Kate and Michael shared a lovely breakfast at the Marriott before she left the next morning. She could not stop looking at him over the poached eggs, capers, salmon, and fruit bowls. He made her feel so special. She was simply madly in love. And was fully looking forward to seeing him again. Soon.
...
Kate made it home by noon, but her heart was still in Times Square. She and Michael had been texting back and forth while she was on the train. The connections afforded by these simple texts meant so much to her. His final text to her before she got home was this: "Never change. C u soon, my love." Her heart literally skipped a beat upon reading it. She gasped slightly and smiled. After 46 years of living, she'd found true, bona fide happiness.
...
Home was pretty much the same rat race as when she'd left it. Her husband and kids hadn't picked up a thing in the last 24 hours. She literally counted eight half-eaten cereal bowls that were peppered across the house. Both kids needed rides across town, immediately and urgently, apparently, the second that she walked into the house. And Husband was completely MIA.
Normally, this all would have stressed Kate out. But the Michael effect was so powerful for her.
"Sure, you guys get in the car. I'll clean up when I get back, no problem! Let me know where to drop you off." she said.
...
Michael's work would apparently keeping him in town for four solid weeks. They didn't yet have a specific date planned, but given that she is down in Manhattan 5-6 days a week, she was confident that she'd see him again. And soon. For the first time in a very long time, Kate was simply happy.
After she dropped the kids off and came in the house, she surveyed the daunting task of cleaning this mess. The sink was full. As was the dishwasher. And she could barely open the laundry room door given the massive pile of laundry strewn on the floor.
"Fuck it," she thought.
Kate laughed. This thought and language were totally out of character for her. But she didn't care.
Kate went straight to her bedroom to drop off her bag. The second she saw the bed she had a quick realization. She'd brought her toy to the city but ended up having no need for it whatsoever. But here it was in this bag. And she was home alone, mind and body simmering with thoughts of being with Michael.
...
Kate plugged her toy in and laid on her bed. She started to play back the events of last night. The suite in midtown Manhattan filled with flowers. The champagne and view of the Hudson. Michael's charming conversation. And his brilliant smile. The choice that he'd had her make while she was laying there in heat.
She put the toy up against her clit. She teased herself as Michael would have made her do. She refused to turn it on until she absolutely had to.
The king sized bed of the Marriott stood vividly in her mind's eye. She remembered when Michael tied her up. And blindfolded her. And when he took out his big hard cock right up against her face ...
Bzzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzz
A beautiful orgasm took over Kate's body. Dreaming of Michael. She was slightly disappointed in herself for not being able to hold off until she replayed the entire night in her mind's eye. But there was always tomorrow.
Kate fell asleep in the daylight, snuggled in her bed. Beautiful - and in love. With thoughts of being with Michael.
...
Tuesdays were always busy for Kate at work. She had this wretchedly early 9am staff meeting to which she was always late. And this time of year was quite busy in her office. Incoming students from various programs came to the campus in June. On a typical day this time of year, she might meet with as many as two dozen students individually to address all kinds of issues and needs. She loved her work, but she did feel a tad overwhelmed at times.
"Enjoy your classes!" Kate beamed to an incoming freshman girl with whom she'd just met for a solid half hour.
"Thank you so much!" replied the student, quite genuinely.
Kate truly cared about the students she worked with and she was universally appreciated at work for this fact.
Her office was pretty much Grand Central Station this time of year and she wasn't surprised that someone else was waiting to meet with her. She peeked out of the corner of her eye into the foyer that was outside her office. She couldn't believe her eyes. Michael had come to pay her a visit!
She had to admit to feeling mixed about this fact. Her family regularly would visit her at work and all the staff knew them well. Maybe ...
Before she had time to think about it, she realized that Michael had it all figured out.
"Excuse me, are you Kate?" beamed his British accent as he stood in the doorway.
Kate smiled and played along. "Yes I am. Can I help you?"
"Yes, my daughter, who is presently in London, is thinking of applying to this university. I have heard that you are a great resource for information. Might I have a few moments of your time?"
"Of course, please come in," she responded. Kate felt so naughty right now. What was Michael thinking?!
"Kate, if it's OK with you, I'd like to close the door. My daughter has some personal issues that I'm hoping to share. They relate to her academic history."
