Dave fumbled with the hot pizza as he tried to balance the plate, his laptop, and the remote as he made himself comfortable on the couch. Monty Python blared on the television. He was taking full advantage with his wife gone for three days. It was a rare time to geek out, eat greasy pizza, and maybe even jack off to some raunchy porn in the living room or the sun room... hell, where ever he wanted to.
On the tv, John Cleese was now walking in an amusingly awkward way. Dave booted up his laptop and ate some pizza. After a long pull of beer, he browsed a few websites before going to Craigs List. He had been trying to find a bike before the weather warmed up, but so far no luck.
Perhaps it was because he was home alone, but Dave eyed the Personals. With a laugh, he scanned the 'Casual Encounters'. He shook his head at the obvious spam. A few caught his eye and he wondered idly if any of them worked. Clicking out, he noticed 'Missed Connections'
Man, he hadn't looked at those since they were called that in the Chicago Reader. He pulled it up and began reading a few of the ads...
All of you improve dudes - w4m
Cute barista in Wicker Park - w4m
You liked my perfume - w4m
Lincoln pub crawl - w4m
I've got a crush on you - w4m
A shock ran through Dave's body as he read the posting.
I've got a crush on you - w4m
I have an unbearable crush on you.
We are both married but I feel an immense chemistry. I nearly about choked when you mentioned that you were going to be lonely with your wife away till Thursday. Was that a hint? Or was that just the crazy Super Moon doing crazy things to our libidos?
You are adorable.
Nervously, he ran his hands through his curly red hair. It sounded like him. He had mentioned his wife being gone for a few days and then had chatted about the Super Moon... Could it really be for him? He opened up his email to respond back. And then closed it. What could he say?
He had a pretty good idea who it was at work... if it was him. He felt his cock harden in response. Josie had caught his eye since the first day of work. She was shorter, maybe 5'4" and curvy with luscious breasts and sensual hips. She always had a witty comment and was fun and flirty, but he was married and she was married. He had always thought it was a safe outlet for her to flirt without having to worry about a response.
When they would have the occasional lunch, Dave always had to fight to keep his eyes off her beautifully large breasts. A few times, he thought she intentionally wore something low cut or left a button undone to draw his attention. Because of his fair skin (damn that Irish blood!), he blushed easily. She'd laugh with her green eyes and smile innocently.
He reopened his email. Hesitantly, he typed out.
Hi,
I think I know who this is and I think your posting is for me. I am going to ask you tomorrow if you'd like to go to lunch. If this is really you, suggest we go to Potbelly's.
Dave hit send before he could reconsider and wondered if he was making a fool of himself. He realized that he was rock hard. He took a deep breath and resisted the impulse to jack off at that moment.

Dave glanced up at the clock. 10:05. He nervously wiped his hands and glanced around the office. He could see the tops of heads as his co-workers continued as if this was any other day. Should he do this? What if he was wrong? Taking a deep breath, he got up and walked down the hallway. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach. He almost stopped at the bathroom but took a deep breath and powered on.
He turned the corner. Was Josie looking for him?
He saw a mass of dark red hair tumble forward and she appeared to be working furiously.
"Hey Josie," Dave endeavored to act relaxed. They had gone to lunch many times... there was no reason to be nervous.
"Oh... hey Dave." She smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Busy day for you?" He pointed at the screen.
Josie giggled and shook her head. "Not so bad... you know, the usual stuff."
Dave leaned against the cubicle wall. Feeling it tilt dangerously, he stumbled upright as Josie's laughter pealed out.
"Careful Dave!" Josie's hand shot out and grabbed his forearm. Her hand felt warm and goosebumps shivered up his arm.
"Thanks." Blush warmed his face and blurted out. "Do you want to go to lunch today?"
Their eyes met.
"Sounds great! How about..." Josie's smile grew wider "Potbelly's?"
Dave gave an inward sigh of relief and felt his own smile widen in response. "That'll work. Noon?"
"It's a date!" Josie winked and Dave felt himself blushing once again.
Excitement shot through his body as Dave made his way back to his desk. He looked up at the clock, only 10:15. He wondered if he was going to get any work done before lunch.
The restaurant was loud as Josie and Dave sat across from each other, both about halfway done with their sandwiches and an unusual silence between them.
Dave tried to think of a sly way to bring up Missed Connections when Josie nearly caused him to choke.
"Was it your wife being away or the supermoon comment that clued you in?"
Dave fought to swallow his sandwich and he looked up at his flirtatious co-worker. Josie leaned forward and Dave realized just how low cut her shirt was. Cleavage jiggled enticingly. He knew he was staring and didn't care.
"Well..." Josie took a deep breath, filling her shirt even more. "I'm waiting."
"Um..." He licked his lips. "It was kind of both. I didn't bring up Cady leaving for work to too many people."
"When does your wife get back?"
"Not until Thursday night."
"So what are your plans for tonight?"
Dave chuckled. "None really..." Something in the expression on her face, a mixture of fun, passion, and excitement, made his cock harden. "Do you have any ideas?"
"Oh I have lots of ideas." Josie covered her mouth with mock innocence. "But we are both married..."
He felt his stomach drop. Perhaps this was all just flirtatious fun after all.
"Of course if we just cuddled on the couch."
Dave laughed. "Like teenagers?"
She nodded. "Even kissing. Kissing is not really cheating. I miss the days where the make out session was the goal and not a stop along the way to getting into a girl's pants."
"What about your husband?"
"Ryan? He's has volleyball tonight and won't be home until late."
