Chapter 5: The dinner
Alan's day at work drags on very slowly. Trying to stretch out his tasks were of no help.
He was still struggling to focus fully on his work, instead, his mind drifted off to thoughts of Jan. The piece of paper in his wallet, with her number and address, felt like a burning ember against his leg. He approaches near Jan's office which lie vacant. Alan nerves begin racing again as he knew why she wasn't here. "Tonight," he whispered to himself, trying to quench the building excitement. He finishes up his work early, tidying the hallways and stairwells with extra care, justifying the need to stay focused. He is about to head to the cleaning closet when he's met by his coworker from earlier in the week who eyed him curiously.
"Leaving a bit early today, aren't we?" His coworker asks as they stand in the hallway.
Alan pauses for a moment, caught off guard by the unexpected question. He glances at his watch, feeling his cheeks warm with a mixture of embarrassment and guilt.
"Oh, I-uh-just finished up early," Alan stammers, hoping to cover up the true reason behind his eagerness to leave. "I figured I'd get a headstart on my nightly cleaning rounds."
His coworker raises an eyebrow, clearly skeptical of Alan's excuse. "Right," he drawls out, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Nightly cleaning, huh?" His coworker's eyes bore into Alan, scrutinizing him with a hint of suspicion. Alan looks away, averting his gaze, unable to hold the intensity of his coworker's gaze.
"So what you got planned? Seems to be something exciting the way you're acting."
His coworker winks, tapping his chin thoughtfully.
Alan gulps, feeling the heat rise up to his cheeks. "N-nothing special." He stammers, avoiding the intense stare of his coworker. "Just want to go home and rest."
"Sure, yeah. I believe you." He chuckles, patting Alan on the shoulder before walking away.
Alan watches him go, an uneasy wave of guilt coursing through him. He hates lying to his coworker but decides to keep his personal affair private.
Not wanting to be stopped for scrutiny again, he quickly grabs his things from the cleaning closet, nods to a few of his other coworkers, and heads for the door.
Alan walked out to the parking lot, feeling both eager and nervous about what was going to happen tonight. He had never been to a woman's house for dinner before, let alone a woman he was seeing intimately.
Cars drive past him with couples in them, their laughter and conversation filling the night air, and it struck him just how alone he was. He had never really put himself out there out of both fear and discomfort.
After spending the remaining hours agonizing over what to wear,
Alan arrives at Jan's apartment complex promptly at 7:00. His heart races as he steps out of his plain white sedan, trying to subdue his nerves. The sun has dipped below the horizon, leaving the sky streaked with hues of pink and orange against a vast darkening canvas.
In front of the building, he hesitates for just a second before taking a deep breath and walking inside. The hallway to her apartment is flooded with overhead lights and the faint sound of other people's lives behind closed doors.
He pauses in front of her door to compose himself, taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He knocks lightly on the door, just three times, with one last hope that he isn't making a huge mistake by being here tonight.
There's a faint shuffling on the other side before the door opens. Jan stands there, wearing a a very casual outfit, light blue jeans and a v-neck sweater. Her long brown hair cascades down her shoulders, framing her face in loose waves. A faint, welcoming smile finds its way to her lips.
"Right on time." She quips, a glint in her eye.
Alan gulps, unsure of what to say. He had spent the past few hours prepping himself for this, yet somehow it all goes away as soon as she opens the door.
His eyes gaze appreciatively over her figure, taking in her beauty. He swallows hard, realizing that he's incredibly nervous and hoping she can't tell.
"I hope I haven't kept you waiting," Alan murmurs, his voice barely louder than a whisper.
Jan smirks at him, noticing his shyness. "I just said you were right on time you goof." She looks him up and down, her eyes glinting with amusement.
Alan realizing the blunder in his choice of words starts to stutter a long winded apology. Jan rolls her eyes and interrupts him by grabbing his sweater and pulling him inside. Once inside, Alan is immediately hit in the face
with a beautiful, sweet smell of food cooking. They head past the dinner room towards the living room.
