CHAPTER 10

CHAPTER 10

            Maddie was glad she’d taken Gwen into her confidence, but she wasn’t sure she’d be able to take her advice. It seemed quite scary to imagine approaching Spence in an effort to establish a more intimate relationship. Really, Maddie thought, what am I supposed to do, go in Spence’s office and say, “Hey Spence, that was a great fuck a few months ago. Can we do it again?”

          The idea made her laugh and brought up more potential scenarios. How about getting there before him and laying naked on his desk. Wonder if he’d get the idea then? Or, maybe I could invite Spence here and greet him at the door clad in saran wrap. Maddie couldn’t believe the racy ideas that were flowing through her head, but the idea of having sex with Spence again had to be responsible. She’d read about such things, but she’d never participated in any…maybe it was time.

          As for Spence, he’d accepted the fact that Maddie was definitely not interested in him. She hadn’t so much as winked at him or even attempted to flirt in any way since the beginning of the year. He wondered if he could come up with some reason to fire Maddie. Then she’d have to be willing to date him, except he was sure she’d be so pissed she wouldn’t respond to a single phone call. Spence was tired of seeing Maddie every single day and wanting her every single minute of their time together. It was a good thing he sat at his desk so his usual hardon in her presence wasn’t visible. Then, there were the dreams and waking to reach for her only to find a pillow adjacent.

          “Ah Spencer,” he muttered to himself, “it’s a lost cause. You may want her, but she doesn’t want you. Give it up man.”

          As spring began to flower in earnest, Maddie decided she simply had to do something. She went shopping and purchased a few sun dresses and some new heels. Looking in the mirror, she had to admit that in those dresses and wearing those shoes, she seemed pretty hot. She also bought a couple of barrettes and decided to wear her hair pulled away from her face and falling down her back.

          Just before the Memorial Day weekend, when the weather forecast called for temperatures in the seventies and eighties, Maddie wore the red sundress into the office. It was fitted through the chest, with a halter top and the short skirt swirled around her knees. A short jacket with brief sleeves covered her bare back and complimented the hair that streamed down. The red ballet slippers were a perfect match. Throughout the day she received a number of compliments on her attire and/or how she looked. She appreciated the feedback, because she really wanted Spence to notice when she entered his office for their pre-holiday briefing.

          Spence was aware of the bright red behind Maddie’s desk, but felt his eyes widen when she came into his office. She’d never worn anything with such a bright color since the Christmas party. And, it left her shoulders, and maybe her back as well, completely bare. It was all he could do to keep himself from getting up to find out how much of her back was bare.

          Maddie sat down and smiled as she asked, “Any big plans for the three-day weekend Spence? Going to go look for a sailboat or just sail about in one of the ones you can rent at the club?”

          “How do you know I’m thinking about buying sailboat?” he responded.

          “I guess you’ve forgotten I make your lesson appointments, plus I see the emails you get from Captain Ted. Apparently, you’re a fast learner and the captain is more than happy to assist you in your sailboat search.”

          “Oh, yes I guess I had forgotten.” Spence replied, trying to keep his eyes off the firm tan legs that protruded just a bit past the back edge of his desk. He wanted to reach out and stroke that skin.

          Instead, Spence cleared his throat and said, “Judging by the appointments on the calendar, I’m going to be out in the field most of next week. I didn’t see anything that would require me to be in the office, but if something comes up, you can give me a call, text or email.”

          Maddie looked Spence in the eye and gave him a big smile. “Well, you’ll certainly be missed if you’re gone all week. I do think we need to talk about the McClaren contract though. It’s up for renewal and I believe we might get a better price if they think we’re looking at other firms.”

          “McClaren, yes, I’d forgotten. Why don’t you go ahead and take care of that. If you come up with a better deal, let me know.”

          “Okay,” Maddie said standing up, “And you have a great weekend. I look forward to hearing all about your boat search or your sailing time on Tuesday.” As she walked toward the door, she attempted to give her hips just a bit more of a sway than she normally would.  

          When the door closed, Maddie leaned against it and heaved a big sigh. Then, she grabbed her jacket and put it on before anyone else could see that she’d gone into Spence’s office without it. Well, she told herself, maybe you were able to open the door just a bit. Guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see.

          Spence leaned back in his chair and adjusted himself in his slacks. He was extremely thankful he hadn’t had to stand up because his hardon would have been quite obvious. He wondered just what was going on. Maddie was being way more friendly than she’d been in months. He wondered why, but dismissed the idea that she was interested in him and told himself to stop daydreaming about a relationship that would never happen.

