Hank

Hank took Thea to dinner out of town. The thing about being involved with a married woman was that you had to do everything in secret. He didn't mind a bit but it made things more real for Thea, and he knew she'd rather be in denial.

Thea sat so close to him when they got a table. He smiled as he took note of her glowing face, she looked so different now. She was radiating joy and he felt giddy knowing he was the cause of her happiness.

Her hand rested on his thigh and he took it in his. He rubbed it lazily with his thumb as they went through the menu. Thea pointed at what she wanted and he told the waiter when he came for their order.

"Thank you for bringing me here, Hank," Thea said.

"You're welcome."

She led his hand under her skirt and he looked straight into her eyes. Hank couldn't believe what his blushing princess was suggesting. Even now, she couldn't keep eye contact but she flipped her hair flippantly.

"Let's break few rules," she stated breathlessly and opened her laps beneath the table which he squeezed.

Why not? Hank's hand went higher and he stopped when his fingers found no material and only bare flesh.

"Panties, such a hassle."

"Yea?" he asked as he inserted a finger into her already wet pussy.

Thea gasped in reply then smiled slyly when he dipped two fingers in. He pushed her legs farther apart and she almost spilled her wine when he found her clit.

"Rest your head on my shoulder, we are going for a ride."

Thea obeyed and moaned softly in his ears. He motioned for the waiter to fill more wine into their glasses as Thea's legs shook underneath the table. He could tell she liked the idea of being caught with the way her body reacted. Her pussy juice was all over his fingers and he continued to tease her until she stared getting loud.

"Go to the bathroom, Thea." He wanted to give her the release she wanted but they were going to get busted if she came.

She stood awkwardly and he cleaned his fingers on the napkin as she walked to the bathroom. Hank beamed when he saw their food arriving. By the time Thea came back to the table, the waiter had left.

"You like?" he asked as she took a forkful of pasta.

"Very much."

They talked about things in general and he made sure they kept the conversation light. Hank enjoyed looking at Thea. There was just something about her that got him carried away. He kissed her hand when they finished eating and her eyes shone so brightly.

It wasn't lost on him that they had about three days left together. Her husband was going to be back from his trip and he was going to be leaving town. Thea wasn't coming with him, and it was foolish of him to have asked that of her anyway.

"We should get out of here?" he suggested.

"Can you drive?"

"Yea. I was barely drinking."

"Okay. Let's get out of here then."

Hank settled the bill and they left to the car. Hank turned on the radio as he drove and Thea switched the stations for a minute before settling for a hip hop channel.

"Not one of your slow shit," Thea said and looked at him.

"This is garbage. You want to compare this to my music collection?"

"I could sleep listening to your choice of music."

"It's calming, but you wouldn't know. You're tasteless."

"Takes one to know one."

"I beg to differ."

Thea smiled then yawned. She relaxed in the seat and soon he heard soft snore coming from her. The drive back to her office took about an hour and he shook her lightly when they arrived.

"Babe, we're home."

She groaned and he helped her out of the car. He got her bag from the back seat and carried her in. Thea was smiling like a fool as he help her out of her clothes.

"My baby is so tired."

"I'm not," she denied.

Hank laughed and watched as her eyes struggled to stay open. He helped her to the shower and did his best to wash her, Hank wrapped her in her bathrobe and sent her to bed. When he came out of the shower, Thea's eyes were still opened.

"I thought you'd be asleep by now."

Thea patted a spot on the bed and he sat with the towel still wrapped around his waist. Hank massaged her hands then sat at the foot of the bed to do the same to her feet.

"Hank, you're the best. I've never had a massage this intimate, I feel like I'm in heaven."

"I mean your toes are too cute to resist." He kissed them one after the other.

Thea giggled. "You flatter me."

"Rightfully so."

"I wanted to make you tea to help with your sleep..."

"I can take care of that, go to sleep."

He watched her sleep then went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He got his phone from the car and saw several messages and missed calls from Jamal. He was asking if Thea was with him since she wasn't picking her calls. Hank ignored the messages and gulped the glass of water.

He joined Thea in bed and rubbed her back when she swung one leg over his. His hand went to sleep from where her head was resting on it, he ignored it and watched her sleep peacefully.

Thea woke up in the middle of the night to make him tea, but he couldn't still sleep. He was scared what happened the previous night was going to occur again if he fell asleep, and he couldn't have that.

There was still bruising on her neck from the incident. She had covered it with makeup this evening and he felt disgusted that she had to deal with his mess. He didn't want to traumatize her further so his eyes stayed opened all through the night.

When the morning sun got through the curtains of the bedroom, he got up from bed. He was looking for something that didn't count as healthy when Thea joined him in the kitchen.

Hank kissed her on the mouth then asked, "Where can I get some unhealthy food? I'm starving."

Thea clasped her arms around his neck and he lifted her to the counter. "How was your night?"

"Best night ever," he said.

"Liar. You didn't sleep a wink." She touched his biceps and he caressed her face.

"Don't worry about me."

"But I do."

Hank felt touched. "I can catch a nap later while you work."

"If you need tea, I can always make you a cup. Back to the unhealthy food you're craving, I have loads of chocolate in a dispense machine I have in my work station."

"Are you kidding?"

"I'm not. I don't think you've ever been in my sanctuary."

"You've never invited me in."

"I'm inviting you now."

He helped her off the counter and she pulled him with her as she went to her workstation. The room was dark and she turned on the light. He saw the table where she worked and it was scattered with so many tools and materials.

Thea showed him the dispense machine and it was the same model as the one he saw in Jamal's office.

"Not this academic shit again."

Thea looked at him. "You've seen this before?"

"There's one in your husband's office."

"Oh, that's true. It's an investor's prototype but it never really went on market. This one however takes whatever answer you give it."

Hank touched a button when it showed a maths problem and three bars of chocolate fell out. He stuffed the sweet in his mouth as they walked back to the kitchen. Thea made toast and he watched as she ate.
