As Jackson emerged from the bedroom, he found Isabella inspecting his living room with an appraising eye. Her gaze lingered on the modern art piece hanging above the fireplace, a splash of vibrant colors that he still wasn't sure he understood.

"So, you're into abstract art now?" she teased, raising an eyebrow. "Or did you just throw paint at the canvas and call it a day?"

"Hey, it came with the place. It's either worth millions or absolutely nothing.

"Sounds about right," Isabella laughed. She turned to face him, her eyes traveling up and down his body. "Well, well, look at you. Even without a shower, you're still rocking that disheveled charm. It's working for you, Jackson."

Jackson felt his cheeks warm at her compliment. He ran a hand through his messy hair, suddenly self-conscious. "Thanks, I think. Um, are you heading to work? You look pretty dressed up for a casual visit."

She smoothed down her skirt. "Indeed I am. But I couldn't resist stopping by to see how you were settl

    With Natalia's expertise guiding their investment strategy, Quantum Holdings began deploying capital strategically. They acquired minority stakes in promising tech startups, purchased commercial real estate in emerging neighborhoods, and invested in a diverse portfolio of stocks and bonds. Six weeks after their initial meeting in Jackson's penthouse, the core team gathered in the main conference room of their now fully operational headquarters. "Ladies and gentlemen," Jackson announced, "we're officially in business. As of this morning, Quantum Holdings has completed its first major acquisition, a controlling interest in Meridian Technologies." "The AI company?" Charles perked up. "They're doing groundbreaking work in machine learning." "Exactly. And now they're doing it with our backing." Jackson displayed the financials on the large screen. "This gives us an immediate foothold in the tech sector and positions us for significant growth." "The press release

    "Let's talk details. Everyone gets a base salary of half a million per year, plus performance bonuses." Jackson held up his hand to stop the inevitable protests. "Non-negotiable. You're all worth it."Matthew whistled. "Half a million? That's more than I make in two years.""Well, now you'll make it in one." Jackson poured more scotch. "I want your full attention and commitment. The money ensures you can focus entirely on building this with me.""What are we calling this venture?" Isabella asked, already in marketing mode. "We need a strong brand identity from day one.""Quantum Holdings," Jackson said without hesitation. The name had come to him in the shower that morning—a subtle nod to his mysterious benefactor."I like it," Charles nodded. "Mysterious but professional.""First order of business—I've arranged for us to tour potential office spaces tomorrow. There's a building on West 53rd that's promising. Twenty floors, recently renovate

    Jackson woke to sunlight streaming through the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows and the pleasant weight of Natalia's head on his chest. Her hair spilled across his skin, and her breathing came in soft, even puffs. He resisted the urge to wake her, content to savor the moment. When she finally stirred, her eyes fluttered open, and she looked momentarily confused before recognition dawned. "Morning," he murmured, pressing a kiss to her forehead. She stretched like a cat, her naked body sliding against his. "What time is it?" "Just after nine. Plenty of time before your meeting." "Mmm." She propped herself up on one elbow, studying his face. "You look different in the morning light. More... real." "Is that good or bad?" "Good." She traced a finger along his jawline. "Definitely good." They showered together, a languid affair that turned heated when Natalia dropped to her knees on the marble floor. Afterward, they enjoyed breakfast on the terrace: fresh fruit, pastries, and strong

    Inside, the villa was warm and welcoming, the automated lighting system having dimmed to a soft glow in their absence. Jackson led Natalia to the master bathroom, where the massive marble tub dominated one wall. Jackson fiddled with the controls, and water began flowing into the tub. He added bath salts and oils from crystal containers arranged on a nearby shelf. "Lavender okay?" he asked, holding up a bottle. "Perfect." She dropped her towel, standing naked and unashamed as she watched him prepare the bath. "You're good at this." "At what?" "Taking care of a woman." She stepped closer, running her fingers down his chest. "Most guys would be passed out by now after all that activity." "I'm not most guys." He pulled her against him, his hands cupping her ass. "And I'm nowhere near done with you yet." The tub filled quickly, steam rising from the scented water. Jackson helped Natalia in before joining her, settling against the sloped back with her between his legs, her back to hi

    He reached down, delivering a sharp slap to her clit that made her yelp in surprise and pleasure. "You like that?" he asked, doing it again. "Fuck yes," she gasped. "Do it again." He alternated between fucking her and slapping her clit, watching as her eyes rolled back in pleasure. When he felt her getting close, he reached up and pinched one of her nipples, twisting it just enough to make her gasp. "Oh god," she moaned. "I'm going to come." "Not yet," he commanded, suddenly pulling out of her. "Turn over. On your hands and knees." She complied eagerly, presenting her ass to him. He took a moment to admire the view before delivering a stinging slap to her right cheek. "Ah!" she cried out, more in surprise than pain. "Too much?" he asked, massaging the reddened flesh. "No," she looked over her shoulder, eyes dark with lust. "Do it again." He spanked her other cheek, watching as the pale flesh turned pink under his hand. "You have such a perfect ass," he murmured, delivering a

    Jackson continued his ministrations, his cock growing harder with every little sound she made. The water created a unique sensation as it flowed between their bodies with each movement. "I want to try something different," he said, his voice husky with desire. "Something we haven't done yet." "I'm listening." She turned in his arms, her eyes dark with lust. "There's a garden path just down those steps." He nodded toward a stone staircase leading from the pool area down into the landscaped grounds. "Very private, very secluded." She raised an eyebrow. "You want to fuck me in the garden? Under the stars?" "The thought crossed my mind." His hand slid down to squeeze her ass. "Unless you're not feeling adventurous..." "Oh, I'm plenty adventurous." She reached between them, wrapping her fingers around his cock. "Lead the way." They climbed out of the pool, water streaming from their bodies. The night air felt cool against their wet skin, causing Natalia's nipples to harden into tigh
