Sydney's P.O.V.
“You have reached the Law offices of Ashton, Hamilton, and Associates. Augustus Hamilton’s office, Sydney Davis speaking how may direct your call.”
“Hello Sydney,”
My brow nits together in response to the shrill voice that comes over the line for the 3rd time this morning “This is Jessica DuPont calling back, would you please put me thru to Augustus I need to speak with him as soon as possible.”
Has this bitch gone mad, what on earth has Augustus done to this woman? Can you say STALKER, she’s called here a million times this morning and it’s not even 10:30 yet.
Augustus told me that ,he was not taking any calls from that “crazy ass bitch Jessica”," Not under any circumstances", his words not mine.
Gripping the volume control of my headpiece pressing the button as hard as I can to adjust the sound of her high-pitched tone. I take a cleansing breath so I don’t cuss her condescending ass the hell out for disturbing my work for the 3rd time this morning before I reply with, “I’m Sorry but Mr. Hamilton is still in a meeting, would you care to leave a message with his voice mail.”
“No Sydney” She bites out, I can hear the hatefulness roll off her tongue in waves lawd does she kiss her mother with that mouth, no wonder he is not taking her calls. “I would not like to leave a message in his voice mail,” her voice goes up an octave, “his voice mail is full!”
I so desperately want to tell this nutter that just maybe if you stop calling here every hour on the hour he just might find it in his heart to call her crazy ass back.
“ You just tell that no good … just tell Augustus that Jessica called him and that it is of the up most importance that he calls me back as soon as possible , Thank you”
Crazy bitch slams the phone down.
Shit I hate it when Samantha’s kids are sick , not only do I have my work to pour over , but I also have to answer the phones until a temp gets here and with the background check it will be after lunch before I get any relief.
I wonder what princess DuPont, did to piss Augustus off this time.
God only knows how the hell he deals with her shit, her shrill voice alone makes my skin crawl.
Sighing to myself, I need to get back to work on this proposal I have in front of me. This is of the up most importance to me. If all goes well, I will have merged two of the largest Investment and financial institutes on east coast, this is the first high power client case I have had the chance to be lead of the law team on, this case is the movin on up to the east side case for me. My chance to prove that I am the new blood needed to take this firm to the next level and hopefully to become a partner in the firm in the long run.
Augustus has been extremely helpful in many areas concerning this case as always, thank god I have this wonderful man as a best friend and colleague. So to celebrate my success with the merger I’m going to invite Augustus to a Red Sox, Yankee’s game in New York. With him being a diehard Sox fan and me a diehard Yanks fan it should be one hell of a good time and a great way for me a kid from Etowah,(meaning nowhere in Cherokee)North Carolina to blow off some steam after such a stressful case.

I landed an internship with Ashton, Hamilton, and Associates two years before I graduated from Harvard Law School as one of Augustus’s case researchers. Well before he; himself became partner, following in his father and grandfathers footsteps to become one of the Law Firms brightest young associates who is now the firm’s most aggressive partner.
Lucky for me he saw something in me that day, I along with fifty others like myself were called in to be interviewed for the four open internship spots with a chance to become an associate upon graduating and of course passing the bar. He and I just clicked from the moment we met each other, and I have been his right arm for seven years now.
Once I graduated Augustus pulled all nighters studying with me, made sure I ate right and kept a good sense of humor while my nerves were on end and the stress of passing the bar looming over my head, thank god for that because without him by my side keeping me strong I don’t think I would have passed the bar and would have missed the chance and career of a lifetime. To be picked as one of four people out of fifty to work in one of this country’s top law firms with offices not only in Boston M.A. but all over the world was saying a lot for the lost little round brown girl I was when I left Duke University in N.C.
The two of us have gotten close since he took me under his wing seven years ago, he has taught me a great deal in that time and he treats me like family. I know if I ever need anything Augustus has my back. Which is good because I don’t have anyone left in my family, My parents passed way when I was young in a freak Am Track derailing and my Grammy, “She raised me” died on my 18th birthday.
A year into my internship I found myself in need of a new place to live, my roommates being the party animals that they were did not bode well with the long hours I worked and classes so my lack of rest was starting to show in my grades and me losing very important documents that were a part of a case I was working on with Augustus. Long story short I ran to him tired as hell balling my eyes out trying to explain that I had lost everything and I felt like I was going out of my mind with the lack of sleep because of my living conditions. Like always he had backups of said lost items and saved my ass by renting the 3rd floor apartment of his brownstone on Mass ave and not charging me an arm and a leg to live there.
