I often wondered what would've happened if I had had a real chance at Tim.
In the beginning, I would sneak glances at him over the top of my reading glasses, as I shuffled my papers around on my desk, trying to look busy. Whenever his gaze unexpectedly met mine, his deep-set hazel eyes and thick, dark lashes caused my face to flush hot. Small beads of sweat would form on my upper lip, betraying my cool exterior. Our eyes would lock for a brief spell, searching, until I eventually lowered my eyes from his penetrating stare and knowing smile that played across his lips.
In my mind, I reckon we had played cat and mouse with each other since our second or third meeting. I cannot recall. I know for certain that I felt that first spark in the staff canteen.
He was behind me in the line, his tray beside mine, when he suddenly reached out to save my tall glass of juice. It was about to be toppled by an animated intern, excitedly relating the weekend's passings to his equally lively friends. I remember looking up into those eyes and congratulating him on his brilliant save. As he laughed it off and took the opportunity to formally introduce himself, it was then that I noticed how attractive he was. Up close, I could see the way the skin at the corners of his eyes wrinkled when he smiled and the softness of his dark, straight hair. He had invited me out for a drink then, with a group from the department who had made plans for that Friday night.
I graciously accepted.
I recall being undecided about what to wear out that night. I had made a move across country for this job and wanted to make the right impression- especially on Tim. Eventually, I settled on a low cut black number, since I figured I couldn't go wrong with that, and slipped on some silver heels to jazz it up a bit. I let my braids hang loose and set off for the Terrace.
The gathering at the Terrace was a bit stiff at first, but then loosened up considerably as the liquor flowed. Soon everyone was chatting up a storm and invariably, they paired off as the night wore on. Well, to be honest, I was not sure if they had arrived that way from the outset, or if it was the alcohol was talking.
I think it was then that I first really wanted Tim to want me too, especially since he had turned up stag and was unpaired like myself. We bantered through the evening, he and I and there were some bawdy jokes, I'll admit. I liked the rough side of him. I forgot that I had given up my smokes and as he talked, I wondered if he would pull my hair as he fucked me or rain sweet kisses on my face as his cum pulsed out of him into my pussy. He had a wicked sense of humour and the time slipped away. Feeling good, I excused myself to the ladies' room to slip off my wet panties and loosen another button on my dress. When I returned, I squeezed past him into my corner seat, brushing my ass brazenly close to his face. He offered me more Chablis. When his hand closed over mine as we held my glass, my heart raced a little, knowing that he felt it too.
When I saw Tim in office the following Monday, instead of his customary 'Morning, Annie!', he winked at me. He remarked on the drink we had Friday last and made a comment about doing it again sometime, with a grin that I have become all too familiar with. I nodded my agreement and left it at that.
The following couple of weeks brought no proposition, so I said nothing myself. I guess you could call me old fashioned, but I like it better when the man makes the first move. Maybe some folks might call that insecurity...and to be honest, for me it partly was. Even though there was obviously something between us, I was unsure of myself. I knew he wasn't married and I had never heard him speak of a girlfriend, although you never know. In any case, I waited it out. We smiled at each other over the next few weeks, went out for a few more drinks with the gang, and eventually moved our chitchat into double entendres, punctuated with smoldering stares. It was killing me.
Whenever Tim made office presentations, I found myself unable to miss them. As he talked, first my eyes, then my mind would inevitably stray. I found myself taking in his six-foot frame, large hands, large feet. When he sat for a spell, his legs wide apart, I searched his groin, trying to discern the outline of his cock through his loose pants. I wondered whether he was cut or uncut, if he dressed left or right, if he dribbled or squirted. He had a habit of leaning back in his chair, fingers laced behind his head when he fielded especially thought provoking questions. At times like those, I wished everyone would leave so that I could take his cock out and straddle it.
I decided to up the ante. I took to routinely going commando and I would purposely take the desk across from him so that I could fleetingly open my legs giving him a quick glimpse of shaved pussy in between. I would lean when we spoke about projects, purposely pressing my breasts into his arm, trying to reel him in. He seemed to like that, although he shifted uncomfortably a few times. I wasn't sure if it was because he felt that others might have caught on, or because he was trying to pin down an unruly cock. Either way, it stirred me, too. I liked the power. I wanted more. But more than anything else I wanted him to want me so badly that he would risk almost anything for a hot five minute fuck.
