!" Changying was overjoyed that for once a man she thought she liked didn't fall into Chunhua's bed. But she was also heartbroken that her mother would try to do it again. She sighed resigned to life with Chunhua and walked to the door, "Don't say anything," Changying looked at her mother sadly, "I have heard it all before," and she walked out.
They drove in silence. Heading into the shadier side of the city and Wang pulled up at a warehouse. It was brightly lit, and she could see people milling around the entrance, waiting. She stepped out of the car when he opened the door and offered his hand. Even in the heels, he dwarfed her. Not just his height but he was solidly built. She didn't feel so chubby as she stood behind him when they stopped close to the entrance, and no one knew she was there until he pulled her forward having his name checked on the list, "Wang Wei plus one."
They walked in and he spoke cheerfully, "There are five artists exhibiting tonight. Let's see what they have to offer." Wang introduced her to many people as they walked around and she stood quietly at his side smiling and not saying much. Photography, digital art, painting, sketches and sculpture, each artist brought their own unique slant to erotica, from fairytale romance to hardcore BDSM, something for everyone so to speak. Some of the artwork was so explicit Changying felt she was witnessing extraordinarily intimate and sometimes painful moments, her over active imagination feeding her recent fantasies as she became lost in a collection entitled, 'Bound'.
Wang lowered his head to her ear, "You like the idea of this, don't you?" Her eyes looked back up at the photo. The girl in the picture was blindfolded and bound by her wrists to a rough stone wall facing her tormentor blindly. Legs wide showing wet thighs, the tormentor held a candle over the wax covered breasts, a single drip caught in motion. Wang slid his hand over her shoulder to caress her breast, making her let out an involuntary squeak. "Still sore after your scalding today?" He murmured hotly in her ear.
Changying shook her head, blushing deeply, but found herself arching her back slightly and pulling her shoulders back, wanting to feel more of his hand. She continued to gaze at the picture. "Lovely," he whispered into her ear and kept his hand draped over her shoulder playing with her nipple as they walked to the next one. While not aggressive like Chunhua, Changying enjoyed sex and the man standing beside her fondling her in public view made her feel extremely sexy in a naughty way. She hoped, even though she knew she shouldn't get involved with her boss, that he would take her home tonight.
"Ah there is Robin. I wanted to run into him tonight," Wang waved over an older distinguished looking gentleman. Changying smiled shyly at him as he came closer, "Robin, this is Changying."
"Hello, Changying," Robin smiled in her direction before looking her up and down in a decidedly overt way, "Nice Wang, new girl..." again a strange pause occurred, "friend?"
"Not yet," Wang replied, "but I do have one for you if you're up for a challenge."
"I do love a battle of wills. Let's grab a drink, and you can tell me of this challenge," there was a gleam in Robin eye and smirk in place as he led them to the bar.
She took the glass of champagne offered to her with a whispered "Thank you," as she mused over the introduction to this man. That was the second time she had heard that conversation today, New girl? The pause before the word friend and the corresponding answer, not yet.
Her reverie was interrupted momentarily as Jack Wei appeared in front of her frowning. "You should be home in bed little red, not here drinking champagne and looking at porn with the big bad wolf."
Changying grinned, "I just can't seem to say no to him, or you for that matter, did the tests come back fine?"
"Yes, you're a healthy specimen," he smiled at her.
Wang turned from his murmured conversation with Robin, "Jack! Great, look after her for a moment would you." He placed her hand into Jack's almost symbolically and walked a few paces away with Robin.
Jack smiled at her, and they made small talk, about how they each knew Wang. Jack's humour made her giggle and relax with him once again.
Jack sighed as Wang returned, "Take her home to bed, Wang, or I will. She is worn out."
"If you insist Jack," Wang picked her up and cradled her in his arms, "Hear that! Doctor's orders, I get to take you to bed," he chuckled, and she squeaked when he picked her up and strode out of the warehouse.
