In Just Five Days (closed to Steffi200051)

Jane still did not get the idea of not driving but the cab was the safe route. She entered the cab first, quite sure that Adrian was using the opportunity to watch her butt. Even though it didn't bother her, Jane still gave it a thought. Adrian enjoyed looking at her! It didn't bother her. Not after the previous afternoon at the lake.

She checked her phone, it was only 8:30pm. "When we get back, got anything in mind?"

She wasn't keen on drinking at the lounge, but it wasn't out of the question.

"When we get back, got anything in mind?"

He turned his head to face Jane before replying..

"Not specifically... Possibly a night cap in the lounge, but I am too full to drink too much... What about yourself?

 

[Steffi200051]

"Yeah, just one, we can see what is happening in the lounge."

The driver dropped them off right at the main entrance and collected twenty-two dollars!

"Yeah, just one, we can see what is happening in the lounge."


"Sure? You don't sound convinced" he teased

Adrian met her eyes before he reached into his back pocket for his wallet and paid the cab driver. With him accepting his payment, before driving off Adrian lead the two of them to the doors allowing

He placed his hand lightly on the small of his back as he guided her towards the lounge.

He stopped.

 

[Steffi200051]

Once inside the lobby they could hear music emanating from the lounge. Adrian stopped as if to listen. She could feel him guiding her with his hand.

"Maybe it is a lively crowd tonight?"

.

As he approached the lounge, he could hear the atmosphere, a slight 'buzz' emanating from the lounge and bar area.

"Maybe it is a lively crowd tonight?"

He smiled as he offered her his arm.

"Care to go and investigate?"

He felt her accept his arm as they walked into the lounge area, anyone looking at them would probably assume incorrectly that they were a couple as they glided to the bar. The bar stereo was playing slightly more uptempo music than it had done on other evenings.

There was obviously a large group of people from the same organisation/meeting as they sat around in several large groups chatting way quite merrily. There were also a few smaller groups, and Adrian thought he saw Sarah and her colleague on one discrete table as Jane and himself approached the bar.

It wasn't long before Adrian was served s he ordered himself a fine Californian Merlot, and turned to face his companion.

"What would you like Jane?"

 

[Steffi200051]

"How about ....a Gin and Tonic?"

Jane was not feeling any effects from the previous wine and the idea of a party had generated new energy. Adrian and she took seats at a round table to complete the group. She knew the names of about half the class, yet there were a few seated that she could not address by name.
They joined the conversation, which was workplace romance. From what was being said, accountants were more sexually active than she remembered from college.

The laughter filled the bar every few minutes.

Conversation is flowing as the group from the course are chatting and giggling, other groups in the busy hotel lounge also adding their sounds to the general atmospheric ambience.

Some one suddenly asks..

"Anyone had an affair with a work colleague?"

A couple of people answer and then it is Arian's turn to answer...

"Would anyone believe me if I said I have not even kissed another woman since my marriage?"

A bit of teasing as people ask "Really?" "Honestly?" The some one asks.. "Would you?"

"Never say Never" he replied for of mystique, intrigue. as he looks at Jane.

"Your turn"

 

[Steffi200051]

took a swig of her drink, half laughing as she swallowed, before clearing her throat and glancing around the table.

"Nothing major, a little tempting perhaps, just to see if I can still draw attention. Let's face it, it's fun to be pursued, even at work. "

She listened as the next person spoke, but her eyes were on Adrian as she thought about the previous day at the lake. It somehow seemed difficult to understand how he hadn't been tempted during all those years of marriage.

"Nothing major, a little tempting perhaps, just to see if I can still draw attention. Let's face it, it's fun to be pursued, even at work. "

Some younger female from another organisation smiles as she looks at Jane..

"Yes we all appreciate compliments.... So how far have you gone with your tempting? You know Ive fucked a couple..."


Adrian grinned as he heard the question and looked at jane out of the corner of his eye.....

 

[Steffi200051]

"Noooo..not that. Oh my gosh--you had sex and then worked with the guy! That could be a real minefield. No, I've been married for seven years."

It was of course inviting more questions but Jane said it in hopes of getting the heat off her. The men at the table could not have been more pleased, especially with her language. It was all playing into their fun. It didn't take her long to respond.

"Like maybe a blow job, right. I've done that."

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

He smiled as he saw Jane's slight discomfort, though he thought she handled the situation rather well though he was quite surprised by the admissions being offered.

"Well I can category state that I have never given a guy a blow job" teased Adrian, winking at Jane as he reached fpr his drink and took a sip of his Merlot.

 

[Steffi200051]

"So, you gave a guy at work a blow job then continued working there?"