"Oh wow, this is really nice Jan," Alan stammers, genuinely amazed by the atmosphere.
The dim lighting is softly illuminating the tastefully decorated living room, with plush cushions and vibrant art adorning the walls. He takes a seat on the couch, trying to quell his nerves. "Thanks for coming over" she says hovering over him. "Dinner will be ready very soon.
Their eyes lock for a moment, and Alan feels a peculiar sensation in his stomach. She moves back to the kitchen, her hips swaying hypnotically.
Alan's gaze lingers on her, still in disbelief of the situation. It's not until Jan calls him again does he realizes that he's been busted. He clears his throat, realizing that he had been caught staring.
"I said, can I get you anything to drink? Water, wine, beer?" Her tone was playful, but her eyes carried a glimmer of amusement.
"Water would be great," Alan replies, slightly embarrassed.
"Coming right up." She winks before disappearing behind the kitchen counter.
Alan hesitates for a moment, feeling a sense of discomfort creep up on him. He had never been to someone's home for dinner before, particularly a woman he was seeing intimately. The thought of small talk and maintaining conversation with someone outside of janitorial duties left him fidgeting uneasily in his seat. He tries to brush off the anxiety by glancing around the living room. The cozy atmosphere
does much to calm his nerves. A surge of courage wells up within Alan, and he asks Jan if there is anything he can help with in the kitchen. She glances over at him, a delighted smile playing on her lips, and shakes her head.
"No, no. I've got everything under control," she assures him. "You just relax and enjoy the scenery."
Jan heads back to the kitchen while Alan takes the opportunity to soak in the ambiance and observe the intricate details of her decor. She has dozens of little cartoon trinkets and figurines.
On her coffee table alone, there was an adorable Pikachu figurine, some small collectible figurines from movies and TV shows. A bookshelf nearby is crammed with books of various genres-romance, mystery, fantasy, memoirs, and even a few science fiction novels. One particular book titled "The Art of Seduction," catches his eye, and his cheeks redden as his mind jumps to thoughts of what they had been doing just earlier.
Jan startles Alan as she is suddenly standing behind him with the glass of water she offered
him earlier. "Like what you see?" she asks teasingly, playfully bumping his shoulder with hers.
Alan gulps and takes a step back, his eyes flicking up to meet hers. He takes the glass from her with a weak smile, not really sure what to say.
"I'm just appreciating your eclectic collection," he replies finally, hoping to change the topic. "Everything looks so interesting."
Jan smiles, taking in his embarrassment and finds it endearing. "Yes, I love collecting new things."
She surveys the living room with pride.
"Thank you. I've spent a lot of time making this place feel like home."
Alan nods, sipping his water carefully. He wants to ask her more about her interests, about the mysterious and slightly aloof side Jan keeps hidden in the office. But he hesitates, afraid of prying too much or sounding too eager.
Jan notices his nervousness and decides to alleviate it with a subject change. "So, have you ever seen that new fantasy movie that just came out?" she asks, perching on the arm of the couch.
Her gaze rakes over him again, appraising his appearance, her eyes bright with curiosity.
"I haven't had a chance to go to the movies lately, with work taking up most of my time," Alan admits sheepishly, taking a sip from his water glass.
"Well, maybe after dinner, I can show you a good movie," she suggests, hinting at inviting him to stay longer.
Alan's heart leaps in his chest at the prospect, but he quickly attempts to temper his enthusiasm.
"A-Are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose;" he says almost shyly.
Jan's expression softens as she regards him with a warm smile, "It would be my pleasure, really. What better way to wind down after a nice meal than a good movie."
Jan's warm aura puts Alan at ease, and his heart begins to flutter a bit again.
"Absolutely, I'd love that." His voice is quiet and steady, hiding his internal excitement.
