Second Chance MMF Romance
By: Natalia Wood
Under Their Influence
Chapter 1 New Job, Old Flame
Finally, I’ve got a job doing what I do best, office work. I studied typing and shorthand at the local college and have been looking for the perfect job ever since. I’ve been working in the university store since I left school, but I’ve been trying to improve my job prospects, for ages. It’s not that I didn't like my old job, I got to meet lots of locals, many I know by first name now, but I had more ambition than simply being a store girl. I decided to stay in my home town and the university was the only place with jobs, at that point in time. Being patient paid off, and now I’m working in a Real Estate office, not too exciting, but it’s a growing trade in this town. As the population expands, so does the building of new homes. I’m only a clerk, but there’s room for promotion at my age, and I am ambitious.
Lots of the kids at my school left this mountainous region for jobs in the cities, but not me. I have a lovely family and just couldn’t bring myself to leave mom, especially when we lost dad soon after I’d finished school, but it was expected after his long illness. He would have been proud of me, staying with mom to help bring up my younger siblings. I suppose that was why I stuck at a mundane job, it meant I could help mom with the income.
Now, I’m on more money and I feel ambitious. In my early twenties, with family problems easing off, I may even get my own place, after all I do work in Real Estate.
You can imagine how excited I am on my first day, and everyone in the office welcomes me. I think I’m going to like it here. At first I felt a bit shy, but having worked as a cashier in a shop does get you talking to people you don’t know, even if most of them were students. Anyway, it’s not long before I’m chatting with my new colleagues and enjoying being part of the team. I work at the front of house which means, once I’m settled, I will get to cover for reception duties. Maya, the full time Receptionist, said she will train me up fully and was glad that at last she would have some one to help ease the load. They hadn’t had a trainee for at least two years, because business had been bleak, but with the latest increase in construction, it has created this opening, which is great for me.
My tasks, to start with, are a bit mundane, but I expected that, so I wasn’t surprised that I ended up spending the first few days filing. Tomorrow I’ll get my own login for the computer and the real work will begin. I was deep in thought, placing records in alphabetical order, when a familiar voice broke my concentration. I turned around and there stood before me is an old flame, Matthew, and wow, he’s matured into a handsome looking guy. We split up because he went off to study and I stayed behind. Now he’s back and I like the look of what I see. He always was a big guy, tall, broad chest, wide shoulders, and he seems to have filled out even more since I last saw him. Couple that with his handsome features of a broad mouth with full lips, and sparkling blue eyes, makes him one handsome hunk.
“Hello, Matthew Ogata, fancy bumping into you after all these years,” I said, keen to make myself known by him.
The look of surprise on his face was classic.
“Leah Parker, wow, look at you now,” giving me an admiring glance before pulling me into a friendly embrace.
“Yeah,” I said, “I think we’ve both grown up a bit. You’re even taller.”
“And you,” he said, making a female shape with his hands, “you’ve gotten all curvaceous.”
I could feel the heat rise in my face at his compliment, all I could do was giggle in embarrassment. Way to go Leah Parker, I thought to myself, he must think me a provincial hick, who hasn't developed since he last saw me.
“Are you the new Office Trainee?” he asked.
“Yep, that’s me. I didn’t do much after school ‘cos of my pa. We lost him not much after. But now, my little sisters are all grown up and my ma told me to do something with my life. So. Here I am.”
“Yeah, here you are and it’s good to see you, and I’m really sorry about your dad,” he said, looking genuinely upset. He didn’t know my pa that well, but they did meet on occasion.
I felt a little pang of sorrow at the memories of my pa, at that particular time in my life, but, I have to say also, that I felt quite excited at seeing this guy in his classy office suit. I wonder if we could pick up where we left off? I hoped he might ask me out to catch up on old times, but he didn’t. Turns out he has his own office as he’s Senior Management here. I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mom who I bumped into today. You never know, if I play my cards right we might end up dating again?
Chapter 2 A Broken Heart
My first week passes by so quickly, with so much to learn and new people to meet. I don’t get to see much of Matthew, but when we bump into each other, he’s always pleasant to me. I really must try and get some time alone with him, so we can talk more on a personal level.
We have a small room at the back, for staff to sit and have their lunch, if they want to escape their desk. It’s also the place to make coffee. One day I’m sat there eating my lunch and he comes in to pour coffee from the coffee pot. I was so pleased when he spotted me and came and sat with me.
“How you settling in?” he asked.
“I love it. I’m going on a course for the computer software, so I’d say I’m learning the ropes. You did okay for yourself anyway, Matthew,” I said, meaning it in a kind way.
