Pen Meets Ink (pt.2)
By: Kieran King
After their interrupted office tryst, the redheaded lothario decided to throttle back his rapport with the smouldering Aria while at work, which proved more difficult than previously thought. He wasn't used to keeping his dialogue with her so curt, so professional when they crossed paths during the rare intervals either left their respective soul-crushing employment pit. But the quelled hunger in her eyes that lingered just beneath the surface gave him a satisfaction he couldn't put into words, even if he was foolish enough to tell anyone their "interoffice meeting" in secret. His next door corporate cellmate Bob probed Malcolm all day, every day trying to get the slightest hint of what went down that night, but to the redhead's credit he had never been so taciturn in his entire life. No way, I'm fucking THAT up, he thought with a secret smirk as Bob, now frustrated, decided to plug his wireless earphones in and get back to whatever mindless task the higher ups delegated to the soon-to-be retiree. Malcolm sat in his seat, fidgeting to get comfortable yet couldn't find a comfortable position with a map & compass.
He knew it had nothing to do with the chair and everything to do with that woman, that sultry woman who occupied his waking thoughts. Malcolm stared at his blank screen for another twenty minutes before his mind gave up trying to be productive. He leaned back in his chair, arms folded behind his head while he propped his feet onto the desk, ankle crossed over ankle. As if by thought, she seemed to conjure herself while he lounged at his desk,
"If only the higher ups could see you now..." She said, making him nearly fall out of his chair trying to straighten up in it, his cheeks reddened with embarrassment, "Just the picture of productivity, you are."
When he realized it was only her, he smiled despite the situation she caught him in (she is technically still the HR of this company and kinda my boss!), he swiveled his chair around to face her. Something he had noticed since their "after-hours encounter", Aria's clothing shifted from business professional to more clingy attire that was usually just covered by an overly large knit sweater. Today, the pixie-sized temptress went with a simplistic, concealed look: from neck to knees she wore a stylish camel-colored trench coat, her legs were covered in a pair of dark pantyhoes and on her feet were an expensive pair of black stiletto pumps with red bottoms. His eyes roved up and down her while she jokingly posed in front of him, as if in front of a camera.
"That's some getup. Big plans tonight?" Malcolm asked not because he was interested but to make sure he didn't have competition.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" She gave him one more twirl, his eyes naturally stole a glance at the swell of her bubble butt that refused to be hidden under the khaki coat wrapped precariously around her contours..
He made sure she did not see this, however, nor did he allow her to see his face flash with a momentary shade of envy at her potential suitor.
"I might have somewhere to be..." she kept her answers aggravatingly ambiguous as she completed her spin, "does that make you jealous?"
It did, but he kept that to himself, choosing to lie instead,
"Not at all. You look fantastic. Whoever they are, they're lucky as hell, that's for sure." He admitted, not able to take his eyes off her.
"Whew, well that's a relief considering it's YOU who's taking me out." She casually revealed, slimming her hands down her side, smoothing the slinky dress that wrinkled at her wide hips.
Malcolm, caught off-guard, could only sit there, agape. She chuckled, peeking at top of his cubicle to make sure his cubicle neighbor wasn't doing eavesdropping as he often did, but found him with headphones on, engrossed in his work. She took hold of the chair's arms to spin him around to face her, then with one more cautious look around she straddled him.
"Ar, we're gonna get caught!" He warned with hushed excitement but did not try to stop her.
The moment she settled down into his lap, the solid press of his virility against his olive dress slacks became apparent to her. She bit her lip, rubbing herself against it while she planted her hands on his shoulders to steady herself. A soft moan escaped him, it was caught by her clapping one of her cherry blossom scented hands over his mouth while a devious smile lined her adorable visage.
"Shh...or we definitely will." She whispered before planting her pillowy lips on his, the taste of her cotton candy lip gloss dotting his tongue.
