Pole Position - IC

John

Sandi and I had a nice drive through the country side looking at places that were for sale, nice conversation, nice view, oh, and the landscape wasn't bad either.

When we got back to our B&B, I headed to my room to take a quick shower and change clothes into something a little more presentable. I was just heading toward sthe door when Sandi called up that Mark was here.

I almost ran itno her as I came through the door into the lounge area "Smells wonderful" I said to her as we walked into the room together. We introduced ourselves to Mark and sat down, waiting for dinner to get done.

I left the two of them chatting for a bit while I went back to the kitchen to check on the food......ready at last. I start dishing it up after quickly setting the table and taking the wine from the fridge.

"Come and get it while its hot guys! Hope you're hungry.....I've made enough to feed an army!"

They both came through to the dining table , talking away like the best of friends already.....looked like John had almost made up his mind. I couldn't help but noticing how handsome the pair of them looked sitting opposite me ..... good looks and each with a slightly different take on things. John so laid back and relaxed ..Mark more your typical Englishman...slightly more refined. Either way I wouldn't mind giving them a personal tryout at some point in the future. Damn I was getting horny......hope they don't notice too much.... it was those accents again. Now I had two to contend with.....geeeeeeeeez I was going to give those new vibrators a work out tonight!

Dinner with Sandie & John

Considering I'd only just met them both, I was surprisingly relaxed, especially as technically, I was their new boss, if they decided to sign on.

I'd already made my decision - Sandie was prettier than her file picture and from her CV I knew she'd be able to handle what I needed from her. (And perhaps some other things as well)

John was so relaxed....down to earth. We hit it off straight away.

I needed to see if he could do what the rumours said, but I didn't want to insult his intelligence; but I'd ask him anyway, tomorrow.

Dinner was a very pleasant affair. These two were great company. Sandie was a great cook.

I was impressed they'd hit it off so quickly. Perhaps they have already decided to sign up?

As we sat with the fabulous cheesecake and coffee I decided to speak and more than the pleasant small talk we had exchanged so far: "Sandie - thank you for a wonderful dinner, I haven't eaten that well for ages!"

"Sandie, John....I wasn't going to talk business, but since we're here and the mood seems relaxed, I'd like to ask you both for your opinions of me, and then - if you've got any questions before tomorrow?"

 

[cockslave]

sandie

"thanks Mark. It's been a pleasure getting the chance to cook for more than one. But remember if you get food poisoning......go to a different doctor! "

"Sandie, John....I wasn't going to talk business, but since we're here and the mood seems relaxed, I'd like to ask you both for your opinions of me, and then - if you've got any questions before tomorrow?"Mark asked.

I paused for a few seconds ...more to try and stop staring at them both than anything. God I hope we can all work together.....maybe even play together at a later stage...so much potential.I take a deep audible sigh before answering him.

"Well Mark I like what I've seen so far. You seem a nice and genuine guy, pleasant and with a good sense of humour. Good looks too which is unusual for the bosses of these type of teams.....which will have the wives of sponsors puting pressure on their men to offer deals. Whether you would be as friendly as a boss I don't know but I would love the chance to find out!

Questions...when were you planning on starting.........who pays for flights etc....if I said I needed a piece of equipment etc what would be my chances of getting it before I died...and when can I see the medical suite you have.

Oh and one last one ..what I your opinion on sleeping with female /or male employees? Inter team relationships?"

 

[schmoe_128]

John

I sat back and listened as Sandi quick fired questions at Mark, smiling at her energy, admiring her directness. As she finished, Marl looked at me before he answered her. "I would have to agree with her on everything, and actually, I can't think of any other questions for you. Except that the medical suite isn't as important to me as the engine shop. For the engines you're talking about using, I think it's going to need to be as clean if not cleaner than the medicl area. Think surgical room. Any bit of foreign material will grenade one of these things with the RPM you're looking at." I said, and sipped my coffee.

 

[Scooter1970]

A frank discussion

"Firstly Sandie - thank you for the compliment! I don't tend to receive many, so I make the most of those I do get!"

"To answer your other questions:

"I would like to start next week. If this means you owe your current employers a notice period or you can buy-out, give me the written conditions and I'll settle them. I'll also front for relocation expenses. I cannot stress how important this venture is to me."

"Relationships with colleagues don't worry me. If we all do our jobs, I don't mind what else goes on. I like to think I am openminded, and if I can be so bold, Sandie, no pressure, but if you were willing....." I left the rest of the statement unsaid.

"As far as seeing the Medical Suite, we can do that tomorrow. It's all set up. And as far as equipment, if you need it, you'll have it. In my view, if I am going to run the best team in the formula, I need the best people, using the best equipment.

