My boss looked at me sadly. “We will be sorry to see you go. 24-hour support is taxing. If Hunter hadn’t stopped travelling, you would have kept his job. We better let the team know.”

I followed him out of his office to the team workstations and watched him glare at Hunter. Some sort of male pissing competition was going on between them. “Xanthea just resigned. Unfortunately, she will be leaving us next month. She much preferred pc support over being on call on the helpdesk.” Again, he glared at Hunter. “There is enough work for both Hunter and Xanthea for the next month, so that is what she will be doing for the duration of her stay.”

I was inundated with well wishes and hugs from everyone on the team – except Hunter, until I finally escaped into the server room. I started doing some housekeeping on one of the servers and glanced at the almost finished empty server cupboard. I wondered if it would be finished before I left.



I heard the door to the server room close, and I turned around.

Hunter strode towards me. “He blames me.”

“It’s not your fault. You were installing servers around the country. He talks like you were on extended holidays.”

“I don’t want you to go.”

I shook my head. “The phone was keeping me up all night. They thought I was in the office not home in bed.”

Hunter stepped closer. I could almost feel his body against mine. “There are better things to do in bed to keep you up all night.” He moved his lips towards mine but then his head turned swiftly towards the door. “Someone’s coming.” He put his arms around me, pulled me into the empty server cupboard, shut the door behind us and put his index finger to my lips. I nodded, and he kissed me.



Hunter ended our kiss. I could hear voices outside the door and was not sure what to do. Hunter put his index finger to my lips and unzipped my dress while I listened to my boss speaking with one of the programmers on the other side of the door. I stepped out of my dress and kissed Hunter again. I felt his arms around me and became intoxicated by his lips against mine and just enough tongue to drive me wild until my bra joined my dress on the floor.

“Quiet,” he mouthed silently.

I nodded and tried to fall to my knees. Hunter held me up and started kissing down my neck to my breasts. My breathing increased and I almost moaned as he took my nipple in his mouth. Hunter looked up at me with my nipple in his mouth and put his index finger next to my nipple, silently telling me to be quiet. I almost giggled and took his hand to my mouth. I kissed and nibbled his palm until he nipped my nipple. I almost squealed, pushed his palm into my mouth to help me keep quiet and felt myself getting wetter.
