Author's Note: This is the fifth and final part. I've written a second version that was more of a straightforward booty-call, but thought it would be more interesting character development to take the story toward a slight romantic direction with some uncertainty at the end.
You can read it stand-alone but you might enjoy it more if you read the first four parts for context.
Part 5 - The Spark of Something
*Lindsey*
Of all the new sales reps I was hired with, I felt honored I was chosen to accompany the VP and two other senior sales reps to this trade convention. For me it was a watch and learn trip, part of my training. I was warned to pack smart, not wear the same thing twice, be seen and not heard, and maintain a professional demeanor; not just in the meetings but especially in the social events. Bleh, it was a recipe for abject boredom.
I know I'm young but not so naive to know I was only there as a showpiece; existing only to attract attention for my seniors to handle the sales. This was my first foray into business travel I expected to be glamorous, but honestly couldn't wait to get home. Being on my best behavior had become tiresome. I'm ready for the weekend. I wanted a drink, I wanted a cigarette, and I wanted to get laid. I've heard of women packing their vibrator when traveling and have read funny stories, but couldn't tell if it was reality or just memes. Either way, I could survive for a few weekdays and didn't want to risk it buzzing in my luggage.
My mind wandered throughout the days, dipping into fantasyland. Marc inevitably enters the scene and it becomes a challenge to keep my mind on my work. I imagined gentle cuddling, his hands gliding over my body and his mouth kissing from my neck all the way down over my boobs to my belly. Just as quickly, the mental scene changes to being tied spread-eagle to his bed while he ravages me. I need his perfect cock tapping on my lips, I need him pulling me into him with his hands on my hips. Sometimes you need intimacy, but right now I need my hair pulled.
I managed to get myself under control and back in the moment, smiling up at our visitors and my co-workers, shaking hands and painting on one last smile before my flight home.
I sent Marc a friendly text on the way to the airport hoping to get something started. God, his charm even comes through on text. It's hard to believe he doesn't have plans on a Friday night, but what other answer can he give to a sure thing throwing herself at him. I don't care, I love how he makes me feel like I'm the only person in his world, if only for a couple of hours.
I was fresh, looked good and I knew it. He might see me as an easy lay but I hope he's prepared for Hurricane Lindsey.
"Hey! How was your first business trip?" He asked, pulling me into his apartment with a kiss. He helped me out of my blazer and led me to the couch, where he kissed me again.
"I'm glad you called, it's good to see you again," he said as he looked into my eyes. Marc has a flirty, mischievous look, but the hint of emotion behind his gaze was something new. He kissed me again, and lingered as he slid his hands across my shoulders. "So how was it?"
"Not all it's cracked up to be, just glad to be back home."
Marc pulled my feet into his lap and removed my pumps, gently massaging my feet. God, just fuck me already; I came here to get laid but he's treating me like...a girlfriend. I'll play that part; as long as he closes the deal. I don't get why some guys like our feet so much but I'm happy to cater to him. Maybe he's just trying to make me comfortable, I can't tell but if he's getting something out of treating me like a princess, but I'm totally on board with it. It felt good after being in heels all day. Just feeling his hands anywhere on my body gets me going.
I drained the vodka soda he had ready for me and accepted the second one he brought to me, waiting on me literally hand and foot.
If someone asks about your day, it's only polite to ask about theirs. Marc has always been superficial and guarded about his life; I get it, I know I'm a booty call he hasn't wanted to open up to, but he's revealed more of his work and personal life in the past few interactions as if we're slowly becoming friends. I've accepted my initial infatuation for what it was and embraced my lust for a man who's been painfully clear he's not looking for a girlfriend. I'm at peace with being Marc's on-call friend with benefits.
