Jerome paced as he contemplated the problems at hand. He wasn't a natural at seduction, but he supposed with a name like his that was only to be expected. He cursed his parents once again for saddling him what could only be described as a MASSIVE turn off.
He had always had a complex about his name, harbouring a strong sense of resentment towards his mother for giving it to him. He had even been dumped on numerous occasions due to his over-sensitiveness about it and he often became overwrought during sex if his partner screamed it. Which they were prone to do if it got to that stage as despite his name, Jerome was an apt lover. It was just getting to the loving he had a problem with. Once he was there it was plain sailing to orgasmville. Sometimes he would even manage several return trips!!
The events that were to occur that evening were the result of months of planning, many careful conversations, steamy looks across the office and even a few hasty embraces during the sparsely populated office parties. He was finally going to get the girl. He was going from best friend to best fuck.
The plan was simple: Samantha was to arrive at 8:30. He had cooked her dinner and was going to charm her throughout the meal, subtly suggesting afterwards that they retreat to his bedroom - to keep warm of course, as the heating was 'broken' (ie he had taken a hammer to the boiler earlier, but if this worked out then he wouldn't be planning on fixing it any time soon!).
Once they were tucked up under the covers he would edge closer to her, one hand gently holding the back of her neck and tilting her luscious lips towards his as the other slid up her thigh, lightly stroking it. He shivered with pleasure at the mere thought of it, but then abruptly broke off from his reverie. He had to cook an aphrodisiac filled meal first, and hadn't the tiniest idea of how to begin it. Luckily his trusty cookbook was there to help him along and so he managed to turn out a delicious starter of asparagus spears, followed by oysters in a white sauce with a dessert of chocolate fondue with strawberries. He thought it best to finish with something a little messier - after all they could always take it up to the bedroom with them!!
Once the cooking was done, Jerome changed into a smart shirt and a pair of rather tight-fitting jeans with a slimming pin-striped suit jacket for good measure. He just had time to spray on his aftershave as the doorbell rang.
