NO WALL

"Ruby are you okay?"

"Where were you?"

"Isn't that Bart's suit jacket?"

Bart watched the ladies gather around Ruby-Jean in concern and comfort. It was already eleven-thirty, and the guests were getting ready by getting their glasses together for the midnight toast. Thankfully nobody was questioning Keith's absence; good the bastard didn't belong here anyway and didn't add anything to the atmosphere.

Bart had all of the guests gather in front of the steps in the main parlor so that he could address them with a little speech with that midnight toast.

"If I could have everyone's attention, I know we're all pretty excited about the midnight toast but I'd like to say a few words before we ring in the new year" Bart announced "I have this annual New Year's dinner party each year to show how much I appreciate each and every one of you"

"I know that my reputation says that I'm a cold boss who only cares about work and work all the time but that's simply not true. While it's in the Yeager blood to be hard working we do take the time to acknowledge the important things in life as well. Recognize your family, friends, and collogues"

Ruby-Jean felt Jackie gently squeeze her hand but she couldn't help but notice Bart's almost direct eye contact with her as he spoke. The message of course was for everybody but Ruby had a strange feeling that this was mostly directed towards her.

"I actually do this in honor of my late mother" Bart continued "you see she loved the holiday season but she especially loved New Years. She taught me that it was a time to be reflective over what you went through over the year and to look forward to what's to come in the next coming year"

"So I guess you could say I've taken positive traits from both sides of my family"

"When are you going to get started on your own family Yeager?" one of the guests joked and everyone laughed which made Bart laugh too.

"Well that could be one of the things that I can look forward to in the new year"

Bart searched the crowd for Ruby-Jean again and when he gave her direct eye contact this time

"I'm hoping that some people become a little more open about themselves in this new year too"

It was now eleven fifty-eight.

"I sincerely wish all of you a Happy New Year and be refreshed to come back into the office on Tuesday" Bart closed his toast "and yes I'm allowing you to have Monday off so please rest"

Everyone chuckled and raised their glasses.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Ruby-Jean was getting nervous watching all the guests start to leave in droves as she stood awkwardly by the large staircase. Most of the guests booked a hotel nearby which was the smart thing to do considering all the drinks they consumed; guests who lived closer and didn't drink as much were going straight home.

"Ruby, do you need me to give you a ride home?" Jackie asked

"Actually, I'm going to ask Mr. Yeager to give me a ride home" she replied

"Ohh what does that mean?" Leah leaned in amused "I see you still have his suit jacket too"

"He just wants to talk to me" Ruby-Jean insisted

"He can't just talk to you when we go back to work next week?"

"Leah has a point Ruby" Melanie added "talks after midnight tend to get steamy"

"Hey if you don't want to stay and talk to him I will" Leah insisted jokingly

"Okay Leah let's get you home" Christie laughed gently gesturing her friend to the door.

"You sure you're going to be okay?" Jackie with concern

"I'll be okay" Ruby-Jean reassured even though she doubted it "he seemed serious, and I want to keep my job"

"Call me when you get home then okay?"

"Okay"

Once her friends left Ruby-Jean made her way to the closest restroom....well the first one she could find in the massive mansion that was Bartholomew Yeager's.

Ruby-Jean must have washed her hands at least four times. To be fair she really did have to relieve herself but a part of her was stalling herself from facing Bart alone with nobody else.

She took a deep breath and reminded herself that while she was intimidated and infatuated with Bart she knew he wouldn't try to hurt her. The man saved her from sexual assault just an hour or two ago.

The restroom she was in was gorgeous and made of what she assumed was the finest materials because the man was a Yeager after all so why not? Turning to exit Ruby-Jean remembered to put Bart's suit jacket back on; she swore he gave it to her on purpose.

When Ruby-Jean stepped out of the restroom she was greeted with complete silence. Everyone had left; well everyone except her of course. She had to go so badly that she hadn't necessarily been paying attention and realized she was in a hallway full of walls with classical art.

There were so many classics like Gustav Klint's Kiss, Johannes Vermeer's Girl With A Peal Earring, and Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus framed beautifully. Ruby-Jean would have never pegged Bart to have a thing for art and she found herself admiring his collection. As she reached the end of the hallway there was an oil painting that made her stop and had her intrigued.

Ruby-Jean let out a gasp of awe at the large-scale painting....it was rather intimate, an erotic piece of art. It was two lovers, but you couldn't see their faces. The woman seemed to be the main focal point of the paint with her gorgeous brown skin, her curvy hourglass figure, and her wild corkscrew curls.... curls that were like Ruby-Jean's and just as dark reddish brown.

