I ignored Ryan at the office. That was nothing new, so I figured no one would know anything had changed. I wasn't counting on Ryan having a personality change overnight.
"Sam could you double check I've dotted my I's and crossed my T's on that proposal before I send it off?" He leant over my desk. I shrugged.
"Send it to me. I'll have it back in an hour." Ryan grinned and sat on my desk, tapping on his phone. I looked up at him. I heard Caro clearing her throat and I glanced at her.
"Something else, Ryan?" He grinned.
"When are you taking lunch?"
"Now. To look over your proposal."
"I'll pick you up something."
"I'm fine." I glared at Ryan and shook my head a fraction. He sighed.
"Fine. Thanks mate." He overpronounced the T in mate and rolled his eyes at me as he stood up and walked away. Caro immediately turned to me.
"What the hell?" I shrugged. "That was almost friendly." She raised her eyebrows at me and I avoided her eyes, turning back to Ryan's diatribe on the degradation of waterways. I can't believe I fooled around with fucking Ryan. Bad enough that it was someone in the office- but Ryan?! I was smarter than that. I can't believe I fell for his big dumb blonde routine like a total damn slut.
I thought I might die if Caro ever found out.
"I dunno." I said absentmindedly as I proof read. He made a lot of typos.
"This anything to do with your boys drinks the other night?"
"Maybe."
"Ah- huh." She folded her arms and looked at me firmly. "What happened?"
"Nothing! We had some beers. I guess he was less of an ass than usual. Think he felt bad about the budget clusterfuck." Caro didn't seem convinced. She's not an idiot. I texted Ryan.
You want to tone it down a bit?
You want me to stop being nice to you?
Yeah it's fucking weird.
You worried people are gonna suspect something?
No one would ever suspect I'm dumb enough to fall for your shit
You're so charming Sammy.
I might not be charming but at least I can spell tribunal. You really think it's the Waitangi Tribute?
Fuck. I type a lot on mobile and I miss autocorrects
Dumbass
Nice ass though. Been thinking about it.
Don't think too hard. You might hurt yourself.
"Who is he?" Caro asked. I must have turned bright red. I looked up from my phone. "You're smiling." She said. "In that goofy you're in love kinda way." I rolled my eyes.
"You're reading a lot into that. It was a one off thing. Not my type."
"Well he's making you smile like he's your type." I glanced down at my phone.
You thinking about my ass Sammy?
It's hard not to when its sitting on my desk every fucking morning.
You want it.
And I'll have it.
Your's first.
We'll see.
I sent him back his edited proposal and continued to work my way through my inbox.
We'd see.
I mean. God that idiot needed a dicking down.
β-
We had a meeting a couple of days later, one of those overly long get everyone up to date kinds of meetings that can totally be reduced to an email. If it were up to me all meetings would be emails.
I stepped in the lift and Ryan stepped in behind me.
"Hey." He grinned and I sighed, watching the doors close.
Neither of us could stop ourselves. I threw myself into his arms and he moaned as he tilted my chin up to kiss me.
"You working yourself open for me like I told you to, puppy?" He growled as he panted against my face, his tongue going everywhere.
"No point." I ground my hips against him. Ryan chuckled and I'm sure we would have argued about it but elevator rides are only so long. We broke apart as the lift conveniently dinged for our floor and straightened ourselves up quickly. We nodded at Erin as we stepped into the meeting room.
"China has never qualified for the rugby world cup." Ryan said casually as we sat down. I shrugged at him.
"This will shock you, but not much of a rugby guy."
"Yeah, but you've heard of the All Blacks."
"Uh, yeah."
"Right. So imagine if the All Blacks played China. Pretty obvious who would end up on top right?"
Oh my god. I glanced at Erin. She was talking to Steve about arrangements for Fiona's leaving party. No one was paying attention to us.
"I wouldn't dare to suggest China was anywhere near the level of New Zealand when it comes to rugby." Ryan grinned at me. "But I don't know if you ever watch the Olympics? China dominates." He grinned even wider and opened his mouth to say some smartass comment but we were interrupted.
"Well actually America usually dominates." Gerry puffed as he settled in next to us. Ryan and I exchanged a smile and I let the two of them talk about sport as we waited for everyone to arrive.

I needed to get him out of my head so I did what I always do when I need to clear my head and called Aaron. Only Aaron was out of town so I tried Connor. Only Connor was getting serious with Luke, so I tried Dan, out of luck there too... I made my way through Eddy and Eoghan and finally Fabian- who was free.
"Missed you." He whispered as I pulled him in for a kiss. I rolled my eyes and started stripping him in the doorway. Fabe always looks good, but he looks way better naked. "Three weeks Sam!"
"How's my competition?" I teased. Fabe and I have an understanding. We like fucking each other, but we like fucking other guys too. Of course, we have to pretend that we're the best each other has, it's all part of the game. Fabian allowed me to strip him to his underwear before leading me to my bedroom and pushing me back on the bed.
"Haven't cum from my ass since last time you used it." He complained as he slowly started to unbutton my shirt and caress my chest. "You've been working out." He gently touched my pecs with a grin.
"I know, I'm basically Arnie." I joked as I peeled my shirt off. Fabian had moved his hands to my trousers and was undoing my belt.
"You look good." He said sincerely. Hmm. Sincerity. Not sure about that. I smiled at him and allowed him to pull my trousers off and we made out for a while, just pressing our bodies together and feeling each other grow harder. I loved the feel of Fabian. He was tall and slim and dark and tanned. He had a sight accent which I had assumed was Spanish for no real reason- he'd laughed and told me he was Italian. His tanned skin just gently stretched over his soft muscles as he reacted to my touch, and he moaned softly when I played with his nipples and ran my fingers and tongue through the soft covering of hair on his chest.
I liked to watch him writhe beneath me- he was one of those super sensitive guys who would squirm at the lightest touch. I liked to tease him and watch him totally fall apart, which he always obligingly did.
"Sammmm... please..." He moaned as my hands played with his balls and taint and he spread his legs wider and wider.
"You need something baby?"