I don't see the point in making people jump through hoops to get something. That goes for you too, John. If I'm missing something that's going to make the job easier, then tell me!"

"I want to win, so bad I can taste it. If it means spending another five grand, then so be it! I worked hard for twenty years to finance this dream and got a hefty settlement due to my ex-wife in the bargain, so I want this to work!"

"Ideally, tomorrow, Sandie will inspect the Medical Suite and tell me what's missing."

"John, you'll get to see the Engine Shop and Mechanic's area and likewise, if it's not up to scratch - tell me. I want Kendra to drive for us on her interview, preferably with a brand new engune you've built and helped Samantha, who I jope will become our Chief Mechanic; tune - and then we have all laid our cards on the table."

sandie

"Relationships with colleagues don't worry me. If we all do our jobs, I don't mind what else goes on. I like to think I am openminded, and if I can be so bold, Sandie, no pressure, but if you were willing....." I left the rest of the statement unsaid.

I laugh .....but smile too . Hoping Mark sees I wouldn't rule the proposal out . I look over at John too again smiling .Hell maybe before too long we could get together too. From the sounds of it Mark was offering us the jobs.

"So from that I take it the jobs mine Mark? If it is - a start next week shouldn't be a problem. Also never rule out any possibilities about anything else."

 

[schmoe_128]

John

I look at Mark with a bit of an astonished look. "Kendra? You mean Kendra Wade? You're kidding me, you got Kendra Wade to come and drive for you?" I said with shock. "She's the best female driver in america. Hell, in the top ten period, male or female. And damn good looking too if I remember right." I said thinking of the possabilities for this team, both on and off the track.

"I tell you what, if Sandi's in and you got Kendra coming, I'll give it a shot too. Depending of course on what happens at the track tomorrow." I said as I reached ofr Sandi's hand and give her a little wink.

 

[cockslave]

sandie

That wink from John told me all I needed to know for what might happen over the next few days. He knew as well as I did that the fun was going to start oh so very soon. I get the feeling house hunting will be on the cards for the rest of the weekend .....I'll be calling my solicitor in the morning to put mine on the market first thing Monday. It will mean a trip back to get my clothes and arrange for the rest to go to storage till I get somewhere down here. Maybe John could help and see a bit more of the country.

"that sounds about right.......... you men always think engines and cars first women and everything else after............"

I say laughing out loud

" I don't suppose you'd be willing to put us up here til l my place sells and ii get somewhere local Mark?"

 

[schmoe_128]

John

"Us?" I think to myself. "Hmmm, an interesting idea." If we come to an aggreement tomorrow, I'll need to fly back Monday and take care of things in the states." I say to Mark. "Don't worry about the flight, my return ticket's already bought, and a one way back won't be that bad." I say quickly. I wonder if he's feeling bombarded with information as Sandi and I both throw stuff at him, and hell, we don't even have a contract yet. "Mario's gonna be pissed I'm jumping out on him on short notice, but he'll live. He know's I've been looking anyway. My contract with them actually ran out about a month ago, so they don't have anything to say. Hell, he hasn't even approached me about a new contract yet."

"So, what do we have around here we can celebrate this with?' I ask Meg. "I don't know if wine is really the answer, we at least need some whiskey or something." i say with a big smile.

 

[cockslave]

sandie

I head through to my room and return with a botle of glenmorangie, a 12 year old malt.

"You don't expect a Scot to travel anywhere without a good malt do you? Shame on you ! I'll just be a second and get some glasses. Now raise them to the success of Team Freya!!!!"

We toast the new team....and as good measure I turn and give both men a kiss...maybe lingering just that bit too long to just be friendly.

"So if your heading home on monday John ...fancy a trip north of the border on Sunday to help me pack some stuff? A chance to see some lovely countryside on the way. Who knows you may even see a haggis running up the hillside?"

I smile at MEg as she returns with the bottle. "Very nice" I say as I open it and pour three glasses for us. We toast the team and Sandi gives Mark and I each a kiss. I look at her first with some confusion, but then with a smile. "So, I wonder if she's thinking both of us" I think to myself. The look i n her eyes gives me a pretty good idea. "Um, sure, I guess we could do that. What the hell. I can see part of the world I've never seen before." I say and kiss her on the cheek, waiting to ee if her mind is thinking what I thinkit is.

 

[Scooter1970]

It's all in the details...

I smile as I turn back to John and say:

"Yes, I hope to sign Kendra Wade, as lead driver, but it's not in the bag - yet. As you say, she is a great driver, one of the best. I hope she will join us; perhaps with one of your engines powering her, she'll be convinced!"

"I had assumed as far as tonight has gone, that you'll both sign on with me. If you have any reservations or more questions, we can address those tomorrow."