“I worked hard, but I always wanted to come back to the mountains. I missed the air and I often wondered why you stopped writing to me?” he asked.
I felt good that he remembered that.
“It was a bit hard at first, what with my pa. I needed to get out to work and when I was home I had to help my mom with the kids, so we had a few hard years,” I try to explain.
“You know that you broke my heart,” he said, surprising me. “Because of you I wouldn’t date anyone for ages. You should have told me, it would only have taken a letter.”
“I know, but I suppose I was so wrapped up in my own world, and I was a bit mad at you for leaving, I think,” I said, feeling a little confused at our old and renewed friendship.
“Look, we need to catch up with each other,” he suggested. “Let’s meet up some time, away from work. We have a lot to talk about.”
He got up left, but he’d said I’d broken his heart, I took that as a let’s pick up where we left off, kind of offer. This is so exciting. I still fancy him like mad and him being Senior Management can only help my new career no end. Not that that’s the reason I want to see him again, he’s turned out to be a hunky, muscular kinda guy. I bet he works out at the gym, he just reeks of masculinity and male hormones, I’d love to mix that with my female hormones.
As a few days pass by, he makes no effort to pick up
on his offer, so I decide I’d best encourage him. He’d always been a quiet, shy kind of guy, so maybe he simply needed a little prodding so he’d know that I’m still interested in his company. It’s time to take risks, great big ones. Risks must be done if I want to win this guy back again. I have no idea what I’ll do, just yet, but something will come to me, I’m sort of an impulsive type of person, who makes decisions on the hoof, so eventually something will come in my head, and I’ll just do it.
Chapter 3 My Think on the Spot Trick
One morning I was delivering the mail and I purposely saved Matthew’s for last, to see if I could catch him alone in his office. When I got to his office he wasn’t there, so I placed the mail on his desk. It was a huge antique desk that dominated the room, beautifully stained wood that must have many a tale to tell. There were two drawer sections on either side and in the middle a cavernous gap, easily large enough to fit a person in comfortably. I could hear Matthew’s voice approaching and a wicked thought came to mind. Quickly, I dipped down and hid in the recess of the desk. Matthew entered the office, talking on his cell, and sat at the desk. I remained calm and still as I knelt there. He was sat slightly back from the edge of the desk with his legs splayed as he talked on the phone, and completely oblivious to the fact that I was underneath his desk and almost between his legs.
Why I had hid under here, what was I thinking? He might be an old boyfriend but I could get sacked for this. I was beginning to think this was a very bad idea and that was compounded even further when he slid his chair closer to the desk, almost touching me with his legs. Fortunately, it was a wide recess and his legs were open wide, but the chair had pushed me as far back as I could go, and his legs were either side of me with my face was only inches from his crotch.
I had a strange feeling rush over me, one that I hadn't felt in a long time and I realised with some surprise that it was lust. Here I was trapped under a desk, possible sacked if discovered but all that was running through my mind was how close my face was to this mans crotch. He pants were pressed quite tight from the sitting position and I could quite clear see the outline of his cock. I felt a little tremor between my legs which rippled through all the erogenous zones in my body.
He was still talking on his cellphone, so I stayed quiet, not wanting to interrupt his call, it was probably business. Chatting away, as he sat at his desk, I remained calm and still, but I didn't feel very calm. With shaky hands I reached out and lightly stroked that bulge that was right in front of my nose.
“I cannot sanctify the loan, Mister Quinzi, it’s a simple…” he stuttered and looked down at my upturned face, shocked, yet making no attempt to stop me.
Matthew’s voice droned on with his customer, and I, feeling bolder, rub at the lump under my hand, which has grown considerably bigger.
Empowered by my boldness, I unfasten his belt and the button at the waist band, all the time Matthew is staring down at me while talking to the customer on the phone. His face seems impassive, but I see a glint of mischief in his eyes, as if daring me to continue.
Well, girl, I think to myself, you've come this far. I find the zipper and slowly start to pull it down, until his flies are completely open, and I push it open to uncover his boxers. That’s not what catches my attention, the front of the dark red boxers are pushed out, as his enormous erection is straining against the fabric.
I lean my face forward slightly and touch my nose on the bulge, and breath in deeply, hmm, male smell, no false fragrance here. The real smell a man, musky and masculine, but still clean. I breath deeply, taking in his odor, my body shudders with pleasure.
