Chapter 2 of Eden's night with her boss. This time, It's Aidan's POV. For all of you who posted such nice comments to Chapter 1, I thank you. Hope you enjoy this one. I await your feedback with bated breath...
***
Aidan's heart had been in cardiac arrest since late this evening when he'd finally decided to do the unimaginable. He'd presumed that it had been written all over his face as he walked to the counter and in a small voice, asked for some help.
"I'm buying underwear for my secretary... I've seen glimpses of her satiny bras and the tops of her stockings. I'm a pervert! I've been eyeing her up for months and now rather than do the decent thing and just ask her out, I'm going to buy her underwear and let her know that I don't just want to date her... I want to fuck her. I WANT TO FUCK MY SECRETARY!"
The assistants name was Therese and she was attractive and would tick all the boxes for Aidan ordinarily. Great figure, pretty face. But these last weeks, he'd been consumed with Eden Cook and until he knew one way or another, he couldn't entertain the notion of another woman.
'What size is she?' Therese asked helpfully. Aidan flushed. 'I don't know exactly.'
Therese pulled back the lapels of her suit jacket. There was a confidence there that unnerved him. She placed her hands on her hips and breathed in deeply.
Oh, you're good, Aidan thought inwardly. You're really, really good.
'Would she be the same size as me or would she be the same size as... perhaps Evanna here?' Therese clicked her fingers and a tall blonde sauntered over.
'Size check,' Therese informed her. Evanna, looking thoroughly bored, pulled back the lapels of her jacket.
Aidan surmised this wasn't usually how men decided on sizes in lingerie shops but was too flustered to comment. In addition, the lingerie shop was packed with frantic men, buying underwear for mistresses and wives, and they were not receiving the same treatment as he was. Two pairs of breasts jutted at him inside white cotton. Therese's nipples were clearly visible. This was any man's fantasy yet Aidan felt like he had fallen into a pool full of sharks. He ran a finger around the neck of his collar.
'I suppose about Evanna's size, yes,' he said sheepishly. Therese smiled knowingly, giving a cursory glance at Aidan's crotch.
He groaned inwardly.
The purchase was wrapped up and he paid for it with his credit card. He cursed himself for not having cash as it would have expedited the whole transaction.
'I suppose asking you for your number would be out of the question?' Therese asked sweetly as she placed the gift in a black shopping bag.
Aidan tried to be polite.
'Well, I am buying underwear for another woman...' he said.
'Well, it depends on if it's for your wife or your girlfriend...' Therese said as Aidan took the bag from her hand.
Aidan floundered. 'Neither actually,' he said haltingly. Therese's teeth appeared again through her ruby lips. 'Oh. So you're someone's secret Santa then?'
Aidan nodded but his face was tight. He wanted to get out of here. He wanted to get as far away from this mantrap as was humanly possible.
'I'd like to think so. I'm in a rush, I gotta go. Look, thank you.'
The heat in the department store had enveloped him and he was almost faint by the time he got to the front door and gasped in the cold night air. He was suddenly aware of the weight in his left hand. Jesus. Now he had to deliver it.

He drove his car out of the car park and turned down the street to towards the front of the building. There she was, wrapped in a heavy black wool coat that seemed to dwarf her. He swallowed. Was he actually getting this lucky? Was this goddess actually agreeing to go back to his apartment? Had what happened earlier actually taken place or was he dreaming? It was the single most erotic moment of his life, bent over his desk while she tongued him, his arse bared to the world and her hair tickling his behind. All he knew was he was hard as hell and aching to shag her. He hadn't felt this aroused in years. Not since he was a teenager! What was it about her? Was it her innocence and yet her knowing exactly how to make him come? Was it the fact that she had turned out to be as kinky as he dreamed she would be? He didn't know but he planned on finding out...
He pulled up and she slid into the passenger seat.
'Are you ok?' he asked nervously. He was praying she hadn't changed her mind. After all, he'd barely gotten to touch her. Would she suddenly be seized by embarrassment and back out?
'I'm fine. I had to tell a few lies in order to get away but... it's worth it,' she said, not looking at him directly. He moved out into the late night traffic. No words were spoken and Aidan was glad of it. It was as though speaking would somehow snap the sensual web they were ensconced in. He lived five minutes away but it was the longest five minutes of his life. It seemed every single traffic light was against him and every taxi driver in the city had made a pact to cut him off as he changed lanes. Finally, his lights swung up on the wall of his parking space in his apartment block and silently they got out. The lift to his floor was empty when the door slid back and they stepped in. In any other situation, he would've felt awkward but all he could think of was the raging erection that his coat was hiding. She got out of the lift first, waiting for him to walk before her down the corridor to his apartment. His key slid into the lock with a click and he opened the door. Slowly, Eden walked into his apartment.
