Sometimes love is right beside us -- and we don't see it before something happens that opens our eyes and we see the world in a different light.
These thoughts were the inspiration behind this story. I hope you'll enjoy it!
I'd also like to thank my editor, Todger65, for his excellent guidance and grammar checking.

Friday
"I have some good news for you, Abby," Dalen Anderson, the largest hunk in the office smiled as he walked toward her. In his wake followed the usual crowd of women desperately hoping to be his next bed partner.
Abby has seen it happen too many times in the past year after she had joined the company and he didn't help at all by being the biggest flirt that had ever worn a cock in a pair of pants.
She felt the familiar stirring in her loins just by watching his well-hung body move with a panther-like grace. Her pulse increased at the same time and she felt annoyance over the fact that he had this power over her. Still, she had vowed that he would never know about it.
Her ordinary looks had allowed her time to observe him. He flirted and treated the women around him as minor inconveniences that could be swayed by a smile and a few seconds of his masculine attention. He had it too easy, she had concluded, and decided to give him the opposite reaction.
It had puzzled him exceedingly. It still did, and they had kept up their bantering as if they both enjoyed it too much to quit. Most likely, he took her for a challenge that he couldn't resist. The man's ego had to be the size of his biceps, Abby thought hastily before stopping herself.
No drooling, she reminded herself. Absolutely no drooling. She couldn't afford to show any weakness or he would take advantage of it straight away.
"Oh, you mean the penis-enlarging ointment actually worked?" she asked ironically, as she gave his lower region a telltale look.
He laughed loudly while some of his harem gasped at her insolence. They looked as if they wanted to console their hero and strangle her at the same time.
"You noticed, didn't you?" he winked at her. "Now I'm larger than life."
"At least your ego is," she reminded him calmly.
"Do you want me to give you a demonstration?" he asked heatedly as he leaned closer to her.
She snapped her head away from him and backed into the front of her desk before she managed to stop her reaction.
"Sorry, I'm not that interested. But I'm sure we can find someone else that would be delighted to witness your immature inclinations."
"You think I'm immature, eh? I'm older than you if you haven't noticed."
"Only on the birth certificate. Your childishness is a chapter in itself."
"Maybe I should undress so you can see that I'm an adult?" he offered as he leaned closer still and bent his head slightly toward hers.
She gave his chest a small push and he retreated willingly.
"Only small boys believe that showing off their naked butt will frighten a woman," she teased him.
She turned her back to him and walked casually around her desk, sitting down and glaring up into his handsome face.
"Actually, I'm more inclined to give you a frontal view," he suggested heatedly.
"How thoughtful of you," she said icily. "I wonder what the prison sentence is for indecent exposure these days. Perhaps you can tell me? You seem to be on familiar terms with these things."
His only answer was to laugh even louder than before, leaning on her desk as he clasped his stomach. She caught herself counting his abs through his tight t-shirt and she felt a blush forming in her cheeks. This wouldn't do. She had to get rid of him. She glanced up and noticed their co-workers were following their discussion closely.
"I don't have time for this," she glared at him. "What was the good news you wanted to tell me?"
"Man, you really need to get laid, woman."
"You mean that's the good news? That you are free on the market? Again? Lucky me," she huffed. "I'm sorry to put a puncture in that swollen ego of yours, Dalen, but we really have quite different views on what is considered 'good' or 'bad' news. And no thanks, I am already getting laid."
"You are?"
His smile had completely vanished and he seemed shocked at her news.
"Of course, I am. And quite frequently, as well," she smiled as she sent a warm thought to the 8-inch dildo that had been her closest companion lately. "You're not the only cock in the town, you know," she teased him.
"So there are men that can tolerate your frostbite for long periods?" he glared back. "What is he? A Yeti?"
"In case you wondered, hair is actually a reflection of the testosterone levels in a man, and the last time I checked he had just the right amount of hair in all the right places," she smiled smugly.
He was speechless for a few seconds. Only staring at her while his face developed a frown.
"So you have plans for the weekend?" he asked more grumpily.
"Oh yes, big plans," she admitted.