Jane was stressing a different point but the woman, who was perhaps 35, held fast to her claim. It appeared that a standoff was developing. To change the mood, Hank offered to buy a round for the entire table!

"Yes, it was a decent guy who was having some problems and needed his
spirits lifted."

The group roared with laughter!

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

The conversation turned onto more mundane topics, thought the large group was starting to splinter. A couple of guys were trying to chat up Melody after her confessions, and Adrian for a while became passive, listening, smiling but not saying much.

He really didn't have mush to add to the conversation and so he kept quiet. Occasionally he glanced at Jane, but other wise he just listened and sipped his wine, declining the refill.

 

[Steffi200051]

At the second drink Jane really began to feel the effects but knew she was only a few yards from the elevator. She checked her watch thinking to be sure to call home before ten. Sarah began an engaged conversation with the guy sitting next to her and the group dissolved into small chatter.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

As the groups seemed to grow smaller and smaller, Adrian decided it was time to call it a night. Sarah was chatting with another guy, and Jane seemed preoccupied - possibly thinking about her family.

He gave his apologies and stood up.

"Good night all..... See you all in the morning.... " he winked at Jane before turning to leave the group and head to the lifts.

He called a lift and waited, watching the reception staff as they dealt with another client, before the doors opening with the soft ping of the elevator sounds.

 

[Steffi200051]

"Yep, it has been quite a day."

Jane was about to finish her drink but moments later felt better of it, stood up a bid everyone a good night. She made her way to the door but made a big effort to place her feet correctly. She turned and made her way to the elevator noting that Adrian was not yet gone.

"Hey, wait--let's not go yet. "

It was probably the booze and party atmosphere that had her talking so boldly. We could walk out to the pool area?

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

Adrian held the loft a he saw Jane rush towards him.

"Hey, wait--let's not go yet. We could walk out to the pool area?"

"Sure" as he stepped out of the lift, the doors closing impatiently behind him.

He offered her his arm, and they soon were outside in the poor area and gardens of the hotel, in almost darkness apart from the lights placed in the gardens, and under the water within the pool, a few ripples spanning the surface of the water.

They walked for a while in silence.... Adrian was thinking about the weird conversation they had just had, and infidelity, and the potential hazard of a office romance as well.

They stopped and and ended up-facing each other.

"Strange conversation in there..... Maybe it was because we were mostly strangers to one another, so less inhibitions?"

 

[Steffi200051]

"Undoubtedly to say the least, I can't imagine that woman wanting to lift someone's spirits."

The fresh air was just the right measure to revive her senses as she really began to feel the effects of the excessive drinking. She knew enough to keep moving around and allow her body to catch up. The pool area was deserted, which made it all the better.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

He turned to face Jane as he grinned...

"She could raise my spirits any day!" he joked; "though to be honest there are others who I would prefer to raise my spirits." He was joking of course, but deep down there was an underlying truthfulness in his comment.


The evening was cool, the area deserted as they stood in silence for a moment. Adrian looked at her, and wondered what Jane was like in bed. Was she soft, sensual or wild uninhibited or even both.....

 

[Steffi200051]

"Well perhaps, in a short little bang in the backseat, but you need a woman who could last all night."

She all most gave it away by laughing out loud, as Adrian could not see her face in the shadowy lit grove-like area of the pool. It was her way of teasing. It was of course a swell way to end the evening. She could only imagine what he might be thinking. They were at the far end of the pool.

 

[CFMB_fan]

..

"Well perhaps, in a short little bang in the backseat, but you need a woman who could last all night."

Adrian listened in the darkness as Jane spoke and contemplated his reply, a teasing smile forming on his lips..

"And are you able to last all night Jane..."

He paused before quickly adding.... "And was that an offer?" the jokiness of his comment obvious i his voice.

.

 

[Steffi200051]

"I can outlast that girl I know that!"

It may have been the booze talking but Adrian knew she was used to giving a straight reply. The night air was definitely cooler but only by a few degrees. She was feeling warm which may have also been related to the night of drinking.

"Hey, you up for a swim? More like a skinny-dip?"

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

"Hey, you up for a swim? More like a skinny-dip?"

He looks at her, her face partly in shadows, partly lit by the light filtering from the lamps that litter the pavement and pool area of the hotel gardens.

"You are serious arn't you Jane?"

He pondered briefly before he replied,He placed his hand on her cheek as he did so..

"Not quite my thing, I cant believe being caught would be a good idea for my position at the compnay, and with only 10 years to getting my hands on that lovely pension"

 

[Steffi200051]

"Good thinking, You're right as always. Why take a chance?"

Jane moved quietly to the railing near the diving board area, looking at the well-lit pool.
