My vision of a good bedroom romp evaporated. The party was obviously being held outside in the yard. My guy took me outside where we joined a gr...up near the garage. Some introductions were made to those I hadn’t met before. They all seemed to come from two other schools in the area or were connected through their sports teams. We drank and chatted while the music blared and others danced on the lawn. A guy would wander over every now and then and join in the circle. The girls. "Perhaps."We look at each other, and I can see something in his face that almost looks like envy."Now," I say. "Do you want to put a leash on our new Director of Information Technology?"Somehow I am not surprised that it doesn't take much to convince Benton to go along. With the last obstacle removed, I almost skip and whistle on the way to the bike. Nick's office is in the corporate headquarters, of course. He has installed some of his goons as minor team leaders in our building, but the man. Then Iwalked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me."Frack! Frack! Frack!" I repeated in a slightly loud whisper. "What thefrack is going on?"I walked past the stalls, peering under the door of each to make sure Iwas completely alone in the room. Then I went over to the sinks, droppedmy purse and backpack on the floor, and stared at the girl in themirror.Her face was flushed, from what I hoped was the panic attack I feltcoming on. Part of me doubted it. I shook my head and turned on. I turned, and was startled to find him standing right behind me, uncomfortably close. His eyes had a look in them that was a little scared, a little forlorn. "Adam?" I asked, concerned, and suddenly he leaned forward and kissed me.It completely took me by surprise, so much so that I didn't pull away. The kiss was urgent but chaste - his lips met mine, hard, but he did not open his mouth. He pulled away just as suddenly, stepping back, his hands coming up to his mouth as if in horror at what he.