          On Saturday, Spence and Captain Ted found the perfect little sailboat. It wasn’t so big Spence couldn’t handle it by himself, but it was big enough that he could anchor it and sleep belowdecks. After the sale was concluded, Spence and Captain Ted went to the bar so he could treat the captain to drink to celebrate. One drink led to another as Spence listened to the various tales, suggestions and locations the captain had to share. When they were done, Spence called an uber for both of them. They’d celebrated too well to drive.

          When the uber arrived, Spence had the captain provide his address. He’d drop him off before he went home. Once the captain left the car, Spence gave his address, but, before he could even think about it, he said, “No, wait, take me to 7942 Fifth Avenue instead.”

          Spence knew he’d had at least one too many drinks. He also knew he’d just given the driver Maddie’s address. You’re a fool he told himself. What if she has a boyfriend you don’t know about? What if she’s not home? What if she answers the door and tells you to get lost? Damnit, you should just go home. As he started to tell the driver his own address, the car stopped in front of Maddie’s home.

          “Here you are sir. That’s be $35.75.” The driver said looking over the back of his seat.

          Spence pulled cash out of his pocket and handed the driver $50.00. “Thanks, and keep the change.”

          Spence stood there on the parking strip wondering what the hell he was doing. He started to walk away and then turned and marched himself up to Maddie’s door. He knocked loudly several times.

          The door cracked open and Maddie’s eyes widened in surprise. “Spence, what are you doing here?”

          “Please let me in Maddie. I really need to talk to you now, while I’m full of false courage.”

          Maddie opened the door all the way. “C’mon in.”

          The door closed behind Spence as he looked around the small hallway. Maddie moved in front of him and took his hand. “Come with me.”

          Spence followed Maddie through what must have been her living room and down a hallway into her bedroom. The television was on and the covers pushed back. Spence assumed Maddie had been in bed watching a movie or something. She let go of his hand and moved to the other side of the bed. She turned the TV off with the remote and began to unbutton her gown. Finished, she looked at Spence still standing in the door and allowed the gown to fall. She was completely naked.

          Maddie kneeled on the bed and held her hand out to Spence. He didn’t say a thing, but began to tear off his clothing until he too was naked. Then, he kneeled on the opposite side of the bed and took Maddie’s outstretched hand in his.

          “You are absolutely the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Spence declared as he knee-walked toward her. She knee-walked toward him as well until their bodies were right up against each other.

          Their lips met in a tentative kiss which immediately became hot and hard. Spence pulled back, saying, “Maddie, I don’t want to rush this. I’ve thought about making love to you so often. Please can we go slow, can we take our time? It’s going to be hard for me to do, but I’d really like that.”

          Maddie’s quiet laugh filled his ears. “Why not have both. Why not have immediate satisfaction followed by a slow and sensuous time.” She asked as she gripped his hard penis. “I really want this.”

          Their lips crushed together again and Spence’s hands squeezed and manipulated Maddie’s breasts. They were both panting and moaning as Spence moved Maddie so she lay beneath him on the bed. He used his knee to spread her legs and moved so his penis grazed her clit. Maddie moaned and arched upward. The second time she arched upward, Spence drove his penis into her hot and wet opening.

          Maddie’s legs came up around Spence’s waist and each time he drove into her, she clasped him even harder. Spence could feel his restraint failing with each thrust and he wasn’t sure how long he could continue when Maddie suddenly said, “OH. MY. GOD.” and tightened her legs around him so hard that he couldn’t pull out. The feel of her vagina rippling with her orgasm brought Spence to his own orgasm.

          They lay there, Spence on top of Maddie, her legs splayed out to either side of them. Both were breathing heavily. They could feel each other’s hearts pounding. If the Christmas sex had been absolutely great, this had been ever so much better.

          Maddie began to laugh and Spence was surprised. “What’s so funny?” he asked, raising up on his hands to look down at her.

          Maddie laughed some more and said, “Hasn’t anything ever felt so enormously fantastic you just had to laugh?”

          “I guess not,” Spence responded with a smile, “but I do have to say this was indeed enormously fantastic.”

          Spence went to move, but Maddie used her legs and arms to hold him exactly where he was. “I like this. I want this. You can’t move just yet. Stay awhile.” She murmured.

          He folded his arms down and pressed his full weight on her. “I like this too.” he responded as he tucked his face into the side of her neck.

          Some time passed and Spence realized Maddie had fallen asleep. Carefully, he eased himself off of her and pulled up the covers. Laying beside her, he pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes.