The contrast in color came in from the man. The woman was sitting or rather straddling the man's lap as it was obvious that he was buried deep inside her and was worshipping her as he cradled her. His white hands clutching her possessively with one hand resting at the small of her back and the other one clutching her ass.

Ruby-Jean oddly felt a little aroused by this painting and there was something very familiar about it at the same time.......it couldn't be.... could it?

"I see you've found one of my most prized possessions"

Ruby-Jean nearly jumped out of her skin hearing Bart's low and deep voice; and low and behold he was right behind her standing in the frame of the doorway.

"I had that commissioned about a year ago" he went on to say as he walked over to join her "the artist is very talented and captured my vision perfectly; I may have to contact him again for future commissions"

"It is beautiful" Ruby-Jean admitted "it's rather blunt though"

"Sometimes I like and appreciate when things are straight to the point; I'm not one to beat around the bush" Bart replied

"Yeah..."

Damn this was awkward

"Come" Bart said breaking the silence between them again "I've been waiting to have a word with you all evening"

Bart had always had a rather authoritative but gentle tone to his voice and Ruby-Jean couldn't help but take notice to it tonight.

As Ruby-Jean began to follow Bart she remembered his suit jacket and she tried to return it.

"Are you cold?" he asked not accepting the return just yet

"...a little"

"Hold on to it for a little bit" Bart insisted "I'm going to light a fire in the room we're going to so that should warm you up"

The room that Bart led Ruby-Jean to was very cozy, small, and intimate with it's red and gold décor. The colors were a comfortable and lazy post-Christmas vibe with it being the wee early hours of January first. There was a large window with a gorgeous view of the city skyline in the distance as snow gently fell from the night sky.

Just as Bart promised he got started right away on the fire and the flames gave the whole room a warm glow.

"Have a seat" Bart insisted gesturing to the couch "would you like a drink or a snack to calm your nerves?"

"I think I've had enough drinks and food for tonight but thank you" Ruby-Jean said sitting down on the couch.

Bart sat down on the couch next to Ruby-Jean and she couldn't help but to ask "....how could you tell I was nervous?"

Bart chuckled "You've been working for me for a little over a year now; you don't think I know how to read your body language by now?"

Ruby-Jean felt herself blush "Yeah I guess that was a stupid question"

"No question is a stupid question don't you know that?"

"I know what you mean I just....never mind"

"Well let me ask you this did you have a nice birthday tonight?"

"I had a nice time" Ruby-Jean said carefully "you have a nice place and the party was fun"

"But it wasn't how you were planning to spend your birthday though"

"No" Ruby-Jean admitted

"I'm pretty sure you didn't anticipate being harassed by Keith either" Bart pointed out reading her mind again.

"Well I guess it was kind of my fault too though" Ruby-Jean said "I was engaging with Keith to avoid you"

"I appreciate the honesty" Bart said "that still didn't give Keith the right to take advantage of you; so no Ruby it's not your fault; I'm filing a report to the police next week"

"Thanks for stopping him"

"No problem, I wasn't going to allow him to do that"

"I'm actually glad you brought up the topic of avoidance ironically enough" Bart chuckled "you seem to be a professional on that"

"Mr. Yeager---"

"First off we are not at work. It's after midnight and we're in my mansion" Bart said gently and firmly "you call me Bart or Bartholomew but no Mr. Yeager right now"

"Second yes like I said you are a professional at avoidance or am I lying?"

".... what is this about?"

"I think you already know what this is about" Bart said simply looking her in the eyes.

Ruby-Jean quickly looked away from him and kept her gaze on the fireplace, but Bart wasn't having that, and he gently turned her face back around to look at him

"Ruby-Jean...."

".......I don't work there anymore"

"You don't work where anymore Ruby-Jean Marie?"

"I don't work at.....I don't work at Cumming Happily Ever After anymore" she confessed

"Why did you stop working there?" Bart asked knowing full why but wanted to hear her say it

"I wanted to"

"Don't lie to me Ruby"

"....I stopped working there because you called"

"Who called? I'm sure this ‘you' person has a name"

"It was you Bart" she said finally using his name "you called"

"I did call" Bart confirmed "I'm glad that we have now established that"

Ruby-Jean frowned a little and said "You shouldn't have called in the first place"

"Did you tell your other clients that?" he challenged her

"My other clients weren't my boss from my main income job" Ruby-Jean said "I suggested another call girl and I transferred you"

"You did" Bart said "she wasn't you though and I couldn't get into her because she wasn't you; I wanted you Ruby-Jean"

"It wouldn't have been professional" Ruby-Jean insisted "I couldn't be your assistant and talk dirty to you"

"Was that your main concern?"

