“So, what do you think?” Evan asked Norah as he followed her down the hall way to her office.
“I think it’s a crazy idea. It’s insane…”
“Why don’t you just give it a few days? Mull it over, then tell me what you think.”
“My mind is made up, now. I won’t feel any differently three days from now than I do today.”
“What am I supposed to do?” he stood over her desk.
“I don’t know. Why are you asking me?” Norah started cleaning off her desk. “Why don’t you just stay with Kurt?”
“Kurt’s an old bachelor…”
“That should be perfect for you. You’re a young bachelor.”
“Kurt’s an old drunk, when he’s not at work…”
“All you’d have to do is sleep there.”
“Have you seen Kurt’s house? It looks worse than his office. Hell, it looks worse than my apartment does now.”
“Well, just stay in a hotel,” Norah muttered, turning to look through her file cabinet.
“I’m already shelling out enough money to all the contractors and the architect; I don’t want the extra expense of staying at a hotel.”
“So, what exactly would I get out of letting you stay with me while your place is being remodeled?”
“Whatever you want…” he leered at her.
Norah rolled her eyes, putting the last folder in a drawer.
“That’s not what I need right now.”
“I’d think you’d be horny by now; it’s been a month since the last time…”
“I’m seeing someone…” she stood up.
“Oh…”
“And I don’t think it would be a good idea to let you stay with me. You’d scare him away.”
“Are you being satisfied?” he raised an eyebrow.
Norah smirked. “It’s not really any of your business, but we haven’t gotten to that point, yet.”
“How long have you been dating? Was that where you were rushing off to that night after we finished up the Brinkman file?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. He must be special, if you’ve been seeing him all this time.”
“He is.”
“Is that why you’re in such a hurry to get out of here, now?”
“Yes.”
“Well, have a good time…”
“I will.”

Norah sat at the restaurant, dazzling in a red dress that exposed her freckled shoulders, her pale back, and her shapely legs. She felt a little self-conscious, for being so exposed, but she also felt sexy, smiling slightly as her nipples grazed the soft fabric of her dress. She’d left her glasses home, wearing her contacts for this special event, and she wore her hair down, hoping that Jake would be impressed with her new look.
He was. He’d been speechless when he picked her up, staring at her for a minute before escorting her to the car. Norah had wanted to jump for joy; she was amazed that things had been going so well between them, and she hoped that they would eventually become an item. To her, it seemed that Jake just might be the one.
She thought he was handsome, tall, and athletic; he was a runner, and he played racquetball several evenings a week. He had sparkling green eyes, and thick blonde hair; she’d been attracted to him the first time she saw him, sitting across from her at the small café where she often had lunch. She’d dropped her wallet, and he had run after her to give it to her. The attraction was instant and mutual. Meeting Jake had made Norah’s day; she found him charming, intelligent, and sexy, and this was just her initial opinion of him.
“You know,” Jake was saying, “I wish that I could stop time, so that I could spend an eternity showing you off in that sexy dress.”
Norah blushed, taking a sip of her drink.
“Do you want to go dancing?”
“Sure,” she smiled, excited at the chance to get close to him.
They had been dating for about a month, and Norah had reverted to her old ways. To Jake, she presented a demure, ladylike, but confident persona. She hadn’t made any moves yet, and she wanted to wait for the right time. She’d distanced herself from Evan, deciding to reserve herself for Jake, when the time came for them to become intimate. The only problem with her plan was that it left her horny as hell, and sometimes she had to grit her teeth when Evan got close enough for her to smell his cologne.
Jake took her dancing, impressing her again, with his skill on the dance floor. He seemed to have it all. She learned, later in his car on the way to her apartment, that he was an excellent kisser, as well. He had an intoxicating technique, slowly stroking her tongue with his, working her up to a state of excitement. After a few minutes of kissing and necking in Jake’s car, Norah was ready to take him up to her apartment and pounce on him.
“Jake, I…” she pulled herself away, drunk with arousal.
“Let’s wait,” he whispered into her ear, sending an electric shock down to her clit. “I want it to be special…”

“Norah? Are you even paying attention to me?” Evan snapped his fingers.
“What?” She shook herself out of her daydream. “Oh, sorry…”
