I'm Mark and I'm a 31 yr old IT manager for a large California based company with branch offices in almost half the states and a few in Canada. The good news is that I've got enough seniority that I don't have to travel as much as I used to for the stupid little things that the local tech couldn't fix. The bad news is that when I do travel, it's usually longer and more work - which is why I was in Chicago in February. Thankfully Barb, the sexy lady I'm married to understands the occasional time away and is always horny as hell when I come home which makes for a great return!
I'm not sure who at the corporate level decided that February would be a great time to not only move to a new location but also do a major software upgrade. Either one on their own I might have been able to avoid but the two together meant I would be there to oversee everything. I'd been to that office a couple of times over the last few years and at least knew the manager there (Kate) was very good and would have everything she could done before I got there.
It was a 2 week long stay but other than the usual problems like a bad wire/connection or a workstation glitch, everything went pretty much on schedule so it wasn't too stressful. I got to know Kate a bit better and not only was she very capable, she was also good looking and friendly but in a professional way. I'm not sure how old she is but I'd guess pretty close to my age.
It was about noon on the last day and the weather was shit - forecasting snow, wind and cold so with the systems down most of the staff had been sent home. Kate, a couple of techs and I were finishing the last testing before calling it a day when Kate came over and told me I'd better check my flight as she'd just gotten a call from her live-in boyfiend Dan to say his flight back to Chicago had been cancelled (I'd learned he was a sales rep for a medical company and had been gone almost the same two weeks for a conference and some sales calls). Sure enough, while I was on hold with the airline, my phone pinged with a text saying my flight had been cancelled and that they would update me once flights resumed.
Next call was to the hotel I'd been staying at (thankfully only a block and a bit away) to book a room for another night and then a call to my wife to let her know I wouldn't be home. We were both disappointed - 2 weeks was the longest I'd been away in a while and she'd promised me one of her awesome blowjobs in turn for me licking her to at least 2 orgasms first. I told her how much I'd miss the taste of her pussy and the feel of her pussy as she straddled my face and she could choose whether she did it before or after we'd had sex. After telling her I loved her and hanging up, I turned around and Kate was only about 6' behind me with a look of surprise on her face (and possibly a bit of arousal but maybe that was just me).
There were a few awkward seconds before either one of us said anything. I figured I'd break it with "sorry..was just talking to my wife" as I felt my face getting hotter and hotter.
She was clearly flustered and a bit red too as she stuttered out a "ya, I uh...got some other stuff I've got to do" and left me standing there wondering what just happened.
By 1pm we'd finished the last few things, the testing was complete, everything worked fine,the other techs were gone and Kate and I were getting ready to lock the office when she got a call on her cell and other than the first 'hello' all I got was a series of "oh no", "shit" and "oh crap".
When she hung up, she said that it was her neighbour telling her that the news had said everyone should stay where they were and a lot of the roads were being closed by police. I asked her what she was going to do and Kate said she lived in the suburbs about 40 minutes away and had been stuck at the office before so always had a sleeping bag/pad there and some snacks.
I thought about telling her I'd be willing to share my bed at the hotel but didn't think that would sound right so instead I said, "well, it's all going on the company card so why not at least come to the hotel and we can have a good supper and maybe a drink or two?"
She thought about it for a few seconds and said that a meal and a drink sounded a lot better than the snacks and a pop from the office so we headed to the hotel so I could check in and hit the restaurant. It wasn't a long walk but by the time we got to the hotel we were both half frozen and covered in snow they storm had certainly hit and hit hard. When we got to the check in desk, it didn't take long to realize there was a problem. The room they'd booked me into had to be closed because of a water leak and with the storm they were almost fully booked. Thankfully it was a corporate card for their chain nation wide so they knew we booked a lot of rooms through them and quickly upgraded me to an executive suite.
Rather than wait downstairs, Kate came up to see the room and use the bathroom before we ate. It was a hell of an upgrade, small kitchenette, a huge bedroom, separate living room with a big screen tv and when Kate went to the bathroom I heard "Wow, you've got a jacuzzi tub!"
Sure enough, the bathroom split into two rooms - one with a decent sized jacuzzi and the other the toilet, sink and shower.
"Wow" I said, "I know what I'll be doing after supper!"
"Great, I'm staying at the office and you get to come back and soak in the tub" was her quick reply.
That immediately made me picture her in the tub with and as much as I tried I just couldn't push the thought out of my mind before I said, "Well, I'm certainly willing to share!"
I tried to put enough of a smile on my face that if she was offended I could at least claim I was joking but all she said was "oh...that's so nice of you!"
She kept a totally straight face when she said it so I couldn't tell if she was serious or being funny but when I caught her eye there was a sparkle there that told me she'd just done the same thing I'd done, left it so she could always claim she meant it in a different way.
"Well, let's go for some food before they shut the restaurant down and at least enjoy some of the evening."
I hadn't stayed at this hotel before but I'd stayed in a lot of their other hotels so knew the food should be good and I was right. Seeing it was a company card and I was with another employee it was an easy write-off so we each had a great steak dinner, a few drinks and dessert. We talked as we ate and I was soon quite enjoying her company - she was easy to talk with, had a great laugh and we were soon carrying on like old friends. As we were trying to decide if we wanted another drink, Kate said, "well, maybe one more then I guess it's back to the office for the night."
The way she said it I was pretty sure she wasn't looking forward to going back to the office and I knew I was treading on dangerous ground but was enjoying her company so took the chance and said, "Well I wouldn't want you to go back yet if you don't want to. I've got some rum in my bag, I could always grab some mix and there's always that jacuzzi tub."
She thought about it a bit before saying, "Maybe just the drink, I don't exactly have a suit with me."
