Jack looked up from his desk to see Kate weaving her way through the office towards him. She was dressed in jeans and a tee shirt with a bolero style jacket over the top, and he thought she looked very smart. Not that she didn't look good in pretty much everything, although to be fair he'd only seen her in a work setting. They'd been working closely together for the last six months and he'd come to appreciate her precise, calm manner, evident in everything she did. He had on occasions wondered if she made love in the same manner or did she turn into a wild child.
Not that he'd ever find out, she was married, as evidenced by the wedding ring ever-present on her ring finger, and although she sometimes seemed a bit distracted when he'd mentioned her husband, he had no reason to believe it was anything other than a happy union.
He'd barely come across her in the large company they worked for until six months ago, when they'd been paired to lead a project together. It was the largest deal that the company had ever bid for, to build and run on a turnkey basis a medium sized hydro-electric plant in Spain. Jack was the 'technical' lead, being an experienced engineer, and Kate was finance and personnel.
They led a large team putting the bid together, and had ultimate responsibility for getting it right. As far as Senior Management went, that meant winning the deal, success was presumed and Jack did wonder sometimes if that was a fair presumption as there were plenty of other consulting engineering firms around, all of who would dearly love the contract and times were tough in the industry, everyone desperate to prove their green credentials.
She stopped at his desk and he asked, "All set?" She nodded. "How do you feel?"
"Nervous, apprehensive, excited and prepared," she responded, perching on the corner of his desk, one long denim encased leg swinging over the edge. "You?"
"Pretty much the same, it's been a long road and it'll be nice to reach the end of it, especially if we win the deal, sorry that should be
when
we win the deal."
"Where's your luggage?" she asked, looking around his desk.
"Left it in the car," he replied. They were flying out that afternoon, with their presentation to the Client's Board the next morning, and were staying over that night as well as the outcome was due to be announced immediately following the presentations. The main technical presentation had already been despatched and confirmed as meeting the required standards, this was an opportunity to re-inforce why they thought they should be the ones to build and run the plant.
"Me too," she said, "couldn't see the point in lugging three suitcases up here only to have to drag them back down again."
"Three suitcases!" Jack exclaimed, thinking of his one small case, "Just how many clothes do you need?"
"Well, there's my office clothes, my beach clothes in case we get a window for some beach time, evening clothes, casual clothes, not forgetting a couple of LBD's. 'Little Black Dresses'," she clarified as his eyebrows shot up. "Come on Jack, I thought you'd got to know me by now, I've got one small case and some hand luggage, probably less than you." Jack doubted it, but even though he knew she had a wicked sense of humour at appropriate times, he'd fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
"Right, let's get a move on then." He packed the papers he was reading into his laptop case and stood up.
"My car or yours?" She asked.
"Mine, I've already pre-booked the long-term parking under my registration." Together they walked out of the office, accepting the well wishes of the rest of the team and down to the car park, collecting her solitary case from the boot of her car and putting it in his. He grinned to himself as he saw hers was marginally bigger than his. "LBD my arse," he muttered to himself as he got in the driver's door and set off.
Kate looked over at him as he concentrated on negotiating the traffic on the way to the airport. She was glad she'd dressed informally for the journey, especially after seeing him in chinos, a button down shirt and a jacket at his desk. He was always so..... 'proper' was the only word that came to mind. Sure he was obviously a highly competent engineer and could manage his staff well and nothing ever looked rushed or half finished, nothing out of place. Bet he didn't even fart in bed, she smirked, imagining Mr Super Cool letting rip between the sheets. Unlike her husband.
Her mood soured as she thought of him and the unsatisfactory way they'd parted. They'd rowed the night before, he accusing her of not caring about their marriage, work always coming first, and what he called the 'endless nights away'. Twice in the last three months including this one, the biggest chance of her life, and he begrudged her that.
The rows had become more frequent, coldness replacing the love that they once had in abundance for each other, indifference now the norm. They'd had the obligatory sex the night before, well he had, she knew it was coming, he always wanted one last fuck as he called it. She'd gone to bed before him, hoping he'd be late up and had put on her usual tee shirt nightie and a pair of panties, and had settled down in bed, hoping to be asleep before he came to bed.
Instead he'd pretty much followed her up, had gone into the bathroom, peed and farted loudly in the en-suite then had emerged into their bedroom looking down at her. He'd stripped off, his cock already at half-mast and had slipped into bed beside her. Although she'd feigned sleep, she had known he knew she was awake. She'd felt the bed shake as he'd rubbed his cock into a full erection and then he had started.
She'd known exactly how it would pan out and it had. First he'd pawed her breasts through her nightie, roughly groping them. Then a hand underneath, mauling them and pinching her nipples hard. He'd pulled the hem up above her breasts and sucked them into his mouth, that at least was pleasant, if only he'd be like that all the time. A hand down the front of her panties, through her sparse trimmed pubic hair, even that he wanted her to shave to 'look sexier', his fingers finding her pussy and pushing straight in, wriggling and curling up inside her.
Off with her knickers, fingers sawing in and out of her pussy, then he'd mounted her, his body between her opened legs and forced his prick inside her. It had hurt a bit but she knew better than to complain as he had thrust hard between her legs. Four or five minutes of grunting later he'd cum, filling her with his revolting spunk and rolled away, to fall asleep within minutes. What once had been a beautiful act of love between them had been reduced to a simple animalistic rutting that she gained no pleasure from.
She'd lain there, unsatisfied and feeling used. She had realised she was idly toying with her pussy, her fingers dabbling in the cum that was seeping out of her and she'd pulled them away, then on an impulse pushed her hand back down to her clit. Slowly she had started to play with it, the pads of her fingers just circling round, then brushing over it, causing a frisson to run through her. Why couldn't he make her feel like that she had wondered, as her button hardened and her fingers flicked at it, sending fresh shivers across her body and a surge of pussy juice from inside her.
Her other hand had found her breast and teased her nipple, connected somehow to her clit judging by the tingles that were travelling from one to the other. Faster and faster her fingers had rubbed her clit, wave after wave of pleasure coursing through her, then she had felt her breathing getting more rapid, that feeling beginning to glow deep within her stomach, rising upward. She'd imagined making love to another man, kind and considerate, as her orgasm began to rise within her, suddenly bursting out as she'd gasped for breath and her body convulsed. Anxiously she had looked over at her husband, but he was still snoring, and pulling her panties back on, she'd turned away from him and tried to sleep, tears welling up in her eyes.
Jack looked across at Kate as he drove, his eyes flicking down to where the seat belt was tight between her breasts, outlining them. They looked nice he thought, not too large, but enough to make a man happy. He pushed those thoughts away, they were on business, it wasn't a holiday and he had no illusions as to any romantic interlude. Still they were nice.
He recalled a couple of days previously, he'd been at his desk working and she'd come across, leaning forward over his desk. He'd looked up and saw that her blouse was gaping open and he could see right down to her stomach, a bra encased breast quite plainly visible. He'd looked away immediately and didn't think she'd noticed him looking, she'd made no attempt to close the gaping blouse, and he tried desperately not to look again. But still, the sight remained in his memory. Unconsciously he adjusted his cock and focussed again on the road.