"I was hoping you'd say that," Jan replied playfully, taking a sip of her wine. Her eyes glinted with a mix of amusement and anticipation.
"The food should be ready. I'll go set us up. You can have a seat at the table."
Jan gestured towards the small dining table near the living room. It was set with two place settings, complete with plates, silverware, and wine glasses. A bottle of red wine sat open on the table, already half empty.
He watched as she moved gracefully into the kitchen to fetch their food. Her hair brushed across her shoulders with each step, and he couldn't help but admire the way she moved with such confidence and ease. He felt like a schoolboy again, nervous but excited for what was to come.
Jan returned with two plates with a nice sized salmon
and rice entree, along with some steamed vegetables. "Enjoy," she said, placing the plate in front of him.
Alan thanked her sheepishly, his eyes wandering back to her. Every time he looked at Jan, it was as if he was discovering something new about her. Her eyes gleamed with a mix of wit, confidence, and a hint of vulnerability that he found irresistible.
The dinner was delicious, conversation flowing smoothly between them. Alan learns so much more about Jan and the myriad of things they have in common
. Her knowledge about fantasy and science fiction worlds and characters surprised him in a delightful way; she loved all things in geek culture as much as he did. They both shared a love for Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Trek.
Alan could barely contain his enthusiasm, which made Jan chuckle as she saw how excited he was.
Jan and Alan continue to talk about other things that fascinate them, including the world of cinema, the most obscure B movies and vintage films, and favorite TV Shows. The two kept wondering what it would be like to live in the 90s, growing up amidst those eras' pop culture.
The conversation continued long after they had both finished their food.
They laughed and teased each other, exchanging stories about their past. Alan had never felt so at ease and comfortable with anyone before. He marveled at how natural it felt to be here with Jan, talking and sharing their lives with one another.
The sun had set completely outside, leaving the sky a blanket of stars and city lights. The ambiance inside Jan's apartment was warm and inviting as the temperature dipped below freezing outside. "So how about that movie?" Jan asks
, once the last of the dishes are in the dishwasher.
The words flow out of her mouth so effortlessly that for a moment, Alan considers pretending not to understand her invitation. He feels his cheeks warming self-consciously, and he looks at Jan, who raises her eyebrows in a silent, expectant question.
"Sure, I'd love to watch. Um can I ask for something?" Alan sheepishly asks.
"Yeah! whats up?" Jan responds
"You got anymore of that wine?" Alan says
Jan smiles widely and heads to the kitchen and comes back with an extra glass and a fresh bottle of red wine. They both move to the living room
, their faces shining with excitement.
Jan finds an appropriate seating arrangement for them both in one of her large cozy couches. Sitting side by side, their bodies pressed together like magnets drawn to one another. Alan can feel the distance between him and Jan slowly diminishing while the tension between them grows.
Jan turns on the TV and begins the movie as They both sip on the wine, lost in a world of swords, sorcery, and daring adventures.
Alan are astonished by the rich, detailed landscape that unfolds on the screen, and he is captivated by the epic tale of heroism, friendship, and love that unfolds before their eyes.
As they watch, Jan starts to lean closer towards him, her hand brushing against his arm casually. As the wine takes effect on Alan,
his nerves begin to slowly dissipate. He feels his hand reaching out towards hers, and their fingers intertwine without any resistance from either side.
They continue watching the movie in silence, and a relaxed ambiance fills the apartment, but somehow, the movie begins to feel less important as the conversation slows down. They seem to become more in tune with each other, the closeness of their bodies causing the tension between them to grow.
The movie ends. They are both cuddled up together on the couch and they begin talking about the movie. A buzz sets in nicely as the wine continues to disappear between the both of them
, a thick cloud of warmth envelops them as it started to fade.
With a thick haze casting over Alan's thoughts, he says teasingly towards Jan,
"You know, if we were in that film, we could be the heroes!
