Over the next weeks until the holidays, things were going really well with Kori. We weren't officially dating, but I didn't mind that. We were on a positive path. It takes a lot for me to admit that I like someone, but I really liked Kori. It was almost overwhelming, how much I liked her.
At work, of course, it was all kept under wraps. Besides stealing sneaky glances at work, as some flirtation when I would go into her office, it was strictly professional.
However, when I would go to her condo, it was the complete opposite. I was getting to know the real Kori, not just as my somewhat intimidating boss. I was getting to know her for who she truly was, as well as her body.
Her body.
Whew.
When it came to that, Kori was an absolute expert. I have experience, but she blew my experience out of the water, and exceeded any and all expectations. She took me to new heights, and I couldn't get enough of her.
It was difficult to conceal at work, but I thought I was doing a good job of it. I knew that if I wasn't, Kori would tell me otherwise.
For her, and the sake of her job, I had to be strictly professional.
Christmas came and went, and I spent it with my family. Kori spent Christmas with her sister, brother in law, and nieces.
Even though I was tense around my parents, I was glad that I finally had one Christmas where I wasn't working. When I was a nurse, I worked every Christmas and every New Years Eve, so I could have time off on Thanksgiving.
During the week between Christmas and New Years Eve, I received a text from Kori at work telling me to come to her office.
My heart skipped a beat, wondering what she needed from me.
I slipped away from my desk, and went to Kori's office. The door was closed, and when I knocked her voice came through from the other side, "Come in."
I opened the door and entered her office, and when I walked in, she grinned at me, "Just who I wanted to see."
I walked up to her desk and she stood up to face me.
"I'm here at your beck and call," I joked, "Even though I was in the middle of something quite important."
Kori raised her eyebrows, "Oh? You could've told me to wait."
I laughed, "I'm just kidding. I was definitely not in the middle of something important. If I'm being honest, I wasn't doing much of anything."
Kori chuckled, "This time of year, there's not much to do. Hell, I've been in my office on my phone for half the day."
I laughed, "I feel special that you can admit that to me."
"To you and only you," Kori said, a hint of seriousness to her tone, "Anyway, you're probably wondering why I texted you to come here."
"Of course I am," I nodded, "What's going on?"
"Are you doing anything on New Year's Eve?" Kori asked me.
"I was maybe going to go out with Trey but nothing is set in stone. Why do you ask?"
Kori looked a bit bashful as she said, "I was wondering if you'd like to spend new years with me. No pressure, of course. But I wanted to ask."
I couldn't help but smile, "I'd love to."
Kori looked surprised, "You would? I don't want to take you away from your friends."
"You're not, Kori. I'd love to spend the holiday with you."
