Tiredness surrounded me, I put down my book and turned out the bedside lamp. I adjusted my pillows and closed my eyes. I felt my body relax as sleep came to me. I felt my mind begin to drift, that pre-sleep state where you feel like you are floating.
The bed was warm, my body was relaxed. My mind began wander, reviewing the events of the day as I drifted in a world between waking and slumber. I thought of my day, the client I had visited that afternoon.
Climbing the stairs to her office, smiling at the secretary in the outer office, knocking on her door. She called out.
"Come In."
I adjusted my tie and stepped through the door. She stepped out from behind her desk and held her hand out to shake mine. Our hands touched and a tingle of electricity passed between us. She was tall, her dark brown long hair glistened in the sun that shone through the window behind her. Her business suit was immaculate, and she was wearing a mans tie. She looked sophisticated and self-assured. Actually she looked damn sexy, but I swallowed that thought. She spoke to me, her voice angelic and alluring.
"Karen Robertson, Director of Marketing, pleased to meet you"
I began my presentation as she sat on the edge of her desk, tapping her foot and fiddling with her pen. I was having a hard time concentrating on the product I was selling, her face and her figure kept interrupting my train of thought.
She shifted position on her desk and crossed her ankles. Her long legs seem to go for ever and I stammered slightly.
"Get a grip, Marshall, concentrate!" I spoke to myself, but it didn't help me any. I was losing this sale, I could feel it slipping away like sand through my fingers. I tried a different tack. Shifting the balance of the presentation I asked her.
"What do you expect from our services?"
Her reply was beguiling, her smile broad and sexy.
"I expect you to be out of your suit and tie before I count three. 1-2-3" she counted as my jaw dropped.
She leaned back on her desk and unfastened her tie. My mind reeled as this goddess dropped her tie on the floor. She slipped her shoes off, one after the other. I dropped my briefcase to the floor and stared at her. She took off her glasses and placed them on her desk beside the keyboard. She slowly unbuttoned the light blue business shirt, exposing a fine deep cleavage and a flash of white brassiere. I pinched myself, but it really was happening. She was undressing right in front of me. She spoke in a soft yet commanding voice.
"Lock the office door please." I rose and turned to lock the door, unwilling to take my eyes off her for even a second. I heard her voice and turned to see her on the telephone.
"Aimee, hold all my calls for the next hour, please."
She stood up and crossed the floor to me, reaching for my tie. She undid it slowly and dropped it to the floor next to my fallen briefcase. My legs were paralysed, I couldn't move. The aroma of her perfume was drilling into my brain and I could feel my pulse thumping in my temples.
She looked into my eyes and began to unbutton my shirt, her own shirt was hanging open, her breasts were heaving and she sexily bit her lip and smiled. She brushed the shirt off my shoulders and slid it down my arms. She threw it on the floor, joining my tie in a discarded mess. I reached for her and she smiled again.
"No." she spoke this simple word that stopped me in my tracks. Her hands snaked down my chest, brushing across the mat of hair and lingering slightly as she tweaked my nipples. I sighed softly and she grinned a devilish smile.
