You let out a long and shaky breath, bracing your hands down against the cool marble counter trying to centre yourself. Glancing up at your reflection you could see how flushed you appeared, heat practically radiating off your skin despite the thin vest and shorts you wore.

Turning on the tap you let it run for a moment before splashing the cold water on your face and neck. Feeling relief almost immediately. Looking back at your reflection your eyes drifted to the closed door behind you. You had to go out there eventually, you couldn't spend the night in this bathroom.

You never in a million years would have imagined yourself in this situation. Hiding in a hotel bathroom, your very attractive married boss on the other side of the door, waiting for you in the one bed. But you only had yourself to blame, all because of one split-second decision at the Christmas party a couple of months back.

Despite the copious amounts of alcohol you drank that night, you still remembered it painfully clear. You and Andy ended up striking up a conversation, which wasn't unusual considering you were his PA, but the conversation never stopped. It carried on for hours, long past the time everyone else went home. The longer you spoke the deeper the conversation and the more skeletons were revealed like how Andy's marriage was dead in the water.

What started with a comforting hand on his shoulder, turned into a tight embrace and then into a heated kiss. One you knew you should have stopped but you couldn't, you were too lost in the feeling of Andy's lips on yours, his hands exploring your body. And you just knew if you had the privacy of his office instead of a dark corridor in a bar, it would have gone a lot further.

The next day nothing was said about the kiss and you didn't know if that was better or worse. Especially since something had definitely shifted between you and Andy. You felt his eyes on you more, and if you caught him staring he wouldn't look away, instead he'd smirk and you'd avert your eyes. He was more charming, winking at you, dropping coffee at your desk.

It would have been perfect if he wasn't married. The gold band on his finger was a constant reminder of how wrong this all was. You couldn't be the other woman, you couldn't be the reason the marriage broke down, no matter how dead it already was. It was wrong no matter how much you wished it was right, any relationship with Andy had to remain in your mind and your dreams.

And yet here you were, about to share a goddamn bed with him because of a mess up in the system meaning this was the only room left. You almost laughed out loud at your bad luck when Andy walked over with an apologetic smile and one key card.

You told yourself you could do this though. You and Andy despite being employee and employer, were also good friends and good friends can share beds without it being an issue. But you knew it wouldn't have been so simple, because as you talked, laughed and relaxed after dinner you felt the sexual tension building like it had at the Christmas party. Leaving you in your current predicament, locked in the bathroom trying to get control of yourself.

Taking a deep breath you steeled your nerves and got ready to step back out of the bathroom. You were going to go straight to your side of the bed, climb in and say you were tired and fall straight to sleep. Nothing more.

It was a good plan, a great plan. Until you opened the door, your eyes instantly landed on Andy and you forgot how to breathe. He was reclined back against the headboard, one arm resting behind his head making his bicep look even bigger. The white cotton tee he had been wearing had been discarded leaving you with an unobstructed view of his bare chest.