"Sandie - as far as temporary accomodation goes, speak to the owners here and let them know what you want. Ask them to invoice me, I'm sure it will work out well for all of us. Perhaps if they can be generous with their rates, we can recommend this fine establishment to all of our guests....?"

I take another sip of the single malt, raising my glass to them both in a silent toast to our success. I never really took the time to savour a good malt before, but now......and what a fitting occasion to enjoy a real classic example!

We chatted quite late in to the night, questions flying back and forth as different things occurred to each of us. We alreay had the beginnings of a winning team, the bond was forming very nicely and I was encouraged by the way Sandie did not dismiss me out-of-hand for my blatant come-on earlier.

I suspected, though, that she and John already had something going on and didn't want to upset that dynamic, either for the welfare of the team, or just for my conscience. If I was going to 'play' with her / them, she would have to invite me.

Eventually, I had to leave. I had been careful not to drink more than the glass of scotch, so I was Ok to drive, but wanted to arrive home soon, so I'd be able to make last minute preparations tomorrow morning at the track.

"Sandie, John, thank you both for a wonderful evening. I look forward to seeing you at the track tomorrow."

I stood and kissed Sandie lightly on the cheek, then shook John's hand. His firm grip told me what I needed to know - I could rely on him!

As I stepped out into the night, a light drizzle had started, but it couldn't dampen my spirits!

 

[cockslave]

sandie

As the banter went back and forth Mark said he'd have to call it a night and head home to sort out a few things for later at the track. As her kissed me lightly on the cheek to go I whispered in his ear...."Who knows what the future holds?"...hoping he'd get the hidden meaning. Before long I wanted to find out just how sweet he was and just how horny he could get me. So far that voice was doing wonders.. My knickers were soaked...........so much so I could swear the air was filled with the scent of my arousal.

After he was gone John and I tackled the dishes again.I was high as a kite ......new job.....new beginnings...some decent whisky in me.I threw some soapy water at him, ducking under his arm and running around the table as he tried to scoop the same and do it back. It started a crazy game of catch as we went round it a few times. I feigned first one way then the other until BANG! we collided. Our arms around each other stopping the other from falling.I reached up and kissed him.....firmly on the lips..letting him know I was game for whatever he wanted. Not caring that it made me a tart...we hadn't even been on a date yet!

"John what do you say we leave these to soak over night and do them in the morning.........."

 

[schmoe_128]

John

I shook Marks hand firmly before he left, to let him know I was definitely interested. "Thanks for the openness about the team" I said as I walked him to the door "Never had that at AG. See you in the morning then." I said as I closed the door.

I walked into the kitchen and Sandi had already ran the water for the dishes. "Now you're gonna get it" I said playfully as she threw soap at me. I chased ehr around the table a couple of times before finally catching her. As she kissed me, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time, an indescribable feeling as we kissed. I could feel the passion between us building.

"John what do you say we leave these to soak over night and do them in the morning.........."

Well, if Mark wants me to biuld an engine for Kendra to run tomorrow, I'll need to be at the track fairly early, but...." with that, I bent down and picked Sandi up, carrying her towards her room. "I say your room, you have the big bed." I say teasing her lightly.

 

[cockslave]

sandie

" Oh I say......... just like a knight sweeping the innocent maiden off her feet. Saving her from the cruel lord trying to ravish her...only I think you may have the same thing in mind........hopefully!!!

I hope you realise I don't always let a man have his wicked way with me before the end of the first month........Just something feels so natural with you."

He carries me through and lays me down gently onto the bed his body covering mine as our lips met for our first true kiss of passion. My hands snake around his head holding him to me as our tongue entwine together inside my mouth. John taking his weight on his forearms as he begins to kiss along my jaw, down the side of my throat....tonguing the dip where the collarbone meets it.

Oh the feelings that were stirring in me hadn't reared their heads for almost two years now. It had been about twelve months since I'd been with a man. That was the last time my ex and I had tried to reconcile our differences. The night I discovered I truly didn't like him as a person let alone love him anymore. But now ....tonight I felt as if the sleeping princess was being awoken by the prince's kiss.

 

[schmoe_128]

John

"Well, I'd tell you the last time I was with a woman, if I could remember when that was" I say only half joking. "Life for me for the last few years has been engines. And I've only ever had one serious relationship, and that was in college. So, don't think I expected this." I say as I carry her to her bed.

The passion of our kiss is something I haven't felt in years. As my kisses work their way down her neck to her collarbone, I shift my weight to free a hand and move it to her hip, up to her ribs and to her breast, massaging it gently as I look into her eyes to make sure it's still ok.

 

[Scooter1970]

Mark reflects

On the drive home, I thought back over the evening.

