She was quite a good looking woman in her late thirties though she looked much younger. She had been married, it seemed, for ever and had a twelve year old son and a husband to whom she had been absolutely faithful for twenty years. Emma had worked her way up with the same employers for most of her working life and was now PA to one of the directors. She was a level-head, fair minded woman and popular amongst the men even though she was never really flirty with them.
Her low-key attraction to the opposite sex, which she never even seemed aware of, made her a bit less popular with the other women in the office. Although all the girls got on well enough there seemed to be a bit of jealousy that no matter how much they flirted , no matter how coyly suggestive they might be, Emma seemed to get all the attention from the men though she hardly seemed aware of it.
What seemed to annoy the girls and intrigue the men was that that she was very mysterious in her ways. It wasn't that she had dark secrets or a notorious past, it was just her way. Where many men and women would boast about their conquests, it was Emma's quiet, enigmatic reserve that somehow implied a deep and secret eroticism. She was quite a private person and while she was absolutely open about anything and everything to do with work, her private life was her own and few people in the office knew much about her, except that she seemed to have some money of her own and that her interests were quite highbrow, though no-one would call her a snob. In fact one of the attractions of Emma was that she treated everyone with the same friendliness, from the cleaners to the directors.
Though she almost seemed unaware of it Emma had the most fantastic figure that had hardly changed from her teenage years. Even at the age of thirty-eight she still had a good complexion, long, slender smooth legs, a shapely bum and the most fantastic breasts... In fact they were absolutely stunning. 32F, full and firm with nipples that seemed permanently erect. Childbearing had given her belly a bit of a bump that she had never been able to quite get rid of but it just seemed to enhance her fabulous hour-glass figure. Strangely enough, she never seemed aware of just how superb her breasts were and was in fact, if anything, a little embarrassed by them. For one thing, they made buying clothes difficult.
Her tits, however, had been what first attracted her husband to her when they first met in London where she was a student in 1972. At that time she was going out in a desultory kind of way with his best friend but within a couple of days and after a few frantic phone calls, she found herself alone with him on a Wednesday evening in early autumn in a pub on the Euston Road. At the end of the evening he had his hand under her tight, pale blue jumper fondling her left breast as they kissed goodbye, and that Saturday he fucked her for the first time in the corner of a wheat field near his parents house in Kent.
They were married next Spring and to begin with sex was OK but nothing to write home about. Despite her all too obvious assets Emma's rather too strict country upbringing had made her a bit diffident and three years in London had loosened her up only a little. Besides, they were both working too hard to think much about it. Her career and his business came first and they always seemed too tired to make much effort. Eight years later they had their first and only child and things went downhill from there. She was always tired from trying to juggle a career and a young child and he was increasingly busy with a business that he was struggling to keep afloat. They had a few close friends but hardly ever went out and rarely seemed able to relax. James seemed to spend more and more time at the works, often not coming home until ten or eleven at night.
Bob Foden, their oldest friend, was a civil servant, slightly older than Emma and James, and it was well known that he had long been involved in a half-hearted affair with a much younger girl in his office. His wife Annie probably guessed what was happening but chose not to believe her worst fears. A manipulative man, Bob thought he could distract attention from his own rather sordid little affair by spreading malicious and completely unfounded rumours about his friends non-existent extra-marital behaviour. Slowly he put the idea into Emma's head that James's long evening absences were due not so much to pressure of work as to the effort he was putting into Nicole Bundy, the young, attractive but totally vacuous, empty-headed lab assistant at the factory. It was well known at the works that Nicole was a bit of a slut and had a crush on James, but it was never reciprocated - he didn't fancy her in the least and Nicole wasn't too worried; give or take an inch one man was much the same as the next to her.
At home on her own, though, Bob's insinuation had taken root in Emma's mind and over the next few weeks doubts about James's faithfulness turned to anger.
Under normal circumstances there would have been no way that Emma would have discussed her fears with anyone but, as luck would have it, a few days earlier a temp, Christine, had arrived in Emma's office and one way or another, despite the fact that Christine was more than ten years younger than Emma, they seemed to hit it off. Over coffee in the executive restaurant Emma confided in Christine, who had recently had problems of her own. Her husband had had numerous affairs and she was in the midst of very messy divorce proceedings.
Christine was a very nice looking, gregarious girl who in her youth had pretty freely put herself about around the clubs in Bristol, and, still only twenty-seven years old, she found it quite easy to slip back into her old ways. To get her own back on her husband she was once again out most nights in the local clubs and bars looking for one night stands and making no secret of it. She had never found any difficulty picking up men and suggested to Emma that she too should go and pick up some guy to fuck, just to get even with James. Christine said she could make a few phone calls and arrange a double date for them with a couple of blokes at the Studebaker club in town for the following Saturday.
At first it seemed a ridiculous idea – just not the sort of thing Emma would ever even dream of doing - and she simply treated it as a joke. But over the next few days her resentment against James continued to grow and so it was that at just after eight o'clock the following Saturday evening Christine and Emma got a taxi in to town while James was forced to stay at home looking after the child. Emma told James where she was going but not why. She just said that Christine had invited her out for a drink and she was going out to relax, something she had not had the opportunity to do with him for years. She said nothing else but she hoped he would get the picture, and that it would hurt him. Though angry, Emma's mind was torn: she was pretty sure that James had been fucking Nicole at work but only had Bob's word on that, and deep down she knew that Bob was trouble. She almost chickened out at the last moment and as a sort of compromise with herself she kissed James goodbye and promised him she would be home a little after midnight.
"It's OK," she told herself, "I'll just meet this guy that Chrissy has set me up with, have a few drinks, perhaps a dance and a bit of a laugh, then we'll get a taxi home. If James has been playing around then I'll just let him imagine the worst, but if he hasn't then perhaps one day I'll confess that nothing happened when I went out with Christine."
Emma had dressed for the part. Across her breasts she wore a very low neck blue-grey and black crossover top held together with a tie around the waist, and as she moved, her fabulous breasts wobbled gently in the confines of the black, lace-edged bra that showed slightly above the edges of her top. A large turquoise stone on a heavy silver chain nestled in here cleavage. As she got out of the taxi, rather frightened as to what might happened to her later that evening, she breathed deeply and involuntarily. As she did so her breasts rose and fell sharply, bulging from the constriction of her bra and forcing her erect nipples into the thin material of her top.
Her skirt was also a sort of cross-over design, short but not too short, five inches above her knees, plain black and tight with a zip in the back and three large but inconspicuous buttons up the side.
On the few occasions that they had gone out together James had asked that she wore stockings rather than tights, though she always wore tights to work. James had said that when they fucked on the sofa her stocking tops, the suspender straps and the lacy bottom edge of the basque she sometimes wore formed a sort of frame around the mound of her cunt. He liked the coolness of her naked thighs above her stockings brushing against his cheeks as he flicked her clitoris with his tongue or licked the lips of her cunt while rhythmically stroking two fingers deep inside her.
