Ann
I felt better than I had in years.
Iâd never really been brimming with confidence, not even when I was young and knew everything. Even in the army I was more of a follower than a leader, with no real thoughts or designs on advancement. I was always doing the best I could on whatever job I was given.
The only place I really felt myself was in the courtroom â fighting the good fight when I had all the facts I could marshal on my side. Even though the system was meant to be adversarial, it never really felt that way to me. No matter how much the opposition tried to psych me out. It was a satisfaction I refused to give them. Now I was starting to feel confident in my romantic life too. I knew that the relationship between Russ and me was supposed to be fake, for the benefit of my family. Though part of me couldnât shake the fact that it was starting to feel real. Or at least that I wanted it to be.
I was still a bit sore that he had left The Blue Room so quickly. Not so much that he did it, but when it had happened. Leaving me alone with the proposal photos and boxes of food, right when everyone was paying the most attention. It was really embarrassing. My only real conciliation was that the cheesecake was really good. Confusing things even more was that since our successful date two nights before, I couldnât stop thinking about him. Not the least because we had been flirting shamelessly. Not just with words. There was a lot of that too, particularly on Russâs end. The hottie being quite the wordsmith when called upon. He could have a successful career in limericks if the law ever fell through.
In addition to the words, there was also the touching. Kissing for example. Lots of kissing when no one was around. Some quick and soft, some long and passionate, all with gentle caresses to my cheek that made me vibrate.
A bit rarer but no less arousing were the strokes down my back when passing in the halls and gentle squeezes on my ass when coming up behind me in the break room. Russâs strong, warm hand making me so wet I would have to take a break to touch myself in my office. It was all getting to be too much to be honest and if I didnât do something soon there was a distinct possibility I might go insane with lust.
With a deep, calming breath, I picked up the phone and dialed. âHello?â âHi, Russ, itâs Ann, could you come up to my office please?â I asked, struggling to keep my tone even. âOf course,â he said. I still wasnât used to that. I knew I was a partner at the firm, but it still surprised me a bit when people obeyed me automatically. It really wasnât something that I took for granted or abused for my own gain.
