The New Girl & The Christmas Party

I'm not really a big believer in "having a good feeling," whatever that means, but there was something in my mind that told me Thursday was going to be an incredibly significant day in my life. I normally ignore that type of intuition because it isn't really tangible or based in, well, anything. But on this day, I felt upbeat, like maybe things were about to turn a corner and my rut would finally be broken. I had no idea what exactly that would entail, but I was always one to roll with the punches. So, off I went setting about my day.

This day was no exception. I threw on my favorite get-up - navy blue button-up, tan corduroys, belt and black dress boots - splashed on some cologne and headed out the door, stopping at my favorite bagel shop on the way for breakfast and coffee. As I rolled into the parking lot and cleared security, I checked my iPad for the day's assignments. As a facilitator, my job changes on almost a daily basis. There's no routine, no set targets or goals, other than to make things flow better for the company, and that gives me a lot of leeway as to how I operate, with whom I connect, and where I travel. I'm based out of Phoenix but travel all over the country as needed. For the winter months, though, I'm sure glad they keep me close to home. Taking home great pay and not having to deal with snow is really the way to live. The fact that I actually enjoyed what I did was really just icing on the cake.

It was a good thing that I enjoyed my job; work was the best part of my life, really. Home had become increasingly less than stellar, especially over the last couple of years. I love my wife and kids, more than just about anything, but there was something that just was not working. There was always stress, some sort of drama, or the like - and most of that ended up with me wearing it. The moments where she and I could be truly alone together were few and far between, and usually she was too stressed or tired to make that time worthwhile on any level. It was like she just wasn't into me in that way anymore, for some reason or another, and I couldn't understand why. I hadn't changed much over the years. At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, I had a solid build that I worked hard to maintain with a toned and strong physique. I enjoyed the same things I always had, and I did the same things that I always did. Maybe I had gotten boring, but I thought stability and routine was a good thing? I just couldn't figure it out. That frustration spilled over into many aspects of home and had me seeing escape in my work. Again, I was fortunate to do something that I enjoyed, and something that would keep me plenty occupied.

This week, my primary assignment was to make sure the new project manager was adjusting well to the new office and to assist if there was anything she needed. I hadn't met Sophia yet, but the company had dropped a lot of money to get her to Arizona, so I knew smoothing her adjustment was a top priority. I gathered whatever paraphernalia I could think of that would help - even the internal memo about the following night's Christmas party - and headed upstairs to Sophia's office to introduce myself.

As I neared the door to her office and looked through the adjacent window, I stopped dead in my tracks. There she was, standing next to her desk, almost allowing me to behold her. I'm not a guy who will go drooling over people in general, let alone my colleagues, but I had been rendered helpless and speechless. The well-done-up hair, the shortish skirt, and the top, my god the top! It perfectly hugged her figure and accentuated what looked to be a magnificent set of breasts. Project managers are usually all brains and no beauty, but damn if this one wasn't hot. Almost a perfect hourglass figure; I'd have guessed 34-26-34 or thereabouts. I couldn't help but stare. Fortunately, she was fixated on something hanging on the wall near her desk and didn't catch me drinking in the view. I quickly gathered myself and, having taken a deep breath, knocked on the door.

"It's open," she said, without turning to see who was demanding her attention. My hand slipped on the doorknob on the first try, and I silently cursed at myself as I opened the door on the second attempt.

"Sorry to disturb you, Sophia, but the bosses wanted me to check in with you and make sure everything was going smoothly in your transition to the - "

"So they send in the eye candy as my first project, is that it?" What a ball-buster, I thought to myself, before she laughed and smiled warmly in my direction. "You must be Drew. The bosses let me know you'd be headed my way as the welcome committee. So far, so good, so you're off to a good start. Let's sit down and get acquainted, hm?" she asked, but I was pretty sure she had taken the time to survey me head-to-toe before speaking.

I readily obliged and quickly took a seat. The next few minutes were a blur, almost like I was on autopilot. Hopefully by sitting down, I managed to hide my rather obvious arousal at her appearance. I told her this was a great company both to work and to play, and casually mentioned that This was like an out-of-body experience. Did I really essentially ask her as my date to the company party? It was as though I had lost control of my faculties for a few minutes and acted purely on instinct. My mind told me I needed to leave before I did something really stupid right then and there. As I stood up to head back to my desk, though, I winked and told Sophia I was looking forward to our "date" for the following night. She laughed and went back to work as I left, a bemused smile pulling at the corners of my mouth. What the hell kind of box did I just open?

