Next day, in the office

The next morning, Meg woke feeling disoriented and slightly ashamed. Memories of the previous night's encounter with Josh and her subsequent actions flooded back, causing her cheeks to flush. She pushed the thoughts aside and focused on getting ready for work.

At the office, Meg found it difficult to concentrate. The fluorescent lights seemed harsher than usual, and the constant hum of activity grated on her nerves. She kept replaying the interaction with Josh in her mind, analyzing every word and gesture. Part of her was disgusted by his behavior, but another part—a part she was ashamed to acknowledge—felt a thrill at being desired so openly.

As she sat at her desk, staring blankly at her computer screen, she felt a presence looming behind her. A familiar, unwelcome warmth spread through her as she turned to see James McCarthy leaning against the doorframe of her office, his eyes glinting with that all-too-familiar mixture of charm and something darker. His crisp suit only emphasized the sharpness of his features, and for a moment, she was caught in the juxtaposition of professionalism and the insidious way he often looked at her.

"Meg," he purred, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. "You look a little out of sorts today. Long night?"

His voice was smooth, like honey laced with poison, and Meg felt a rush of heat rise in her cheeks. She clenched her jaw, forcing herself to meet his gaze. "Just tired, James. So much work to catch up on."

He moved closer, his presence filling the small space between them like smoke curling around a flame. "You know, sometimes it’s good to take a break.

James chuckled softly, his eyes roaming over Meg's tense shoulders. "You're carrying all that stress in your upper back, aren't you? I can see it in the way you're holding yourself."

Meg shifted uncomfortably in her chair, acutely aware of how close he was standing. "It's nothing, really. I'm fine."

But James wasn't deterred. He moved behind her, his hands hovering just above her shoulders. "You know, I've been told I have magic fingers. A quick massage could do wonders for that tension."

Meg's breath caught in her throat. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, smell the subtle notes of his cologne. Her mind flashed back to the previous night, to Josh's leering gaze and her own shameful actions afterward. She knew she should refuse, should maintain professional boundaries, but the memory of that release, the way it had made her feel, lingered in the recesses of her mind like a forbidden whisper.

“James, I really don’t think that’s—” she started, but the words faltered as he pressed his fingers gently against her shoulders.

His touch was both soothing and unsettling, a confusing blend of comfort and violation. She felt the tension in her muscles start to yield, just as her resolve began to waver. “Just relax,” he murmured, and for a fleeting moment, she found herself wanting to lean into him, craving the kind of attention she had tried so hard to dismiss.

As he kneaded her shoulders, Meg’s heart raced, each breath a battle between desire and self-preservation. “You know,” he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper, “I’ve always admired your work ethic. But even the best lawyers need to unwind sometimes.”

As James continued his ministrations, he leaned forward slightly. From this vantage point, he had a clear view down the front of her blouse. The top buttons were undone, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of cleavage. Her lacy black bra peeked out, a stark contrast against her pale skin.

James felt his pulse quicken as he noticed the faintest outline of her nipple pressing against the delicate fabric. The sight was intoxicating, and he had to stifle a groan of desire. His fingers trembled slightly as he kneaded her shoulders, his imagination running wild.

Meg shifted in her chair, causing the fabric of her blouse to pull taut across her chest for a moment. James caught a fleeting glimpse of more creamy skin, the curve of her breast straining against the confines of her bra.

As James' fingers worked their magic, Meg felt the tension in her muscles start to melt away. Despite her initial hesitation, she found herself leaning into his touch, a soft sigh escaping her lips. The pressure of his hands sent waves of pleasure coursing through her body, each movement eliciting a new sensation.

"Oh, that feels incredible," Meg murmured, her eyes fluttering closed. She was lost in the blissful release, barely registering James' crude comments.

"I bet you like it when I touch you there," James said, his voice husky. "I can feel how much you want this."

Meg hummed in agreement, too caught up in the sensations to process his words. Her body felt like it was floating, weightless and free from the burdens that usually weighed her down. As James' hands moved lower, working out a particularly stubborn knot.

Meg arched her back slightly as James' skilled fingers found a particularly sensitive spot. "Oh, right there," she breathed, lost in the blissful sensations. Warmth radiated through her body, melting away the tension she'd been carrying.

