Dominique could not help but laugh at the innocence and her excitement that she brought to the office.
He kept watching the clock as the hours passed by, he had spent almost 3 hours between the banks and acquiring the treat for his office manager.
At exactly 6:15 p.m., the buzzer at the office door was pressed. Michelle was at the door with a basket in hand and was clad in a baby doll dress. The gentle breeze lifted the hem playfully.
"Hi," Michelle greeted him with a shy smile.
Her smile was infectious, and Dominique could not help but to return with one of his own. As he held out his hand to shake hers, she pulled him toward her and hugged him with her empty hand. Her warmth took him by surprise and it brought back so many memories.
"Can I take the basket?" he asked.
"Sure," she responded.
"Why is it so heavy?" Dominique enquired.
"It's nothing I went home and cooked some chicken alfredo and I got a bottle of white wine to go with it…so hush."
"I never expected you to cook dinner."
"Hey anything for my new friend and client, and hopefully after tonight my landlord."
"Client?" Dominique enquired.
"Yes I took the liberty after you left the bank to prepare a prospectus for you on the mortgage and filled out the mortgage application forms from the file for the purchase of two units."
She opened the basket and took out the manila folder and handed the contents to Dominique.
"Let's go into your office and let me explain."
As he sat in his chair, Michelle stood beside him and he could not resist the smell of her perfume, it pulled him towards her seductively; the low cut blouse revealed her cleavage that was bra less and his eyes were held captive. The figures were mesmerising, and the bottom line was the most important part.
"Dominique, I propose to utilise the funds in his account to deposit on two town houses and mortgage both for the same period of time. I have also signed up both units to be a part of the bank's Executive Management Pool with a monthly projected income of at least US$4,500.00 each unit after paying the mortgage you will have a return of US$4,000.00 in hand. Dominique, there is a small catch and I must be honest with you, I need to guarantee the income with a small fee of US500.00 per month."
"So what can I do to increase the rate by 10% in order for me to find that fee?" Dominique asked.
"Well it depends on what you are will to do," she said as she sat on his desk, and the blue baby doll dress shifted to reveal clean clear skin.
"I thought you said you were a nice girl Michelle."
"I am just testing the parameters Mr Martin. I don't know what else you could be talking about, but your desk just looks like a nice place to sit on. If it is that you feel encouraged to observe and to follow your own instincts, I would not want to stop you or tell you no."
"That is a very interesting proposition you just made, who knows over time we could find ways of increasing the collaboration between us that the arrangements become more and more fruitfully beneficial."
"Aren't you hungry Dominique? When last have you eaten anything this delicate and moist?" she asked as she reached over to the basket. "I hope you don't mind eating out of disposable plates unless you like fine china?"
"No I have never eaten anything like this yet, but I am too old to try new things."
"Dominique, I hope it's the food you are talking about and nothing else because that is the only thing I will be sharing with you this evening."
"Michelle, I like how your mind works, I can see a long and very fruitful arrangement between us."
"Well here's to us then Dominique Martin," she said as raised her glass.
They talked in low tones as they shared her soft, moist alfredo and drank the chilled red wine. By the time the bottle was almost empty, Dominique had signed the mortgage application and had given Michelle the authority to access his secondary account.
The days and weeks flew by quickly, and Michelle Garland made it her point of duty to ensure that her name was not far from Dominique's tongue or lips. Her car was regular fixture in the parking space outside the office of Diplomatic Transporter; especially after 5 p.m. Dominique was extremely happy when he received the keys for his two bedroom units in the gated community in St. Andrew. The only person that he could have shared the good news was with Michelle, since she had slowly become his best friend. She even had the ability to finish his sentences. With her urging he had delayed the acquisition of the additional car.
She was interested in the business and was managing the accounts receivables. He knew that there would eventually be conflict between his two lives, but for now who cared or so he tried to tell himself.
"Dominique, I have good news, the bank has accepted your proposal for your units to be a part of the housing solutions. Guess what! I got them to pay out the upper limit because I told them that the units come with the services from Diplomatic Transportation with security included. So I was thinking that small fee per month could allow me a nice house elsewhere so that we don't mix business and pleasure. What do you think?"
"Michelle why do I find solace and comfort in your presence than I find at home? I know that at some stage I am going to have to reconcile my two homes. I find it heart rending that I could not just talk with mywife about my inner most thoughts as she would not jump to conclusion and the arguments would ensue for days. The icy feelings emanating from her has caused a crack in our relationship to grow into a chasm and seemingly got wider as the days and weeks passed. Somehow Michelle you provide the soothing balm to my invisible wound and slowlyI may be falling in love with the thought of you."
"Dom what the hell are you talking about? You can't be serious to be talking about falling in love with me, please remember that you have a wife and family. Besides, I can't change what we have and then one day I get replaced by a young hot girl. Let's focus on the business, and I am insisting that you think about consolidating the loans or placing the business on the Junior Stock Market and your first task was to convince your wife and partner, Marsha of the raising funds through an initial public offering. It's time you mend the relationshipwith your wife and take her out to dinner at a nice restaurant."
"I can bet any money that it had been a while since you two have hadany alone time. You have been cooped up for the past 3 months with Maxine and me, go home and find a dove with the olive branch and please do not pop by my house later."
"No thank you, the last time I planned to carry my wife out for dinner I ended up flat on my ass along Hope Road and no way am I going to go through that again. Alright I won't stop by yourhouse later, and I will go straight home after stopping at Chicken Shack, and since it's a Friday I will have a long wait."
"Yes Dominique, go home early for once and next week you can start paying Mr B his first instalment on investment and the new car will be delivered to your home on Monday I completed the transactions earlier today at work."
Dominique looked at Michelle and considered her words, but his mind and body had other intentions, with his curiosity at a peak and there was only one way that the man in him knew how to express his feelings. He got up from his desk and closed the office door and watched Michelle's' face as he pushed the privacy knob. Her face was like a blank canvass, devoid of expression, but she stood her ground.
With each step towards her he noticed her breathing changed and her nipples became fuller with the nipples stood at attention. He glanced at his watch, it was almost 5 p.m, but he had time and he seized around her small waist with his left hand and pulled her to him. He gently removed the clip that held her hair in place to release the hair that was confined in a ponytail.
Her hair cascaded and framed her face as his lips met hers; the tension in her body gave way as she responded to his oral embrace in like manner. Michelle grounded her hips against him and their bodies united with only the barrier a fabric between them. Dominique wanted to be passionate and let his love linger on her as his emotions synchronised with how his body felt.
She was perfect in every way, smart, caring, kind and sexy as hell. She turned him against his own desk and pushed him to sit on the edge of the desk. Michelle was on a mission, as she released his belt and opened his pants and smiled at the size of his member that sprang from confinement only to be arrested by her soft hands.
As she stroked him from stem to stern with her dimunitive hands struggling to contain the thick muscle in her hands, she felt moisture at the nexus of her legs and she impatiently wanted to feel the substance buried deep inside her. She watched as Dominique closed his eyes as he felt the pleasure of her touch. He opened his eyes as Michelle lifted her dress and removed her blue panty and climbed astride his thighs and her warm wet furnace fitted his shaft like a glove.
The thrusts of her hips drove Dominique wild as his moans and screams got louder and louder. His moans were only muffled by her lips and the invasion of her tongue matching the strokes of her hips. Tempered, tantalising and teasing movements Michelle brought Dominique to the brink of his seed erupting in her and then she held her form and stayed the motion of her love muscle.
