Callie Williams sat in her office looking at the list of people that were going to be invited to the annual fundraiser. She recognized a few but several were unknown. She wanted to somehow familiarize herself with them. She popped up her computer and began "googling" each one. Most were older men and woman that had begun starting new traditions to make sure their companies did their part to help the Earth.
Several offered incentives for those that rode to work on a bike, carpooled, and even those that owned a hybrid. Then she came across a Colton Mathews. His website showed him as the head of Mathews Industrial, a company that was making paper and other paper products all out of recycled materials. It was fairly new but doing extremely well and seemed to be heading in the right direction.
She rolled over his name and clicked on it bringing up an image. She expected someone like the others, an older man. Yet Callie was greeted to the sight of a dark haired man somewhere in his mid thirty's to early forties. He had the bluest eyes that seemed to pierce through her even though they were only on the screen. He was handsome, even though he wore a suit she had a feeling he was not the type to act like one. There simply put was something about him.
She kept her eyes on the screen till there was a knock on her door and her assistant said she was leaving for the day and would see her tonight. She waved her on and began turning things off and with a final glance shut down her computer. It would make for an interesting night she thought to herself.

Colton Mathews took his invitation to Earth Day fundraiser and reread it. He was all about doing his part. His parents had instilled that into him very early on in life. He needed to respect what he was given and if possible give back. Finally his company was in a position to do that and he would. This was only the start. Obviously the fact that he made various products from recycled trash was good but he wanted to do more.
He would be donating a large sum to the funding of research on alternative fuels. It was through the company hosting the party it would all be done. He had found Going Green by accident looking at the governments own website. He had found the starter of the company, a younger woman almost thirty, with ideas like his own.
The fact that her green eyes and chestnut hair hit him like a punch in the gut helped too. Hell he was a man and the woman was attractive but it was more her ideas, her ideals that set him off. He liked that she knew what needed to be done to try and educate and save the planet. The fact that she created a business to help with that was remarkable.
He decided it was time to get around and it was a black tie night. So he undressed, he looked himself over in the mirror. He was in great shape for a man at forty-five. He looked a little younger and that came from him working out and not simply staying behind a desk. He stepped into the hot water and washed his hair, then his body. He was excited to see the young Miss Williams tonight and it showed, well at least below his waist. He laughed and thought, typical male, see's a beautiful woman and look out. He finished and toweled off. He then dressed in his suit. Colton thought he looked like a secret agent in the thing. He took the invitation and the keys to his hybrid and off he went.

Letting the water run over her Callie sighed. She always loved the annual party. It brought out a side in people that was caring and helpful. She knew most of the attendees were doing there best to help and the new ones, well they were too. That of course led her to think of the new man, Mathews.
The man was very good looking, the dark hair, and baby blues. From what she could tell he had a great body. He obviously kept in shape she thought as she turned off the water. Her hands reaching the oversized vanilla colored towel. She dried her body and then added some warm vanilla and brown sugar lotion. It wasn't too strong and smelled delicious.
Naked she walked into her room and began dressing. She had always felt comfortable with her body. Callie was lucky enough to have natural perky breasts and slim hips. Men seemed to always notice her legs that seemed to continue on and on. She slipped into a very small lace thong and garter set. She then rolled on the black stockings, which with her fair skin worked nicely.
She slipped her arms in a lace demi cup bra that made her look downright seductive. Then she went back to dry her hair and put curlers into it. She put on very little makeup as she believed in natural beauty. Then she slipped into a deep emerald green dress. It was after all for Earth day. Her feet slipped into beautiful strappy black heels and she turned looking in the mirror. Running her fingers through her hair she grabbed her bag and keys and went off to make sure the party was beginning smoothly.
*** The party had begun by the time they both arrived. Both mingled through the room, moving steadily closer to saying hello. Before they knew it they were in the same group of people and the conversation seemed to lull.
"Miss Williams, I take it," he said handing her his hand.
She took it and smiled seeing who it was, "Yes Mr. Mathews but call me Callie."
There was something electric that jumped between them at the contact. He knew he didn't want to let her hand go right away so he did something old and romantic he thought and brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly. "A pleasure Callie and call me Colton."
The heat of his breath on her skin did wonders for her heartbeat. She felt her skin beginning to burn a little just being near him. He really was good looking and that tux fit perfectly. His hand still held hers and she didn't, for whatever reason, feel like taking it away just yet. As though he read her mind and realized he still held it, his fingers slipped from hers.
"Colton then it is. Thank you for joining us tonight. I did some research on your company and I must say I'm impressed."
"Thank you. I believe it is only right to give back since I'm given so much," he told her looking into her green eyes. He thought she was beautiful, even more so in person. Her picture didn't do her justice.
"I wish more people would take a stance like that. I think, though that more people are coming around," she said with a smile as she took a sip of her champagne.
