WRITER'S NOTE:
This is a first try at publishing something in this genre. I'm well aware it's far from perfect and I would welcome any constructive criticism. But please be kind about it! It's intended as the start of a series but I might disconnect follow-up stories and make them more standalone projects. If you're sensitive about erotica tropes like cuckold, NTR, etc. this story might not be for you!
Carlyn and George met through a mutual acquaintance, Sam, a little over ten years ago. They started dating, and two years after meeting, moved in with each other. George is a 5ft9 32 year old of average attractiveness. Carlyn is a 5'1'' 29 year old, has blonde hair, her body is very petite and her breasts are small. She has beautiful blue eyes.
Their relationship has always been strong. The love has always been there. The sex, although there was plenty of it in the beginning, comes and goes. Their sexlife is very vanilla to say the least. There is hardly any more foreplay than caressing and kissing and the position is mostly missionary. George gets Carlyn wet and in the mood by fingering her and occasionally by going down on her. But that's it mostly. Boring maybe, but it works for them.
George works an office job and his three-year-old younger partner is an artist. Since that not completely covers the bills, she works part-time at a local fancy restaurant.
Our story starts four years into Carlyn and George's relationship on a cold december night...
Carlyn had received an invitation to her work's Christmas Party on december 23rd. The owner of the restaurant, a wealthy multi-business owner and Carlyn's boss organizes a fancy dinner for his staff each year around Christmas time. As a thank you for a year of very hard work and dedication, he hires a chef from another restaurant to prepare a 6 course meal and he hired a DJ for the party afterwards. Staff dresses up in what you could call gala attire. A welcome change from their usual work outfit. It's not common for staff to bring their significant other to the Christmas party, since it's also a way for staff to bond and build team-spirit.
The day before, Carlyn and George went shopping. Carlyn needed a outfit for the Christmas party since she didn't own that many dresses or other fancy clothes. She isn't one to dress up and usually prefers wearing casual, or more importantly, comfortable clothing. After failing to find something at dozens of stores, George started losing hope.
She always does this,
he thinks.
She never succeeds at finding something she likes
.
"Just one more store, I promise". Carlyn said, knowing very well what George was thinking at that very moment. "I just don't want to show up underdressed, as always".
And thus they continued to another store where Carlyn spend the next 30 minutes browsing. After gathering a large stack of clothes she disappeared into the fitting room. George waited outside to assay whatever outfit she chose to reappear in.
Ten minutes in the curtain of the fitting room opened and what appeared was, to George, the stuff of dreams. His tiny, petite blonde girlfriend showed herself in a stunning yellow leather pencil skirt, in a beautiful tight fit. She wore a simple but attractive black shirt on top that showed off her thin arms and shoulders. Underneath the skirt she finished of her outfit with semi opaque stockings with a diamond pattern. George knew she was going to wear her small black heels underneath it. She looked gorgeous!
"You look amazing honey" he said with a genuine smile. Carlyn knew he was being sincere, the twinkle in his eyes gave it away.
"Thanks babe" she said as she made a spin. "I think this is going to be the one". And it was. George bought her the outfit as a gift, and they left for home. It was almost dinnertime.
***LATER THAT EVENING***
Just after dinner Carlyn and George had curled up on the couch as they often do. They watched their favorite tv-show and had a beer together. It was the holidays after all. Both of them were occasional drinkers. They'd have a glass of wine whenever they went out for dinner, had drinks with friends in the local Irish Pub a couple about once a month (George more often than Carlyn though), or very sparsely opened a beer together at home. The college days of drinking and partying (which they both had done extensively) were behind them.
After a second beer, George had built up the courage to bring up something that had bothered him for a few days now.
"Is he going to be there as well tomorrow?" he asked. Carlyn knew full well who George meant by 'him'. George had more than once been going on about how Sven, Carlyn's coworker, had been hitting on her in George's presence whenever he had the chance. Carlyn disagreed strongly. Sven had just always been a friendly guy, a little flirty maybe. But nothing unseemly in the slightest.
"Yes of course he is. But just stop worrying babe, you're seeing ghosts." Carlyn replied plain and sincere. "Even if he tried hitting on me, you know I love you".
"I just don't like the guy. And I trust him even less." George said about the tall, objectively handsome coworker that had absolutely been flirting with his girlfriend.
Even if she in her innocence doesn't see it, I know he is
. He thought.
Carlyn knew better than to respond. George could be like this sometimes. A little insecure. It was a part of who he was and most times it was something she liked about him. It made him vulnerable and real. And even though she sometimes wished he was a little more confident, this is just the man he is and she loved him for it.
