then get back to his office before their desire waned.
    Or…
    She grinned as a new idea formed in her mind. Here she sat
with very little on. A cell phone at her disposal. An empty floor with all
kinds of nooks and crannies to hide in. And a husband who deserved a really big
reward.
    What could be sexier than hide and seek? Especially when the
clues were a little risqué?
    Forgetting about her email, Leigh hopped up to find places
where she could leave an easily identified trail of visual clues for John to
follow on his phone.
    In the break room she took a picture of the water bottle
pressed against her neck and shoulder. The angle was just right to give him a
glimpse of her exposed breast as well. She saved the picture but didn’t send it
yet. Next she went to one of the nearby cubes that had a lamp turned on.
Careful to not disturb anything in the cube, she sat on the chair and propped
her feet up on the desk. Still using the water bottle as a prop, she took a
picture of her uncovered legs as she ran the bottle up the inside of one thigh.
This one she also saved without sending.
    Looking around the floor for the next place she could get a
picture without additional lighting, she found a corner office near the
stairway that had a door lit by a security light. She leaned against the wall
and untied the coat. Thank God the company was too cheap to install security
cameras on the upper floors or she wouldn’t be doing this. Letting the coat
drape open, she quickly snapped a pic of herself leaning against the doorframe.
She tried to get a downward angle so he could see as much of her as possible.
    Satisfied with her amateur photography, she scrolled to the
first picture and sent it to John’s phone with a note daring him to come find
her. He had programmed a special ring tone for her number so she thought he’d
check it pretty quickly.
    Unable to resist the cliché of it all, she stopped in the
copier room to snap a picture of her on the photo copier. Luckily there was a
door she was able to close before turning on the light. She sent the next
couple of pictures to John’s phone, allowing a minute or so between them.
    When she turned off the light to the copier room and opened
the door, she could see the light reflecting on the ceiling outside John’s
office. Her heart sped up. He must have gotten the pictures and was looking for
her. She’d have to move quickly now. She wanted to make it back to his office
without him finding her.
    Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if he did find her in one of
the dark corners or cubicles.
    Hmm… Either possibility was delicious.
    Hearing John calling her name spurred her into action. She
quietly made her way across the floor, taking care to keep to the shadows. Just
outside John’s office, she felt her phone vibrate. Leigh stepped into his
office then looked at the screen of her phone. It was John trying to call.
Thankfully she’d turned the ringer to silent so he wouldn’t be able to locate
her by sound.
    She clicked the “ignore” button to stop the incoming call,
then quickly took a picture of herself sprawled in one of John’s conference
chairs. Of course the belt on the coat had conveniently fallen loose, exposing
most of her to the camera.
    Once she sent that photo to John’s phone she dropped the
coat in the middle of the floor then sat in John’s chair at his desk. She
swiveled around so that the back was facing the doorway, hopefully hiding
most—if not all—of her once-again-naked self.
    It only took a few minutes before she heard someone enter
the office, stop, then push the door closed. She prayed no one other than John
had come in, then slowly spun the chair around to face him.
    The expression on John’s face seared her to the bone. Leigh
shivered, anticipating what he might do.
    John walked to his desk then leaned across, resting his
weight on the knuckles of both hands. “So what do I get now that I’ve found
you?”
    The husky tone of his voice sent another
