This is a story of one of my closest friends. She shared this story with me in one of our intimate moments and I took the liberty to pen it down so that I could share it with all of you. I have of course taken her permission before putting this on this forum. I have written this story in first person because that was how I heard it too. I hope you enjoy it.
-------------------------
It was a great conference and I had made a lot of good contacts. It was almost the end of the night and people were satisfied with the yummy dinner that was served to us and they had slowly started retreating to their respective rooms. Only the few people who were either bored to stay alone in the rooms or the ones who wanted to get drunk were staying back. I was satisfied with how my day had gone and was picking up my papers to go to my room. I would of course be bored to be alone, but since I didn't have company and I don't enjoy drinking, I preferred to go to my room and read something by myself.
As I was picking up my bag to go, I heard a voice call out...
"That was a brilliant presentation Aayra!"
I felt it was a familiar voice but was puzzled who it was because everyone I knew had left for the day. I turned around eager to know who it was and there he was standing. Looking sharp and handsome as ever... in his blue suit... Alex. I always wondered how he looked so sharp even at the end of a long day.
My face lit up looking at him and an involuntary broad smile came on my face.
"Heyy!! Alex!! What a pleasant surprise??!! I didn't know you were going to be in this conference. How are you?"
He smiled back and said "Yeah Yeah.. busy people! Where will you have the time to notice me when you have so many people around you seeking your attention!"
He was back as his usual teasing. He walked closer to me and we shook hands. He said "It is so nice to see you after so long. I am good by the way and looking at the way your presentation went I am guessing you are rocking in your new role!"
I smiled and said "You are kind! But thank you for your compliments. So, how come you are here? Where are you staying?"
"I am staying at this hotel itself; our entire team booked this hotel for our accommodation. I was a last-minute addition to this conference; hence my name may not appear on the attendee list. But it's amazing to see you here. After our last meeting, you never got back to me with your coordinates and we lost touch. We did make a good team! remember?" and he winked at me.
I laughed and said "Yes yes! I am to blame. I am sorry I really got busy with a few things. But I am happy I met you here. When are you heading back?"
"I have extended my stay for 2 more days. I have some work. So, I will be going back on Saturday. What about you?"
"I am flying back on Saturday too. Good. We have three more days here."
"Are you heading back to your room?"
"Yes"
"So Soon?"
"Haha! You know me! I don't enjoy drinking and this time I don't have company too. What about you? Headed back to your room?"
"Yes. I am"
"How come? Your team is here, and you are the life of the party! Come on!"
Listening to this I saw a hint of hesitation in his voice and he said "No. Not anymore. I don't feel like it."
It was surprising to see him like this as I had never seen him so low ever. I didn't want to coax further and thought of leaving him at peace and said "No Problem. Get some rest. We shall meet tomorrow morning in the conference again."
"Yes. Definitely. At least now give me your number."
I laughed and as I was typing my number in his phone, my phone rang, and I picked it up.
"Hi Honey! Yes. Yes. It went well. Thank you. Did you have dinner? Yes, I did too. I am heading back to my room. Must wake up early tomorrow. Good night!"
He asked "Husband?"
I smiled and said "Yes. His usual time to call me when I'm travelling for work."
We exchanged numbers after that and entered the lift. He asked, "Which floor?"
I said "18th".
He said, "My! My! Ms. Aayra! we are on the same floor! and you still didn't notice me" and we laughed and headed to our rooms.
As I entered my room, I freshened up and got naked and wore the bath robe. My usual way of retreating for the day whenever I am travelling for work- getting naked and sleeping nude. I just loved doing it as I couldn't do it at home. I didn't feel like reading and hence I walked over to my bed, took off my bath robe and snuggled into my blanket naked.
As I lay blank on my bed, my mind started wandering and I was reminded of the first time I met Alex.
It was two years ago. We met in one of our overseas conferences and had instantly hit it off. We had similar thoughts on solving a few of our company's business problems. We were paired together in one of those random teams during a team activity and we had a blast working together for 3 days.
