A S I WALKED toward the restaurant, I was having second thoughts. Maybe this was a terrible idea. Maybe I would have been better off never seeing him again. Maybe I was in for the best sex of my life. And then I saw him. He was seated near the window, smiling up at a waiter who was placing two water glasses on the table in front of him. As I strolled toward the door, I took the shameless opportunity to stare at him. He wore a charcoal grey three piece suit, his crisp white button down accented by a sapphire striped tie, which was a little loose around his neck. His short chestnut hair was slightly disheveled and he already had the beginnings of a five o’ clock shadow. I knew how much time he spent in the gym, so I was certain under that three piece suit was sculpted muscle and raw sex appeal. He was smoking hot.
Austin used to be my boss but had moved to San Diego for the job of a lifetime about six months ago. The first time we met, our eyes locked across the room and we couldn’t look away, our attraction instant and powerful. We worked together for eight months before he left, and even though I struggled to keep my hands off him, I knew we couldn’t go there. I was his subordinate, he would lose his job if he touched me. One night, after a few too many happy hour cocktails, he flat out admitted he didn’t trust himself alone with me. I always regretted not making a move, but I walked away from him the night before he left without so much as a kiss. There was no way we’d ever be able to stop at just a kiss, and I knew I couldn’t sleep with him and keep my emotions in check. I’d end up hurt, and I didn’t want things to end badly between us.
When my boss called me into his office Friday morning and announced he wanted me to attend a leadership conference in San Diego, my first thought was of Austin. Maybe I’d get to see him. Maybe I would finally fuck him. Enough time had passed, now I could sleep with him without getting my feelings involved. I had one small problem though; I had a boyfriend.
I’d only been seeing Jamie for a couple of months, and the sex was amazing. We’d begun our relationship as friends with benefits, but our connection grew as we spent more time together. A week ago, we had The Talk, and both agreed we’d stop dating other people.
“I can still meet Austin for lunch though, right?” I asked my best friends Kate and Georgie the next morning at brunch.
“That depends. Are you going to be able to keep it to just lunch?” Kate asked.
“Of course I am. Jamie is incredible, and I don’t want to start this relationship off by being dishonest,” I told them, hoping I sounded more convincing than I felt. I knew I’d try very hard to behave myself, but Austin was fucking sexy, and I didn’t know if I’d be able to resist if he came on to me. Part of me wanted to be alone with him just to see what might happen.
“I think you should go for it,” Georgie said. “Austin was gorgeous, and yes, Jamie is great, but you guys just became exclusive. I think you should get a little grace period. Besides, it’s not like you’re going to be dating Austin, you’re just going to fuck him.”
“Stop,” Kate admonished, tossing her cloth napkin at Georgie, who tossed it at me. “Don’t encourage her. She’s already considering it, and she hasn’t even seen him yet.”
“I am not considering it,” I grinned, trying not to laugh as I chucked Kate’s napkin at her head.
“You are such a shitty liar. You totally are!” she laughed.
I couldn’t help but giggle along with her. “I wonder if he has a girlfriend,” I mused, eyeing Georgie with a wicked grin.
S O HERE I was, about to have lunch with Austin. After our brunch last weekend, Kate and Georgie helped me pick the perfect outfit. I wore a slim fitting cobalt blue dress that perfectly
