"You got that look on your puss." Steven cut into my thoughts and rolled his eyes, "Now what?"

"I'm tired and I'm stressed." I said softly, "You and Melissa are going to have a good time."

"You can too."

"Mandy has a fiancé and Allison has a girlfriend."

"Yeah she does and she is hot! You see her picture?"

"I did and she is." I agreed, "But that means we're just kind of.

"There will be a club full of people and you're single!" he pointed out.

"You'll find someone to dance with and have a couple of drinks."

He winked, "I'm sure Chicago has redheads."

"Whatever, I might just hang back and rest."

"Twenty two, out of town with a chance to have some real fun and you're going to rest?" he frowned, "Man, even my mom says work hard play hard."

I avoided thinking about what Steven's mother did when she played hard, that is if she did. Steven had told me he had gotten to the point he was trying to get her to get out and meet someone and have some fun.

“I do need to ask the interns to stay here with me for a few minutes."

I sat back in the chair and looking around the table saw the three girls sitting there looking as nervous as I felt. Mrs. Sanders wouldn't be making her choice now would she?"

When everyone had left she let out a loud sigh and removing her blazer sighed, “My God is it hot in this damn room!"

I tried not to stare when it came off to expose a very tight black tank top that caused her breasts to look as if they were ready to pop out of the top of it. I glanced around the table and noticed Allison checking her out also.

That would have conjured up an entirely different series of nasty images and I quickly glanced back to my favorite redhead of all time.

Mrs. Sanders had turned her around and was draping the blazer over her chair.

The top was more revealing in the back, plunging well down between her shoulders it left a lot of her smooth white back exposed. Her red hair against that skin looked damn sexy and as I eyed her skin.

I envisioned kissing her entire back, working my way slowly down to her ass where I would unzip her skirt and...
