Bill adjusted his tie as he came into the kitchen. He inhaled deeply, smelling the freshly brewed coffee and the subtle fragrance wafting off his wife. As he took the steaming mug from her, he looked her up and down and sighed. "I'm the luckiest man in the world. A wife that makes the best coffee, can cook, always looks good and seems to always know what I want."
Linda shook her head, "Give me a break. You say every cup of coffee is the best, you love anything as long as you don't have to prepare it and," she ran her hand across the front of his dress pants and licked her lips, "what you want is not that tough to figure out." She turned and picked up her toast. "Though, I didn't think you liked how I dress for work."
Bill looked at his wife. Grey linen skirt, not too long, not too short, but snugly showing off her third best asset, her ass. As she turned to face him, he looked at the matching coat over a white silk blouse revealing her deep cleavage between those gravity-defying DDs, her second best asset. His eyes strayed down to her hips revealing the lack of panty lines knowing she wasn't covering up her best asset, absolutely the tightest pussy he'd ever driven his cock into. Not fully shaved as she was proud of her super-soft golden fur. She loved the fact that she was a natural blonde and he thought back to the first time he saw that beautiful patch...tasted her. He looked back at her chest and knew she wasn't wearing a bra since she had sales calls today and she had explained that her unfettered breasts bouncing as she gave her presentations limited the objections. Also, as she leaned over to point to items addressing their few questions, they accepted whatever she said. He also saw evidence of her unfettered breasts as he saw the quarter inch bumps of her nipples under the thin silk and linen coat. He wondered how much they'd be poking out as she felt excitement. For confirmation that it was a sales day, he looked at her left hand holding the toast and saw she'd taken off her wedding ring. He looked at her grinning at him as he studied her, "I can understand no bra, but I'd feel better if you wore the ring. I mean, I was fine with you keeping your maiden name, but...I don't know. It just feels weird.
"Sweetie. You know I love you and there will never be anyone else. I need to sell the entire package. I've been the top salesperson at Nuxaware for the last few years and you know how cutthroat this business is. I need to get the clients sucked in. I need them to feel like they are getting the best Dev-Ops solution there is along with a strong relationship with the company." She came over and gently stoked his cheek, "It's window dressing. That's all it is. We could sell our products in manila envelopes, but we put tropical background pictures on the packaging to attract attention."
"Maybe you should just wear a bikini then, you know, continue the theme." He stopped, seeing her look. "Sorry, I know. As long as you leave your jacket on then you are obviously very professionally dressed." He sipped his coffee, so who do you have today?"
Linda reached for her leather-bound folder, "Let's see, we have Salient over on the east side. Then Arbitech and last, closer to home, LMT. I don't know them, but apparently they are opening up a new data center over on 35th"
"LMT? That's us. I mean, that's a new spin off and I'm the lead engineer. I'd love to have your software on our systems. Who are you meeting with?" Bill asked.
"Let's see, Cal Ripkin and Eric Walters." She looked up at her husband, eyebrows raised.
"Yes, Cal is actually Carl, but he likes to be called Cal, you know, for obvious reasons." He saw the blank look on his wife's face, "Um, a famous baseball player. Never mind. Both are good guys. They pretty much do all the procurement, so you don't have to worry about them 'Running it up the chain.'" He hesitated, "There's just one thing, um, they are both single and they've been pretty vocal about how lucky they've been with a few of the Customer Reps they've had call on them. I mean, perhaps it would be good to wear your wedding ring, you know since they seem like they...you know..."
Linda laughed, "Seriously? Don't you think I have a say in what happens? They can try all they want. You know there's only you. Relax, I enjoy the games you men play to get between my legs." She leaned over and kissed her husband, "Anyhow, for some men a wedding ring is like a red cape to a bull." She put her plate in the dishwasher. She looked over at her husband, "Actually, this might be a problem. If this is your project, there's a conflict of interest if you're involved. I'd love the commission, you won't be involved in the decision, will you?"
"Crap, I'm sure they'll consult me. But, actually I don't make these types of decisions so I'm sure it's fine. And they'll probably just forward the specs over to me. Let's play it by ear."
"Ok. I'd hate to give that asshole Bryan this account. I guess still having my maiden name should avert any questions." She quickly pecked Bill on the lips, "Look, I gotta go, I don't want to be late for my 9 AM." She turned and headed for the garage, "Love you." She said as she exited.
"I love you too..." Bill said to the closing door.

Bill clicked 'Send' and got up to head into the datacenter. This was a big day. It's finally all coming together. UPS fully up and tested. All the racks in place, waterfalls, fiber...all of it. Fully 10 Gb networked. He looked around feeling pride in the latest in technology. To his right, through the door were the pallets for the latest hardware, all fully converged network, storage...
He grabbed his phone as it went off, "This is Bill...yes, sure I can drive over. What's up?...Sure...yes I've heard of that application. I'll be right over." He shook his head. How could he forget Linda was meeting with Cal and Eric? He looked longingly over where the new hardware was stored, wishing he could open them up and admire...
