The woman brings out a tray of rings tucked into a velvet box. There are several different, elegant styles, and all so very beautiful. And expensive. Platinum and diamonds no smaller than three carrots at least. These are the kinds of rings where I will feel the weight of it on my finger.
“Do you like any of these?” Lonnie asks.
“Are you kidding? I love them all.”
My head is spinning as I look at each one. There’s one in particular that catches my eye, though. It’s not the biggest, or the most elaborate. But it’s absolutely perfect. It’s three diamonds set in a simple platinum band.
I don’t say anything, but Lonnie sees the ring I’ve chosen and picks it up. He must have been able to tell by the look on my face when I saw it.
“This is the one, right?” he asks.
I can only nod. The ring is so stunning it takes my breath away and the words right out of my mouth.
He slips it onto my finger, and it fits perfectly, as if it were made for me. We are silent as he holds my hand in his, looking down at the ring on my finger. There’s tension in the air, but not in a bad way. It’s thick with an emotion I can’t necessarily place. It’s just weight all around me. There’s something comforting about it. I wonder if he can feel it too.
This is supposed to be a business deal between us, but right now, that’s not at all what this feels like.

Lonnie
Seeing Savanna with the ring on her finger hits me like a fist to the chest. I’ve never been the kind of guy to settle down. Not that I’ve never wanted to, I’ve just never found the right woman who made me want the domestic life. But seeing Savanna again… something has changed. I feel it in every fiber of my body. I’m also not the kind of guy who get emotional about much, but right now, there are no words to describe how I feel.
I pay for the ring and we leave. As I drive, I keep glancing at the ring, sparkling on her finger. I keep catching her glancing at it as well. She takes my breath away. We drive downtown to the office in silence, and I wonder if she feels that something has shifted between us too.
When we get back to the office, we each go to our own offices, says a terse goodbye as not to attract much attention. I sit down at my desk, the sun streaked across the room. There’s so much work to be done, and this little trek today will no doubt put me behind, but still, I can’t seem to get my head in the game.
I can still smell her on my fingers. I put them up to my nose and breathe in her sweet scent. It’s addictive. It sets off fireworks in my head. Each time I smell her, my body wakes up. I can’t stop. Without realizing it, I keep bringing my fingers to my nose. I need it like air, like a drug.
My dick is a rock in my slacks. I get up and go to my private bathroom and lock the door in case Mick is around. I don’t want to be interrupted.
I unzip my pants and roll down my boxer briefs a bit, letting my erection free, finally. I stroke my cock slowly, wanting this feeling to last. I brace myself on the sink with one hand, pumping my cock with my other. Twisting slowly from base to tip, paying extra attention to the head and the sensitive spot just below the ridge. I picture Savanna in the passenger seat of my car, her legs spread for me, her pussy so hot and wet on my fingers. I pump a little faster, remembering how she lifted up her ass to give me better access. I think about her finger, dipping into her pussy and then tracing my lips with her sweet, sweet juices. Sucking her finger clean. My dick is weeping now with precum, and I focus on the head, jerking it in short strokes. Her sounds from earlier fill my head, and I hold my fist still, and fuck into it, imagining it’s Savanna’s tight pussy.
My mind drifts to the look on her face when she saw the ring and when I slipped it on her finger.
My dick explodes suddenly and I’m coming so hard I have to steady myself against the sink to keep from falling over. My mind can’t form a straight thought for a moment. My eyes can’t see. I’m lust blind.
When the world comes back into focus, I realize that when she saw that ring for the first time and I slipped it onto her finger, everything changed in that moment. This stopped being a business deal between us.