It was certainly one of the best evenings I can remember in quite a long time.

I was certain that John would join tomorrow. I could almost see him start to think of specs for the engine, as we discussed things for tomorrow.

I smiled when I recalled Sandie's comment, whispered in my ear....

"Who knows what the future holds?"..."

I hoped that I had understood her implied intent, by that comment...if so, I was going to enjoy working with her a lot more than I thought!

Her accent made me weak at the knees again!

I sensed she also liked my accent, as she seemed quite open to chatting with me.
My accent was strange for an Englishman, as I had a mixture of English Home-Counties, overlaid with a soft Florida twang, and a litle bit of South African thrown in for good measure, courtesy of my business dealings in various parts of the World.

I think the team will have a bright future, especially if Samantha Cadence & Kendra Wade turn up tomorrow, as well.

 

[molly_hunter28]

Kendra Wade

Kendra made her way back to her room early. She wanted to be ready for whatever tomorrow would bring for her. Her dinner had been delicious and now she war very tired. She took off her heels and then her dress. Kendra undid her bra and lay down only in a red satin thong.

Her eyes drifted closed as she feel asleep wondering about tomorrow. How things would go with the rest of the team. She hoped the would all get along well. Kendra would love for it all to work out. SHe needed a new team and this was a great chance.

That was her last though before sleep claimed her. She slept deeply until her phone rang for a wakep up call. She showered, dressed in a skirt and a cute little t-shirt. She probably would need to show her driving skills so she grabbed shorts and some sneakers before putting on her heels and leaving for the track.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

Sam had arrived in town earlier than expected, and that gave her plenty of time to relax, find her hotel, and get settled in. She carried her bag, the strap slung over her shoulder, as she collected her door card, and then stood by the elevator. She tapped her foot against the carpeted floor, then stepped inside once the doors opened up.

"Up we go." she said pushing the floor button.

 

[Scooter1970]

Saturday Morning- at the Track

After I had showered, shaved and dressed, I drove to the track and changed into my spare race-suit.

As it was only 10am, I wanted to give the Honda a spin. It was sounding a bit rough, but it went fairly well.

I wanted John to rebuild a similar engine, in another car and for he & Sam to tune it and then for Kendra to test-drive it.

After a basic check in the engine compartment, checking coolant, oil & brake-fluid levels and tyre pressures, I got into the Honda and started it up. It sounded nice, but I was sure, after today, it would sound sweeter and go faster!

I pulled out of the pit garage and onto the track and concentrated on making a smooth warm up lap, followed by tight laps, with slightly faster times.

This was what life was about! There was no feeling like having a powerful machine at your command, responsive and precise. Feeling the forces pulling you in the seat at every turn and then the push backwards as you bury the throttle again.

I had obviously lost track of the time, as I was sure on my last lap, posting close to my best lap this month, I had seen a couple of figures near the pit wall.

I pulled into the pit lane and into the garage and shut off the engine.

As I glanced at my watch - I saw it was almost time to meet my new team!

I stepped briskly out of the car and took off my helmet and sat it on the driver's seat.

As I walked back into the pit garage I looked around for my guests...

 

[molly_hunter28]

Kendra Wade

Kendra arrived at the track just to watch whom she though her new boss finishing up on the track. Not bad at all she thought. She stood off by the garage and waited for him to finish. She looked around wondering if any of the others were going to show up soon.

The boss pulled into the garage and Kendra walked toward the car. The door opened and she smiled into the warm face that soon stood. Wow, thats going to be my boss was her first thought. Second was she could very easily get used to working for him. He was delicious, a favorite word of hers.

"Hi there, I'm Kendra Wade," she said holding out her hand.

Mark meets Kendra

"Kendra - a pleasure to meet you!" I smiled.

She was more beautiful than her photo, her dark hair, framing her face and although she looked confident, there was a hint of something more.

I took, and shook her hand. For a woman, she had a firm grip; 'but then, she is a World-class racing driver' I had to remind myself.

"I'm Mark Campbell, Manager of Team Freya. Glad you could make it"

"I was hoping some of the others would be here soon, Kendra. I am now getting older and although I love racing, I can't do it all on my own any more. I need a younger, uncompromising driver to take the team forward."

I watched her face for a reaction.

 

[molly_hunter28]

Kendra & Mark

"I can understand needing someone that knows how to handle a car. That I can do, something I've been very good at too. I may sound overly cocky but I'm good at what I do. You know that or you wouldn't have asked me here," Kendra told him as she looked at the car. Not wanting him to think she was only gazing at him.

"Will this be the car that I would be driving should you find me qualified?" she asked as she leaned in getting a better look inside of it.
