Last winter, Terrence had such a different life. He was unemployed, and out of a “relationship.” Now he was newly promoted, and his “relationship” was something that he never expected he would be in.Eliza was someone he never expected he would be with, but he was. He knew that she was in an open relationship, and that she was engaged but being with her made him happier than anything. It was even more significant to him than having his job. 

Lunch with her that day had not included any physical contact, but he had loved being close to her. Hearing about her day and looking in her eyes. She was a remarkable woman, and she made any season feel like summer.

He was so hot for her.

She had not told her fiancé yet about them, but he almost did not need that. Being with her, even clandestine was enough for now. Sometimes things were not the way you wanted them, or rather expected to them to be.

Eliza knocked on his closed door, and then walked right in. He smiled, but the look on her face made her wonder if he should smile…

Again, he had to ready for the unexpected…

Eliza clutched at the pearls about neck as she read the passage from her novel:
Her phone vibrated and she wondered if it was Smith, but then she vibrated herself when she thought it might be Gus. When she looked at her phone, she saw it was Gus.

“Hey,” she said softly, happy that he had won the who was calling her phone lottery.

“Hey, I need to see you. I know you were just here, but I really need to see you and I was hoping…”

“I just left the house, I wanted to be alone I told Smith that, but I want to be with you…” she said, walking faster than the speed of life and walking like traffic signs were not invented. Like cars would not or could not hit her. In Victorian times, she would have moved this way like horses could not rush her.

“I don’t want to make you.”

“I want you to make me.”

She pulled at her pearls, and thought how elegant she looked on her way to her assignation with Gus.

When she arrived at his door, he touched her pearls, and she thought of the pearl necklace he had left on her and could not help but fiddle with these less precious pearls about her neck.

She looked up at him, and all she wanted him to do was make her.

Even in fiction, she could not escape the conflicts that her real life presented. She put the vintage novel down, when she saw Terrence’s name on her office phone, and Rafe’s name on her personal phone.
She crossed her legs tightly, and thought how she would like either man to…

…make her.

Eliza tapped her stylus on her tablet. She overlooked the notes that she was given to look over, before the meeting started. 

Before Terrence walked in for his review. 

Still lightly tapping the stylus, she knew that the meeting would not start until she gave the okay. With careful deliberation, she looked up, and her assistant walked over to the door and asked Terrence to come in.

As soon as he looked at her, Eliza imagined what it would be like if he spread her over the table in the conference room. She was in charge now, but if he spread her against that table, he would be in charge. But even though she was thinking that, her face remained plain as her assistant closed the door behind him and she placed her tablet on the table. 

She let her colleagues begin the meeting, and she followed each point with her stylus on her tablet.

“Eliza has been working the closest with you, and she said she was especially impressed with your performance in Paris,” Loretta began, and looked at Eliza.

Eliza lifted her head from her tablet, smiled at Loretta and began speaking to Terrence.

“I was extremely impressed to see everything that you accomplished in Paris. It was everything that we hired you for, and let me know that you were a hard worker and a team player which now? I can say I was not sure about in New York. But the team tells me that since Paris it has been really great working with you and socializing with you at company functions.”

“Exactly! Terrence, we are excited to promote you to team leader. You will be working very closely with Eliza, and you will be more hands on with the team. Congratulations!”

Terrence smiled and looked between both women.

“Thank you both, I am really honored and happy to work closer with Eliza and the team.”

“Let’s have lunch, a celebratory lunch with the team.” Loretta said.

Eliza sat through lunch, and purposely let the team sit with Terrence as she talked mostly to her other colleagues. There was champagne, and she was a little tipsy. After lunch, she called Terrence into her office. 

“Close the door behind you,” she commanded.

Terrence did as he was told.

Picking up her tablet and stylus again, she looked at Terrence.

“I wanted to show you my notes, to show you all the decision making I made so that you do not think that this promotion…”

Terrence stood close to her, and she could tell that he had something to prove as well.

“In Paris, before we…” 

Eliza looked at him, but he avoided her eyes. 

“In Paris,” he continued. “You were a little tipsy and you told me that I had far exceeded your expectations. Don’t you remember, or I am flattered if everything that happened after made you forget…”

They looked at each other at the same time.

“I remember everything,” she said, and placed her hands on either side of her on her desk. “I just wanted you to know, I am happy we will be working closer together because I think you are really good at what you do.”

“I know,” he leaned in, and smiled at her. “Thank you.”

Eliza wanted him, but it was the middle of the day and her position was too high up for a bathroom tryst now. Terrence nodded at her, and the darkness in his eyes before he stepped back let her know they were both in need.

“Is that all for now?” he asked, with a raised eyebrow and thick voice.

“Yes,” she panted.

He nodded, and walked out. She watched his strong back stride out the door, and knew later she would tell him her mental notes that were not on her tablet…

“What is on your bucket list?”

Eliza gulped. She squeezed Rafe’s arm, and smiled at the random guest at her company’s cocktail party who had asked her. She had nothing but smiles, because everybody was somebody tonight and she was there to dazzle.

“Bucket list, fucket list,” Rafe whispered into her ear. “Really, is that the best conversation that someone can come up with?”

They laughed, and then they walked up to another guest.

Terrence.

Terrence walked up to her and Rafe, and he was not alone. Eliza smiled a tight smile, as she watched him walk over with another colleague. He told her he would be there with someone else and that it was casual, but it was startling to actually see him with her. Their company was big, so it was even more surprising to her that she did not know this woman.

“Ms. Morton, it is such a pleasure to meet you! I am Micha from the Paris office!”

Eliza smiled at the woman who stood beside Terrence and beamed at her. She now remembered having met the woman in Paris while she was there with Terrence.

“Micha, of course, a pleasure to see you again and in the States!”

“I was pleased that Terrence invited me! And it is nice to be here for a pleasurable event, and not just straight meetings!”

“Of course,” Eliza smiled, and turned to Rafe “This is my fiancé Rafe.”

“A pleasure to meet you Micha, and Terrence is it?” Rafe said.

Terrence nodded, and extended his hand to Rafe. The cocktail banter continued a bit more, until Terrence gave Eliza a return tight smile.

“He wants to fuck you.” Rafe said so plainly, Eliza almost choked on her scotch.

“Sorry?”

“I mean, I am not surprised—a lot of your male colleagues clearly want to—but he was with this Micha and he could not stop staring at you. I am sure if you check his pants, he is getting probably hard as fuck.”

“Rafe!”
She was not sure how to act, as she looked at Terrence out of the corner of her eye.

“Liza, you are not with me because I do not tell you the straight deal.”

He gulped his scotch like water, and her insides quivered from the truth and hidden passion.
