Despite my best efforts, thoughts of what I wanted to do to Michael kept clouding my mind. Maybe coming up with that fantasy about him hadn't been the best idea. Instead of clearing my head, now I was wishing even more that it would happen in reality.
But the pressure was on with our project and I forced myself to focus on the job at hand. The next four days of the convention were really intense. It wasn't easy because the others all knew each other and had worked together in this type of situation before, and I was still the new guy in the group.
Somehow the rest of the week went by without any disasters. On Saturday evening Michael came into our temporary headquarters and got everyone's attention.
"You've all done an amazing job and everything's come together. This was a hell of a rush job and I'm really proud of you all for pulling it off."
"Everything is running smoothly now and as you know we'll just be closing out tomorrow. So you're all done for the night and I'm taking everyone out for a beer right now so we can celebrate and get of this hotel for awhile."
I stretched in my seat, happy to be free. But I wasn't too excited about going out drinking. We'd been working practically non-stop the entire time we had been here and I could have done with getting some sleep instead. I filed out after everyone else and then turned away to head up to my room. A firm hand on my arm stopped me and I looked back to see it belonged to Michael.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, giving me that smile of his that always made me want to get down on my knees and take his cock in my mouth.
"I just want to get some sleep," I said, feeling slightly pathetic as I heard my words out loud.
"One drink with the team. It's mandatory. Then you can do whatever you want."
He hadn't let go of my arm since he'd first wrapped his hand around it. I looked into his eyes for a fraction of a second longer than I should have.
"Sure," I said, trying not to wish he would twist my arm around, shove me up against the wall and fuck me right there in the hallway.
He winked at me as if somehow he could tell what I was thinking. My face burned as I followed him outside.
We caught up to the others as they headed into a bar just up the street. The eight of us got a long table but Michael got cornered by a tech with a question so we ended up sitting pretty much as far away from each other as possible.
We had all been stuck in the hotel since we had arrived in Dallas and everyone was relieved to have the chance at some fun. Even I got into it. The beer flowed non-stop until Michael called for the bill around midnight.
We staggered back and split up as everyone made their way to their own rooms. When the elevator closed after the last of my coworkers had gotten out, I found myself alone with Michael.
"Alex, I need to talk to you about something."
