The Affair: Chapter 2 - The First Time
Walter was sitting at a table for two in the quaint little cafΓ© called the Afternoon Tryst. He was perusing the menu while waiting for Veronica, or Ronnie as she preferred to be called, to show up for their lunch date. They had talked business several times on the phone, and had even seen each other in person in various meetings at the office, since that evening last week when, while they were having drinks together, she had grabbed his dick through his pants and propositioned him. At least, that is what he thought had happened. How else do you interpret a woman saying, "You can put this anywhere you want," while she has hold on your prick?
Since that event, Walter had been confused, excited, conflicted, and flattered. He thought of himself as a happily married man. Granted, he and his wife have been having some issues over the past year, and their sex life had become less and less frequent, and more obligatory than romantic. Nonetheless, he had never imaged, ever, that he would cheat on his wife. Yet here he was about to have lunch with a bold and confident woman who was both gorgeous and intelligent. He still wasn't sure if he was going to tell her "No, he couldn't pursue a sexual relationship with her" or "Yes, he was willing to have an extramarital fling."
Ronnie arrived about 5 minutes after Walter. She was about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and although she could be described as petite, she was curvy. The black skirt she was wearing was tight and ended several inches above her knees. Her silk blouse was a pink and black art deco inspired print. Its tailored fit nicely showed off her sizeable breasts. She looked elegant. She smiled when she saw Walter sitting at the table.
"Hello there. You look luscious as ever," Ronnie said mischievously. "Did you consciously or unconsciously choose a cafΓ© called the Afternoon Tryst for us to have lunch?"
"Uh... unconsciously," Walter replied. "It's within walking distance of the office, yet far enough away that any of our coworkers are unlikely to be here. Although, I've been here often enough over the years, the double entendre of the name didn't dawn on me until just now."
"Indeed." Ronnie accepted the menu Walter offered her and asked, "So since you've been here before, what do you recommend?"
They talked about the menu selections and then ordered their food. Their exchange felt strained to Walter. Sure, they were just talking about ordinary things - what was happening at the office, what music they liked, and the weather. The weather is always a safe topic of conversation. But there was that large elephant in the room waiting to be addressed.
Finally, Ronnie broached the subject. "What are your thoughts about what I told you last week at the Green Door?"
"You know, Ronnie, I am a happily married man and..."
"Indeed," Ronnie interjected. "Do happily married men have drinks in dimly lit bars with women they hardly know? Do they let said women massage their thighs and grab their crotches while having a risquΓ© conversation? I do not think you are as happily married as you profess. In fact, I think that you would love to take me up on my suggestion."
"I, ... I, I think you are right," Walter stuttered. "I'm excited at the thought, but nervous. I've never done this before. Never even thought about it. I'm very flattered that you, an intelligent, gorgeous, successful, and sexy woman, would want me. Would want to have sex with me."
Ronnie beamed her sunny smile. "Don't sell yourself short, honey. I also find you attractive, knowledgeable, accomplished, and yes, sexy. So, I was thinking that we could get together next week after the big regional office summit. I know that you will be busy giving a presentation, but I am not required to participate. I'll book us a hotel room for the afternoon and you can join me after your presentation. You can relax and I can guarantee that you will decompress. If you take my meaning," Ronnie snickered.
Walter looked at her with wide eyes and, while still feeling conflicted, agreed to her plan.
One week later.
Walter finished up his presentation at the regional office summit and checked his phone. There was a message from Ronnie that merely read "10:43 AM." She had told him that she would book a room at the Airport Hotel with her member points and that she would text him the room number. Walter had butterflies in his stomach at the thought that he was actually going to do this, cheat on his wife. And the subterfuge of giving him the hotel room number in this manner seemed to both calm him and excite him.
