Each year the biology department has a summer reception; an academic year-ending banquet for faculty and guests. The event is also used to showcase some of the research highlights to alumni and other top tier donors. There's an awards ceremony and some of the more outstanding students are also invited. The party is very good and most of the staff attends each year, except for Matthew. He usually skips citing some conflict. He acts anti-social, but it's more of an elitism he tries to give off. Maybe he just doesn't want to spend anymore time with people he already works all week with. I like to go, if for no other reason than to be a live witness to the co-worker debauchery.
"Let me see the list." I told Carol. She was the Dean's admin who collected all the responses for the event. I leaned over the wall of her cube to see her computer screen. She pulled up the spreadsheet so I could see the guest list and who replied they're coming.
"You need to RSVP by Friday, so this should be pretty close to the final list." Carol mentioned.
I scanned the list. Most of the usual people accepted. This year, Matthew replied "yes" too. I was surprised at first, but then I thought about it. My guess is he wants to treat it like his own personal going away party. He only has about three weeks before he starts his new job. He gives zero fucks. He's just going to drink as much as he wants, then make the rounds to make everyone who's staying feel like a loser. Maybe I'm being too harsh. It's not as if people don't like him. In fact, they love him. Too much. He's a total bullshitter.
"Thanks Carol. Looks like a good crowd." I said as I turned to head to lecture.
"No problem," Carol replied.
I saw Matthew in the hall on my way back from lecture. I wasn't going to waste time coaxing it out of him. He'd just try to play with me and avoid the question.
"What made you decide to go this year?" I asked
He rolled his eyes, "I didn't have a choice," in a pathetic attempt to complain.
"I don't believe for a minute you could be forced," I said, "especially when you already gave notice you're leaving. What are they going to do? Fire you?" I was ready for his bullshit excuses.
"I didn't say I was forced, only that I didn't have a choice, which I suppose is just as exaggerated as saying I was forced. I'm sorry, maybe it's more accurate to say I was incentivized. I felt like I didn't have a choice because the Dean made a good case." Matthew said.
"And you didn't have a better offer? Are the Red Sox out of town? Mike and Bill can't go to Mohegan Sun with you?" I provoked.
"Yes, Sox are on the road. That helped, but you know how Feng Zhang is supposed to give a talk? The Dean said he'd seat me next to him at the reception." Matthew said.
"Why would he do that?" I asked.
"Because, I expressed interest. The Dean knows how much I've used Zhang's work to advance my own research. He probably thinks we'd have an interesting conversation. Maybe Zhang would start some collaborations with us. Who knows? Who cares?" Matthew rambled.
"That's it? That's why you're going this year?" I pressed.
"Basically. I don't mind the summer reception if it's going to be interesting. If it's going to be a bunch of students and a lame keynote then I can find dinner elsewhere."
"Whatever," was my parting word to him as I walked back to my office. He's such an ass. Why do people give him things? Why would the Dean sweeten the deal for him to come. Sure, the Dean's a politician, but Matthew is leaving. Why do I care?
The reception came up quick. I didn't plan an outfit. I rifled through a bunch of options in my closet the night before. I wanted to be comfortable because it was hot out, but it was probably going to be cool inside with all the air conditioning. Then I came across this dress I forgot I had. It was a deep crimson, sleeveless, front split halter. It fit perfect, just above the knee. I put the dress on to remind myself how it looked in the mirror. I love my tits in this dress. If Matthew held my tits like this dress did I probably would have cum twice as fast when we hooked up a few days ago.
I started day dreaming again, sitting on my bed in front of my closet. I started rubbing my boobs through the dark fabric, thinking about his mouth on me. The way he licked the underside of each breast, sweeping up to my nipples, then sucking and biting them. My nipples were hard with that memory in my head. I pulled up the hem of my skirt a little so I could reach myself. I started rubbing my pussy from the outside. Then I thought about how he stroked his fingers against my underwear, teasing my clit through the layers of fabric.
