"Good night, everyone! See you tomorrow!" Robert yelled as he locked the doors to the store. He breathed a sigh of relief. This evening was the soft launch of his second hardware store across town to get out his staff's pre-opening jitters. Family and friends were invited to store and the Chamber of Commerce graciously hosted a ribbon cutting. Top Chamber representatives and their members were on hand for the event, and they even sponsored a large dessert buffet from the new catering firm that opened last week, called "Desserts On Us."

"Well, that went well! Congratulations, Robert!" offered Jessica. "Thanks again for all you did to promote our opening and for putting all this together," said Robert, as he gestured to the decorations and buffet. "And again, we're happy to do it!" she replied. "This is a big moment for you and your business and we want to help you celebrate it!"

"I want that too," Robert added and smiled. They made eye contact and she smiled too, holding his gaze for a moment. Jessica then quickly moved to start cleaning tables, "But I suppose we need to finish cleaning up before your opening in the morning! I'm sorry I got a little overzealous on the dessert order. I thought people would do more snacking and I wanted to support our other new business of the month."

Robert wanted to keep watching Jessica, but after a pause he started cleaning up too. She moved so gracefully in those black heels after a long day on her feet. Jessica was a local realtor who volunteered with the Chamber of Commerce as the Captain of the "Chamber Cheerleaders". A fashionable young professional in her early 30s, she wore the ceremonial dark green Chamber blazer well. Under the blazer was a crisp white button-up blouse, untucked over a shapely black pencil skirt. Her blonde hair still held some large curls from her morning styling, but it was mostly long waves and worn from a busy day. Her hair sat over her shoulders and framed her face, drawing attention to her green eyes and big white smile. Robert enjoyed seeing her on real estate signs in the area.

"That's okay, I appreciate the lengths you went through to make this special. And it's okay to support such a delicious small business!" Robert said. Jessica paused to look at him. She couldn't believe Robert was still single, although it makes sense given how much he's put into his store. He had a kind face and was also fiercely supportive of the town's businesses. They hadn't really gotten to know each other yet, but Jessica was excited to. He was a little taller than she is, with thick dark hair and a well-groomed beard. To fit the hardware store image, he was sporting his red buffalo check flannel shirt tucked into work jeans, over steel-toe boots. She liked the manly look.

"So what do we do with the food?" Jessica asked.
"Let's take it to the break room and see what can fit in the fridge for tomorrow's team." Said Robert. "I hope they like pie!"

The buffet table sat near the entrance, largely untouched from the evening's event. It was holding upwards of 20 varieties of fancy cream pies. Jessica started, "Or more than the people who came today! I don't know what the problem was. I'm so tired of the typical brownie and cookie buffet, and Christie just opened her catering business last week, that I thought people would be all over these!"

"If they weren't all over these pies, it's a good thing these pies weren't all over them!" Robert offered with some humor. "Twice the clean-up! Jessica laughed playfully and pretended to look surprised at fake pie on her blouse. Robert laughed back at her.

He liked how fun she is. And she appreciated how much she could be her silly self around him.

"Let's go." Said Robert as he picked up two pies. Jessica picked up two pies too and they made their way to the break room. Jessica led, which gave Robert a nice view of her curves as she sauntered back with a pie in each hand. They got to the break room in the back and put the pies on the long table against the far wall.

Robert checks the fridge, "what?! It's warm! Oh man, I never plugged it in..." he trailed.
"Oh no!" Jessica added. "Ugh, that sucks. How long will it take to cool down?"
"I think like 24 hours damn...," said Robert. "Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Let's at least get the front of the store cleaned up and then we can figure out what to do with all this," he said gesturing to the table of pies. "Okay!" she said. "Bummer!"

They spent the next few minutes bringing the rest of the pies back to the break room and putting them on the far wall table. Jessica always led and she couldn't help but feel like Robert was watching her with more than friendly gaze. Holding those pies, she felt sexy and empowered herself. They continued chatting about the evening as they picked up, and Jessica continued her playful streak.

In one instance, she pretended to trip in her heels and dump the pies she was holding on Robert's shirt. They had a good laugh over it and he pantomimed a reaction back.

Once the pies were brought to the back, they continued to pack the Chamber's decorations and Robert swept the floor. He watched her take off her green blazer and pack it away with the ribbon cutting swag. He couldn't help but notice how confident she looked, and her fitted button-up was short, ending at the top of the curve of her skirt.

As they continued to clean, Robert stole glances over to Jessica, but always seemed to catch her bending over. Was her butt waving at him, he wondered? One time Robert got lost in thought and ran right into one of the plumbing displays, causing it to crash. Jessica jumped at the sound and looked up at Robert. She had an idea of what happened.

