It was downright crazy. It was stupid, dangerous and sordid. It was unthinking, unplanned and unusual. It was also fucking marvellous.
I was forty-three at the time. I was married and still am, just, to a successful businessman who is away on business about as much as he is home with me. We had two children one of who, the boy had just started work and our daughter was at university. We lived in a large house in a London suburb called Hadley Wood. We were financially comfortable and led quite an upscale life-style. I had my own money from an inheritance, did some charity work, played golf and tennis and lunched as ladies do a few times a week. More for something to do than anything else, I had recently taken a part time, copywriting job in an ad agency in London.
An ideal life many would say, but I was bored out of my mind.
Oh I nearly forgot, my name is Tina, I have long, shoulder-length, black hair, I wear glasses, black horn rims actually and I have big tits.
I met James at work. He was twenty-three, hugely bright, good-looking and a junior art director. We were paired up on a number of projects, he did the design and drawings I provided the words. From the very first campaign, we got on well despite the twenty-year age gap and, after getting to know each other a little we started to flirt. PC has not infiltrated the ad industry as much as it has many others! I loved the banter in the agency and was starting to enjoy flirting with James, but also with other guys. It was a great atmosphere. All of the creative department got on well and James and I became 'partners,' a team I suppose. He was a remarkably creative person and whilst his job was the ad design, the pictures as they call it, he could write better copy than I do.
We had worked together for three months or so when we had to visit a client in Manchester where we had to stay overnight.
We dined together and then went to the half-full bar. I was a little reluctant as I did not like people thinking I was out with my toyboy. Most of the customers in the bar were businessmen, but there were a few females dotted around. As usual, James was in a tee and jeans, but I was wearing a crisp, fairly tight, white, button up the front blouse, skinny, blue jeans and heels.
In the bar, he changed, maybe it was the drink, maybe he had put some stuff up his nose or maybe it was the real James coming out. He became colder, harder, firmer, more controlling and confident. He ordered a bottle of Pino without asking me. He leaned across the table and blatantly looked down the front of my blouse. His knee touched my leg under the table and twice he rested his hand on mine. I hadn't been pulled for years and was not too sure of the etiquette or even if he was trying to pull me. I find the young of today so hard to read.
"I think it is time for bed," I said after looking at my watch and seeing it was nearly ten.
"What's the hurry the meeting doesn't start 'til twelve tomorrow," he retorted grabbing my hand as I went to stand up.
"At my age I need my beauty sleep."
"Not in my eyes you don't Tina," he went on still holding my hand.
He looked up at me and said, sternly. "Sit down and have another drink."
"No I had better not," I said as I was already feeling a little tipsy.
He pulled on my hand forcing me to bend forward.
"I said sit down Tina and I fucking well meant it," he snarled looking down the front of my blouse where it gaped as I sat down. I didn't know what to think. He had never been like this with me before. He simply stared intently at me for a few moments. It was as if there was a rage going on inside him and he was deciding what to do next. He was still holding my hand quite tightly. I looked around to see if any people were looking and a few were. I tried to pull it away, but he held onto it tightly.
"Forget them," he said without looking up.
I didn't reply or, for some reason try harder to pull my hand away as really I should have done.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"They don't matter, it's just us," he said staring deeply into my eyes.
"What's that mean?" I asked, as a shudder of I was not sure what went through me.
We looked at each other. It seemed to me that he was trying to make his mind up on what to say or do next. He smiled. I smiled back. Then, rather too loudly and probably so that someone could hear he said.
"You have got a great pair of tits Tina."
"James don't," I replied now trying to get my hand away, but he held on tight.
"Well you have and I have been ogling them ever since you joined the agency."
"Please stop," I whispered seeing two guys staring at us.
I felt odd. Part embarrassed, part flattered, part a little scared, but also, I realised to my surprise, part aroused.
"You know you have got great tits Tina and that's why you show them off."
"I don't."
"Look at them now. That fucking blouse is far too tight."
"I'm going," I said taking the opportunity of him taking a swig from his glass to stand up.
"Sit down Tina," he said coldly.
"No I am going."
"Sit down or I will tear that fucking blouse open so I and all the dirty bastards in here will see those tits," he said again a little too loud.
I decided to take a chance and walked, almost ran from the bar. He caught me at the elevators and bundled me in. It was empty. He seemed to have calmed down.
"What was all that all about?" I asked.
"I got a bit carried away, sorry."
"Why, though?"
He moved closer and put his hand on my hip. "I want you, badly," he said looking right into my eyes sending tingles through me.
"James, I am old enough to be your mother."
He replied quickly. "I'm not ageist."
That made me smile. "But maybe I am?" I said.
"But maybe you aren't," he said slipping his arm round my waist as we walked along the corridor. "And in any case that makes the idea of fucking you even more of a turn on."
I was in a quandary. How the hell was I going to get into my room alone, without causing a big scene? As it happened, I couldn't.
As I got to the door with my card in my hand he said.
"Just one drink," holding up the half-full bottle of wine.
I couldn't think of what to say and we were in my room before I hardly knew it.
He walked to the mini bar, got two wine glasses, filled them and handed me one. We were standing facing each other beside the king sized bed. It was a hugely suggestive scene.