He was a handsome man and super smart too. I, being a sapiosexual, liked him very much. Not just that, there was something about him that was so attractive. He was a chivalrous guy and he carried a charm around wherever he went, that made people comfortable with him. He had his way around women and had the most infectious smile. During one of our activities, I watched him extract information from a receptionist just by giving her a smile and talking to her with such a strong eye contact that everybody was stunned by him as nobody was able to break her before.
I still remember after this victory how he looked at me and winked, showing off what he had done and I gave my usual proud smile of having such a great team member to work with, internally feeling for the girl who had melted away around his charm. Such was the rapport we shared, a very friendly and professional bond, lot of respect for each other's work and knew when to break the formality and have fun. Five days of ultimate fun and it flew like hours.
We had an amazing time on and off work too. Hilariously laughing and teasing people during our casual team dinners and late-night drunk gossip sessions with everyone. We had built such a great friendship in five days that we could pick up each other's cues and I felt confident and liberated around him because he let me be me and was not intimidated by a powerful strong woman. He was a happily married man (why wouldn't he be? any woman would be super happy with a guy like that for a husband) and I was happy in my marriage too. While he knew girls around him were hitting on him and going out of their way to do favors to him, he never took advantage of it and used to use me as his shield when a girl got close because unlike others, he would not get any special treatment from me.
The day we were departing, we took some time to have a cup of coffee with each other. I remembered that day very vividly because that was the day, he told me he had started getting attracted to me. He said that he felt I was an incredibly beautiful, strong and confident woman. But what he admired most was the way he felt around me. He said I made him feel exactly how his wife had made him feel when they first started dating. I remembered he had told me that as a respect to our newfound friendship he felt he must confess this so that he does not feel guilty later. We both were married, it's not like something would happen between us.
I was surprised at the way I reacted cause instead of feeling awkward, I realized I had started enjoying what he was telling me. That was when I realized that somewhere deep down unknowingly, I was attracted to him too.
He shared his contact details with me and gave a casual hug and as he was walking away, I felt my heart sinking. I could not understand what was happening to me. I tried to distract myself with other stuff. But throughout my flight back home I caught myself thinking about all the amazing time we had together. This was very unlike me. Even after I reached home, I realized I could not stop thinking about him.
After three days of this, I realized it was getting out of hand and I must put a stop to this. That was when I deleted his contact details and told myself never to contact him for the sake of my sanity. I felt it was just a crush and I must not let it grow. As I kept reminiscing and realizing why I lost touch with him, my phone beeped and got me back to present day.
When I checked myself, I realized that I had been touching myself all this while thinking about him. This was nothing new to me. Considering the way things were going with me for the last one year. I had been extremely dissatisfied sexually and it had started eating me up from within. I love my husband and he love me too. But the passion had been missing for years now. I kept telling myself, things will improve but he had been more and more disinterested in sex.
Initially I felt maybe I am at fault. But I checked myself and realized it's not me. As I never let myself go. I still looked as hot as the day he met me. And I had made every possible effort to spice things up in bed, even going out of my comfort zone to please him. Giving him an amazing and surprise blow job in the middle of day, dress up like a stripper and give him a lap dance, tie him up, blind fold him and have at it, role playing... I had tried every trick in the book. But nothing seemed to work with him. There were tons of times when I communicated my dissatisfaction to him, and we ended up fighting. But then, nothing changed. I had given up, like how a faithful wife would do, thinking that why should I spoil the friendship we have for a few moments of physical gratification.
But I had underestimated how dissatisfied I was. I never felt sexy anymore no matter what I wore, and this feeling has crept into my mind. I had started getting hot dreams during the night and I would wake up extremely wet every single day. I had started daydreaming about strange men pleasuring me on bed and using me like a fuck toy, I would unknowingly touch myself while asleep and I was surprised how much satisfaction that gave me. So, this was nothing new to me. But the newness was in the fact that as I was thinking about Alex, I was dripping profusely. I decided not to waste my arousal and my 'alone-night' and please myself to this feeling. After all, nothing was going to happen between us...
The next morning, I got up and got ready as usual. But I observed that there was an unusual jump in my gait. I was happy and excited, and I didn't know why. I spent more time in front of the mirror and realized I had picked up a hot red lipstick to apply. I checked myself and realized it would be too bold for a conference. What was happening to me? What was I doing? Come on Aayra! Wake up. You are losing control. Stay strong.
