Chapter Two
So, a couple weeks passed. Not surprisingly, Kenshin and I were getting along great at this point. I loved being around him a lot. He's a very intelligent, worldly person full of experience and information. Let's not forget the fact that he found me quite interesting, also. He told me he had never known a female who was into sports and video games as much as he was. As a matter of fact, I beat him mercilessly in latest Soul Caliber. We took a long lunch at the arcade up the street. Imagine the surprise of the school-aged kids to see two adults in full suits playing video games. My best friend found it quite amusing, also.
"You've finally found someone to make you act your age," Megumi teased.
I rolled my eyes as I brought my glass of wine to my lips and sipped the semi-sweet liquid. The music in the restaurant was soothing, the lighting soft and low, but Megumi ruined all that with her sharp laughter. After kicking her with my pointed-toe pumps, she finally calmed down and reduced her barking to a chuckle. She brushed her bluntly cut, dark hair behind her slightly pointed ears and patted my hand, as if it were to calm my anger.
"Surely, Megumi, I can't take you anywhere...or tell you anything," I finally replied.
"Well, I have never heard you talk about one of your prospects so much, nor has it taken you so much time to bed him," she purred. "Shoot, if he wasn't married, I'd go after him, too...but I wouldn't take as long as you."
I wanted to just hit her sometimes. Yes, she was my best friend, but she could be an annoying bitch at times. That was one of those times. Alright, so it was true. It usually only took me no longer than a week to charm a guy out of his boxer-briefs. It had been two with Kenshin and I hadn't even kissed him. I had little more flirtd with him, actually. I liked flirting with him. I liked being coy and him being so unsuspecting. I could lie and say it was all a part of my master plan. Well, that wouldn't be a complete lie...but something about him just made me smile.
"Well, he is a challenge, but you definitely couldn't get him. You're not his type," I said to Megumi. She snarled and folded her arms tightly.
"Yeah, I'm too classy for him," she shot back.
See, that's the type of shit I was talking about. Just one good pop to the mouth I'd like to give her. Just one.
"Oh, no. You are just a boring tease. You flash the goods, but never give it up. You're just as evil as I am," I replied, putting some money on the table dressed with fine, cream-colored linen. "I have to get back to the office and work on the O'Nelly case. It's getting to crunch time and we're still working on his defense.
"Good luck with that one. I think even the great Kamiya Kaoru may need it this time," she said, raising her glass to me as I left.
And I thought I was a sarcastic bitch. Well, you know what they say, "Birds of a feather..." Megumi was definitely a kindred spirit, but her days of playing were over when she met this rugged, loud, arrogant prick named Sanosuke. They did nothing but argue when they first met and pretended they hated each other, which actually meant they were madly in love with each other. You see, Megumi is an ER doctor and she met Sano when he came in with a gunshot wound. He claimed it wasn't gang related...until the rival gang tried to rush into the hospital and finish the job. After many months and much persuasion, she got him to leave the gangster lifestyle and go back to school. She's been all on his jock ever since. I suppose I'm happy for her. I just don't understand the whole "settling down" thing. Doesn't appeal to me.
The afternoon was quite cool and the wind created by the tall buildings of downtown cut straight through my Italian suit. The heels of my pumps clanked on the cold pavement as I walked briskly down the street. The firm was only four blocks away, but it seemed to take forever.
Remind me to shoot the weather man, I thought to myself. Seventy degrees and sunny, my ass. It's about 55 and...shit, did I just feel a raindrop? Oh, this was just fine and dandy. Perhaps this little shower will only last a few moments.
I ducked in the entrance way of a shop closed for the day and just watched the sky fall. Lightning streaked across the sky and thunder rolled, as if laughing at me and teasing me. Damn this all to the pits of hell. I needed to get back to my office, but if I set foot out into this downpour I'd be so drenched I'd have to go home and change. Not to mention I'd probably get sick as a dog. I had already begun to shiver and my lips were beginning to feel cold. I fumbled through my purse to find my cell and called Megumi.
Fucking AT&T. No service.
I threw my cell phone back into my purse and resisted the urge to scream. This was awful. I leaned against the door of the shop and rubbed my arms, trying to warm myself up. The rain was coming down so hard; I could barely see the parking meter on the sidewalk. I had been standing there for about five minutes and the rain showed no sign of letting up. I would probably be here all afternoon and evening if I waited until it got lighter, so I decided to venture out into it. I gasped as the cold liquid quickly soaked me from head to toe.
