Monday morning rolled around and Ororo was reluctant to go work. All weekend she had been dreading walking into the office. She still hadn't figured out who it was she had spent the night with. It had to be one of the guys that worked there. She mentally filled through the faces of her male coworkers, trying to make any connection with no luck. She had been reckless and let herself get into this situation she would have to deal with the consequences. She sighed taking a quick shower then donned her usual black wig and contacts and rushed out the house.
She walked into the office head down, by passing her usual stop at Betty's desk. She went straight to her office and shut the door. She didn't want to speak to anyone, she might have looked different but maybe someone had recognized her or Betty had told her secret. Hopefully not, Betty liked to gossip but for some reason she trusted her not to tell anyone who that tall platinum headed beauty had been.
It was four when she finally finished her work. No one had come to talk to her; she didn't hear any mentions of the other night. Well they had talked about how good the party had been. One guy mention the new hire that was at the party but hadn't come to work today. She was very optimistic that no one knew her true identity…
"Emily!"
She frowned, just when she thought she was in the clear, "hey Betty." She turned to the girl with the best smile she could muster.
"So I see you found a new friend Em, what happened?" Betty perched herself on her desk, the bright pink top she wore revealing her cleavage.
Ororo looked at her, she must have seen who she had left with, and maybe she could tell her who it was she had slept with, "A new friend? I do not think I know what you are talking about Betty." She turned back to her paperwork feigning innocence.
"Don't lie to me Em, I seen you leaving the party with someone. Who was it and what did you guys do I want all the details!"
"Shhhhhh," she hissed, she didn't need the whole office knowing her business. She didn't want to break her persona she had going. "Keep your voice down." She glanced around, to see if anyone had heard Betty, "To be honest I don't remember what happened, everything is so fuzzy, it's like the whole night is a blur. Only thing I remember is getting to the party and then drinking the punch."
Emily tried to stifle a giggle, "How did you like it, my own special cocktail."
Ororo frowned at her, she was the cause of all this trouble, "It was good, maybe too good Betty. But as I was saying I was hoping you could tell me who I left with."
Betty sat up a pout of her pink tinged lips deep in thought for a moment she had seen when Emily left, but to be honest she had been a little tipsy, so the guys face wasn't that pronounced in her mind. She only knew it was Emily because of the white wig she had been wearing, "Sorry Em but I don't know. It couldn't be too hard to find out who it was though, there are only a handful of cute guys here at work. And even you have some kind of standards right?"
Ororo shook her head, just because she didn't go around flaunting herself didn't mean she couldn't get a man and would jump into bed with anyone. "So then what do you think I should do?"
She shrugged, "Ask the guys…"
"What!? Like I am going to go through the employee list and ask every single guy if they slept with me. You got to be kidding."
"You're smart, you'll figure something out and when you do let me know who it is. By the way Emily," she paused stopping at the door, " if you could look like how you did at the party then why do you walk around looking so…" she paused trying to find the right word, "unattractive."
Ororo sighed, why had she told her who she was? "Because I want to be taken seriously."
Betty rolled her eyes, "Yeaaa…. ok Em, anyways keep me updated. Oh I forgot Charles wants to see you in his office."
"Don't you think you should have told me that first Betty?"
Betty shrugged and walked away.
"You wanted to see me Mr. Xavier?" she walked in slowly aware that he had company.
"Yes Emily. As you know we had a mandatory party Friday night and you happened to be the only one that didn't show up. I understand that you don't like parties but when it's mandatory you are expect to at least show your face for a few minutes."
She glanced at Charles she couldn't tell him she had been there, he just hadn't recognized her. "I'm sorry Charles something important came up…"
"No excuses Emily, I cannot make an exception for you when everyone else found the time to show up. I didn't expect you to stay the whole night just make an appearance that's it."
"I know I am sorry, Charles it will not happen again."
"Good, let's forget about it. I want you to meet the new VP Emily. He will be evaluating us for a few weeks." He turned towards the other man "Emily this is James Howlett, James this is Emily Munroe."
Logan stood stretching his hand out to her, "You can call me Logan."
She stared at his hand for a second then shook it, his fingers brushed against hers and a tingle went up her spine.
"Emily?"
Ororo glanced from one man to another, then to her hand. She could still feel the warmth of it until she realize that she was still holding his hand, " Sorry," she laughed nervously, letting his hand go. "I guess I spaced out for a second there. It's very nice to meet you Logan. I look forward to working with you. Now if you will excuse me I have a few things to do before I leave today." What in the world had she been thinking clinging to his hand like her only life source?
"Not so fast Emily."
She had been halfway to the door when he stopped her. She frowned turning around, "Yes Mr. Xavier."
"In light of you missing the party and to make up for it, I would like you to show Mr. Howlett around for me. He wants to do some sight-seeing while he is here in town but doesn't want to go alone."
Ororo frowned she defiantly couldn't do it, she couldn't be in such close proximity with him. She couldn't risk him finding out, "I can't do it Charles, but I could get Betty to. She knows this place a lot better than I do."
