It is funny how most times in life you don't see the life changing moment when it happens, that those times are often subtle and hidden from you until in hindsight you see how the decision you made at a given moment altered the entire trajectory of your journey. Yet other times you can see the fork in the road clearly or maybe, in my case, the better metaphor would be that I saw the on rushing semi-truck that was going to derail my course coming even if I didn't originally recognize it for what it was at the time. My semi-truck was named Mary Hall and her arrival in my cubicle at the software company where I worked touched off a chain of events that I am still coming to terms with today.
It had been a typically boring Monday up to the point my boss brought the new recruit to meet me, the team lead, I remember having my back to them when they came in and when I turned being completely struck dumb by the sight of what was likely at that time the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. It was around the time that the T.V. show "Friends" had reached the height of its popularity and Mary would have fit right in with the cast because she looked like nothing more than a clone of a very young Jennifer Aniston only even prettier with swarthy tan skin and the perfect "Rachel" haircut made popular by the show. She also topped Jennifer A. by having a much larger chest whose tan wonderfulness I could just make out through the low cut neckline of her dress.
"Rick, this is Mary Hall, she is going to be joining our group and your team in particular so I thought you could show her around," said my boss.
I think a full ten uncomfortable seconds passed before I could get my brain to re-engage and I could actually speak and introduce myself.
"Hey...ah...Mary, it's nice to meet you" I said reaching for her hand, her flesh was warm and silky soft and I could only imagine what the rest of her would feel like. In my pants, my cock began to stir and I had worried that a definite bulge was going to form in my crotch area; I tried to distract myself by launching into a speech about the workings of our team and that helped a little. After regaining some control of my faculties, I took her on a tour of the department and introduced her around, trust me when I say she spun heads wherever we went and more than a few other men on the floor salivated over her before the tour was done. On my way home that night I berated myself a bit for all the fuss, I mean why I cared was a mystery to me. I was engaged to be married in ten months to a cute brunette from a local advertising company so I certainly wasn't in the market and plus Mary had shown no real interest in me being coolly professional all day.
In the coming months Mary's demeanor never changed, not just around me, but also around the company in general. She certainly drew plenty of interest from the single young men out on the floor and at times I found myself growing a bit jealous when men would come around our area to flirt with her and ask for dates, but she turned down every overture and seemed interested only in pursuing her career. That was not to say that she was completely aloof, she did join our office soccer team of which I was captain and she would show an occasional smile at practice and even laughed a few times when we would go for beers as a team afterward. I must admit that after our first practice the sight of Mary's tan, athletic body in a tight pair of shorts and a tube top had sent me straight to the bathroom that night to jerk a load of cum from my ball's while picturing her sweet body running around that field. To make matters worse I came within a hairs breath of screaming "Mary!!" one night when I came while making love to my fiancé, imagine how that would have gone over. I did try at times to flirt with her a bit, in a mostly joking way, I could not help myself I was very attracted to her even though I knew nothing was going to come of it and she never really reciprocated so I figured it was mostly just harmless office hijinks.
Everything changed at the semi-annual office team building party. I admit I had more to drink than I usually did that night and I was buzzing something fierce around mid-night when I stepped outside from the bar to get some air. Out in the parking lot I recognized Mary along with about half a dozen other members of our department laughing and milling in a circle. Mary came running over and it was obvious that she was buzzing at least as hard if not harder than me, she was talking faster and louder than I had ever seen her before.
"Hey, Hey boss man...you have to get in on this...we are going over to the office and re-live our childhood...total game of hide and seek...in the dark!" she said waving her hands in the air rather manically.
I laughed and thought, and I am sure this was the alcohol, that it sounded like an awesome idea and the next thing I know the eight of us are back at the office on our floor, which in the dark was a seemingly endless maze of cubicles, and high wall offices. After a bit of bickering over who was going to be "It" we finally settled on our office lead tech, Steve, and as he counted down we scattered like a startled flock of birds running in ever which direction. I original dove into a cubicle but after a few minutes I decided I was to exposed and with Steve's footsteps moving in my direction I made a quick getaway toward a row of high wall offices. I tried three in a row finding them all locked until I got to the last one and was grateful when the door opened. I slipped inside just a head of the sounds of movement from down the hall and looking to improve my hiding situation I went to slip under a worktable against the wall only to crash right into Mary who had chosen the same place. With a lot of giggling from Mary, we managed to untangle ourselves and sat back up with Mary pressing a finger to my lips in an admonishment to keep quiet. We waited in the semi-darkness staring at each other as Steve's footsteps came our way and then receded allowing our panic to slip away.
"I think were safe," I whispered.
"Yeah" said Mary and in the tight confines I could just catch the hint of Jack Daniels on her breath as we sat close together.
I was just about to suggest that we split up and find new hiding places when the unexpected happened, Mary, who had been looking into my face for the past several minutes suddenly reached up and placed one warm soft hand on my right cheek and to my utter amazement leaned forward to kiss my lips with hers. I am not sure I even reacted at first, between the alcohol and the shock I was too stunned to do anything, this girl who everyone on the floor wanted and who had never shown any interest in me before this moment was now kissing me in the dark under a desk! I have to say I recovered quickly and slid one arm around her waist pulling her body toward mine as I began to kiss her back in earnest. Her lips were exactly as I imagined, soft as butter, and as we rolled out from under the table with her body coming to rest under mine I felt her take things up a notch as she moved from soft kisses to pressing her tongue into my mouth, which I gladly met with my own.
For a few long moments we lay in the dark our mouths pressing together again and again and our tongues dancing as we made out like a couple of teenagers on a Saturday night. I simply could not quite believe this was happening and I thought surely any minute we were going to be caught. Just when I thought things couldn't get any crazier Mary stopped kissing me and laid back just looking up at me as I fought to catch my breath, then she made another totally unexpected move, she reached up with her right hand and started to unbutton her blouse, slowly, one button at a time. If I hadn't thought I was going to have a heart attack before I sure as hell did now, every bone in my body wanted this to happen, but at the same time I realized this was wrong and that I was about to cheat on a woman who had never done a single wrong thing to me. I felt my whole body begin to shake with a combination of fear, desire, and shame as Mary reached the bottom of her shirt, the two halves were still together and she was still covered at this point but it would take just the slightest effort to change that, for the first time since the kissing started Mary finally spoke.
"How about it Rick...do you want to be a bad boy..." she whispered and gave me a slow Cheshire smile.
I wanted to be a man of will and strong conviction, but I never in my life to that point had held a woman like Mary in my arms and I felt my willpower melt away like snow in the sun. I reached down and slowly slid the two sides of her shirt open, to my amazement she wasn't wearing a bra and underneath I was greeted by the heart stopping sight of the two most flawlessly beautiful breasts I had ever seen. I also found myself in possession of the answer to a question that had been making the rounds for months in the break room, would Mary Hall have any tan lines, the answer was an emphatic "NO!" her breasts were as tan as the rest of her, a soft cocoa butter brown color with two silver dollar sized sun kissed areola's an even darker shade of brown contrasting the rest of her silky soft skin.
"Oh my God..." I blurted involuntarily.
"What?" asked Mary?
I spoke honestly and without thinking, "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen"
