It was one of those big business conferences no one wants to attend but you have to attend. Most of the firm would be there, all of us arriving from our far-flung locations. Our firm wasn't big, but the two dozen or so of us rarely saw each other. For me, getting there meant leaving my house at 4 AM to catch an early flight. By the time the first day's programmed activities and it was 1030 and I had been on the go for the last 18 hours.
A couple of my workmates invited me out to a bar for drinks. I thought about it, but decided to pass. I headed up to my room instead. I got ready for bed, and fell asleep within minutes. Unfortunately, I woke up about 1 o'clock in the morning. I tried to fall back to sleep, but I think all the caffeine I had during the day finally kicked in. I was wired! I threw on some jeans and a T-shirt and decided to take a walk.
I walked around the lobby and the conference center. While there were a few people in the lobby, and of course the night desk clerk behind the counter, I didn't see anyone in the conference center. From the registration table I picked up a spare program and started looking at what sessions I might attend in the morning.
A few minutes later, I heard a voice.
"Hey, Craig, what are you doing up so late?" It was Ronnie Gordon, the CEO's executive assistant. I hadn't seen Ronnie in a few months. She was based at HQ in New York and I was based out of Chicago.
"Hi Ronnie, I couldn't sleep," I replied.
"I don't think I can sleep either," she said, "I went out to the bar with Joe, Katie, Tammy, and the crowd. Now I feel weird." She was slightly slurring her words and having difficulty completing the sentences. "I haven't been high since high school, and kind of feel like I have a buzz going on."
"Are you drunk," I joked.
"No, I can't be, I only had one or two drinks," she replied, then paused and added, "I think it was only one or two, but I can't really remember."
She sat down next to me and inexplicably put her head on my lap. I was sitting at the end of the couch and she had just plopped herself down and got very comfortable with me.
"Are you sure you're not drunk," I asked again.
"No, I've been drunk before I don't feel drunk, I just feel weird, like different. I hope you don't mind my laying down here."
"Aren't you engaged?" I asked, remembering hearing something about it a few months ago, though I didn't see a ring on her finger. She started weeping. I began to rub her shoulders.
"What happened?"
"I dumped him," she said, sounding like she was about to burst out crying."
I had met Joel once or twice and thought they made a great couple.
"I haven't told anyone the full story," she continued, "Even my parents, they just know he cheated but not how. Can I trust you?"
"Of course you can," I assured her.
"Let's go somewhere quieter," she asked.
Quiter, I thought, we hadn't seen or heard a sole. Ronnie got up took my hand and led me to one if the conference rooms. She sat on the floor in a corner, and I did the same next to her. She moved and sat between my legs, her head resting on my chest. I instinctively brought an arm around her holding her to me, my arm right below her breasts.
She began to tell me, "I was really upset that Joel would be out of town on his birthday, but I had an important meeting that afternoon. I decided to surprise him by coming down to Atlanta where he would be on business. I spoke to his boss and everything and arranged to have a key to his hotel room waiting. I arrived and got ready to give him a romantic treat. I had bought a sexy nighty at Victorias Secret. It came up to, and supported, my boobs, but left them exposed. The panties were crotchless and I had shaved my pussy for the first time, which was something he had been begging me to do . . ."
I wasn't sure at what point I started fantasizing about this beautiful woman leaning against me. I had never thought of her in a sexual way before. Well I mean, ever since she had been hired, the other male managers and myself had joked about banging her, but I had never seriously thought about it.
Ronnie was 28 years old, about 5'5", long brown hair that she usually kept up in a bun. She had large brown, almost puppy dog like, eyes. She had very full lips that she always wore with bright red lipstick. Her breasts weren't large, but she was very skinny, making her perky breasts seem larger than they probably were. She had almost no hips and a very small ass. She almost always wore very tight dresses and skirts that showed off her figure and left her long shapely legs exposed.
"Craig, are you listening to me," she asked snapping me back to reality.
"Yes of course," I lied.
Ronnie continued, "so at 10 o'clock I called Joel from his hotel room, I had told him I would call at 10. He answered and there was a lot of noise around. I wished him Happy Birthday and asked where he was. He told me that he had gone out with a couple friends from work but that he was on his way back to the hotel to turn in. I didn't let on that I was in his hotel room waiting for him. I hung up and waited for what seemed like forever. I didn't want to turn on the TV because I really wanted him to be surprise when he walked in I read a book and waited listening carefully for the sound of the door. Almost 1 AM I heard someone at the door. I quickly shut the bedside light as soon as the door opened. I started very seductively singing happy birthday in my best Marilyn Monroe impression."
"And then as I was trying to surprise Joel, I got the surprise of my life I heard a woman's voice say 'Joel there's someone in there.' The lights went on. I was practically naked and Joel was coming back to the room with Janice one of his coworkers. Janice and Joel had dated a long time ago, he had repeatedly told me it was over between them. I remember throwing something at them. I think it was my book. Joel just stood there like a deer in the headlights shouting 'oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.' I quickly got dressed, grabbed my bag and ran out of the room. The last thing I remember was Janice trying to console him. I headed to the airport, spent the night there and took the first flight home in the morning."
Ronnie was crying. I held her tight to me. We sat there in an uncomfortable silence for a while. I found my hands, which had been clutched together around her waist, slowly making their way upwards as I held her tight against me. I unclasped my hands and gently grazed the underside of right breast with my left hand. She shuddered and let out a soft almost purr. As I held her, I could feel my dick hardening.
All of a sudden she broke the silence. "I haven't even seen Joel since then, and haven't dated anyone. Its been over three months."
"Its ok, you'll find someone soon enough," I reassured her.
"I miss being with a man, and you're holding me feels so good. Are you ok?"
"What do you mean, of course I am ok." I responded.
"I am sure you are getting uncomfortable down there, I can feel it," she said in an innocent sort of voice.
"Oh, sorry about that," I blushed.
"I really feel weird tonight," she said, "I don't feel like myself at all."
