What followed was hot, heavy, and touched him far more than it should. She was right there with him every step of the way.
He tasted all of her. Skimming his lips down her body, making her moan and sigh. Ted lowered her panties down her legs and then she lay back on his desk.
“I’ll never look at this desk the same again,” he rasped. She was a luscious feast spread before him, every inch his to savor. Lowering his head he licked the soft dewy folds between her legs. Her body twitched, so he did it again and again. Grazing his teeth over the hard bud, he thrust two fingers inside, and she came in a shuddering release.
Managing to get a condom out of his wallet, he sheathed himself and then slid home, taking her with him to another release, her skirts around her waist and his pants around his ankles.
“Mandy.” He held her against him as his heart tried to settle back into its normal rhythm. His hand was on her back, the other on her head, holding her close. So close, because he didn’t want to let her go.
She stirred in his arms, and he eased back to get a look at her. Hair a mess, her lips rosy from his kisses, and she looked sated, like a woman who had been thoroughly loved.
Whoa, loved?He pushed the thought aside.
“That was nice,” she said slowly.
“It was,” Ted agreed, easing back some more. He then tidied her dress before heading to the bathroom. When he came back, it was to find her gone.
He left his office at a run and caught up with her as she reached her car.
“So, what? Thanks for the fuck, Ted, now I’m off?” Rage was the only term he could come up with for what he was feeling.
She wouldn’t look at him, instead opening the door.
“Damn you, talk to me!”
She faced him, and he saw the tears in her eyes.
“Mandy….” Her name was wrenched from him. “Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?”
“You didn’t hurt me.” The finger that touched his cheek trembled. “What do you want from me, Ted?”
He didn’t know himself, so how the hell was he going to tell her?
“Love? Marriage? Sex occasionally? Are we going to date?”
“Mandy….” His words fell away. Jammed in his throat, he couldn’t speak them.
“Let me make this easy for you, so going forward we’re clear, okay.” She took a deep breath before continuing, her hand now at her side. “I’ve only slept with one person, you, twice. I’ve never had a relationship or even dated. This, you and me, is not going to work because I think you could really hurt me if you’re not serious… which your silence tells me you’re not.”
“It’s not—”
“Do not say ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ to me, Ted. Just acknowledge my words, and let’s leave it at that. What happened between us was great, but it can’t happen again unless you are willing to commit to more. I want more. I want to date and go to movies and do things other couples do. I don’t think you can give me that.”
Great? It was fucking amazing!
“Can you?”
“Can you what?” Ted played for time.
“Don’t insult me, you know what.”
“I don’t know.”
Her smile was sad.
“Which tells me what I need to know. So thanks, Ted, you’ve been an amazing friend and taught me so much, but it has to stop here. So when we see each other now it’s a smile, a wave, and we pretend like we always do that nothing has happened between us. No more kisses or touches. From now on, please keep your distance from me.”
She leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
