Chapter Text
Jennifer Jareau was the CEO of a nationwide pharmaceutical company, Elixium. Her best friend and head of marketing and publicity, Penelope Garcia, had helped her build the company from the ground up. 4 years in, they were one of the leading pharma companies in the entire United States and a huge part of Europe. She often was found in several big cities across the globe, fine dining and scratching up deals with big wigs as she went.
JJ was doing well for herself at the young age of 26, coming from a small town in Pennsylvania and now based in Washington D.C. She had met her best friend whilst at Stanford, JJ studying chemistry and biological sciences whilst Penelope studied business and media communications – both graduating at the top of their classes. The idea for a big pharmaceutical company came to them one drunken night at a college bar and they immediately started planning for when they left CA and found a dingey little office building up for rent in D.C.
From there on, they had managed to build a team of some of the best chemists the country had to offer, their company excelling far beyond their wildest dreams. Yet, JJ still felt some part of her life was unfulfilled. She had an amazing house, she had everything she could’ve wanted and was happy, but there was still something she was missing out on. A need so deep that it plagued her far more than she liked to admit.
“Miss Jareau, Mr Jacobs is here for your 2 o’clock meeting.” Hannah, JJ’s personal assistant, let her know through the intercom system linked from the desk outside into her own private office.
“Thank you, Hannah, send him in please.” JJ returned quickly, releasing the button and letting out an annoyed sigh.
It was often that a lot of her time was taken up meeting with certain types of people. Usually, sleezy middle aged men who looked at her for far too long before making uncomfortable and inappropriate comments before quickly being dismissed with their tails between their legs. JJ had learnt over the years of being a CEO of such a large and successful company that men were not always the most welcoming of her job title. She was always quick to shove that down however and get into business. Oliver Jacobs – the man she was meeting with right now, was the head of finance for the company.
“Oliver, it’s good to see you again.” JJ stood from her desk when she saw the older man walk through her doors.
“Hello Jen, looking good as always.” Oliver was quick to take in the blonde in her suit with a smirk on his face.
“Now, now. What can I do for you today?” JJ asked, shaking the man's hand and returning to her seat.
“Elixium is doing better than ever. We’ve been working out asses off on the 3 rd floor racking up the numbers for this year's figures and we’re up 106% in revenue.” Oliver told her and JJ looked at him with a huge smile. Almost doubled what they had taken in last year, meaning she would finally be able to pay her employee’s a bonus that she knew they all deserved.
“That’s wonderful news. I think a pay rise is in order, and maybe a little end of summer bonus?” JJ asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Sounds good boss, we will get it sorted for the next pay date.” Oliver nodded.
“Was that all?” JJ tilted her head just slightly in question, meeting the older man’s bright green eyes.
“Have you heard what they’re working on in the basement at the moment?” Oliver queried.
“As the CEO, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t know what Callahan and her team are heading up. Paving the pathway for new cancer treatments is ground-breaking.” JJ let out a small laugh and grabbed the top file from her tray.
“How much are we going to be selling that for?” Oliver asked, the man was always full of questions.
“We want to be competitive, but not take the piss. Depending on how successful their research comes up, I will be in discussion with another pharma company in Europe who are doing similar work about costs.” JJ told him with a smile.
“Just keep me in the loop.” Oliver nodded.
“Of course, when don’t I keep you updated Oli?” JJ rolled her eyes.
“Good point boss. Well, I guess congratulations are in order, and just in time for the holiday weekend.” Oliver clapped his hands together as he rose from his seat. “Any big plans?”
“Penelope and I will be fine dining and enjoying a few drinks, I'm sure.” JJ laughed.
“A bunch of us are heading to the bar on 5 th later this evening if you fancy dropping by for a round. You know they love it when the bosswoman makes an appearance.” Oliver winked at her, and she promptly waved her hands at him.
“Maybe, will see what time I get out of here tonight.” JJ paused. “They only love it because I buy them shots.”
“Laters Jen.” Oliver smirked at her, giving her one more glancing look up and down before turning to leave. She was in peace for mere minutes when her doors were swung open once again.
“JJ, we’re going out out tonight.” Penelope rushed, almost jogging towards her in excitement.
“We are? What happened to movie night in the hot tub with Kate?” JJ chuckled.
“Well, you, me and Kate are heading into town and meeting up with the finance geeks instead.” Penelope grinned. “Just saw Oli in the elevator and he invited us.”
“Of course he did.” JJ rolled her eyes again. “I guess a couple of drinks won’t hurt.”