"Yes"

"Well you don't work there anymore so what's holding you back?"

"You're still my boss"

"Does me being your boss stop you from being attracted to me?"

"I'm....I'm not attracted to you"

"You sure about that?"

"Yes"

"Look me in my eyes and tell me that" Bart said turning her attention back to him "you're a terrible liar Ruby-Jean"

"I'm not though" she said stubbornly although her body language said otherwise

"I've caught you stealing looks at me in the office sometimes" Bart added "looks that linger a little too long for you not to be attracted to me"

"There are plenty of women in the office that look at you that way too" Ruby-Jean pointed out

"Now you're deflecting" Bart chuckled "but I see that you're no longer denying it either"

Ruby-Jean bit her lower lip in embarrassment and Bart caught that; he didn't want to feel ashamed he just wanted her to know that the feeling was mutual.

"What do think of that painting you came across?" he asked her

"....the one with the two lovers? I thought it was blunt like I said earlier"

"Did it feel familiar to you?"

"....oddly enough yeah it did"

"I had the painting titled Meine Liebe Rot"

"What was that?"

"Meine Liebe Rot" he repeated "it's German for My Love Red"

Ruby-Jean gasped in awe, and she could no longer be in denial. Ruby was the color read after all. Why else would her boss commission a painting of a black woman with reddish brown corkscrew curls being made love to by a white man cradling her? That woman was her and that man was him. Bartholomew Malcolm Yeager was attracted to her and perhaps was in love with her.

"Bartholomew...."

"You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say my name" he confessed his voice dropping a few octaves "I want to make you say it over and over"

Bart reached over and slowly slipped his suit jacket off Ruby-Jean's shoulders and chuckled at the slight goosebumps on her arms

"Surely you must be warm by now"

"...I'm getting there"

"Well let me help you get there"

Before Ruby-Jean could say anything further Bart's lips were on hers bringing her into a kiss. Her breath hitched in her throat for a minute in surprise but eventually she fluttered her eyes closed and leaned into the kiss and gripped Bart by his shoulders.

Bart released her lips and quickly dove back in this time his tongue pushing into her mouth for the first time. Ruby could taste the faint alcohol from the drinks earlier on his lips and she moaned.

Bart then gathered Ruby-Jean onto his lap; looping his arms around her waist. Ruby-Jean slipped her hands under Bart's shirt sliding them along his sides. She pushed her hips into his and she could feel his muscles flex underneath her fingers.

Bart's fingers on the other hand sent electricity through Ruby Jean as they skirted across the fabric of her dress on her stomach. Ruby-Jean broke their embrace when she felt herself jump at his touch.

"Are you okay?" Bart asked concerned "is this moving to fast for you?"

"No, it's fine" Ruby-Jean insisted "it's just.... it's been a while"

"What does a while mean?"

".... I haven't had sex since I was twenty-one" she confessed

"Ten years?"

".... yes"

"That is way too fucking long to go without someone worshipping you" Bart said kissing her cheek and jawline "who was it some selfish boy from your college days?"

"Yes, it was a little embarrassing" Ruby-Jean admitted "I didn't cum, and he came too fast"

"You don't have to worry about that" Bart promised "I'll make sure you cum and many times too; you are first tonight"

"I want you inside of me Bart" Ruby-Jean confessed

"And how can I say no to a request like that?" he said kissing her.

Bart then took Ruby-Jean into his arms bridal style and carried her into the spare bedroom that was adjacent to the cozy living room, and he left the door ajar for the heat from the fire to come in.

He switched on the small lamp on the bedside table to bring some light into the room much to Ruby-Jean's dismay.

"I need to see you" Bart explained "all of you, every inch of you"

"Bart---"

"Don't be shy Ruby" he said "don't recall your last time I want you to be comfortable; that asshole isn't here but I am"

Ruby-Jean was completely vulnerable now and at the mercy of Bart. He continued to kiss her while gently pushing her down into the lush king size bed and proceeded to push down the straps of her dress. When he discovered that she had been braless this whole time her breasts were revealed to him.

Nice, round, and tipped with dark brown nipples. Bart cupped both breasts gently and Ruby-Jean gasped a little as the pads of his fingers grazed over her eager nipples; making them prickle and harden even more.

