My story is about a turning point in my life which occurred some years ago when I was in my late twenties. I'd like to tell the story with as much accuracy as I can, but I confess that some details have grown fuzzy over time. I'm forced to use a bit of creative license to recreate events. Also, I'm concerned about keeping my anonymity, so that means I changed some minor details which might identify me to co-workers.
My first job after college was at a large electronics company in California. My fiancΓ© and I interviewed at lots of places. We both accepted jobs at the same company, though in different divisions, with a starting date that gave us the summer off. We got married a few weeks after graduation, spent eight weeks backpacking around Europe, and eventually found ourselves out in California at Orientation Training with a few pieces of furniture and even less money.
My husband, Richard, was a business major, and he started working as a Sales Rep. I was a math major, and my computer science minor got me a job in Customer Support answering a telephone. After a few years of this, Richard was a successful first-level sales manager, and I was organizing and teaching training classes to field engineers for new products. We were becoming the yuppie couple -- TINKs (Two Incomes, No Kids) with a starter home and two Hondas in the driveway. Now we had more furniture and more money.
But it was missing something. We were caught in the daily grind of 50-hour work-weeks. Richard was traveling once or twice a month, mostly to the East Coast for a few days at a time, and we seemed to be losing that spark between us. In hindsight it was a classic situation: take a little bit bored, add a little lonely, and combine that with my job which brought me into regular contact with interesting new people almost every week. It was a dangerous mix, at least for me.
That's when I met Mike. He came to California from Australia for a two-week training course I was teaching, along with two dozen other people from all around the world. He was a big guy, maybe two inches taller than Richard and more muscular. He was cute. He was funny. He was attentive. And he was a flirt. We hit it off right away.
The evening of the last full day session was the traditional dinner at a local restaurant. The entire group was there. We had a noisy time in a side room, with the traditional overindulgence of beer and wine and food and silly awards. And laughter. And flirting. I sat next to Mike, and by the end of the evening his hand was in my lap under the tablecloth. And I just let it happen.
And Richard was out of town on a trip. All the elements of danger in this one!
I don't remember exactly how it happened, or what exactly I was thinking, but Mike followed me home. I don't remember if it was his idea or my idea. It doesn't matter now. It was both of us. It was me offering him another beer, or him wanting to see a typical American house, or just neither of us wanting to have the evening end.
Things were a little awkward at first. I left him in the living room to start a fire in the fireplace while I went to the bathroom. Before I came out, I took off my pantyhose. What was I thinking when I did that?
Mike took his turn in the bathroom while I got him a beer and me a glass of wine, and we ended up on the floor in front of the fire, leaning against the couch, just silently absorbing the situation and waiting to see what was going to happen.
And what was going to happen, did. Mike began to kiss me, and I kissed him back. He was a sweet kisser. I guess most of all he was new and different, and that was exciting to me. So how did it happen that we ended up necking on the carpet? I don't remember. Too much wine that night, and too many years since then, have combined to dull my memory. It didn't seem exactly right, I remember, but it didn't feel completely wrong, either.
Mike's lips left mine, and before I knew it, his head was down near my crotch and he was lifting my skirt. My protests were mostly in my mind. My head was spinning with yes-no-do-don't and I couldn't seem to arrive at any conclusions faster than Mike was advancing. For him, and maybe for me, the absence of any "no" was a "maybe", and that was really a tacit "yes". I wanted to feel Mike making love to me more than I wanted to tell him to stop and let me think logically.
I'm not saying that Mike attacked me. No, he was just methodical. Gloriously methodical. He put his mouth to the crotch of my panties and breathed hot air, and I felt the moisture forming and my lips spreading and I just wanted him to keep going. I was allowing myself to be seduced by this almost stranger. I wanted him to make me crazy for him, and he knew it and made sure I was.
His fingers pulled aside the cloth, and I ached for his tongue to touch my flesh. I clenched my buttocks and raised my hips and tried to find him at the same time as his mouth found me, gently licking up and down my slit. I lay there on the floor, my eyes closed tight, my hands clenched into fists at my side, whimpering little noises and silently willing Mike to go harder, tongue deeper, to invade me. I couldn't raise my arms to embrace him, not yet anyway, because that would be admitting too much, too soon.
He stopped -- no, don't stop! β though only momentarily to pull down my panties. I lifted my hips to help, yet another act that carried me beyond the passive "maybe" and over to the active "yes", and now my pussy was completely exposed to his sight and touch. I just knew it was gaping with arousal. Come back, come back! I willed his mouth back to taste and explore and tease and nibble. I was louder now, and my fists relaxed into fingers that combed through his hair, squeezing his head to tell him that I liked his fat tongue thrusting into me and his little sucks and nibbles on my clit.
