It's always nice to be recognized and rewarded for a good job well done but when I was told about my reward I had no idea just how great it was going be!
I had been flat out for months dealing with some problems that looked at one point to be likely to cost the firm I work for a major client and a lot of money. It would be boring to explain exactly what the work was, but between me and one of my colleagues, Rachael, based in the London head office things got sorted and all was well.
The business was more than happy with the work we had done and as well as a tidy bonus they had another surprise.
Recently approached by a training company the company had been offered a couple of places on a weekend "team building" course at a nice hotel in Cornwall. I wasn't really bothered by the idea but hey it was a freebie so I thought why not!
I had never actually met Rachael face to face but we had always got on well over the phone and swapped jokey emails and I thought it would be nice to put a face to a name. I spoke to her about it and she was really excited about it, so that was decided, a long weekend away on the companies buck was on the cards.
A few weeks later on a bright and crisp February morning I follow the signs to mullion cove and pulled up outside a great looking hotel perched right on the edge of Cornwall's south coast cliffs. The setting was truly stunning and I was looking forward to the hearty breakfast that had been promised as the start of the day's events.
I just finish checking in when Rachael arrives at the desk; on hearing her announce her name I quickly introduce myself saying how great it is to finally meet her.
After hours of talking and emailing it's not like we don't know each other and the short conversation flowed freely.
Of course at this point we obviously take the opportunity to size each other up. Rachael is not what I had imagined but looked great. I guessed she stood about 5'5 and while certainly not fat she carried enough weight to ensure she had plenty of curves in all the right places. Her dark hair was tied back and a permanent smile lit up her face.
The one thing about her that you couldn't fail to notice was that she had HUGE tits! While her chest certainly caught your eye it didn't look out of place on her and suited her well.
Our first day was spent doing daft but kind of amusing exercises involving moving barrels and climbing over things without touching the ground. Followed by a decent lunch and then a long hike across the cliffs along barely trodden pathways.
The scenery was nothing short of amazing but this was more excises than certainly I had done in a while and everyone's legs were feeling it already.
Throughout the day Rachael and I had got on like two old mates and were having a great time, admittedly often at the expense of some of the other people who either by choice or command were sharing the weekend with us. At least half of who had been given nicknames that may not have been the most complementary by us.
As the hike ended and darkness was falling we trudged back into the hotel grounds to be greeted by a blazing bonfire set in the gardens, the sea and backdrop of the cliffs still just visible in the fading light.
As the afternoon had worn into early evening the temperature had dropped and everyone crowded around the fire warming them through and gratefully taking the steaming mugs of hot chocolate that were being passed around.
It was a great end to the day, blankets had been laid out on the ground to sit on and more were piled around to wrap up in, the evening was cold but with the fire blazing it was perfect. Everyone sitting around in their groups chatting and laughing made for a pleasant atmosphere.
Rachael and me sat by ourselves putting the world to rights and just talking about all and everything learning more about each other.
Naturally when the staff came round asking if they could get us anything the drinks started flowing. A few drinks on and people started to drift off leaving just a handful sat outside with us, we covered off our life stories, her a year behind me at 35 years old, married with no kids, school, college, uni blah blah. Me not yet married but will be this time next year, doing well in my job blah blah blah. By now we were just chatting nonsense and having a laugh.
Although it was still fairly early dinner was not planned until quite late we were happy sat there with a good buzz going.
The wind had picked up and the fire died down some and we could feel the chill.
"That winds going straight through this blanket" says Rachael
"Move round and sit in front of me, I'll be the windbreak" I laughed
Rachael surprised me by doing just that, plonking herself down and leaning back against me, "You not sharing that bloody blanket?"She said.
So drawing the blanket back around us I held the edges together so we both stayed warm. There was nothing suggestive about it and we were both comfortable, carrying on chatting as we ordered another round.
Holding onto the blanket it wasn't long before I exclaimed "My hands are like ice blocks."
"Here put them underneath then" she said, grabbing my hands and tucking them beneath the blanket, "Jeez, their freezing" she laughed.
Still holding them in her hands she shocked me by quickly shoving them under her hoody "warm them up a bit" she said, again shocking herself as she placed my cold hands on her warm skin.
I knew she was just being kind but sitting there with my hands laid on the bare skin of her tummy I couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in my groin.
"Just don't go getting any ideas" she said laughing rudely bring my mind back from where it was wondering.
As my hands warmed through and the conversation continued I suddenly realised that I had started to let my fingers start moving just slightly gently caressing her, she said nothing so I just let it carry on.
She must have at least noticed and thought about it as she suddenly said, "Do you know what?"
"What?" I asked.
"You are the only person other than my hubby that has touched my tummy in over 15 years" she stated. "I'm not sure I should be letting you"
"Well it's not like I am groping your tits is it?" I laughed
"Oi, behave" she exclaimed giggling, "Mind doesn't feel like anyone is these days!"
"Really!" I said genuinely shocked, "You mean hubby doesn't play with them"
"Not often" she replied quietly.