I couldn't really believe how I had behaved in her office just then. It felt so natural, but that's totally not me. I'm a married man, and I was all too obviously flirting with the new woman in the office. It was wrong on just about every level. And still, she hadn't bashed my face in, figuratively or literally. I thought to apologize the next time I saw Sophia, but maybe I should just leave well enough alone. And really, there was a deep part of me that didn't feel that sorry about any of it, which was perhaps the most confusing thing. I replayed the encounter in my mind for most of the workday, feeling fortunate that there wasn't much to do that day because I wasn't going to be terribly productive as it was.

On Friday I rolled in like normal, and set about my business for the day. I had a few menial tasks, and with the company party happening that evening there wasn't going to be a lot of efficiency. As I had done the previous day, I checked in with Sophia to see if there was anything she needed. She replied by saying she was taking off early but would be back in time to take off for the shindig that night. I started counting the hours until we could take off for the party, and made sure to text my wife and tell her I was a designated driver so it was going to be a very late evening for me. Then I pushed ahead and cleared my task list, bar the one standing task: making Sophia's transition as smooth as possible. Like every other task I was presented with, I was determined to jump into it as if my very job depended on it. And really, my mind told me there wasn't much I wouldn't do to make sure I fulfilled the task.

Not long before quitting time, Sophia strolled past my desk on the way to her office. I was putting out a last-minute fire that had popped up between a couple of contract negotiators in Vancouver, and as soon as I wrapped up the phone call and started to fire off an email, her voice broke the relative silence. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, hm?" I hadn't expected to be interrupted, so I jumped, startled by her interjection. That, of course, made her laugh at my jumpiness. I blushed a little bit and wheeled around to answer her, but I was stopped before I could get a word out. If such a thing were possible, she had outdone herself with her Friday evening get-up. She was even hotter in evening wear than in the outfit she had picked on her first day. My eyes widened a little as I beheld her, before I offered some lame excuse about needing to finish up this email and then I would be along. Whether she picked up on my being flustered, she didn't say. I finished the email I was working on and clicked send, then got up from my desk and grabbed my jacket. "Thanks for waiting. Shall we?" I said.

Courtesy of the Vancouver problem, we were the last two to arrive at the party a bit after 7. We were late, but still plenty early for the type of function my company ran. With food and an open bar at the rented-out entertainment center, it would be at least six hours before the last people started thinking about going home. This night was going to be an exercise in patience and perseverance, if for no other reason than the amount of people to whom I'd have to introduce Sophia, and the amount of time it would take for her to get an idea of the type of people she was working with here in Phoenix. Fortunately, we got most of the work-related glad-handing out of the way early and could settle in to relax and enjoy the evening. A group of us played a round of mini-golf and then headed back inside to play some cards and generally shoot the breeze. Before we knew it, it was approaching midnight, and the first folks were starting to head out into the brisk night air.

After introducing her to everyone, I had turned Sophia loose to enjoy herself. She played a few hands of cards but kind of flitted around from place to place, taking it all in, and reloading her drink at least a couple of times. As some folks began to leave, she sat down again to play some cards with us. About half an hour later, she signaled that she'd had enough and was ready to leave. As I was her ride, and her de facto personal assistant, that was my cue to bid the guys adieu for the evening and get her home.

The ride to her downtown loft complex took about twenty minutes, during which we chatted about her impressions of Phoenix, of the office and the co-workers, and of the party we had just attended. It seemed like she was settling in well and enjoying herself in general, and she certainly had enjoyed herself this evening. The party was a rousing success; even those who typically bitched about something hadn't found anything to complain about - yet. And folks had gone out of their way to make Sophia feel welcome, and that contributed to an overall positive vibe that was usually there, but not this strong, at company functions.

It really had been a good night, and as I wheeled into the parking garage for her complex and pulled up to the curb, I started to say goodnight and to have a great weekend when Sophia put her finger across my lips as if to silence me.

"I think you should park and come upstairs with me."

I was taken aback. I knew exactly what that entailed, and my mind started racing. This was the Rubicon, and I found myself looking for a way out. Or was it more offering her an out? In any case, I started to give a reason why I shouldn't when she thrust her lips against mine. Her mouth felt so soft against mine, and I felt my lips part slightly, inviting her tongue into my mouth. After what felt like an eternity, but was probably only a few seconds, I broke away and said, "We shouldn't. This is probably the alcohol talking."

Sophia laughed and shook her head. "I might be a bit buzzed, but I know how you looked at me, both yesterday and today. And you know how I looked at you. I also know you're a good guy who isn't getting it at home. And that's her loss. Now park the car and come up with me. Nobody will know but us."

