I was an Environmental Biologist and she was a Chemist for a large company. She was tasked with making sure her company did not release toxins into the environment. My job was to turn them in if they did.
An "Unexplainable Event" was what brought us together. We had worked together for two months investigating the event. We were working on opposite sides for the hearing but worked well together and got along nicely.
The two sides and the federal judge had agreed that a compromise was preferable and Marcie and I were assigned to draw up a framework to present to an EPA review board. We were told we would likely be the ones presenting it to the agency six months later.
We were given four weeks to come up with the framework; we had the framework done in three hours.
We spent the rest of the time falling in love.
As soon as we had completed the framework she kissed me. It started out as just a kiss in celebration but it morphed into an announcement of sorts.
I backed away from it and she began to apologize but I stopped her with the exact same kiss and she followed that one up with a definitely passionate kiss.
An intercom message scared us apart. We were summoned to a meeting with our bosses. In their office they asked us if four weeks would be enough for us.
Before I told them we were done Marcie said that four weeks might be a tight fit but we would do our best. I was too stunned to do anything other than nod.
They told us to keep them posted and go to lunch. We made our promises and left.
We held hands as we walked to a nearby restaurant where she told me how things really worked. "It is obvious to our bosses that it would be best if we took our time coming up with anything," she said. "They both want to be able to say that the process has begun and the media would be kept up to date. They know that the short attention span of the general public will be fixed on something else in four weeks.
We then announce the agreement, check on each other's findings for five months and pack to go to D.C.
We know the damage was minimal if there was any at all.
We know whatever problems were going to crop up would have already done so. Neither of us has found anything. We do not expect to find anything.
We do not even know anything was actually released into the water, all we know is that a valve was open when it was supposed to be closed. An alarm went off. People panicked. The media did their duty. If we tell them nothing happened too soon they would defend their overreaction, call it a cover-up.
In the meantime we will get paid to work together. We can easily justify working out in the field, just the two of us. We both have boats available to us. That is where I want us to be, out there, together. Any objections?"
I certainly did not have an objection to the fact that she was not wearing a bra. "No, that was a brilliant exposition. Speaking of brilliant exposition, I can see all of your right tit."
"Yes, I know. You are the first man to see it in years."
"I am honored. We have only known each other for two months. What has happened to us?"
"We are complementary nerds. We see what the other does not, but even better we can share our thoughts effortlessly and can easily see things from the opposite viewpoint. Together we add up to more than two."
"You make it sound like love."
"There is that too," she said as she kissed me. "Thanks for the kissing me back this morning. It is not ladylike to be the first to kiss so I waited, ladylike, for you to kiss me. Then I just decided my ladylike days had expired."
I leaned over to her and as I kissed her I slid a finger into the gap at the top of her sundress and gently caressed her nipple. She moaned into the kiss.
I withdrew my lips and finger.
"I see your gentlemanly ways have expired too," she said as her hand softly landed on my crotch.
A waitress startled us as she asked us if we wanted dessert.
Her grin told us she obviously knew what kind of dessert we wanted. We declined, thanked her and left her a nice tip on the company credit card.
We returned to our small conference room and resumed our kissing. I soon had a breast in my hand and she had a hand on my cock. Soon after that my hands were on bare breasts and hers were on exposed cock.
I had to call time out. My explosion was imminent.
She took the opportunity to go to the restroom so I did too. I wanted to masturbate but the restroom had an attendant. We were on the same floor as the big bosses.
I left the men's room more than a bit frustrated.She had just come out of the ladies room and I followed her to our conference room.
Since we had meetings with the bosses we had dressed up some. We had only seen each other in jeans or shorts and t-shirts until that day. She was wearing a nice sundress with sandals, she looked delicious. I was in slacks, dress shirt and sport coat. No tie, I did not own any. Still, she said I looked sharp.
When I closed the door behind us I noticed she had a handful of paper towels. I watched her open her briefcase and take an item out from the folds of the paper towels. It was her panties.
