One of my favorite little maxims is "If you play, you pay." Of course saying this doesn't automatically ensure that every decision I make is well-thought out and carefully examined for all possible dangerous repercussions. Actually, what it does mean is that I can tell you how to live your life best, but please ignore the mess I've made with my own.
When I first propositioned David, I'll admit, it was a little spur-of-the-moment. Frankly, I had been so keyed up and outrageously horny (ah, Springtime) that the words were tumbling out of my mouth before I really had considered how a physical relationship would affect our professional one.
Not that I'm regretting the sex (oh sweet mother of pearl.. the sex...) mind you, but all I'm saying is sometimes the greater the pleasure, the greater the pain.
Our Spring breezed into Summer, and before I knew it, Autumn had appeared on my calendar. The year was flying by. The busier I became, the faster my days turned into nights. Long, frustrating nights, I should add.
It had been about four months since David and I took our morning hike that lovely Spring day. We had such a fun morning, learning each others bodies, what set each other off… But, the initial spark had blazed, then dulled, faster than I could have imagined. Perhaps we had spent most of our energy on the anticipation.
Not that we no longer flirted when we had the chance, but the intensity of the moment sure seemed to have waned. It was disappointing—for me at least. I could only guess what went through David's head these days. He always seemed so damn preoccupied. One day I decided to see if he was still interested in having "the occasional fling".
"Good morning, Mr. Thomas," I said cheerily, leaning into his office. I held a box of grocery store goodies in my hand. I gave him a naughty smile, raising my eyebrows. "You want one of my muffins? One left."
He looked up at me and grinned. "Yes!"
I laughed and handed him the box. He pointed his thumb at a chair. "Have a seat."
"What's up?" I asked as I sat.
"How are you?"
"I'm well," I paused. I noticed the funny look on his face. "What?"
"I've been thinking about you." He stretched, his arms reaching high above his head while he arched back. I feasted my eyes on his large frame, his broad shoulders, his expansive chest with just the right amount of hair and these large nipples completely made for tonguing… Well, ahem, so the hair and nips were hidden behind his shirt, but hey, I have a vivid imagination and a good memory. Hmm. I noticed that he also put on about ten pounds. When he relaxed again, his large left paw landed on his crotch and he adjusted his pants. I shook my head and rolled my eyes.
"And your point is?"
"My point, Ms. Anderson, is that I want to see you again."
"Oh." Ok, now, I'll admit, as much as I HATE playing the role of a stereotype, I could not stop the next phrase from passing through my lips. "So why haven't you called?"
"It's been one thing after another. You know I had the McAndrew project to deal with, then I had to address the Sauder-Weider issue…" Now David rolled his eyes. "And of course there's Lisa's schedule."
Lisa. Lisa Thomas. Oh, did I mention that David is married? Must have slipped my mind…
I ignored the reference to his wife. "Listen, David, we didn't make any promises to one another. If you don't want to continue this—" I waved my hand, searching for the right words.
"I do! I think about you whenever I get the chance." He leaned forward, sliding his desk chair towards me. "You think I don't want to be with you?" David grabbed my hand and pressed it into the bulge in his pants. His dick was hard. "I think it's obvious that I really want 'this' to continue."
My fingers stroked up and down the rigid length through the fabric. "I get sick of seeking you out, David. And, this isn't the first time you've said how badly you've wanted to get-together, then something always comes up, and it isn't usually this." I squeezed his cock once before releasing it.
"I know, I know."
"You know the 3 rules, and number two is respect for one another. That's all I'm asking." I sat back in my chair.
"David?" Michael Barton stood at the door, peering in. "Do you have the papers on the Alpine seminar series?"
"Ah, yeah, hang on." David slid his chair away from mine and started to rummage through the mess on his desk. He looked guilty. I didn't.
I decided to take my leave then. I stood and slipped out past Michael, giving him a quick smile. He just nodded and shot me a knowing look. I had no doubt that Michael suspected something naughty was going on, but I also knew that he wasn't the type to speculate or gossip.
About 3 hours later my cell rang. I glanced at the caller ID. It was the office, and I knew it was David. I let it ring four times before I answered.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Ms. Anderson," David's deep voice trickled into my ear. Even though I was annoyed with him, my body disobeyed and a little jolt of want ran though me.
"Yes? What can I do for you?" I really wanted to blow him off, but my libido tends to rule my better judgment.
"Why did you leave my office so abruptly?" he asked.
"I didn't want another awkward moment with Michael."
"Where are you now?"
"In my car."
"Coming back?"
"Nope."
And then we enjoyed a moment of silence.
He broke it first. "What are you doing on Wednesday, next week, early evening?"
"I guess I have no real plans." I flicked on my turn signal and pulled into the lot where I parked my car.
"Can you stop into my office on Tuesday?"
I should have said "no" and been done with the whole situation, but I found myself agreeing before I ended the call.
*****
Tuesday.
He wasn't in his office when I arrived, so I sat and waited. I had been careful choosing my outfit that day. The fitted light blue sweater hugged my chest, drawing immediate attention to my perky girls, while the slim ankle-length charcoal-colored skirt played over my soft hips and behind. A slit in the skirt ran to mid-thigh. I added a pair of knee-high black boots to compliment the ensemble. All the right curves were accentuated. My long chestnut-colored hair was pulled up and away from my face. I left a few small locks loose; I wasn't going for a severe look. Actually, I felt pretty damn good about myself. A quick glance in the bathroom mirror down the hall today revealed two confident sparkling blue eyes.
I crossed my legs and waited. Two minutes had barely passed when David appeared. His eyes swept up my body and a little groan slipped from his throat. My lips curled into a tiny smile. Hey, I like to be appreciated for my looks just as much as I like my head to be respected.
"Mmph…" David winced in apparently some sort of sexual longing. He reached for my hands and pulled me to my feet. His eyes stayed glued to my rack. One hand quickly glided across the front of my sweater before he released me. The damn office door was open as usual.
"Good morning, Mr. Thomas. How are you today?" I purred softly. Funny, I could always forgive him for being so insensitive towards me when he got that look of lust on his face. It tended to inflate my ego.
"Unh…" he sucked in a deep breath through clenched teeth, adjusted the swelling in his pants, and sat down. He took my hands again and pulled me to stand between his spread legs. He gave me a look that screamed exasperation.
"Don't be mad."
I frowned. This was not a good way to begin any conversation. I steadied myself. "What?"
"I have to finish preparing the Alpine seminar series project—by Thursday morning. There's no way I can see you on Wednesday."
I shook my hands free from his and stepped back. Well, didn't it figure? I reached for my leather coat and purse, saying nothing.
"Hey," David stood and stepped towards me, wrapping his fingers around my left arm. "I have no choice." His big blue eyes searched mine for… forgiveness? Hardly, I thought bitterly.
"The Alpine project should have been completed a week and a half ago," I answered. I was right. There was no reason he shouldn't have finished it. I shrugged off his grasp and backed away.
"I'll make it up to you."
"Yeah."
"I had really wanted to see you tomorrow too. You're not the only frustrated one here."
