Once in a Lifetime Ch. 02

"Today's Friday. I forgot to tell you we have casual Fridays."

"Huh" She whirled around and saw him looking directly at her.

Oh he's talking to me. "Is that why you're not in your rich man suit?" she teased.

Smiling the panty dropper smile again he clasped both hands on top of the desk and said "You got jokes huh?"

YES! We're getting somewhere. Wait, calm down it's just a random conversation she thought.

Turning around to say something witty she was interupted by the elevator.

DIIIING!!! At the sound of the elevator coming up Teyani turned around and lo and behold. Who steps out of the elevator during a quintessential bonding moment...his wife! What a wonderful way to remind her of her place.

Mentally abusing herself she thought, Way to go T. How quickly you forget he's married.

Putting on her fake smile and her fake voice she waits for Chareese to get a little closer "Good morning Mrs. Graham, how are you?"

"I'm alright" she says as she breezes by without a glance at Teyani.

Big headed bitch.

The screen saver on Teyani's computer chose that moment to come on and she watched Chareese walk behind Jag's desk and kiss him in the most passionate way. She didn't even say hi to him, just jumped right down his tonsils. He pushed his chair back and grabbed her around the waist at the same time she spread her legs and sat down on his lap...The same lap Teyani accidentally landed in. Feeling a little jealous she tried to reason with herself.

That's her husband she can do what she pleases. Well it shoudn't be happening at the work place. Nobody wants to see all that nastiness. Some things should just stay private. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want me touching myself at the desk...but I bet Jag wouldn't mind watching.

Not wanting to be caught looking at them she turned around, moved the mouse and got back to work.

After a while she could hear them talking and laughing. There he goes laughing again. SO maybe that's who he was on the phone with. Feeling bad because they seemed genuinely happy in their relationship and here's a woman not 50 feet away lusting after this lady's husband. Becoming ashamed all over again she tried to shake herself out of it. Wanting to get away from them for a minute, Teyani went down the hall to the break room and bought some Skittles. Walking slow as shit on the way back, she saw Mrs. Rudeness leaving.

Making it to her desk and about to sit down she hears "Teyani"

Turning around, Teyani walks into Jag's office. "Yes?"

"I never got to ask you, how are you enjoying this new city being fresh out of college and all?"

Oh, now you want to have a conversation with me when I decide to stop mentally undressing you. Fuckin'poetic. "Uhm it's nice I think, I haven't really done much yet." she said

"You have a car what's your excuse to not get out and explore baby girl"

Not dwelling on the use of "baby girl" because this is the south everyone is some kind of endearing name here right? But still Trying not to show how much her body was enjoying his Cajun accent she stammered "I- I don't like driving through heavy traffic. I just got my license so I'm not too comfortable with other cars on the road yet."

He gave her a look that said: Really, that's the fuckin' excuse you gave yourself.

Having an immediate flashback of the last traffic jam she was in, she grew mortified for a split second thinking he knew all about what she did to him in her mind...and what she did to herself in reality. Then he spoke.

"Well, my wife just cancelled lunch 'cause she had some stuff to take care of. I can show you some decent places to eat if you want? I'll drive." he offered

"That's cool with me, all I've been eating is fast food."

Grabbing her jacket rom her desk, Jag stayed behind his desk, picked up his office phone, had the briefest conversation then hung up and they both walk to the elevator.

He pressed the button to the basment garage and when his personal elevator came up he said "After you." Dutifully keeping his eyes straight ahead the whole time he calmly stepped in after her. When the doors closed, her scent surrounded him. Most women love the perfumes with the flowery smells or something sophisticated like Chanel No 5. This little lady, loved fruity perfume. Jag never really thought about the types of perfume his wife loved. He just knew she smelled good. She smelled like a woman. Teyani on the other hand, smelled delicious, edible and that could become a problem. It made her stand out a little more. He couldn't put her into a category most women go into. She wasn't a complete tomboy because she wore heels (even though she can barely walk in them). She definitely wasn't a girly girl. She was something new and fresh. He would have to make a category all for her. It excited him a little to figure her out.

