She didn't know what she didn't know. It was that simple. Her life up until this point was as it was supposed to be - fine. She hadn't planned on meeting him. She hadn't planned to feel how she did when she was around him. Yet, there she was, sitting next to him as he drove them back to work from lunch.
"What was she doing," she continued to ask herself as they talked. She turned and smiled at him. They were talking about an e-mail he has sent her the night before - an e-mail story about her, about them being together. And the discussion was causing her to grow warm.
Trying to adjust herself, she crossed her legs. Wearing a skirt, her bare knee was close to his hand as he adjusted the radio. Finding a station he liked, his hand hesitated briefly, and then rested on her knee. His thumb rubbed back and forth gently, feeling her soft skin. She had no idea how that one touch affected him, but for her, it was how she was always supposed to be touched. It was just right.
After a blissful moment, forgetting who was touching her and where they were, she quietly moved his hand away. She knew she shouldn't like it. She knew it was wrong. Yet, a few moments later, after a reassuring glance, she found his hand and placed it back on her knee where it remained for the rest of the drive.
They'd worked together for a few months. Their relationship began innocently - coworkers who enjoyed a lunch out together once or twice a week. He'd made her feel welcome in her new job, gave her tips on their other suite-mates personalities, and helped her learn the ins and outs of the department. But their friendship continued to grow past that of normal coworkers.
They began to share more intimate details of their life. Details about their fantasies, dreams, likes, dislikes, perversions. The more they shared, the more they realized just how well they seemed to fit with each other. And the more they realized just how well they fit, the more they wanted, well, more.
Their discussions came to a peak one warm afternoon in August. They had been to this park only one other time, two days ago. That day they had walked and talked, completely enjoying their time away from the office. Deciding they could risk another afternoon after work at the park, they arranged to meet there in two days.
