“Of course, I’m feeling it,” I snapped. “I’m the one that kissed you!”
He smirked at that, his lips bordering on red from our fervid making out. “You did. And while I appreciate that, I can tell you’re hesitant about something.” He cupped my face in his large hands, so warm and strong. “Tell me what’s bothering you. Is it the office setting? Am I kissing you too hard?”
I shook my head, trying to think of what to say. But for much as I had built up walls all my life, I had never been much of a liar. In such an uncomfortable situation, what was better than the truth?
“I, uh, I keep getting really nervous because I’ve never done this before.”
He leaned in, his thumb pressing against my lip and pulling the bottom one down ever so slightly. “I think I might be a bit alarmed if you made a habit of kissing your boss in their office.”
I shook my head, trying to find the words. But I didn’t really talk about that kind of stuff very often, so my normally quick wit was flagging quite a bit. “No, I mean any of it.”
His hand slowly glided up one of my legs that was still wrapped around his waist. I could feel him pressing into me, and by him, I mostly meant his erection. It felt far too large and it was distracting me more than I would like to admit. “All of it?” he murmured, his lips dipping towards my ear to whisper. “Do you mean an office romance? Or just that I’m older?”
“No, I mean…I mean, all of the above!”
He chuckled lightly which only made me feel that much more embarrassed. He still didn’t get it. He thought I was joking, or just worried because he was my employer. He didn’t get that I-
Suddenly his eyes widened, and he gave me an incredulous look. “Wait, by all of the above, you don’t mean…” He shook his head and laughed. “You’re making it sound like you’re a virgin.”
I swallowed harshly, looking up at him with wide eyes. I didn’t know what it was about my expression that convinced him, but it seemed to do the trick because he was suddenly stepping back and re-buttoning himself.
“You’re a virgin,” he repeated flatly, as if he wanted me to confirm.
I nodded slowly, feeling the worst. I had tricked him. I hadn’t meant to… but somehow, I couldn’t help but feel like I had. But I hadn’t planned any of it! I hadn’t even been looking for any sort of romance until he had suddenly kissed me, and my mind had gotten hooked on the elation he made me feel.
“I’m sorry…” I murmured, my heart aching.
He stepped forward once he was put together again, his hands coming up to either side of my face, his thumbs stoking my cheeks. “You have nothing to be sorry for. But I’m not going to have your first time bent over my desk like some sort of naughty secretary.” I watched his face color a bit at that. “Even if that’s pretty appealing.”
“Y-you don’t mind?”
He shrugged. “I want you. You want me. I’ll admit, I’m a bit surprised and I certainly wasn’t looking for the responsibility, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting you.”
My heart throbbed at the idea. I didn’t understand why he could want me so badly, but I was beginning to believe that he really was earnest in his affections. I didn’t think anyone could fake how he kissed me.
“I… I’m not sure I’m ready to lose my virginity yet.”
“That’s fair, although it’s surprising to me that you haven’t experimented at least a little. Are the people you went to college with blind, or just stupid?”
I blushed a bit. “There might have been people who were interested. I was just too busy.”
“Too busy for sex?” he repeated dubiously. “College is supposed to be the time where you have all the time for sex.”
“Well, I was busy trying to graduate early.”
“Right,” he pressed another kiss to me, this one much gentler. “Tell me, my little assistant, although you’re not sure if you’d like to go any farther physically, would you like to go on a date with me?”
“A date?” I parroted, sounding like an utter idiot.
But Mr. Fitzgerald just nodded, completely unjudging. I managed to nod slightly, and he chuckled.
“Alright then, Bev. What I need for you to do is go home and get ready to be taken out like a lady.”
Everything was going so fast and I had to wonder if the whole day was some sort of fever dream that I would wake up from with a wicked sleep hang over. But even with all of that going, I didn’t lose all of my sass.
“And what would a hardass of a boss like you know about treating someone like a lady.”