Charles shook his head, "No excuses Emily."
She nodded downtrodden, just her luck "Yes sir." She turned to Logan, "I just have a few things to finish up here and then we can leave if you would like."
"Actually why don't ya go home now, change and I'll pick ya up say around 6?" For the first time in a few minutes Logan spoke.
"Umm, I…" Charles cleared his throat and Ororo sighed, "Ok." She wrote her address and gave it to him, a frown stuck on her face. This was not happening.
-Later that evening-
She had changed yet she looked exactly the same. She didn't have many clothes other than her business suits and sleepwear. She had changed her wig though to one with some waves. She stared at herself in the mirror this was the best it was going to be. When the doorbell rang she glanced at herself once more spritzed a little perfume on her wrist and answered it.
Logan stood there in a faded jeans and a tee shirt. A too tight t-shirt she thought.
"Hello Logan, would you like to come in for some tea?"
"Nah was thinking some sight-seeing first then dinner if ya ok with that."
Ororo nodded, "that's fine let me just get my purse." Hopefully the time would go by fast and she could go home having fulfilled Charles demand.
"Ya not gonna change?" Logan stared at her, what she was wearing looked like what she had left in. He scowled what was she doing?
"I did change." She frowned what the hell did he want for her.
"Into something more casual, Emily is it?"
"Yea its Emily." She wanted to scream at him, what gave him the right to tell her how to dress? "Let me see if I can find something else to wear then since this isn't to your liking." She escorted him to the living room and went to her room.
She tore through her closet finding an old pair of jeans and what looked to be a button down shirt. She switched wigs putting it up into a ponytail. This was as 'casual' as it comes. When she walked out he was staring at the pictures on the mantle. Luckily none included her. "How is this Logan?"
Logan turned around and was taken aback for a second. The jeans clung to her long shapely legs, the shirt wasn't as tight but he could see the shape of her breast and the little peak of cleavage made his mouth water. Just as he thought she did have a body underneath the ugly clothes she had been wearing.
"That's fine, ya ready now?"
-Later-
Ororo sat across from him, picking at her food feeling uncomfortable in his presence. He hadn't really needed a guide, half the places they had went to she had never been to before. He knew more about them than she did and she had lived here all her life. He was playing an angle and she wasn't sure what it was. She knew Charles's reason for having her escort him around was bogus, out of all the people in the company he chose her why?
She felt awkward sitting across from him it had been a long time since she had been on a date, which it wasn't, but it sure did feel like one. But the kicker was that it was Logan she was sitting with. The one guy that had ever really called her beautiful when she was Ororo. The one guy that had put butterflies in her stomach just at the sight of him. A high school crush she would never admit to. Her first kiss had been taken by him yet he sat across from her totally oblivious that it was her. Did he even remember those days? Remember anything that had transpired between them.
All throughout dinner she caught him staring at her. It didn't seem like he was trying to hide it either, he was openly ogling her which made her feel uncomfortable, yet sent a thrill down her spine. He didn't say much over dinner just watched her, a pensive look on his face. She wanted to scream what are you gawking at but, he was her boss and she couldn't do anything to jeopardize her job.
After dinner he took her home. She had said goodbye to him and waited for him to walk away but he stood there. "You can go now Logan I will be fine."
"I will once I see ya safely inside."
"What a gentleman." She said sarcastically as she rummaged through her purse desperately trying to find her keys. A pang of déjà vu hitting her. She checked her pockets and asked him to check his car which he did. They were nowhere to be found. Things were just going from bad to worse.
"Ya want me to call someone for you?" Logan stood closer to her now. She couldn't concentrate with him so close to her.
Ororo shook her head, they should be here right in her purse…she mentally face palmed they were in her jacket that she had taken off to please him. She sighed and fished out her cell and dialed the property manager. After five minutes on the phone she hung up.
"Everything alright Emily?"
"No." why was everything going so horrible for her? "I won't be able to get in because He can't make it here till tomorrow so could you take me to the nearest Hotel?"
"I got an extra room at my place ya can stay there if ya want to." He opened the door for her and she slid into his car.
"Thanks but I shouldn't you already treated me to dinner I would feel bad…"
"Nah aint no big deal." He cut her off driving away.
Ororo stared at the surroundings a strange feeling of déjà vu consuming her. Even though it was dark the building seemed familiar as if she had been there before. She couldn't think of any time she had driven though this area, it was more of an upscale area way out of any budget she had. He let her into his house and another wave of it hit her. Maybe this was Charles house and Logan was staying there while he was in town or something. She cleared her head and followed him.
"This is your house Logan?"
"No I just happen to find da keys on the way up."
"Make ya self at home." He walked off down a hallway and she took a seat on one of the couches. Her mind spinning in circles. Why hadn't she been more adamant about staying somewhere else? She really shouldn't be here in his house alone with him. She would just sleep and leave early then avoid Logan like a plague from now on.
