The Older Lover
"You little minx. I never thought, that is, I
hoped..." He shivered, and Lizzie felt it travel through her own body.
"It's ok! I just want to show you that you don't
have anything to be sad about. All being older means is you know a lot more fun
things, right? Show me."
Lizzie felt a thrill of delight as she saw
the effect her words had on him. When he grabbed her wrist and dragged her to
his office she knew right then and there her panties would be ruined.
Harold's office contained muted designs,
dominated by a solid antique mahogany desk that acted as the centerpiece and
paid proper tribute to his British heritage. Carved from a single, massive
piece of wood, it spoke of class and stability.
Only the desk's sheer weight kept it from
skidding across the expensive carpet as Lizzie fell backwards across the top,
knocking memos and faxes to the floor. Lizzie's denim skirt was hiked up around
her waist, her jacket was crumpled by a potted plant and her blouse was
unbuttoned to the waist.
Harold leaned over her with a congenial
expression, as if he was looking over fourth quarter figures instead of
contemplating ways to make her beg for mercy.
Lizzie went to pull him down for another one
of those scathingly hot kisses when the phone rang.
They both froze: Lizzie in fear, Harold in
mild surprise. The phone rang once more before Harold leaned closer to Lizzie's
face, his warm spearmint breath tickling the hair by her ear.
"Aren't you going to get that?"
The End
