I woke up wanting Margo. I had opened Pandora’s box and thoughts of her consumed me, had me hard upon waking in my new bed. To make matters worse, I had three missed calls from Ann and an email demanding that I call her. Apparently, the general counsel at Aggregate Shipping was upset that documents hadn’t been sent yet. I was supposed to be keeping my workload light now that Margo and I were full steam ahead on Bankman, but Ann didn’t care.

I ran a hand through my hair. Fuck. It was unlike me to not have drafts with a client before they even thought to ask. I was distracted by whatever this was with Margo and I was off my game. I couldn’t let up now. Just another month or two of giving it my all and I would finally be there.

I showered and skipped my workout, not letting myself think about Margo while I got ready for work. With any luck she would stay home today. Fat chance. She’d probably be there when I got in, already killing it. She wasn’t distracted by me like I was her. I nearly growled in frustration.

When I got to the office she was there, her dark hair flowing over her shoulders and tight sleeveless turtleneck setting off her high cheekbones and dark eyes.

“Margo, hi.” I felt unsettled in own skin around her. Nervous energy made me run a hand over my jaw.

“Hi, how are you?” Her cheeks were pink and she dropped her eyes. My neck was hot. She was embarrassed about last night. Just as I had feared, though I had hoped against hope that she wouldn’t be. What did you expect after fooling around with her?

Luckily for her, I was too annoyed about my work to needle her. I gave her a short nod and went to my desk.

I threw myself into prep for the Bankman deal and start firing off emails to Brad and the new first year associate we had staffed. I was usually cordial but something in me felt brittle after the last few days with Margo. Confessing my darkest secret to her, and then that fantastic sex, and now her embarrassment, it was all too much.

I sent an “on it” to Ann after the third email from her and blew out a breath. I had to be careful or I was going to get a talking to about my attitude. The partners expected a level of subservience from us minions and I was not in the mood today. I wanted to put my fist through my computer, or run around the block ten times. Instead, I was here, in a suit that felt like it was strangling me, monitoring every breath Margo took and wondering how ashamed she was of our interlude. Based off her complete silence for the past few hours, I would venture to guess that she was very ashamed. I turned slightly so I could watch her work from the corner of my eye.
