Checking my own phone, it was past 10PM, and I wondered if Mack was still awake. “Do you care if I take a shower? I’d rather do it tonight versus in the morning.”
Finishing her glass of wine, she popped up from the couch and headed toward the kitchen. “Go for it, I’m going to head to bed.” Setting her wine glass in the dishwasher, she added, “There should be extra towels in the bathroom closet, and if you’re not picky, there’s shampoo and soap you can use if you don’t want to unpack your stuff.”“Thanks.” I stood from the couch, grabbing my bag and digging through it for a tank top and shorts to wear after my shower. I waited for Mindy to close her bedroom door, then tiptoed to the bathroom. Leaning next to the counter, I tossed my clothes by the sink and swiped through my phone. I’d text Mack, just to see if he were up. Thinking about his abs were making my thighs clench togetheFinding the soap, I squirted some on my hands, then leaned backward against the tile. Now, when I massaged my breasts, he could see the tops of the curves as I pushed them upward, my nipples just out of view.He groaned, his bicep moving faster, his eyes never leaving the screen. I licked my lips again, moving one of my hands down my belly, then cupping between my legs.He moved forward in his chair, his stomach clenching while he watched me. Could he tell I was touching myself lower? What was my giveaway? I could see the screen wasn’t capturing my hand movements, was he just imagining as I was? Maybe he was reliving when we had been together before.Before I could control myself anymore, my finger dipped between my folds, rubbing slow circles around the sensitive button. It felt amazing, but nothing compared to when Mack would touch me there.His breathing picked up, matching mine, his eyes now locked with mine. His jaw was tight, his lips trembling
He pointed his finger at me. “I knew you screwed your receptionist yesterday morning, you’re such a playboy.”I shook my head. Why did everyone assume I slept with my receptionists? They typically didn’t even last a month. Kelsey had been the only one from my office I’d had the urge to chase after and engage in sexual acts. I’d been with a few very aggressive interns, but never during company time. When it came to pleasing myself in my office and during work time, it was just her. And it was going to stay that way… unless I freaked her out by following her across states to another city for a weekend with the hopes of… I didn’t even know what I was hoping for by following her.I ran my hands over my head. “It wasn’t her.”Cody smiled. “Was it Kelsey? That’s fantasy girl’s name, right?”Sighing, I peered over at him through my hands. “Yes.”“Yes,
KelseyMindy was buzzing the whole taxi ride into the city, thrilled to be back in the big city she called home. “I’m not saying Chicago is better than Cleveland, but there’s something livelier about these streets.”“Couldn’t be the bums,” I said quietly as we passed by a shelter.She waved me off. “Not here, I’m talking about deep into the city, you know, where Oprah is.”How could I forget? Mindy grew up in a penthouse on the North side of the City. She didn’t know what poverty was when she was growing up. In her eyes, Cleveland was no comparison.I didn’t grow up in a big city, but a small suburb. It wasn’t city life by any means, but we also didn’t need to drive miles to get to a grocery store.Eventually we were driving along the lakeshore, the high as clouds buildings stacked next to one another, fancy people with their designer outfits and extravagant hand
I scowled. “That seems like a lot for a one night,” I made quotes with my fingers, “fling.”She smirked, her eyes sparkling. “If I’m lucky, I’ll use it twice.”I shook my head and laughed, scooching off the bed and heading into the luscious bathroom I had yet to explore. “Are you having a sexual awakening or something?”She sprawled out on my bed. “No, I’m young and love to love. I’m curious as to why you’re not into fucking?”My eyes caught the full-length mirror in the bathroom that was bigger than my apartment kitchen and dining room combined. My face was beginning to flush when she said it. “Who said I wasn’t?”A thud came from Mindy hopping off the bed, then the pitter patter of her feet on the marble flooring came up behind me. “You don’t seem to care if you find some loving this weekend, that’s all.”I pretended to p
He nodded, his grin widening.Giving in, I began to share. “She was the typical college grad, bouncy and eager. Blonde, blue-eyed, tight in all the right places. Going against my better judgment, she asked for my phone number in case something went wrong with my lunch order. Terrible excuse, I know, but I was busy and behind--”“And grouchy,” he added, tipping his beer in my direction.“Probably,” I cleared my throat. “She started texting me one night, then she started sending me pictures… so I gave in and went to her apartment.”“How was she?”My shoulders scrunched upward while I frowned. “What? She was normal. Eager to please, a little too eager, and too aggressive with the teeth, might I add. I wasn’t interested in spending another night with her. She, on the other hand, became extremely clingy. I ended up firing her and blocking her number.”Cody showed me his teet
KelseyThe night out on the town had been great with Mindy. We shopped along the Magnificent Mile, grabbing a high-end cocktail on the top floor of Starbucks midway through our endeavors. Who knew Starbucks had its own bourbon to pair with a blend of strong espresso? Turns out they’re just as good at making liquor as they are coffee.As Mindy promised, we found the lingerie store. I caved to her offer of purchasing a sleek and lacy number, one that managed to give my boobs some killer cleavage, although it barely covered my skin. Slips of fabric crisscrossed down my stomach and along my hips, accentuating my figure. The bottom was as lacy as the top, covering only half of my ass. The main threads were black, but the lace was a dark green, perfect for the weekend. The only problem, the man I wanted to wear it for was five hours away.Mack and I still hadn’t seen each other completely naked, and depending on how much I’d drink tonight, he’d be
Shit. He was thinking of this as a double date verses a being a friendly crutch for his friend to get some ass with an old flame. “Don’t get nervous around me,” I said quickly, wanting to make light of the conversation. “I’m just like any other woman trying to find her way into being a functioning adult.”“Zack told me you just got a big promotion, that’s why you and Mindy are in Chicago this weekend, to celebrate.”I shook my head and shot my eyes to the ceiling. “Mindy brings me to Chicago every St. Patrick’s Day weekend. This isn’t just for me. I personally don’t need a weekend away to celebrate a promotion.”“Depends on the promotion, I’d say. What type of work do you do?”I sipped my water and glanced at my phone. Still no new messages. “I work for the same marketing company as Mindy. I’m a coordinator now, so I’ll oversee a team to make ad
Mack“I guess they’ve already got company,” Cody shrugged, taking a drink.I ground my teeth, clenching my beer bottle with both hands. Who the fuck was that guy? Kelsey only said her and Mindy would be here with some of Mindy’s friends from back home, but she’d insinuated they were all women, referring to their trip as a ‘girls weekend’.“Hey, are you okay?” Cody asked, moving his head to block my view of Kelsey and the asshole who was sitting way too fucking close to her.“I’m fine,” I snapped, straightening in my seat.Cody’s lips twitched. “Shall we go talk to them?”“No,” I snapped, finishing the last swig of my beer. “She’s my employee, not my girlfriend, she can do whatever she wants.”“What’s that have to do with us saying hello?” He began to stand, but I gripped his wrist and pulled him back in h