"You alright there buddy?" Jessica teased.
Robert blushed and stammered, "Uh s-sorry."
"That's okay. Need a hand picking up those plungers?" she said with smile.
"No thanks, I got it!" he said quickly. Jessica smiled to herself, pleased with her affect on him.

She watched him too. He was well-built and looked like he'd clean up well. Not that she was complaining about his working-man's style. He moved with strength and seemed to showing off his agility.

They wrapped up cleaning the front area, turned off the lights, and headed to the back. As Robert sat for minute, Jessica held up two single serve bottles of wine. "You wanna drink? These are left over Chamber's contribution for today. Can't let them go to waste!" Robert answered, "I never turn down a drink with a beautiful woman, and then again, I don't get asked very often." She smiled and sat next to him. "What a crime," she said. He opened their bottles.

They continued to chat and get to know each other. They had gone to the rival local high schools and they each tried to one-up the other. It was good-natured and they really enjoyed the other's company. Mostly they talked about their life stories; how he got into the hardware store business, which was inspired from helping his grandfather in his barn shed. She loved home construction, which brought her into real estate. Her grandmother was the first female superintendent of the area schools. Seeing her work gave Jessica a great community ethic and drive to serve her community too. He couldn't help but stare at her sparkling green eyes as she talked. She loved his soft yet strong voice, as she watched his broad shoulders and his red lips in his beard move while he talked.

After a while, and a second bottle each, Robert stood up to survey what was left to do. "So what do we do with all this? It's going to go bad by tomorrow."

Jessica stood up and followed him to the table. She got used to his musk and liked to stand by him. Standing to his right, they looked at the table of pies. She crossed her arms. "I don't know" she replied and bit her lip, thinking.

They both were thinking that it was getting late, but they didn't want the night to end.

"Should we try to take them back to Christie?" Robert asked.
"What's she gonna do, resell them? They've been sitting out for 4 hours!" Jessica kidded.
"Yeah but I'm not that hungry." Robert teased.
"Donate them to a food pantry?" Jessica asked next.
"My truck can't hold all these, and it's a little late." Robert replied.

After a quick moment, Jessica smiled playfully with an idea. "Well, it's opening day tomorrow. You could have a pie throwing booth to show off your cleaning supplies!"
Robert smiled back and rolled his eyes. "Ha, first 20 customers get a pie to throw?!"
"Yeah! Pie the CEO!" she yelled. Pretending to rile up a crowd.
"Oh yeah, that's just what I need tomorrow. I bet you'd love that! Me getting pied all morning." Robert countered. "Too bad we didn't promo that."
"In today's social media I bet we could get a crowd here by your 10am opening!' Jessica answered excitedly. "Besides, it would really just be me being the first customer to buy something 20 times!" she teased and pretended to pie him in the face.
"Ooooh, great!!" Robert laughed sarcastically as he fought the butterflies in his stomach. He watched her brush the hair out of her face. He could tell she had an adventurous streak, maybe unappreciated by past partners in this town.
"Okay okay, hang on. Let's think about this. We just spent the last month setting up our shelves and arranging our inventory. I have nowhere to do this! Sorry, Jess. I just don't think you're gonna get to pie me tomorrow." Robert concluded.
"Too bad" Jessica responded, exaggerating her disappointment.

Jessica then picked up a pie. "Maybe not tomorrow" she said menacingly with a grin. Robert turned to look at her. He was struck by how attracted he was to her. Seeing her hold that pie continued his butterflies. Her smile excited him and he wanted to kiss her badly. He took a step back. "Wait a second," he said nervously.
"But like I said about the wine, we can't let these pies go to waste."

At that moment Jessica smashed the pie in his face. Robert froze, not for the effect, but out of shock. Jessica squealed with delight as she twisted the pie tin and let it fall to the ground. The cool whip-style cream formed a big circle over his face. The splatter got inside his collared shirt and a big drip went down his front. Robert opened his mouth to breathe and brought his hands up to clear his eyes. He saw Jessica laughing at him and clapping her hands, happy with herself and the mess she made of him.

Robert scoffed in mock indignation. "You pied me! I can't believe you pied me!" He realized how much he loved her laugh too. He watched this beautiful blonde in professional wear and tall heels laugh at his misfortune at her hands. He didn't want to mess this up, but Jessica didn't give him a chance too.

"Well, 1 down, 19 to go!" Jessica announced. She picked up another pie. This one, chocolate.
"Wait a seco-" Robert started. But before he could finish, she pied him again. This one she rubbed around his face before letting the tin fall to the floor. She laughed again and sounded proud of her control of the situation. Robert more quickly cleaned his eyes this time. But Jessica was quicker. This time she had two pies in her hands.