Alright, I should have just stayed where I was. But, I was already out in it and already soaking wet. I figured I could at least walk until I got to a coffee shop and get some hot tea or something. I got about twenty feet and started shaking like a craps game.
Great, I'll probably get sick, I figured. All I needed was just someone to just pull up and rescue...
"Kaoru, is that you?" I heard a familiar voice call from the street. I turned to see Kenshin in his Lexus with the window rolled down. Impeccable timing. He motioned for me to get in and I quickly complied without even thinking. When inside, I tried to make myself look more presentable. I just looked dripping wet. I wanted to ring out my hair, but not on his soft leather seats.
"I'm sorry, I probably ruined your car," I apologized. He shook his head and drove.
"It's alright. What are you doing out there with no umbrella?" he asked.
"I was leaving Little Rome when it just started raining. I was going to wait for it to stop, but it was going for ten minutes, so I decided to venture out. Well, big..." I began to cough hoarsely. My chest ached when I did, and though he had the heat on blast, I felt cold.
"I think I should take you home," he said, concern laden in his voice.
Aww, he cared. Though, at that moment, I wasn't really concerned about bagging him. I needed to get out of my soaked suit. The wool just absorbed all the water and it clung to my skin. I was quite miserable. Plus, how would I catch him if I caught the flu? Ok, so bedding him was still on my mind.
"Thanks, but I need to stop by my office and pick up..."
"Your laptop and files?" he asked, pointing to the back seat.
To my great surprise, there were my things. How on earth did he know? I couldn't even get the words out, my expression one of shock. He chuckled.
"Call it intuition. If I may confess, I got worried when Carter told me you left an hour ago and hadn't returned since it started raining. I grabbed your things and came out to look for you," he said as if it meant nothing at all.
Yes, at that moment I really saw why he was married. Never had I met someone so considerate, so kind. I found it intriguing and very arousing. I shifted in my seat and cleared my throat, trying to calm down. I had to have this man. I needed to have this man. I had been very patient up to that point. I knew I needed to start making moves.
"I live at 2765 Rustle. Just hop on I-96 and hop off at Middlebelt. First street to the right, second house," I said.
"Oh, live in the burbs," he commented.
I nodded, resting against the heated seats. It was either that or the heat from my body that started to help me feel better.
"Yes. You say it like it's weird. Don't you live in Canton?" I asked. He laughed and nodded.
"You are right, I'm sorry. The wife actually hates the city, but I love it," he replied.
There he goes with the wife again. I can say this is the first man I've met that I couldn't read easily. Most others made themselves quite obvious in a matter of days, but his true feelings remained elusive to me. I had been playing this one very carefully. Too much pressure and he'd back away. Not enough and we'd stay in this state of flirtation forever. I stayed quiet for the remainder of the trip, that was, until I heard a particularly beautiful song coming from the dash. I recognized Luther Vandross' voice, but not the woman he was dueting with.
Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Can never be more than friends
Although all inside, I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
I was enchanted by the song. It was a remake, I knew, of an older song. "The Closer I Get to You" and it was brilliantly done. Very much Grammy material.
"Who's singing with Luther?" I asked, a smile on my face.
"Beyonce," he replied. I would have fallen out of my seat if I could. He meant that girl with the big body, little head and bad weave from Destiny's child? Who would have thought under all that horse-hair, there was actually some talent? I was impressed.
"They sound great together. I'm not one for love-songs or re-makes, but this is awesome," I said, my voice low and lull. He looked over at me and smiled, and I smiled back. It was a nice, warm moment, a moment I enjoyed. A lot.
"Well, here you are," he said, pulling up to my house. "I'll grab your things and walk you to the door."
"Alright," I replied, coming back to reality. This would be a very good opportunity to get him hot, bothered and thinking about me all the time. He walked to the side of the car with my belongings and a huge umbrella. He opened the door and helped me out the car. As we jogged to my front door, I looked in my purse for my keys, found them and turned to Kenshin.
"Well, here you go," he said, handing me my laptop and files.
I pulled my wet hair back and smiled, taking my things into my arm. I tried to put my key in the lock, but dropped them in the process. We both reached down to pick them up and bumped heads and I endd up dropping everything.
