Amused, I tapped down her chin to shut it close, and she quickly corrected herself.
“What?”
“Before the last male secretary, I had even. She had just joined the firm. However…”
“However, what?” Hannah asked. “Why did she get transferred?”
“She came onto me,” I replied. “Sexually.”
She went still and stopped chewing altogether.
“One night, we were working late, and suddenly her buttons started coming loose. I finally noticed it and commented on it, and then she propositioned me. The next morning, I told Gloria to get her fired. She apologized profusely, and because of her legal experience, Gloria decided to send her to one of the other lawyers in real estate. I don’t even remember how she worked her way back up to being John’s secretary, but one day I noticed that she was, and I was strangely surprised. I didn’t even know she was still in the firm. Anyway, since there were no complaints from John’s side and Gloria seems to have no problem with her whatsoever, I just ignored her. There are very few interactions between us, and she hasn’t crossed the line again, so I just let it be.”
“Ah,” she replied, nodding her head as though the wheels in her brain were spinning and she was putting two and two together.
“Any viable conclusions?” I asked, and she turned to me.
“Call me crazy, but maybe she’s still attracted to you? Maybe she’s trying to find a way to become your secretary once again?”
This genuinely made me laugh out loud.
“Impossible,” I dismissed this ludicrous theory and returned to polishing off my plate.
“Do you want champagne?” I asked, and she nodded.
“Yes, please.”
I reached for the bottle then as well as two flutes and began to pour us both a decent amount.

My theory, I deeply believed, made complete sense; however, he didn’t seem able to fathom it. Still, as I watched him pour the golden bubbling liquid out of the bottle, I couldn’t help but consider that just maybe, just maybe, I was right. Afterward, he offered it to me, and I accepted it with a smile.
“If what you said is true,” I said and leaned even further into him, “a lot of my assumptions and suspicions would make sense.”
“Well, like I approach everything,” he said as he clinked his glass against mine, “pay attention and never dismiss any possibility. We might be right, but even if we are, I don’t see how it matters right now, so I didn’t think we should worry about it. If she was indeed trying to get you fired so she could be my secretary once again, then she is wasting her time and fighting the wrong enemy because you are absolutely not the one standing in the way of that delusion for her.”
“Right,” I nodded. “Right.”
Suddenly, he leaned forward then, and not knowing why, I turned up, and that was how his lips met mine. I had been dreaming about this all day long, but I had enjoyed my little gossip with him so much more that I had all but forgotten. I couldn’t help but smile into the soft, heated kiss.
After a few seconds we pulled apart, and my entire body prickled with excitement for him.
“This jet has a bed,” he informed me, and my eyes widened in surprise.
“Really?”
“Yeah,” he said, but I turned my face away and didn’t say anything more.
I wanted to tease him, I realized, and since he had more or less told me that I could be casual at times like this with him, then I didn’t hold back. I got up after finishing my meal and champagne, and then I began to wander. Just before I disappeared into the shut door I opened and confirmed it was indeed the bedroom he was referring to, I glanced at him and gave him a look.
I felt a little silly because it was sure to look silly, but I hadn’t specifically tried to do anything comical. I had simply made it intense, informing him for all intents and purposes and without actually saying the exact words, that I had found the bed and that he was invited.
There, I admired the gorgeous room as I began to strip. I left my thong on and took my bra off, and in no time, I was sprawled on the bed, kneading my boobs and touching myself.
There was a slight knock on the door, and I froze, hoping to God that it wasn’t the flight attendant because if it was, and they came in here to see me, I was sure that I would throw myself out of the plane. At this point, and even though the pleasure was rapidly building, I was almost certain that if he came in and found me so wantonly excited for him, I would be just as embarrassed.
