The real soothing lotion
Another day, another day of intense work. Another day when Penelope had not telephoned the doctors. That came to her at around 6.30pm as she pushed back her chair and prepared to go home. It came to her because she felt a familiar itch to her left breast and right buttock.
"No!" She said out loud. Not that there was anyone to hear. Not even Steve Knowles as he was not in that day. Perhaps if she hurried she could get home before it really hit but already the itch was spreading and beginning to burn. There would not be time. She needed to apply lotion quickly and, she needed to get her clothes off to do so Easy enough to slip out of her cotton skirt, and as Steve had suggested she was wearing nothing underneath. A quick undoing of buttons and then the clasp of her brassiere and Penelope was once again naked in the office. She reached for the drawer to Steve's desk - but it was locked. She pulled the handle again. It really was locked.
Penelope tugged at Steve's drawer, her panic increasing, but it did not come open. Her breasts were on fire and tugging at the drawer made them really wobble which did not help one little bit. The drawer did not budge. It was locked. Penelope looked around frantically as if one of her work colleagues might have absent-mindedly have left a crowbar on a desk. What was she to do?
Again she looked around, had anyone else some sort of lotion on their desk? She could not see anything like that. What was she to do? The burning sensation was beyond an itch, beyond scratching.
What was she to do? She could not just stand there. Should she roll about in discomfort and pain on the carpet but the prospect of the scratchy office carpet touching her skin was not something to be contemplated or borne. Penelope decided to run, jog around the office and hope that would relieve the symptoms, perhaps take her mind off her flaring epidermis.
Penelope ran.
Penelope ran, round and round the office, passing desk after desk with all the ephemera people leave on them, desks and chairs all empty - so different from during the day. What would people have thought at the naked, panting Penelope jogging steadily around the office floor, her boobs bouncing up and down in a way men find so pleasing - and quite a few women, as it happens.
It helped but it did not stop the feeling. Jogging, though, seemed to sort of contain it and made it easier to bear. Around and around she went until to her horror she saw the doors from the lift lobby move. She crouched, peering around a desk. Could she hide until the person had gone - but what of her clothes strewn around her desk? Could she withstand the awful itching feeling whilst crouched there?
It was only Steve Knowles. Her relief was palpable.
"Steve!" She stood and ran up the office to him. He looked surprised to see her - like that.
"I've been running around and around, it seems to help and..."
"Have you seen the doctor?"
Penelope's eyes dropped to the floor. It was sort of instinctive, behaviour from when she was young and being told off.
"No - I forgot again."
"I should put you over my knee and spank you."
Penelope recoiled, actually took a step backwards, not from the so inappropriate idea of a co-worker spanking her naked bottom and all the sexual implications that had. Patting someone's clothed bottom was one thing: spanking quite another! But it was not the inappropriateness that made her recoil, rather it was from the thought of the pain her almost burning buttocks would receive from just a light pat let alone a full smack.
"No! I know I should have telephoned, know I've been a naughty girl but your lotion, Steve, it's locked in your drawer."
"Ah!"
Steve fished in his trouser pocket and Penelope's eyes followed his hand. She could see clearly he had erected in his jeans, not just the usually shapeless man bulge but a very obvious, continuous bulging as if he had something long and rounded in his pocket. Too big to be a board marker and nowhere near as big as a rolling pin: but Penelope knew what it was. She did seem to be causing Steve a lot of erections.
The keys were fished from the pocket, right next to where Steve's bulge showed so clearly.
"Come on."
Dutifully Penelope followed Steve towards their desks. She was impatient for him to open the drawer and he seemed to fumble at it. Why wouldn't he 'fucking' hurry up and stop bumbling and buggering around? Finally, the drawer was open and there it was - the so desired bottle of lotion.
"I don't think it'll go on properly, Penny, You're soaked in sweat. Come on let's get you in the shower and then I'll apply the lotion."
She was tired from half an hour's jogging, her mind rather fuddled by the burning pain of her condition. She would definitely make an appointment the next day. Perhaps even go to A&E that very night. Those thoughts were in her mind as Steve led her to the office shower. He came in with her and locked the door.
"Oh, the shower," she said, rather stating the obvious.
Steve turned it on and tested the water. "In you go. I'll wash you."
The water felt a little better. She stood under the shower head, her eyes a little unfocused feeling the soft water cascading down warm on her body washing the perspiration away. She was aware, but a little dimly, that Steve was taking his clothes off. All at once he was there in the shower with her. Almost certainly against company policy to have two persons in the shower at the same time.
Penelope shook her head. What was she doing - what was she doing? How had this happened? She was naked and with a naked Steve Knowles, close and intimate in a shower cubicle with the hot water spraying down on both of them. What was worse, Steve had an erection. It was there inches from her tummy, hard and potent as men's penises are. She was not a stranger to them. Had enjoyed men and their strange, prominent, so extendable sticking out organs. But this was Steve Knowles' penis, foreskin drawn back and its flared smooth knob with its little eye so there in front of her. It was thick, rather craggy with veins and upon its upper surface, half way down the shaft a couple of moles decorated the skin. It curved up towards her looking like it meant business and right down under it she could see his 'nuts' hanging in his scrotum. How awful to be seeing that - Steve Knowles' erection and now, she realised, she would recognise it anywhere - with those two moles.
