As he drove to Saundra's apartment complex Donald Parsons wondered what in the hell had gotten into him. This gal had just breezed into his life and all of a sudden she was all he could think about. He chided himself in that he knew nothing about her personal life. Although he did know she practiced good dental hygiene after hearing about her going to an appointment that morning! He chuckled to himself, yeah, that was a lot to go on, she had nice teeth. He pictured her in his mind, standing across from him on the other side of his desk as she used to do the first couple of days in his employ.
He had liked that, her standing at attention, hands respectfully clasped in front of her, resting against her body, just above the split of her legs. That led his mind to other things such as, what did she wear underneath her business suits and dresses. What did she draw up those soft, lovely legs...panties, thong, or nothing at all? He wondered what her bras looked like; they couldn't be too dainty, as they had to be able to support her big, luscious tits. He tried to picture her naked, her breasts heavy but nicely shaped, probably adorned with sizable areolas, light pink judging by her natural lip color. And her nipples, he thought they must be like sweet, ripe berries, dark pink when they were engorged with blood.
His mind's eye traveled down her body, twirling her around to view how her dress graceful flowed over her curvaceous hips and ass. She was no skinny runway model, but that padding made her soft and cushy, giving a lover some meat to hang onto if he were to take her from behind. The very image made his cock twinge and begin to harden. He continued to scan down her body thinking of the little glimpses he was treated to when her skirt rode up her leg as she sat at her desk. He desired to taste the fine, pale skin between her inner thighs, licking his way up toward the steamy point of no return. But first he wanted more of her legs. To caress her, behind her knees with his fingertips, to run his tongue over the contour of her calves. He imagined kissing the insides of her ankles and flicking her arches with the tip of his tongue, to end up sucking on each pretty, pink toe. His dick was straining in his pants now and he had to pull over in a store parking lot to walk off his erection. He could picture the scene now; she answers the door and glances down at the giant bulge in his pants, him trying to remain nonchalant. Oh, what, doesn't every man pick up his date sporting a glorious hard-on?
The cool air helped to calm him and he resumed his drive to whatever awaited him. He parked in front of her apartment complex and breathed slowly and deeply, making himself relax. Picking up the lavender roses from the passenger seat he thought of her sitting next to him, her soft round ass soon to be gracing the leather of that seat, smelling her delicate fragrance. He had to time his steps going up the stairs to her apartment, trying to suppress the eagerness he felt. He rang her doorbell, trying to compose himself to be the cool, controlled man he thought himself to be. When she opened the door he held out the bouquet and grinned, feeling like a foolish high school suitor. Her eyes lit up and she smiled at him stepping back for him to enter her home.
Her apartment was sparsely furnished but very tasteful. He was impressed. He followed her to the kitchen and watched her as she arranged the bouquet in a crystal vase. He liked her dress, a short sleeved black affair, showing off her curves but tastefully leaving just enough to the imagination. There was the slight hint of the creamy white fullness of breasts, and the roundness of her ass, all very sensuous.
"Thank you for the flowers, Mr. Parsons. They're beautiful." She smiled as she whisked them to the living room and placed them on the coffee table. "Lavender...means enchantment. How sweet! Were you aware that the colors of roses have different meanings?"
"Well, I guess I hadn't really paid attention to the meanings of colors. I just thought the lavender ones where unique." He smiled innocently as she turned to face him. He had been admiring the view of her behind, wondering what was underneath the silky material of her dress.
"I'm ready," she whispered.
"What?" he asked, a little too loudly.
"To go, I'm ready to go to dinner." She giggled as she picked up her purse and opened the door.
"Yes, of course," he said as he held the door open for her. Reaching between him and the door she engaged the lock on the doorknob and he could smell her soft, feminine scent. He pulled the door closed behind him and proceeded down the stairs behind her. As he helped her into the car he glanced at her sexy legs all the way down to her precious feet.
During dinner Saundra asked him leading questions, and he was happy to oblige her with details about his college days, his climb up the business ladder, and his goals for the future. He was flattered by her rapt attention. Yet, something nagged in the back of his mind; he was doing all the talking and not learning anything about her. While it seemed he controlled the conversation, he was usually the one to get others to open up and reveal things about themselves which he would later use to his advantage.
"I want you to know that I'm very impressed with how smoothly you've taken over for Karen. It's as if there was no transition at all, you could almost be one and the same as her. Has she had her baby yet? I should send her some flowers or something." He was distracted by the waitress serving their dessert and pouring coffee.
"Yes, she worked up to her due date. She had a girl, a few days ago. You sent her a dozen pink roses and a few other nice items that I'm sure she greatly appreciated." Saundra smiled thinking about the fun she had shopping for the baby gifts she'd had delivered to Karen, in Mr. Parsons' name.
"Oh? What things did I send her?"
"Well, a car seat, baby clothes, bathing necessities and such. She sent you a lovely thank you note. I guess you haven't had time to go through your mail. She called me, by the way. She's excited about staying home with the baby, not coming back to work when her maternity leave is up."
"I didn't know she was so close to her due date when she left. Well, good, then. Thank you for taking care of things."
"I enjoyed shopping for Karen's baby. I have a few nieces and nephews. I'm well acquainted with what new mothers need for babies." Saundra smiled softly as she took a sip of her water and looked up at him.
"Why aren't you married and taking care of a family? As efficient as you are it seems you'd make a good mother."
"Surely it takes more than just being 'efficient' to be a good mother. It takes a lot of love, dedication, and sacrifice to raise a child. I want children one day. I'm just not ready, yet." She laughed. "I'm only 30, I have a few years before my biological clock is all ticked out." She watched as he ate his dessert, nodding his head as if he understood. "Why didn't you and your ex have children?" she boldly asked.
"Fertility problems," he answered tersely, then noticing her look of concern he continued, "She had two miscarriages and the doctors determined she would never be able to carry a pregnancy to term. She grew bitter after that prognosis and we drifted apart. Shame, she was a lovely, warm woman. But she couldn't get past it. I tried to be supportive, but she pushed me away, physically as well as emotionally. I suggested that we adopt but she was obsessed with having a biological child. However, that is all in the distant past, almost 10 years ago. One has to move on and live one's life, no matter what happens, can't dwell on what's not meant to be."
"That's a brave thing to do, though, to overcome such disappointment and heartache. How hard it must have been for her to go through that, and for you, as well." Saundra gently rested her hand on his, comforting him. "I'm sure you hurt just as much as she did, it must have been difficult."
