Under the Hawaiian Sun - Love Under Lockdown

“Have you prepared the questions for me to ask the deponent today?” he inquires.
I flip through the papers quickly and lay some of them before him.
“Yes, I have them here. I’ve written quite a few. I hope that’s ok?” I ask a little cautiously.
“That’s fine. Would you mind reading through them for me?” he asks politely.
I stammer a yes, caught a bit off-guard by this request.
I pick up the papers and rifle through them, trying to keep my knees from shaking. I’m so nervous. He keeps his eyes on me the whole time I’m reading. I try not to notice his incredible facial structure. Those cheekbones…
I fumble and drop everything I’m holding to the floor. All this is so embarrassing, not just because I have to bend over in front of him to gather my notes, but also because my panties are soaked. I’m so turned on by him.
Thank goodness he doesn’t know about that last part. I try to pick up the papers quickly.
“Sorry. I think we are pretty much done though,” I mumble.
I hope he’s not upset at me for messing up at the end. He’s silent a few seconds before answering.
“Well, I’m very impressed.”
The way he says it makes my stomach turn. Not in an uncomfortable way, but in a way that makes me both happy and nervous. I get the strange feeling that he might be talking about more than just my deposition preparations. I try not to dwell on that possibility though. I need to remain level-headed today.
Eventually I manage to gather up all the papers and join him at the table. I try my best to stay professional as I put my notes back in order. I read out the last few questions, though I don’t think it really matters much.
Afterwards he nods, and thanks me for my work. He leaves the room, saying he’ll be back to get me when it’s time to head to court. He has phone calls to make.
I breathe a sigh of relief once I’m by myself again. That was so humiliating. I put the papers away and double-check that I have everything we need for our appointment. Then I reapply my makeup and fuss with my clothes.
We still have some time left to wait, so I check my emails, then gaze out the window of the hotel room. I can’t wait to lounge by the pool later and catch some sun. I smile, imagining myself doing that already. A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts.
“Time to go,” he calls from the other side.
I hurriedly grab my purse and briefcase. The sooner this is finished, the sooner I can relax. I open the door and follow him out of the hotel and into the car that waits for us.
We share a silent ride, wrapped in our own thoughts. Mine are about work. I’ve shifted back into professional mode. I want to succeed as much as I can in my career, and in order to do that, I need to make sure I do a good job on every assignment. I can’t make any mistakes.
The car slows as we reach our destination. I nervously pull on my blazer, and fix the hem of my skirt. I think I notice Randall looking at me, but maybe I’m imagining things. The glance was so quick. Maybe it’s just because I want him to notice me so bad? I don’t know.
I sigh, then force myself to prepare for the upcoming meeting. This is a major client that we are working with today. That’s another reason why it’s such a big deal that I was chosen to be here.
The car pulls up outside of the house we’ll be convening in and I follow my boss out. The warm air hits our faces, but there is a slight breeze. I can’t believe how nice that feels. I love Hawaii, I love being here with Randall, and I’m starting to wish we never had to go back, as naïve as I know that sounds.
Yet I’m still nervous for this deposition and I really hope it goes smoothly. Only then can I concentrate on the fun of being on this island with my hot, rich boss.
Chapter 6
Randall
Sitting in the deposition, I reflect on how pleased I am with the way things are being handled so far. I definitely made the right choice, asking Mary to help me with this assignment. I don’t think I have ever been more prepared for anything.
Everything is going smoothly. The client seems impressed by the detailed questions I am asking the witness. I feel impressed with myself too. This is all thanks to Mary. She did an excellent job assisting me earlier today.
Speaking of earlier, when she bent over, all I could think about was how great her ass looked in her professional skirt suit. I wanted to rip it off her so badly. It’s still occupying my mind. I can’t seem to stop myself from these thoughts no matter how hard I try.
