The first time I met Joan was the day she started work at the bank. I was young then, 22 years old, full of ambition. It was 1998, South Africa was learning to be a democracy, the apartheid era was confined to the history books along with racial segregation. I am a third generation Indian that was born and raised in Johannesburg. I grew up during the apartheid era where non-whites were treated as second class citizens.
When I turned 18, South Africa was liberated from apartheid and I had the opportunity to study at a university. I met my wife at university and we dated for about two years. Both of us being Indian and Muslim, our parents were not happy with the courtship and we were married by the time we were 20. I completed my studies in Information Technology, a field that at the time was new and revolutionary.
The new South Africa was just starting out and trying to correct the imbalances of apartheid. I started work at a bank as a systems administrator, my colleagues were all male, the managers were all white males, the junior staff like myself were a mix of Indian, coloured and black males. Whites fraternizing with people of colour was not yet socially acceptable.
When Joan arrived on the first day, I was drawn to her long shapely sexy legs as she walked up towards my desk behind our manager as he came to introduce her. She had on a short blue skirt that ended just above her knees with a white blouse that in the right light as she walked towards me, was transparent and exposed her white lace bra. Joan was introduced to me and I was told that I would be assisting her on a project that she was brought in for.
Joan was a typical Afrikaans lady, she wore her dark blonde hair short, like Princess Diana and had soft blue eyes. She was beautiful to look at and had a sexy body to go with her looks. We worked together for a few months and got to know each other well during that time. Racial barriers were breaking down in South Africa at the time and soon accompanying Joan to the bar during lunch time was acceptable.
Joan always wore her short skirts and a blouse with matching heels. Her hands were perfectly manicured and her makeup always immaculate. We got to know each other well, she was married with two kids and I was married with one kid at the time. She was in her mid thirties and she could not understand how at 22 I was already married with one child.
As we became closer, we started getting into each others' personal space. Joan would sit right next to me and I would make it a point to brush my leg against hers. She never moved away and it felt that she was brushing back up against my leg when I did that. She would hug me at the end of the day and always made it a point to touch me during conversations. I was still shy at the time and fearful of what others may think of an Indian guy being seen with a beautiful white Afrikaans lady.
It was November of 1998 and the work we were doing resulted in the two of us having to visit one of the bank's branches. Joan had traveled before with the boss of the department to other branches and seminars and everyone in the office including me assumed that the boss and Joan were fucking. I was surprised that she insisted that I go with her on this branch visit, but I was eager to go with to get valuable work experience.
The thought of anything happening between Joan and I beyond chatting and touching never crossed my mind. I did fantasize often about touching and feeling her sexy legs with my fingertips and slipping my hand under her skirt and fingering her, but it was just a fantasy and nothing that I would ever initiate or act on in reality as I was afraid of the consequences.
The drive to the branch was 6 hours and we drove down in Joan's car. Joan asked me to drive and she kicked off her shoes and put her feet up on the dashboard exposing more of her long sexy legs right up to her thighs and I could see the lining of her black lace panty. We chatted all the way, talking about where we grew up, our families, kids, work, music, movies and I would steal a glimpse at her exposed thigh at every opportunity. The thought of running my fingertips up her legs crossed my mind throughout the drive and I would get erect. We stopped twice along the way. Just before we stopped for the second time, I had asked her about her relationship with our boss and the office rumours and she was explaining that she knew the boss wanted to fuck her since the time she worked with him at a previous company and she used that to get this job, but she flirted with him and entertained his advances but had no intention of fucking him. I was rock hard as we pulled into the filling station and she wanted to use the bathroom. I waited for her to get off the car as I knew I would not be able to conceal my erection. I think Joan noticed my erection as she looked down at my pants and gave me a smile as she got off.
We arrived at the hotel around 6PM that evening and checked in to our separate rooms across from each other. We agreed that whoever had freshened up first would knock on the others door and we go for dinner at the hotel restaurant. The first thing I did when I got to my room after I dropped my bags on the bed was go to the bathroom and wank my cock. I had been throbbing from the sight of Joan's legs and thighs, my boxers were messed with precum. I imagined touching Joan's legs, running my fingertips up to her inner thigh, slipping my brown hands under her panty and caressing her white pussy lips. My cock was hard as my hand stroked the shaft and it didn't take long before my thick cum gushed out of the head of my cock.
I took a quick shower hoping to be done before Joan was so I could knock at her door and if I was lucky enough I would maybe catch a glimpse of her in just a towel or in less clothes than what I am accustomed to seeing her in. I dried off and put on a clean boxers and my jeans and as I looked in my bag for a fresh shirt, there was a knock at the door.
I rushed to open the door, not realizing that my jeans was not yet zipped and that I had no top on, my hairy brown chest was exposed. I opened the door and Joan was surprised to see me shirtless...she stood at the door for a while, her eyes fixed on my hairy chest and then glanced down at my unzipped jeans. We both stood silent for a few seconds. I realized that I was shirtless and apologized, and asked her to come in while I finished getting dressed. Joan said nothing, she followed me into the room, the door still open behind her. I got dressed hurriedly and we went down for dinner. Dinner was uneventful, we spoke about work and what we had to do the next day. We walked back to our rooms, Joan hugged me and we said good night and agreed to meet for breakfast at 7:30 the next morning.
The following day was all work, we had breakfast, talked about work, went to the branch and did what we had to do, we finished around 4PM and headed back to the hotel. We met at the bar at 6PM and Joan ordered a Southern Comfort, I being a Muslim guy who did not drink ordered a coke. Joan ordered a second Southern Comfort and it struck me then that she had told me once before when I accompanied her to a bar during lunch time, that when she felt horny she drank Southern Comfort.