The doors to the elevator opened to the garage and they were greeted with the ugly orangish light that most parking garages have and the silence that come with taking an early lunch. Jag pulled his keys out of his pocket and pressed the unlock button. Teyani quickly followed behind him. The car that lit up was almost as gorgeous as he was. It was a 2 door sport style silver Acura NSX 2016. He opened her side and she got in. Walking around the car he got in also.

Noticing he didn't buckle his seatbelt she inwardly smiled and thought, I too like to live life on the edge. I knew he was a bad boy.

Not buckling hers either she decided to play the bad girl in an adventurous game of being his partner in crime.

"What you in the mood for?" Jag asks as they got on the interstate.

"Italian food" She automatically blurted out.

With one hand on the wheel he looked at her a lot longer than he should have, to be the one driving " I like that."

"What?" she asked.

"I like how you knew exactly what you wanted when I asked. I know a place you'll like."

About 20 minutes later they pulled up to this decent sized building with some Italian name she had no way of pronouncing.

They walked in and were immediately seated which impressed Teyani because there were a few people still waiting to be seated and she knew for a fact those people had gotten there first. The waiter told them about the house specials and left a menu, starting them off with bread and butter before saying he would be back to take their order shortly.

"Do you come here a lot?" Teyani asked.

"Yeah but I don't usually come here on weekdays. Why you ask" said Jag

"Seems like you have the place on lock. We didn't even have to wait when we got here."

"I called in and told them I wanted to reserve a spot. This is one of those restaurants where if you come here enough, you get put on a V.I.P list with no waiting."

"Oh."

Smiling Jag said "What kind of "oh"is that?"

Trying her hardest to ignore his smile she said "It was an I did not know that because I eat fast food and cereal "oh"."

"We have to break you out of that habit then, can't have you wasting away." he teased.

Slowly smiling back she looked down at her lap, then thought about how seductive that might have seemed so she immediately looked back up attempting to do something unseductive so he wouldn't think she was doing it on purpose.

Grabbing a piece of bread she buttered it up and started chewing, looking at anything but him.

Studying her nervous "avoid eye contact" behavior he wondered if she had a boyfriend. She always seemed so shy around him. He hoped he didn't make her uncomfortable but at the same time that's what she get for teasing his dick the other day. He wondered how she could be so shy if she graduated college. Didn't she get wild, go to parties, fuck a lot. College had a way of fuckin' the shyness out of the good girls.

The waiter chose to come by as he was about to bluntly ask her if she was wild in college.

"Have you guys figured out which delicious plate you want served to you yet or do you need more time?"

"You good little mama or you need more time?" Jagasked her

Quickly looking for the cheapest thing on the menu she ordered, "I'm ready. May I get the Chicken Alfredo with extra sauce and the Ceasar salad with ranch dressing please?"

After writing down her order the waiter turned to Jag.

"I'll have the Baked Ziti with extra sauce on the side and salad with Itaian dressing."

"Coming right up, would you like some more

biscuits also?" The waiter asked looking at the both of us.

"Yeah" they say simultaneously.

Sitting there thinking of ways to start the conversation back up while waiting on the bread Teyani says, "So how did you enjoy college?"

Looking up from his phone Jag slid it back in his pocket answering, "I fuckin' loved college. It was fun being able to go to class because I felt like it or driving off and not having to let anybody know when I was coming back. The freedom was the best part of it all."

"Did you like any of the classes or you went for the full college experience?"

Smiling like he had a secret he says in a quiet voice "Both. People think I don't like to learn. I love learning. Science was pretty cool. I liked studying the way the body reacts to certain shit under duress, sexual frustration or when people are on drugs. History is a close second. If I could take classes that deal with nothing but war I probably would have got an A+."

Feeling more relaxed with him she opened up a bit, "You know, I saw you the other day looking out the window. Something about the way you were staring down at the city made me think about you as a Roman emperor conquering kingdoms or a Viking pillaging villages. You had that face like nothing would please you more than to bring a village to it's knees...kind of scary now that I think about it. Do you want to conquer villages?"

Giving her a blank stare for about three seconds he answered " So you just have a whole life and a half set up for me in your head huh?"

Horrified he thought she put too much detail in a fictitious lifestyle that only existed in her head, she tried to clean it up "Uhm no that all happened within the two seconds I glanced at you, which isn't very long when you have a very...vivid..imagination. And I wasn't openly staring while you weren't aware I glanced up- This really isn't helping me look sane is it? Annnnd now I'm rambling. I'll just shut up now."

