Although they were both single and he certainly didn't look his age, he was still aware that she was in her 20's, while he was in his 30's. Her legs hadn't gone unnoticed though; the more she wore leggings, the more they accentuated her thighs and ass so well. Flitting from one relationship to another, she wasn't seemingly looking for anything long term and they were friends first and foremost. Then the Xmas night out took place. During the meal, they'd spoken and she'd asked his advice about guys, but later in the pub, he knew he was starting to look at her in a different way. They were talking about another failed date for her when he chimed in.
"You know L, maybe you just need a guy for a bit of fun" he quipped.
"Totally. That would suit me perfectly. But where do you find someone you're comfortable with and don't feel pressured by?" she asked wistfully.
"I empathise. I was so bored last night, I went on this website. Um, might shock you though" he joked.
"No way. I'm tipsy already, nothing would shock me. What was it?" she challenged him.
"Well, actually, here's a cool pic from it" he said, flipping open his phone and selecting the image he'd found.
It showed a guy kneeling in front of a woman in an office but in her hand she held a leash which was fastened around his neck. Her legs were bare and one of them was over his shoulder.
"Now that looks like heaven" he admitted.
"Phew, you're not kidding. I want to be that girl!" L said drunkenly.
"L, hope you don't mind me saying this, but you're totally hot. I bet a thousand guys would be happy if you were that girl" he complimented her.
"Nah, really?" she asked.
"Yep, I'm definitely one of the thousand" he said bravely, with a smile.
"P! You're terrible!" she gushed but he could see she was beaming.
"I'm only telling the truth. Anytime you wanted. I'll bring the leash" he joked.
"Let me know when you have the leash then" she replied saucily.
They tried to make small talk but the conversation had clearly aroused both of them and after rejoining their colleagues, they had another drink, before he decided to put all his cards on the table.
"L, can I say something frank? Don't get annoyed, just hear me out" he said.
"Go for it" she told him, smiling.
"Well, a leash is all well and good, but perhaps I'd need some practice first. And erm, it's not that late, I have keys to the office. And I'd love to put a smile on your face" he blurted out.
L looked surprised, then embarrassed, then aroused, then unsure.
"Okay, I didn't expect that. Besides, it would be too risky" she said.
He was elated. Rather than simply say no thanks or even worse walk away embarrassed, she had said it would be too risky!
"It wouldn't. I have keys, the bosses are off home and it's close to Xmas so no-one will be going back there of a Friday evening. And I'll make you a promise. I guarantee you won't regret this. I'm quite talented" he assured her.
L looked around the room and seemed to reach a decision.
"What, you please me and I stand there? That's it, no onus on me to do anything?" she checked.
"None whatsover. Unless you want me to please you in any other ways. No, I just want to turn you on" he added.
"Okay, you leave first. Then I"ll be out in about 10 minutes" she told him, walking away before he could say anything more.
He approached a few of the group and said he had to head off and meet an old friend for Xmas drinks, then left. Going across the road, he waited at the bus stop until eventually, L came out. He crossed towards her and they walked to the office in silence. 5 minutes later, he decoded the alarm and once in, locked the door behind them.
"Um, your desk at the front, or my office?" he asked.
"Your office" she responded, walking past him to reach it.
They entered and he approached her, but she turned away when he went to kiss her.
"No kissing" she said and he nodded; it was her call.
