The Boss's Ex Husband

He was just her type. Tall, strong, built like a race horse, all muscles, smelling heavenly, lean and with the most beautiful green eyes. What was that smell? Oh my she could smell him over everything. Like honey drawing in a bee. Those eyes, they infected her. But as the ex husband of the Boss, Stephen would be off limits. But the way he looked at her was intriguing. Work was Melissa's focus, not some man who walked in and made her warm in places she shouldn't think about at work. She had just graduated with a couple of engineering degrees. She was not one who was ready for any relationship. Especially with someone like him. Her boss, Ms Miller was actually a friend, if you could call them that. She had worked at that shop since her 2nd yr in college. Melissa was good as what she did. Ms Miller was definitely coming up in the electric industry. Somewhat because they worked well together. She worked hard, understood people, and deadlines. People liked working for Melissa. Before Melissa came along Ms Miller went through employees like she went through her bottles of stoli's vodka. When Melissa told her what she was going to specialize in, well, it could not have been a better fit. Her days were never the same. There was always different people walking through the shop. Many men, a few women, mostly CEOs or VPs of companys wanting them to do their prototypes. Always a new job coming in the door, and 100s a week going out. Melissa did most of the chemical procedures herself and left the PC boards, wiring and other jobs to people who worked under her. But she did it all. She was an expert at soldering, welding and wiring, everything in that shop was under her control and she loved going to work everyday. It was odd for her to look at someone other than just another job. As they were introduced he stared at her like he looked through her. She just can't get him out of her mind. Even though they had left the shop hours ago, she still saw those eyes, and the lingering incredible smell. It was almost the end of the day. She had gotten her 20 different jobs put through shipping to be moved out. She was ahead of the game today. And she wouldn't have to stay over to get things finished, that often happened. When you are salaried you're the one working over she would often say. Today it was 5 min for the shift to end. She walked up front to the offices, only to find Ms Miller with John Kelly, the general manager, Dave and Mr Hot stuff himself, Stephen! Instantly she almost turned and blazed off. She went to ask John if anything else came in if she had to do any set up for Monday. That was the end of her day. John said to her, are you that interested in work? She smiled, and said yes! I'd like to get out of here today sometime. Of course everyone else was already gone except the front offices. John said, Hey we're all going out for dinner at that new place, Cajun I think are you coming? It did happen often, everyone in the office went to dinner and happy hour, somewhere before heading home. Her heart was pumping 100 miles an hour. Out of the mouth of Ms Miller came, Of course she's going! Who else is gonna watch my back! You men better watch out she's one of those girls that practices that crazy stuff, um martial arts, Muay Thai! That's it! I almost forgot the name. Melissa was stopped in her tracks. Oh no she did NOT say that! Not that it wasn't the truth but not what you want someone to know the 1st thing about you is that you can probably kick their ass. She was built like Barbie with toned mussel. Melissa swallowed hard and said, what's the hurry can't a girl get a drink 1st? Off to the bar in the bosses office she went. They often had a drink and discussed the day. As she made it to the bar, David walked up to the bar beside her. Although he was cute, 6"1' definitely worked out. Dirty blond, shoulder length hair, brown eyes and a voice like butter, not really her type. Of course he asked if she was going to fix drinks or if he'd have to make his own. She just gave him her polite glare and said "Why of course what kind of hosts would we be if we made you make your own drinks! " At this time he was looking at her like she was prime bib. Melissa just brushed him off. Asked him what drink he would like, made it, handed it to him. She heard a voice that my made her weak in the knees. Stephen spoke, Since your playing bartender, would you load me up a Jack on ice? She couldn't even answer, just poured the× whiskey over ice. Grabbed another glass and put about a double shot of Crown Royal in it, handed him his drink and proceeded to swallow half of her Crown Royal. He looked at his glass, then back at her. You always drink that? Came out of his mouth. She swallowed again. Before she could speak, Ms Miller looked at