The conference promised to be just another week of my life wasted listening to middle-aged project managers drone on and on about their progress. These conferences were all the same, or so I thought. Every so often there was some eye-candy in attendance, but usually the women were not that attractive, and were certainly suppressing any sensuality under their business suits.
Maybe that's why I was so floored when I saw her walk in on that first day. Most of us were still milling around, filling coffee cups and jockeying for a good place in the conference room, not too close, but close enough to see the screen. She was wearing a blue skirt with matching jacket, a white silk blouse, and black Italian pumps. Even the conservative cut of the jacket did nothing to hide the incredible body she had, petite yet curvy in all the right places. Her curly, shoulder-length brown hair and face reminded me of Lynne Russell, the Headline News anchorwoman who was on in the 90s.
Imagine my surprise when she unceremoniously plopped down into the seat next to me after quietly asking if the seat was taken. I nodded slightly before remembering to close my mouth. It took a second of getting myself together before I could even think straight.
"Rough flight?" I asked her, noting that she seemed to be a bit frazzled. It didn't take away from her beauty, but I could tell she was looking really tired.
"No, the flight was fine, just haven't been getting much rest lately." Her weak smile underscored her reply, and I instantly felt like I should do everything in my power to make this woman more comfortable.
I excused myself and quickly returned with a cup of coffee and some cream and sugar. "I figured you could use some." Her smile was all the thanks I needed as I settled back into my seat next to this luscious creature.
The morning was filled with information briefs, giving us a background for the three days worth of meetings and discussions. Everyone seemed to want to rush through the briefings, making the breaks very short. By lunch I was ready to get out of the seat and I noticed Liz squirming in her seat as well. I was hoping she'd follow me down for the lunch provided in the adjacent conference room, but she seemed to disappear before I could even ask her to join me.
Lunch was your standard conference fare, mostly sandwiches and salads, although the hotel had done a nice job of providing a nice spread. Soon enough it was time to return to the conference room for the afternoon's string of briefings.
I surprised myself with the elation I felt when I saw Liz slip back into the room and come back to her seat next to me. She must've gone to her room during lunch to rest, because she looked much more relaxed and not as fatigued.
The afternoon's meetings went fairly quickly, partly due to all the daydreaming I was doing about Liz's incredible body. Her perfume was just strong enough to distract me from the numerous slides and made me want to lean towards her in my seat. The warmth of her shoulder against mine felt wonderful in the cool air conditioned room, and Liz didn't seem to mind or pull back. By the end of the last briefing I noticed her squirming in her seat a little more than normal. I attributed it to sitting so long and didn't really think anymore about it.
"What are your plans for dinner?" It took me a second to process her question. I then remembered the reception planned for the conference attendees at 6:30. The agenda had included the menu for the reception, and I wasn't in the mood to try and find a decent restaurant after a day of meetings.
"I was just planning on pressing some flesh at the reception and filling up on free shrimp. What were you planning?" A blush crossed her face as she seemed to note the unintended sexual entendre in my comment. I realized how that could've come across and quickly added, "I'm sorry, I mean, err, you know, just mingle a bit before calling it an early night."
Her smile let me know she wasn't offended as she put her hand on my arm to tell me it was alright. "Okay, maybe I'll see you at the reception." I watched her walk out of the room and was frozen in place until someone bumped into me trying to file out into the hall. I grabbed my briefcase and quickly followed the crowd to the elevator bank to return to my room. I freshened up and changed into some khakis and a polo shirt, then sat down to watch the news to kill some time before the reception was scheduled to begin. No sense in arriving too early, I thought.
The hotel had gone all out to put on a great buffet with hungry execs milling around to fill up their small plates. Alcohol flowed freely as the hotel has a free happy hour every night. It's one of the reasons I always loved staying at that hotel. Free food and free liquor sure made up for all those boring briefings. Some of the execs had brought their wives to the conference since there were a lot more women than there had been present during the day. Many of them were trophy wives, some of them almost half the age of their husbands. But none of them compared to Liz in beauty and class as she walked into the banquet room. I was mesmerized as she made a beeline towards me. I actually felt butterflies in my stomach as she gave me a warm smile and spoke, breaking the trance.
"You alright? Maybe you should slow down on those drinks." Her playful manner instantly relaxed me as I regained my composure and offered to get her a drink. "Oh no, thank you, I can't drink, but a juice would be great."
"Can't drink? Why not? It's free." I realized how stupid that sounded since she looked like she could definitely afford a drink if that's what she wanted.
"Oh no, it's not anything like that, it's just that I just had twins and can't drink." I was floored as my eyes ran up and down her body, looking for clues that she might be telling me the truth. She had shed the jacket and now stood in front of me in the silky blouse and blue skirt, showing off her incredible figure even more. The blouse failed to conceal the full breasts pressing against the shiny material, as the skirt showed off her small waist and curvy hips. Being a huge fan of the female form and having spent many hours undressing beautiful women with my eyes, I estimated her measurements to be 36D-24-36.
I must've been staring for a bit too long as she started to get a bit uncomfortable, breaking me out of my trance again. "I'm sorry Liz, I just can't believe you've delivered a baby, much less two, anytime in recent history."