I have a real deep urge now to see his manhood in the flesh, to touch it and stroke it. So, I reach under the elastic of his boxers and pull them down, releasing his erection. Once free, it springs out and slaps against my forehead and I give a little naughty giggle, leaving it there, lying on my bare skin, just above my nose. His scrotum, hairy and pendulous, is almost touching my lips. His muskiness is even more powerful now, and I breath in deeply to draw in all his masculine scent.
Unable to contain myself any longer, I move my head forward slightly and start to kiss between his legs. My lips gently caress against his hairy scrotum, occasionally I flick my tongue out and run it across his flesh. As I look up at him to search for a reaction, I see his face is completely impassive, he’s in total control of his emotions. I’m beginning to see that as a bit of a challenge and I wonder how far I have to go to get some reaction from him
“Mister Quinzi, I will not change my mind…”
There was a definite quiver in his voice then, but I’m impressed at how he still manages to hold a normal conversation with this Quinzi guy, while I nuzzle into his crotch. His voice goes quiet, strange I never noticed him saying goodbye to his caller. He looks down at me and I brazenly stare back at him.
“If I didn’t know you better, young lady, I’d think you were after a promotion?” he says, smiling at me before moving my head away from his crotch.
I was a little disappointed that my game had come to an end. My whole body was a quiver with sexual tension and I could feel the warmth between my legs. I believe that if he had let me, I would have been happy to blow him, right under his desk, right there and then. Like I said, I think on the spot.
“Come on,” he says, while zipping his flies back up. “I need to talk to you.”
I wiggle from my knees and out of the confined space, straightening my skirt in the process. As he looks at me, I hand him his post.
“I came in to give you your mail,” I say, with a smile.
“Look, this is not best done at work, so let’s meet up,”
“I would love that. You’re not going to report me are you?” I ask, playfully.
“Of course not” he replies, smiling, but with a serious look on his face.
We agree a time and place for our date. I think that he must just be grouchy because we could have got caught. Next time, I’ll choose a better place, maybe I’ll suggest a stock cupboard.
Chapter 4 Tequila Sunrise
I arrive at a local bar, one where lots of students from the university hang out, but that’s okay because it means it’s not expensive. Though I’m surprised at Matthew’s choice of venue, I’d have thought him to be a little more upmarket.
I’m a bit relieved when I spot him sat at a table as I didn’t fancy sitting in a bar on my own. He would probably have thought of this, he knows me well. Then I see that he’s not alone, there’s another guy sat with him. Maybe it’s just someone he’s bumped into, I’m sure we can move on to another bar so we can be alone.
He seems to have spotted me because he stands up to greet me with a lovely smile on his face and an open arm embrace.
“Leah, what you drinking these days?” he asks.
“Well, seeing as we’re in a Cocktail Bar, I’ll have one of them. I want one with all the trimmings, what would you recommend?” I say to him.
I have to say, I’m really keen on making this date work, seeing Matthew out of his shirt and tie, he’s even sexier. He has on a great hat, like a wider brimmed trilby and it suits him, especially with his dark glasses. His grey t-shirt fits snugly to his firm abs, showing his hairy but well muscled arms. I’d forgotten how long his legs were, it’s hard to tell when a man’s in a suit everyday. But, his black jeans really show off his slender, long legs and tight ass. Rounding off with his pointed toe boots, he looks really hot, and eatable.
“I would recommend the Tequila Sunrise,” the guy sat with him suggests as he raises a glass of that exact same drink.
Smiling back at him, I agree that I would love to try it and, in fact, the guy sat with him is the one to go to the bar.
“That’s good of him,” I say to Matthew, “he doesn’t even know me and he’s buying me a drink.”
“Actually, Leah, he does know you,” Matthew says, holding my hand.
“Oh, is he a student, I worked in the shop for years and loads of people knew me there
?” I laugh.
“No, he knows you because I’ve told him about you,” Matthew was talking about to me to his mates, wow, I’m in with a chance of a renewed relationship then.
The guy arrives back with drinks for all, on a tray. He’s not bad looking actually, but there’s something not quite right about him, and I can’t put my finger on it.
“Leah, this is Nico,” Matthew introduces us. “He’s joining us for the evening because he’s my partner.”
“Oh, your also in to Real Estate, I think everybody is at the moment, it seems fashionable,” I blurt out, realizing he’s some sort of work colleague, though not from our place. “Are you leaving Matthew?” I ask, suddenly thinking that perhaps this guy is head hunting.
“No, Leah, not my business partner, my lover,” he says, just like that.
“Oh, I see, you mean that you don’t like me anymore?” is all I can think to say.
