Round One

As he surveys the extravagant ballroom, Alexander Grahams's gaze lands on Natalie Davis. Even through the throngs of guests at the company's annual gala, his eyes lock on her delectable figure—narrow waist, wide hips and an ample bosom. Her sensuous lips curved into a small smile as she turns toward his direction. Alexander's eyes glaze as he catches her large green eyes looking his way. Without hesitation he moves to approach her, passing the crowds of people scattered across the large room. Finally reaching his destination, he smirks and greets the apple of his eye.

"Hello Natalie," he addresses with his voice in a low timber. "Lovely dress, is it silk?"

"Alexander," she acknowledges. "As a matter of fact, it is silk. I would offer you feel the fabric, but that would be inappropriate."

"Do you enjoy teasing me?" Alexander growls which elicits a smirk from Natalie.

"Do enjoy the party, won't you Alexander? I must go mingle," she says coyly, swaying her hips as she walks away.

Natalie's heart was pounding as she walked away. She would have to be blind not to notice how amazing Alexander Graham looked in his tux. It brought out his cloudy grey eyes and defined jawline. Her breath hitched as soon as she saw him looking at her across the room. Unknowingly, she sent him the signal to approach her. As soon as Alexander was in front of her, her mind blanked. In the moment she flirted with him, only to be embarrassed by her actions. Natalie, busy trying to get as far away as Alexander, bumps into another co-worker.

"Natalie, pleasure running into you," Charles says bringing her right hand to his lips; "As always."

"I didn't think you would be able to make it," Natalie greets him politely, pulling her hand back to her side. "I hear from Samantha that the Finance Department is having a field day."

He chuckles.

"She's over exaggerating. I would never miss a company gala," he continues, "Especially, if I can catch you in such a gorgeous, form-fitting dress."

Charles winks at the end of his statement, as though his blatant attempts of flirting could be missed by anyone within a five-foot radius.

"That's quite inappropriate," Natalie replies, fighting off the blush making its way to her cheeks from the compliment.

"You're single, I am single; it's only right that we mingle," he smirks. Before Natalie could open her mouth to retort, she hears an unmistakable timbre from behind her.

"I'm sorry, Charles. Your assumption is quite wrong," Alexander's voice sends a chill up her spine. "Natalie and I happen to be an item, and I would greatly appreciate it if you kept your distance."

"Ah, Alexander," Charles acknowledges, all the while trying to keep the tremble from his voice, while facing the taller and broader man. "I was under the impression that she was alone."

"Now you know better," Alexander says gruffly, putting his right hand on Natalie's lower back ushering her away.

"I'd prefer if you remove your hand from my body," Natalie grumbles, the warmth of his hand sending goose bumps all over her body. Alexander laughs at her demand.

"We are going to have a private, long overdue conversation," he whispers huskily into her ear, still guiding her.

"Where do you expect us to have that? There are people all over the place," she counters.

"Simple. We are going to where this fiasco first started," Alexander replies coolly, his eyes locking on hers.

Alexander's eyes darken as Natalie's eyes widen in understanding. They were heading to her office, the place where they first met, where she hired him to be part of her management team.

"I see you've figured out our destination, Ms. Davis."

"What makes you think I will open the door for you?" Natalie retaliates, refusing to allow Alexander the upper hand in the situation.

"I don't need you to, I know your code," he answers smoothly. The elevator opens, and they step in. The moment the elevator doors close, Natalie steps as far from Alexander as possible, resisting the urge to pull him by the tie and kiss him.

"There's nothing to discuss. Our relationship is completely platonic and purely professional," she says, biting her bottom lip in nervousness.

He scoffs, "Yes, because constant flirtation is very professional."

"I do not flirt with you!" Natalie argues.

"Are you kidding? You flaunt yourself at any chance you get!"

"I do not! My attire is perfectly acceptable for the office setting. I am very sorry that your mind is in the gutter!" Natalie huffs.

Ding! Right on time, the elevator opens to their floor.

"Are you going to lead the way now, or shall I?" Alexander challenges.

Grumpily Natalie takes the lead toward her office. There was no way she was getting out of this one. Alexander Graham was determined, and she knew his persistence would not wane. It was one of the qualities that led to his hire after all.

"Take a seat," Natalie invites, after opening the office and sitting in her chair behind the desk, hoping that the piece of furniture could keep them at a distance.

"I like it when you're in charge," Alexander teases before following her command.

"Now, Mr. Graham is there anything I can help you with?" she asks in her professional tone.

"Well, Ms. Davis, there seems to be a problem with my work conditions," he plays along.

"And what might that be? We try to keep our employees as comfortable as possible."