Still in the dress, I laid on my mattress. I mimicked the way he traced the edges of my panties, working his fingers around the corners of my groin. He did this thing where he would press his fingers into my skin. My senses went into overdrive when he did this. Besides sending tingles across my skin, this move also created a gap between my flesh and my panties that he could sneak his fingertips under. He used this subtle access to play with the edges of my labia. I pretended my fingers were his and walked my index and middle fingers across the soft outer rim, gently rubbing the wet inner border. I could feel my whole pussy start to swell. My clit stiffened while still nestled between my labia, tucked beneath my underwear. I withdrew my hand and pulled the dress up higher. I reinserted my fingers into my underwear from above. My clit needed some attention and I slowly worked my middle finger across my pubic mound, making sure to massage some more wetness into my creases. I knew Matthew liked to tease me and ramp me up slowly. I imagined his whole hand inside my panties fondling me, working his way to my most sensitive areas. I was nice and wet now, so I reached into my nightstand and pulled out my favorite toy.
I used one hand to pull aside my panties, the other to rub the tip of my dildo against the groove in my pussy. Gently dragging it up and down, I nudged it deeper, imagining Matthew wetting the edge of his cock in my waiting vagina. I imagined him above me, his arms and shoulders holding up his chest and torso, with his hips about to dock with mine.
I pushed the head of the dildo just past the entrance of my pussy. I closed my eyes thinking of Matthew's thick cock penetrating me so that the round edges of his head caught just inside my tight, engorged vulva. I slowly gave my toy a quarter twist left, and then back again to the right. I wanted to feel the anatomy of Matthew's cock push against the most sensitive surfaces of my pussy.
I had to have his full length inside me. I plunged the dildo inward. My pussy swallowed it whole. I arched my back taking in exactly what my pussy was craving. I pictured Matthew fucking me slowly as my hands and my imagination directed the strokes of his dick. My free hand traced circles around my clit while I continued to fuck my pussy using long strokes. I angled the dildo upwards to press harder on my g-spot. My fingers pressed into my clit and I rubbed harder from the outside. I was getting close to orgasm fast by thinking about how Matthew fucked me so deeply. I remembered how his balls bumped up against my butt cheeks. My knees were in the air helping me open my pussy wider. I stroked the dildo faster and matched the pace rubbing my clit. My shoulders involuntarily squeezed together pressing my boobs closer together. On the edge of orgasm I felt my pussy grab and suck on the fat cock inside me. I had a nice, long eruptive orgasm. I left the dildo inside me and stroked the outside of my full, wet pussy.
Laying there in recovery made me want Matthew's cock again. In that moment, I also made my decision about wearing that dress.
The evening of the reception, I arrived early to get a decent seat and ease into mingling. The program seemed good and I was in no rush to do anything else that night. The summer reception was held at the Museum of Fine Arts this year. The museum was a great venue. They had a courtyard set up in the center of the museum for the main event, which was perfect for the warm summer evening. There were strings of illuminated globes stretching along white trellises. The sun hadn't set, leaving the sky whirled blue with red and orange. The edges of the museum became brighter, framing the stars revealing themselves one by one as darkness took over above.
I went to the bar, ordered a martini. I turned around and Matthew startled me, standing right behind me. I simultaneously caught the sight of him in a pressed white shirt and charcoal jacket, and the unmistakable scent of his cologne and skin. As much as I try to prepare, he always seems to catch me off guard and completely disarm me in one seamless action. I froze for a moment, my senses stunned into overload.
"What did you get?" he asked before I could react. I wanted to scold him for sneaking up on me. I wanted to put him off balance by telling him how much of a weirdo he is for sneaking up on me. He knew exactly what he was doing though. Such a manipulator, everything had to be calculated.
"Dry Bombay sapphire, up, with a few olives," I answered. "And what are you doing here? I thought you were lying when you were telling me that you were coming tonight. I thought you'd RSVP then no-show."
"Is overthinking a hobby? Because you're pretty good at it. Maybe there's a club or league or something," he teased. "Have you ever been to this museum?" I changed the subject.
"Once or twice in grad school. I wasn't really into art," he answered, "but I like the architecture."
