enter my humble domain.” She stepped back and opened the door wide.
“Come in.”
     
    Jake realized there was a lot he didn’t know about her.
Although he could read her thoughts and emotions most of the time, the lady
could put up mental shields worthy of any full-powered empath, making him
wonder if she had any powers of her own. Like right now, he thought she looked
like she’d seen a ghost, but he couldn’t sense anything from her. As he stepped
into her apartment, he hoped that it would provide clues to the real Adrienne.
    Her home was warmly furnished and decorated. The walls were
painted in cream tones and the sleek-lined upholstered furniture set on the far
side from the entrance was a rich burgundy. A large coffee table had been
stationed in front of the couch, and a DVD component system sat on a low
cabinet against the opposite wall. Three racks crammed full of CDs indicated a
healthy interest in music. Jake itched to flip through them and discover her
tastes. He looked to his left, scanning the dining room, which contained a
glass table and six chairs. Two doors led off from the main hall, which he
guessed were the bedrooms.
    “Here, have a seat.” Adrienne pulled out one of the dining
room chairs. “I’ll get my things and we can polish up tomorrow’s presentation.”
    She was a bit different tonight, warmer and less stiff. Was
it because she was playing hostess? Or was it the office environment that
forced her to adopt a more business-like attitude? Or maybe, she was finally
ready to face her ... feelings for him?
    He sat down absently on the chair, placing the bag of food on
the table in front of him.
    Ever since their first meeting when she’d been introduced as
one of the team leaders in his division and he’d shaken her hand, he’d been
sensing her lustful vibes. She hadn’t been the only one to feel an instant
attraction. He had taken one look at her and fallen into lust with her. Even
her short bob looked sexy on her heart-shaped face. He would surreptitiously
watch her sway into his office for meetings and openly watch her sway out, his
eyes drawn to her small waist and the come-hither movement of her provocative
hips, luring attention to her deliciously soft tush.
    Recently, he was receiving not only vibes, but seeing whole
mental pictures of erotic scenes of the two of them entwined in a passionate
kiss, their naked bodies entangled in ways that couldn’t be mistaken for
anything but what they were -- heated, sexual romps. As the images rolled
through his mind, hot blood rushed through him, stirring his quiescent penis to
life.
    “Here we are.” Adrienne placed a folder in front of him. “You
can take a look at the PowerPoint slides I’ve done, but the ‘impact-ful’
conclusion that I’m looking for is eluding me at present. Maybe something will
occur to you. In the meantime --” She smiled impishly as she took out the
food from inside the paper bag. “-- I’m going to enjoy my snack.”
     
    Adrienne ate the last of the puto from the plastic
container. She felt a twinge of guilt at not leaving even one piece for Jake,
but the cakes were so scrumptious that before she knew it, she was wolfing down
the last piece. He was working so hard, too. His brow was knotted in
concentration as he polished her presentation and helped her come up with the
perfect conclusion. His pink tongue peeked out every so often, driving her
crazy. She had to occupy her mouth with food to keep from leaning over and
capturing that luscious appendage with her lips.
    She forced her gaze away from his face before she could
disgrace herself. Her eyes lit on his hand, which held the pen in a light grip
as he wrote. His fingers were long and supple, and his fingernails were kept
clean and short.
    She imagined those hands cupping her naked breasts, brown
against white, his thumbs tweaking her nipples into prominence, brushing across
the dark brown areolas, rousing her desire ...
    “There!” Jake put down