"I've been wanting to take these tits in my hands since I've laid eyes on you" Bart confessed to Ruby-Jean giving her breasts special attention "I love the way your nipples respond to my touch"

Bart continued to peel off Ruby's dress until she was down to her panties and nothing else. He planted light kisses on her belly causing her to moan more

"Oh God you're so beautiful Ruby" dragging his hands up and down her body "look at all of what you've been hiding from me for the past year; you're even more than I imagined"

Ruby-Jean could feel her arousal dripping from her pussy and onto her panties now and spoke

"Bart....can I undress you too?"

"I thought you'd never ask" he chuckled "the way you were feeling under my shirt earlier you seemed pretty eager"

Bart laid out on the bed and pulled Ruby on top of him so that she was straddling him. The only barrier between them was his suit pants and her panties and she could already feel the growing erection underneath him in his pants.

"I'm completely at your mercy" he said gently "you can touch me"

It suddenly clicked for Ruby-Jean about what exactly she asked to do and it was sinking in now.

Bart read her like a book and took her hands and his and motioned her to unbutton his shirt.

"Is this how you're going to be?" he teased "playing shy and being horny at that same time?"

"I---

"I can feel you getting wet Ruby-Jean" he cut her off "you're practically soaking my pants; you can't lie to me anymore when your body is your Judas"

With those words of encouragement Ruby-Jean she reached for the bottom of Bart's shirt and tugged it up and helped him shrug it off. She ran her hands all over his washboard toned abs and she wore he had been sculpted by the Greek gods.  

Bart had a lot nerve to talk about what she had been hiding from him for the past year when had all of this going on. Then this man had the audacity to have the sexiest happy trial she had ever seen. Usually pubic hair was gross but with the landscaping that Bart had going on it was a garden leading to his belt buckle.

"I see that smirk" Bart chuckled "what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about everything you've been hiding from me for the past year too"

"Well you haven't seen everything yet have you?" he said referring to his lower half "unbuckle me and you'll see"

Ruby-Jean unbuckled the belt of Bart's pants and proceeded to fight with his zipper; all the while her breasts jiggled much to his amusement. As soon as Bart was completely out his pants and boxer briefs Ruby-Jean gasped at Bart's jutting dick that was standing at attention for her.

Now Ruby-Jean figured that Bartholomew Yeager was no small man, but did he really expect her to take all of that into her body? He was rock hard, and the veins were pulsating; the mushroom head was blushed red and he already had precum pearling at the tip.

"It will fit" Bart reassured her reading her mind

"But I---"

"No more avoiding this Ruby" he said softly sitting up "I can't go on without having you"

Bart looped his fingers on the sides of her panties and proceeded to pull them down while stealing a few grasps of her ass. He whispered in her ear

"I can't wait to see your beautiful pussy; I already know you're wet Ruby-Jean" he said "don't deny it anymore"

"....yes"

"Soaking wet from just a few words and caressing those tits"

As soon her panties were off Bart spread Ruby Jean's legs apart and gave out a moan as her pussy was finally revealed to him. It was neatly trimmed and covered with a soft dust of curls. He loved it; she was beautiful.

Bart was so used to being with women who had the tendency to completely shave themselves including Sloane Carroll. Most of the time he was the only one with pubic hair. Ruby-Jean didn't have too much pubic hair but it wasn't too little but it was just right. It showed that she wasn't ashamed of being a grown woman and he had to admire that.

"Bart!" Ruby-Jean gasped as he dived his fingers inside of her and stroking her now engorged walls "that feels so....ahh!"

"Oh I know" Bart replied speeding up the motion of his fingers now "I know it feels good baby you're dripping all over my fingers"

"I....I don't....I don't want your fingers" Ruby-Jean managed to moan out "I want your dick"

"I know you do" Bart replied loving the back and forth between them "you have to cum for me first then I'll give you all of my dick"

The only sounds in the room now were Bart's fingers going in and out of Ruby-Jean's slippery wet pussy, her moans of pleasure, and his low grunts.

"I feel you" he encouraged her "I feel you tightening around my fingers; cum for me Ruby"

Ruby-Jean bit her bottom lip now wriggling around trying to push Bart away as her pussy was becoming way too sensitive now.

"Don't fight it Ruby" Bart growled in her ear lowly "you're fighting it and you need to cum"

"Bart I can't---"

"Yes you can" he said "cum for me Meine Liebe Rot"

 With the slip of his German tongue and a few swipes on her clit with his thick thumb; Ruby-Jean did cum and she came all over Bart's hand as if it were his dick. Bart gathered her in his arms once more as she rode out her orgasm.

"Stop, stop it Bart!" she managed to moan as he still teased her now overly sensitive clit

"I can't stop" he replied kissing her neck and jawline rocking them back and forth "you have no idea how long I've waited to make you cum"

"How long?" Ruby-Jean dared too ask

"Way too long" Bart growled back "you have the most beautiful afterglow and I want to see it again and again"

"You're going to make me cum again?"

