Lexa dismissed her class at the University early on Friday afternoon and her students quickly filed from the room, anxious for the impending weekend and their own adventures to come. She collected her things and headed out to her car, bound for home at last. Ever since Will had awakened her this morning with his hand on her breast, she'd been eager for the day's promising end, and the thought of him arriving only minutes after she got home, as he usually did on Fridays, excited her even as she thought about it. However, she walked into their apartment only to find a note from him telling her he'd be in late tonight - he wanted to finish the plumbing at the site before he left for the day.
The front door of their apartment opened into the living room, and to the right of that door there laid a hallway. At the rear of the living room there was a sliding glass door, to the right of which the room opened up to form a small breakfast nook, and beyond that there was a quaint little kitchen where they would sometimes make meals together. The living room, sparsely decorated, contained a futon bearing a fluffy black mattress for a couch sitting along the left-hand wall, a hand-carved coffee table placed in front of it, and matching end tables on either side. Beyond the last table there was a bookcase, full of an array of items, from various texts to little knickknacks and picture frames. The far wall adjoined a simple oak writer's desk complete with a classic oak straight-backed chair. The desk was usually bare, save for a cup of pens and pencils.
Later that evening, a warm summer breeze drifted through the tiny apartment from the open windows. Lexa sat at the desk, reading through term papers she had brought home from the University. She was off in her own little world now, concentrating hard on grading the papers, one leg curled underneath her, twirling a lock of long auburn hair between her fingers as she read.
The front door opened. Had she heard it, it would have signaled to her the return of her husband from the job site. Placing his tool belt just inside the door, Will walked over to the desk, smiling gently at her. The look on her face was a familiar one, and he knew instantly that she was oblivious to his presence. Stepping up behind her, he leaned down, sliding his hands down her sides and softly placing his gentle kisses on her neck. Lexa jumped at first, shaken out of her reverie, but then tilted her head to give him better access to the soft skin of her neck. Will ran his hands slowly over her sides and around to her stomach, caressing everywhere. She leaned to the left, turning her head to meet his mouth. He pressed his lips tenderly to hers, his tongue gliding over the seam of her lips, coaxing them apart. As her lips drifted apart, he slipped his tongue into her open mouth, teasing her tongue with his. He withdrew, slowly. "Hello there, darlinโ," he whispered against her lips. She reached up and wrapped her palm around the back of his neck, pulling him down to her and pressing one last kiss to his lips before she allowed him to stand. She smiled up into his deep blue eyes. Willโs eyes were her favorite of his features.
"Well, hello," she said. From her seat in the desk chair, she gazed up at him, taking in his broad-shouldered, 6 foot frame appreciatively. He looked so male in his worn jeans, black t-shirt, and work boots. "And how're you tonight?"
โTired. Hot.โ
She grins. โWhy, yes. Yes, you areโฆโ she teased with a sparkle in her eyes.
โAre you flirting with me?โ he challenged playfully.
โWhat do you think?โ she teased, a mischievous light in her eyes.
โI think youโre playing with fire.โ theyโd both known from the second he touched her how this night would transpire.
โFire, huh? Sounds hot.โ She rose to her feet and he watched her walk over to him, clad in black pants that fit her like a second skin at the waist and hips, then flared out from the knee down, along with a pale blue button-down shirt with the top two buttons undone, giving him just a glimpse of her lush cleavage. Her feet are bare, revealing painted red toenails. He had passed her discarded blazer laying on the couch on his way over to the desk. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck, her willowy figure aligning to his perfectly.