James leaned in closer, his breath hot against her ear. "You like that, don't you?" he murmured. "I bet you've been aching for a man's touch."

But Meg barely registered his words, too caught up in the exquisite pleasure coursing through her. Every nerve ending felt electrified. Her skin tingled deliciously where his hands made contact. She let out a soft moan as he worked out another knot.

"Mmm, that's heavenly," Meg sighed. Her eyes remained closed, head lolling back. She was floating on a cloud of bliss, muscles turning to butter under his touch.

James seized the moment, taking advantage of her blissful state. His hands slid lower, caressing the contours of her shoulders and down her arms, a tantalizing prelude to a more intimate exploration. “You know, Meg,” he continued, his voice sultry and low, “it’s perfectly natural to want more from life… from work. The pressure can be overwhelming, and sometimes you just need someone to help you unwind.”

A flicker of resistance ignited inside her, but it was quickly drowned out by the softness of his touch and the heady rush of endorphins swirling in her veins. The rational part of her mind screamed that this was wrong—there were boundaries, laws, and consequences. But as she surrendered further to the pleasure he was offering, those thoughts blurred into the background.

James' hands continued their rhythmic massage, his fingers working their way down Meg's spine. Each touch sent ripples of pleasure through her body, melting away the tension she'd been carrying for so long. The office around them faded into a hazy backdrop, insignificant compared to the exquisite sensations flooding her senses.

"You know, Meg," James murmured, his voice a low rumble that seemed to vibrate through her very being, "a woman like you shouldn't have to carry all this stress alone. You need a man in your life, someone to take care of you, to help you unwind."

Meg barely registered his words, lost in a fog of blissful relaxation. Her head lolled back, eyes closed in rapture as James' skilled fingers found another knot of tension. She let out a soft moan of pleasure, completely oblivious to the loaded nature of his insinuations.

James worked out the final knots of tension, leaving Meg in a blissful, relaxed state. Her muscles felt like warm honey, tension melting away under his skilled touch. As he finished, Meg slumped forward onto her desk, eyes still closed in rapture.

"Mmm, your fingers really are magic," Meg murmured dreamily. "I feel like putty."

She turned to face him, cheeks flushed and hair slightly mussed. In her hazy state, she gave him a coy smile.

James smiled down at Meg, his eyes glinting with barely concealed desire. "I'm glad I could help you relax," he purred, his voice low and smooth. He reached out, gently taking her hand in his. His thumb traced lazy circles on her palm, sending tingles up her arm.

"You know, Meg," he continued, his tone soft and persuasive, "I hate to see you so stressed all the time. A woman like you shouldn't have to carry such heavy burdens alone."

His fingers continued their gentle caress, lulling Meg into a false sense of security. The office around them seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in a bubble of warmth and sensation.

"I... I manage just fine," Meg murmured, but her voice lacked conviction. The massage had left her feeling boneless and pliant, her usual sharp wit dulled.

James leaned in closer. "Do you really, Meg? I've seen how tense you've been lately. The long hours, the pressure... it takes its toll." His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving goosebumps in their wake. "You need someone to take care of you, to help you truly unwind."

James' fingers continued their sensual exploration, tracing delicate patterns along Meg's arm. The air between them grew thick with tension, charged with unspoken desire. Meg's breath quickened as James leaned in even closer, his lips nearly brushing her ear.

"You know, Meg," he whispered, his voice husky with want, "I've always admired your dedication. But a woman like you needs more than just career success. You need passion, release... pleasure."

His words sent a shiver down her spine, awakening sensations she'd long suppressed. The rational part of her mind screamed in protest, but it was quickly drowned out by the intoxicating cocktail of endorphins flooding her system.

James' hand moved to her thigh, his touch feather-light yet electric. "Tell me, Meg," he murmured, "are you on the pill?"

The question caught her off guard, piercing through the haze of arousal. "No," she replied without thinking, her mind still clouded by the lingering effects of the massage.

As soon as the word left her lips, Meg's eyes flew open, reality crashing back in. She jerked away from James' touch, her cheeks flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and indignation.

"That's... that's a very personal matter," she stammered, trying to regain her composure. "It's completely inappropriate for you to ask me that."

