be with.
It felt invigorating.
“It’s all too easy to get drawn into it with him,” she said “And when you are in there with him, he lets go. You are left devastated. I’ve seen it happen.”
I nodded and pretended to heed her warning, but it kind of pissed me off. I was fairly certain her jealousy was coming into play here. As she spoke with me, I could see a few other women looking at me as they walked past. They smiled and nodded, but they were not as enthusiastic with me as when I first started. Was it my imagination, or could people tell I was getting very close to Tony? Was Barb spreading rumors based on her own suspicions? And did I really give a shit anyway?
I laughed it off and went back to work. I was just getting right into some new notes for a presentation I was going to do for the team tomorrow when I got a message on the office Instant Messenger to come to Tony’s office.
I wondered what was going on. Was I in trouble for something? Maybe I’d been bad, and he’d have to teach me a lesson… Oh, maybe he would do it right then and there. We hadn’t had sex in his office yet…oh, that could be so damn fun.
When I arrived at Tony’s office, he was sitting behind his desk having a drink. It was late afternoon, so I guessed he was entitled. Not that Tony gave a damn about convention anyway.
Just the sight of him was enough to make me wet as could be. My knees were a bit weak, but I held myself together and tried to act natural. I didn’t want him to think that I had no self-control. We were at work after all.
“Hey, honey,” Tony said.
“Hey,” I replied as I sat down in one of the comfortable chairs across from him.
“I know you’re busy, so I won’t keep you,” he said. “How well do you like Mexican food?”
“What?” I did not expect him to call me from my desk to ask my taste in Mexican food.
“Yeah, Mexican. Yay or nay?”
“Um, yay. I love it. Why?”
“I was hoping you would do me the honor of having dinner with me tomorrow night as Los Agaves. Have you been? It’s a fine Mexican restaurant. Very swank and fancy, beautiful mariachi music with real musicians, a great area for dancing, and the service is outstanding. My friend Luis is the chef there. The guy is an artist. He will make a fajita that tastes so good, it is just so orgasmic in your mouth.”
I smiled. He knew where my head was at. “That sounds good,” I replied.
“Fantastic,” he said. “Alright, so tomorrow at six? I’ll pick you up and we will make a great night of it. I was thinking after dinner we could take in a show. Dane and Thames are in town.”
“What is Dane and Thames.”
He appeared shocked. “Wow, you have to get out more. Dane and Thames are two of the most amazing magicians in the world. They also do extreme stunts like sword swallowing, fire swallowing, glass swallowing—basically they swallow a lot of awful shit. It’s very entertaining.”
I laughed. “Ok. That sounds great.”
“That’s all I needed,” he said.
I got up to leave his office. I glanced back as I reached for the door and Tony was watching me with a sexy smile on his face.
I couldn’t wait until work was over.

Tony
“Pull!”
I watched the disc fly up into the air and I tracked it quickly in my sights. I took a deep breath and squeezed the trigger. The rifle fired and the disk smashed in half as I hit it dead on. I loved that feeling. It was an adrenaline rush like no other.
“Whoo! Man, that is five in a row for you,” Quinton said.
I smiled at my work. I sat the rifle down and grabbed another beer from the cooler. I enjoyed these lazy days off. Weekends were usually filled with work, too, but today Quinton and I decided that we would just not worry about it. Time to drink some beer and shoot some discs. Skeet shooting had been something I’d done since I was nine years old. One of the few memories I had of hanging out with my dad was the once-a-month thing when I could drag him out to the field, and we would shoot clays for a while.
“Yeah, I’m on fire today,” I said.
“I got to tell you man, this
