9. Triggered

I froze for a moment because that was completely unexpected. I couldn't help but feel attacked and ashamed. I have never felt like what my husband and I do behind closed doors was shameful! Until now...Suddenly Donna steps in front of me and says, "Listen, lady! We didn't ask for your opinion; quite frankly, you are in the wrong! You were eavesdropping on a conversation that was not meant for you! For all, you know...You took things out of context!"

I began to sob into my hands softly behind Donna but she didn't notice. Who did notice was Bo. He stood close enough to hear everything and was waiting to see if Donna could handle the situation. But, as soon as he saw me crying...He stepped in. "Ma'am. Please come with me." Bo said in a serious tone. When the woman turned around to see who was talking, she gasped. "Master Bo! I didn't know that you were still here. I apologize if we got loud and disturbed you. I am just setting these young kids straight." The old woman said.

Bo then took a step back and pointed toward my office. At this point, I looked up at him with puffy eyes full of tears. I could see the anger in his eyes mixed with sadness before he said, "We can continue our conversation in my wife's office." The woman looked at him all confused because she didn't know that Master Bo was married. Technically we aren't but he treats me as if we are. "Master Bo? Do you have a wife? I was not invited to the ceremony." The woman said as she began to walk toward my office.

Donna then turned around and saw my eyes before she hugged me. "Don't listen to that woman! She is old school and doesn't understand that there are many ways to live your life now." Don said. I pulled away before I wiped my tears and said, "I know this. But for some reason, she got to me. She triggered something in me that I didn't even know was there." Donna looked at me with a concerned look on her face before she said, "I read your file. I know you were raised religious and that when you came out to your parents they disowned you."

I nodded in agreement before Don continued by saying, "That woman probably triggered old guilt or shame put in the back of your mind by your parent's beliefs. If you are truly happy with Master Bo, then I don't see why you should let someone who doesn't love you or knows you make you this upset about the life you two live." I looked down at my feet and put my hands inside my pant pockets while I took in a deep breath and let it out. 

"Don, I fully agree with you. Suppose that woman had said that to you for being a lesbian, I would be giving you this same speech right now. I get what you are saying and they are my beliefs too. But I can't help how I feel now. I just need time to process it and let it go. That's all." I said. Donna nodded in agreement before saying, "I get it. It's almost like finding a corner of your house that you failed to clean for a month and it's filthy. You have to go through the extra work just to clean it for good."

I began to laugh. Something about her country-style response tickled me. I laughed so hard that Donna joined in with me. We fell to the ground from how hard we were both laughing. Once our stomachs and cheeks hurt, Donna helped me up and said, "Come on. Let's go celebrate your win today! You deserve it." I nodded in agreement before I fixed my outfit and said, "Let me just text Bo before I go. He may want to see your handy work." Donna agreed.

While writing my text, I heard my office door suddenly open from down the hall. We both looked up and saw the woman from earlier walk out. She looked upset and in a hurry to get away from Bo, who was now standing at my office entrance. I put away my phone and began to walk toward him as he began to walk toward me. I asked, "What happened?" We reach each other in front of my assistant's desk before he says, "Don't worry about her. She is set in her old ways and needs a reminder of her place." 

I didn't quite like what he said but before I could respond he asked, "You ready?" I knew he could tell I was not happy and that I wanted more information but I also knew that we had employees already waiting for us at the restaurant. I just nodded and smiled a forced smile before nodding at Don. We both walked toward the elevator in silence. You could feel the awkwardness in the silence. 

I could tell he was still angry and now, so was I. But, my anger was not for the same reason. He's keeping something from me and I don't like when people aren't transparent with me. The whole way to the restaurant, we remained silent. As Don drove I could tell she was uncomfortable. Once at the restaurant, Bo got out of the front seat and opened my door. I got out and he whispered, "Follow me."

I looked at him a bit confused but then turned toward Don and said, "After you park, please tell everyone that we will be with them soon." Don nodded and Bo closed the car door behind me. He then grabbed my hand and walked me straight into the bar next door to the restaurant. He waved at the bartender as Bo ushered me toward the back of the establishment. 

