“Hi, cutie,” Dominic said standing up to kiss me on my cheek. He looked so sexy wearing cargo pants and a blue shirt that matched the color of his eyes. Several of the women in the restaurant had stopped to look. He really was that handsome now that I could see him in the light of day.

“Hi,” I said feeling suddenly shy around him now that we were seeing each other again after our impromptu sexual romp.

He noticed it and said, “Is there any way to make this anymore awkward for you?”

I had to laugh, “Let’s just get this out of the way. I really enjoyed your party, especially the after party...next to the pool.”

“And I enjoyed getting to know your body, thoroughly and I would like to get to know you and your body better.”

“I think that could be arranged,” We enjoyed banter that is more playful and then we started to discuss what I considered quintessential first date topics: career, family, likes and dislikes.

It turns out that Dominic was previously in the military and had started his own security company that catered to executives overseas and apparently, he enjoyed his work as his face lit up as he talked about it. It turned out that some of the people I had met the other night were not only his friends, but also his coworkers, as most of Dominic’s operations took place in the digital world.

He seemed very interested in my job and asked a lot of questions about my favorite collections and rarest finds.

I had no problem answering and felt myself opening up to him. He was a great listener and a natural conversationalist.

I was so engrossed in our conversation that I didn’t notice we had company until Dominic looked up and said, “Can I help you?”

I looked up as well and was surprised to see Maximus standing at our table. He was dressed impeccably in another three-piece suit. He looked slightly annoyed by Dominic’s presence, but showed no signs of jealousy. In fact, he outright ignored Dominic and instead spoke to me.

“I didn’t expect to see you here. Having a little lunch date with your friend?”

“She sure is. Is that a problem?” Dominic said, stopping me from answering.

“I was talking to Liza, not to you.” He said to Dominic coldly and then turned back to me.

“Are you not allowed to answer questions on your own anymore?”

Dominic started to stand up and I grabbed his hand to prevent him from exacerbating the already tense situation. Were two guys really about to fight over me?

“Dominic this is Maximus. Maximus this is Dominic.”

Maximus didn’t say another word to Dominic. “I have additions to the collection that I would like to discuss with you. Contact me when you’re done playing with your boy toy here.” He then left without another word.

Dominic’s jaw began to twitch; he was gritting his teeth so hard.

“Who’s that? An ex-boyfriend?”

“Not even. He’s my newest client’s son.”

“Seems like a real ass-----.”

I stopped him before he could continue, “Yes, he can be, but then again, I just met him last week. So who really knows? Anyway, I’m sorry for that. Want to talk about something else?”

He visibly relaxed and we chatted a little more before I had to get back. He kissed my cheek and I promised to call him later.

As I headed to my office, I saw a limo outside the university’s library. I figured that Mr. Cornwell or Maximus was there.

When I walked into the building, Maximus was sitting there chatting with the department secretary at her desk outside my office. She seemed flattered by his attention and was giggling like a schoolgirl as she spoke to him. I rolled my eyes and Maximus winked at me.

“Oh! Ms. Matthews, Mr. Cornwell is here to see you.”

“Thanks, Kim, I noticed.” I said with a smile in my voice. “Come in, Maximus.”

I was more amused by him that anything else.

“So what is it about Dominic that you like?” Maximus said as he closed my office door behind him without bothering to ask my permission first. I’m not sure why I expected anything less.

“I thought you wanted to see me about the collection.”

“The collection can wait. So what is it about him that you like? You didn’t answer the question.”

He sat down in the chair across from me and I couldn’t help but notice how he had an air of royalty about him.

“We only just met. I like that he’s funny and easy-going and sexy.”

“I’m sexy.” Maximus said matter-of-factly with a small smile forming on his face.

“I noticed that you left out funny and easy-going.”

“I’m a man, not a puppy. If you want fun and easy-going, maybe you should get a Labrador.”

“You’re being obnoxious.”

“I’m being honest.” He then suddenly got up and came around the desk where I was sitting and sat down on it.

“Get off my desk.” I said poking at him.

He grabbed my hand and said, “If you give me ten minutes, I’ll make you forget all about Danny Boy.”

“Dominic. His name is Dominic.”

I tried to pull my hand away and instead with barely any effort, he pulled me from my chair and I was in his arms.

“Ten minutes,” he said against my lips. He kissed me hard on the mouth and said, “Time starts now.” He punctuated each word with a kiss and then he led me to the small couch situated near a window in my office.

“Five minutes, and maybe we should do this somewhere else. My secretary’s right outside,”

“I know. Maybe she’ll walk in and join us.”

“Maximus!”

“I love it when you’re outraged.” He then didn’t waste time as he pushed me backwards, kneeled next to me, raised my skirt, and trailed his mouth across the edge of my panties. I spread my legs and raised my hips as he pushed my panties to the side and started licking my clit. I bit my lip to keep from moaning and he slowly rolled my panties down my legs. I didn’t know where my reckless behavior was coming from, but I liked it.

He pushed my thighs apart and my dress was around my waist as he buried his head in between my legs, sliding his tongue back and forth across my folds. His name came out of my mouth, half moan, half whisper and I said for the record, “Four minutes.”

He laughed roughly and pushed a finger inside of me.

“Maximus!” I breathed harshly and started moving my hips forward so that his finger slid deeper into me. He slowly removed his finger and stuck it in his mouth, licking my juices that were there.

“Three minutes.” I gasped as he buried his head between my legs and started sucking and licking at my clit. He showed no mercy as he pressed down on my inner thighs. As I started to climax, I didn’t think about minutes, seconds, or time at all.

“That a girl,” Maximus said with a self-satisfied look on his face as he pulled back briefly and then with his eyes meeting mine, he sucked on my clit one last time and my whole body tensed up as I felt him now rubbing his light beard across my sex, as I came hoarsely shouting his name.

“You taste so good. I could do this all day,” he said as he lowered my skirt and gently closed my legs.

He stood up and didn’t say anything more. I let my gaze drift down his body and noticed that he was hard; his member pressing against his slim fitting pants.

He followed the direction of my gaze and smiled, “Maybe later.” Then he left my office, leaving the door open, calling good-bye to my secretary.
