She was seven months pregnant with our first child. The first of many, I hoped. We both wanted a big family. There was nothing riskier than usual about her pregnancy, but I still worried. If anything happened to her or the baby, I didn’t know what I’d do.
“You can press the elevator button,” Taylor joked as she led me to the elevator in the parking garage.
We’d moved to this new building when we signed a deal with a national chain of coworking suites. Veronica was now in place in office suites in almost every major city across the country. We’d also landed deals in Asia and Europe. The future was looking bright.
“Dr. Mahoney said thank you for the gift,” Taylor said, stepping back to look at me as we waited for the elevator. “She wants to meet with you about some upgrades to Veronica. After the holidays, of course.”
“Of course.” I nodded.
Dr. Mahoney signed on as a client not long after that first meeting. As promised, Veronica hadn’t displaced Taylor from her job. It did take some of the pressure off of her, though, as she moved into more of a billing and coding role.
She’d managed to overcome her test anxiety, with Dr. Maloney’s help, of course. My relaxation techniques proved not to be so scientific.
“Remember our first elevator ride together?” Taylor whispered as we stepped inside.
Why she was whispering was beyond me. We had the elevator to ourselves. Maybe she felt like it was more intimate. Funny, but as uninhibited as she could be behind closed doors, she was still very shy when it came to talking about sex.
“Our first kiss,” I said, shifting the box and leaning against the wall. “How could I forget it? Did I tell you I thought about hitting the stop button both before and after that other couple got in?”
“Why didn’t you?”
“Making love standing up is not the easiest thing,” I said. “I needed something to hold you while I had my way with you. The desk was the perfect location for our first time. I still get riled up thinking about it.”
She looked around self-consciously. Then she whispered, “We seem to do okay in the shower.”
“Good point,” he said. “But I had plans for you I didn’t quite make it to before… I wanted to set you on the desk and—” I lowered my voice to a whisper. “—lick you until you came. That would not have been easy to do in an elevator.”
She took a deep breath. “Careful. You’re getting me all hot and bothered before we have to face your entire team.”
Nothing could throw a bucket of ice water on my arousal like the mention of my team, especially considering they were waiting for us to arrive. If she weren’t pregnant and we didn’t have a Christmas party ahead of us, I definitely would take full advantage of her in the elevator.
“That was the best day of my life,” I said. Then I thought for a second. “Actually, the second best day.”
“What was the first?”
She looked a little concerned. Maybe she thought I wouldn’t say something having to do with her.
“Our wedding day,” I said. “The day I locked you in for life.”
“Who locked you in, though?” She tilted her head and gave me a teasing smile. “I think I’m the one who won the real prize here.”
I shook my head. “No way.”
The elevator slowed to a stop, then a ding signified the doors were about to open. Too late to hit the stop button.
Only as I followed her out did I realize this particular elevator didn’t have a stop button. I had to do something about that. We might need this elevator for a quick tryst someday in the not-too-distant future.
For now, though, we were free to have sex in every room of our condo. Until the baby was here, that was exactly what we were going to continue doing.
My team was waiting in the conference room, big smiles both for me and my wife. Yes, everything had come together perfectly—career, love, and now our family.
I was the luckiest man alive, and it was all thanks to this little invention I had to show off to Taylor’s boss. Without that, I might have never met her.
