“Word of advice, don’t forget her ice-cream. I think it is close to being that time of the month for her,” Chase said, moving towards his own car.

“Don’t you think it is creepy you know when her woman time is?” Mitch asked.

“Nope, I call it being prepared.”

Mitch frowned. “Being prepared for what?”

“The foul mood, the temper, and her increased hunger. I see the signs and accept it. You, on the other hand, are always in the dog house.”

He gave Chase the finger then climbed in his car. Lucy wasn’t a bad boss to work for. She demanded excellence, and she knew how good they were. Mitch made it into work as she was seating everyone around the office table. He didn’t recognise anyone.

“I’ll need you in fifteen, Mitch,” Lucy said.

“I’ll be ready.” He smiled at the older woman then went back behind his desk. At twenty-five he knew he shouldn’t be feeling trapped. He did, though, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Mitch watched a couple of his colleagues walking into the office. They were all top security specialists, and several of them were older than he.

“Hey, Mitch, how is it going?” David asked.

“Okay. I’ve got to give some talk about our latest security equipment. I don’t know why she doesn’t pick someone else.”

“You’re the pretty boy. Young, ambitious, and clients like that,” Liam said. Liam was one of the older workers.

The construction business had been hit by the economic crisis. There were not a lot of jobs for brick-layers or construction workers. Mitch and Chase had excelled in engineering and computers. Their security was tight, and he was thankful for the work. He just wished the markets were better so they could start up their own business.

“How was Leah’s date last night?” John asked.

“How did you know about that?”

“Chase was cursing all over the place when he got back from a job. Some bloke by the name of Guy,” Liam said.

“Not good. She didn’t look happy when she got home last night.”

“I like Leah. She’s a good woman,” Liam said. “She reminds me a little of my wife, Sandra.”

Mitch smiled at him. Sandra was a lovely woman and brought Liam his lunch whenever he forgot. Mitch looked down at his own prepared lunch, and his heart was once again filled with yearning. He was unhappy with his job and his future with Leah. Being friends was not what he wanted to be in the next five years. He wanted her to be his woman and Chase’s. The more he thought about sharing her, the more he liked it.

Lucy called him through to give his speech. He talked about the latest equipment and how each unit suited individual needs. By the time the meeting was finished, Lucy had several more clients, and he had more houses and businesses to install.

Chase made visits to the office throughout the day, grabbing supplies and filling in paperwork. Neither got chance to talk about that morning. Mitch sat outside eating his lunch on one of the tables provided for the staff. Mitch watched the people going by as he ate the delicious food.

He played the morning over inside his head, seeing her pale, creamy skin exposed for him and Chase to look at.

Her red nipples had been visible against the white lace of her bra. Mitch had reached out several times ready to pull the bra from her body. The glimpse he’d gotten of her tit that morning was not enough to keep him sane. He finished his lunch, then got back to work.

When the day was over, he made his way to the grocery store. He wouldn’t forget her ice-cream if it was nearing her time of the month.

Chase found it hard to concentrate at work. All he saw was Leah’s naked breast in his mind. It was like an obsessive picture playing over and over. He had to rewire several systems before he’d finished. After apologising to each client for the time he took, he made his way back to the office to complete the day’s paper.

Mitch had already left. Several of the men were still lingering about. He finished and left the office with enough time to spare to pick Leah up. With the rise in crime in the area, he didn’t want her walking the streets alone.

He pulled up outside of her office building as she was coming out of the doors. She was alone, and the women who’d exited with her stood off to the side. Some of them were sniggering at Leah. His defensiveness went through the roof. She hadn’t seen him yet.

Chase climbed out of the car and walked over to her.

“Hey, baby,” he said, pulling her close.
