This is a story of what was and what could have been.
Suzette worked with my mom at the university where I was a 3
rd
year student.
She was 22, tall (taller than me) and absolutely gorgeous. Big blue eyes, a really wide, generous, slightly crooked smile. Her dress was usually professional and modest, but there was no hiding her pert small breasts, large curvy ass and sleek, long, powerful legs.
She was an interesting mix of shy and yet friendly and engaging. I really enjoyed chatting with her, even though we had little in common -- she of a conservative, church-going Afrikaans background, and me a computer-geek / Wiccan hippie, long hair, barefoot with crystals round my neck!
Her desk was near the main door, so I passed her whenever I came to see mom.
One day, as I was walking out, I turned to see her smiling at me, and realised "God! I want to kiss this woman!" The thought was so shocking that I paused for a moment. She looked at me enquiringly, with a simple "What?" I just shook my head and walked out without saying anything.
This pattern continued numerous times over the following months, me being stopped by her beauty, her enquiring, me walking out. I couldn't tell her because I was shy, unconfident, and felt that we had nothing in common.
Then, late one day I came to see my mom, and found only Suzette in the office. Again I was stopped by her beauty and my desire to kiss her. Again, she asked me "What?"
I hesitated, rather than rushing off, and saw her... still, curious, amused, waiting for a response.
"You know how this has happened often, me stopping at the door, you asking me 'what?', me saying nothing and just walking off?"
"Yes."
"Well, every time I was thinking 'God! I want to kiss this woman!'"
With her grin even wider, she blushed and giggled "Seriously?"
"Yes. And now that I've told you, may I?"
"No. That would be weird. I work with your Mom."
"It doesn't have to be complicated. I could just come round this counter, walk over to your desk, and kiss you."
"Um..."
She got very quiet, and swivelled her chair to face away from me. However, her body language was one of waiting, not rejection. She sat perfectly still, yet fully aware of me.
"I'm going to walk to you now."
I slowly walked around the counter, and crossed the floor to her desk. Her hair was in a high ponytail, showing off the graceful lines of her neck.
"And now I'm going to kiss you..."
I planted a soft, gentle, loving kiss on the base of her neck, followed by 2 more as I moved up towards her jaw line.
She turned her head towards me, offering me her mouth, and we shared a soft, lovely first kiss.
Her beautiful eyes were on mine, full of curiosity and warmth.
Keeping her face close to mine, she gracefully stood up and moved to the empty space next to her desk.
We held each other, continuing to kiss in the same manner, fully open to each other, gentle, generous. I was in awe of the feeling of closeness and communion.
I was also aware of having to tilt my head up to meet her mouth -- a new experience for me!
When I straightened my head for a rest, my eyes were eye level with her collar bones. As my gaze dropped lower, I found the tops of her breasts showing over the top of her form-fitting blouse. They looked tanned, firm, smooth. Without any conscious thought, I bent my neck to kiss her breast.
Very softly "Please don't"
I moved my mouth back to hers, brushing my lips against hers.
We stood, holding each other and kissing for a while longer, and then went our separate ways.
[So, dear Suzette, if you are reading this...then know that I still think of you some 20 years later. I hope you don't mind where the rest of the story goes!]
Several weeks passed. Now, my pause at the door morphed into a moment of shared intimacy, as we grinned at each other.
Reader, have you ever had the experience of responding to something without involving conscious thought? And only after the response, realised what you were responding to?
I was walking to Mom's office when I found myself veering off to one side. Only then did I realise that what drew me from my path was Suzette! She was striding along, carry a filing box destined for the storeroom. She was wearing a pleated white skirt with black poka dots. The skirt wasn't particularly short, but her gorgeous long legs made it look tiny in proportion!
I followed her along the passage, watching her sway. Each time she did, her skirt flicked up, promising to show me the curve of her ass, but never actually delivering. The effect was mesmerising, and I would have followed her until I dropped dead of hunger or thirst. Fortunately, she reached the storeroom before that happened.
Once at the door she raised one leg to hold the box whilst trying to get the key in the lock. I jogged over, said a soft "Hello!" and took the box from her. She smiled at me gratefully and opened the door.
Inside were racking shelves to the ceiling, with most of the empty shelves near the ceiling. She opened a 3-step ladder and looked at me.
"Can you pass the box to me when I am up?" she said.
"Sure"
As she started to climb, she hesitated. "Now don't be naughty!"
"If you mean looking under your skirt, then no, I won't. But I am going to enjoy looking at your lovely legs!"
"Yeah! Right!"
With that, she climbed to the top rung. I was in heaven! I was eye level to the gorgeous, lithe, strong, tanned, smooth skin of her lower thigh.
"Hello...the box?"
I broke out of my reverie and sheepishly handed her the box.
As she reached to place the box, the ladder wobbled, and I instantly moved to stabilise it.
I ended up with a hand on either side, and my face pressed against her ass.
"Opportunist!" she called.
"Opportunity!" I thought, and very deliberately kissed her butt cheek.
I then moved back to give her room to climb down, encircled by my arms still holding the ladder.
She twisted around to face me, her big eyes fixed on mine.
I just had to tell her...
I drew her close, my hands on the curves of her hips, and said quietly in her ear...
"Suzette, I am trying very hard not to be a drooling lecherous idiot, but the effort is killing me."
(Giggle)
"You are so gorgeous! I love your face, your eyes, your beautiful mouth..."
