Marie's breasts were incontestably the most beautiful I had ever seen, including those I have seen since. By every measure of beauty they were unsurpassed: size, firmness, shape, the space between them and the cleavage that offered, the way they held firm when she lay down, the slight bounce and vibration when she walked, the size of her nipples. Everything.
So, when did I first encounter them? Well, my introduction was inauspicious. It was a dark, wet January morning on a commuter train rattling into London. Everyone, at 7.30 in the morning, was already in a foul mood. Seats were limited, passengers dripped water from raincoats and umbrellas on to sitting passengers. I managed to find a seat. Opposite there was a spare seat which a woman soon occupied, rather breathlessly and to the annoyance of the other two occupants. She was compelling but it is hard to explain why: thick winter coat, scarf, hat. All that was visible was her eyes. Every love affair with a woman begins with her eyes. But if she has beautiful eyes and beautiful breasts, you are in trouble. Serious trouble. In fact, it is a measure of the beauty of Marie's breasts that they even cast a shadow over her beautiful eyes.
So really, on that first occasion, there was so little of her to see. I kept throwing her furtive glances hoping she would not notice; I was only caught out once. She was engrossed in a book which, at one point she put down; on the front cover was a picture of a vase of roses and the book was simply entitled 'Roses.' Well - a whole book about roses!
The train stopped at a small, suburban station outside the city and she got off. I was very close to following her but could not get my thoughts together quick enough to respond. As the train pulled away I feared I would never see her again; I had been doing this journey for seven years and had never seen her before. Still, I could not wholly rationalise the compelling attraction. But the eyes, the clue was there. I sensed they were an hor d'oeuvre before a sumptuous main course. How right I was. I had to see her again. Soon.
The following day I broke with my normal, commuter's routine and got on the rear carriage, that way I could walk the length of the train after her station in the hope she would be there. She got on at the same time as I walked into her carriage. As usual there were only a few seats and once again she sat down opposite me. It was one of those awful days when the rain was relentless but it was warm as well. She moved to occupy the seat immediately opposite me and began to remove her coat. There was very little space between the opposing seats or between the passengers sitting either side of you. To remove your coat without hitting someone in the face was a fine art. To do so you had to pull your shoulders back so that the coat slipped down your arms; in doing so you had to thrust out your chest. That was when I first saw them, only inches away from me: two very large, perfectly rounded beauties, pressing hard to escape from the confines of a v-necked red top. I was enraptured. She sat down and those big, beautiful creatures obediently settled in their appointed place on her chest. They seemed to have an identity, a life of their own; they stared at me defiantly, arrogantly and I cowered; even her beautiful blue eyes and rambling blond locks seemed to pale in their wake. The power of womanhood, at that moment, seemed limitless. I felt no more than a mere man compelled to worship at the shrine of the most magnificent bosom I had ever seen. Even the woman herself seemed secondary to those spherical gems. Would I ever see anything like this again?
At the next stop the man sitting next to me got off and she took his place. Very soon, however, we approached her station. As she bent forward to put things in her bag her top moved fractionally outwards and I glimpsed, momentarily, which was enough, a merest sliver of the black lace of her bra. To the outsider this may seem merely a piece of coloured material. Not to me: it ignited an irresistible sexual charge.
I could now sense the early symptoms of infatuation. The following morning I got off the train where she did and followed her. Five minutes from the station, she stopped at a florist, took keys from her bag and went it. She owed it or ran it; it would explain the book on roses. I noted the closing time at the end of the day and left work early enough to get there before she went home.
I entered the shop and selected a bunch of her most colourful and expensive flowers. I had no idea what they were. I watched her as she carefully wrapped them. The proximity of her breasts to the flowers had some kind of symbiotic significance: two different but extraordinary forms of beauty. She walked to the other side of the store to find some tape to secure the flowers; on her return I noticed the almost unbearably erotic sight of her breasts gently vibrating against her blouse. Was there, I wondered, in all the wide world, anyway that I might one day see them unfettered, unrestrained and free? I was awakened from this dream as she finished wrapping the flowers and handed them to me.
"There you are", she said, "I hope she likes them."
So engrossed in my erotic imagination, I failed to pick out her witty comment.
"Oh yes, yes, my wife," I said, so unconvincingly that she would have instantly assumed it was for a mistress.
As I left the shop I wondered what I could do now. I could not go there every evening and buy flowers. Somehow I had to engineer something that would allow me to meet her properly. Somehow I had to see those breasts. But for the time being I was suddenly left with a huge bunch of flowers. If I gave them to my wife the shock could kill her; or worse, make her suspicious. I had to throw them away. But infatuation was simmering nicely inside me and I suddenly turned around and returned to the shop. I walked in at great speed, marched up to the counter where she was arranging flowers in a vase, took out one of the flowers I had just bought from her put it on the counter and said, "That one's for you." I walked away as fast as I could before I had time to see her reaction or say anything. On the way home I concluded that at least that would be the end of this absurd fixation because I could not possibly return to the shop after that little incident. The next day I did.
The moment I walked into her shop she laughed.
"Hello! Have you come to give me some of my own flowers?"
She smiled and was good humoured about it.
"No, I haven't. The truth is.....I didn't want any flowers in the first place."
She said nothing and waited for me to explain why I had come to a florist without any intention of buying flowers. So I told the truth, well part of it.
"Well, the truth is....I came to see you. I've seen you on the same train as me in the morning. And the truth is I think you're absolutely....gorgeous. There, now you know the truth. Some people like to look at beautiful flowers; I like to look at a beautiful woman. There, that's my confession."
I turned round and walked to the door but stopped there and turned around. Her face was a picture fascination about what I was possibly going to say or do next.
"Actually," I stammered, "that's not the whole confession. The truth is...
"Well?"
"The truth is I think you have the most beautiful breasts I've ever seen."
