All characters in my stories are aged 18 and over and whilst there may sometimes be conversations that involve people casting their minds back to when they were younger, active sex is NOT a feature of those past times and any sexually active characters are aged 18 and over.

Jonathan had set his alarm earlier than Amber's. The night before, he'd already got it into his head that he wanted her to fellate him to start the day. His sex drive seemed to have increased ten fold since Christmas for some reason and he was finding himself thinking about something - anything - to do with sex almost all his waking hours. Amber knew he liked to start the day this way whenever possible and despite the unexpectedness of his early eagerness, she was so excited about her first day in her new role that she just went along with it, albeit feeling a bit too tired to put her full heart and soul into it.
She was feeling like a million dollars - arriving for work for the first time with Jonathan, in his car. Previously, Jonathan had insisted that they kept their relationship quiet at work but since he'd proposed marriage to her over Christmas and she'd accepted, he'd told her they could be a bit more relaxed about it. He'd said that whilst he wouldn't be calling a staff meeting to let everyone know, he was happy for people to find out casually in general conversation and that Amber needn't be coy about 'marrying the boss' as he knew a lot of people might refer to it as. He'd added the caveat that they still shouldn't overtly flaunt themselves so no kissing or hugging where staff could see and they should maintain professional dialogue in front of colleagues. Still, this was a big step from having to hide their relationship for the 3 months leading up to Christmas and it somehow, in a strange way, gave Amber a big confidence boost. Jonathan - the owner of such a big business and respected publication locally - was happy for anyone to know that she was the one he'd chosen to marry.
Amber had never had much confidence, always doubting her abilities, her looks, her opinions, but since Jonathan had proposed to her in front of her family and friends just over a week ago it was like some kind of validation. Someone was standing up and saying, 'THIS is the girl I love, want to marry and want to spend the rest of my life with.' What more could she want? If high profile Jonathan could come out and declare his feelings for her in that way, she MUST have qualities that made her valid, made her worthy and also made HIM feel confident to come out and say it all.
"Now, don't forget, you'll be working in the main office from today right? Joining the ranks of our other reporters and working out who is going to cover what stories etc. There's a lot of teamwork involved in this job Amber and that doesn't necessarily mean working WITH someone, it means deciding amongst you as a team who is going to cover what. Those decisions can be made based on a whole variety of factors; someone has a personal interest in a particular topic, someone has experience in a topic, sometimes, some of the more sensitive stories might need a more experienced reporter, some of the stories will need a good photographer as they're more visual, d'you get me?"
"Yes! Yes, I get you! I'm SO excited Jonathan, I really am. I can't wait!"
Sliding to a stop at the red light, Jonathan looked across and smiled at her, placing his hand on her thigh.
"I KNOW you're excited darling but just remember, it's not all fun and games OK? Some stories are a hard call, people going through tough stuff. Some stories are just plain boring. Imagine going to interview someone who is campaigning for traffic calming measures on their street. Sure it's important for their community but would it get you bouncing out of bed in the morning eager to go and make a start? Probably not, but you have to take the boring with the exciting. The good with the not-so-good. You know."
Putting the car back into gear, Jonathan pulled away from the lights.
"Now, remember what I told you were the golden rules of reporting?"
"Yes, yes, I remember!"
"Well go on then - tell me. I want to make sure you haven't forgotten any of them."
"OK... erm... One - Maintain an open mind, Two - Always consider both sides of a story, Three - Don't be judgmental, Four - Empathise and Five... erm... Five... errr... Oh yes, Five - Be fluid, stay prepared to have your own view challenged."
"That's very good darling, very good indeed, only one slight mistake."
"Oh!? Which one did I get wrong?"
"Not really WRONG as such but it's important. Number three - 'Don't be judgmental' is actually 'NEVER be judgmental.' You never know what someone else is either going through or has been through so we NEVER judge."
"Oh yeah! Sorry. Now you've explained it again, I'll remember."
"No apology needed at all, you've done excellently. I just wanted to make sure you remembered how we operate. I mean, each local paper will have it's own 'rules' if you like that they operate by but these are mine and my diktat is that we acquire and present our stories in a highly ethical manner." As he finished speaking, the 'Colin Barratt' story came into his mind and he visualised what he imagined had gone on from the audio interview he'd heard. Of course, there had been absolutely NO ethics involved in that story at all but it turned him on something chronic!
Amber picked up her bag and released the seat belt as Jonathan pulled into the 'Director 1' marked space.
"Right, Mrs Taylor-To-Be, let's start a great working year."
Amber smiled, her heart and tummy fluttering as her and Jonathan both entered the building together. Truth be known, he was also feeling quite 'high' at the thought that over the weeks to come, the people who worked for him (who were all men apart from Amber and Sandra) would find out that he was to marry Amber and would probably be insanely jealous.
