Alex had not mentioned, let alone warned, Wendy about the stockroom when she started work in the shop. There was, after all, no need to go into it, not now the company insisted all stock was placed on display. There was a staffroom in any case, with 'Staffroom' clearly marked on the door, there was even a store with 'Store' also clearly marked on its door, in neat black Arial script, which was where a few items were kept. The store was not a large room but, even so, big enough for what needed to be put there and with a window to let light in, albeit securely barred against a break in. There was no need to go through the door marked 'Stockroom,' also marked in Arial script: although. Oddly and intriguingly, in red: no need to enter at all. But Wendy was naturally curious just as she was naturally black. Alex should have warned her, but Alex had not.
It is funny how things play on your mind. Increasingly Wendy found herself wondering about that stockroom. It was irrational. There was no need even to think about it. It was not as if she passed it to get to the staff room, the W.C. or even on the rare occasions she needed to get something from the store. The door was further back and down a bit of a corridor, a corridor with no window, the corridor walls painted white and just with that door labelled 'Stockroom' at its end in red. Actually, it was not even at its end as the door was on the left. The end wall was a blank.
It was a few days into the new job before Wendy had even walked down the corridor just to see what the sign on the door said. She had tried the door but it was locked and there was no key in the keyhole. Wendy had shrugged her shoulders and got on with her work. A locked room was of no interest really... not that day.
It was when she found herself repeatedly trying the door that she realised her interest had been piqued. It had been almost subconscious. She asked Miranda about it.
"Oh, Alex says we don't need to go in there. We don't use that."
Miranda seemed completely uninterested in a locked room. It was so much lower on her scale of important things compared to her nails. It was different for Wendy.
It worried her that she found herself wondering about it on the bus and even when going off to sleep at night. Once she found herself waking up in the middle of the night and knew she had been dreaming about what lay beyond the door. Not that she could remember what she had been dreaming about at all, which was a pity considering just how wet she found herself between her legs. She had lain there in her bed blinking in the aftermath of one monumental orgasm. A dream orgasm indeed. That did not lessen her curiosity. What had she been dreaming about?
Finding a key in the lock was a surprise. She saw it from the end of the corridor. It puzzled her. Alex had not been in. Wendy had opened the shop that morning and been closely followed in by Miranda. Alex had not come in that day. Was the key left from the day before? But she did not think it had been there the day before. Certainly, she did not remember seeing it.
It was only meant to be a peek. Wendy knew Miranda was in the shop and could serve customers, it would not hurt if she took just a little look. The key turned, her hand was quickly on the handle, turning it and the door opened. The sight that greeted her was not of a dusty empty room with empty shelves but instead simply a flight of stairs leading downwards. The stockroom seemed to be down in a basement or cellar. Wendy had not realised the shop even had an underground part but there before her were, most definitely, stairs: wooden stairs leading down and a light switch. Wendy clicked the light switch and began her descent. It was exactly 10.15 am because she had looked at her watch knowing she could not be long away from the shop.
It was exactly 10.15 am when she found herself hurrying back up those stairs and standing panting at the top, slamming the door shut and locking it. But locking it against what?
Her chest was heaving, her faced flushed and her breathing rapid. Never, never had she felt quite like that before - except, perhaps, that middle of the night waking. No, it was not fright, not terror, but raw unadulterated sexual excitement. Her knickers were soaked, she could feel that, her nipples as hard as hazelnuts, and as for her clit - it felt on fire.
Wendy shot into the WC and locked the door. It was sometime later she exited. It had not been easy re-establishing either composure or a semblance of order about her body. It had been easiest simply to remove the sodden panties and leave herself naked and still not a little damp under her skirt. Her sex swollen, lubricated and most definitely ready for copulation remained like that the whole morning!
The day passed with some difficulty. It was not that Miranda asked questions or perhaps even noticed the change in Wendy. Wendy had not been absent that long, but her mind was in such a turmoil. Wendy simply had no idea at all how she had got in such a state, how she had found herself walking up rather than down the stairs to the stockroom and how, when no time at all had passed, she had become so sexually aroused - and why?
Things to ponder on the bus home. Things to ponder in the shower and later in bed. Things to ponder as she stood looking at herself in the mirror the next morning. The reflection in the mirror of a naked young woman. Her really black skin shining from both the shower and the coconut butter she used to keep her skin smooth and supple. In the mirror, what she liked to think of as a quite pretty face, with wide flattish nose, strong and ample lips and hazel eyes, looked back at her. Below were her wide, sensible, child bearing hips and her carefully trimmed dark, tightly curled 'bush' and, above that, her neat, rounded tummy and generous and womanly breasts with their coal black nipples. She thought herself attractive to men. Would, indeed, have liked to have seen a tall man next to her in the mirror with his hand fondly around her shoulder looking at her with love in his eyes. She smiled to herself. She would like to have seen his penis rise in a 'fond' manner as well. How nice that morning, if she had had the time, to fall back into bed and cuddle and copulate with the tall, handsome man. How so nice. She wished she had a nice young man.
It was almost a relief to see the key not in the lock that and the day after. Not that Wendy had any intention of repeating the experience. It had been unnerving and to be avoided: though, it had been quite something to feel so sexually charged. She had not really known she had that in her.
Just as the locked door had kept slipping into her mind at unexpected times and places so did the remembrance of the feeling at the top of the stairs. It did not help to wake in the middle of the night, once again, and feel quite so... womanly. That time her fingers had finished the business - and done it very well.