Laughing a deep, loooong genuine laugh he finally calms down and says "I was just fuckin' with you little lady. You don't have to explain, I understand kids have crazy imaginations."

Sucking her teeth at how nonchalant he was being after putting her in the hot seat she was slightly embarrassed still and had a bit of an attitude about it "Well ya jokes suck so don't quit the day job little man."

Eyes growing dark and challenging, "You wanna say that shit from my side of the table baby girl?" he offered.

Getting wet from the look he shot her with those gorgeous smoldering eyes she reminded herself he wasn't thinking on the line she was, so she decided to tease back with old man jokes.

"You don't want that problem. I don't want you to hurt yourself or throw your back out."

Before he had a vicious retort to come back with their food arrived.

"Oh look saved by the food, the Emperor will live to conquer another city just not mine...because he's not strong enough." she whispered the last part.

Deciding to let her get away with a one time only freebie off the grounds that she didn't fully comprehend how extreme he could get when asserting dominance playfully or not.

She definitely had a mouth on her. One he knew how he would put to good use if she were to ever challenge him after she got to know him. Watching her slurp the noodles off her plate, he thought about her question. "Do you want to conquer villages?" The things he could have said but didn't. She might have ran off to hide if he hadn't put the filter on his lips and stayed silent. Conversations with this girl had just become interesting. Miss. Jacobsen was awakening feelings he hadn't had since middle school. She didn't know him yet. Sinisterly smiling to himself he thought about all the tricks he had up his sleeve to get to her and suddenly he was looking forward to coming to work everyday.

Once they were finished eating the waiter brought the check over and Jag immediately snatched it up saying, "I got it."

Pouting she said, "Okay but I owe you lunch money.

He dismissed what she said with the single raise of an eyebrow.

After paying they got up from the table and the waiter said "You and the Mrs. have a wonderful afternoon."

Heat rushed to her face and ears.

Correcting him she said "Oh no we're not together." but he either didn't hear her or didn't care because he collected their plates and headed- speaking of didn't hear...She hadn't heard Jag rush to correct him.

Looking up at Jag, she noticed he had a predatory glint in his eye when he looked at her and it did nothing but fuel the fire he started in her. Now, there was no mistaking the sexual tension in the air between them. Getting in his car and heading back to work they rode in silence during the trip. Letting the music do the talking.

****

Walking back through the garage with the boss was a little power trippy for Teyani. Once they entered the building it was like everyone saw a celebrity. Employees were saying hi or giving Jag "I want him" looks and she noticed some women shooting daggers at her. I wonder how they look at him when he's with his aggressive assed wife, Teyani thought.

Taking his private elevator back to the top floor was a relief...Until the elevator doors closed and they began the slow silent journey up.

Feeling like she had to say something to disrupt the weird silence she started with "Thank you for the lunch, it was delicious." FUCK maybe delicious wasn't the right word. Does anybody even use the word delicious while in the elevator with a sexually volatile man? No, because they're smart.

Slowly turning his head and looking down at her Jag says "You really need a different perfume because YOU smell delicious..."

Heart beating faster than it needed to and feeling little butterflies in her stomach she looked up and tried to pretend to be as normal as possible, her voice came out no higher than a whisper, "I won't wear anything tomorrow."

That did not come out how she meant it. Fuck! She hoped he didn't think she was trying to be vulgar.

Moving closer to her and pushing himself off the elevator wall with his foot, raising his hands on each side of her head the slightest amount of air seperating their bodies from touching. He leans in close enough to brush against the front of her skirt with the print of his di- DIIIIING!!!!!!!!!

The elevator doors opened, knocking the moment loose yet again. Backing away from her very slowly until he's standing in the doorway, he looks at her with pure curiosity in his eyes.

Breathing shallowly and looking up at the man who has officially earned a spot in her imagination as The Conqueror she anticipates his next move.

In a low voice he says, "You say I'm dangerous, but I know what I'm capable of. You don't realize how seductive you are, and that's more dangerous than anything. Men have gone to war over women like you, Teyani."

Leaving her breathless and speechless against the elevator wall, she was reeling from what he had just said to her.
