“I think I need to rearrange a few things in here before they come so I can adjust the flow of the office.”
“Let me help you. We’ll do it in no time.”
She nodded, and together we moved filing cabinets and plants until Rena was happy. When she stood back and looked at the office again, she nodded, satisfied. “Much better,” she said. “What do you think?”
“I don’t know,” I admitted. I had no idea what the desk she’d ordered looked like, and I wasn’t the type of person to visualize things like offices when I was more goal driven and logical. I liked how we complemented each other.
Of course we complemented each other, I scolded myself again. I’d looked for someone who had been able to help me out with what I needed in the office, and I’d hired a woman who had those qualities. It had been Rena.
It hadn’t been love at first sight or anything like that; it had been a logical decision following an interview process.
I glanced at Rena, who stood patiently waiting for the desk to be brought upstairs. So much had happened since I’d hired her. Maybe it was more now than just logic.
“Here they are,” Rena said when the men finally rounded the corner with her desk. We watched as they wrestled the desk through the narrow office door, making something fit that should never have been able to go through. They worked their magic. I’d thought we should take the desk apart and reassemble it in the office when I’d seen it, but I’d been wrong.
“What do you think?” Rena asked as we watched the men struggle with the desk for a while.
“I think you chose well,” I said. I had to admit she had made a good choice. I would have liked for her to spend more of my money, but the desk she’d chosen was neat and sleek but sensible, too. And it wasn’t too large. Thank God for that.
Rena stood close to me while she watched them maneuver the desk around the office, and I felt the heat radiating off her skin. Desire hit me like a truck. I had missed Rena. It’d been a full week where we hadn’t been together the way we’d always been, working in adjacent offices. Having been so intimate in Boston, the divide seemed even worse than it would have been otherwise. Rena was still right here, in the office, doing what she needed to do and finding me to ask her questions, but it wasn’t the same. She was distant, and we were so far away from each other I felt it like a physical ache.
I looked her up and down again. She wore dress pants with a blouse and low heels. She looked professional and sexy. It didn’t matter what she wore, she would always look sexy. She was the kind of person that oozed sexuality, but it was subtle, and it made her magnetic in a way I hadn’t experienced before. I just couldn’t stay away from Rena.
I didn’t want to.
The guys finally had the desk in where it belonged. They walked to Rena with a clipboard, but she suggested they hand it to me, seeing as I was the one who’d paid. I took it and signed off on the desk while Rena checked that it hadn’t been damaged at all. When she was happy, the delivery men left, and it was just the two of us in the office.
The desk was clean and empty. I wanted to lay Rena out on it, undress her, and climb on top of her on the desk. I wanted to christen it. It took a hell of a lot of self-control not to do something drastic. Rena’s office had two glass walls, and it was located where the open offices could all see us. I would have to order blinds for her windows, in case she needed some privacy, I thought.
Even if the privacy was only for a meeting and not to fuck her boss.
Rena started putting her things back on the desk, arranging them neatly.
“Here, let me help,” I said.
We worked together in silence. I unpacked the box I had packed for her, putting her frames the way I had found them. Rena filed most of her documents away in order. When the box was empty, I tucked one hand in my pocket.
“Are you pleased?” I asked.
Rena turned around and looked surprised. “I am,” she said. “And it flows much better now, don’t you think?”
I had to agree. She had envisioned something, and it had come to life perfectly. I watched Rena as she moved around her office. She was beautiful. I wanted to see her again. I wanted to get her alone.