"Are you hungry?" Jessica asked.
"Uhh," Robert started. But before he could finish, Jessica jumped in with "how about a sandwich!" And at that point she sandwiched his face with those two pies. This time Jessica took her time to rub them around Robert's head for maximum coverage. He was getting covered with so much whipped cream it was falling over the inside and outside of his shirt.

Jessica was close to him and he could still smell her perfume. Mixed with the chocolate and banana cream, he started to get aroused. And he couldn't be mad. She was so sexy and he didn't really want this attention to stop.

"Oh, you're bad," he said. "It feels like you've done this before!"
"Let's just say my past boyfriends didn't take it as well as you are," she said. "I must say, you're a really good pie target and a great sport for letting me do this." Jessica picked up another pie.

Robert looked her with cream all over his head and smiled. He put his arm around her to bring her nearer. She looked at the pie and up at him in anticipation. "You're welc-" he started. And at that moment, Robert grabbed the back of her head with his right hand and pushed the heaping pie up into Jessica's face with his left.

She couldn't believe it. They held the pie in her face for a few seconds before letting it fall. The cream lined the hair around her face and around the white collars on her shirt. Her mouth was open with surprise, her red lips uncovered.

Robert couldn't resist and he brought her in close. He leaned in and kissed her hard, their pie-covered faces rubbing together. After the initial moment, she kissed back and their tongues passionately found the taste of each other, mixed with banana and chocolate cream. She put her arms around his neck and he held her waist. They shared an intimate kiss for a few moments before coming back to reality in the pie-filled breakroom.

"Wow, that was" Jessica started. "Better than those past boyfriends?" Robert asked with a smile. "Hot." Jessica finished. "And way better than any other kiss I've had." "Me too," he said. The locked eyes for a second and kissed again. Then they relaxed and looked around.

Robert picked up another pie and let it sit in his right hand. "By the way, you're right. We can't let this go to waste," he said to Jessica. She put her hands on her hips and looked him expectantly, if playfully unamused. Robert then thrust the pie in Jessica's face, giving it the same little twist she gave him. She laughed, "You're not so bad at this yourself." "I have a good teacher," he responded as she blushed.

Jessica cleared more pie off her face and looked at the two of them and the table of pies. At that point, they both knew they wouldn't be getting out of there without throwing all the rest of the pies.

Robert picked up another heaping cream pie. He stuck his finger in and tasted it. "You know, my compliments to Christie. She really does know how to make a good pie."
"Totally agree!" said Jessica.
"Yeah, this coconut cream is delicious. Try it!" roared Robert as he thrust the pie in Jessica's face. As she took it, she couldn't believe he was so into this madness. As much as she was into him.

Her face was getting more and more full of cream, as was her whole outfit. But she was having the time of her life. Robert was fun and handsome, and seemed to be really into her.

"You know, you're right!" Jessica exclaimed. "That was delicious. Try this one!" she said as she smashed the next pie in his face. "Mmmhmm, lemon," he tried to say while she still held the pie tin in his face.

They laughed at the gimmick. "I've seen a little too much slapstick, like the Three Stooges," Robert said. Jessica answered, "Yeah, and I loved all those sitcoms where they had a made-up pie fight!"

"But it always looked like fun," she continued. "And I'm glad you agree." With that she bent over to pick up a pie across the table. Robert saw his opportunity as her curved ass was staring him in the face. He grabbed a close pie and smashed it on her skirt's backside.

"OOH!" she yelled, pantomiming shock as he straightened up. In pretend outrage, Jessica quickly pied Robert in the face again. They embraced again for a deep kiss. Robert's hands found the spot he just pied, cupping, squeezing, and massaging. She ran her hands through the cream in his beard and up through his heard. She could feel him press into her and his hardness beginning. They kissed longer and deeper. Jessica could feel herself getting wet. The cream on the faces made their bodies slippery, heightening the sensation of them starting to rub together. She wanted that all over her.

Jessica continued to rub her hands over Robert's beard and head, moving down his front. She stopped on his pecs and could feel his toned chest. Out of control, she ripped open his flannel shirt to reveal his white tank undershirt, still tucked into his jeans. She grabbed another pie, opened his undershirt, and pied his chest while dumping its contents down his shirt. She rubbed it around as they kissed as her hands made her way cross his chest and over his biceps.

Robert brought his hands up and started to rub his hands over the front of her blouse. Feeling like there wasn't enough cream there, he picked up another pie and smashed it in her face, letting a lot of it fall over her chest. The cream piled up on her shelf as she held out her breasts for him to pay attention to. He continued to rub the cream all over and it soaked through her shirt and bra. With the focus on her front now, she felt her nipples start to harden. She wanted to kiss him more.