Hot damn, she'd read me like a book. I had no reason to refuse other than sheer willpower, and she had successfully torpedoed that. I gave it about half a second's thought. She was right; I had said it would be a very late evening. As long as she was true to her word, nobody would know. For me it wasn't the alcohol talking; it was the testosterone and the straining bulge in my pants that I could no longer suppress. I parked the car and we headed to the elevator, going up to her flat on the 23rd floor.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Sophia snaked her arms around me and again pressed her lips to mine. I spun her around and pressed her back against the elevator wall, continuing this passionate kiss. Her leg hooked around mine as I reached up her skirt and cupped the cheek of her butt. We felt the elevator come to a stop and broke the kiss and embrace, catching our breath for what was bound to come now. As the doors opened, she sprinted toward her room while I gave chase, like the two stupid young lovers in heat that we were in that moment.

We got into her flat and she locked the door behind us before practically tearing at my clothes. The shirt went quickly, and then she led me over to the couch and pushed me down onto it, getting on her knees on the floor right in front of me. She deftly unfastened my belt and unzipped and pulled down my pants, allowing my cock to spring out in her view for the first time. It wasn't massive, but at six and a half inches and a good girth I could definitely hold my own. She chuckled gleefully at the sight of it, wrapping her hand around it and beginning stroke. I sighed and bucked my hips slightly as she worked my rod with her hand before bringing her head down and licking and sucking the head. Soon my entire dick disappeared into her mouth as she bobbed up and down on it, using one hand to massage my balls as she continued to suck me greedily.

Sophia stopped and removed her shirt, skirt and bra to reveal nicely manicured nethers and a set of breasts that was every bit as spectacular as I had thought they were the first time I laid eyes on her. They were firm, perky and oh-so ready for me to have some fun. Before I could, though, she took them and sandwiched my cock with them, stroking up and down in a manual tit job that drove me insane.

I pulled back and led her to the bedroom, where I pushed her onto her back and began playing with her nipples with my fingers, rubbing and pinching until they became erect and even more sensitive. Then, still playing with them, I positioned myself between her legs and began searching out her clit with my tongue. Her scent was intoxicating, and her taste was sweet. I found her clit without much difficulty and began licking and sucking on it.

"Oh, fuuuuuck!" Sophia squealed as I continued to suckle her love button and drove her toward climax. Her hips bucked against my face, spreading her juices all over my lips and chin. She screamed again as I felt her reach her orgasm, her hips thrusting wildly against me as I continued to lick and suck her clit as she went over the edge. "Oh, God, I need you inside me NOW!" I needed no second bidding as I pulled my face away from her pussy and readied myself for what was next. I didn't spare a thought for anyone or anything else. There was no going back now. Sophia turned over onto her hands and knees and backed toward me, achingly begging for me to fill the void inside her tight, spasming cunt.

I gently grabbed her by the hips and positioned myself behind her, easing the head of my cock into her wet, waiting depths. She grunted lustily as I eased further inside her, until I was all the way in. I waited a second for her to acclimate to my fullness, then began thrusting rhythmically. Her warmth felt so good and inviting, it was all I could do not to come on the spot. I slowed my thrusting, and she began grinding herself against me instead. Eventually I stopped altogether and let her rock forward and backward, controlling the pace and depth and essentially fucking herself on me. My head was spinning with pleasure and delight as she tightened her pussy's grip on my dick and continued to ram herself deep onto it. She was milking me for all I was worth and god, was it amazing.

I felt my balls start to inflate and I knew my peak was imminent. I warned her that I was about to come but that only served to further her lust. She slowed her pace to sensual but tantalizing, only to speed it up again and demand that I give her my orgasm. I could tell she was about to come again herself, and her spasms sent me over the edge. I let out a guttural moan as I thrust forward, she pushed backward, and I unloaded my seed deep inside her. She collapsed forward and I followed suit, posting my elbows so as not to lay all of my weight on her but still enough to have skin-to-skin contact. We both signed contentedly and kissed some more. After a while, she offered me a shower, in which she joined me, to get cleaned up and ready to go home.

While I showered, I vacillated between thinking of my family at home, and this bombshell standing naked before me in the shower. What had I done? What was going to happen now?

As if reading my mind, Sophia grinned and kissed me, her hand cupping my dick and balls. "I expect to be seeing a lot more of this if my transition to Arizona is to go smoothly," she said, winking. "Our secret."

Even if I wanted to say no, I couldn't. She had painted me into a corner. But my mind immediately went to all of the possibilities of the future dalliances that were now sure to happen. She had me by the balls, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
