I will never forget it. I was headed to my cubicle to begin the daily grind when I saw Him. This tall, athletically-built absolutely delicious man standing with a gaggle of my giggling female co-workers wearing a smile that would make even the most chaste spread their legs.
I've seen many aesthetically pleasing people as a result of living in a place that serves up hotties like a buffet, but my eyes hadn't ever been so captivated. I immediately felt a warm steady flow gush down my leg. Despite my voracious appetite, I was very vanilla at the time, but not shy or easily intimidated. At that particular moment however, I was quite alarmed by my reaction.
My heart was racing, presumably from anxiety as if everyone was tuned in to the condition of my undergarments. I turned right around and hurried off to the bathroom to clean myself off trying to dismiss that experience as anything other than what it was.
I returned to my cubicle a few minutes later feeling annoyed at how ridiculous it was to react like that without even an introduction, "hello" or "good morning." We hadn't said a word to each other. Determined not to get distracted, I buried myself in my work until lunch. Upon leaving my desk, who came strolling around the corner? Of course, there He was again! Trouble radiated from Him like a strobe light. Seeing Him from a distance was provocative enough, but when our eyes met I thought I might melt off my chair. Oh my wickedness...those beautiful blue eyes with that "get over here and fuck me" gaze. Again! My body made a pool between my thighs. It took every ounce of willpower I had not to grab Him, push Him against the wall and have my way, but I was in a very monogamous relationship and didn't want to damage it. So, I spent the next few years avoiding Him at all cost.
That's right...years. Years of being turned on and mildly irritated at the same time. I'm not sure if I was upset with myself for holding back or disgruntled with Him for being so damn sexy. Thankfully, He wasn't present often and we didn't work directly with each other.
I eventually left that job for greener pastures and it wasn't until about 5 years later when my relationship was ending that I decided to hunt down the man who made me wet at first sight. The man who would shove me out of my comfort zone, release me from my demons, and become someone I share a unique dynamic with unlike anyone else.
