It had been three days since Lou and Debbie were "together". Their stolen moments  were filled with passion and longing, but they both knew they had to be discreet in the office. 
Lou had never been involved in such a forbidden and thrilling romance, and it both excited and terrified her.
One sunny morning, as Lou was in her office reviewing a manuscript, her phone buzzed with a message from Debbie.
Debbie: Meet me  in the conference room in 5 minutes. 
Lou: I'll be there.
Lou closed the manuscript and hurried to the conference room. As she entered, she found the room empty, but the door clicked shut behind her, and she turned to see Debbie standing there, her eyes dark with desire.
"No, you didn't !"
"What ?"
"Tell me this isn't what I think."
"Tell me what do you think it is ?"
"Deb ! We can't do that in here."
"Why not ?"
"Because it's a damn conference room."
"Oh my god, you're no fun."
Debbie couldn't help but chuckle at Lou's exasperation. She took a step closer, her voice a sultry whisper: "Come on, Lou, where's your sense of adventure?"
Lou's cheeks flushed, and she glanced nervously at the closed door. "My sense of adventure doesn't include getting caught at work."
Debbie's fingers gently trailed down Lou's arm, sending shivers down her spine. "Don't worry, sweetheart; I've checked the schedule. No one's using this room for the next hour."
Lou's resolve wavered as desire surged within her, but she still tried to protest. "We can't just—"
Debbie leaned in and silenced her with  kiss, her lips soft and demanding against Lou's.
"I want you. Is it a crime ?"
"Yes, it is. Do I have to make a list of all the things we're risking?"
"Come on sweetie..."
Debbie's words and seductive tone were like a siren's call, almost impossible for Lou to resist.... The brunette continued to trace her fingers along her arm, her eyes locked onto Lou's with an intensity that was hard to ignore. Lou's breaths came in shallow gasps as she teetered on the edge of giving in to her desires.
Debbie's lips brushed against Lou's ear, her voice a husky whisper. "You can't deny that you want this, Lou."
"I'm not denying it, I'm just saying it's to risky."
Debbie's lips curled into a seductive smile as she continued to caress Lou's arm, her touch electrifying. She leaned in closer, her breath hot against Lou's ear. "Risk is thrilling."
Lou's voice was laced with defiance as she asked, "Okay, then what do you want right now?" 
Debbie's fingers danced along Lou's skin as she replied, her tone dripping with desire. "I want you, right here, right now."
Lou's desire and passion overtook her defiance; she quickly and somewhat forcefully grabbed Debbie and seated her on the table. "You want me, huh?"
Debbie's eyes smoldered with desire as she met Lou's gaze, her voice a sultry whisper. "Yes...sweetie !"

Debbie and Lou sat across from each other in Debbie's cozy apartment, a chessboard placed between them. The soft glow of ambient lighting and the subtle hum of jazz music in the background created a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Each of them held a glass of wine, the deep red liquid swirling within as they contemplated their next moves.
