Her lack of a good marriage was doing weird things to her feelings and her libido. She didn’t know what it felt like to need sex so badly that she had to resort to toys. She and Reggie never needed them because they were more than enough for each other. Now she had an entire drawer of toys. The bullet and the rabbit were her other two best friends.
     
    “You going to eat?” Jin asked.
     
    “Oh, of course.” Tamika grabbed a plate and loaded it up. “Thank you so much for dinner. I don’t know what I would have done without it. I probably would have resorted to eating all of the peppermints in my candy dish.”
     
    He laughed, “Now the peppermints can live another day. Next time just let me know that you’re hungry and I can order us something. You put in a lot of hours and we can’t have you here starving.”
     
    She smiled appreciatively before she took a bite of the lamb. The flavor exploded in her mouth and she had to suppress a moan. She wasn’t good for conversation in the moment because she couldn’t look up from her plate. The sweet and spicy taste had her in its grasp. She loved Indian food because of how unapologetic it was. It was always savory and delicious. She’d never had any that was under-seasoned.
     
    She finally looked up from her plate and saw that Jin was staring at her. “What?”
     
    “Nothing, I think I just like watching you eat.”
     
    Tamika’s eyes widened in surprise. She was taken aback by his response and she wasn’t sure what to say.”
     
    “I’m sorry, that was totally inappropriate.”
     
    “N-no it’s okay. Why do you like watching me eat? Do I belong in the circus or something?”
     
    He laughed, “No, you just enjoy food. Whenever you eat, you just always look like you enjoy it. You taste everything and enjoy the flavor instead of just eating.”
     
    “You may have a point. I do have a special love affair with food, it’s sad, really.” 
    “It’s not sad, it’s the way that it’s supposed to be.”
     
    “Oh it’s sad. It’s so sad that I have to spend at least an hour on my treadmill a day. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to fit in this office.”
     
    “Oh please, you’re perfect and you would still be perfect even if you gained weight.”
     
    Tamika blushed. “Thanks, that means a lot coming from you.”
     
    “Why is that?”
     
    “I don’t know. I just really respect your opinion so when you have good things to say about me, it feels good.”
     
    “I don’t just say it to make you feel good; I say it because it’s truly what I believe. Although I have to admit that I’m happy that it makes you happy.”
     
    Tamika beamed at him, and she didn’t know what to say. She wasn’t sure if she was soaking up all of his attention because of what she wasn’t getting at home or if it was because she genuinely liked him. She began to believe that it was a horrible combination of both factors. She knew that she should bring it back to business, but she was enjoying his company entirely too much to end it there. She deserved to flirt a little and to have a little fun, even if she shouldn’t do it. A woman deserved to feel good every now and then and if she was married, then it was her husband’s job. But if he wasn’t doing his job, then what?
     
    Tamika took a deep breath and rose from her seat. She didn’t care about what happened anymore, she wanted Jin and nothing was going to stop her. Jin sat there in shock and watched as she stalked him like prey. She straddled him on the chair, her skirt hiked up around her waist and she slowly grinded against him, “Tell me something else good.”
     
    His hands went to her hips and he sunk his fingers into her soft flesh before he groaned and hardened. “Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked.
     
    “It’s what I’ve wanted for a while now. So are you going to give it to me or what?”
     
    He urgently pressed his lips against hers. She always wondered what it would be like
