Another Day at the office- Part 3
In the dark, I searched for Anthony's mouth, and he held me in his arms. We fell asleep satisfied. I never thought that I would have something with someone from work. Let alone Anthony, who I could swear was straight. But that didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was that he was the one sleeping soundly in my bed at that moment and I was lucky to have him by my side.
***
The next day, I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I turned around and smiled upon the sight of Anthony's snoring face, with one arm up and the other on his belly. His hairy chest was going up and down ever so slightly.
I decided to get up and make some breakfast. In the kitchen, I grabbed the French press and put some coffee in it. As I cracked some eggs in a pan, I heard some lazy footsteps coming through the sizzling sound.
"Morning." Said a sleepy voice.
"Hi" I replied turning myself on the counter, but still making breakfast.
"Smells nice..."
"I making some scrambled eggs, want some toast?"
"Nah eggs's fine. I don't eat carbs."
"Really? What do you mean...you work out don't you?" I laid two cups and plates on the small counter that separated the kitchen and living room. His fingers grabbed an apple from a bowl and he took a bite from it.
"Is a piece of toast really that much?" I handed him a plate with some eggs and poured some coffee.
"Well... everyone in my family is on the heavy side, so I try my best to keep in shape. I was a chubby kid so... I try to watch what I eat and stuff..."
Although I was glad to hear something personal as he didn't share much, I munched on my toast with a guilty look on my face and he laughed.
"Don't look at me like that... "
He grabbed my hand and took a bite from the piece of toast.
"Hey!..."
"It's good...mmgg"
I was beginning to know more about him. He actually was a sweet guy beneath his cocky exterior.
"What time is it?"
"I don't know...10 -- ish?"
"I gotta go... but I'll see you at work."
He got dressed in a jiff and left small my apartment.

We continued meeting casually. Most of the times he would call me late on Friday or Saturday night and we would fool around or drink some beers, before having hot sex. He would usually leave around midnight, despite me clinging onto him.
My bed now smelled like him, and I didn't want to wash the sheets because I could bury my nose and sniff his scent. I felt happy to have someone that made me want to get up in the morning, whenever I was in his arms, I felt at peace.

At work, he pretended we were just friends in front of Lisa or other co-workers. At the beginning, it excited me knowing there was this mutual agreement between us, a secret affair, but then I started to feel like he was ashamed of me. People still thought of him as a bachelor that was always hitting on girls in the office, meanwhile everyone knew I was gay. It's not like I was a flamboyant sassy guy, not that there's anything wrong with that, but I carried myself with pride. Anyhow, I was hoping we would become more than lovers. At meetings, he would stare at me a bit longer making me forget about what I was about to say. I could bet everyone could see my blushed cheeks, but it was probably my imagination.
Sometimes he would go to my cubicle just to tease me and touch my shoulder or ask me for a stapler even though I knew he had his own. My flustered face made him smile before leaving my desk. It made me happy he was only there to see me.
Once he even took it further as to ask my help with some supplies...
"Hey Mark, can you help me pick up some boxes from the supplies room?"
"Can't you get them yourself?" I said turning my head away from the screen.
"Come on, we are out of paper, and it'll be faster if you help me out. It's just a couple of boxes" He raised his thick eyebrows trying to make a puppy face.
"Okay..." It wasn't the first favor he asked but I just couldn't say no to him.
"Thanks buddy..."
We headed downstairs to the supplies room. It was a small room on the second floor. We could take supplies freely but as most companies do nowadays there was a green policy. Everyone had to make sure they reduced their paper consumption, and we had a recycling bin for most supplies, so there wasn't that much paper on the photocopier.
As I entered the small, long gray room that looked more like a closet, I saw three metal shelves with labelled cardstock boxes. On my knees, I started looking at the labels looking for the paper boxes, when I heard a clicking sound.
I continued looking and quickly found them. My hands were about to grab a box when Anthony grabbed me by the collar and pulled me up. Our eyes met right away. His warm breath was tickling my nose.
"What are you doing?"
My eyes shifted around the room even though there was only the two of us.
"...Don't worry. I locked the door."
He proceeded to kiss me deeply and I got weak on my knees. His hot wet tongue was playing with mine, while his rough fingers grabbed my ass. I kept my eyes open focusing on the door every now and then, just to check if someone was there. I must of admit I felt a great rush.
It had been a few weeks since we'd done stuff because my parents came to visit last weekend and then the following weekend, he was meeting some of his college buds. I knew he was horny but to do stuff at work was a risky move, even for him.
