CHAPTER 6: THE DIFFERENCE
"Hey, Joni!," Roger called out. Hearing the door open and my heels clicking on the floor tiles, he stood to greet me. I smiled back at his beaming face. As I got ready for work that morning the thought crossed my mind if we all might feel some difference after the Friday celebration. As I approached my desk near his, he came out of his cubicle. I dropped my purse on the desk and turned into him. His arms were around my waist and my hands held his face as we mutually gave into a very familiar deep kiss. My arms circled his neck and his hands dipped down over my butt, pulled the micro skirt up to cup my ass cheeks. No panties or thong, of course. Office rules. We broke the kiss but he held onto my ass under the skirt. "The boss wants to see you. First thing, he said."
"Hmmm," I teased, "am I in trouble?"
He laughed. "I don't think you're capable of disappointing him ... or us," he replied.
I rubbed my hips into him. I felt his cock large and firm if not completely hard. I parted from him and patted his crotch. "It might be," I smiled, "that assessment is biased at the moment."
He shook his head and patted my ass through my skirt that had fallen back into place, not that it covered much even then. "Around you, Joni, that's just our normal condition."
Knocking on his open door, "Morning ... you wanted me?" I greeted and asked.
He looked up, his eyes instantly taking in my body. I had chosen a pleated, plaid, 'school-girl' micro-skirt, a semi-transparent sleeveless blouse completely unbuttoned and tied below my breasts to expose my abdomen, thigh high stockings the skirt didn't cover, and 4-inch heels I felt I needed around these men.
"Want you?" he repeated. "Yes," he smiled, "and after this weekend, I want you even more. I also want to talk with you." I started moving to one of the visitor chairs when he stopped me. "Would you do me a favor?" Of course, I said. "Would you take off the blouse and skirt?" I had just spent the weekend with him naked. I am frequently exposed in the office. But this was new. It had happened during my initial interview but that had been a test. Since then I had been exposed mainly by the clothes I wore.
I quickly stripped to stockings and heels. I sat in the chair with legs crossed and arms resting casually on the chair arm rests so as not to block any view. His eyes roamed over my body and I waited until his eyes found mine. He smiled at me, "I was hoping for that reaction," he said. That confused me but I saw his eyes again drop to my breasts. I looked down to find my nipples hard. "You spent the weekend naked with me. You are frequently seen fucking, your breast exposed by your top, or you pussy and ass exposed under your skirts. Yet, sitting here naked ... there is a difference." I looked down. My nipples became harder. I opened and crossed my legs. I could feel how much my pussy had lubricated. "Yes, there is a difference but ... I was curious. All weekend I couldn't get enough of seeing your body. I wondered what it would be like to have you naked in the office all the time. We could, after all, put a lock on the door. But, no, I think there is something very enticing, teasing, about the way you dress. Then, completely naked is different."
I smiled, "Whatever you want, Jason."
He smile in turn. "Okay, but never forget ... what we want ... you must be fully agreeable." I nodded my understanding. "Good," he continued. "This," he indicated with a swipe of his hand at my nudity, "was just to reinforce what we are doing. Whatever we do personally, privately, shouldn't conflict with your role here in the office."
I glanced over my shoulder at the open door. "That can't entirely eliminate internal conflict." He looked at me with question. "Like if I see you walk past while I am fucking one of the guys and I wish it was you." He smiled. "But, you know how I feel about those four."
"Those four," he said clearly seeking some clarification.
"Your partners, too, of course," I clarified. "They are part of the office. They are different, though." He nodded with understanding.
There was a knock on the open door. "Boss, we have that call in 10 minutes." I recognized Roger's voice. It must be some property purchase or permitting issue.
I stood, gathered up my skirt and blouse, "I'll get out of your way." I glanced at Roger who was taking in my naked body, then turned back to Jason. "I appreciate your insights ... BOSS." He chuckled and shook his head.
Clutching my clothes at my waist so I didn't look like I was hiding my breasts, I stopped at Roger and leaned in for a kiss. I'm never disappointed. He also cupped a breast. Never disappointed.