James' eyes lit up at Meg's response, a predatory smile spreading across his face. "Oh, that's wonderful news, Meg," he said, his voice dripping with false concern. "Those pills, they're not natural, you know. Pumping your body full of synthetic hormones... it's no wonder women been so tense and drained lately."

He leaned in closer, his breath hot against her ear. "You see, the pill, it sucks the energy right out of a woman. Dulls her natural instincts, suppresses her true desires. But you, Meg... you're pure, untainted. Your body knows what it wants, what it needs."

His hand returned to her thigh, fingers tracing lazy circles on the fabric of her skirt. "Think about it," he continued, his voice low and hypnotic. "Your monthly cycle, it's like the tides, ebbing and flowing with the moon. It's primal, powerful. When you're ovulating, your skin glows, your scent changes... it drives men wild with desire."

Meg felt a rush of heat flood her cheeks, her body responding traitorously to his words and touch. James pressed on, emboldened by her reaction.

"And your fertile days... oh, Meg, that's when a woman is at her most beautiful, her most passionate. Your body is practically begging to be filled, to be bred. It's nature's way of ensuring the survival of our species."

James continued, his voice growing more passionate. "Think about it, Meg. For millennia, women have been the nurturers, the life-givers. It's encoded in your very DNA. Every curve of your body, every hormonal shift, it's all designed for one purpose - to create and nurture new life."

His hand moved from her thigh to her lower abdomen, resting there with a gentle pressure. "This womb of yours, it's a miracle of nature. It's meant to cradle a growing child, to bring forth the next generation. But modern society, it's trying to strip that away from women, convince them it's a burden rather than a blessing."

Meg felt a flutter of unease mixed with a strange, primal excitement. She tried to protest, her voice wavering. "But... but it's a choice, not a predetermined role. Women can decide if and when they want children."

James shook his head, his eyes burning with conviction. "Nature gave you this gift, Meg. The ability to create life, to nurture it within your own body. That's not just a choice, it's your biological destiny. Society may try to deny it, but your body knows the truth."

Confusion swirled in Meg's mind. Part of her wanted to argue, to assert her independence and career ambitions. But another part, a deeper, more instinctual part, resonated with his words. She found herself humoring him, entertaining the idea.

"What... what would it.."

Meg's hand drifted to her abdomen, her fingertips brushing lightly over the fabric of her blouse. She found herself wondering what it might feel like - the subtle changes, the gradual swelling, a new life growing within. A mix of curiosity and apprehension swirled through her.

"I... I can't even imagine what that would be like," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

James smiled, a look of reverence in his eyes. "It's not something I could ever truly know or understand. That's your blessing to experience. The miracle of creation, nurturing a new life inside you - it's the most natural thing in the world and the woman role."

His hand covered hers, pressing gently against her belly. "Tell me, Meg, have you ever experienced the primal pleasure of a partner filling your womb with his seed? Feeling that warm rush deep inside as nature takes its course?"

Meg's cheeks flushed crimson. She shook her head, avoiding his intense gaze. "N-no, I've always used protection. Condoms, you know..."

As the words left her lips, Meg's eyes inadvertently dropped to James' lap and she let out an audible gasp. The prominent bulge straining against his tailored slacks was impossible to miss. It looked massive, the thick outline clearly visible through the fabric. The sight snapped Meg out of her trance-like state, reality crashing back with startling clarity.

She jerked away from his touch, nearly toppling her chair in her haste. Her cheeks burned crimson as she stammered, "I... I think we should get back to work now."

James smirked, clearly enjoying her flustered state. "Of course, Meg. We do have a lot to accomplish today." He stood slowly, making no effort to hide his arousal. "I thoroughly enjoyed our little... chat. Perhaps we can continue it another time."

As he turned to leave, Meg couldn't tear her eyes away from the tantalizing bulge. Her mouth went dry as she imagined what it might look like freed from the confines of his pants. She shook her head, trying to banish the lewd thoughts.

"Y-yes, work. We should... work," Meg mumbled, her usual eloquence deserting her. She could barely form a coherent sentence, let alone say a proper goodbye.

James paused at the door, his eyes raking over her one last time. "Until later, Meg," he purred, before sauntering out of her office.