Jan replies with a wicked grin, "Heroes? Really? I don't see myself stepping out of this cozy comfy position to do the deeds. You Mr. Hero, might have to take that one."
Alan raises a brow, not expecting the sudden turn of events.
He gives a self-deprecating laugh, his cheeks turning a slight shade of pink. "I'm just saying, I could likely carry a sword or swing an axe around knights armor. I can't say I'm exactly that charming tho," he says, appearing both flattered and embarrassed by her praise.
Jan chuckles softly, her gaze fixed on Alan.
I'd be happy to imagine myself the damsel in distress, held captive by a nefarious villain, waiting anxiously for your arrival to save the day.
Alan swoons at her sudden flattery, finding himself deeply enamored with her teasing banter. He blushes, taking in mock embarrassment as he lazily strokes her arm.
"You're so cute when you blush" Jan teases, her voice soft and low.
Alan can feel himself growing increasingly uncomfortable with the direction of their banter, but he also finds himself inexplicably drawn to her and her playful flirting.
"Jan," he says nervously, "I really like being here with you. I don't think I've ever felt this way before."
Jan smiles at him, her eyes shining with warmth. "I like being here with you too, Alan."
She leans in closer to him on the couch, their faces just inches apart.
Alan's heart races, unsure of what to do next. His mind goes blank as he tries to gather his thoughts, but they elude him like grains of sand between his fingers.
Jan's lips curl into a soft smile. She whispers, her breath warm against his skin.
Alan sighs, feeling relieved and thrilled at the same time. He returns her smile, his heart overflowing with emotion.
Before he knows it, Jan's lips are on his, soft and gentle.
He feels his fingers dialing back the distance between them, losing himself in the moment, and their bodies sway in sync.
He wraps his hands around her waist, pulling her closer as their tongues dance playfully. The taste of wine mingles with the taste of her lipstick as they deepen the kiss, losing themselves in each other's embrace.
Time seems to stand still as they continue to explore one another's mouths, losing track of reality. Alan can feel the heat rising within him, his body responding to Jan's touch and the passionate kiss.
Jan pulls away smiling at Alan. Alan cheeks are flushed but he is smiling back.
Jan gets up and and excuses herself "Just a moment please." as she disappears off into her bedroom.
Alan is left alone with his thoughts. His heart buzzes, and acknowledges to himself that he is having a great time. The way Jan treats him like an honest-to-goodness person has an uncharted charm that makes him giddy. Alan lets out a deep contented sigh unable to wipe the cheesy smile off of his face
as he stares down at the empty glass in his hand.
The wine's effects wash over him in a warm and soothing way. He lets it invigorate him, his nerves diminishing with every passing moment that they spent alone together.
Jan calls out from the bedroom. "Alan! could you come here for a moment? need your help with something!"
Alan gets up eagerly, honored to help Jan with anything that she needs. He walks towards her bedroom, his body still tingling from the intoxicating kiss.
He finds her door slightly ajar and pushes it open, revealing a dimly lit room, the only light coming from a bedside lamp. The curtains are drawn back, revealing a moonlit night shining in through the window. Alan's eyes nearly pop out of his head when he finds Jan laying on her bed wearing nothing but a white bra and white panties. The same kind she had showed Alan before.
Alan blushes furiously, his heart racing as he takes in the sight of her.
"Wha-what is it that you need help with?" Alan stammers out, feeling his face grow hot with embarrassment.
Jan smiles at him, "Come on Alan. Don't act surprised."
Jan pats the space next to her on the bed, inviting him over with a playful grin. "I can't have you over my place without having some fun." she purrs.
Alan's heart skips a beat as he registers Jan's words. His eyes are wide, his cheeks flushed, and he can't help but feel a surge of excitement run through him. He stammers, trying to find words, but his mind goes blank as he takes in the sight of her laying on the bed, so tempting and inviting.