"Joni Mathers?" I had just arrived in my apartment when my phone chimed. What the heck, I wondered? The screen said, 'JASON'. "I hope you remember our meeting each other." What is he doing? Okay, I'll play along. "Good," he continued after my playful confirmation, "I was wondering if you would be agreeable to dinner with me?" I played along with him while expecting him to break into laughing at any moment. He didn't, though, and we settled on Wednesday night. He would pick me up at 6:30. The restaurant he mentioned was very nice. I had never been there but heard about it. My office wardrobe would definitely not be appropriate.
I stood numb looking at the phone screen after the call ended. Jason just asked me out on a date.
Wednesday night, three minutes before the appointed time, there was a knock on my apartment door. I had been fidgeting near the door as if this was a prom date with THE popular guy. I opened the door after a moment of hesitation so he might not know I was right there. His eyes and expression told me everything I needed to know. I was wearing what would be called 'a little black dress'. It was little but not micro like I wear to work. The hem was mid-thigh, it was backless and halter style with supportive bodice. I skipped the stocking for effect but included the 4-inch heels, of course. As I passed him through the door, he gave me a kiss on the cheek with a guiding hand on my lower back right where my bare skin met the dress. Damn.
The restaurant was the best ever. Or, maybe it was the company. The food and service were excellent. Our conversation was relaxed and easy. The game continued. There was no talk or mention of work or the office or the weekend that was seared in my mind. There was no reference to Chicago or Farnum. All the talk about ourselves included history and experience but devoid of those reference points. He was a great story-teller and regaled me with tales from football and mishaps in getting his business started after football. He pulled from me talk about my upbringing in rural Illinois and a lackluster experience in college softball. He talked about southern Florida like he was selling me. I had the sense he was in a way but selling me on things he wanted to experience with me.
It was a real date and we were learning about each other. But as he drove me back to my apartment, my mind shifted from the pretending to what was familiar. He parked and walked me to my apartment. I wasn't sure just how far he was intent on playing this first date game but I knew what I intended.
"I would like you to come in," I said, my excitement causing the words to come out just a bit shaky. I stood in the open door facing him. He smiled and I could see he saw my willingness to play the game just a bit longer but not too much longer. I nodded. We both knew. We were both ready.
I took his suit jacket. He was dressed in a white dress shirt open at the neck. No tie. Southern Florida. I moved to the little kitchen and handed him a bottle of wine to open. We stood sipping the wine by the floor-to-ceiling sliding door at the small balcony. The view was away from the ocean but at night was a mass of twinkling light of Miami.
I finally handed him my half-filled glass of wine. "I can't pretend any longer." I reached behind my back to the short 6-inch zipper at my waist. I shimmied out of the dress and I stood before him in black lace thong and heels.
"A thong," he commented.
"Not the office," I replied, "or relevant to work." I reached for my glass in his hand but also for his glass. "Would you like to do the honors?"
He smiled but didn't respond or react except to allow me to take his glass. We were ourselves, again. He went to one knee and slipped the thong down my legs. I placed the heel of a hand on his shoulder as I stepped out of the wispy garment. He held it as he stood. "It is soaked, Ms. Mathers," he observed looking me in the eyes. Despite the playful use of 'Ms. Mathers', the look in his eyes was past playing any game. The look was desire.
I nodded. I was still holding both glasses and was standing naked before him. He was fully dressed. When has this happened before? "They've been wet since you knocked on that door," I confessed. "I need you, Jason. The date was wonderful and I hope we do it, again. It was a huge success, I think. We learned more about each other and I loved that. But now ... I need you."
He smiled. A lusting, eager smile. While I held both glasses of wine, I watched with my own appraising gaze as he stripped out of this clothes. In no time I was enjoying and desiring the tall hard bodied man with a big black cock hanging between his legs. The man before me wanted to explore a crazy relationship with me, a relationship that would be personal but very likely still involve me sexually with other men. The man before me, the man with a body of slabs of muscle on his chest, tight and hard waist, and thick thigh and arm muscles, was also the man who made me feel safe and secure and valued.