We walked into what looked like a break room and a private office. He closes the door behind me and says, "That woman made you cry and I almost lost it! I would have fired her if it wasn't for the fact that she is a family friend." He got closer to me before hugging me and kissing my neck. "Bo, what's going on? Why did you bring me here?" I asked. He pulled away from me just enough to see the desire in his eyes. I knew at that moment that he was uneasy about something.

One thing I have learned about Bo is that he uses touch and sex as a way to reassure him that we're okay. That all is well. I smiled and hugged him before I said, "I am fine. I promise." I pulled back and looked into his eyes before saying, "I would love to...well...uhh...our people have been waiting a long time already. Also, when you get started...well...it's never just a quicky." He laughs at my apparent discomfort with the topic. 

He hugs me tight and I can feel that he is hard and poking through his pants before he says, "Two minutes. I promise." I chuckled because he meant more than ten minutes. "MMhhmmm" I agreed. He kissed me and pushed me up against the wall by the door. I hear him lock the door before he unbuttons my pants. I could tell he was desperate as he pushed down my briefs and by the way he sucked on my lips. He grabs my ass before he asks, "Do you..." I knew exactly what he was asking for and before he finished his question I had already given him the small lube bottle I always carry with me.

He smiled, pulled up one of my legs and within seconds he was inside me. We both moaned softly as our lips were close enough to kiss. He picked up both of my legs allowing him to push himself deeper inside me before my eyes rolled back from pleasure.  His breathing was erratic and I could tell he was desperate. He kissed me gently before he began his soft and gentle rhythm inside me. I could hear him desperately trying to hold himself back in my ear and just the thought of him struggling to hold back made me reach a climax I don't usually reach this quickly!

Once he knew I had climaxed, his speed changed. His rhythm was now faster and harder which caused me to hold on to him harder. I could hear him breathing harder now and it was driving me crazy! I had to cover my mouth to prevent the loud moans he was responsible for. After a few minutes, he finally released inside me and I could feel his body stop being tense. He leaned his head on my shoulder to catch his breath. It took him about a minute before he slowly pulled himself out of me.

He carried me to the desk and sat me down. I looked down and saw our mess was now running down my legs. "Don't worry. I will clean you up." He said as he was now buckling his belt. He opened a locker next to the desk and pulled out a towel. He squatted in front of me before wiping my legs and making his way up to my belly. "I can at least be grateful that I came under my shirt and not over it," I said as I chuckled. He smiled as he was now standing up and looking down at me. 

He picked up my shirt to continue wiping me off. "Are you sure you don't want to go home?" He asked in a sheepish tone. I smiled softly before hugging him and into his chest I said, "We must support our team. They did an amazing job." He let out a sigh before throwing the towel into a waste basket. He then helps me off of the desk and helps me get dressed. I watched him intently. I could tell he was not happy still and by the tightness in his pants, I could tell he was still somewhat hard. "If you behave, you can do that thing to me tonight that I have been denying for the past few weeks..." I whispered into his ear as he was bent over pulling my pants up. 

He let go of my pants right as I grabbed them and looked a bit shocked but also had a mischievous smile! I chuckled and finished getting dressed. He watched me and didn't say anything. "Let's go. I don't want to keep our staff waiting any longer." I said as I looked up at him. He nodded in agreement and grabbed my waist before saying, "Are you sure about this?" I smiled and nodded. He smiled a mischievous smile again before saying, "Okay...I hope it's worth it." I chuckled before he slapped my ass.

We hug and he kisses my forehead. He then grabs my hand before leaving the office. We quickly made our way into the restaurant next door and the first person we see is my project manager standing up before saying, "There they are! Finally!" I smiled and noticed that the employees looked like they had already begun celebrations! I was about to respond when I realized that Bo's hand had gotten stiff. I looked at Bo and noticed he looked like he saw a ghost!

I followed his gaze and saw a group of people talking to each other at the end of the table. At that moment, a tall thin man wearing a fur coat separates himself from the group and begins to walk over toward us.  This man was so beautiful! He looked like he belonged in a magazine! He stopped directly in front of Bo and said, "Hello handsome. Miss me?" He tried to lean in for a kiss but Bo stepped back. My heart began to race! Before I knew it, I had stepped in front of Bo. The thin man looked down at me and gave me a look of disgust before I asked, "And who are you?"

The thin man chuckled and ignored me completely before looking back up at Bo behind me saying, "You mean, you haven't told him that you're engaged?!"
