Chapter Nine

“Five…four…three…two…one…and we have lift off.” The announcer counted down the successful launch.

Mouth half open, body tensed, throat dry, from his uncomfortable seat behind his desk, Garner watched a plume of white smoke billow below the rocket before it finally ascended, taking off in grandeur.

He leaned his head back and took a deep breath, wondering if it was as good for him as it was for the rocket. Of course, he didn’t have lift off therefore it didn’t count.

What he did have was a pair of blue balls that left him pacing around his office at four in the morning trying to get some writing done. After abruptly leaving him and Wynn in a state of want the night before, he spent the rest of the night realizing what a grave mistake he made. When he couldn’t get a word down on paper, he decided cleaning out his email might be in order. Apparently, he wasn’t the only one up in the wee hours of the morning. He received five different messages from Jim, informing him they were scheduling the rocket launch in a month and a half to keep the investors from pulling out and how much work they needed to get done. Garner then spent the next two hours watching video clips of the amazing phallic symbols bursting into the atmosphere for inspiration.

“Dr. Knox.” Wheeling a cart, Mrs. Benton entered his office. “I have your coffee.”

“Thank you.” He watched Mrs. Benton prepare his brew, first by pouring the steaming liquid into the mug then by lifting the aerosol canister and creating a perfect dollop of whipped cream.

He exhaled and crossed his legs. Yes, the night before, he stopped, didn't go in for the kill, finish the job. Aside from his raging erection snaking down his leg as he walked away, he couldn't erase from his mind the image of Wynn looking at him with utter confusion. He could have had her easily. She wanted him.

Yet he left them both unsatisfied, and he did it on purpose. What he wanted for years, he denied himself. It wasn't time for them, but then he had to ask what he waited for? They were five years older. They both knew they weren't a match, so why didn't he allow them a little relief among former friends?

Last night he had to kiss her, touch her, have that connection. But he refused to sleep with her and then risk having her reiterate how she thought he wasn’t a true scientist. He was a lower-life form.

Still, he also denied any self-initiated relief, choosing to stay horny and miserable with no outlet. Something was most definitely wrong with him.

"Here you are." Mrs. Benton put the cup down in front of him.

"It wasn't the right time." Caught in his own thoughts, he didn't realize he said the words aloud and blinked.

"You don't want coffee?" She went to remove the cup.

He held up his hand, stopping the woman from taking his elixir away. "I want Wynn." In an effort to not draw attention to what he said, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
