"Hey, could you show me how to Bate Stamp low on the page like you did it last time?"
I shoved the file home, then stood from my bent position. I kicked the cabinet door closed and turned to my co-worker.
I was surprised to see she had been looking at my ass. More surprising, she took her time raising her eyes to meet mine, lingering on my chest on the way up.
Today, she was wearing a low-cut dress with tiny purple flowers that came to her knee, with black wedges that made her at least 4 inches taller. Her dark curly hair framed her face and trailed down to the small of her back. Her green eyes sparkled with mischief as usual, the corners of her lips turned up into a smirk.
She raised a brow, and the smirk turned into a full-fledged grin. "Please?" She begged teasingly, her voice an octave lower and definitely suggestive.
I was thrown, but I admitted to myself that it was thrilling.
"Sure." I replied, trying to sound nonchalant. I walked the few steps to her computer and leaned forward, grabbed the mouse, clicking on the appropriate options. I walked her through the process then glanced over to see that she got it.
Only, instead of looking at the computer screen, she was looking at me. I was startled to see how close we were, our faces only inches apart. I could smell her shampoo- a sweet, flowery scent. I inhaled, taking it in and blurted, "You smell good."
She smiled wider at me and whispered, "You do too."
I wasn't sure if she was messing with me or not, but if her body language and look on her face were any indication, she was flirting with me. I knew she had been with women before, but never thought she was into me that way.
I know I had never been attracted to a woman before. It was very unsettling.
"Thanks?" It came out a question, for lack of a snappy comeback. My mind had totally blanked.
As if it were the most natural thing in the world, we both leaned in and our lips met. Soft and hesitant at first, the kiss quickly became more. She ran her tongue across my lips and I opened for her, my own tongue learning the taste and feel of her. Unconsciously, I brought a hand up- computer, mouse, and even work forgotten- and spread my fingers through her hair, cupping the back of her neck.
I'm not sure who broke the kiss first, or which one of us was more shocked. We both jumped back, coming to our senses.
We were at work for fuck sake! Anyone could have rounded the corner at any time and seen us.
Horrified, I started back peddling to the door. "I'm sorry, I-"
At the same time, she said, "Wow. That was-"
Our eyes met again and this time the truth shone through. We had both liked it.
"Yeah." I breathed out, almost afraid to say it out loud.
"Yeah." She agreed.
At the sound of footsteps in the hall, I turned and fled, sure my face was as red as my shirt. I sat down heavily in my chair, trying to slow my racing heart and rapid breathing, two thoughts running through my head.
What have I done? And, how the fuck was I going to tell my husband I had kissed a girl?
I chickened out. How could I explain my lust for someone else? Sure, we both point out a beautiful person when we see one- male or female- but I wasn't sure if what I had done would make him feel betrayed.
When my co-worker told me she was having a party, inviting my husband and I, I almost declined. But we talked it over and decided a night out away from the kids was in order.
I was nervous about seeing Morgan outside of the office, even though we had gone out numerous times before and had always had a lot of fun. While our relationship at work had gone back to normal, and we never brought up the kiss, I couldn't help but remember how soft her lips were and how good she smelled, and wondering how her tits would feel in my hands, in my mouth...
On the drive over, my nerves got the best of me.
"I kissed Morgan at work last week." I announced, watching carefully for my husband's reaction.
"Oh, yeah?" He said, shooting me an unreadable glance with raised brows.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I wasn't trying to keep it from you on purpose, I just-" I took a deep breath. "It took me by surprise and I didn't want to upset you."
"Mmmmm." Was all he said.
"Are you mad?"
He looked at me, a smile on his lips. "Only that I wasn't there to see it."
Of anything he could have said, that was what I least expected.
"Seriously? You don't feel like...like I cheated?"
"Did you go in there planning on kissing her?"
"No."
"Have you kissed her sense?"
"No."
"Okay then."
We rode in silence for a while, my mind going a mile a minute. Was he honestly okay with me kissing Morgan? Being honest with myself, I don't think I would take it as well if he were the one kissing someone else.
"Just promise me one thing."
"Anything!"
"Next time it happens- if it does- make sure I'm there, up front and center."
"Um, okay." I wasn't sure how I felt about that, either. Sure, I was relieved that he wasn't mad, but, I wasn't sure I wanted to open that avenue in our relationship. Things tend to get messy when another person gets involved. I was having a hard enough time with the fact that I was attracted to a female. Now, my husband was encouraging it?
The party was fun- a collection of people from all walks of life. Morgan was her usual charming self, making sure everyone was happy and having a good time. Around midnight, I looked around and didn't envy her the clean-up tomorrow. So, I did what any good friend would do and started picking up empty cans, bottles and plastic cups, then moved on to dishes.
My husband was outside, talking to the group of guys that had been out there almost all night.
"Thanks for helping me clean up." Morgan said from behind me.
I smiled, turning toward her voice. "No problem. Parties are fun, but the morning clean-up is always a bitch!"
We laughed and she came close, leaning around me to set a bowl on the counter. I could feel her tits as they pushed against my back, her erect nipples clearly felt through my thin shirt. Luckily, she moved away before I embarrassed myself by telling her I wanted to kiss her again. Or that I wanted her bare tits on my skin. Or that I wondered how her pussy tastes...I shook off my private musings, chastising myself for having the wanton thoughts.