So anytime I need him he is only a few feet away from me and vice versa. Not only did he rent me a Lovely two bed/ bath apartment with an eat in kitchen that would make any southern girl do a happy dance while planning all the meals she was going to whip up in said kitchen, hard wood floors, large living room and den. He also allows me to use his personal gym in the basement of the brownstone that comes equipped with a relaxing lap pool and I love the lap pool.
He taught me how to eat right and get my weight under control, helped me find the right style of clothing to fit my curvy body so I look tasteful and elegant at all times. One could say he has molded me into a graceful lady that would have made my Grammy proud and I am lucky to have found him. By the grace of God and the help of Augustus I graduated from Harvard Law at the top of my class with a great internship that tuned into an even better career move.

A few hours, a missed lunch and 10 phone calls from one pissed off Miss DuPont later, as if on cue Augustus comes strolling in my office as BB Kings I pay the cost to be the boss flows smoothly from my iphone doc speakers. A smirk gracing his luscious lips. His golden locks slicked back on his head, his piercing blue eyes zooming in on me making me feel like I was his prey. All 6’4 inches of his well toned body draped in classic black Armani from head to toe. A bottle of 20 years old single malt scotch in one hand and two rocks pour glasses clinking together in the other.
I feel a light sheen of sweat break out over my top lip and my panties get wet as he moves with the grace of a panther he stops in front of my desk placing both glasses and bottle down with a small thump. I look up at his crooked grin. He clears his throat and asks me with that deep voice of his that flows over my body like the finest silk, “Care for a drink beautiful? I cross my legs, and tell my pussy to leave me alone. I pull my bottom lip between my teeth as I clear my throat before a smile of my own breaks out on my face. “Yes please this case is killing me I could use a drink or four” I laugh as I stretch my body and crack my neck to get rid of all the built up tension in my body from being hunched over documents all day.
Augustus hands me the drink before walking over to my leather couch. As he lounges back on the couch he pats the seat beside him for me to follow his lead. I stand from my seat and cross the room with glass in hand and as I sit down, Augustus reaches for my feet taking my heels off one at a time. Gently laying my feet in his lap before placing my shoes on the floor beside him, he lightly runs his fingers up the bottoms of my feet making me giggle before gently massaging them with his strong and oh so talented fingers. He has told me in the past that giving me foot massages helps him think, who cares as long as he touches me. He clears his throat before he speaks, “Sydney, I was thinking if your free tonight that we could grab a bite to eat at that little Thai place you like over on Tremont ave, There are a few things that I need to discuss with you.”
Scooting down and relaxing into his wonderful touch. I take a sip of the soothing scotch feeling the warmth of it as it and the foot massage Augustus is giving me wash away the stress of my day. I shake my head yes as my eyes roll into the back of my head a small moan slips from my lips.
“mmmmmm yeah that feels sooo good August, sure why not Thai would be great after the day I’ve had sounds like a plan to me”
He then goes on to ask me how the merger is coming and I tell him it would be a lot further along if I did not have to stop and answer the phone a million times today. That the least he could have done was talk to that screeching banshee, Jessica so she would stop calling every hour. Laughing at my response a sound that I love to hear, he smirks at me before he says to me “no worries that crazy bitch will stop calling after tonight, as a matter of fact she is part of the reason why I need to talk to you”. Having gotten my full attention with that statement I pull myself up lean over to place my glass on the table before clasping my hands together and wiggling my brows at him giving him the oooo goodie you have gossip now dish look. A deep chuckle rumbles from his chest and he says, “Nope you have to wait til dinner and I’ll tell you everything”. pouting I relent and ask if he is ready to go because I’m starving having missed lunch and I really want to know what he wants to talk to me about.
Patting my legs so I let him up he says he needs to get some papers from his office and he will meet me by the elevators in five. He then reaches for my hand I think to help me stand but instead places one of the most arousing kisses on my palm that I have ever had in my life. A shiver runs up my spine and I look at him like what was that. My mouth falls open, my pussy starts doing its own happy dance, and my mind starts chanting stand up and kiss his sexy ass you fool. He pulls me up from the couch into a bone-crushing hug I feel his warm breath on my ear before he whispers to me “we have much to discuss”, and he places another soft kiss on the lobe of my ear before nuzzling my neck while taking deep breaths inhaling my scent. My heart is beating out of my chest. Shock hits me like a hammer in the head and I feel his cock harden against my stomach as he holds me tight to him and a with shaky vioce I whisper, “I guess we do”.
He pulls back from me and I release my hold on him and whimper at the loss of his warmth. He takes my chin in his hand and gently lifts my eyes up to meet his darkening pools of blue and says to me “ five minutes my love” before brushing his lips over mine, turning quickly away from me and leaving me with my mouth wide open and my mind to wonder what the fuck was that….
