TW: fingering, handjobs, kissing... frankkkkkkkkkkk

not beta read, english is not my first language, all mistakes are my own

His hands, his fingers, his forearm…you couldn’t look away. Couldn’t stop thinking of what he did to you three days ago…on this same bar when it was closed, and you were supposed to clean the bar. When you look up, his infuriating smug smirk is on his pretty face.

“What’s up?”, he greets you.

What’s up…. what’s up? THAT’S ALL HE HAS TO SAY? You give him a nod and go to the next customer.

And it’s almost and hide and seek all night, he comes near you, you go the other way, avoiding him, hiding behind your colleagues. But you can’t run away all night, so when you take your break, he’s quick to find you in the office, closing the door behind him.

“What’s up?”, this time his question is less friendly. You avoid his gaze. “Really the silent treatment?” You huff and give him a side look.

“Oh, pretty girl, don’t be mad…”.

“Don’t ever, What’s up? Me again, okay? I’m not your friend.” He approaches you and holds you by the waist. “So, what are we, fuck buddies?”, you make a gag sound, he chuckles. “Friends with benefit, or…are you my squirter…”. You take a step away from him. “Ew, don’t say that.”

“But it’s true, no? I’m the only one, who ever made you squirt.”

You groan, annoyed, “Yes, maybe but don’t be too proud of yourself either…” He comes closer, caging you between him and the wall.

“Oh baby, I can’t stop thinking about it.” You say nothing but he can read it on your face. “And I know you do too. You can’t keep your eyes from my hands.” He shows you two fingers, the two fingers that were knuckles deep inside you. You crossed eyes on them and open your mouth, your hands going to his hips.

“I hate how much I love them, Frank.”, you whisper to him.

“Oh baby, I love how you love them, and I love your tight pussy, loved to make you squirt and dream of making you do it again.” You sigh a moan and looks at the clock.

“I finish in two hours.”

He’s quick to push you against his door when you enter his appartement. Even faster to strip you bear and to throw you, surprisingly gently, on his bed. He’s hovering you.

“So, fingers, huh?”. You nod eagerly and he strokes your body, squeezing your breast tenderly, kissing your mouth and neck.

You look at him, then follow his fingers, your leg spreading on their own accord.

“Eager, baby?”, he whispers in your ear.

“Please, I need them.” His answer is to rub them on your folds, your silky wet folds. One finger in, then another and then his palm is against your clit and you’re a moaning mess. He kisses and licks your breasts, mouth, neck, and you hold his arm and the back of his head. “Oh Frank! This feels so good!”

He kisses you hard, thrusting into your hand. He turns his hand, index on your clit, two in your pussy and the little finger close to your backhole. You arch your back, “YESSSSS”

And that’s when you feel it build, like a teapot, getting hotter and hotter until you snap and cum, squirting hard, drenching the sheets and both of you.

Frank doesn’t stop and you cum again squirting more and more. You squeeze your hand around his cock, he’s still thrusting hard into your palm and he cums, but he doesn’t stop either. Still making you squirt and finally, after what feel like hours you feel something wet on your thigh you turn to see him, face contorts in pleasure and well..he’s squirting to, making you cum again and squirts harder. “Fucccckkk” you both scream in pleasure.

Panting, in your own fluids, Frank and you look at each other. “You squirt”, you state. He nods and kisses you.

“See what you do to me..didn’t think I could do that, knew men could squirt…but yeah, well… magic hands”

You laugh and kisses him again. “Magic hands indeed.”
