As always I arrived at work at least an hour before anyone in my section. I'd made a special effort today, wearing a professional straight line suit to lend power and professionalism to the budget meeting later in the day. I thought of the decadent red lingerie I wore underneath and grinned at what none of the stodgy old men would ever know. I'd had my morning coffee and was primed for some serious prep work.
It just wasn't happening. The numbers on the screen blurred and merged together and I wondered what had happened to the focussed professional that thrived on figures and analysis. That staid hard worker that thrilled at the prospect of seeing the business improvements personally mitigated come to fruition.
I'd always been a passionate woman, even as young as eighteen sexual encounters with my ever reliable boyfriend left me aching for more. With no idea what it was that I needed and friends and family who professed boredom or disgust at all things overtly sexual, I was well practiced at tempering the aches and cravings and getting on with the daily drudges of life. It just wasn't enough anymore.
The one benefit of my quiet, lacklustre office in the corner of the executive area was a prime view of the stairs. I could see impending trouble ascending for invaluable seconds before it arrived. Generally in the form of disgruntled staff or hard suffering senior executives.
The trouble that ascended the stairs early this morning was what had put me on edge since the day I started in the company. As he came into view the restlessness that had been building inside me flew to my throat and immediately plummeted between my thighs and lingered there.
He turned the corner and looked directly at me. The shock of the heat in his eyes froze me to my chair. I'd never seen him stare so hotly, so intently, this was not the impersonal colleague that had kept me guessing for months.
In a glance I took in his tall solid frame, my eyes lingered for micro seconds on the expanse of chest that had my nipples aching to be touched, kissed, manhandled - anything.