She was lost in thought when Logan walked back out, his shirt gone his hair wet the water glistened on his skin defining all his muscles. She turned away from him blushing. Why didn't he have a shirt on? She took a quick peek at him, he was built no way he didn't work out every day.
"Done with the shower if ya wanna use it. I left a few of my shirts in there for ya. Maybe one will fit ya."' He sat by her handing her a cup and she jumped up.
"Sorry I'm not thirsty." She tried to sound as calm as possible but him being so close to her half naked was doing something to her equilibrium. If it's one thing she shouldn't do is lust after her boss. "I'll just go to bed, thank you again for this Logan."
He watched her for a second like he wanted to say something but thought better of it and disappeared down the hall. She followed in the direction he went to the first room it was bare with only a huge bed in the middle. This must be the guest room. She closed the door and went to the small bathroom. She couldn't sleep in her contacts they irritated her eyes to much and she would have to go a few days without them if she did. She fished the case out of her purse and slowly took out the lenses. The wig was going to stay though. That's the last thing she wanted, Logan walking into the room and seeing her sans wig.
She flipped off the switch and laid in bed staring at the ceiling. The house was completely quiet Logan must have gone to bed already she should be sleeping but she couldn't. He was just a few doors away from her. She couldn't sleep like this her body wouldn't let her. The simple touch of his arm on hers had put her body on alert. She closed her eyes burying her head into the pillow and waited for sleep to overtake her.
"MMM" Ororo moaned quietly, holding his head onto her breast, his finger slipped beneath the waist band of her panties and gently touched her. Ororo sighed in bliss as his fingers expertly teased her…she knew this was a dream but it felt so good she wished she would never wake up. "Logan…" his fingers played against her flesh bringing her closer and closer to the peak of ecstasy, she dug her fingers into his hair as she came her back arched off the bed the feeling of pure pleasure washing over her body. As the feeling subsided her breathe coming back her eyes flew open. She blinked a few times the dark room greeting her.
As she thought it had been just a dream…
"Didn't know ya could be so loud Emily."
Ororo sat up straight in bed, was she still dreaming? She pinched herself and grunted no she was awake then why in the hell was she hearing his voice? She turned slowly afraid of what she would see and just as she thought, Logan laid next to her naked as the day he was born. A blush spread across her cheeks as she got up pulling the sheet with her.
"Lo...Logan...what are...what are you doing here?" she squeezed her eyes shut, no no no this was all wrong. He shouldn't be here, she ran her hand across her face the sheet dropping from around her.
"What's the matter Em?"
"What do you think is wrong here Logan, couldn't possibly be that you're in my room feeling me up could it?" she said sarcastically picking up the sheet again and wrapping it haphazardly around her body.
"Actually Darlin' this is my room, 'side a second ago ya were beggin for it." Logan sat up in bed and Ororo tried to turn her gaze away yet she couldn't. He was hard and thick, and the pale light of the moon just so happened to pick that one part of his body to illuminate. She stared at it unable to look away.
"I was… I was sleeping; I thought I was dreaming..."
"So ya usually dream about me then?" she could hear the laughter in his voice and she wanted to throw something at him. She knew he was smirking she could tell he had the most self-satisfied look on his face.
"That's not what I meant Logan. We…you should know better, you cannot just go around sleeping with your employees!"
"It's not like a make a habit of it, anyways I don't want any of the other ones I want you." He stepped closer to her and she stepped back away from the little light in the room.
She wasn't wearing her contacts, her eyes would be a dead giveaway. She should leave and find the right bedroom, but she was rooted in the spot. He wanted her. He had just said that right? "We shouldn't Logan…"
"Don't worry Darlin' I don't kiss and tell aint nobody gotta know about it but us, b'sides I know you want it and I want it, what's the big deal."
What is the big deal? His words echoed in her mind. Why was she fighting this so much? He wanted her and she defiantly wanted him. She glanced at him, her eyes trailing down his treasure trail to where his cock jutted out between his thick thighs. Oh yes did she want him, she was a woman and a woman had needs, that justified it right?
She dropped the sheet she had been using to cover herself and walked over to him, and kissed him. It was shy and tentative at first. She explored his lips, she could taste a hint of a sweet beer on them. Her hand traced his forearm then his chest running over the hard muscles, following the trail to his cock. She brushed against it hesitantly at first, it felt like she thought it would, hard and full of power. She stroked it slowly, trying to find her rhythm, her fingers ran over it light as a feather then with more pressure.
She watched him as she slowly tortured him with the slow movements his eyes were close his head thrown back. She smirked to herself as she increased the pressure stroking his cock faster, feeling the slickness of his precum on her fingertips. She leaned in and kissed his neck then bit it softly. He let out a grunt and she felt the heat of his cum on her fingertips.
She watched as his breathing calmed he looked so damn sexy like that his dick was still rock hard a smirk on his face. He picked her up and threw her onto the bed, getting in on top of her, "Ya little wild cat,"
She closed her eyes, letting the pleasure he was giving her take her away, she was going to enjoy herself tonight and tomorrow….well she would worry about it then.