She moaned into his mouth as his hand pressed against the small of her back, urging her to grind against him with more vigour. Her breath became ragged, her movements became more aggressive as she rocked atop him while dragging her nails down the front of his shirt. Then as soon as she began, she quickly ceased her lusty dance with a clearing of her throat and a quick dismount; her hands were already at work to adjust her wrinkled coat back into place while he sat discombobulated still in the thralls of their risky fun. The front of his pants barely contained the stout spear threatening to burst out; Malcolm took hold of it outside his pants to manipulate it to look less protrusive, only to find moist little dabs of viscous excitement darkening the front of his pants amidst a slighter general dampness he was sure wasn't from his or her sweat. Fuck, I bet she's as wet as I am hard--he surmised in silence, knowing this line of thinking would not help the uncontrollable swelling of his girthy organ.
She seemed to rearrange herself to a respectable degree before saying,
"Our little game will continue after dinner, make sure you dress the part, Mal." she took to fixing her hair before peeking out the cube-shaped jail's entrance to find that only the discordant sounds of phone calls occupied the halls. After one last look back at him, she slipped out his workstation while Malcolm followed her petite form until she was out of eyeshot.
He began swiping at his pants, meandering towards his desk where some leftover paper napkins from lunch sat crumpled up on his desk; he grabbed a handful to start scrubbing his pants with discreet haste, keeping his eye on the entrance of his cell for any more unexpected visitors. The threat, however, would come from behind him, in the form of his neighbor, Bob.
"Heyah Mal...uhhh, whatcha doing over there?" The soon-to-be retiree asked, making Malcolm freeze on the spot.
Without needing to see him, he knew from Bob's angle that he looked suspicious all hunched over himself while one arm worked furiously back-and-forth. He chuckled, turning to look over his shoulder with a forced smile,
"Ha, it's not what it looks like. I promise, Bob. Just spilled a little scalding coffee on my lap." Malcolm lied, further selling it with a contorted face to look as if he were fighting imaginary pain, his hands doubled covering his partially swollen cock as he fully turned around to make it look authentic.
"Jesus, kid! You need me to help you get to the bathroom? Pretty sure they got a first aid kit in there." Bob suggested but Malcolm vehemently shook his head in refusal.
"No, no. I can handle it, this is something I ought to take care of on my own, dontcha think Bob?" The redhead co-worker reasoned with the AARP recipient.
Bob considered this and agreed with a silent nod.
"Vaya con dios, kid."
Malcolm slipped out, trying to appear casual with a hefty bulge in the front of his pants, using careful obstacles to keep it out of any onlookers' eyeline.
One quick trip home & a short shower later...
Malcolm emerged from an hourly parking lot, having paid far too much to house his so-so Toyota sedan for an hour. He huffed as he turned the corner to Walnut Street, quickly finding a swanky little restaurant called "The Carver & Bard" on the opposing corner of the block. Fall began to succumb to Winter's arctic grip, as once crisp evenings gilded in golden light gave way to short dreary grey afternoons that were quickly swallowed up by unforgiving nights. The bluster of the city's whipping winds fought against Malcolm's black weathered rawhide leather jacket with all its icy might, digging its opportunistic claws into the hardy material of his grey corduroys. He cursed himself for thinking more about fashion than function when he chose his navy blue boat shoes sans any socks. It'll all be worth it. I know she'll make it worth it, he told himself as he crossed the street and jogged towards the front door, opening it just as another couple was walking out. He nodded mutely at them as they smiled and thanked him, slipping into the thankfully warm vestibule of the restaurant. With a flick of his thumb, the top button of his coat came undone, letting his coat lapel fold over to allow some airflow. At the host's station he stopped, taking his right hand out of his pocket and placing it on the edge, saying,
"Uh de Oro, party of two?" He knew she made the reservation, but wasn't sure under what she made it.
The hostess, a bright-eyed coffee haired woman in a buttoned up black dress shirt and matching slacks stood at the ready with a beaming smile that seemed almost painted on at this point,
"Let's see...hmm," She began tapping away on the touch screen monitor, pausing to scroll through the list before hedging a bit more before telling him, "doesn't look like there's a reservation here under that name."
"Maybe try Ulliac?" He honestly was guessing now.
She looked then popped her head up with her best affirming "customer service" smile,
"There it is! Ulliac, table for two at 9 o'clock sharp. Right this way sir, we made sure to save you a nice table by the window just as your wife requested." The hostess led him to the table.
(My wife? Did they assume we're married or did she...did she tell them we were?)
