“He lives about twenty minutes from here.”
“C’mon.” Robert grabbed hold of her hand and led her towards his car. “I can take you home.” Katy opened her mouth to say something, but Robert silenced her by raising his hand. “I don’t want to hear you protesting. You’re not gonna wait for who knows how long for your friend to pick you up in an empty parking lot at night.” They stared at each other for a moment before Robert opened the passenger side door and gestured for her to get inside.
“Thank you, Mr. Callahan.” Katy smoothed down her skirt as she got inside. Robert closed the door before getting in himself. “Would you like for me to Google Maps my home?” They buckled their seat belts.
“Sure.”
Robert pulled out of the parking spot as Katy typed in her address. She lived a few blocks from Robert and Linda’s own home, about ten minutes away. Robert turned down a road heavily surrounded by trees.
“You know,” Robert said, “I think Mr. Baxter is warming up to the company.” Katy smiled. “Keep giving him that coffee, and he might sign the deal.”
“Quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” They both laughed.
Robert looked at her. “I’m pretty sure it’s with a ten inch knife.” Katy laughed harder. Something moved in his peripheral vision. He turned back to the road. A large ten point buck stood in the road, just staring at them. Robert slammed on the breaks. His right arm swung out. The car stopped just short of the buck. Their hearts pounded. The buck continued to stare at them. Robert turned to Katy. “Are you okay?”
Katy nodded faintly. “Mr. Callahan?”
“Yes?” She fell silent, turning her head to look at him. Katy raised her hand and covered his. Only then did he look down to see where his hand had landed. His hand, once pressed firmly, rested over her right breast. Robert’s mouth went dry. He raised his gaze. Her lips looked soft, almost delicate. Her breast felt nice in his hand. He leaned closer slightly.
The buck dashed off into the woods. Robert fell back into his seat.
“I’m sorry,” Robert said, removing his hand and tearing his gaze from her.
The rest of the drive was filled with an awkward silence. Robert, unsure of whether to acknowledge him touching the breast of his intern who was over a decade younger than him or to ignore it as if it never happened, kept his focus on the road.
He pulled into her apartment parking lot.
“Thank you, Mr. Callahan.” Katy unbuckled and turned to him. He didn’t meet her gaze. She frowned. “Don’t beat yourself up about it.” She placed a hand on his thigh. He looked up at her. “I’m not gonna hold it against you, okay?”
Robert forced a smile. “Thanks.” He placed a hand over hers and moved with her hand up and down his thigh. They continued to stare at each other.
“I should go,” Katy said, pulling her gaze away from him.
“Would you like for me to stay? Until you get to your apartment?”
“Sure. If you’d like.” Robert nodded slightly. Katy removed her hand. “I live in that apartment.” Robert followed her finger to an apartment window on the fourth floor. “I’ll wave at you when I get there.”
“Okay. I’ll be here.”
Katy smiled at him. “Thanks again, Mr. Callahan.”
“It’s no problem.” Katy opened her door and stepped out, closing the door behind her. Robert watched as she disappeared in the apartment complex. It only took another minute for the light to turn on and for Katy to appear in the window. Robert smiled. Katy waved at him as he waved back. They stared at each other for a moment before Katy stepped from the window and disappeared into her apartment.
Robert felt his heart race slightly in his chest. He still felt her soft flesh in his hand. His cock ached in his trousers. Robert closed his eyes, trying to calm himself.
His phone rang. He frowned when Linda’s name popped up on the screen. “Hey, Linda. I’m–.”
“Where the hell are you?!”
Robert frowned harder. “I’m almost home.”
“You’ve been gone forever.”
“I’ll be home in about ten minutes.”
“You said that you’d be back now.”
Robert rubbed his face. “Yes. I’m sorry, but I ended up dropping off Katy cause–.”
“Katy?!”
Robert huffed. “Yes. She–.”
“What were you doing with Katy?”
Robert clenched his jaw. “If you’d let me finish.” He heard Linda huff on the other line. “She was waiting for a friend who wasn’t answering her. I took her home cause it’s already seven pm, and it’s forty degrees outside.”
“Well. Seeing how you like to spend time with other people, I think it’s only right for me to do the same.”
Robert rolled his eyes. “I’m not sleeping with her. It was just a ride home.”
“Don’t lie to me.”
Robert huffed again. “I’m not lying. All I did was drop her off.” Linda scoffed. Robert felt his neck and face grow hot. “You know, this is exactly why we are drifting. You call me, and the first thing you do is yell at me. I can never get a word in edgewise. This is why I don’t want to come home half the time or spend time with you. All you ever do is yell at me.”
Linda fell silent. Robert could feel her hatred through the phone.
“Really?” Linda asked finally.
“Yes.”
“Well, then. If you really don’t want me around, I’ll go somewhere else.”
“Lin–.” She hung up on him. Robert scowled. “Fuck me.” He threw his phone down on the floorboard. He huffed once again.
The drive home was a short one, filled with an angry silence. When Robert pulled into the driveway, he noticed that Linda’s car, a burgundy Chevy Camaro, was gone. He sighed.
The house was quiet when he stepped inside. Better than being nagged. He wandered into the kitchen to find the Thai food still sitting in its containers. Robert frowned. Though it had been hours since his last meal, his appetite eluded him. He set aside his phone and put the food into the refrigerator. Then he turned and headed for the bathroom to shower, undressing quickly.
The hot steam only took a minute to slowly start filling up the bathroom. He hissed in a breath as he stepped inside the tub. Robert closed his eyes.
All the images that appeared behind his eyelids were that of Katy.
Sweet, kind Katy making delicious cups of coffee. With her breasts, hips, and ass waiting for him to touch them.
Robert opened his eyes. His cock had grown hard against his thigh. The head weeping, aching to be touched. His breath grew heavy. He gripped the base of his cock. He closed his eyes again.
He wondered how soft her skin and lips would be. How much of his hands would her breasts fill. Would she like it gentle or–? A hand in her hair, gripping a handful, pulling her head back. He stroked himself even faster. Or maybe. He grew harder in his hand as the image of a pregnant Katy popped in his head. Her breasts, stomach, and hips growing from anticipation for the baby. His baby.
He groaned through his teeth as he came hard in his hand. His eyes shot open. The thick white strings of come were washed away down the drain by the pouring water. He swallowed thickly.
Robert felt his heart grow heavy, sinking deep into his stomach.
Slowly, he lowered himself in the tub, allowing the water to wash over him until it grew cold and left him shivering.
