The biting cold and relentless wind greet me as I exit the office, long past the standard 5 PM leave time. The parking lot is nearly deserted, with most of my coworkers having already departed, leaving only a handful of cars scattered about. Although unfamiliar, these remaining cars likely belong to the out-of-town clients still engaged in discussions with upper management inside.
Distracted by my thoughts of pity for their schedules, a forceful gust of wind suddenly swirls around me, catching me off guard and causing me to stumble before reaching my car. My half-zipped backpack spills out, and I fall right on my ass. Embarrassed, I hurriedly stuff my bag closed. I notice a breeze as I stand and realize my simple work dress has a rip at the side and my hip has an asphalt burn. I rush to my car as the shame washes over me. As I take a breath to collect myself, I look up at my office building and notice a figure in the window walking away. I let out an amused sigh and hope at least someone might have gotten a laugh at my expense. Yet, I shake my head at my arrogance in thinking anyone might have noticed.
As I drive home, reflections on the whirlwind of changes in just a few short months flood my mind. At a mere 23 years old, I, Maren, managed to save up enough money and secure a good job, so I could move away from home. However, I never realized how difficult it might be to live on my own, and the work around my house has really piled up. Drained after a day's work, I find myself with only the slightest reserve of energy to prepare dinner, wash up, and retire to bed before the next day begins. I long for the structure and discipline that living at home or having a roommate gave me. I take a deep sigh and return my attention to the road.
After an uneventful night, I get dressed for the chilly Friday morning in the office. I dry myself off from the hot shower and rub vanilla-scented lotion all over my soft brown skin, taking extra care to massage my breasts as they get so sensitive during the day. Then, I pick out a pink lacy padless bra and a high-cut pink thong. As I gaze into the mirror, I cannot help but admire myself. My soft 32F breasts sit perfectly in the balconette bra, and my heart-drop-shaped rear completely engulfs the back of the thong. I put a bandage on my hip and rub into the bruise that is slowly forming. I let out a soft moan and can feel my pussy get wet as I massage into the pain. Taking a few breaths to cool down, I slip on my favorite black office dress that hugs my shape in all the best ways. My waist appears cinched because of the proportions of my breasts and butt, and the V-neck certainly helps show off my girls. At only 5'2, I throw on some simple black pumps so I can appear just a little taller and put on a zip up before leaving my home.
Glancing at the time, I realize I'm about to be late for work--again. Speed-walking from the parking lot into the office building, I turn a corner and collide headfirst into a broad, towering chest. Attempting to salvage my dignity, I contort my face into an embarrassed smile and mutter, "I am so sorry. I'm running late." Without waiting for a response, I hightail it to my desk, avoiding eye contact.
A few moments later, my manager, Thom, shoots an annoyed glare my way from his desk and signals for me to come over. I quickly put my things down and shuffle over to his desk, ready to face the consequences.
"I thought we had a conversation last week about your tardiness Maren?" Thom says.
I look down in shame. "I am so sorry Thom. I ran into-" I started to say.
Thom's gaze narrows when he says, "That's enough excuses Maren. I am worried this might need to be a bigger conversation." Thom looks like he might continue when his computer pings and he makes a strange face.
He sighs, "I need you to join the team for a lunch meeting with the new clients. You really should not be included, but for some reason, the director just asked for you to join. A good learning experience, I guess," says Thom as he rolls his eyes.
While slightly frustrated at his annoyance, it is weird for an entry-level employee to attend a meeting with the directors. I try to focus on the workday and put out the looming demerits I am bound to receive. But as lunch approaches, I begin to get increasingly nervous about the meeting and why I am included.
My manager and I walk over to our director's office where he is in the company of two other upper management figures and three representatives from the visiting client's company. As we enter, everyone rises and exchanges greetings. One of the reps, however, clasps my hand with a firmer and longer grip than the rest. I dismiss the lingering sensation, reminding myself of my tendency to overanalyze trivial details. Yet, as I glance at him, I notice that his shirt eerily resembles the one worn by the sturdy chest I walked into earlier.
We make our way towards the parking lot, and it's revealed that the rep with the firm handshake is none other than Daniel, the son of the client company's owner. While he engages in conversation with others, I discreetly steal a glance, unable to resist checking him out.
Daniel possesses a commanding presence, his tall figure adorned with handsome features and short black hair that discreetly covers his ears. His physique suggests that working out isn't his sole identity, yet there's an undeniable natural strength emanating from him. He has strong shoulders and a kind demeanor that makes you feel safe in his presence. I blush internally and focus back on the conversation with everyone else.
Daniel offers to take me with the rest of his reps to the restaurant. He holds the door open for me to sit down and gestures for me to scoot over. I suppose I do not catch what he is asking, and he leans down and pinches me slightly on the hip I fell on yesterday. I let out a small yelp and hop over to the other side of the seat as he slides in. Daniel shoots me a knowing smile and continues talking about his company. Slightly miffed, I rub my hip where it hurts but continue speaking to him. His buddies do not pay us any mind as they are lost in their conversation about the weekend coming. Daniel turns to me to ask about my plans for the weekend.
"Oh, I am not up to anything really. I was thinking of going hiking, but then again it looks hot this weekend." I muse.
"I haven't been hiking since I moved back here! We will go together Saturday morning. No reason to worry about driving, I will just pick you up." I look up at him confused by his directness, but I do want to go hiking and it would be safer to go with someone. So I don't disagree.
We talk shop over lunch with my team, ending the session with a deal signed and a promise for more meetings in the future to discuss the plans. I am secretly thrilled at the idea of seeing Daniel more than just this once. As we ride back to the office, Daniel asks for my number so we can coordinate for tomorrow. Naturally, I oblige and send him my address.
The rest of my Friday goes by as normal, and I grab my things to leave. Daniel spots me as I start my walk to the parking lot. He walks over to me while gesturing for me to slow down.
"Hey Maren! I think I should walk you to your car this time." He chuckles as he says it.
Confused, I look at him with a strained smile.
"I saw your tumble yesterday and I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself like that again." He says with a wicked grin.