Jan props herself up on her elbows, her gaze never leaving Alan's face. "Don't be shy," she says softly.
Alan slowly walks over towards the bed and sits down on the edge.
"lose the clothes you doofus."
"o-oh right." Alan says shakily. He begins undressing nervously. He knows he has been exposed in front of Jan multiple times now, but it never feels any less vulnerable each time. He pulls his sweater over his head and throws it to the floor. Slipping out of his shoes, he then begins working on the button of his jeans. She watches him with a gleam of amusement in her eyes and her smirk pierces right through Alan
"Show me those undies you know I love so much." She says flirting.
"Especially when you look as fucking good as you do right now. Come on, show me."
Alan's heart races at Jan's words, but he obeys. He pushes his jeans down and steps out of them, leaving him in just his tighty-whities. He tries to steady his shaking hands as he slips off his socks. Jan watches him with a hungry gaze, her eyes roaming over his body. He feels his cheeks heating up again, but he doesn't look away.
"Just stand there for a minute. I want to appreciate the view."
Her voice was husky with desire. She was staring at him in his tighty-whities, and he felt heat rising to his cheeks, almost blushing for the umpteenth time today.
Jan's gaze travels down his toned midriff, her eyes lingering on the bulge in his underwear. He can see her swallow hard, and her breathing quickens. He's relieved to see that he's not the only one affected by this moment.
Jan opens her legs and slowly reaches down inside her panties. He watches in awe, mesmerized by the sight of her fingers slipping between her thighs. She moans ever so slightly as she begins to pleasure herself.
Her fingers move in slow, tantalizing circles, her eyelids fluttering in response to her touch.
"You look so good in those." she murmurs, her voice filled with longing.
He stands there, frozen in place as he watches her, his breath coming in shallow gasps. He can feel the blood rushing to his cock, making him harder than he's ever been before.
Jan opens her legs wider and pulls her panties to the side without taking them off. She finally motions him over with the finger, and Alan doesn't need another invitation.
He moves closer to the bed, and his thighs brush against the soft sheets as he climbs onto the mattress. Jan's hands are still working furiously between her thighs, and she lets out a surprised gasp as Alan's tongue replace her fingers.
She tastes like heaven, sweet and tangy, and Alan couldn't help but revel in the experience that he's finally eating her out. He moans against her slick folds, his tongue swirling in expert circles around her swollen clit. She tastes amazing, and Alan wants nothing more than to devour every inch of her. Jan writhes with pleasure, pulling him closer to her as she grinds herself against his mouth.
Alan relishes the taste of her, the smell of her arousal only fueling his own desire.
He can feel her legs trembling as she reaches her peak, her back arching off the bed as she cries out in ecstasy. Alan keeps licking and sucking, wanting to draw out her pleasure for as long as possible. He feels her body relax, and he looks up to see Jan staring at him with hooded eyes.
She pulls him up next to her and orders him to lay down on his back. After Alan obeys, she straddles him staring in to his eyes with pure lust. Jan reaches down and pulls Alan cock out the side of his tighty whities without taking them off. She then readjusts her panties to the side and eases herself down
onto him. He feels her warm wetness engulf him completely as she slides down slowly. She sits up, bringing her face closer to his as she grinds herself against him. They can feel their bodies pulsating with every thrust, their muscles tense, waiting for release.
He places his hands on her hips, guiding her as she moves rhythmically up and down.
Jan's nipples are hard under her white bra, and her breath is coming in short gasps. Their eyes are locked, their bodies moving in perfect harmony with each other.
Alan's mind wanders a little bit. through the rush of emotions and waves of desire, he takes a moment to drink in the surreal scene
that encapsulates them both. He's inside Jan now, and it feels like coming home. With every stroke of her hips, she takes him deeper, and he can feel her wet warmth gripping him tightly.
Her breasts bounce with every thrust, and her breath is hot on his neck as she presses herself against him. He can feel her heart racing against his chest, matching his own. Her face flushed with pure pleasure. Her moans filling the cozy peaceful bedroom.
