Without reaching orgasm, Sandra remains elated with her eyes still shut, she holds the man close, moving in unison with him, as they gently merge their pelvises together, with him still inside of her, enjoying the sensation of his resting cock. To which, he then slowly withdraws, leaning himself up as his penis slides out of her wet entrance, drenched both in their sexual juices. Smiling at her as she does at him. In a quiet manner, the man dresses, with Sandra still looking up at him. As they have had sex many times before. Now fully dressed he will use her bathroom and then leave the apartment.
“Have a safe flight back,” she says, sitting up reaching across to her crumpled knickers sitting atop of her side table.
“I will, take care Sandra,” the man replies, as he walks out of her room on his way to the McAllen’s front door.

“I prefer these older buildings, you know, like the old and new…” Aria Diarmid says, as she looks at the slight wear and tear of the ceiling to floor window frame, from the Thirty Fifth floor of the World Trade Center. “...What a day though, clear skies.”
The man beside her nods, as he then looks at his watch.
“Best get back to my desk, a ton of paperwork,” he says, sipping from his latte glass.
Diarmid turns, looking at him briefly. “Don’t work too hard,” she says smiling, as he nods in a hurried manner.
“Gotta pay the bills,” he replies, turning away as he walks towards the foyer area of Tanning, Helas & Lancaster legal firm.
“Yeah, the bills...” she whispers to herself, also sipping from her cup of coffee whilst staring up at the blue sky, as an airship slowly passes by. She looks at her watch and then back up at the sky again. “...There is a storm coming…” She then fixes her gaze on the iconic Chrysler building in the distance, with its crown and spire reflecting the sunlight off its stainless steel cladding. A beacon, illuminating the radiance of its past spectre. “...I love storms,” she says, staring at the building in blank and detached way. Making her way back to her own small office, Diarmid passes by Jacky Kremi, the Human Resource trainee at the time of when she was hired to be the Analytical Field Officer and Researcher or as Diarmid has shorted to an its acronym, to spell AFOR.
