“Take it off.” He said still kissing me roughly. I quickly obliged him and without pulling my mouth away from his, I slid the tight little dress down my body. As usual I struggled with getting them passed my hips, but I eventually did. Charles didn’t waste any time unclasping my bra and practically ripping off my panties. Once I was fully naked Charles picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his slim waist. I thought he was going to take me to the bed, but I was surprised when he sat me on top of my dresser.
“The bed’s more comfortable.” I said breathlessly as I ran my hands through his hair again.
“The dresser’s more exciting.” Charles said and began fumbling with his belt. It was dark in my room, but I could still see him clearly with the light shining in from the bathroom. He unbuttoned his suit jacket and undid the buttons on his white shirt. I inhaled deeply as I saw his abs tense and I had to touch it. I ran my hands down his chiseled body and felt myself growing more aroused as the seconds passed me by. When he undid his pants and revealed his length to me I couldn’t believe that I wasn’t this bold with him before. He had something special that I’ve needed for a long time. I watched his limber fingers reach into his pocket and pull out a foil packet.
“You’ve planned this.” I said and he smirked.
“No, but I always come prepared.” He ripped it open quickly and covered himself with it. He didn’t waste no more time as he guided himself inside of me.
“God!” I gasped as the head of his penis began stretching me open. It was an unpleasant pain, but it was a feeling that I knew I could adjust to. He moved slowly at first and when he was all the way inside of me he paused.
“You okay?” his voice came out rough.
“Yeah.” I said as I shifted on the dresser. It wasn’t comfortable at all, but if it got Charles off I’d deal with the unpleasant wood on me. “Just a little bigger than I thought.” I laughed a little. He chuckled and began moving inside of me. “Hah!” I moaned and clenched my eyes closed. The angle that he had me in allowed him to navigate himself inside of me expertly. I was starting to feel happy that I went with a smaller dresser for my room.
“It’s hot inside of you.” He moaned and pushed deeper inside of me almost to the point that I felt that he’d pound into my stomach.
“Charles!” I yelled and gripped his back. My freshly painted nails left a thin red line going down his back as he took me to sexual highs that I never knew I could get to. “So good… it feels… so good.” I said and arched my back as I came hard.
“There you go.” Charles groaned then and pushed one more time inside of me. I could feel him throbbing as he came and the sound of his moans brought me over the edge again. Once the intense moment died down and we caught our breaths, we held each other gently. At that tender moment I realized that over the course of these few weeks that we’ve known each other, I’ve fallen in love with him.
Chapter Four
I had to admit that when Charles and I woke up the next morning, that it was a little awkward. We tried our best to speak normally while we both avoided the subject of last night’s sex session. He excused himself to take a quick shower and I busied myself in making breakfast. A million thoughts ran through my mind as I made our omelets and all of them involved me crossing the line with a client and an engaged man. No matter how stupid I thought his engagement was, he was still getting married and in a few weeks. I’m his wedding planner and I crossed the line by sleeping with my client.
“I’m so stupid.” I whispered to myself. What made it worse was that now that we’ve been intimate, I didn’t want to let him go. I thought I was too mature to fall in love with a man this fast, what had I gotten myself into? No matter how many times I yelled questions at myself, I didn’t have an answer to them.
“Smells good.” I jumped when he spoke. I turned around and he was standing there wearing the suit from last night.
“Thanks” I said as I blushed when he looked over my shoulder. I could smell my favorite shampoo that I keep on the side of my tub in his hair. “You can have a seat, it’ll be ready soon.” I said in the voice that I used to speak with my clients. He nodded his head and walked over and sat down at the table. I could tell that he felt as equally as awkward as I did.
“So… are we going to talk about what happened?” he finally got the courage to ask. I exhaled and turned off the stove.
“What is there to say about it?” I countered. What we did couldn’t be taken back no matter how much we may or may not have regretted it.
“Well first you can say thanks for that kick ass sex.” I couldn’t help but to break into a grin at that. I was glad he was trying to make light of the situation because I knew that I wasn’t helping at all.
“Thanks.” I said and grunted. I walked over to the cabinet and pulled out two plates. Slapping an omelet on both of the plates I walked over to Charles and sat his down in front of him. Placing mine down quickly I picked up two mugs and poured coffee into each of them. “Here” I said as I handed the mug to Charles.
“I’m sorry.” Charles said once I sat back down and I looked into his face and I saw sadness in his eyes. Blushing at this, I nodded my head.
“I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have come on to you like that.” I don’t know why, but this conversation was really starting to make me feel sad. I regret what we did but somewhere inside of me, I didn’t regret it. Charles and I clicked and we couldn’t deny that there was chemistry between us. I wasn’t going to tell Charles that I loved him right now, but I knew that he feels the connection between us. I didn’t want to bite my tongue any longer regarding the situation. “I don’t like sounding cliché or corny, but last night meant something to me other than me wanting to have sex, Charles.” Charles looked at me then as he placed the fork filled with omelet into his mouth.
“I felt something too,” Charles said after he thought longer on the conversation. “But I’m getting married soon Stephanie. This can’t and will not happen again.” His previously playful attitude was gone and in its place was a seriousness that I’ve never seen on Charles face before. I felt tears trying to push themselves into existence so I looked down at my plate and ate my food. We ate the rest of our meal in silence and when we were done, Charles left. Ollie came to me once I shut the door and whined and I couldn’t help but to take Ollie into my arms and sob.

“Wow you’re coming in late. What’s wrong? You look like your dog just died or something.” Karla said when I walked into the office later than I was supposed to. Thankfully I didn’t have any appointments and Karla had her own key.
“Good morning, Karla.” I said and sighed. I viewed Karla as a friend, but there was a line that one shouldn’t cross when it came to what you told people who worked for you. “I didn’t sleep well at all last night.” I slept better than I ever had in my whole life. It was waking up the morning after that ruined my day. “I probably ate something that didn’t agree with my stomach. Don’t worry about me though, I’m fine.” I managed to give Karla a reassuring smile and walked passed her.
“Alright.” Karla said and I knew that she had a lot of questions to ask me, but unfortunately what I told her was all she was going to get from me. My phone began ringing after I walked into my office and this annoyed me. I knew that I needed to force myself to focus on my work, but my heart was still aching.
“You’ve reached Stephanie, the woman who could make all your wedding dreams come true.” I was happy that I managed to sound as close to normal as possible.
“Stephanie.” The familiar baritone voice greeted my ears and I blushed.
“Ho... hold on for a minute.” I stuttered and placed Charles on hold. I got up and walked to my office door. “Karla I have a quick phone meeting.” Karla looked up from her desk and nodded her head.
