working on the keys

When a girl sticks her hand down a guys pants and starts to give him a hand job as they sit side by side with her dominant hand. May look like she's shuffling around in his pocket for keys but requires hand on penis contact. Usually, the guy is not expecting it. May be done at dinner table, meetings and other events where people are present.

If she can finish before the meeting, dinner or program she is considered a Key Master.

Guy 1: Sitting at the meeting, she started working on the keys with everyone right there!
Guy 2: What did you do?
Guy 1: I fucking let her finish- that's what I did.