She unbuttoned her shirt halfway, seductively looking up at Robert. She rubbed her hands over her own breasts, and one hand snuck down her front, showing him how turned on she was.
Robert picked up 2 more pies and looked longingly at the breasts staring him in the face.

Jessica looked at this sexy man covered in cream with the ravenous look in his eyes. She sauntered close to him and brought her face up to his. She gently kissed his lips, and slowly opened his belt and unzipped his jeans. They locked eyes as she pressed her hand over his briefs, and felt his throbbing cock aching for her. She slowly peeled his underwear down, and with a jerk let his pants and briefs fall to the ground.

Robert flushed as Jessica grabbed his dick and stroked it with care to start, before pulling and pushing more forcefully as his erection hardened. She paused for a moment to take one of the pies out of his hands. The each held a pie in their right hands, and with her left she took his penis back and pulled him closer. They kissed while she stroked him. They stopped and she stepped back, never loosening her grip. The locked eyes as she held him and pied him in the face again. She kept her grip and felt him throbbing for her. After he cleared his eyes, she opened her mouth and licked her lips. In that moment he pied her in the face and let out a low moan at the sight. This gorgeous blonde professional, who he connected with so well that night, stood in front of him with his dick in her hand, and covered with all kinds of cream and pie filling. It was a night of new love and lust.

Jessica and Robert passionately embraced again. As they kissed he hiked up her once black skirt and carried her over to the table. He ripped off her black lace underwear and set her down on a pie as they continued to kiss. The cream squirted out between her legs and around him too. She wrapped her legs around his torso and he entered her. She was so warm around him compared to the cold cream, and she felt his warmth inside her too. Not forgetting about her breasts and feeling them against his chest, he grabbed the nearest pie and smashed it over her chest. She brought his head down to her chest and the mess, as he licked and kissed all over her ladies.

The feeling of his creamy beard over her nipples was invigorating. He ravaged her and thrust hard into her. His big member filling her up and she wanted him to keep driving it in her. As they kissed, they pulsed together until she came in a warm flow of her own cream all over him. He slowed his thrusts as she came down from her ecstasy.

"Fuck" Jessica said breathlessly. They continued to breath heavily, holding their heads together. Covered in cream and yet so warm. "I love the way you feel around me," he said softly back to her.

She popped down off the table and looked at his unfinished erect penis, begging for attention. Jessica selected 2 of the remaining 4 pies and gave Robert a look like he was going to get it. She slammed the first pie on his crotch and ground it around. They held a long gaze as she pushed the creamy pie around. Then in a split second she slammed the other pie in his face as if to say, 'don't mess with me.'

Jessica crouched down in front of Robert and sized up his giant cock. She grabbed hold of it with one hand and wrapped her mouth around as much as she could. She could taste herself mixed with all kinds of pie. She got into a groove, looking up at Robert as much she could. Everyone so often she'd lay his dick on her tongue, suck in her cheeks, and look up at him. He grabbed the hair on the back of her head as she continued to suck the cream off his dick. After a couple minutes he held one of the last remaining pies and pied her hard in the face. Without wiping it off, she continued to suck him off.

As he was getting closer, Robert pulled Jessica's head off his crotch and helped her stand up. He knew how they needed finish. But first, he gave her a full-mouthed kiss so they could taste each other and all the cream on their faces. Then without warning he spun her around and bent her over the table. With her skirt pulled up he saw his creamy opening. He took it and shoved his dick in her pussy, and she let out a heavy groan of pleasure. Robert thrusted and Jessica never felt so full and turned on. As he pounded her, he grabbed her hair deep toward her the back of her head. She moaned with the force on her head and in her pussy. He kept thrusting and she held her mouth open begging for more. As he was about to cum, Robert picked up the last pie, reached forward, and slammed it in Jessica's face. They came together in a shared moment of pleasure bursting between them. They collapsed over the table of mess.

Robert stood there leaning over the top of her. He could feel her pulsating around him. He flexed his cock to try to match it as they came down from their high.

After a minute, they separated and stood up. They surveyed the room and the mess they created. They smiled at each other, a little embarrassed at the whole of what transpired. He stepped out of the pants at his feet and embraced her.

"So now what do we do?" she asked.
"I think we should give my safety shower a test!" he replied excitedly. Their eyes got wide and locked. They grinned to each other and started stripping down as fast as they could. Robert pointed to the back room as they started running naked to the warehouse, leaving a trail of cream behind them.
