Faced with endless projects and numerous deadlines, not to mention working in different cities, Stacey was beginning to feel the distance between her and Ted. She thought about him constantly -- the way he touched her, running his tongue up and down her body until it found that special place between her legs... how he didn't stop until...
"Stacey, are you listening to me?" asked Dennis. Dennis was her boss, and he'd apparently sensed her distraction from the task at hand.
"Sorry Dennis, I just drifted for a moment. You were saying?" Stacey said, with a slight flush rising to her checks.
"I was saying that I'm sending you to work with some of our outside sales teams to monitor their results. Can you be ready to leave in the morning?" Dennis answered with impatience in his voice.
Sure, thanks for the short notice, she wanted to say. But she didn't. She had just gotten a promotion, and she didn't want to ruin it. Besides, this trip would be the chance she needed to prove herself to, not only Dennis, but to the VP of the company.
"Absolutely Dennis. Thanks for this opportunity," Stacey answered with a cheesy grin on her face.
"Great. Your flight leaves at 9am. My secretary will give you all of your necessary travel documents as well as your assignments. I'll be in touch," Dennis said as he walked out of the office.

Ted sat at the bar, enjoying his beer at the end of a long day. Ah, Happy Hour! Gotta love it, he thought. He'd spent his days wrapped up in sales meeting with clients, so at this point he was beyond worn out. He needed a break... but what he wanted was Stacey. He hadn't really had a chance to talk to her since that night, to tell her how he felt...
He looked down at his ringing cell phone. Great, it's Rob. He liked Rob, but Rob was still his Sales Manager, so he had to learn to separate work from their friendship.
"Hey Rob, what's going on?"
