But Ethan…
"Ethan, look out!" I warned as he picked up a file; the cup on it fell and spilled its contents.
"Shit!" he cursed and used the towel to dab the liquid.
I shook my head negatively. After a month of working with him, I had become used to his clumsiness. At first, it was annoying, but later on, it made him endearing. There was just this urge to look out for him.
"Oh yeah, I got this for you," he said as he picked up a box and handed it to me. "As a reward for looking out for me."
"Why?" I asked as I accepted the box and opened it; it was an assortment of chocolate treats.
"I know I'm not the best boss out there. To be honest, you'd rather work with Ben, or Ian compared to me," he explained. "I'm grateful that you have to put up with me. A lot of my staff have almost given up on me and previous assistants have quit. But you're still here. So, I'm grateful."
"Thank you, I…"
"Also," he cut me off as he raised a finger and placed it on my chin with a mischievous grin. "You're very fun to tease and flirt with. Considering how nothing I'm doing seems to work."
I stared down at his body and he did the same to mine.
"Well, not everything," he said with a smile.
I moved my head back and put his finger in my mouth and bit down, but not hard enough to hurt him. His eyes switched from confusion to excitement. I don't know why I was doing what I was doing, but it didn't stop me.
All this time, his flirting was just annoying. But his persistence and the way he didn't relent trying to get me to bend to his desires started to have an effect. Couple that with his half-naked form, and it got the outcome he had been waiting for this whole time.
He moved his finger into my mouth properly ,and I started to suck on it gently. My hands pressed down on the box he had handed to me. The thickness of his finger made me wonder how it would feel if he happened to use it on a certain part of my body. I pulled back and let his finger out of my mouth.
He stared at his finger and back at me.
"That's…that's the only repayment I can think of for the chocolate," I said.
"I'll get you more chocolates," he said instantly.
"No," I smirked, "and put on your shirt."
"Fine," he sighed and picked up his new scrubs and put them on.
I took a piece of the chocolate and ate it. Best chocolate I had tasted all year.
That's how Ethan was. He could be clumsy, and a bit of a sneak, but he was sweet and a good leader. And…his body.
But I was scared. There were rumors about him being a playboy, but I had hardly seen any of that. He was so focused on his role as a doctor or his ability to see how much of his clumsiness I could take until I snapped. I thought that the same thing that happened with my ex would happen again. I would be skeptical at first, give in, and then cheat on me and disappear.
Ethan wouldn't do that, right?
What if all this is just really flirting? Is this his process? Could I be just another prey that took longer to catch?
"You don't like chocolate?" he asked. "You've been…looking away."
"No, I love them," I replied.
"What's the matter then?" he asked.
Are you serious about me?There was no way I was going to ask him that.
"I just wanted to know the progress of the stakeholders; we can't risk any mistakes," I answered.
The look in his eyes told me he knew that I had deviated from what I had in mind.
