The office was just about empty, but she was still behind her desk, typing away. The report was almost finished. Her assistant popped her head through the door.

"There is something out here for you, I will bring it in before I leave.." Aileen disappeared for a second, then returned, holding a small silver envelope.

"Who brought that at this hour?" Makayla looked up from the screen.

"I don't know, but man was he hot!" Aileen dropped the envelope on her desk and with a flourish and a quick goodnight she left.

Makayla reached for the envelope. Sliding her purple polished fingernail under the flap, she broke the seal and pulled out the card. It was an invitation.

Scanning it quickly she realized it was the invite she needed to get into the grand opening of a new club across town. She had been dating Jeff for a few months and he and his partner just finished the construction and odd and ends on a dance club across town. The hot guy must have been Jeff, Makayla had never met his partner.

Glancing at the clock, she had just enough time to run home, change, catch a cab and make it before the lines got long. Flicking off the computer, she grabbed her briefcase and hurried through the office.

Arriving at her house, she dashed into the shower. Mentally reviewing her wardrobe, she shampooed and conditioned her hair. Stepping out, she dried off and applied lotion quickly to her body, leaving it silky and smelling faintly of ocean breezes. Grabbing her thigh highs, she pulled them and attached them to the matching thong/garter contraption. Slipping on her bra, it cupped her 36c breasts, giving her ample cleavage. She slipped the eggplant cocktail dress over her head. It was simple, but classically cut, with large cutouts in the back and front. It showed off her cleavage and a smooth section of her upper back. After twisting her curly hair up with some diamond pins and slipping on a necklace and shoes, she was ready to go.

She hailed a cab. Applying her lipstick carefully, she finished just as they pulled up. Looking out the window, the line was significant, but not too long.

Makayla paid the cabbie and stepped up onto the sidewalk. She walked to the doorman and presented her invite.

"Your name please ma'am" The burly bouncer scanned his list.

"Makayla Douglas. I am a guest of Jeff Merritt" Makayla watched as the bouncer looked up and down for her name.

"Yes Miss Douglas. Thank you for coming to Enigma and enjoy your evening." He moved himself aside and allowed her entrance to the club.

Makayla walked through the darkened entryway and into the main room of the club. It was decorated to please the senses. Shiny chrome and black leather, a glass bar and a ample dance floor. Tables of all sizes were scattered throughout. There were also VIP rooms on a balcony that over looked the floor. They were little rooms, sunk back into the wall, most with private bars. Enigma catered to everyone, from the working-class Friday night dancer, to the thousand dollar a bottle VIP patron.

There were few people in the club now, mostly investors and A list invitees. Makayla wandered to the bar, trying to spot Jeff.

"Hello there..are you looking for someone?" A gentleman next to her inquired.

"Why yes, I am actually looking for Jeff Merritt.." She continued gazing over the room.

"You must be the infamous gorgeous girlfriend he talks about all the time. Makayla right?" The gentleman stuck out his hand " I am Thaddeus White, Jeff's partner. You can call me Thad." He shook her hand warmly.

"Thad..a pleasure to meet you. I was wondering when I would have the honor of meeting "the brains behind Enigma" Makayla laughed at the "nickname" Jeff had christened the business whiz with.

"Me..the brains behind Enigma, hardly. That line out there is all Jeff" Thad looked toward the door. He felt bad for Makayla. She really didn't know Jeff at all. Half of those women in that line outside, had some sexual contact with Jeff Merritt, even in the last few months he had been dating this beautiful creature. He glanced at her again. She was petite, around 5'3''. She couldn't have weighed more than 115 pounds. She had honey brown eyes and the curliest auburn hair. A smattering of freckled across her cheek bones contrasted with the ample amount of cleavage she was showing. The expanses of milky white skin made him shift in his stool uncomfortably. He wasn't sure why Jeff was involved with her, not his usual leggy blonde type.

Makayla had taken note of his silence, and his quick perusal of her body. It had been awhile since someone looked at her like that. She felt a warm blush creep across her cheeks.

Just then Jeff's voice cut through the reverie.