"Morning! Morning! Happy New Year!"
Sandra was back behind the reception desk and Ian and Pete were chatting with her.
"Sandra! You're back!" Amber smiled at the older woman who had been ill prior to Christmas meaning that she had had to cover the reception desk for a while.
"Yes, yes, I'm back!" Sandra smiled over to Amber as Jonathan gave New Year handshakes to Ian and Pete.
"Are you feeling better now?" Amber moved closer to the desk, removing her padded coat as she spoke.
"Mmmm... very nice." Pete muttered quietly under his breath so as Amber wouldn't hear, nodding slightly in her direction to Jonathan and Ian who both turned to see her sliding her coat off her arms and smoothing her sweater down to meet the waistband of her trousers. The baby blue knitted fabric clung tightly to her large bust, emphasising the outward projection of her breasts. Amber had chosen that sweater as it was a cold day and it had a very high, chunky roll neck. It looked so good with the black flared trousers she'd paired it with, which hugged her backside and thighs tightly but flared out from the knee, giving a classic but sexy look. Slim heeled ankle boots completed her outfit. Of course, Pete had no idea that her and Jonathan were in a relationship, let alone planning to marry. If he did, he would never have made such a remark in front of him.
"Now, now! Work to do gentleman!" Jonathan grinned sarcastically, gesturing toward the main doors. "I'll see you shortly Amber."
Amber smiled at him as Sandra spoke...
"Yes, I'm fine now dear. Did you have a nice Christmas? What's THAT!!?" Sandra lifted Amber's left hand, specifically taking hold of her ring finger and staring at the large diamond, set into the platinum band.
"Oh err..." Amber blushed. "I got engaged on Christmas Day." Smiling, she looked on as Sandra inspected the ring.
"Oh, how romantic! That's a big diamond isn't it. Someone must think the world of you. When's the wedding? I remember when my grand-daughter got married recently, they were planning it 2 years in advance! For some reason it seems to take ages these days, so much to be done."
"It's at the end of April," Amber smiled, her words reminding her that in less than 4 months time, she would be Jonathan Taylor's wife.
"Blimey! That's quick love! Here - you're not err... you know, pregnant are you?"
"No! No! Ha! Of course not! It's just that my fiancΓ©'s got a lot of contacts and can organise things quickly so we thought, 'why wait'?"
That wasn't quite how things were. There was no 'WE' involved in the 'why wait' at all, Jonathan was the one who wanted to marry so quickly and what Amber didn't know was that the reason it seemed so sudden is because he specifically wanted to marry her before her 19th birthday at the end of May. On their marriage certificate, he would be stated as being 63 years of age and she would be stated as 18. Being well over 3 times her age turned Jonathan on so very much. He'd wanted the girl from the first day he'd seen her but even in the early days of him 'wooing' her and taking her for the first time, his mindset was still the same as it had always been - he would NEVER get married. However, as he spent more time with her and realised that he could basically do whatever sexual act he fancied with her, he began to acknowledge that things inside his body were starting to feel a little different. He was getting older and his ability to gain the interest of or even be in situations involving busty young girls would definitely start to subside as the years went by. It was this realisation that made him determined to have her for himself (a) so that he could enjoy having the stunning beauty by his side as he aged and be the envy of any man who saw them together (b) so that he was guaranteed regular sex with a big titted young girl and (c) so that no other man could have her.
"What a lucky young man he is to have such a beautiful girl to be his bride. I'm really pleased for you both."
"Ahh, thanks so much Sandra. Look, I must go, I start my new job in the reporters office today."
"Hmmm, well, I hope you can hold your own in there, those blokes can be a bit intimidating to someone with not much experience, especially you as a girl in amongst them."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Amber smiled. "I'll see you later Sandra."
Amber made her way down the corridor to head to Jonathan's office. About half way down, she passed the Reporters office and peered in the glass door panel. Three men were in one corner with newspapers spread out in front of them. Others were working on their laptops, Three men nearest the door were huddled around another guy, who was obviously showing them his phone screen. One of the guys who'd leaned in to look at the phone made an 'o' shape with his mouth and cupping gestures on his chest with his hands. All the others grinned widely.
'High spirits,' Amber smiled to herself, feeling like nothing could spoil the day. She felt confident and was enjoying it.
Jonathan quickly put his mobile down as she strode into his office.
"You took your time!" He joked, his face slightly flushed. "I thought you'd decided against everything and gone home eh?!"
"No," Amber smiled, hanging her coat on the back of his door. "It was Sandra, she spotted my ring and asked me about it."