her and said, "She can handle her booze better than you Stephen". He fired back " Why do I seam to think there's a wild night in the air" Melissa turned and finished her drink, closed her eyes and did not want to think about what a wild night she wanted to show him! John said "Hey, your cars here Corrina", Ms Miller's 1st name. So they all stood up and headed to the front. Melissa said she was driving her truck as she didn't plan on partying with them half the night. At that point Dave said, you aren't riding in the limo with us? What will we do without our bartender? Ms Miller spoke up n said you sure My Melissa, we can always drop you back at your truck. To which she said" No, I would rather drive" And off they went She followed her bosses car down the block to the new restaurant/bar. As she parked her silver F150 they had already arrived at the new Churrascos. Stephen being the gentleman stepped over and opened her truck door for her. Which caught her off guard a bit. As she stepped out of the truck, he said to her, "Always a gentleman, unless you ask me not to be". Melissa almost couldn't take another step. As her brain caught up with her feet, they all started to head inside. The hostess didn't even ask how many just started walking us all to a huge corner table. She was trying not to get stuck in the inside, but the boy girl theme seamed to take over. Ms Miller between Dave n John, and She between Dave and Stephen. Oh she could definitely tell it's going to be hard to get out of here. They all ordered drinks. A few minutes later, arrived the waiter who took the order. Small talk roaming around. Melissa wasn't saying much, just nursing her double Crown. Dinners came and they ate, spoke mostly about work talk, John's new twins and the new marble fireplace her boss had shipped in from Italy. As they cleared the plates from the table another round of drinks showed up. Melissa tried to back out and say her good nights. Ms Miller asked her to walk to the ladies room with her. So off she went with Ms Miller. Once they get inside the ladies room. Ms Miller says to Melissa, " You know He is my EX husband" Melissa confused looked to her and spoke, " Why would that be of my interest?" Ms Miller said" I see how he looks at you. We are still friends, nothing more, so if you want to play footsie with him, I have no objections." Melissa looked at her with her eyebrows together and shook her head. "Just why would I be interested in that?" Ms Miller, " Why not? He's fun. handle my light work. Just watch out for the other crazed women he's been with.. How do you young people say it? Hit it and quit it! Haha. that's it! " at this point Melissa's thinking her boss might be a bit tipsy, but she didn't act it. As they make it back to the table, John had left. And Dave had ordered another round of drinks. By now, everyone's feeling a little happy. Stephen leaned over and whispered in Melissa's ear, "So what was that about. I know her pretty well, she's never asked anyone to go piss with her" as she turned her face to look at him, he was inches away from her. Her breath quickened, she didn't even know what to say. He was so close another half inch and his lips would be on her. She felt her insides squeeze. He knew he was affecting her. She pulled away and told them," I've got to get home. not sure I should drive. I think I've had more drink than food. Ms Miller said Have my car take you home, we'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to your truck. Tomorrow was Saturday so it wasn't any hurry. Dave and I will wait here, Stephen can go with you and make sure you get home ok. That really caused her to take a deep breath.. "it's ok', before she could even finish He had stood up and said of course I'll be sure she gets home with a huge grin on his face like he just won the lottery. As they slide into the Cadillac Limo, Stephen asks her where she lives. The driver, Jimmy turns back to Melissa over the privacy screen and says. Don't worry Mel, I've got you, you'll home in 20 to 25 minutes and I will be there to pick you at 10am. Will that be ok Miss? Melissa nods her head as the screen is raised and she gets comfy in her seat. Almost forgetting she wasn't alone. She'd actually had about enough of the evening. Too much Alcohol, too much tension right from mid day. Now he's in the car with her and heading towards her house. All she could say was please pour me another double Crown. His hand went to her thigh. She just looked down and put the cold glass that was left from her shooting that double on his hand. She slured at him"I hope you aren't trying to get lucky". Stephen gives her the most dangerously sexy smile and says" Perhaps" If you want some company for a bit I would certainly love to get to, with a skip in his voice, know you."
