The Challenge

         “Your need to improve your security.”
         The 'don't treat me like a child' look Hanna Mitchell gave Company Lawyer Alex Ramos, was effective. Her house had been broken into, her dog Mitch given a bait and she had a man in her house. One who could shatter her normal composure to non-existence with just one look.
         "The police advised me to upgrade security and I shall." Leaning forward, Hanna was unaware of how much of her bountiful unbound breasts were exposed. Eased of their burden, the thins straps of her top allowed the material in the front to take their full weight and Alex made no attempt to keep his eyes on her face.
         The woman had been a permanent distraction ever since he had joined her company four, long, sexually frustrating weeks ago. Every move, every smile and that damn gleam she got in her eye was a challenge. A statuesque five feet eleven inches, Hanna had short unevenly cropped blonde hair and a stunning smile that lit up her brown eyes. She never wore trousers, preferring skirts that showed her legs of to perfection, always aided and abetted by three inch heels on her strappy footwear. This gave Hanna height that would have intimidated most men, but not Alex.
         "Good." He replied, and what he saw was very good indeed. Alex set up his laptop and typed up major points from the files as well as questions he needed answers to. Rifling through paperwork, he found her perfume was proving a distraction and making things harder. Several things.


         Hanna tried not to stare at her company’s newest employee. A perfect seven inches taller than she was, Alex’s tailored suit couldn’t hide the results of a great workout routine. His thick dark hair was short at the back but longer at the front with an eye-catching streak of white in the forelock. So compelling were his grey eyes, the rest of his facial features were inconsequential. However, Hanna thought that without the mustache and closely trimmed beard he would look younger than his forty four years. An extremely handsome man, who dwarfed those around him, she had no doubt his physicality would be overwhelming for most women and, although Hanna was nervous, it was totally about hormones and nothing to do with size. Well… if she gave that matter due consideration, perhaps there was something about him that could intimidate her.


         Initially Alex was unaware that Hanna was lost in thinking about him, his size, what his hands would feel like on her body, and how in the silence, she thought she could hear her heart pounding over the fantasy she was weaving in her mind.
         There was something about the silence that made Alex look up. Hanna's hand was moving slowly from the base of her throat towards the rise of her breast. This action combined with the biting of her bottom lip and the way she was staring at him, hinted as to what she was thinking.
         "I think I'm going to put you over my knee and spank you for that."
         "What!" She was flustered and stared at him uncomprehendingly.
         "You were playing naughty then, and all by yourself. For that I should play naughty and spank you."
         "Like hell you will." Her tone was defiant, but he wondered if she was excited at the thought of lying across his lap, while his hands inflicted her punishment. As if guessing his thoughts, Hanna stepped back. "Counselor, next you'll be telling me you're into bondage."
         "I haven't been, but the last couple of nights have me considering the benefits." Alex pictured her tied to the bed naked, blindfolded, and groaned at the punishment his quickly swelling cock was taking in its confined quarters. He turned again to his computer for reprieve.
         Hanna moved away, but the scent lingered. He watched as deep in thought she picked up the banana and made no attempt to eat it.
         Only minutes before while lost in thought, she had picked that same banana up and placed the end of it between her teeth. When she had seen Alex watching and realised the sexual overtones of her action she had blushed, thrown it back in the bowl and walked away to check on Mitch. Now she was doing it again and Alex decided enough was enough.
         "Eat it."
         "Pardon!" Startled Hanna looked at him, again unaware of the fruit in her hand. Unaware that is, until he took hold of her hand and raised it so that the banana was touching her mouth.
         "Eat it."
         Hanna blushed and made to put it down, but Alex wouldn't let her. In fact, with his other hand he tore at the skin and started to peel it. His eyes were on the fruit and she wished she was telepathic. What exactly was he thinking? He peeled the skin back into four sections before lifting her hand so that the tip of the fruit was touching her lips. She opened her mouth in response and Alex felt a tightening in his already too tight groin area.
         "Eat it!" This time it was a demand. Hanna could almost feel the heat radiating from him. She licked her lips, and then the top of the banana. With Alex watching she took it into her mouth, letting her tongue play with it until Alex groaned. Thankfully it was firm so her gentle sucking caused no immediate disintegration, which was more than she could say about herself. Hanna marveled at how willing she was to use the fruit in a manner Alex could not fail to see as anything but erotic.
         "Want a bite?" She offered teasingly before taking a bite herself. Alex eye's met hers as he too bit into the fruit. They repeated this process twice more until a small piece of banana remained trapped in the bottom, surrounded by peel.
         "Use your tongue," It was a direction not a suggestion, and Hanna didn’t object. Her tongue worked the last of the banana into her mouth as Alex stepped forward.
         "Tut tut. Greedy little Hanna." He then proceeded to kiss her, letting his tongue steal the fruit from her mouth and place it in his. Hoping he was as sexually aroused as she was. Hanna moaned, partly in relief that she no longer had to wait. At last Alex Ramos was kissing her and as the kiss deepened and their tongues danced, she was sure the air around them became charged with electricity .



         Alex’s intention was to do nothing more than kiss her because God knows he'd been wanting to since they'd first met. Intention was one thing, instinct another. He pulled her close so she could feel his arousal. His lips moved to the side of her neck where he kissed and nipped, as Hanna moved her head slightly to give him access. He placed a hand between them over a silken covered breast. The thought of taking her loomed large in his mind, but the moan of pleasure from Hanna which should have encouraged him, was enough to cause him to pull back.
         "Damn it woman, you are too much in one package. You should be labelled 'dangerous'."
         "Really? I would of thought 'fragile - handle with care' more appropriate." Hanna was still breathing heavily and looked embarrassed that Alex had been the one to call a stop, but she managed a shaky laugh.
         Her joke fell flat. Alex replied seriously.
         "You are fragile, Hanna. Your physique may not be, by your psyche is." He ignored the look of dispute she gave, and explained. "I don't know what I've got into by accepting this job, but it is obvious that it both challenges and scares you. It's also something that is dangerous even for an intelligent, beautiful woman with the physique of an Amazon." He kissed her forehead and then stepped back to the reality. The sexual chemistry between them was not going to go away, but it would have to be controlled. “Besides, you could fire me for sexual harassment.”
         “And you could complain about sexual intimidation.” Her eyes went to his obvious state of arousal.
         “I could if it was true, but as sexy as you are, I’m not easily intimidated.”
         “Is that a challenge?”
         “Everything about this job is a challenge,” Alex leant forward and slowly ran his tongue lightly over her lips. “So let’s get this challenge started.” He sat down in front of the computer and started typing.

         Hanna pushed her disappointment aside. Alex Ramos had kissed her and seeing how aroused he still was, she acknowledged to herself that now the nervous expectation she had been feeling had passed, she had nothing to fear but a lot to look forward to.
