The following story is true. It details the affair that developed between myself and a coworker named Dana, who broke the cherry of her marriage with me one snowy night in the mid 1990's.
Dana and I worked together at opposite ends of a laboratory, doing opposite jobs. As a programmer I was often required to interact with the lab techs using the software, and Dana was one of those fun people it was easy to hit it off with. She looked nerdy-cute in her labcoat and glasses, with shoulder-length dark hair and some very nice, bouncy breasts. Despite the fact that she was married we were soon talking and flirting on a daily basis.
Dana was one of those rare women who could be brutally honest about everything. She always spoke her mind and talking openly about her marriage, her sex life, and anything else that popped into her head. She asked a lot about my own situation, and maybe because I was single she lived a little vicariously through me. There were always questions about who I was with, how it was going, and she playfully chided me whenever I was juggling more than one girl at a time.
Through the company email system, our talks got a lot more intimate. We talked about our likes, our dislikes, and our sexual experiences. Dana was bored with her marriage, but she'd remained loyal. She entertained me with wild tales of the things she did before she met her husband. In turn, I told her stories involving the things I was doing with some of the girls I was seeing at the time.
"Ever fuck a co-worker?" she asked one day, through email.
"Sure", I wrote back, thinking the conversation was taking an extremely interesting turn. "But not here. At my previous job, a few people though."
"Why not here?" she pressed.
"Well for one I've been here only a few months", I replied. "And really, there's not much in the way of candidates."
Immediately after sending that last message I regretted it. If she was somehow reaching out to me, I'd just accidentally slapped her hand away. How stupid could I be?
"Too bad you're off the market", I wrote back quickly, after not getting an immediate answer. "Girls like you are more my type."
It was a while before she responded, but when she did it was simple and innocent. "Yup. Married." It didn't leave much room for interpretation.
A few weeks went by, and our conversations backed off a little. We still made small talk, but things weren't as spicy. I was afraid I'd offended Dana, or maybe scared her off a bit. As much as I'd enjoyed flirting and talking sex with her, I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.
