Authors Note: Yes this is still in the romance category. Bear with me, it's still a romance. Also remember... this is taking place in the very early 80's and i can tell you from experience that things were different back then. This is the tail end of the "Sexual revolution" and game playing and multiple partners in the 20-30 year old group was pretty common. I hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 15
The summer was racing by. Chris and Katie had included one other couple, her friend and bridesmaid Angela, and her boyfriend, to the mix. We'd started playing a number of games, including some rather risqué dare games, that almost always ended up with all or most of us naked and having sex with someone other than our own partner. Betsy continued to be extremely accepting of me having sex with the other girls, and on more than one occasion, had joined in. She also, still occasionally, spent the night with my mom, though she ALWAYS made sure I was included.
The summer was racing by at work as well. It was almost halfway through the summer and the staff at the company had grown from just the three of us, Leah, my direct boss, Victoria and me; to now include another programmer and two operators, one for the day shift and one for the evening shift. The day shift operator was a young woman just out of high school whose primary job was to feed the growing rack of nine track magnetic tape machines with the tapes the system seemed to be continually calling for. There just wasn't enough platter memory storage to handle the data that was growing exponentially. They just couldn't get enough hard disk storage purchased and installed to keep up, so more and more was offloaded to mag tape. Gabby was a cute little nineteen year old blonde girl, that was slender in all the right places, and not in the other important places. Not that I could usually see much, with all the heavy clothing we all seemed to wear to ward off the sixty five degree temps in the data center.
The new programmer, a heavy-set young lady just out of Purdue, Angeline, took over most of what I had been working on, freeing me up to work on a special project Victoria and I started. She had given me one of the new IBM PCs to play with. Just a simple two floppy disk machine with a CRT sitting on top of it, but it had the ability to process locally. It took me almost a whole day to realize that we could greatly improve our response time and lower the modem traffic to our customers, if all we had to do was to transfer the data, not the entire formatted print stream. At only three hundred baud on some of the slower lines, it could take several minutes to dump the entire print job to the customer site. If we could do all the formatting at the local site, then all we needed to do was transfer the data. True, it meant the two programs had to each know what the data format was going to be, but coordination of that shouldn't be too hard. Victoria saw the potential, and pulled me off everything else I was doing, to work exclusively on that.
I walked into work on this particular Wednesday and stopped dead in my tracks. "Holy cow! Who left the doors open and let summer sneak in?" I asked as the oppressive heat quickly made me start sweating.
"Yeah, Victoria said one of the A/C units that cools the equipment died and while the processing units are staying cool enough, the heat dump is making it a little uncomfortable in here." Leah said from her swivel desk chair that was near my workstation.
"Little uncomfortable?" I asked as I quickly started peeling one of my two layers of shirts off. "It's like the middle of summer inside. It might even be warmer than outside."
"Only a little." Angeline said as she used the shirt tail to wipe sweat from her face. "It's a pleasant seventy-four inside the processing units, but the heat coming out is almost ninety."
"Ninety-two." Victoria said as she stepped out of her glass enclosed office. "I just got off the phone with the A/C company. They should have someone here tomorrow. Until then, we'll just have to tough it out."
"Melt is more like it!" Gabby said as she walked quickly by my desk, on the way to the tape stacks to get more mag tapes.
"Well, there isn't much we can do." Victoria said. "We'll just have to find a way to cope." She added before returning to her office. The only consolation was that it had to be hotter in her office, without any air flow, than it was for us.
After an hour, my shirt was so soaked with sweat that I just gave up and took it off, sitting at my desk bare chested.
"Guys are lucky, they can get away with that." Angeline said from where she was working only a dozen feet or so away to my left.
"Huh?"
"Shirtless. You can go shirtless. Girls can't do that."
"You can't blame me for stopping you. I don't care if you take your shirt off."
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" She answered.
"You know, my bikini shows more than my bra does. I'm going to." Gabby said, standing up from her desk and pulling the heavy long-sleeved shirt up and off. "And these can go too." She said unsnapping her pants and pushing them down. In only a few moments she was sitting in nothing but her tennis shoes, a small lacy bra and a pair of bikini panties. "Sooooo much better!" She said before her terminal chimed and sent her scurrying for more tapes. I watched her go by, her surprisingly large boobs bouncing and wiggling enticingly in the tiny lace bra. Three times she walked by, the sight of her, maybe C cup boobs, wiggling making my dick grow in my pants.
"Okay. modesty be damned. I can't take this heat." Angeline said. She stood up and pulled off the t-shirt that she had been wearing under her sweater, and then the knee length wool skirt. She had long since ditched the cable tights she had on under the skirt, leaving her in a heavy weight bra, containing boobs that were easily as big as mom's, and a pair of rather unflattering looking high waist panties. She sat down and looked at me. "Well?"
"Well, what?"
"You think I'm gonna sit here in my underwear alone? Come on, lose the pants, unless of course you don't have any underwear on, and then you can take 'em off twice as fast." She said with a giggle.
"No, I have underwear on," I answered.
"Well, let's get 'em off then." Angeline said with crooked grin. "You're not afraid of showing off that bulge, are you?"
"What bulge?"
"The one that you've had since gabby started running around in that little bra and panty."
I rolled my eyes. "I don't have a hardon."
"Yeah, right. Prove it. Take 'em off!"
"Fine, I will!" I stood up and it only took me a minute to take my shoes off and then slip my jeans off. I sat back down in my plain white briefs and put my shoes back on, blushing at the realization of just how hard my dick was and how far out the front of my briefs bulged. Once I was sitting normally again, I slipped a hand into my briefs and straightened my dick out, which was more comfortable, but also let it grow a bit harder, now that it wasn't uncomfortably bent.
"Damn David! Looks good!" She said as she turned in her desk chair to face me, her legs spread slightly, to expose that the crotch of her pale blue panties was dark with dampness. "Your turn Leah!"
"I don't think so," she answered quickly.
"What? Don't want anyone to see your underwear? I mean, come on, it's just us girls, and of course David."
"No, it's not that. I'll be fine."
"Come on Leah, don't be a prude." Gabby chided as she settled back into her desk chair after loading a number of mag tapes.
"It's not that." Leah protested.
"So, what then?"
