"I'm really sorry to dump this on you on such short notice, Keith, but I don't have any choice," Jack Barrington said.
Keith Dalton could see his plans for that night dissolving into thin air as he skimmed over the file his boss had just laid on his desk. Today was his anniversary, and he and his wife, Susie, had planned to go out for dinner that evening, then head home for some much-needed sex. He had just completed an important project earlier in the week, and was hoping the pace at his office would slack up for a day or two so he and Susie could enjoy some quality time together.
But now it looked like he'd be stuck in the office way into the night on another bid proposal that HAD to be in the hands of the prospective client by 9 a.m. the next day. It had been a project that another manager had been working on, but that person had been in a bad car wreck the night before and was going to be out indefinitely.
So Keith was going to have to spend the day getting up to speed on the proposal, then he was going to have to work overtime to get the thing done before the next morning. And judging by what Keith had seen as he skimmed the file, he could tell that his colleague had been behind, which was why the man had been working late the night before trying to catch up to make the deadline, and, thus, why he'd dozed off while driving home, causing the wreck that had put him in the hospital.
"I know I don't have to tell you how important this contract is to the company," Jack continued. "You're the best man I've got, and I didn't want to trust this to anyone but my best."
"Well, Susie's gonna be pissed," Keith said with a sigh, explaining to his boss about their plans.
"Oh, man, I really am sorry," Jack said, a genuine look of concern on his face. "If there was any other way... Look, I'll make it up to you. Get this done on time, and there'll be a nice fat bonus in it for you."
"I'm going to hold you to that, boss man," Keith said. "OK, I'll take care of it."
"Thanks, I know I can count on you," Jack said as he left Keith's office.
That's the price I pay for being good at my job, Keith mused. Jack was right, though. If the company had any hopes of getting the bid to the buyer on time, he was the only one who could do it. Jack could be a tough boss at times, but he was fair and compassionate, especially about his managers' family situations. If there had been any other option that could have left Keith free to keep his date with his wife, he would have found it.
But Keith was the best planner the company had, an executive who could get things done in a hurry, who could resolve any crisis, and who could do in the most cost and time-efficient way possible. And Keith was paid very well for what he did.
Well, I guess I'd better get started, Keith thought with a grimace.
As expected, his wife was not happy in the least when he reached her at home later that afternoon, after she'd returned from her job as a librarian for a local high school
"Why is it that you're the only one who can clean up everyone else's mess?" Susie asked with a touch of bitterness.
This had happened too many times in the 20 years Keith had been with this company. The Daltons had been married now 22 years, and like all couples, they had had their ups and downs. But lately things had been on the upswing. The younger of their two children had left home for college earlier that fall, leaving them with more freedom to be a little more uninhibited than they had been when the kids and their friends were under foot.
But the past few weeks had been stressful for Keith as his big project reached the final stages, and they hadn't had much time for intimacy. She'd so been looking forward to a nice evening out with her husband, then getting a nice, long fucking.
Susie moped around the house for a bit, grousing about having to spend her anniversary at home alone. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, and she made a snap decision. She strode purposefully up the stairs to their bedroom and began to gather some things from her closet and dresser drawer. When she had what she needed laid out on the bed, she headed for the bathroom and began to fill the tub. She was grimly determined that she was going to get what she needed that night, even if she had to go out and get it herself.
Keith had plunged himself into his work, stopping only to eat a quick dinner at his desk of Chinese carry-out that he'd had his secretary bring in for him. She had stayed to help him until around 7 p.m., before he sent her home with his heartfelt thanks. It was almost 9:30 now, and he could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The sound of the elevator bell ringing at his floor didn't immediately register with Keith, he was so wrapped up in his work. When it did, followed immediately by the sound of sharp footsteps coming down the hall toward his office, he was profoundly puzzled. Who could that be? It didn't sound like the janitorial staff. They typically didn't make it to his floor until after midnight, a fact he knew from pulling a few all-nighters on previous projects.
Suddenly the door to his office opened, and he was greeted by a stunning sight. It was Susie Dalton, and she was exquisitely made up, her dark, shoulder-length hair was piled atop her head and her slender 5-foot, 10-inch frame was covered by a heavy raincoat.
"You need to take a break, big boy," Susie said, as she dropped her purse onto the sofa that sat against one wall of Keith's office. She untied the sash of the coat, pulled it off and let it drop to the floor. Keith just stared speechless at the sight of his wife's nearly-naked body, clad only in stockings, a garter belt and her high heels.
"Uh, yeah, I guess I do," Keith stammered. Susie strutted seductively around Keith's desk, reaching up to unfasten the clasp that held her hair up. She shook her head gently to let the long brunette mane flow over her shoulders, turned his chair slightly, so that she hovered over him, leaned down and offered him her mouth.
They kissed softly at first, but as their lips and tongues played together, and as Keith ran his hands softly up and down Susie's body, their passion began to build. Keith filled his hands with his wife's delectible A-cup breasts, and rolled the stiff brown nipples between his fingers.
"Happy anniversary, my love," Susie said, when they broke their embrace. "You sounded so dejected when you called, and after I got over my disappointment, I knew it wasn't your fault. So I figured you'd need a little pick-me-up right about now. So here I am."
Keith just laughed as he stood up and gathered Susie in his arms. He could feel his cock growing in his pants, and he could already feel the tension of the day melting away from the tender kisses from his wife. This was one of many reasons why he loved this woman, the fact that she'd had the audacity to come down to his office, with only a raincoat covering her nakedness, to give him what he badly needed, what they both badly needed.
If anyone could have seen them right then, they would have seen a handsome couple indeed. Keith was a well-built 6-1, with brown hair, now liberally streaked with silver, a thick moustache and a perpetual smile on his face. Susie was tall and slender, with a pretty, narrow face and piercing hazel eyes.
As they stood together, Susie slowly unbuttoned and removed Keith's dress shirt, then pulled the undershirt over his head. She ran her long, manicured fingers through his modest carpet of chest hair, lingering at his nipples, which were every bit as hard as hers. She bent down and took each of the rock-hard pebbles into her mouth, using her long tongue to circle his areoles. Even as she sucked at his chest, her hands were busy unbuckling his belt and unfastening his slacks. She pushed his boxers to the floor along with his pants, then softly hefted his already-throbbing dick.
"I think someone's ready to play," she said in a voice husky with lust. She pushed Keith back into his chair, squatted down and pulled off his loafers, then pulled his pants all the way off, until he was naked, except for his dark socks.
Susie was still squatted on her haunches as she leaned between Keith's legs and brought her face right up to his cock. She took a firm grip at the base of his scrotum with her left hand, pulling his cock and balls up, and as she did, a thick ball of precum poured out from the tip. She took her right index finger and scooped up the fluid with her long nail and brought it to her ruby red lips. Her tongue flicked out and licked all of the tangy liquid off her finger, then she went back for more.