"Hey cutie-pie. I am so glad you could make it!" Jeff swept Makayla up in his arms. He was a tall guy, not too muscled, but lean. He bent for a kiss and Thad caught his eye, giving him a disgusted look. Winking, he deepened the kiss. He could feel Kayla's full lips rub against his. She was worth it while he kept her around. She had a petite body, luscious curves and a cuteness, he wouldn't say she was beautiful, that he found sexually stimulating.

"Kayla I see you have met my partner Thad." He motioned for her to sit back down again. A tall blonde talking to the bouncer caught his eye, so he didn't notice Thad getting a look at Kayla's delightfully round rear-end. She would just be another name in Jeff's novel sized black book.

"I have to jet sugar..I will be right back. Keep Thad company will you?" He motioned to his partner as he rushed to the blonde.

"So..Kayla, do you mind if I call you that?" Thad nodded to the bartender to refill her drink

"Go right ahead.." Kayla sipped the refreshed drink.

"So Kayla, what is it you do, If you don't mind me asking?" Thad was aware that he should be working the crowd, but he found this tiny woman appealing.

"Well I am a marine biologist normally, I work for the Boston Aquarium. But I was hired to coordinate a research project on cancer and Great White Sharks.Besides loving my work, it paid significantly more,and I was recently able to buy my dream house" She stopped and sipped her drink. She was accustomed to Jeff interrupting her at this point. Kayla's work , as much as it fascinated her, did nothing to interest Jeff.

"Great White Sharks, cancer and a dream house huh?" Thad slid off the stool and grabbed her drink. Gently guiding her off the stool and up the stairs to one of the VIP rooms. It was a deep blue and purple room, a large sofa and overstuffed chairs took up the space, surrounding a table on which he set their drinks.

" I hope you don't mind. Jeff is better at the mingling part..I am better at the business end. It is much quieter up here...so please continue." He sank down into the chair across from her.

Makayla explained to him the finer points of her project ,and when she was done he asked her about the details about her house, the land and neighborhood. Thad listened intently. They barely noticed how much time had passed. The club filled to capacity. The just kept chatting. Thad was mesmerized be her wit and intelligence. Kayla was in heaven because he was actually listening to her. In the middle of a discussion about family, they heard it. The unmistakable sounds of a woman moaning.

Thad and Kayla looked at each other and grinned. They slowly lifted themselves from the chairs and went to exit the VIP room, not sure where the moans where coming from. They got onto the balcony, giggling slightly, when Makayla heard the sound of her broken heart.

"Oh Jeff..eat me baby come on" They glanced through the open door of the room they were passing where the moan came from. Makayla was determined just to walk by, but it got the better of her. She peered in and saw a 5'11'' blonde spread out on the sofa, her legs splayed wide. Kayla looked down and saw a man's head between the blonde's legs, eating her pussy for all he was worth. He was moaning and licking and fingering her. Kayla was about to turn away, when the man raised his head from her pussy. Jeff's face was covered with the blonde's juices as he licked his lips and stood up, his cock raging hard he crawled on top her and was proceeding to fuck her, when Kayla dropped her glass. Jeff looked to his right and saw her. His mouth dropped and he jumped off the blonde gathering his clothes.

Kayla flew down the stairs, leaving Thad to run smack into Jeff, who was chasing after her. Thad ran after Makayla, dashing past Jeff. He reached the outside where he saw her trembling, trying to hail a cab. He put his hand on her arm, She whirled around instinctively, thinking it was Jeff. When she was it was Thad, her face crumbled and fresh tears washed down her face. He gently guided her around the corner and into his car. He didn't start the ignition right away. He handed her a handkerchief and waited the agonizing moments until her tears subsided.

"I am sorry Kayla, actually I am not. Jeff has gotten away with treating you like this, and I am glad he was finally caught so you can see what an asshole he is" Thad wrapped his hands around the steering wheel. imagining it was Jeff's neck. He could kill him for making this beautiful woman cry,

" I should have known.." Makayla said quietly. "I saw the pictures of his exes, I am not anything compared to them" She silently folded her hands in her lap.

Thad saw red. He was so mad. He leaned over and grasped her chin in his hand. He moved even closer to look in her eyes. The honey brown color was spellbinding, now shiny with unshed tears.