"Yes" Bart said "with my fingers, with my dick, with my tongue---"

"With your tongue?"

"Of course---Ruby-Jean you never had a man eat you out before?"

"....no"

A part of Bart was relieved by that because it meant that he would be the one to introduce her to that pleasure at the same time it made him sad that no man granted her that pleasure.

"Looks like I'll have to eat you too then" he said "you'll feel so good"

Ruby-Jean blushed at the thought of Bart doing that to her and she swore her pussy got even more wet than it already was.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it" Bart said interrupting her thoughts "right now I'm going to give you my dick"

Ruby-Jean's heartbeat fast as Bart flipped her back down on the bed and he pinned her down getting in between her legs.

She felt him fully grip her ass as he lined up the tip of his dick against her slit.

Bart gave Ruby-Jean a reassuring look and caressed her face and gave her more kisses too.

"I'm going to go slow first okay" he said "it should go in easy because we already got you ready just relax and I promise it will feel so good"

".....I trust you"

Bart slowly and carefully eased himself inside of Ruby-Jean as he fully penetrated her. In response Ruby-Jean gripped Bart's back as the feeling of a man inside of her for the first time in over a decade made her almost feel like a virgin.

Bart gave Ruby-Jean some time to adjust to his girth because it was a lot to take in as she was taking all of him in; at the same time he was determined to give her the pleasure that full penetration had to offer.

Once Ruby-Jean got adjusted; feeling pleasure instead of discomfort she moved her hips as a signal for Bart to speed up his pace. She grasped his back hanging onto him as he drove into her deeper and harder. Bart began to move his hips in the same rhythm as Ruby-Jean's all the while keeping a firm grip on her ass as if it was his stake of claim on her.

Bart peppered hot wet kisses all over and between Ruby-Jean's breasts as he murmured words in German that she could understand. The only phrase she did understand was Meine Liebe Rot.

 It felt good, he felt good, Ruby-Jean never imagined that sex could feel this good. Just like that Bart read her mind again as he pumped into her, he murmured "You feel so good Ruby, so good wrapped around my dick"

He slipped his hand between her folds and massaged her clit as he continued to drive into her.

Ruby-Jean clutched the bed sheets as she met each of Bart's thrusts and her breasts bounced. The main sound in the room was the skin between them slapping and the bed springs now squeaking.

"Oh God!" Ruby-Jean groaned "Fuck! Bart"

"I knew you had a dirty mouth" Bart chuckled "that's what I wanted to hear when I called you on that hotline and that's what I'm hearing now"

Bart's thrusts were long and hard; pushing deep into Ruby-Jean's pussy, hitting all the walls that had been long ignored for well over a decade. She loved when Bart grabbed her ass and squeezed it hard; she loved the chill and thrill she got even when she felt his fingers spreading her cheeks apart and teasing her tight hole.

"You have such a tight pretty pussy" Bart praised her "I'm tempted to take your ass too"

Bart nipped at her neck with his teeth as he grabbed a hold of one her bouncing breasts tweaking her nipples again. He panted in her ear saying more dirty words; some in English and some in German.

"I'm getting ready to cum" Bart said in a low voice "and when I do I want you to cum with me Ruby-Jean"

"Make me cum" she challenged him

"Your request is my demand"

Bart quickened his pace and snaked his hand between the two them and gave Ruby-Jean's clit one gentle tap and just like that her orgasm took over and she moaned out. Her body tensed and shuddered as the orgasm ripped through her and pussy convulsed, and her clit tingled like crazy.

Bart wasn't that far behind as his voice got deeper and gruffer as his strokes got harder and faster. As Ruby-Jean was still coming down from her orgasm; Bart came spurting his seed deep inside of her. It had dawned on Bart that he hadn't even bothered to use protection or ask Ruby-Jean about birth control.

He could say it was the heat of the moment but at the same time he had wanted Ruby-Jean for so long that all he thought about was having her raw. The primal part of him wouldn't mind seeing her grow big with his child and he had never felt that way about any other woman before.

The two of them collapsed on top of each other and held each other close and basked in the afterglow. Bart pushed Ruby-Jean's wild hair out of her face and caressed her face as she gave him a smile and he whispered in a sing song voice

"Meine Liebe Rot"

"Meine Liebe Rot"

"Meine Liebe Rot"

With all the energy drained they both fell asleep quickly. The morning would bring what the morning would bring; all that mattered now was that they finally broke down that wall. The wall that separated them for the past year.
