When he was opening the panel and working, I took the time to catalogue everything I could about him. His eyes that were as blue as the ocean on the Gulf Coast, his dark hair that he’s sporting in a messy way, down to the delicious build of his body. He’s not overly muscular, but there’s enough muscle on him to know he works out.
Nate catches me practically gawking at him and it spurs me into action, “Umm…I guess I’ll let you get to work. If you need me, my office is the second door on the left. I’ll keep the door open, just in case.”
“Sounds good, I should know something shortly,” he has a grin on his face and I quickly duck my head in shyness.
“Oh, okay. Uh…that works,” I mumble out and then start heading to my office.
“Hey Kori?”
My eyes are down and I’m trying to duck out of this awkward situation as fast as I can, but his question stops me in my tracks.
“Yes?” I respond.
“I’ll see you soon,” he winks and then goes back to his work.
I blow out an exasperated breath, knowing full well I’m in trouble when it comes to Nate, but he just might be the best kind of trouble there is.
Returning to my office, I plop, yes, plop down so hard it makes the chair spin. I nearly squeal out loud, refraining at the last minute. That’s all I would need is for Nate to see me making a fool out of myself on the first day. Boy, if Colton would have told me just how handsome his uncle was, shoo, I probably would have looked elsewhere.
I get back into the swing of things and try to lose myself in my work. Only every few minutes my thoughts wander back to Nate. It’s probably pathetic. I just met him, but the way he made me feel when his soulful eyes met mine, I felt the magnetism with a simple touch, and the wink he gave me — add that all together, and I am completely smitten.

I hated seeing Kori leave me. The view I got when she turned to leave, it was almost worth it. Shit, if Colton would have given me this in with Kori before, I probably would have been to her shelter long before now.
Now though, now, I’m going to be playing catch up. She’s in my sights and I’m not letting her go.
I return to my work disassembling the plate cover for the electrical box. I’m hoping it’s something easy and not too expensive. Colton told me the shelter is doing good profit wise, enough to bring him on part-time, but other than that, I don’t know what a place like this takes to maintain, let alone run, on a day to day basis.
Once I have the panel plate off, I look around at the breakers. It’s rare that only one breaker will trip, but after seeing the outside, I’d say Kori does like to go a little overboard.
“A-ha,” I mumble out loud, as I see a loose wire that feeds the breaker. I tighten it back up and then put the breaker in the on position. Leaving everything out and in the open, I walk to Kori’s office and knock on her open door, “Hey Kori, you got a minute?”
“Sure, let me save this really quick,” her eyebrows are furrowed as she’s concentrating on her computer. Fuck, but she’s beautiful.
“No problem. Pretty sure I figured out the electrical problem,” I tell her as I’m leaning against her door jam.
“Really, that fast?” she stands up and damn is her body something I want to get my hands on.
“I’m hoping this is it, but I need to know where you have the Christmas lights plugged in at,” my gaze never leaves hers as she slowly walks towards me. I can see the heat in her eyes and how she takes me in from head to toe. Yeah, Kori is going to be mine, forever.
“Oh, I’ll show you,” she tucks a stray hair behind her ear. I don’t move completely out of the way like most men would do, no instead I want to feel her anyway I can. Our bodies are facing each other as she turns to her side to go through the door. It’s a small door and it puts our bodies perfectly together. I can feel the curves and I can’t help but put my hands on her hips.
“Oh,” she whispers out. We’re both looking at each other. I can feel her body slowly melt into mine and the intake of her breath rushes over me.
Here in this moment, we‘re sandwiched together so closely, I can feel the hardening of her nipples, and I’m sure she can feel the damn cock stand that’s taken over my body.
