"Hey Frankie, fancy coming to help me read some meters in the boiler room? Shouldn't take too long. I've already asked our boss if you can come off your work to help so don't worry."
The room that Steve is referring to is what we all call the "boiler room" that's located at the back of the office. It's windowless and full of pipes and machinery. The idea of reading meters sounds incredibly boring but the thought of being somewhere dark and out of the way with Steve alone gives me butterflies.
Steve and I work in the same department and ever since we started working together just a few months ago, we've been engaged in back-and-forth flirty texts and glances across our desks. He would always tease saying he'd do "naughty things" to me in the boiler room, and now he's asking me to help him out and I want to see where this could go.
Along the way to this room, we bump into Greg, a co-worker from another department, who said, "Hey guys, where are you two off to? Perhaps I can help?"
We both immediately decline, maybe a bit too eagerly as I got the vibe that Greg was intrigued by what we were up to, but luckily, Steve was able to explain exactly what was happening, and we moved along before Greg could see my excitement at being in this room alone with Steve.
As we arrive at the room, I walk in first. Wearing a short black dress and ankle boots with my hair up in a high ponytail, I was hopeful to get the attention of Steve. When I turn to face him, I catch him glancing at me from my waist down and he quickly looked back up as though nothing had happened. However, my insides were doing flips and I knew he was checking me out.
"Right, there are three meters we need to record," Steve says, moving his finger to point them all out: one just in front of us, another behind some machinery, and the third up high on a wall. "Come forward to the first meter, I'll show you what you need to read out."
He showed me what I was looking for and quickly wrote the numbers down.
He then asked, "Can you go to the meter at the back and shout out the numbers from the line similar to the one we just did?"
To get to this meter, I had to step over some machinery on the floor and then lean over some pipes. I could tell some of the pipes in this room were hot so I was trying to be careful and not burn anything. I slowly approached the pipe and started tapping it quickly to test if it was hot.
I could hear him laughing a little at what I was doing, and he said, "Don't worry, that particular pipe isn't going to be hot." Thankfully he was right and I began to lean over as much as I could.
The meter wasn't really that readable, so I asked him, "Can you come over and shine your phone torch light to the spot so I can read it better?" and he nodded. However, with there being so much machinery around, he had to stand directly behind me whilst doing this.
As I began to lean over again to read the numbers, I felt his body connect to mine, and I jolted a little. He thought he hurt me and moved back a bit but the light had moved again, meaning I couldn't see it.
I said to him, "Oh no Steve, you didn't hurt me, it's ok" and gestured for him to come back.
Again, the front of his body started to lean against the back of mine, with his free hand now holding on to my hip for stability, and I couldn't move... not because I was stuck but because I didn't want to. The more I leaned forward, the more he leaned with me and the tighter the hip holding got, and within a couple of seconds I could feel him enjoying the position we were in.
Being like this, I felt my heart rate increase as I was enjoying his body on me so much. I instinctively started to slowly move my bum back into his groin so I could feel him getting hard on me even more. I start to feel myself get wet but nerves got the better of me and I coughed and said, "Sorry, Steve, I was just trying to get a better look," and I then read the numbers he was after.
He didn't seem to mind and wrote the numbers down, then moved back out of the machinery area so I could come back over.
When we were back in the main part of the room, he must have seen how flustered I looked and said to me, "Oh, are you OK, Frankie?"
My poker face giving everything away, I shyly said, "Yeah, yeah, all is OK... how do I read the next one?"
With it being high up on the wall, I was going to need to use something to step on to read it. There were a set of step ladders leaning against the wall behind some machinery so I quickly moved to grab them.
Leaning over the machinery to get these meant that my dress rode up to show some of my bum. Wearing only a thong underneath, I was very aware my cheeks were on display but the way I was feeling, I wanted him to notice, so I slowly grabbed the ladders, making my dress move up even more.
Once I turned around, I was able to see him adjusting himself, and I smiled, carried them over, adjusted my dress, and apologised for the show.
He took the ladders, put them out for me, and said, "I didn't mind what I saw."
This made my heart flutter even more.
As I slowly get onto the first rung, my fear of heights comes in and I'm a little frozen to the wall. He notices this pretty quickly and without asking, he grabs my hips and says, "I'll make sure to keep a hold of you as you step up the ladder."
His touch makes me almost fall but I regain my balance and trust that he'll be there for me.
As I move up the ladder to the second rung, I pause and his hands start to move down my body and his thumbs graze my bum cheeks. I've one more rung to go before I can see the meter and my fear takes over once again.
He gently starts to rub his thumbs on my bum and encourages me to move up. I enjoy the touch he gives me and part of me wants to stay there feeling it more but I know I need to move.
I take a deep breath and shakily place my foot on the next rung and force myself to move up. As I do, I feel his hands move down to my thighs and I let out a little moan.
I quickly cover my mouth and hope he didn't hear it, but I can't look down to check for fear of falling off. He doesn't seem to react so I feel he's not heard it and I finally get my eyes on the meter.
I start to shout out the numbers but I realise both hands are still on my thighs. I repeat them in case he's not heard and yet he still doesn't let go. I assume that he can't write whilst making sure I'm safe so I shout down to him, "I'm going to come down whilst repeating the numbers out loud so I remember them."
He nods to agree and keeps his hands exactly where there are. My nerves about coming down the ladder are worse than those coming up and I just stay there repeating the numbers and not moving. I then feel him squeeze my thighs and say, "It's OK, Frankie, I've got you, don't worry."
I nod and slowly move one of my feet down to the next rung and once I've touched it, I quickly move the other foot. However, his hands never moved off my bare skin and now he's touching the sides of my bum from under my dress.
I stand there frozen, enjoying the touch of his hands on my bare skin, and start to feel him move his hands across my bum, caressing it and giving it so much attention.
I start to shake from nerves and he asks, "Is this OK?" and I turn to him and nod. "I've been staring up at you to make sure you were safe on the ladder for so long and enjoying the view quite a bit. I couldn't help but touch you as you came down."
I forget my fear of coming down the ladder and I slowly take a step back to the bottom rung, forcing his hands to move up my body, still under my dress to my hips and waist. I moan even more and this time I don't care if he can hear me. I feel myself so wet, it's hard not to let go and touch but I know there's one more step to the floor.
