"Ooooh, ahhhhhh, OOOOOH, AHHHHH..."
Victoria's moans of pleasure echoed off the walls of the shower enclosure. She was leaning against the back wall, one hand cupping a full breast, the other buried between her thighs. She was on the brink of orgasm when a flash of movement in the bathroom doorway caught her eye. Stifling a shriek, she relaxed slightly as she recognized the foreman of the crew currently employed to paint her house.
He looked as startled as she.
"I'm sorry," he mouthed. "I'm berry sorry. I hear noise, I think something is wrong..." he continued in his Russian accent.
Victoria didn't quite know what to do. As the shock wore off and the lust-haze cleared she realized he was staring at her naked body through the clear glass shower door.
"It's OK, Yuri," she said in as dignified a tone as she could manage under the circumstances.
His admiration was evident as his gaze traveled up her long slender legs, past round pink-tipped breasts to a pretty heart-shaped face surrounded by flame-red curls.
"You are beautiful, Miss Victoria," he blurted, "like an exotic rose."
She liked the way he said her name, drawing out each syllable musically and not trying to shorten it. She hated it when people called her Tory or, God forbid, Vicky.
She resisted the urge to snatch a towel and cover herself. After all, having a good-looking man admiring her naked body was the sexiest thing that had happened to her in a long while. Besides, it was his fault she was in the shower masturbating in the middle of the day anyway!
Yuri and his crew had been on the job almost a week. She'd gotten to know him pretty well through numerous consultations, questions, discussions and one rather heated argument over the color she'd chosen for her bedroom.
"Too noisy," he'd said. She had insisted, however, and been forced to admit he was right when the delicate salmon pink sample she'd loved had darkened to an unfortunate Pepto Bismol shade when dry.
She'd joined the crew on lunch breaks a couple of times and they'd had several discussions on current events and world politics. She was especially fascinated by his description of the breakup of the Soviet Union when he was a teenager. He was intriguing and self-effacing about his accomplishments. He'd emigrated with nothing and worked hard to build a business with a reputation for excellent service and quality work.
She'd been at her desk working from home that morning, trying to ignore the bustling workers. Occasionally she'd catch a glimpse of Yuri in is faded jeans, work boots and paint splattered T-shirt. He fascinated her with his intelligence, dark good looks and musically accented English.
"Wouldn't the guys in the office love this?" she asked herself mockingly.
They'd laugh at the idea of uptight, buttoned-down Victoria Cousins lusting after the house painter. Actually, they'd be shocked at her lusting after anyone. Her innate shyness and coolly professional manner had been mistaken for standoffishness from day one with the large computer firm and she couldn't seem to shake the "Ice Queen" label. She was ambitious and took her work seriously. Too seriously, she reflected, given the stomach ulcers and insomnia plaguing her lately. She shook her head and attempted to concentrate on a sales proposal. But her thoughts kept floating to Yuri. Would his moustache tickle if he kissed her ... everywhere? How would his callused hands feel on her breasts? Was his butt as delicious as it looked in those tight jeans?
Her body began to heat as she imagined the answers to these lascivious musings. She enjoyed the feeling for awhile, balancing on the thin line between pleasurable arousal and desperate need for release, then worked a bit more to occupy her mind. Finally, though, she couldn't stand it any longer. She saw that the crew had moved outdoors for some exterior work so she headed to her bedroom to take a shower, reflecting that she could use some cooling off.
It didn't work. Instead, naked under the warm water, her fantasies had returned full force. Images of Yuri's strong body wrapped around hers under the cascading spray proved to be her undoing. The ache in her body became almost unbearable. Her hands began to move over her body, seeking relief.
Then she'd seen him standing by the door.
"I'm sorry," he repeated, bringing her back to the present, "I go now."
"No," she whispered. "No, Yuri," she repeated in a stronger voice. "Don't go."
He stared.
Unaccustomed to being this bold, she floundered for a moment.
