I was on a business trip with a colleague, Tess, for the first time.
Tess was a newly minted manager, and I was the technical lead. We'd known each other for a few years at work, but had never worked together.
I'd been a manager before, but found I preferred technical job assignments.
Tess was out to prove herself, being new in the job.
I was tasked with keeping the team on the right technical path, and keeping Tess out of the rough.
Tess was an attractive woman. Large boned, she stood about 5'9" tall, blonde shoulder length hair, bright blue eyes, a pretty face with a nearly perfect oval shape, a very attractive, bright toothy smile, and a bubbly personality.
She dressed well, and chose clothes that accentuated her curvy figure, rather than reveal her heft. Being a big woman, she had a very round ass, and very large breasts that shook as she walked.
It could be hypnotic to watch her walk down the hall toward me, or away from me. She was divorced and had never had kids.
We arrived on a late flight and made our way together to the hotel and checked in, planning to meet in about thirty minutes in the lobby to walk across the street to a restaurant that kept late hours and, we were told by the front desk, had a nice bar.
I got into my room, unpacked some toiletries, changed my shirt, made some calls and responded to some emails.
The room was spacious and nicely appointed, which I expected given my premier status at this hotel chain. A nice king-sized bed, a full master bathroom suite with a jacuzzi and a very large shower with steam panels.
I enjoyed the steam panels after a long day of meetings to relax me before dinner.
Not tonight, though, as Tess and I were meeting shortly.
We both arrived in the lobby at the same time and headed across the street to the restaurant. It was early fall, so the temperatures were still quite nice.
Tess had changed into a pair of comfy looking jeans, and a nice silk blouse that accentuated her large breasts. She chose a pair of low-heeled black pumps to round out her outfit.
I noted that her nipples were poking through her blouse.
"Are you cold?" I asked innocently.
"Not really, maybe a little." she said with a smile.
I quipped, "I'd offer you my jacket, but I don't have one."
She rolled her eyes and said "I'll be fine."
We got inside the restaurant and I could feel the air conditioning keeping the place cool.
Tess shivered slightly. Her nipples were still erect, and even more noticeable now.
I casually asked, "Are you going to be alright in here? I could run back and get my jacket."
She smiled a wide smile and said, "Oh, I'll be fine in a few minutes. But that was very gentlemanly of you to ask and offer." And then she batted her eyelashes while looking directly at me.
I smiled back at her and ever so slightly raised an eyebrow.
We got seated in a few minutes. I asked her if she liked red wine.
She said, "If you're picking, I'm drinking." My reputation of having good taste in wine preceded me.
"You trust me?" I asked with a little bit of the devil in my voice.
"I've heard from others you know your red wines." she replied with a lilt.
OK, I thought, I hoped they had a nice wine on the list.
Menus and the wine list came, and we ordered some bread and sparkling water.
I quickly studied the wine list and found a bottle that was quite a nice red blend at a pretty good price and ordered it.
The server returned quickly, opened the wine, offered me a taste to approve, which I did, and she poured us each a glass.
Tess picked up her glass and quietly said, "To a new job assignment and new friends!"
We clinked glasses as I mulled over the phrasing of her toast. We really needed to be professional, but she was a very attractive woman.
After a sip of wine, I looked at her quizzically and asked, "Friends?" with just a hint of a smile peeking through my mustache and goatee.
She smiled and said "Of course, we need to be friends, but we need to be professionals too if we're going to work this job together. We can be both."
I agreed with an emphatic nod and bright smile.
I asked, "What would you like to talk about?" thinking she'd want to strategize a little about our meetings the rest of the week.
She chirped back, "No work stuff. I want to talk about you and me so we get to know each other better so we can work better together."
I thought this a little odd, but the working together theme seemed to be big with her, so I went with it.
"OK, what do you want to know?"
Tess thought a few seconds, looking up and to the side with her finger in her dimple and a cherubic smile.
"I want to know about what you like to do for fun, a little about your homelife, things you like, things you don't like. Stuff like that."
I thought for a second and said, "OK, but I want the same from you in return."
Tess eagerly replied, "Absolutely!"