"Well, you see, madam. There is this vixen in my department whom I cannot get out of my head," he replies without a hitch.

Natalie clears the throat, trying in turn, to clear her head as well.

"I'm sorry you feel that way; however, I cannot do anything about that," Natalie answers dryly.

"Well, I'm sure there's something you can think of," he counters.

"You'll need to be more specific Mr. Graham," Natalie smirks.

"Hm..." Alexander pretends to think. "Well, first, I would be much more comfortable if you were in my lap instead of on the other side of this desk."

With some reluctance Natalie rises from her seat and makes her way around the desk. She doesn't like letting him have the power, it made him cocky. She also knew it's a major turn on of his to be in control of her.

"How about we make a compromise?" Natalie negotiates as she sits atop her desk legs crossed in front of him.

"What kind of negotiations do you have in mind?" Alexander grins, loving that she decided to play along.

"I wouldn't feel comfortable in your lap, so how about I stay here and we can discuss your dilemma in further detail," she answers, casting a glance at the obvious bulge in his pants.

"All right," Alexander says before clearing his throat. "There's also a problem with the office temperature, it's too warm in this building."

"That's easy enough to take care of," Natalie says as she makes her way to Alexander, still sitting quite still in the chair.

She reaches for his tie and unknots it, and slowly pulls it off him before tossing it aside. She slides her hands into his blazer and slowly pushes it down from his shoulders. Smirking as she chucks the article of clothing to the floor. She continues to move to the buttons of Alexander's shirt. Once the buttons are undone, she runs her hands down his pecs and abs, admiring the beauty that is her co-worker's body. She then slides the shirt off him, much in the same manner as the blazer before. She leans in closer to him, and licks his jawline making her way to his ear.

"Is that better?" Natalie asks seductively.

Alexander feels a shiver down his spine and pulls her into his lap, turning his head and crashing his mouth against hers. Immediately, her hands tangle with his smooth black hair and he groans as she massages his scalp. Alexander runs his hands down the sides of her body, sliding his right hand to the front and grabbing her left breast, squeezing it gently. Natalie pulls away to moan at the sudden touch, and looks at Alexander, both their eyes glassy from the sexual haze.

"I'm feeling kind of warm too," Natalie whispers.

Alexander lifts her up and sets her on the desk as he pulls the dress over her head. If he had it his way he would've ripped the material right off her body, but Natalie would not be pleased, and this excursion would end much sooner than he'd like. He takes a step back and admires the lacy red lingerie cupping Natalie's breast and sex. He smirks in approval and Natalie crooks her finger in a "come closer" motion. They're kissing again. This time Natalie's legs are snugly wrapped around Alexander's waist as he unclasps her bra, moving it out of his way so he can massage her breasts. She lets out a gasp as he begins to pinch her nipples, which are hardening under his ministrations. She begins grinding against him, whimpering.

"Do you want me to take you on this desk?" Alexander demands huskily. "I'll take you hard and fast, and every day at work you'll only remember what happened tonight."

"Yes," Natalie groans, promising to pay him back another time.

Alexander moves the lacy material covering her pussy aside and slides a finger in, pleased that she's sopping wet and ready. He grins into their kiss as their tongues clash. Natalie sucks on his tongue, distracting him while she unbuckles his belt and pulls down his pants and boxers. After his cock is released, Natalie grinds into him harder, making Alexander groan.

"Condom," he breathes as they break away for air.

Natalie leans over her desk and reaches for her top drawer and pulls out a little packet and hands it to Alexander. He quickly removes the wrapping and rolls the condom onto his erection while Natalie continues to run her hands up and down his torso. As soon as he's covered he pulls her by the hips and plunges into her, she moans loudly at the unexpected intrusion. He continues to thrust, fast, hard and deep as Natalie continues to cry in ecstasy. Knowing he's close himself, he moves his hand to her clit and begins pinching and prodding it until she falls off the edge, squeezing tightly against him. He roars in ecstasy as he continues thrust, more erratically now. After a few more thrusts he stills as his orgasm washes over him. He puts his forehead against Natalie's both gasping for breath.

"I knew you would see it my way," Alexander says breathlessly as they both come down from their high.

"I wouldn't mind doing this again," Natalie agrees. "Although, I've always wanted to have sex in a more public place…"

"We can always do this again during work hours," Alexander smirks.

Natalie grins.

They disengage and get dressed to leave.

He winks, and says, "I will see you Monday, bright and early."

Natalie looks at him mouth agape. She didn't think he was serious when he suggested it, but the twinkle in his eyes tells her otherwise.
"Next time, I'm in charge," she asserts before exiting the office with Alexander trailing behind with a large grin on his face.

Alexander Graham: One, Natalie Davis: Zero.
