David sighed, taking his hands away from the keyboard of his computer and rubbing his temples. He leaned back in his chair, throwing his head back and trying to empty his head for a moment to take a respite from the problems, equations, and numbers that were where they shouldn't be. Naturally, David had the job of putting the unruly numbers in their place. Also doing anything that had anything to do at all with computers and electronics. At first he'd enjoyed the attention his talent attracted, but now it was just annoying, and all the jobs were getting BORING. Break time, he thought vaguely. Just then, his phone rang. He cursed to himself, but on impulse, he answered, always figuring he could get to whatever it was later. Besides, it might be an emergency or something. As he took the receiver from the cradle to his ear, he glanced at the clock. Still two hours to go. He spoke to the phone: "This is David."
A husky, feminine voice answered: "Just listen: I'm going to pull your face to me and kiss you harder and deeper than you've ever been kissed before, pushing my tongue into your mouth. I'm going to unzip your pants and pull your gorgeous cock out into the air. I'll kneel in front of you and take you into my mouth and you moan as you feel my tongue on the tip of your cock. My hand jacks you as I suck the tip and--"
David knew perfectly well who it was, but he couldn't resist. He interrupted in a clipped, businesslike tone: "Who is this?"
The girl on the other end broke into a brief laughing spell. It seemed she'd been concentrating and he'd gotten her out of it. "This is your girlfriend, you silly ass! I'm gonna start over . . . Goddamnit, David, you broke my concentration and spoiled the surprise at the same time! I was trying to brighten your day and all you can do is fuck with my head!" She wasn't really mad, he could tell. Didn't even sound it, really.
"Jeez, Karen, I'm sorry." He smiled.
"Yeah, you are, you punk. Is work still as bad as you've been saying?"
David took a deep breath. She may have been trying to brighten his day, but she'd done that just by calling. He figured she knew it, too. "Yeah, it's still pretty ugly. I'm watching the clock."
"Poor baby. I miss you." Karen had only met him a couple of weeks ago, and they'd only had the opportunity to go out once or twice since then, because David's workload had doubled shortly after.
"I miss you, too," he answered.
"How's tonight looking?" she asked.
David reflected. Now that he remembered, it was a Friday, and his workload was typically egregious. He had resolved not to stay after five, though, since for most of the last week, he'd gotten home at around eight-thirty. "Not so good," he finally said. "I'll be pretty tired--but I think I can be persuaded to work up some enthusiasm."
Karen giggled. "Good. You know what we're going to do tonight?"
"Were you keeping it a surprise?"
"Well, not really. I was planning to do most of the stuff we didn't get to do last time."
David thought about this a moment. They'd met, had sex and gone out a couple times--but not actually gone to bed since their first meeting. He couldn't really think of anything off-hand that they hadn't done, apart from positions . . . "Oh . . ." he said, finally.
"That's it? 'Oh?'"
"Uh, well . . . I'm really looking forward to it?"
Karen sighed in good-natured exasperation. "Listen, you silly twit," she laughed. "Come to room two-twelve at the Red Leaf Inn on Twenty-seventh Street after you get off work. I'll be waiting for you--and I'll have a surprise."
She hung up.
David very nearly left work early. He knew he'd just sit around his apartment getting antsy, though. So he stayed at work and got antsy instead. He could hardly concentrate for the rest of the afternoon, and barely even managed to finish what he'd set out to--he was, however, thankfully able to muster the willpower to grit his teeth and finish his business. It seemed like twelve hours, but when five o'clock rolled around, David was most certainly ready to call it quits. He nodded good-byes to co-workers as he left the building, and headed straight for the hotel. He didn't even bother to go home and change (he'd just worn a polo shirt and slacks that day anyway).
When he found his way there, the parking lot was nearly empty and he found a space immediately. He climbed the stairs to the second floor--finding room 212 was an easy matter, since there were signs posted all over the place. It took him a minute or so to wander the hall, but he found his way there easily, and boldly knocked on the door as soon as he reached it.
He heard the lock click and the door swung open. It was pretty easy to tell that it was being pulled open by someone standing behind it. David walked into the room and the door swung shut behind him. Sure enough, standing behind the door was Karen--dressed in a black faux-leather halter-top and a matching skirt that barely managed to conceal her assets. Her shoulder-length raven hair was tied back into a ponytail.
She reached over to lock the deadbolt and smiled mischievously. "Glad you could make it," she intoned in the same sultry voice she'd used over the phone.
"Wouldn't have missed it," David replied.
Karen giggled by way of reply and, grinning, beckoned with her index finger. David didn't hesitate to comply and she wrapped him in her arms as he leaned down to kiss her. He first covered her mouth with his own, then moved down to her neck. She smelled of jasmine. She moaned softly. Before David knew it, he was being pushed back away from her. Confused, he asked "What? Did I do something wrong?"
Karen shook her head, still grinning. She nodded to her left, indicating further into the room. "Go sit on the couch over there," she said. Still a little confused, David walked past the king-sized bed and TV, plopping down in the middle of the sofa. It wasn't the most comfortable one he'd ever sat on, but it wasn't the least, either, by a long shot. He spread his hands out on the sofa back behind him. Karen approached from the corner, still wearing that mischievous grin. She stood in front of him, hands on her hips. "Sit on your hands," she said.