She had plans for a quiet weekend with her dildo, a stack of erotic novels and her own vivid imagination. Nothing could clear her mind of this jerk faster than a little 'medicine' for her strung-up libido. She was already counting the hours until she could leave her workplace, the nosy colleagues and especially the hunky Casanova that wanted every female around to bow to his command.
"Well, you can forget those plans," he grinned at her. "We're working this weekend."
"What? What work? And who are 'we'?" she wondered.
Judging by his grin, she feared that she wouldn't like his answer.
"You and me, sweetie. On the boss's order. We have an important meeting on Monday and we'll need the entire weekend to prepare."
"No way! I'm not going anywhere with you, Dalen."
"Scared, are you?" he asked cheekily.
"Never. In case you haven't noticed, I simply don't like you."
"Hah, you're just playing hard to get. That's why," he stated as cocksure as ever.
"Not used to anyone preferring another man when you're around, is that it?" she glared at him. "Well, I would rather spend time with a bunch of rats than hanging out with you for an entire weekend!"
"You really don't know how to treat a man properly, 'Miss Frostbite'. Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from the weekend," Dalen teased.
"I doubt it," Abby glared at him. "I don't fancy spoiled brats."
She noticed he was still smiling at her as she left him and went to the boss to confirm her worst suspicions.

Dalen followed her angry walk as she headed straight for the boss's office. He knew exactly what Mr Carpenter would say to her, although it would probably be a tamer version compared to what he had told him. Damn the woman for being so stubborn about it. Her tongue was so razor-sharp he was sometimes worried she would cut him straight through.
Still, she intrigued him immensely. He couldn't seem to get enough of her company even though she had the ability to reduce him to clay that could be shaped the way she wanted to. He ran his fingers through his hair. How was he ever going to live through an entire weekend of her verbal spikes -- when all he could focus on was how her nipples tensed and became visible through her blouse during their discussions?
He swore never to tell her that in fear that she might stop wearing the thin blouses that she obviously preferred. He enjoyed seeing this small evidence of her response to him, to know that she felt something more for him behind all the words and sexual teasing. More often than he liked, she left him feeling more like a teenage boy with his first woman than the grown-up man he had become.
He had enjoyed their sexual bantering ever since she had started in the company. Still, he hadn't thought much about it until their boss, Mr Carpenter, had humorously suggested that it was time that they took their courting somewhere else and let the audience do their work.
The boss had even suggested that Dalen took an assistant for the upcoming meeting and that they worked out their differences while they prepared for the meeting.
Dalen had finally collected himself from the shock and argued that he didn't need an assistant and that there was nothing between them.
Mr Carpenter had laughed heartily at that and said that since he wasn't blind yet he could easily see the looks that they sent each other. He suggested they used their time wisely and settled their differences during the weekend. If not, he threatened to give them a two weeks' vacation on a deserted island.
Now, only the difficult part remained. To convince Miss-tight-nipples that they could share more than just words. Dalen was aching to find out.
***
The following evening Abby was still angry as she settled into her new room for the weekend. The boss had provided them with an apartment with two bedrooms. However she hadn't been able to get off the assignment. She had tried every reasonable argument she could think of but had thankfully stopped herself before she ventured into the unreasonable ones.
She didn't want to tell their boss that Dalen Anderson scared the hell out of her, and that she was afraid she would salivate all over him if she had to spend an entire day in his proximity. She didn't even want to think about what she would be tempted to do after two days of spying on his sexy backside.
She could not understand why she had to be Dalen's partner for this meeting. Normally he handled them alone. Besides, if there was a man that they hoped to dazzle on the other side of the table, they should have chosen someone from Dalen's pretty harem, not ordinary-looking Abby with the sharp tongue.
She had barely had time to pack her suitcase before she sat cramped in a plane seat next to the hottest hottie in the company. Her palms were sweaty and her nerves were on the brink of a nervous breakdown every time their arms touched.
All around them, she'd noticed the other women giving her companion inviting looks while they skimmed their eyes all over his body. It was annoying to say the least and she felt almost sorry for him.
