Chapter 5 Making Him Work for It
On Monday morning Emily wore her longest skirt and kept all but her top button closed on her blouse. She wore flat black closed toe shoes and minimal makeup. She intentionally arrived at the office fifteen minutes before Steve. She took her laptop power adapter out and plugged it in under the glass table so there wouldn't be a need for Steve to crawl down by her feet.
As soon as he entered his office he noticed her power adapter under the table and he was dismayed. He knew she had plugged it in so he wouldn't have to or, rather, so he wouldn't have the excitement of being under the table at her feet. Then he looked at Emily and noticed her rather boring appearance, flat shoes, and toned-down look. She was still very pretty of course but she was intentionally proper and unsexy.
As they started their day Steve waited for Emily to ask if he had masturbated at home Saturday night. She didn't. She seemed suddenly uninterested in Steve's personal life. She acted as if they hadn't seen each other at the club and she hadn't totally rubbed his cock through his pants.
In an attempt to initiate stimulating conversation Steve said, "It was nice to see you at the club Saturday night."
Emily looked at him thoughtfully and pursed her lips. Finally she said, "You saw a lot of me, didn't you Mr. Harris?"
He noticed she didn't call him Steve. He wondered why she was being standoffish. He said, "Yes uh, you looked incredible.
She looked at him blankly and said, "I've already told you Mr. Harris, I'm not an object. I'm not something for you to drool over and manhandle whenever you want."
She glared at him and he knew this conversation was not going well. Emily continued, "How's your wife Mr. Harris? Did she make it home ok?"
"Oh yes thank you," he said, "It was really great to see her."
Emily was trying to slow things down but she really was curious about Steve's sexual state. She said, "I trust that you two, uh, enjoyed each other's company?"
Steve said, "Oh about that. Well, almost. I mean she was willing but uh, oh never mind."
Steve stood and turned away. He walked over to the couch and sat down. He had inadvertently spurred Emily's interest. She went over to the couch and sat with him.
"Do tell Mr. Harris," said Emily with an interested look on her face.
He said, "Emily I, I really don't want to talk about it."
"So," said Emily with a knowing smirk, "You still have an achy little problem don't you?"
"Uh well, no, not really," said Steve.
"Mr. Harris, did you break my rule?" queried Emily, with a serious tone.
"No, no, Emily, I didn't, mastur... uh, you know," said Steve.
"No, I don't know," said Emily, her level of interest rising.
Steve confessed, "I uh, I sorta finished before I could get that far." He stared at the floor and he could feel his face getting hot.
Emily smiled in silence for a long moment then she burst out laughing. "You blew early! You didn't even get the chance to have sex with your wife?"
Steve's face burned with embarrassment.
"Ok," said Emily gleefully, "I need more detail. What happened, you saw your wife naked and you busted a nut?
"Emily please," said Steve, "I really don't want to talk about it."
"Ok Mr. Harris," snapped Emily, "Have it your way." She stood and said, "What's on our agenda for today?"
Steve was suddenly regretful. Deep down he enjoyed Emily's playful side and he wanted to have sexual conversations and interactions with her but it was too late for today. He didn't want to attempt to continue the conversation and seem desperate.
Emily was able to smoothly transition away from flirty conversations to all business which is exactly what she did. She transformed into the most appropriate college intern that anyone could imagine.
In some way, Steve resented her for it. She was so sexy and enticing but she alone was in control of their interactions. If she wanted to have playful sexy fun, she did. If not, she didn't. It was as simple as that.
As the day wore on Steve tried to think of things to say or do to let Emily know he was open to her sexual games but he didn't want to be perceived as weird or perverted.
Finally it was after four o'clock in the afternoon and Steve decided to, "knock off early" and say something. He said, "I have plenty of time to give you a foot rub, if, if you want."
Emily moved close to him and looked in his eyes. She pursed her lips thoughtfully and said, "I do enjoy your foot rubs."
She saw his eyes light up in anticipation of touching her. Then she crushed his hopes and said, "I don't think so Steve. You've obviously not gotten the message yet."
Steve was confused and slightly annoyed but he managed to hide it. Then he noticed that Emily's laptop power adapter was still plugged in under the glass table. He said, "Uh Emily, would you like me to get your power adapter?"
Emily looked at it and said, "No, it's fine. I don't need it. I'll use it there tomorrow."
