The hand moves up a bit, caressing the silky skin of her thigh, the fingers playing with the edge of her panties.
She holds her breath expectantly.
And suddenly all feelings of revenge are gone, like snow in the sun. In its place comes a completely different feeling.
Pure lust.
- A few weeks earlier -
'Hey, Tony, you left your phone in the bathroom.'
'Oh, shit, thanks babe,' he mumbles as Tanya hands him the device. He leans over to give her a kiss on the cheek, but she pushes him away.
'Who's Alex?'
'Wha- who- uh, Alex, oh, just a friend of mine,' Tony doesn't look at her, very wisely, because her eyes are spitting fire, despite her neutral tone. 'From uh, from soccer.'
'Ah. Is he gay?'
'W-why?'
'Well, he just texted you that he can't wait to feel your huge member inside him again.'
Now she sees to her satisfaction all the blood drain from Tony's face, he's suddenly gone pale as a ghost.
'It- it's not-'
Yeah right, it's not what it looks like, how stupid does he think she is anyway?
'Save yourself the trouble, say hello to her and tell her from me where she can stick that "huge cock" of yours.' Tanya makes the familiar quotation marks gesture at these words, calling Tony's genitals "huge" is quite a stretch, he's not even average, not in any way, she's had enough experience with men over the years to know that. 'Oh, and give me back my key please, you can pick up your stuff later, you have my number.'
She ignores Tony's sputtering, she doesn't tolerate cheaters, and unfortunately this isn't the first time a relationship has ended this way, it's almost starting to resemble a kind of routine.
Monogamy turns out to be a particularly difficult concept to a lot of men. But maybe it's her fault, in the end she's the one that picks those losers...
***
Ah, Tony's here, she thinks with satisfaction, let the show begin.
She carefully chooses a table within sight of the counter, fortunately it's not too busy, there's still plenty of room. She waits until Roy has taken a seat, but instead of sitting opposite him, she takes the chair next to him and pushes it a little closer to her colleague.
A waitress approaches them, she recognizes Tanya, and her face immediately lights up, and then becomes concerned. 'I'm sorry to hear about-'
'No need,' Tanya interrupts, with a sidelong glance at Roy.
Then the waitress's eye falls on her companion, and an appreciative smile appears on her cheerful face. She winks at Tanya, 'I totally get it,' she whispers, and then in a normal conversational tone: 'What can I get you guys?'
They both order a cappuccino, which a little while later sits steaming in front of them.
Tanya keeps a close eye on the counter, and as soon as she sees Tony's gaze fixed on their table, she places her hand on Roy's thigh. He looks at it in surprise, and then at Tanya herself. But instead of pushing her hand away, which she is momentarily afraid of, he places his on top of it.
Roy leans toward her, and, pointing to the counter, whispers in her ear: 'Is that your ex?'
She nods, unable to move, his warm breath on her cheek, his proximity, the unexpectedly hard thigh muscles under her hand, the way he smells, it puts her body on high alert. At least the part of it that is subject to hormones.
'Is that why you wanted to have coffee here? To make your ex jealous?'
'Um, not quite.'
'Hm.' Roy takes her hand and lifts it. Shit, she thinks alarmed, she immediately regrets this ill-considered scheme to get even with Tony.
'More like revenge actually... Is- is that a problem?' she squeaks, she doesn't dare look him in the eye, afraid of his anger, his disgust, his disappointment.
'Depends.' Now she does look at him, she hadn't expected this answer.
'Huh?' A shiver runs through her body when Roy suddenly places her hand on her own thigh, with his on top again, and then carefully slides it under the hem of her skirt. What's happening?!
'How far do you plan to go with that revenge?' The hand slides a little further, fortunately invisible for prying eyes under the material of her skirt. It causes a pleasant tingling sensation, she feels not only her nipples hardening, but also wetness in her crotch.
Wow.
Tanya mumbles something unintelligible.
'What?'
'To the limit,' she whispers hoarsely. Roy makes a small sound of agreement, and the hand slides a little further.
Yep.
Pure lust. And something else: amazement.
Roy turns out to be anything but the timid office clerk she initially thought he was, and whom she has come to appreciate as an interested and humorous friend in the four months they have been colleagues. This version of him is decisive, apparently full of testosterone, and doesn't care about decorum, as evidenced by the fact that it is visible from several tables what they are doing. She likes it. She likes it very much, to be honest.
She glances at the counter, yep, Tony still has full sight of her and Roy, his head is red like a buoy and an angry frown has appeared on his forehead.
There you go, bullseye!
Roy slides his fingers into her panties, and over her labia, 'you're wet,' he declares with satisfaction, 'this turns you on, doesn't it?'
Tanya nods, 'enormously,' she whispers hoarsely and looks at him defiantly.
'Hm, now you're probably wondering if I dare to finger you to climax, here and now.'
Tanya catches her breath, he won't, will he? 'Um...'
'Are you loud?'
'Quite a bit,' she whispers, shocked and at the same time aroused at the idea that he's even considering bringing her to orgasm in the middle of a restaurant that is now quite full of people.
'Hmm, too bad. Or not too bad actually, but unfortunately not wise.'
'We can always go somewhere else?' she blurts out, then blushes violently. He must think her a desperate, needy slut. But Roy looks at her with a broad grin.
'I thought you'd never ask!'
Roy works in the accounting department at the same company where Tanya works in administration.
They had a connection from the start, after a chance meeting in the office canteen, and from that moment on Roy comes by every day for a chat, he always seems to find an excuse. It has quickly become the highlight of her day, especially now that she's done with Tony.
She still remembers the day Roy came by just as Tony was picking her up, she had introduced the men to each other and noted with amusement that they were quite opposites. Tony, rather short and stocky, all muscles as a result of his near addiction to the gym, dark brown straight hair, and a typical alpha Male, opposite Roy, tall and slim, lithe, but apparently not overly muscular, wearing glasses, full head of blond, wavy hair, unpretending and easy going.
Apparently something in Roy's behaviour towards her had triggered Tony, because afterwards he had mercilessly bashed her colleague: called him a boring pen pusher, dork, number cruncher, four-eyed geek, and the way he'd stared at her with sickening adoration - "like a damned lovesick teenager" were his exact words... Nonsense of course, but it had made her think.
What had also made her think were Tony's derogatory statements, she honestly didn't like that at all. Admittedly, it was typical Tony, but he's actually quite a bully, she realized at that moment. It made her look at him with different eyes. From that moment on, she also caught on to the fact that he flirts with other girls every chance he gets when he thinks she doesn't notice. She's gradually started to despise him for it. The text from "teammate" Alex had been the last straw.
Since the breakup, she's been running into that loser all the time, it's like he's doing it on purpose, seeking her out. And every time with that slut Alex on his arm, as if he wants to rub it in.