Alan found himself in a state of bewilderment, his mind a whirlwind of confusion. He couldn't fathom how he had ended up in this situation. It was as if he had been transported to another world, a world far removed from the quiet, mundane life he had always known. The thought of how he, the timid and reserved Alan, had somehow become intimately entwined with the vivacious and stunning Jan, seemed almost too absurd to be true.
"How did I get here?" Alan says to himself inside his head. He couldn't believe
that he, the shy and reserved Alan, was now intimately entwined with the confident and beautiful Jan. He couldn't believe that this was the same woman who barely interacted with anyone else in the office, and whose mysterious side had always intrigued him.
But there he was, lying beneath her, as if he had been waiting for this moment for an eternity. The room was filled with an almost palpable tension, as he watched her, mesmerized by the spectacle unfolding before him. Her body moved with a rhythm that seemed to hypnotize him, each movement causing her breasts to bounce and sway with a captivating grace. He found himself unable to tear his eyes away, transfixed by the sight of her. The moonlight streaming through the window illuminated her flowing hair, casting a golden glow over her bare shoulders. The strands of hair seemed to dance in the moonlight, brushing against her skin in a sensual caress. He could see the beads of sweat trickling down her neck, glistening in the soft light. The sight of her was intoxicating, and he felt a wave of desire wash over him. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, his breath coming in short, shallow gasps.
"I'm in love with this woman." The thought rang and echoed through his head.
A tender momentary surge of feelings for this beautiful woman writhing on top of him. She was stunning. Every curve of her body, every inch skin he could touch mesmerized his senses.
She must have noticed his pause and seen the tender moment, because her smile became softer as she leaned forward to kiss him. Their lips met in a passionate connection, tongues tangled with each other. Her warmth radiated throughout him as they kissed.
Alan finally snapped as his primal mind takes the reigns. He flips her off of him and positions her up against the headboard on her knees facing away. Jan grabs the headboard and braces herself knowing that Alan has finally gave way to
his primal instinct. He was like a wild beast ready to pounce on its prey, and Jan was more than ready to be devoured by him. Alan wraps his arms around her and enters her from behind. They both groan in pleasure, their bodies moving together in a steady rhythm. The sound of their skin slapping together fills the room, punctuated by their moans of pleasure.
Alan grips her hips tightly, drilling into her
from behind with a fierce hunger. Jan's head falls back, her eyes closed as she surrenders to the sheer ecstasy of the moment.
Their bodies glisten with sweat, and the scent of sex and arousal hangs heavy in the air.
"Don't stop, Alan, don't you dare stop," Jan pants, her voice breathless with desire.
Alan's hips snap forward, driving himself deeper inside her. He can feel her walls tightening around him, and he knows she's close to climaxing again.
The thought of making her come undone with his cock fuels him, and he pounds into her harder and faster.
"Yes, yes, just like that," Jan moans, encouraging him. Alan can feel his balls tightening, and he knows he's close to finishing. He reaches around to rub her clit, desperate to make her come with him.
Jan cries out in pleasure, her orgasm rippling through her body. Alan's own orgasm right behind hers. Jan's welcoming heat continues to flood in her orgasm drowning Alan's cock as well. They both moan loudly in unison as they come together, the euphoria of the moment filling them completely.
Alan slumps over Jan, breathing heavily, his cock still buried deep inside her. They stay connected for a moment, the silence between them deafening except for the loud thudding of their own hearts.
The last of Alan's cum leaking out of him and into Jan as she swirls her hips back trying to get the most out of him before he pulls out.
Alan can feel himself starting to soften inside of her, but he doesn't want to pull out, not just yet.
He leans forward and kisses the back of her neck softly.
"That was amazing." Alan sighs.
He can feel Jan smiling and nodding her head in agreement as she leans forward enough for him to pull out of her.
