Ed noticed Krysta a few weeks after she came to work in the office. She filled a secretarial and admin assistant position that had been vacated a few months before.
Because they worked in different groups, they had little contact initially. After a few weeks, Krysta had asked for some help with a project she was working on. While she was competent with the software tools of her job, she was asked to do some things that were beyond her prior experience. It was because of this that she became a more visible focus of Ed's attention.
She had asked a co-worker how to do the new task and she was told, "Go ask Ed. He knows this stuff better than most anyone else."
So Krysta went in search of Ed. She found him at his computer and approached him uneasily.
"Ed?" she asked tentatively.
"Yes," he replied realizing she was there. "What can I do for you?"
"I need some help with this job," she replied.
"Okay. Have a seat and tell me what you need to do," he offered cordially.
Krysta explained what she was doing and what she needed to achieve. Ed listened and asked a couple of questions. As their conversation progressed, Ed's easy manner and friendly demeanor put Krysta at ease. Ed showed her how to use the software features she needed to achieve her goal and helped her get started with the task.
She took the start Ed gave her and returned to complete her task at her own desk.
Over the next couple of years, Krysta came to Ed several more times and asked questions and got the answers she needed to finish her tasks. She learned quickly and rarely asked the same questions twice. She retained the new skills she learned and used them to build further skills on her own.
Ed noted that she was an attractive woman as well as a very sweet one. Krysta was one of those perpetually happy people who seemed to improve the mood of those around her just by her positive spirit.
In fact, he began to harbor fantasies about her but never quite found the circumstances to make an overture toward the realization of his fantasies. His fantasies were further fueled by Krysta's occasional social visits to his office when she didn't need help. They became workplace friends but Ed did not find an appropriate occasion to attempt to take their friendship beyond that.
A few months later, a major project was coming to an end and it became apparent that several employees would be leaving since there was no prospect of jobs to maintain the manning level. A few days before the inevitable layoffs, there was an informal gathering also which served as a farewell for those leaving.
At this gathering, Ed finally saw what he took as the opportunity he had been awaiting. One thing that had become apparent over the time Krysta had worked in the office was that she was outspoken. She was not one to beat around the bush in discussion on pretty much any topic. She was not what would be perceived as unkind but she was direct and straightforward.
This trait was manifest at the party when someone casually asked, "Well, Krysta, how are you doing?"
She responded quite succinctly, "I need somebody to fuck me for about 2 hours."
Her answer brought a brief quiet to the gathering followed by uproarious laughter including Ed. He also mentally filed her remark for future reference.
As the gathering began to break up and people were leaving for home or other places to continue partying, the men at the party walked the women to their cars as a matter of courtesy and to forestall anything untoward happening to any of the female employees.
Ed bided his time until he saw Krysta gather her purse and things to leave. He made sure he was in the position to offer to escort her to her car.
As she bade her co-workers good night, Ed offered, "Krysta, I'm also about to leave. May I walk you to your car?"
"Thanks, Ed," she responded warmly.
She gathered her purse and wrap and waited for Ed to join her. They walked out together and strolled casually across the parking lot. Having arrived a bit late, Krysta's car was a bit far from the entrance. She was also parked in a somewhat dark area and a parking lot flood light not working only enhanced the isolation.
As they reached her car, she turned and thanked Ed for walking out with her.
Ed responded with a smile, "Krysta, I doubt your remark inside a while ago was not aimed at me but I'd be honored and delighted to be the one to attend to your needs."
She smiled and reached out to embrace Ed. He responded and they came together in a hug.
Ed enjoyed the feeling of her body against him and only wished it would last longer. His wandering thoughts also brought about a growing problem in his groin. He felt a bit self-conscious that she might feel the stiffening of his cock.
As they held one another, she said softly, "It seems you're ready to attend to my needs right now."
She pulled back slightly and looked into Ed's face, smiling. "I really need someone right now."
"I'm not going anywhere at the moment. If you want, I'll gladly satisfy your desire. Would you like to come over to my place?"
"I live closer. Let's go to my place," she said with some urgency.