He frowned. It was now official that playful Emily was on hiatus. He couldn't fathom why she had flipped or what it would take to bring her back. All he knew was that he missed her sexually playful side.
Steve and Emily both left work a little early. When Steve arrived home he walked into the kitchen and everything was spotless, as usual, except for one thing. There were two empty wine glasses in the sink. They had traces of red wine.
Steve walked on through the living room and down the hall. He heard the shower running and went into the bathroom. His wife, Sarah was in their large shower. He said, "Hi honey."
Sarah had just finished and turned the water off. She said, "Hi honey, how was your day?"
"Good," he said, "Just another day really."
"Can you hand me one of those towels?" said Sarah.
Steve admired her sexy wet body as he handed her a towel. He felt his manhood firming as her watched her. She wrapped the towel around her head then held out her hand and said, "One more."
He handed her another towel. He stared at her large breasts as she quickly dried then wrapped it around her body, covering her from her breasts to high on her thighs. She stepped out of the shower and Steve moved close to her, pulling her into an embrace.
He pressed his erection into her pelvis and said, "I love you honey."
She smiled up at him and said, "Yes, I can feel it."
He leaned down to kiss her and she gently held him away. She said, "Uh, honey, I just showered, maybe uh, maybe tomorrow night okay?"
Steve was obviously disappointed after ejaculating prematurely on the bed the evening prior. He wasn't hopelessly horny but he did want to have sex with his wife. He stepped back then remembered the kitchen sink. He said, "Did you have a visitor today?"
Sarah said, "Why do you ask?"
Steve said, "Well, there are two empty wine glasses in the kitchen sink."
Her face dropped for a moment then she recovered. She said, "Oh, that, uh yeah, Lisa stopped by to pick up her shoes."
"Ah," said Steve. He stepped into the large, walk-in closet and pulled off his jacket. He hung it up and looked at his wife's wall of shoes. He saw the expensive yellow Louboutin shoes. He picked them up and said, "Honey, aren't these Lisa's shoes?"
Sarah looked at her husband and her mouth dropped open. She quickly said, "Shit, Lisa and I had some wine and got to visiting and I forgot to give her the damn shoes." She laughed nervously as she stepped into the closet and dropped her towel. She knew she could distract her husband with her naked body.
Steve looked down at her, sexy body and large breasts, smiled and said, "Boy honey. It's a good thing you are so gorgeous."
"Thanks sweetie," said Sarah. She winked at him.
The rest of the week Emily kept wearing her "good girl" outfits and avoided bringing up any risquΓ© conversation. She wanted Steve to miss her playful side and make him work to draw it back out.
He did a lot of looking and standing close to her but she never really said anything overtly sexual or even interesting on a personal level.
Emily made an effort to change her body language as well. Whenever Steve moved too close she would turn or move away. She was always very short and direct in conversation, never straying from the business at hand.
Things weren't going well at home either. Steve's wife seemed emotionally unavailable and each night she managed to find a reason why she wasn't "in the mood" for intimacy.
With a lack of interest from his wife, Steve began to focus more on Emily. He knew he couldn't have sex with her but he had enjoyed their sexually charged interactions in the past few weeks.
He kept turning her comments over in his head. Things like, her claims that he had objectified her and she didn't want to be "mauled". He did regret grabbing her butt and it finally dawned on him. That could be her problem and the reason she had gone "cold" so to speak.
Finally, by the end of the day Thursday Steve couldn't take it anymore. Emily had packed away her laptop but, once again, she left her power adapter plugged in under the table.
She and Steve were both standing in his office. Emily said, "Have a good night Mr. Harris," she turned to walk out.
Steve blurted out, "I'm sorry Emily."
She stopped, turned, looked at him and said, "What are you sorry for Mr. Harris?" She stared at him blankly, trying to act surprised at his apology.
He said, "I'm sorry for putting my hands on you and disrespecting you last Friday after the meeting."
She smiled warmly and walked up very close to him, placing her palm flat against his stomach. He felt a rush of excitement at her touch. He was wondering if she was going to grope him again. She tilted her head and said, "Very good Steve. Now that wasn't so difficult was it?"
"No," he said, as he looked at her sheepishly, waiting for her to slide her hand down to his crotch. He was horny from his increasingly frigid wife and he felt his manhood stir.
