I was almost shaking as I went down to the basement. What had I done? What was going to happen? Adam had long-since gone. I stopped on our floor on the way down to check. Would he say anything? It was about as bad a situation as one could be in. Better yet, I had the whole weekend to worry about it. And worry about it I did.
I tried to phone him the next day, to no avail; I just got his voice mail. I hoped that he wouldn't tell anyone. I figured he wouldn't tell anyone in the management. I mean, who would even mention that? How would you start such a conversation? In any case, he was young too; how offended could he be? But I thought he might mention it to my colleagues; after all, what a coup! I could just imagine that conversation in the canteen the next day, in my absence! It was so difficult to judge. No-one could accuse me of doing something morally wrong, as an individual, but in the corporate setting it seemed so bad.
Despite my worries about the outcome, I found the memory of it incredibly exciting. The feeling of heart-pounding squirting, that dramatic punch of fear that slammed my orgasmic body, was intoxicating. I wanked time and again over the weekend, driven by the memory of that awesome second, though each orgasm gave way to a nagging fear.
When I got to the office on Monday, my heart was pounding almost as strongly as it had the previous Thursday night. I was there early, so I might be first into the office, but he was already sat there, as were some of my colleagues. As I walked past him, trying to keep a calm tone to my voice and attempting a cheery "Morning!", his face was inscrutable. Was that good? Bad? How the hell could I know? I got on with my work silently.
Whereas there would normally have been banter between us, by ten o'clock, we'd hardly said a word to each other. I couldn't stand it. I sidled up to him, trying to feign nonchalance.
"I'm going downstairs," I said, "Are you coming down for coffee?" My heart was racing again.
"Alright." His face gave away nothing.
We took the lift down and didn't speak. I held the door open for him into the restaurant. We got our coffee, noiselessly. We added milk and sugar, stood next to each other. Still nothing. I paid. We sat down opposite each other in the cavernous underground canteen.
"Good weekend?" he asked.
"Not really," I said, "things on my mind."
"Wanker!" he said, a big grin on his face.
"And I suppose you don't?"
"Not in work!"
"Are you going to say anything?" This was the only question on my mind.
"Course not! Why would you even think that? Would you say anything?"
"No, but then..." My voice trailed off. I know it's a clichΓ©, but it truly felt as though a weight inside me had been lifted. That nagging fear had gone in a trice.
"Thanks. I was worried," I found myself saying, "I couldn't think of anything else since then."
"Me neither..." he said, grinning madly again.
"I tried to call you on Friday. I just got your voice mail."
"I was on holiday, you idiot," he said, "didn't you remember?"
