I was once an assistant teacher in a dancing academy, and although I was teaching classes in ballet and tap I also taught ballroom dancing, and shared our long list of clients with my principal.
I got quite friendly with some of these clients, naturally, as they strove for medals, and, naturally as a dance teacher, I was quite blasé when my breasts pressed sexily onto a man's chest as we danced.
I never dressed provocatively when teaching, although I was not averse to doing so when away on holiday and I was able to attend dances.
That is, until one occasion when one of my students mentioned that it was his forthcoming Firm's Dinner Dance, and, being single, he had no partner, and having obtained his silver medal he would have loved to have been able to show off his prowess.
Although he did not ask me outright I could sense that he was probing to see what my response would be if he asked me to be his partner. So, when I half-suggested it he immediately responded by saying, "Would you really? All the expenses would be on me, of course – tickets, drinks, and so on."
It was when I probed a little more deeply, though, that I realised that he worked for a national company, and that the venue would be in another county altogether! I was certainly not known there, and he said as much as if to suggest that I would be accompanying him in the guise of his girl-friend or similar.
It was only when I actually agreed to be his partner for the occasion that he mentioned that we would have to stay in an hotel for the night, but that he would pay for that, too.
It was now his turn for a surprise, for my reply was that if I would have to stay away for the night then I had better put it to my husband, although, I reassured him, I doubted whether there would be any objection whatsoever. Evidently he was not aware that I was married.
"Look," I said. "If Geoff does not agree then I'll destroy all his porno DVDs. That would be a real blow, but it will not come to that at all. I know Geoff well enough, and I can state here and now that his answer will definitely be a big "YES"! - Mind you, I shall have to tell him all about it when I get home again."
"Tell you what," I added. "I shall ring him here and now and you can hear his answer for yourself."
I took out my mobile phone and dialled his number, putting the volume to external. Seconds later he replied.
"Darling," I began. "One of my students has asked if I can accompany home to his firm's Dinner-Dance, but it will mean a night away from home as it is so far away. Would you mind? And I have put the external volume on so that he can hear your answer."
Back came Geoff's voice, loud and clear.
"You know what my reaction would be, so why bother ringing?" he asked.
"So that he can hear you for himself," I answered.
"Is he listening in, then?" came the next from Geoff.
"Every single word," I answered.
"Right then, whoever you are, and I shall want to know your name at the end of this conversation. Hear this. I have no objections whatsoever to Janice staying away with you for one night, but there are two conditions. Firstly, that I shall choose her dance dress and whatever else she may wear for the weekend, and secondly that she tells me everything about it when she comes home again. Now, who are you?"
"I'm Clive," said my student. "And thanks. I did not realise that Janice was married, or I might have thought twice about even considering the invitation."
"Nonsense!" called out Geoff. "You'll enjoy her company." And with that he closed the line.
I turned to Clive. "Satisfied?" I asked him, and he answered a little cautiously as he once more apologised for not realising that I was married.
I told him that Geoff and I had a marvellous relationship, and that my career was paramount to him. Whatever could advance my career was good enough for him.
Anyway, I had another student waiting his turn, and so I told Clive to get in touch with the details as soon as he knew them, whereupon he told me that the occasion was actually the following weekend, so that I would not be seeing him again before then.
So I gave him my home address and told him to give me a ring before he called for me and that I would be absolutely ready for him.
I could have guessed beforehand which outfit Geoff would choose for my "date", and I was proved right. I shall not say at this point what it was, but will wait until I come to the part of the story where Clive saw it.
Anyway, on the following Saturday Geoff packed my overnight bag and laid out my dance outfit for me to wear, and we awaited Clive's arrival.
Dead on his promised time he arrived in his company car and I slipped a light summer coat over my dress, telling Clive that he could see what Geoff had chosen when we were actually at the dinner.
An hour or so later we arrived at the hotel where Clive had booked two separate rooms. We had a quick drink at the bar, and then I told Clive that I would go to my room and change for the dinner, and that he could do the same, meeting again in the bar lounge in about half an hour.
I showered, freshened up, and made up my face once again after slipping into the dress which Geoff had chosen for me. It was actually one which he had ordered a short time ago from a selection on the Internet and one which we had been saving for "that special occasion."
It was fiery red (I always find red so sexy and enticing), halter-necked, deep plunging and backless so that it was impossible to wear a bra beneath it, and the front slip from ankle upwards was high enough yet low enough at the same time to just cover my modesty.
