Thirteen
It was past eleven o’clock when I reached my office. As I passed by coworkers, a few curious looks darted toward me. I hoped nobody was going to grumble about my arriving late. After all, when Howie was in charge I came by once a week. But now things had changed. I wondered how my relationship with Blade would evolve in the office environment. I didn’t want to diminish his authority in any way, but I knew it would be impossible to hide our relationship. And I knew he wouldn’t accept hiding it, in any case. Neither would I, for that matter. If anyone had a problem with us being together, they would just have to suck it up.
With that comforting thought and a firm nod of my chin, I headed toward my office. I glanced longingly at Blade’s closed office door, but kept on walking. No mixing business with pleasure.
In my office, I turned on the air conditioning and was just aligning my papers when the door opened quietly and a contrite Belle stuck her head in.
“Can I come in?” she asked tentatively, her lower lip caught between her small, white teeth.
I smiled at her and crooked my finger in a come on gesture. She grinned and rushed into my office, pushing the door closed.
“Tell me I didn’t blow it, Angie! I didn’t want to tell him where you were, really I didn’t, but when he looked down at me with that serious, frowning face of his and that dominant attitude, I nearly squirmed. And when he threatened to fire me, he truly got me scared. I had to tell him where you were, and what happened. I had no choice!”
She talked fast and breathless, her big, blue eyes watching me earnestly. She looked hilarious, but so worried I rushed to reassure her.
“Don’t worry, Belle. I’m glad you told Blade where to find me. You’ve no idea how grateful I am for that. We... got back together.”
She stared at me, dumbfounded.
“But... but what about his wife?” she stammered.
“She is his ex-wife. It was all a misunderstanding. Sit down,” I said and proceeded to tell her everything, including the hottest details—she was my best friend after all. She listened wide-eyed, exclaiming now and again in disbelieve or pure excitement, especially when I got to the nitty gritty.
“So, that’s about it,” I concluded several minutes later, uncapping my water bottle to irrigate my dry throat.
“Oh, my God!” She sighed and melted into the chair facing my desk, with a hand on her heart. “This is so romantic! I would give anything to have a man like that.”
“What about Henri?”
She scoffed.
“Henri doesn’t look half as good as your Blade, and he never gave me more than one orgasm at a time.”
I laughed.
“Maybe you’re not doing it right.”
“Maybe Blade should give me a demonstration,” she joked, giggling. “Is he really that good?”
“Oh, yesss...” I let out a long breath and reclined in my chair, with a silly look on my smiling face. “I fib you not, my friend.