Jan turns around to face him, her eyes filled with desire and happiness.
"It really was." She says as she kisses him again, her lips lingering on his.
They both slink down into normal position on the bed. Alan lays there with his eyes closed catching his breath as a wave of exhaustion hits him
Alan's body is still trembling lightly from the shocks of pleasure. Completely drained
and satisfied, he lay there, cradling Jan in his arms after what felt like an unearthly experience. His soft snores soon become audible in the quiet room, as he falls into a peaceful slumber, his arms still wrapped around her.
His deep and even breathing brushes against Jan's neck and causes small goosebumps to arise on her skin. Jan carefully untangles herself from Alan's arms and gently maneuvers herself out of the bed without waking him.
Walking over to her en-suite bathroom, she quietly closes the door behind her. She pulls down her panties and sits down on the toilet and begin replaying the evening in her head. she chuckles to herself. "oh yeah. he is mine now." she thinking smirking devilishly to herself.
Jan takes care of her business and washes her hands. She then looks at herself in the mirror. Her hair is slightly disheveled, and she has a satisfied smile taking over her face.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfied accomplishment when she looked into the mirror. She had desired him for so long, had fantasized about having him in just this way. And finally, her fantasies had come to life.
She giggles and heads back into the bedroom. Alan is in a much deeper sleep now.
His chest rises and falls steadily, indicating a restful sleep. Jan stared at the innocent face of the man who now belonged to her, her new lover. She smiled, feeling content and satisfied.
She gently packs Alan's cock away back inside his tighty whities, and then climbs back into the bed pulling the covers up both of them. She snuggles up close to him, feeling a sense of belonging and happiness. She places a soft kiss on his cheek and seconds later, she too falls into a peaceful slumber.
After a few hours of sleep, the sound of the morning sun peaking through the curtain wake Alan and Jan up. Alan stirs awake first, feeling the tiniest sliver of sunlight touch his face.
He was confused about where he was for a moment until he saw Jan, still dozing next to him
The intimate moments from the night before flash through his mind like frames in a movie.
Alan still in disbelief of last nights events lays their for a while longer gazing at his pillow partner.
She looks so peaceful lying there, undeniably beautiful as ever.
Jan stirs a little and cuddles up closer to Alan, laying an arm on his chest and tossing a leg over him.
He returns the cuddle, his heart feeling warm and content as he finally starts to fully realize what transpired between them the night before.
He traces his fingers over her arm, feeling the soft skin and brought his hand to her waist, securing her snugly against him.
Jan smelled of vanilla and honey as she snuggled closer, awakening his senses and making his brain swirl with a thousand thoughts.
He cleared his throat and let out a chuckle, "Good morning, dreamer." He teased good-naturedly.
Jan with a very sleepy voice responded "I'll let you know when I'm ready for dreams."
Jan's playful banter melts the tension that had been building up within him overnight, causing him to relax and let out a deep sigh of satisfaction. Their calming surroundings made the morning feel rare and surreal, as if disconnected from the everyday happenings outside.
Jan opened her eyes, brushing Alan's hand off her waist and stretching lengthily. The covers pull down a bit as she stretches. Alan once again blushes furiously as he sees she is no longer wearing a bra. She opens her eyes and gives Alan a lazy, satisfied grin.
"Good morning," she says softly.
Alan smiles back, feeling shy all of a sudden. It occurred to him that things were different now—he and Jan had crossed the line last night, going from friendly coworkers to something more intimate.
He wonders how this will affect their relationship in the days and weeks to come. Would it be awkward between them in the office? Would they start avoiding each other or would they continue to interact as they always had?
"Sleep well stud? you were out like a light right after." she says cuddling back up against him.
I did, actually, I rarely sleep that deeply." Alan replies with a soft chuckle as his fingers absent-mindedly play with a loose strand of Jan's hair.