“That’s the spirit! Besides, we’re off till Tuesday - who says we can’t go a little wild this weekend?!” Penelope inhaled sharply, her excitement getting the best of her.
“You say that every weekend, we drink two bottles of wine each and you tell me to never let you do it again because of the hangover.” JJ laughed loudly.
“Stop being an uptight CEO and let yourself have some fun for once Jayje. You of all people deserve to add a bit of excitement to your life.” Penelope raised an eyebrow, knowing exactly what her best friend was like.
“Alright!” JJ held up her hands in surrender. “You win Penelope. One night, out on the town.”
“Heck, maybe you’ll even get laid.” Penelope quipped her head to the side. “God knows you need it.” she mumbled.
JJ just shook her head with a little laugh. Penelope was right though; she did need to get laid. It had been far longer than she liked.
“If one more guy comes up and asks me to dance, I'm leaving.” JJ huffed, leaning back in her chair and taking a swig of her whiskey.
“Come on, it’s part of the experience!” Kate giggled, nudging JJ with her shoulder.
“Callahan, you’re married – that massive rock hanging from that finger deters any man in here!” JJ scoffed. The chief biologist had become a close friend when she joined the company, fitting in with JJ and Penelope almost instantly. It wasn’t often they all had time off together to enjoy each other’s company, usually taking to JJ’s massive house and having movie nights and hot tub parties instead of a night out at a bar.
“Jennifer Jareau, you need to find yourself a nice man to take you home and give you a good seeing to.” Penelope sniggered.
“Yeah right. Half of the time they just want you to suck their dicks and can’t then get it up again for the main event.” JJ rolled her eyes.
“Just give ‘em some Viagra, that’ll soon solve the problem!” Kate cackled loudly, high fiving Penelope and taking a large gulp of her wine.
They had only been in the bar an hour and JJ was already hitting her limit with socialising. She wasn’t drunk, not even buzzed after the few whiskeys she’d consumed – it annoyed her how her tolerance seemed to be far more than her two friends sat either side of her.
“Okay, one more and I'm going home.” JJ announced.
“Oh, come on!” Penelope groaned. “You’re no fun.”
“I am fun! I'm just not feeling it tonight.” JJ shrugged.
“What can we do to make it fun for you Jayje?” Kate piped up.
“Find me a guy who can go a few rounds and I’ll be more than pleased.” JJ let out a breathy laugh at the request.
“You just wanna get railed six ways to Sunday and actually get an orgasm out of it.” Kate laughed.
“Exactly!” JJ threw up her hands.
“Have you ever dabbled in BDSM Jayje?” Penelope asked, sipping on her cocktail through a straw.
“Uh, no. Not to my knowledge.” JJ furrowed her brows.
“You would definitely remember dipping a toe in that pond, I can tell you that for a fact.” Penelope winked.
JJ blushed slightly at the thought. Not that she knew a lot about it, but it certainly piqued her interest, pondering on the endless opportunities she’d have to reach mind blowing pleasure. JJ thought she was as vanilla as they came, she’d not even kissed a woman, let alone done anything relatively kinky.
“It turns you on thinking about it though, doesn’t it?” Penelope looked at her again, an eyebrow raised and a sly smile on her lips.
“I- uh... I don’t really know enough about it Pen.” JJ swallowed harshly, her face getting hotter with every passing second.
“That’s great, makes you the perfect subject for being taught all about the kinkier side of life.” Penelope grinned.
“Pen-”
“Ooh, there’s a club not far from your house! We could go there tomorrow.” Penelope interrupted, rushing with excitement.
“A club? They have clubs for BDSM?” JJ looked at her bemusedly.
“Oh, JJ honey, you’re in for a treat.” Penelope giggled.
“I think I'll miss out on that adventure. Leave you two lovely, kinky fuckers to it.” Kate sniggered.
“Pen, I don’t know...” JJ breathed.
“Jayje, if you don’t like it, we can leave straight away. Just give it a try - you never know who you could meet.” Penelope waited somewhat impatiently for JJ’s response, almost bouncing in her seat and she sipped on her cocktail again.
“Fine! But if there’s any weird shit going on, I'm outta there.” JJ relented, knowing her best friend was one of the most persuasive people on the planet. That's why she was the chief of marketing.
“This is going to be so good!” Penelope squealed, clapping her hands together and rousing the attention of several people around the bar. JJ shook her head, laughing to herself as she lifted her almost empty glass to her lips.
Maybe it was going to be good... she couldn’t rule it out completely until she at least saw what there was to offer.
