Our relatively small book club has been running for many years, with the same ladies as members. We are all happily married -- to our first husbands - and have kids that are nearly adults themselves. Having known each other for years we have shared many close personal stories. However, being very discrete women it took some time for us to realize that we had all indulged at some stage in our lives, in some form or level of extra-marital sexual pleasures. I have captured the spirit of these stories in writing.
This is the story of Alice's first exposure to extra-marital excitement.
*******************************
I was doing a software presentation to a potentially new client. All the company's senior managers were there including the CEO, Brandon. Brandon was tall, distinguished looking, very charming and had a quiet but commanding presence. His staff interacted comfortably with him but their deep seated respect for him was clear. Brandon was obviously a powerful, influential man who had got to the top, at least partly, through his ability to manage and control people.
His quiet but totally effective control was obvious throughout the presentation. I found myself quite taken by him. He clearly also had something of an eye for women. I noticed that the women staff dressed in a sophisticated, but elegantly sexy manner and liked to be around him. More specifically, however, I could not help but notice his eyes roaming all over my body as I did my presentation. I had worn a silky blouse that showed off the shape of my breasts, without being figure hugging and overly sensual. My skirt was a snug fit with a hemline that ended just above the knee. I was a little intimidated that this powerful, enigmatic man was clearly trying to assess how I looked underneath the silk and cotton.
At the end of the presentation Brandon invited me to his office to discuss the way forward. I was flattered that this charismatic, powerful man who was quite a few years older than me, would take the time to see me personally. I followed him into his huge corner office feeling a little intimidated by his presence.
He told me he wanted me to come and see him with a commercial proposal for my software the next day. He was free after four in the afternoon to discuss it. With his quiet commanding manner he made it clear that I was expected to fit in with his plans even if it meant that I would have to reshuffle my commitments. Having got my commitment he complimented me on my presentation and my interaction with the audience. He said he could see that I was observant and in touch with my audience, and he admired people, especially women, with those characteristics.
Having softened me with his compliment, Brandon commented that since I was observant, I had probably noticed that he had been watching me very closely. "I find you very attractive and sexy!"
Seeing me blush slightly at his comment he gave me a wry smile and asked, "Did I make you feel awkward by watching you so intently?"
I found his honest admission of the way he had been looking me up and down quite disarming. Not wanting to offend him I gave him a measured reply. "It depends on the way in which the man looks at me as to whether it makes me feel uncomfortable or whether I view it as a compliment ...... but I took your looks as a compliment!" I smiled at him.
Giving a mischievous grin, he responded, "So you knew that I was undressing you with my eyes?"
His directness put me on the spot again, so I just acknowledged sheepishly that I guessed that was what he was doing.
I sensed that through his directness he was subtly getting me to respond to him in the way he wanted, and so quietly controling the situation. Unabashedly looking me up and down again before looking me straight in the eye, he commented, "I bet you are very sexy under that outfit. I would really like to see you naked sometime!"
Brandon said this with such charm and confidence that I actually took it as a compliment, although I did feel a little stunned at his openness. Somehow such a comment coming from any other man would have been insulting and degrading. With his eyes still staring deep into mine, I felt for a brief moment that somehow this powerful, self-assured man probably could get me to strip for him if he really wanted too. It was a weird feeling which I tried to quickly shrug off and so looked away without responding to him. I inwardly told myself that he was just being forthright in expressing his thoughts and that I was certainly not going to entertain his whims.
I tried to hide the fact that I was feeling a little flustered by focusing on gathering my briefcase, purse and car keys. I gave Brandon what I hoped looked like a confident smile and greeted him. "See you tomorrow afternoon then, to discuss the commercial proposal."
He smiled warmly in return. "I certainly look forward to seeing more of you tomorrow!"
The double meaning of what he said was not lost on me, and I my skin prickled in little goose bumps as I walked out of his office. Although his parting comment could have been understood in a straight forward friendly way, I was sure that he had wanted me to grasp the double meaning. Had it been any other man I would not have given it another thought, but Brandon seemed to be able to get his way with people.
I shopped for a few groceries on the way home but found my mind constantly coming back to Brandon and his comment about wanting to see me naked. Over dinner my husband even commented that I seemed distracted. I told him it was work issues that I did not want him to bother with, trying to avoid telling him what was actually on my mind. That night I slept fitfully and dreamt repeatedly of stripping off for this powerful man in his office and letting him have his way with me. I had not had such an erotic dream for ages and was left so turned on that I ended up going to the bathroom and masturbating to relive my sexual tension.
I woke the next morning still feeling mildly aroused and tried to get some sex going with my husband. Much to my frustration he declined as he had to rush off to an early meeting.
Probably because I was still feeling horny I found myself selecting a sexy, although still work appropriate, outfit to wear that day. I chose a simple, figure hugging dress with a fairly low neckline and beneath that I put on lacy, see through underwear. I inwardly admonished myself for briefly thinking that I had chosen sexy underwear just in case Brandon should get me to take off any clothes. I was a married woman and he knew it. Of course I wouldn't accept anything more than a bit of flirting and sexy teasing with Brandon.
As my workday progressed I found myself constantly in a state of mild arousal. My mind regularly drifted back to my erotic dreams and the excitement that such illicit behavior generated. Trying to block these thoughts from my mind I prepared thoroughly for my meeting with Brandon as I really wanted to close this deal. Late that afternoon I drove across to his offices for our meeting.
Brandon gave me a warm welcome before asking me to formally present the commercial proposal. Since it was just he and I, I had assumed that we could just sit at his desk, but quickly realized that he just wanted to be able to watch me again.
