Patrick was devastated by the news. It hit him like a ton of bricks. He stood against the wall frozen as Stan made the announcement. Stan called the team together that morning for a quick meeting in his office. Everyone crowded inside; Jenny was annoyed her day was being interrupted so early. Tommy had that clueless look on his face that he always has, Patrick leaned against the wall by Stan's desk. Michelle and Carol stood together on the other side of the small office. The rest of the team members filled the room.
Stan said, "I'm pleased to announce that Michelle is being transferred back to her old office, she will be assuming a new role in the fraud department. I know we will all miss her but this is a challenging new opportunity for her and she will be closer to home again, it will make things a lot easier on her."
Everyone congratulated Michelle, they all new how hard the move to this office had been on her and Rachel, everyone but Patrick. He was numb; he couldn't even look at her. Patrick walked back to his desk in a daze; he sat down and began working, just going through the motions. The news spread through the office quickly and other co-workers came up to congratulate her, but Patrick just focused on his work, he didn't even turn around when someone told a joke or mentioned his name.
Patrick knew what they had, no matter how special, couldn't last. Their circumstances just wouldn't allow it, but for it to end already, after only two encounters, he wasn't ready for that. The passion that they shared when they made love was incredible. They consumed each other when they were together. It was so intense, so erotic when their bodies embraced. Michelle would wrap her legs around Patrick's waist, his caramel colored cock sliding in and out of her white pussy, slowly at first, then faster as their passion-intensified building to that ultimate release for both of them. Cumming together, then collapsing on the bed exhausted. But, why did it have to end so soon?
Maybe this was for the best, before things got out of hand or before they were caught. They kept their secret well, only Carol knew. Both were very careful with how they interacted in the office. Patrick did slip up once, pinching Michelle's ass when she was getting smart with him, but no one saw.
Finally, Patrick turned and looked at her, "Congratulations Michelle, this is great for you and Rachel; it will make things a lot better for you. Don't forget about us when you leave, make sure you keep in touch," he said with a forced laugh.
Michelle got up and walked over to Patrick's desk, "I'm so sorry Pat, I tried to call you to tell you yesterday, it all happened so fast. You know it really was a hard decision for me to make. I was torn with leaving you, leaving everyone here, but its been so hard on me. The drive everyday, making arrangements for Rachel, it has just been too much for me."
"It's ok Michelle," Patrick replied, "I understand, I would have been upset with you if you had made a different decision. I know what its like to drive almost 2 hours to get to work, it's very stressful, and it takes its toll on you."
Patrick wanted to hold her so badly right then, to take her in his arms and kiss her, pull her body against his, feel her breast pressed against his chest as his hands found her ass. However, all he could do is sit at his desk and look into her eyes. He hoped that she could feel exactly what he was feeling for her at that moment.
Michelle smiled knowingly at him and walked back to her desk. She was close to tears but had to keep it together. So much and gone on the past few months, from the move to the new office, dancing as Pollyanna at the Wild Italian to the affair with Patrick. It's no wonder that there have been health issues to deal with, emotional issues to deal with, and Patrick issues to deal with. He has been so kind, not just a fuck buddy, but a lover, a comforter, and an encourager. The sex has been fantastic Michelle thought; Patrick loves to eat my pussy, to suck on my lips and clit, making me cum before he slides his cock in me. Then stroking me so slowly, feeling every inch of him sliding in and out me before pumping me full of his cum...
The next few days were uneventful, just the usual work, everyone was very busy. People were trying to squeeze in vacation days before year-end so the phones were ringing non-stop. It was uneventful that is, until Patrick stopped Michelle in the copier room Wednesday afternoon.
"Michelle, can I go you home after the Holiday Party Friday night?"
"What?" Michelle replied, the question totally unexpected. "Um...I um, I don't know Patrick. I don't know if that's, if that's a good idea," she stammered after being caught off guard.
"Well, think about it and let me know Michelle. I want to be with you before you leave to go back to your old office. Let me know after you have thought about it, please."
Friday came and Michelle still had not given Patrick an answer. Neither of them was sure if it was the right thing, but they both knew that they wanted each other, even if it was going to be for the last time. Michelle left the office without giving him reply. At home, she showered and put on her black skirt, stockings, garter belt, and a black g-string. A black lace bra and a silk lavender blouse completed her ensemble. It was sexy but conservative enough for an office party.
At his home, Patrick showered and put on his dark blue Hickey Freeman suit and a light blue shirt. A red tie completed his outfit. As he drove to the banquet hall, he thought about Michelle, wondered what she would wear to the party. Was he going to go home with her that evening? Luther was playing on the radio as he drove; ironically, the DJ selected If Only for One Night.
They sat next to each other at the team table. The drinks were flowing and the music was jumping, everyone was having a great time. When dinner was served and everyone was focused on eating Patrick placed his hand on Michelle's thigh, sliding it along her leg under her skirt. He paused when his fingers reached the top of her stocking and touched her soft flesh just inches away for her V. Michelle discretely spread her legs a little inviting his fingers to continue their journey. When they reached their destination, he found the material of her g-string damp.
Michelle leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Follow me home tonight Pat, I want you to make love to me."
Patrick smiled as they finished their dinner. After dessert, they go up and mingled with everyone, making sure to say hello and chat with people in different parts of the room. They had agreed that Michelle would leave first, wait in the parking lot for five minutes then drive down the road to the shopping plaza. Patrick would meet her there 10 minutes later and follow her home. After the dancing started and a few people left Michelle said her good byes. Fifteen minutes later Patrick met her at the shopping plaza and trailed her to her home.
Patrick followed Michelle into the house and closed the door behind him. His palms were sweaty, a nervous smile on his face as he watched Michelle walk. It had been three months since they made love at Carol's house, Patrick felt as if it was going to be their first time all over again. He could feel his cock starting to harden as he walked behind Michelle. Her ass swayed with each step. Patrick's eyes moved down from her ass to admire her legs, the black stocking accentuating her calves as the muscles contacted and relaxed with each step.
Michelle led him into the living room and stood by the sofa. Patrick sat down and she straddled him, her breast level with his mouth. Placing his hands on the back of her thighs, Patrick slowly slid them up her legs under her skirt. Michelle shivered a little as his hands slid over the top of her stockings onto her skin. They were still cold from the outside air. When they reached her soft ass, she lowered herself onto his lap. Patrick titled his head back and their lips met. A soft short kiss at first, then Patrick cupped her ass, his fingers sliding between her cheeks, the tips pressing against her g-sting. Michelle responded with a long passionate kiss, her lips opening his as she slid her tongue into his mouth. Michelle's hands held the back of Patrick's shaved head, pulling him into her kiss.