"You are the most beautiful, smart, witty woman I have ever known. Jeff Merritt is the stupidest bastard I have ever met. I would move heaven and earth to make sure you stayed by my side, in my life, and most of all in my bed." Thad leaned over and gently brushed his lips over hers. The light contact sent a sizzle down his spine, and blood pumped into his cock, which pressed painfully against its constraints.

Makayla couldn't believe what Thad was saying, and now he was kissing her!! She molded her lips to his. Timidly she licked at his lip with he tip of her tongue and a guttural sound came from Thad's chest. He backed away from her mouth and started the engine. He cut smoothly into traffic. Makayla noticed they were headed to her place.

Thad pulled into the drive and walked around to help Kayla out of the passengers side. With an arm around her waist he walked her to her door. Planting a wet, hot kiss on her lips he turned and strolled back to the car. He waited until she had let herself in and closed the door. He drove off, leaving Kayla both upset and just as equally turned on.

She awoke the next morning to several messages from Jeff. As she listened she wandered into the bathroom, and started the tub. As she sunk in, Thad's voice spoke to her from across the room.

"Makayla, this is Thad. I am sorry about last night, but I went to bed with your taste on my lips, and I have never slept so well."

Makayla's body reacted instantly to his voice, and the sweet sexiness of his words. She slid a hand down her soapy belly and over her pussy lips. She slid two fingers deep into herself, massaging her clit and finger fucking herself with the thought of Thad's kiss fresh on her mind. She brought herself to a crashing climax and got out of the tub. Dressing in her shabbiest pair of jeans and sweatshirt and throwing her curls in a ponytail, she put on a ball cap and headed for the aquarium. Elbows deep in fish for the marine life's afternoon feeding, the last person who wanted to catch her dressed as she was, leaned against the door.

"There is just something so sexy about a woman hands deep in fish..." Thad gave her a once over.

Blushing profusely, Kayla leaned over to wash her hands. Wiping them on her jeans she walked over to him.

" Hey now...it pays the mortgage. What are you doing here?" She fiddled with her ballcap.

‘ I wanted to see of you were free for lunch.." Thad was dressed in a casual pair of khakis and a sweater.

" I would love to, but I am not dressed for it.." Kayla looked down at her plain outfit.

" I don't care how you are dressed..let's go." Thad nodded for him to follow her. She did and they had the best picnic ever. She invited him over for dinner, so she could cook for him. Thad readily accepted.

Kayla drove home and rushed into the house. She put together the lasagna in record time, setting it aside to be baked. She ran up and took a long hot shower. Since she was cooking, she wanted to be comfortable. She threw on a red tee shirt and a pair of black leggings. Just as she was finished, the doorbell rang. Throwing the lasagna in, she went to go answer it. It was Thad.

"Sorry I am early just couldn't wait.." He grinned at her and handed her a bouquet of flowers. He followed her tightly clad ass into the kitchen. She checked the lasagna and then offered him a tour of the house. She led and he followed. The house was small, but lovely. Two bedrooms and a bathroom, a gourmet kitchen and a cozy living room. She pointed out some art and few collectibles. He could tell she was very proud of making it on her own. He watched her move efficiently about the house, watching her ass wiggle under the tight material of her pants, until his control broke. Her ass, the rich smell of her perfume and the easy way she moved pushed his control beyond it's limits. As they moved into the kitchen, Thad came up behind Kayla and grabbed her, tossing her onto the counter. He pressed his lips firmly to hers, and moaned when she opened her mouth. They continued to kiss on the kitchen counter, he leaned over to turn off the oven, then he lifted her to lay her on the table. Pulling off her tights, he came face to face with what had been on his mind since that night. Her pussy was completely shaved, clad only in a red thong. He ripped it off and dove between her legs. He licked and sucked her clit, sliding two fingers deep while he ate her pussy. He licked her clit, enjoying the moans and whimpers coming from her. Kayla writhed beneath him. He continued to eat to her, nibbling and sucking until she came, dripping down his chin.

Thad licked his lips savoring the taste. He lifted her upper body removing her shirt. He pressed his head to her breast, listening to the rapid beat of her heart. He stayed that way for awhile.

