Amanda saw the icon blinking on her screen. She felt her face flush with excitement, knowing it was another message from Will.
She could barely contain herself whenever they spoke.
Maybe it was the "forbidden" nature of having a relationship with a co-worker. Maybe it was the bold, aggressive way in which he had come on to her... first flirting with her in the break room, then chatting with her online.
Amanda could barely comprehend what a whirlwind of lust and passion it had been - and in just a matter of weeks! Will had completely swept her off her feet. She clicked on the window, her heart pounding in her chest with anticipation.
"Time for lunch" was all it said, but was was left unspoken sent shivers down her spine.
Amanda began gathering her things, trying to appear calm and relaxed, all while she was practically bursting out of her skin, moving frantically.
She paused for a moment as she passed a small window near the exit, the reflection allowing her a moment to make sure everything was in place. Her naturally curly blonde hair cascaded down over her shoulders and framed her face, bright green eyes shining from behind thick lashes she batted with a "come hither" glance. Bright maroon lipstick accentuated her full lips.
She took a second to unfasten a button on her blouse, unafraid of who might see but eager to show Will a tantalizing glimpse at her ample cleavage. She smiled, knowing that her looks drove him wild, then the smile turned into a smirk of knowing confidence, thinking of the animal passion he exhibited when he was turned on.
She strode confidently out into the parking lot, towards where she knew he had parked and was awaiting her, the same place they had met nearly every day for the last two weeks.
With each step she got closer and closer to their tryst, and with each second that passed she could feel herself getting more and more aroused.
Her mind was racing. The walk to his car seemed like it took forever, and yet she could not recall any details of it, as if she were in a dream.
She could barely focus as she got in, heard the thump of the door shut, and felt the acceleration as he began driving. She didn't even know where they were going this time.
She didn't care.
She looked over at the seductive man in the driver's seat, as if seeing him again for the first time.
