“I know you gave your reasons but I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that you put something on me. You could have simply pulled the duvet over me” Kathlyn said in a harsh whisper. Her voice came out harsher than she intended but she could not find it in her to regret her words. She had been trying to get a shut eye but sleep was not coming forth. Each time she closed her eyes, the image of Adam putting his short on her flashed through her eyes. It unnerved her. The thought of him seeing her bare legs without her consent ran through her head all evening. Adam had not slept either. The sound of his breathing was not leveled. He had moved five times in the last five minutes too so she was certain he was not sleeping. She turned her head slightly to the side when she heard no response from him. She pressed her lips in a thin line and tapped her feet lightly on the bed. “I know you are not sleeping, Adam” She sighs. She pushed herself up and placed her back on the headboard while staring at him. She watched the rhythmic rise and fall of his shoulders in the dim night light and she was tempted to think that she was mistaken. “I thought we closed that topic” He replied startling her. She placed her hand on her chest and glowered at his back. “No, we are not.” “Get some sleep, Kathlyn. We have a meeting at 8am tomorrow” He said dismissively. “Well, I don’t feel sleepy. Look, I’m not looking for a fight. I’m just curious. It is unsettling to think about.” “Then don’t think about it” He responded coolly. She huffed. “I can’t help it. The thought of you putting your hands on my legs…” “Would you prefer me to put them elsewhere?” Silence. He listened as she rasped causing his lips to break into a smile. He knew what she wanted to know but he was not ready to give her such response. He was not ready to tell her about the desire burning inside of him at the thought of lying in the same bed with her. She had no idea the level of restraint he had to maintain to prevent himself from touching her inappropriately that evening. He felt like an animal, a dog precisely, needing to be contained in the presence of a female. It was both embarrassing and fascinating. It was also surprising how within such a short time, he was slowly losing himself to someone. “p*****t” She hissed. She pulled the covers over her and went underneath. She turned her back to him and shut her eyes while struggling to arch her back in a comfortable position. She drifted off to sleep after a few minutes of mumbling and cursing under her breath. Adam tilted his head to the side to stare at her but his eyes caught her exposed back. The duvet had certainly fallen more to the other side from all her tossing. He felt a stir in his southern region making him curse under his breath. He licked his upper lip and shut his eyes. These days, his thoughts managed to find their way to Kathlyn. Since the night at the club, his mind had managed to be occupied with thoughts of her. Usually, things like these were disconcerting to him but he could not find it in him to feel restless. The only problem he has was having to stay away from her. He was attracted to her – that was one thing he could not deny anymore. Still, he could not let her see that. She was an employee and he was afraid that making any advances towards her would affect their working relationship. He did not want that. He would suppress any feelings he had towards her. He needed to. Dawn crawled in late or maybe Kathlyn slept in late. Adam was fully dressed when she woke up. She looked at the bedside clock and bolted out of the bed when she realized that she had only thirty minutes left to get ready. She brushed past Adam who was straightening his suit jacket in front of the mirror and sauntered into the bathroom. “Why did you not wake me up?” She hissed. She turned on the faucet, stripped out of her clothes and began scrubbing as quickly as she could. She skipped her usual morning routine of shaving stray hairs from her legs and hurried back into the room. She realized a little too late that she did not have anything wrapped around her body and she was standing stark naked in the middle of the room with Adam Smith. “You have ten minutes to get ready” Adam said walking to his suitcase and pulling out a file. He had not noticed her situation and she hoped he would not. She looked around the room, a wreck of nerves and clammy palms. He was standing close to her bag so there was no way she would get close to him without him turning. What would she do? She contemplated taking the duvet and wrapping it around her body but that would mean calling too much attention to herself. “Ten? That’s too early” She whined in a bid to distract him as she was afraid that if she gave no response, he would turn around. “We have to be at the office ten minutes early. It is five minutes drive away from here.” Her shoulders slumped and she stared at him through her peripheral. He dropped the file and made to turn around but stopped when his big toe slapped against the hard wooden table. “s**t” He cursed bending down and staring at the toe. Kathlyn bit the inside of her cheeks and bounced on her feet impatiently. “Is something the matter?” She queried impatiently. Adam stood up and shook his head. “Nothing serious. Ju…” He trailed off as he slowly turned around to stay at her. The words got stuck in his throat when his eyes caught hers. Kathlyn’s eyes widened and her heart dropped at the contact. Adam let his eyes stray down the length of her body, feeling his blood rage hot and his temperature rise with each breath he took. His eyes stopped at her firm, perky breaths and he swallowed. Kathlyn watched as his Adam’s apple bopped up and down causing tingles to travel from the tip of her fingers to the rest of her body. She had no idea why she felt this way. She should be scampering around the room, searching for something to cover her slim body. Instead, she stood there with her eyes focused on Adam. His grey eyes darkened as he focused on the parting between her legs. His fists clenched and unclenched at the agony he was going through. He wanted to touch Kathlyn. He wanted to feel her body with the tip of his fingers. He wanted to hear her moan his name over and over while he thrust deeply into her, bringing her all the pleasures she had never imagined in her wildest dreams. But, she had to want it first. She had to run into his arms, screaming and begging him to touch her and feel her with his fingers. The thought pulled him out of his thoughts. He shook his head vigorously to clear it of such thought and sharply turned around, away from Kathlyn. She snapped back to her senses and hurried to the bed. She grabbed one of the covers and wrapped it over her body with her back turned to him. Her cheeks flushed from embarrassment and she bit the inside of her cheeks and raked a finger through her wet hair. Adam cleared his throat after a few minutes of silence and took deep, calming breaths to calm his raging thoughts. “I… I will be in the lobby” Adam informed. He picked the file which he dropped earlier and walked out of the room without turning to look at her. Kathlyn’s face was still red with embarrassment at the moment they just shared. She could not fathom what it was but she felt something and it was neither anger nor resentment for her boss. Probably because she knew it wasn’t his fault? She pulled out the blue dress she set aside for today and made her way into it. After making sure she was satisfied with her look, she made her way out of the room, locking the door behind her.
