I started in the workforce when I was 20. Through 5 jobs for 4 companies over 15 years, I had never had a female boss. Blame the glass ceiling, not me. I would rather work for a competent woman than an incompetent man any day.
So I was delighted when I heard that my manager was being fired for "misuse of his work phone" (read: watching porn on it) and he was being replaced by Rebecca, the former manager of another branch.
I'd only met Rebecca - not, she would stress Becka, Becky or Bek - several times at conferences or work functions, but she'd always seemed pleasant, and I'd never heard a bad word about her management of her staff. I was relieved. My job often had me working late on projects, often directly with my manager. I figured Rebecca would be sure to make this easier than it had been under my former boss.
She was divorced with one kid, I remembered. I was married so thoughts of any romantic entanglement were the furthest thing from my mind.
It was six weeks before we slept together.
It's not a funny story, nor an original one. It's not even a story I'm particularly proud of. A two night stay at a hotel for a conference, too much booze, too little willpower. She was pushy and demanding. Loud and completely without abandon. I loved every second of it, but I felt like shit in the morning.
I rolled out of her bed and squinted at the red digits on the alarm clock on her side of the bed. 7:02am. I found my shirt. Wrinkled to hell. I'd have to sneak to my room and put on a new one before breakfast. I pulled it on anyway - better wrinkled than half naked - and looked around for my boxers. As I searched under the covers on my side of the bed, I looked up and noticed Rebecca looking at me. I apologised for waking her and explained what I was doing. With a sly smile, she said three words that changed our relationship forever.
"Just wear mine."
I'd never worn women's underwear before then. I had never thought about it. But when I laughed and continued looking for my boxers, Rebecca gave me a stern look and said in her best manager's voice
"I'm serious. Wear mine. The ones from last night." Her black panties were a dark patch on the carpet in the gloomy room. I picked them up, my face bearing a quizzical look. Rebecca reached out and took them. She sniffed them and handed them back "They smell like me. Wear them today and I'll fuck you again tonight."
With that, she rolled over and went back to sleep.
Somewhat sheepishly, I pulled her panties up my legs. I was used to boxers and these were - I would learn the styles later - bikini briefs. They did indeed smell like her. I could tell even as I pulled them up and awkwardly adjusted my balls. I put on pants, gathered my shoes and socks and whispered "See you at breakfast." Rebecca gave no reply.
My own room was across the hall and a few doors down. It was too early for anyone from the office to be heading to breakfast just yet, especially after the night we'd had, but I scurried as fast as I could anyway. Once inside I took off last night's wrinkled shirt and pulled off my trousers. I caught a glimpse of myself in Rebecca's black panties. They were simple, almost businesslike, but also somehow distinctly feminine. Just like Rebecca, I thought.
I slipped out of the panties and hung them on the hook on the back of the bathroom door, where my eyes drifted often as I showered. Memories of last night came back to me as I washed: Rebecca's tan lines, the taste of my own cock on her tongue, the pattern my cum had made when I jerked it onto her ass. I was hard as I toweled off, but a sudden pang of guilt ran over me and my cock went limp.
"Wear them today," I heard Rebecca's voice in my head and looked over at t panties on the hook "and I'll fuck you again tonight."
Had she meant that? Did I even want to? Last night had been a mistake. A one-off thing I could spend my life justifying and blaming alcohol, but twice was no mistake. This would be calculated, premeditated. Even if I could justify last night, this would unmistakably be cheating on my wife. This would be...
...Rebecca spitting on my cock before plunging her mouth over it. Her dark nipples like braille under my thumbs. The breathy way she said 'cunt'.
I reached out and took the panties off the hook. Five minutes later, I was buttoning a fresh shirt and leaving my room on the way to the breakfast buffet with my semi-hard cock squeezed into a pair of women's black cotton bikini briefs. It might have been my imagination, but they felt warm.
My heart was pounding as I rode the elevator down. I could barely concentrate on what anyone was saying as my colleagues trickled into the hotel restaurant in ones and twos. The pairs were exclusively of straight men and straight women. If you didn't know better, you'd swear no-one at all had hooked up last night. But if you looked closely you could see furtive looks between couples - and I was watching everyone closely, paranoid that someone was about to point at me like Donald Sutherland in that alien invasion movie and scream "paaaaantiiiies!"
I almost jumped out of my skin as a pair of hands grabbed my shoulders from behind. I realised that I could now recognise Rebecca's shampoo as her hair brushed my face. She put her burgundy lips close to my ear and whispered.
"Are you wearing them?"
"Yes."
"Good."
That was all. Rebecca walked away to join some other coworkers at the coffee station.
