If you're lucky, every once in awhile you fall for someone. Sometimes its love, sometimes its lust but its usually some sort of mixture. I was more than lucky when I first met a woman named Dianne B.
Dianne was working at the company I'd just joined. She was assigned to mentor me and we got along well. I was pleased to have made a new friend, one I continued to have lunch with every week. Even better, she was beautiful. Not some classic supermodel beauty but she pushed every button I had: long curly hair, sweet heart-shaped face, curvy body including eye-catching breasts, long legs and a toned bottom. I always had to work to not stare.
Even better, Dianne was a fashion addict. She was always dressed elegantly with sex appeal. You know, high heels, skirts, satin blouses, dresses that hinted at just a little cleavage but cupped her breasts smoothly. With the heels she stood a little taller than me, something she never ended teasing me about.
So why didn't I ask her out? Timing. Either I was with someone when she wasn't or vice versa. Fate was fucking with me big time. I'll admit that even when I was exclusive with someone, I fantasized about Dianne when I was alone. I enjoyed my time with Dianne and my secret lustings. I also enjoyed my secret fetish but that wasn't important... at first.
Dianne and I began servicing a local customer once a week. So we just shifted our normal lunch to happen after the customer meeting and we car-pooled from the office. It also turned out to be pretty near Dianne's house so from time to time, we'd stop when she had to pick something up. First time, she invited me in.
My heart started racing and my stomach was wobbly with arousal. I looked at everything from the narrow mud room, the spiral stair to the main floor, the mounted photographs as art around the walls, the hint of cinnamon in the air. I happened to be single at the time, but Dianne was dating someone steady so once again, nothing was going to happen.
"Do you mind if I make a quick sandwich?"
"No problem. I thought that salad you had was pretty small."
"Make yourself at home."
I could hear her rustling around in the galley kitchen as I passed her to find the bathroom. I really tried to find the bathroom. Honestly. First door I opened was to her bedroom. Her closet was open and the light was on inside. I could see dozens of dresses, blouses, skirts, pants, and the tempting glimpses of lace and satin in its furthest depths. I saw her panty drawer hanging half open, stuffed with thongs, bikinis, and boyshorts of lace, nylon, and satin. There was a pile of high heels on the floor in front of the chest of drawers.
I was trembling. My fetish? Well, I love lingerie... on women, but I also love to wear it, to be feminine. I was SORELY tempted to slip into the room and nick a quick pair of panties. I wanted to so badly but I resisted. I just couldn't do anything like that to her.
The door closed quickly and I hustled into the bathroom, flushing the toilet and emerging just when she looked down the hallway, sandwich in hand.
"You want anything?" The voices in the back of my head had a hundred quick suggestions but I managed a shake of my head. She ducked back into the kitchen and I made my way back into the living room. Deep breaths slowed my passions. I studied the photographs.
When Dianne finally emerged she was wiping a crumb from her lips... full red lips... gack! concentrate!
"Your photos?"
"Yep. I finally got off my butt and got them matted and framed this past spring. I took most of them the first couple years after I moved here."
"They are powerful, but grim. Most of them make me feel a little sad."
"Well, that's sort of what I was going for."
"I take happier photos," I blurted, a sudden inspiration gripping my mind. "I find them to be very powerful but I don't think they are for everyone."
"Oh now you have to show me some," she grinned, intrigued.
"Okay, someday soon."
After that visit to her place, I fashioned a plan and I spent time with my digital camera. I had tons of photos but I wanted these to be special. I pulled out my own collection of high heel shoes and took dozens of photos until I had a handful I really felt proud of artistically.
After a couple weeks passed just to show I wasn't super eager (it was hard!), I opened my laptop at our weekly lunch.
"You know those photos you asked about?"
