The office coffee machine simply would not brew. I was increasingly convinced that the sounds it was emitting were just its death rattles as it passed over to whatever afterlife might await it.
"Hey. How's it going?" I had been so engaged in my staring contest with the pitiable machine that I'd failed to notice my colleague sneaking up beside me.
"Fine, I guess." I was never sure what to answer. Most people didn't want to know, but if so, then why ask? So I settled for some kind of middle ground.
"Late-night coffee?"
"Yeah. Who needs sleep, right?" When she didn't answer I continued. "At least if this thing ever decides to..."
"I want you to lick me." She had leaned in towards me, her warm breath in my ear took me by surprise even before the words started sinking in.
"What did you say?"
"You heard me." Her voice had a hint of mischief to it as she pressed herself against me. Shoulders hard against mine, lips tickling my ear.
"I'm not sure..." I felt myself redden. There was no way I was going to say what I thought I'd heard. The social ramifications would be catastrophic if I was wrong.
"I. Want. You. To. Lick. Me." She ostentatiously enunciated every monosyllabic word.
"Lick you... where?" I was just feigning ignorance at this point, but it seemed like this must be some kind of setup. My heart was racing for all kinds of reasons.
"Oh, come on. You're a grown man, you figure it out." Her breath against my ear was getting hotter. So was my face. "Where do you think I want you to lick me?"
"Down there?"
"Down where?" She was giggling now.
"Between..." I swallowed, face hot and almost certainly bright red. "Between your... Legs?"
"Yes, dummy! I want you to lick my pussy!" She emphasized the word, a note of playful mockery in her voice. "I've seen you look at me. I know you're into me."
She was right. My eyes had a mind of their own (well, they had my mind, which was bad enough). Much to my continued embarrassment.
She licked inside my ear. "So." She whispered letting her mouth move down to my earlobe, gently biting it. I felt myself getting hard. "Just do it."
"What if someone sees us?"
"Nobody's here."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Now will you shut up and lick me?"
With the closeness and scent of her body, the wetness her tongue had left in my ear, the thought of tasting her, my heart was racing. Equal parts horny and nervous, I swallowed again and whispered a weak "OK."
She was standing with her back against the countertop where the coffee machine was still busy probably dying. I moved to stand in front of her, leaning my mouth towards hers. She immediately leant back against the counter and placed a hand on my head, gently pushing me down to my knees. "You can kiss me after. I want to taste my pussy on your tongue." Again she emphasized the word.
