When I arrived at work I headed straight for my office and spent the next three hours thinking about my wife, about what she might be getting up to in a few short hours. Every so often I would find myself with an erection, and had to resist the urge to pull it out and masturbate right there and then.
Every so often I would look out the window onto the Sales floor, idly waiting for the party to start so I could get Steve to tell me what had really happened with Sally. At one point in the morning I even considered calling him into my office to ask him straight out. I was desperate to lay my mind at rest, whatever the outcome, but somehow I managed to stop myself. After all discussing something of that nature is of course permissible at a social occasion, but unlikely to be something you want to talk about with your boss in his office during working hours. He had no idea that Sally was my wife, and Iâm sure it would have looked strange if I had expressed too obvious an interest.
The party was scheduled to start at 3pm, but I couldnât wait any longer. I walked out into the main office and told everyone to stop working and start drinking. A small cheer rang out as I opened up a bottle of champagne, the cork hitting the ceiling with a loud pop. Jim rushed over with two glasses, and when they were filled he gave one each to Mina and Kelly, who were the only ladies present. Jim isnât normally the gentlemanly type, so I can only presume he planned to get them as drunk as possible, in the hope that they might get a little raunchy.
Mina was wearing her usual short skirt and tight sweater combination. All the guys in the office fancied her like mad and were constantly chatting her up and getting nowhere. Kelly was a different story. Not that the guys ever got anywhere with her, simply that they never bothered chatting her up. She always wore loose fitting dresses, and though her figure was very shapely, it was hard to tell unless you looked closely. She was attractive but also very innocent, and any flirtatious comments men made to her seemed to go right over her head.
There were seven of us in all in my department, and I opened another bottle of champagne, so that each of us could have a glass. When both bottles were empty, the guys began to drink beer, while the girls had some white wine. I kept as close to Steve as I could, encouraging him to drink more and more, in the hope that it would loosen his tongue when I got the chance to speak to him privately. Unfortunately, every time I attempted to broach the subject, Jim would suddenly interject with some stupid joke or other, and Steve would laugh and lose track of what I was saying.
I noticed that Tony and Alan had both been trying to steer the two girls towards the mistletoe that they had put up by the door this morning. They didnât have the courage to actually ask for a kiss, so they were hoping to snatch one from them, with the mistletoe as excuse. Both girls seemed to be well aware of their ploy however and stayed clear of the door. The two men looked disappointed but things livened up a little when a radio was turned on.
Mina started to sway her hips and sing along, and it wasnât long before Steve was dancing with her. After a bit of persuasion Jim had Kelly in his arms on the impromptu dance floor as well. I watched as they lightly groped the girls. I would have expected more resistance from Mina and Kelly, but they didnât make much of an attempt to stop the wandering hands. Even more surprisingly, when Tony and Alan stepped in, the girls allowed them to do the same thing. There was nothing too raunchy, just a gentle fondling of their behinds and the occasional brush of the hand against their breasts. At about four oâclock the music stopped and the news came on, bringing an abrupt end to the dancing. Both the girls drew back into a corner, giggling to themselves.
When the music started again they refused to dance anymore, but werenât averse to the men chatting them up and flirting outrageously with them. I tried as best I could to join in with the revelry, but I found it incredibly difficult to concentrate. All my thoughts were on my wife and whether her own office party had started yet. Would she be behaving like the girls here? When I couldnât stand it any longer I walked into my private office and closed the door behind me. I picked up my telephone and dialled Sallyâs mobile number. I didnât want to appear to be checking up on her, but I needed to know what was happening.
âHi,â I said as breezily as I could. âHowâs the party?â
âHold on a minute,â she said. For a few moments all I could hear was a general hubbub of laughter and conversation. âWell, Iâd like to be able to tell you different, but itâs not very exciting. Weâre stuck in some pub, drinking as much as possible before we all die of boredom.â
âSounds like some people are having a laugh anyway.â
âOh yeah. But thatâs not my group. I moved next to another table. Do you think Iâd be saying how boring they are while I was with them? Actually, I might well do that after a few more drinks. You know, it was fun teasing you like that this morning, but I tell you, this must be my revenge.â
I could tell from her voice that sheâd already had a few. I also knew she was telling the truth. She sounded very bored, something she rarely is when sheâs having a drink. These people she worked with must have been seriously dull for her not to be able to liven them up.
âSo youâre not going to stay long then?â I asked.
âProbably not. How about you?â
âOh, I donât know. Iâm not really in the party mood to be honest.â
We talked on for a few minutes more, and then agreed that I would call her when I found out what time Iâd be leaving my office. When I put the phone down I found to my surprise that rather than feeling relieved that nothing was happening at her party, I was disappointed. While I was coming to terms with the fact that I probably enjoyed my wife being a slut, wanted her to be that way even, I still needed to know whether she had ever really fucked another man during our marriage. I sat down and pondered the best way to broach Steve about what had happened at Oakleys.