Kayla was confused..what was he doing? His mouth slid up to fasten onto her full lips while he picked her up gently. Searching for her bedroom, he deposited her on the bed. Now completely naked, Kayla felt vulnerable and moved to cover up.

"Please don't. You are making me lightheaded with how gorgeous you are. I have wanted this the minute you sat down at the bar. I am not doing this to make you feel better about being cheated on, I am doing this because I want you to look at me as the better man for you, the one who is falling in love with you.." Thad stood up and removed the rest of his clothes. He sat on the side of the bed and reached for Kayla's soft breast. He molded it with his hands.

"You are so tiny..so perfect. I just want to protect you..keep you by side always." He bent and fastened his mouth around her nipple, sucking gently as he pinched the other lightly. She moaned and ran her fingers through his hair. His cock had become painfully hard. He raised his head until it hovered above hers. He looked into her eyes and asked the silent question. She answered him my bringing his head down to hers and kissing him with a liquid heat that took his breath away.

Thad positioned himself over her. He slid into her pussy, which tightened around him like a silken fist. He moaned when he felt her muscles flex around him. He thrust his hips and out, increasing speed. He was driven by the little sounds coming from her throat. He continued pumping into her, deep into her hot, wet confines until she moaned his name. That drove him to the edge. He moved into her one last time and exploded in her, as they came in unison, moaning each others name in time and hips grinding together to savor the moment.

Satisfied and oh so content, he pulled her to lay next to him, spooning his body around her curvaceous one. Placing a hand on her hip they drifted off to sleep.

Thad awoke before Kayla, propping his head on his elbow to stare at her. She looked so fragile, yet tough. Young, yet sinfully beautiful. He removed himself from her sleeping form and went to shower.

Kayla awoke to an empty bed, panicking at first, until she heard the spray of the shower. She wrapped herself in her robe and went out to the kitchen. She froze in horror.

Jeff was at her kitchen table. The meanest grin she had ever seen on his face.

"So you slut, didn't take long to replace me hmm?" He pointed to Thad's coat hanging over the chair.

"Yeah well at least I waited until the relationship was over to sleep with someone else." She reached to flip on the coffee maker. " You can leave, and leave my key" She reached for the handle to the fridge.

"Nah I don't think so..." Jeff reached for her but was stopped by arm across the chest, which sent him spiraling to the floor. He looked up to see his partner Thad, kiss Kayla on the cheek. He sat down at the table and gathered her into his lap and nuzzled her neck.

"You fucking bastard..how could you do this to me..she is nothing but a" Jeff was silenced by the look on Thad's face.

" I would think again before you talk about her like that, especially in front of me and in her home. Now I suggest you do what she says and leave." Thad picked Kayla up and set her feet on the floor. With a gentle pat on the ass he directed her to wait for him in the bedroom.

Kayla followed his direction..in awe at what he had said. She sat and waited on the bed for him to come in. A few moments later he returned and handed her the spare key. He sat on the bed next to her and wrapped his arms around her. Tears started to flow.

" Now baby, no need for that. I am positive he will bother you no more..no woman of mine is going to be afraid of anyone around me." Thad leaned and gently kissed her tears away.

"Do you mean that..you want me?" Kayla looked into his dark brown eyes.

" Baby more than you will ever know.." He kissed her lips fully, licking and nibbling at them, until he felt something being pressed into his hand. Looking down, in his hand was the greatest gift imaginable from the woman he loved.

It was the spare key. The one she had just taken from Jeff.

"I know it doesn't seem like much, but my house is my sanctuary and my favorite place I have worked so hard and sacrificed so much for it. I was single forever until I met Jeff because it was all work and nothing else just to achieve my goal. I love it here, but I think I will love it much more to see you walk through the door everyday. So the key to my house is literally the key to my heart. And I want you to have it...and me.

Thad took the key and laid it on the bedside table. He gathered Kayla in his arms and they lay down on the bed. He bent to whisper in her ear.

" I have a lot of possesions, but nothing will ever mean more to me than that key." He kissed her gently and they held each other, neither wanting to move. Kayla slowly realizing that everything she had sacrificed was worth it in the end, now that she had Thad. And Thad realizing he would sacrifice everything to have Kayla. And to find each other at a bar...a true enigma.