"Shit," I said reflexively.
Things were not going very smoothly, but it was almost working out better than if I had planned it. Kenshin hurriedly scooped my things off the wet cement as I finally got my door open. We both rushed inside, gasping as if we just ran a marathon. He noticed a little table in my door entrance and placed my things down. After a couple more moments of catching our breath, we both began to chuckle.
"So, you're home," he said.
"Yeah, I'm home," I replied.
Then, our eyes met again. Ok, ladies, take notes. This is how you seduce a man without saying a word.
I took in a deep breath and tilted my head to the side, still looking at his form. I moved from his face, to his body, and back to his eyes. I put my hand near my collarbone and slid my silk shirt ever so slightly to the side, my eyes low, sexy. I batted my lips, as if I was about to say something, but don't. I lowered my eyes, as if I just thought about something I was ashamed to think. All the while, I was listening to his breaths, hearing if they were increasing, getting faster, harder. They were. Kenshin was breathing hard, and began to walk toward me.
Better than witchcraft.
"Kaoru," he whispered, rubbing my shoulder, coaxing me to look into his eyes. Now, here's the kicker. At this point, you know two things: He is attracted to you and he thinks you are vulnerable. How do you know he's attracted to you? Things happen to a man when he is aroused. If he was just concerned, he would have walked over immediately, without hesitation. But, no, he watched me scan his body. He watched me touch myself. His pulse increased, and we all know what that means. So, while he thinks you are the vulnerable one, he is actually the fly caught in the web.
"Kenshin," I whispered back, nuzzling my cheek against his. I softly kissed his jawbone and I shuddered. Damn, how good that felt! I put my arm around his hard waist and pulled myself closer to him and felt evidence of his arousal. I tiled my head upward to capture his lips, but he slowly backed away and leaned against the opposite wall.
I was smirking on the inside. He could try to resist, but it was only a matter of time.
"I...have to get home. I'll see you tomorrow," he said, making a quick exit to his car. I watched him from my window as he got in his vehicle. He didn't pull off right away. He sat in his car, threw his head against the headrest and sighed. After a few moments of thought, he started the car, looked back to my house and pulled off.
Yes, I had successfully done away with the first barrier...his self-control. I bit my bottom lip and smiled devilishly. How delicious that moment was. I replayed it over and over in my head for the remainder of the evening. I thought about it so much, I barely got anything done. Even better was that I knew he was going through the same level of distraction.
When Kenshin got home, he proceeded to take a long shower, trying his best not to think about his attraction to his sexy coworker. But, nothing truly helped, except digging deeper into work. Before long, Kenshin found himself in front of his laptop, typing away. He looked over at the O'Nelly file and began to thumb through it. Try as he might to focus on the issue at hand, he could not stop thinking about the occurrence earlier in the day.
It never should have happened, he thought.
How could he have been so weak? Yes, he was attracted to her from the moment he saw her, when Carter introduced them. He was a married man. But, it wasn't a sin to be attracted to another woman, right? After all, he worked around attractive women all the time. But none have ever tempted him like she had. None have ever taken over his thoughts, like she had. He liked her, and more than sexually. She was intelligent, funny and a joy to be around. And, though she showed it to no one, there was a youthful exuberance she had that he simply adored. Kenshin thought that she didn't even realize how cute she was when they played video games together and watched anime between reviewing files. She was amazing.
Kenshin closed his eyes and imagined her body against his. Her full, supple lips pursing for him, wanting him. His member grew hard at the mere thought of her, and he began to touch himself through his pants. Then, he felt two arms wrap around him and his eyes shot open. He spun around in his chair to see his wife, smiling.
"I see you're thinking about me," she cooed suggestively.
Kenshin managed to nod and open his arms to his lovely wife. She was only a couple of years younger than he, and so beautiful. Her long, dark hair was fixed in a messy bun, her face free of make-up. One thing that always interested him was her expression. She always appeared so calm, almost sad, even when she was happy. But, she was the joy of his life. He loved her with all his heart. He would not betray her. He could not betray her. They stated vows in front of God, he would not spit on those. Not for anyone. Not for Kaoru.
But, even as his kissed the lips of his wife, pulled her nightshirt up and panties to the side, he couldn't help but to imagine what it would be like if that vixen of a woman was on top of him, kissing him, wanting him.
He wondered.