Suddenly I heard a commotion from the sales office. A small window, high up above the larger one that looked out onto the Sales floor, was open, and allowed me to hear everything that was being said. I looked out to see Mina slapping Jim in the face. Moments later she had her coat on and strode out of the office, swiftly followed by Kelly. The rest of the guys were all laughing at Jim, who held out his hands as if to say, âWhat did I do?â
âWell done Jim,â said Alan. âShit, I was on a sure thing with Kelly. Whyâd you have to do that?â
âSure thing? The only sure thing youâve ever had is your right hand, mate.â
âShe was up for it, Iâm telling you. God, Iâm feeling horny as a toad and you go and get rid of the only girls at the party.â
âYeah, well. I thought Mina was up for it as well. I guess I was wrong though,â Jim laughed.
âShit, I thought so too,â said Tony. âOh bollocks. Do you think itâs worth staying around?â
âOnly for the free booze,â replied Jim. âHell, we may as well finish that off, then we can go down to the strippers bar down the corner.â
âGood idea,â Steve chimed in. âNaked ladies. Thatâs what Christmas parties are all about.â
âWell. Weâve still got a crate of beer to get through. Letâs get on with it,â Alan said cracking open another bottle.
I didnât know what had happened out there to make the two girls run off, but I guessed that Jim had gone a little too far with Mina. The guys were obviously all in the mood for a bit of fun, and were very disappointed to be left without any female company. I was just about to leave my office and join them to ask what had happened, when I heard Steve ask the others where I was.
âI donât know,â Alan answered. âI havenât seen him since we started dancing. Do you think he sneaked out and went home?â
The others didnât know where I was either, and I saw Jim step up towards my office door. Before he could reach it I swiftly and silently turned the lock so he couldnât get in. I had suddenly come up with an idea, a plan to find out more about Sallyâs cheating ways, and to pull it off I would need them all to think I wasnât in the office.
âWell the doorâs locked,â Jim said, turning back to the others. âHe must have buggered off.â
I quickly picked up my phone and called Sallyâs mobile again, hoping she hadnât lied to me, and that she really was bored out of her mind. When she answered, I asked her if she fancied us meeting for a drink, just the two of us. I told her that I wasnât really enjoying myself, and if she wasnât either, we may as well both do something else together. I kept my voice as low as possible so that none of the men in the Sales office could hear that I was still around.
âYeah, sure,â Sally replied brightly. Her voice was still a little slurred, but now she seemed in much higher spirits.
âAre you sure you donât want to stay?â I asked.
âNo. Thereâs only me and three other girls left anyway. All the guys are off playing pool in the bar next door. Where shall we meet?â
âUm, let me think,â I stalled her for a moment. This was going to be the tricky part. âListen, do you mind meeting me here, at my office? It wouldnât look good me leaving the party early, as Iâm the boss. But if you come around and pick me up they wonât say anything. Is that all right?â
âI suppose so. Okay then. I know the building, but what floor are you on?â
âItâs the fourth floor. How long will you be?â
âOh, probably half an hour or so. Iâll have to say my goodbyes and stuff.â
âOkay, honey. Iâll see you soon.â
As soon as she hung up I quickly dialled the number of Alanâs phone in the Sales office. I looked out of the window to watch him as he picked up the receiver.
âAlan? Itâs Tom. You arenât planning on leaving soon are you? Listen, Iâm at Mr Johalâs. He called up earlier asking for a meet. He wants to finalise a sale, but he wonât wait until after Christmas, so I had to go over there. I slipped out and got a cab here while you were all dancing. I thought it would only take a few minutes, but itâs taking longer than expected. You know what heâs like. Anyway, the thing is, my wifeâs coming over there to pick me up at about five, and I might be a little late. If she gets there before me can you ask her to wait for me? I shouldnât be too long.â
Alan readily agreed to do as I asked, then put the phone down and told the others where I was.
âSo his wifeâs coming over is she?â Tony leered. âHas anyone met her? Whatâs she like? Nice tits I hope.â
Of course Jim and Steve had already met her previously, but they didnât know that. Yet. All four of them began speculating on her physical attributes, and Jim said that perhaps they might get some use out of the mistletoe after all.
For the next twenty minutes I sat on my desk, nervously drumming my fingers against a notepad, as I waited in anticipation for my wife to arrive. As I waited I listened to the lads outside exchange dirty jokes and stories, as they guzzled more beer down their necks.
When I heard a faint knocking at the outer door I almost jumped out of my skin. This was it. I watched Alan go over to let her in and seconds later I heard her voice.
âHi. Is Tom around? Iâm his wifeâŠâ
