Untitled - For Now

Chapter 11

After the tryst in Namjoon's office, Kate had rushed out to her cubicle and finished up what she had been working on. Thankfully, it had taken her less time to get it all done than she thought. She was actually surprised at being able to focus as well as she had, given what had just happened. Screwing her boss? In his office? On his conference table?!

Not one of her better judgement calls.

But the way he had kissed her, touched her, talked to her, and cleaned her up afterwards was an experience she would never soon forget, let alone the earth shattering orgasms he gave her. Those times at the club held nothing against what had happened in the office.

But it wasn't something that could continue. She was sure of that. She needed this job. She needed the security of what it could provide for her financially. And screwing her boss – in his office, no less – was not something that would ensure she kept her job. What if someone found out? What if someone happened to be outside the door when they were together? It just wouldn't work. She had to find a way to avoid him and put up a barrier so he couldn't penetrate it.

Penetrate. Perhaps another word should be used there. That's hitting a little too close to home at the moment.

So when Lylah suggested they go out the next night to wind down after the long week of month end craziness, Kate was all on board.

Dressed in a short, body-hugging dress with heels, Kate met Lylah outside of their favorite club. She had chosen the outfit she did to draw attention to herself. To maybe get a hook-up. Anything to put Namjoon out of her mind. She really wasn't one for one night stands, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

And these were most definitely desperate times.

"Girl, you are looking hot tonight!" Lylah exclaimed, looking Kate over from head to toe. "Are you horny or just desperate, because this dress says both." Kate frowned.

"I wasn't going for the desperate look, but maybe I am a bit horny." Kate said, looking herself over and pulling the hem of the bottom of her dress down a bit. She looked up at her friend and smiled. Lylah looked just as nice in a pair of baggy jeans and a crop top. She could always rock those looks that Kate wasn't as comfortable in. And it never failed – Lylah always turned heads wherever she went.

She hadn't yet told Lylah what had transpired last night. Lylah was her best friend, but for some reason she just hadn't drummed up the courage to confide in her about this. Fear of what could happen if word got out was most likely the motivator to keep quiet, but the longer this...whatever this was with Namjoon...went on the more she needed her friend. She didn't think she'd be able to keep this to herself much longer. But tonight, she wasn't going to think about him. Tonight she was going to dance and flirt with as many men as she could to put him out of her mind.

As they entered the club, they noticed the place was already hopping. It had just opened for the night, but there were plenty of people on the dance floor already. Many were ordering liquid courage before heading out, but Kate and Lylah didn't waste any time and started dancing right away.

The atmosphere was ripe with the feeling of letting loose. The air wasn't thick yet, but it would be once more people crammed the floor. It was comfortably warm for now and there was plenty of space to move a bit. Rolling hips, hands raised, eyes closed...Kate was enjoying the moment. Letting the stress of the week evaporate with each passing moment. She opened her eyes and smiled at Lylah who was enjoying herself as well.

Within moments, the girls had captured the attention of a couple of good-looking men. One, a handsome brown-haired guy in slim jeans and a button down shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, sidled up to Kate, while the other, a blonde guy with dimples and a butt to die for went directly to Lylah. Enjoying the music and the attention, Kate turned to face her dance partner and winked. He danced closer to her, so he was able to rest his hand against her hip. She turned around to watch Lylah and her man get in the groove and the hand that was on her waist slid along her stomach, gently pulling Kate back to him. She bit her lip and turned her head slightly, giving the man behind her easy access to her neck, if he wanted it. He lowered his face to her ear and as he spoke she could feel his breath on her shoulder.