I started, "Well, I'm married, with two girls in their teens. Been married for twenty-some years, living the house we built when the kids were very small. I'm very involved with the girls, their sports, and school of course. We both work lots of hours and travel, so we don't spend as much time with each other as we'd like."
Tess said, "Sounds like a nice existence, except for the not spending time together. Very suburban. Keep going."
I added, "I like the finer things in life, good wine, nice vacations, nice hotels, restaurants, and, as you've apparently heard, good wine."
Tess smiled and said, "Well, not sure if this hotel fits that mold too well."
I thought about that for a minute and realized that my premier status shielded me from the less well-appointed rooms.
"Well, because I've traveled so much, I kinda get my pick of the best rooms."
Tess's beautiful blue eyes went wide "No way, I need to see your room!"
Without thinking, I said, "Sure, after we finish dinner, no problem."
I then turned the tables and asked, "OK, enough about me, what about you?"
She smiled,
I quickly glanced at her blouse and could see she was still cold, or so I thought.
"Well, I'm divorced, no kids, no pets, live alone in a nice townhouse that I bought after the divorce. I like to travel all around, and eat well and drink nice wine.
She continued on, "I pay attention to my wardrobe. By that I mean, I'm a big girl, you know."
My eyes and smile gave me away.
"What are you smiling about? I'm comfortable in my own skin and have no problem being a BBW."
The term surprised me, but I said, "I think that's great that you don't let yourself be bothered by female stereotypes that demand you be thin and lithe and perfect all the time."
She smiled and blushed. "Thank you, you're very nice to say that."
I quipped, "To each their own" and raised my glass while smiling warmly at her, looking directly into her eyes.
Tess raised her glass as well; we toasted and drank a healthy swig of wine and I refilled our glasses.
The server came by, took our orders and disappeared again.
We continued to talk throughout the meal, which dragged things out, but we were enjoying the discussion and, quite honestly, each other's company.
Our meals came after a bit, after enough time that we finished the bottle of wine, so we ordered two more glasses only.
After all we had to work in the morning...
The food was delicious, we shared tastes of our meals with each other, and continued talking.
Tess started talking about her divorce, without my asking, from her ex-husband.
I was curious, so I listened attentively.
Tess said things started going off the rails after about three years. He was older than her by a fair amount, and she wanted more "excitement" -- which I translated to she wasn't getting enough sex -- than he was willing to provide. So, they split and she's been divorced for about ten years.
I think the wine was loosening us up, because I found myself asking, "So, were you able to up the excitement in your life?" before I could stop.
Tess smiled and blushed again. "Well, to be honest, not really, but I have quite a collection of toys that help keep me happy!"
I raised my eyebrows quite a bit, and she broke out laughing, which made me laugh.
We calmed down and I said, "Well, thanks for sharing that little nugget."
She immediately quipped back, "Well, you know what to get me for Christmas now, don't you?"
We both laughed lustily.
The server reappeared, killing that part of the conversation and asked if we needed anything else.
I looked at Tess and she shook her head.
I said "Just the check, please."
The server disappeared and came back within minutes with the check. As it was a business meal, we split the check and headed toward the door.
I could tell that Tess was still cold, because her nipples were as erect as they were when we came in. But then I recalled where our conversation had gone and thought perhaps, she was just turned on.
I casually asked her if she was going to be alright in the cool night air.
Tess smiled and said "I'm a big girl, I'll tough it out."
We walked quickly back across the street to the hotel and went to the elevator lobby.
"Can I still come and see your room?" Tess asked with a lilt in her voice.
Unflinchingly I said, "Sure, I'll give you the nickel tour."
We got in the elevator car, headed up to my floor, and then made our way to the room.
As we walked, I was thinking, "What are you doing?"
I opened the door and immediately Tess wore an expression of total surprise at the level of amenities my room had.
She exclaimed "Wow, you've got nice linens, really plush towels, and this shower is to die for! Have you ever used it?"
I answered "Yeah, on other trips. It can be very relaxing after a long day of meetings."
She cooed, "Oh, I would so love that. But you have a jacuzzi tub, too! How can you choose between the two?"
I quipped, "I'm a guy. I don't do baths."