The sunlight filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow on their intertwined bodies. Alan can feel Jan's breathing steady and even, and he knows she's still half-asleep.
He gently moves her hair to the side and presses a soft kiss to her shoulder. Jan smiles in her sleep, nuzzling closer to him.
"You've gotten a bit bolder since I started talking to you."
Jan says with a slight crackle in her voice.
Alan smiles bashfully, "Well, to be fair, I've had a bit of a crush on you for a while now." He admits, feeling his cheeks grow hot.
"Really?" Jan says, sounding surprised. "I had no idea."
"Yeah, I guess I'm not very good at expressing myself." Alan says with a shrug.
Jan looks up at him, her eyes bright with curiosity. "Well, I'm glad you finally did.
I've had my eye on you too, Alan." She said, tracing her fingers down his chest.
It was a simple statement, but it made his heart race.
"You have?" he asked, incredulous.
She nodded. "Yes, I have. You're kind, always willing to lend a helping hand, and just a bit mysterious."
Alan felt a blush creep up his cheeks. "I'm not that mysterious," he protested.
Jan chuckled. "Oh, but you are."
Jan and Alan stare into each others eyes for a bit longer, before Jan leans in and plants a soft kiss on his lips.
Alan feels his heart flutter at the touch of her lips. He returns the kiss, his hands gliding up her bare arms.
Their bodies fit perfectly together, their limbs tangling as they explore each other's mouths.
Jan pulls away slightly, her forehead resting against his.
"I'm glad we did this, Alan," she says softly.
Alan smiles at her, his hands still gently holding her arms.
"Me too, Jan," he replies.
They stay there for a moment, enjoying the silence that surrounds them. after a little while Alan's phone rings.
In a daze from Jan's affection, he answers the phone without checking who it is.
"Good morning, Alan speaking." He says groggily.
"Alan! where the hell are you? you are supposed to in today!"
a disapproving voice boomed through the phone, jolting him out of his blissful post-sex stupor.
Alan sits up abruptly in a panic. He completely forgot about work today.
"Oh dammit! I uh...overslept! i'll be in as soon as can!" Alan stammers knowing it was a poor excuse
Jan is laying down next to him silently giggling.
Alan jumps up and starts throwing his clothes on as the voice continued. "You were supposed to be here an hour ago! you have a rough night or something?"
the voice continues sarcastically, "Well, I had a....late night." Alan replies sheepishly. The voice on the other end doesn't need any more information than that to get the picture, "Yeah, yeah. Get your ass in here Alan!"
Jan is silently giggling uncontrollably on the bed at Alan's embarrassment.
Alan quickly pulls his sweater on while frantically looking for one of his shoes.
"I'll be in as soon as I can, alright?" Alan says impatiently, his mind racing a mile a minute.
After finding the shoe, he quickly slips it on and grabs his phone.
Alan takes a deep breath and turns to Jan, who is still laying in bed with a smug expression on her face.
"I'm sorry! I have to go!" Alan says as he makes for the door.
as he reaches the front door, Jan calls out to him. "Wait!"
Alan turns and sees her running after him in nothing but the white panties she was wearing last night. He blushes at the sight as Jan runs up and plants one more kiss on him. "Have a good day. Hope I didn't get you in trouble."
Jan says with a smirk on her face. Alan can't help but laugh at her relaxed attitude.
"It'll be alright." He replies, returning her grin.
They share a knowing look. Alan lingers at the door for a moment, reluctant to leave the warmth of Jan's apartment. But eventually, he knows he has to go.
Alan leaves the apartment building in a hurry but with a slight smile
on his face. The cool air outside is a slap of reality, and he can't help but feel like he's on top of the world right now.
His mind is still in a whirlwind as he makes his way to the office, and he can't stop thinking about Jan and her apartment. The smell of her shampoo in her bathroom, her hands gripping the headboard while she came, the gentle way she kissed him goodbye. It's all Alan can think about.
