As mentioned, Candace's job at the Development Office was largely devoted to trying to find wealthy donors to the campus's endowment. It was oftentimes a thankless job, but Candace went about it in the spirit of a treasure hunt, and it always tickled her when she "struck gold" by getting someone she didn't expect to donate a wad of money.
In recent years, a man named Richard Cottermanâwho lived in Winthrop, Massachusetts, on the North Shore, although occasionally he could be found in various spots in Maineâdonated a modest but regular amount every six months or so. Candace discovered that he was an alumnus (Class of 2000), and estimated his age at about forty-two, only two years younger than herself. He seemed self-employedâsomething in the tech fieldâbut also seemed to have a fair amount of time on his hands. Recently he had stated by email that he might be inclined to start donating a much larger sum, and so Candace decided that it was time for a face-to-face meeting. He took her up on her invitation, agreeing to come to her office around 3 p.m. on a Thursday.
Candace wasn't entirely thrilled at the prospect of meeting him. She had a prejudice against "techies" as a bunch of nerds crunching numbers into a tablet while continually pushing their thick-lensed glasses up onto their noses. Such guys were notoriously awkward in social situations, weren't they? Candace whimsically considered the idea of making a mild pass at him and gauging his horrified reactionâbut thought better of it, since that could jeopardize his whole donation campaign, and jeopardize her job in the process.
When Richard walked into her office, ushered in by her secretary, Candace froze in the act of extending her hand toward him.
Richard Cotterman was about six feet tall, incredibly broad around the shoulders and chest, and with thick but shapely thighs on his strong legs. But it was his face that set her heart a-flutter: there was a cragginess to it reminiscent of the classic film noir private eye of the 1940s, and yet a gentleness around his hazel eyes that bespoke tenderness and sensitivity. And when Richard reached out to take her hand, the contact somehow seemed to electrify her.
She looked down at the hand being takenâgently but firmlyâby this amazing man, then looked back up at his face, which was placid but mildly puzzled. Eventually he released her hand, but continued to stand facing her. Candace, for the life of her, could not utter a word. She had to hold on to the edge of the desk to prevent herself from falling in a heap to the floor.
Then she did something she never thought she would ever do in her life.
Still without saying a word to her guest, she looked around her small office for an appropriate place for what she was contemplating. At last she saw that her desk, relatively clean and uncluttered, was her only option. Giving Richard a plangent look, she bent over the desk, resting her torso on the flat surface, leaving her legs hanging down to the floor.
Then, already in a kind of dream or trance, she lifted up her skirt and exposed her thin cotton panties to her visitor.
It seems Richard was, far from being socially awkward, in the habit of dealing with any situation, however unexpected, with grace and aplomb. He walked calmly so that he was directly behind Candace. Then he took hold of her panties on either side of her hips and brought them down to her knees.
He now gazed at Candace's sex, assessing the situation. He could see a little trickle of fluid leaking out of her labia and down the inside of her thighs. Unhurriedly, he unzipped his pants and brought out his member. For an instant Candace wondered in alarm if he would stuff it into her anus without lubrication; but he chose the simpler way and went into her pussy.
Seizing her hips with both hands to keep his balance, he thrust into her forcefully but without the least show of violence. She could sense that his organ was at least eight inches, perhaps a bit more; and as he pumped, he went in farther and farther, until she could feel the smooth cloth of his pants against her thighs. But what she felt most of all was the sense of being totally filled by one of the most desirable men she had ever seen or met.
She did nothing else, spreading her arms across the desk as if she were a sacrificial lambâand that's exactly what she felt like. She couldn't remember the last time she had been so passive and helpless, but that didn't trouble her.
She heard Richard's grunts getting louder and more urgent, and suspected his culmination was approaching. But, gentleman that he was, he now slipped his hand down to Candace's sex, fingers on either side of his cock as he continued to pound her, and stroked her labia and clitoris as best he could reach them from this position. That was enough: when, a moment later, he sent an enormous emission deep into her vagina, she cried out in tandem with him as a mind-bending orgasm caused her to shudder throughout her body.
He remained firmly embedded in her for minutes after he was finished. Then, slowly, he pulled out, put his cock daintily back into his pants, and zipped up.
Once again the gentleman, he slid Candace's panties back into place, even though they promptly got damp from the joint fluids leaking out of her.
She got back onto her feet, letting the skirt fall back down to cover her thighs. Then she stumbled over to her desk chair, landing heavily on it and wriggling a little as the moisture pooled around her crotch. Looking straight at Richard, she said:
"Hi, I'm Candace Merrill. Why don't we talk about your donation . . ."

When Candace came home that afternoon, Julie was sitting on the couch reading a textbook. She could immediately see, from the dazed and dreamy look on her mother's face, that something strange had happened.
"Mom, what is it?" she said sharply. "What's the matter with you?"
Candace gazed at her daughter quizzically, as if she didn't recognize her. Then she burst into a broad smile and said, "I just had sex in my office. Right on my desk."
"You
what?"
Julie exclaimed. "Jesus. Mom, why? With who?"
"With
whom,
dear," Candace mechanically corrected. "It was a guy."
"Well, I figured it was a guy."
Although you've been known to take females to bed too, including yours truly.
"Julie," Candace said contemplatively, "I've been involved in the battle of the sexes a lot longer than you have. Honestly, I can't remember the last time a man made me weak in the kneesâand wet between my legs. But this Richard Cotterman didâoh, man, did he ever!" And she looked off in the distance with a goofy smile on her face.
"Oh, so you had sex with this man just because he made you wet?"
"Yup."
"And I suppose he didn't bat an eye and went along and did it?"
"Yup."
"Typical guy! Never say no to free sex."
"No, he's not like that."
"Isn't he?"
"He's . . . incredible."
Julie had never seen her mother like this. It was as if she were reverting to being a schoolgirl. But she didn't have much time to reflect on this, as Candace now suddenly sprang into action.
"Get up, dear," she ordered. "We have work to do."
"What do you mean?" Julie said.
