A few years ago, a young woman came to work for me. I will call her Cheryl, to protect her and me. She was only 5' tall and very pretty in a cute way. There was an innocent air about her that made you assume she was very conventional and conservative. I would have been more interested in her if I had known what lurked beneath that deceiving exterior. Cheryl was 7 years younger than me and was also married. She was inexperienced in this field of work, and I was very happy to teach her everything I knew. Cheryl was very appreciative and looked up to me as her mentor. I have done this with a number of young women over the years but this was the only time I ever got in trouble.
Cheryl and I traveled as part of our business. We would be together a lot and we would talk for hours. She thought I was really smart and that seemed to be as sexy to her as if I was the most handsome guy in the world. I don't know if most women consider "smart" sexy, but Cheryl did.
So, Cheryl was petite and cute as hell. When she smiled, there were few women who looked as beautiful, in my opinion. She had long brown hair, beautiful blue eyes, great legs and a shapely ass. Her breasts were very tiny, however. I LOVE petite women, and she was about as petite as they come.
So she and I became very good friends from all the time we spent together. Women often tell me I'm a very good listener and they often end up telling me more than they intend to. Another woman who once worked for me once said "I can't believe I'm telling you all this!" It was the same with Cheryl.
One day, we were traveling to a client's meeting and she invited me over to her house for coffee before we went to the meeting. By this time, we had worked together for about 9 months. It was a funny feeling being in her house and by then, I really did like her and found her attractive. However, I was very hesitant to push things further because I really did love my wife. Plus, I didn't think Cheryl would be interested since she seemed so innocent. At one point while we were having our coffee, I had the urge to kiss her. I resisted, fortunately, because she told me much later that she would have been offended if I had (it was still too early in our relationship and we were both married). She did tell me many months later that after that day we spent together, she came home and was on an emotional high; she said she felt as if she had been on a great date.
As I mentioned before, we spent a lot of time together and talked for hours about various subjects. One day on a business trip about 18 months after we had met, Cheryl and I got on the subject of sex. I teased her that she was just a repressed, innocent little Catholic girl. She responded by saying she wasn't as innocent as I thought. This peaked my interest. I told her I didn't believe her and she got a little defensive. I said she probably had never done oral sex, for example. She quickly told me I was wrong. We then started to get into some details. We both were getting turned on and she even admitted that I was making her panties wet. I could tell from the way she spoke and looked at me that she was getting excited. We went to lunch and continued the conversation. Based on some questions I asked her, Cheryl then told me about some of her previous lovers, which really surprised me.
In order continue our conversation, I asked her if she wanted to get a beer. She quickly agreed. I was really pleasantly surprised because Cheryl had seemed so conservative. Being such as small woman, she also looked so innocent. We went to a bar and continued to talk. She was scheduled to go to Atlanta the next week to visit one of our clients. I had tried to convince her that I should go with her, but she had wanted to go alone. At one point in the conversation, I said that with the things we were talking about today, "can you imagine what we might say to each other if we were alone in Atlanta." She shocked me by responding: "Can you imagine what we might DO together if we were alone in Atlanta." I was surprised and sort of asked her what she meant. She said it was obvious we were attracted to each other and she was afraid how far this might go if we were in another city together.
This was a breakthrough in our relationship. Even though I had admired her for months and thought she was so cute, I was too afraid to ever approach her because of our work relationship. This gave me an opening, since she had really broken the barrier by mentioning there was something between us. I then admitted that I thought her very attractive and she admitted the same about me. She told me she knew that I liked her by the way I stood close to her and looked at her at work. She was obviously aware of the little verbal and physical cues that had passed between us. She described one meeting at work where a number of us were joking around and she and I looked at each other for a second longer than was necessary or normal. Women are much better at seeing these little clues than men are.
The mood was broken however because we both had to use the bathroom after drinking several beers! When she returned and we sat in my car, I asked her to kiss me. She refused and said things had gone too far already and she was afraid to kiss me because she wouldn't be able to stop. It turned out that this day was also her anniversary and she was upset that she was thinking these things. I drove off very shaken emotionally because of what happened. I really hadn't realized how emotionally involved I had gotten just working with her the past 18 months.
