I was working with a computer consulting group and one of the members of my group was a very attractive professional woman name Laura. She really had a great deal going for her, a BS in Industrial Engineering, her husband worked for one of the Big 6 Accounting consulting firms and she came from a fairly affluent background. When I hired her I had some doubts about whether she would be happy just doing software support, but she quickly became a valued employee that I relied on heavily. She had a very poised and confident manner that had a soothing effect on the other employees and when she lacked the technical knowledge to solve a problem, it just made her more determined to learn it and keep going.

The work was very stressful as are most software companies. The ever changing technology and demands of users keep the pace pretty fast. The owner of the company was a real asshole and taskmaster who didn't even trust his own brother who also worked there. He was the kind of guy that place surveillance cameras on the INSIDE to watch his own workers!!! He also didn't have a clue for any long range considerations, he was always after a fast buck. Needless to say this made obtaining some job satisfaction rather tough and we relied on each other for support and morale boasts. This also caused us to become very comfortable and intimate with one another.

Laura really seemed to talk about more and more personal things and I found out that her husband was on a prolonged project that kept him away 5 days a week and only home on the weekends.

Gradually, Laura and I began going to lunch together, we both perferredmore variety in foods than the normal "fast food" rotines. This allowed us to get more intimate with these conversations. One day, we were discussing Sex, Lies and Videotape and we were musing about what it was that appealed to us in that movie.

"Like the reviews say, its about control" I commented without much thought. "But, I found the idea of voyeurism very erotic, especially the masturbation comments" Laura replied without any embarrassment which just added to the her image of poise and confidence that I had been formulating. I found myself getting somewhat aroused and feeling a heavy attraction to her at this point.

"Well, I've always heard that sexual satisfaction comes from two things, fantasy and friction and I guess it doesn't matter how you apply the friction." I surprised myself with my candor. "Well fantasy does play a big part in my sex life, I have to with Mike being gone all the time." "Yes, you probably are the master of phone sex!!!" I teased her back. "Well, any sex is better than no sex!" she quipped back "Besides, I really like the picture my mind forms of Mike masturbating and to think that he is turned on by me!" "And I'm sure the sense of control you feel at the time adds to your excitement" She paused for moment as if caught off guard and I detected a bit of a blush, I sensed that she hadn't realized the control aspect of her phone sex with Mike.

I was also really getting turned on and there was a bit of an awkward pause as we stared into each others eyes a bit longer than normal.

"I once heard that men masturbate out of boredom and woman masturbate out of loneliness" I commented not really expecting a reply, just trying to break the tension. "Well, with my schedule and work, I'm certainly not bored, so I guess it applies in my case" Laura replied. "Besides, your mind can work very hard thinking up ways to turn yourself on."

I wanted to comment about what exactly turned her on, but I couldn't get myself to say it. Instead I said.

"I wish my wife was a bit more... imaginative when it comes to sex. I mean I really enjoy sex with her, but at times I feel as if I'm the only one trying to make things happen." And I surprised myself that I was revealing so much of my personnel feelings to Laura.

Our eyes locked one more time for a few seconds longer than usual and I felt my mouth get rather dry as the sexual tension was becoming very thick. I couldn't believe how turned on I was and how attracted I was. I thought about all of those stories about just grabbing her in my arms and kissing her passionately, but for some unknown reason I did not.

"We gotta get back." I finally said to break the spell. Laura agreed and quickly took a big swig of her soft drink. I wonder if she had a dry mouth too I thought to myself. Could she be feeling the same attraction to me?

The next couple of days were pretty uneventful, we were both too busy for lunch and the work load kept our attentions focused on work rather than pleasure. My mind wrestled with my growing attraction and wondering if she felt the same. I kept telling myself that an attractive and poised woman like her would not be attracted to a computer geek like me. Besides, even if she was considering straying every other guy in the office probably lusted after her, so what chance would I have?

Our conversations at that point took a personnal but non-sexual tone. We talked about how our parents had influenced us and about religon. She told me of some trouble with her brother and how he seemed to be rejecting the family and she felt the need to try and bring him back into the fold. During the conversation I could see that she was getting upset so I reach out to touch her hand. It was the first time we had purposely touched each other and our eyes locked. I could she the tears welling up in her eyes and she thanked me but excused herself and we returned to work without much more being said.

One afternoon about 2 weeks later I emerged from my office she got caught by the boss and really reamed out (in earshot of many people) over something that was not her fault. (He was so good at employee relations!!!). She went to her desk practically in tears. I was a little surprised by her display of emotion, (although it was justified) so I asked her into my office.

"I can't take this guy anymore!!!!!!" she sobbed I offered her a Kleenex and tried to get her to sit down, but when I touched her arm she hugged me rather strongly. "Please just hold me for a minute!!" I returned he hug and stroked her hair softly. The smell of her shampoo and perfume were having their effect and my cock began to stir very quickly. I tried to ease out of the embrace, but she really began to sob. "Laura, you know you are a good worker and our customer's appreciate your effort and work! That is what we said is truly important remember???" I attempted to rally her by reminder her of our past conversations. I finally got her to sit down, but this brought the bulge in my pants to her eye level and she smiled and looked at me with what appeared to me to be bedroom eyes. We fell into one of those long silences and the sexual tension got really unbearable.

"Maybe you should go home for the day" I finally replied to break the tension, retreating behind my desk to hide my bulge. "No, I don't want that bastard to know he got the better of me!" she replied and I truly admired her tenacity and this was really turning me on!!! "Well, let's go get a drink after work, we both need one." "Thanks, so much Dave, I hope you don't think I'm just a blubbering female here, I mean... And she started to cry again!!!!!!!! "Laura, it's not worth this..." I attempted to say "No, Dave, its not just this job, you see... I... I... I'm really starting to become very attracted to you and the tension from that along with this job is getting too much!!!!" Ohboy!!! Here it was, we finally were confronting this demon. "Well Laura, to be honest, I've very attracted to you as well" I confessed "I figured you were too when I felt your hard-on when we hugged. That's what gave me the confidence to tell you about my attraction" she replied. "Now what do we do?" I asked "I don't think either one of us wants to cheat" She smiled as if I walked right into her plan and said. "I've told you that lately I've been more turned on by thinking and watching sex than actually having sex." "Yes, so..."
