The architect adjusted his tie as he climbed the steps to the modern hillside house, his leather portfolio tucked under one arm. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the sleek glass facade, and he rang the doorbell, expecting a standard consultation about the renovation the couple had mentioned. He'd arranged the meeting with the wife over the phone, her voice bright and eager, though she hadn't said much beyond wanting "a fresh perspective" on their home. He assumed her husband would be there too--why wouldn't he be?
The door swung open, and his breath caught. The woman stood there in a silk white nighty, the fabric so sheer it clung to her curves like a second skin, leaving little to the imagination. Her dark hair spilled over her shoulders, and her lips curved into a knowing smile as she leaned against the frame. "Come in," she purred, stepping aside with a sway of her hips. "I've been waiting."
He hesitated, his professionalism warring with the sudden heat in his chest. "Uh, thanks," he managed, stepping into the airy living room, all clean lines and minimalist furniture. "I brought some initial sketches--where's your husband? I assumed he'd want to weigh in on the plans."
She waved a hand dismissively, shutting the door behind him. "Oh, he's abroad on business. Won't be back for days. It's just us." Her eyes lingered on him, bold and unapologetic, as she gestured to the couch. "Sit. Let's talk... design."
He sat stiffly, opening his portfolio on the glass coffee table, determined to keep this on track. "Right. So, you mentioned a renovation. What are we looking at--kitchen? Extension?" He flipped to a page of structural notes, his pen poised.
She slid onto the couch beside him, closer than necessary, the hem of her nighty riding up to reveal a smooth expanse of thigh. "Mmm, I was thinking something... expansive," she said, her voice low and suggestive. "You know, opening things up. Making space for... new experiences." Her fingers brushed his arm as she leaned over to peer at his sketches, her breast grazing his shoulder.
