Walking in to the office, another day had to begin. I was slightly exhausted, but had still taken the time to curl my long blonde locks, and had donned a smokey eye and mascara with red lipstick, channeling 50s Hollywood Glamour as I so often do.
Walking over to our bank of desks, I noticed it was only him sitting there. I checked the clock, surprised that our other team members weren't in. He catches my eye with his puppy brown gaze, "morning you, they've called in sick."
I set my bag on the desk adjacent to him and proceed to log on. We chat about our evenings and the day ahead of us, and muse over lunch plans. "We could go to the pub?" He suggests.
"Just the two of us? Wouldn't that be weird?" I pose back to him, glancing at the sparkling diamond on my ring finger.
"Haha, well it's up to you!" He says, winking. I instantly feel heat rising to my face as flashbacks of my recent dreams that featured him as the protagonist crashed into my mind. "why are you blushing?" He mocks, taking the opportunity to prod my arm, followed by a reassuring rub which lingered potentially longer than it needed to. I took a deep breath in case I was imagining it all.
"Well, I'm down for it if you are."
The clock moved even slower as I patiently waited for midday to come around and I'd discover if he was being serious. I could barely consider work as my mind rushed to elicit fantasy images of how our lunch could be spent, and had to keep reminding myself that a pint at the pub was far more likely than his hands brushing against my naked skin. Heat was swarming between my legs and I could feel myself dampening the more I lost control of my thoughts.
We made stilted conversation between phone calls and sending emails until midday finally rolled around. I stopped breathing as I wondered what the first step should be. He turned to me, an eager grin on his face. "I'll drive?" He suggested, grabbing his keys and standing up. I took the moment to run my eyes down his muscular body, dressed in an unbuttoned crisp shirt and tight grey trousers. I nodded, grabbing my purse and trailing behind him. I couldn't tell if he had noticed my gaze across his body, certain that if he had he would have seen the starving desire.
As we wandered down the communal steps with no one around, he slipped his arm around my waist "can't believe we've never got a drink before just the two of us". I was about to reply when he slowly moved his hand off my waist and brushed against my bottom. Words escaped me, and all I could manage was a gasp of need followed with a nod. He continued his confident walk, taking the reins of the conversation with his delicious grin and leading me out to the car park.
I knew which car was his, as I often would wait to get a cheeky glimpse of his strut into the office in the morning, and if we were early enough I'd remain in the car to self satisfy so I'd stand a chance of being able to concentrate on work. I walked determinedly over to his car, he unlocked the car but followed me round to the passenger side. His body pressed close to mine, he opened the door for me. I stood there, unable to move, certain I had felt a hardness pressed against my leg. I looked at him directly, and he smiled again. I knew my knickers would be completely soaked. "which pub do you fancy?"
