If you want me to tie you up, Miss Matthews, all you need to do is beg me nicely.

P.s. who has such little regard for HR and professionalism now?

Disregard my last email; I had a lapse in judgement.

On the contrary, I think you were finally open about what you want. Keep that up.

It’s been six days since our last flirty email exchange, but not one of those days passed without thoughts of said emails. Lara’slast email showed me the slightest glimpse into who she is behind the walls she’s so meticulously constructed. But it isn’t enough; I need to deconstruct the walls one brick at a time until I know her better than I know myself.?

The more time I spend with Lara, the more I find myself becoming completely enchanted by her. Her presence in my life is unlike that of any woman before her. She’s become the person I look forward to seeing each day. Regardless of whether she’s giving me a small smile from across the room, moaning my name as she comes apart beneath me, or refusing to give me a lick of attention because she’s working, I am in constantaweof her.

This is why, on a nondescript Tuesday evening, I’m sitting on my couch with my phone in hand, typing out a text message to my EA—something I have no business doing right now.

Me

So I’ve come up with an idea.
