Rich was almost certain that Reni had just lost her virginity!

And he was right! Reni had lost her virginity. She had surrendered her maidenhead to her fiancé only a few days previously. Reni was no longer a virgin.

The great event had happened when his parents had been away on holiday, leaving him to stay at home on his own. The young couple had been out for the evening and had returned home to take the opportunity to spend an hour or two alone and undisturbed. They had spent the time kissing and cuddling on the settee and, as they had been doing for some time past, he held and massaged her breasts while she in turn caressed the stiff hardness of his manhood. This time, however, and probably because they knew they were not going to be disturbed, the intensity of their kisses and had grown to be matched by the fevered curiosity of their wondering hands. With this increase in their youthful passion she had let his fingers reach beneath the hem of her pantries. It was not the first time she had granted him access to her body but this was the first time she had allowed his fingers to remain within her for any length of time. The probing movements of his fingers had held a magical appeal that had been irresistible and had taken her to heights of pleasure she had never known before. Almost inevitably he had forced her on to her back and rolled his body on top of hers. Although she had protested at length, her words had lacked any force and she had in fact helped him to guide his solid rod within her and into the secret soft embrace of her inner body.

Initially, the feel of his hardness opening and spreading her as it had probed ever deeper within the lush encirclement of her yielding inner self had come as a shock, one that was frightening and a little painful, but this had quickly passed as she came to accept and then relish the feel of him riding high within her. His first entry had penetrated her deeply before he started to take his shaft to and from the clutch of her sheath in a series of movements that had quickly acquired a sweetness that was beyond words to send tremors of sheer delight rushing through her innocent body in wave after thrilling wave. It was inevitable that he had come quickly, spending himself inside her sooner that she might have wished but the feel of his hot juices surging free and into the furthermost depths of her inner being had brought its own thrill of dazzling pleasure and with it came a sense of achievement as well as one of having attained a new pinnacle in her life.

The next morning had seen Reni make a quick visit to the pharmacist to obtain the morning-after pill and to buy in a supply of contraceptive pills for her future use. It was testimony that she had loved the experience of sex and now wanted to have it as often as possible with the man she had agreed to marry.

This, the most significant development in her young life, became apparent from the changes in her appearance and bearing which, although subtle, were clear to be seen by anyone who knew her at least reasonably well and who had the insight to understand. Her general demeanour as well as her bearing suggested a maturity that had not been there before and there was a new-found poise in the way she carried herself. There was also a fresh self-assurance about her along with a certain air of contentment that showed in almost everything she now did.

In what was probably no more than a sub-conscious reaction to the exciting discoveries she had made, she now she seemed to be taking rather more care over the arrangement of her shoulder-length brown hair in a way that accentuated her pretty features This arrangement acted as pleasing frame for the clean and smooth complexion of her face and accentuated the almond shape of her clear brown eyes, the pert profile of her nose, the dainty curving line of her soft lips and the delicate contours of her chin with these in turn now being highlighted a little through the careful use of make-up. All of this served to highlight the warmth of her smile. She had always been known for smiling in an open and friendly way, a way that had always attracted favourable comment, but now her smile seemed to have become broader and even more enchanting.

This new-found poise also created the impression that her clothes, although little changed, were now more closely tailored to the shape of her body. Their cut now seemed to outline her figure in a way that served to highlight its hourglass shape by bringing the rounded form of her breasts more into prominence while also emphasising the narrow span of her waist, the gentle spread of her hips and the firm, rounded form of the twin cheeks of her bottom.

If this new awareness of herself as a woman had led to these subtle changes in Reni's appearance and demeanour, it had also brought a new confidence. Although she may not have realised it, she was beginning to express her femininity in rather more obvious ways - through her hair and make-up, the way she wore her clothes and, above all, in her poise and bearing. This new confidence led to a new self-awareness that meant that, for the first time in her life, she began to notice the way men sometimes looked at her. To her surprise she found that, rather than resenting their attentions, the approval she could see in their eyes was more than a little gratifying, so adding further to her confidence in herself as a woman.

Reni became particularly conscious of the way Rich looked at her. Where previously her relationship with the man she worked for had been somewhat stiff and formal, it was now more relaxed and sociable. She was pleased with this easing in the rapport between them but also enjoyed the attention he was now paying her and the way she sometimes caught him gazing at her. Occasionally she caught his eyes straying over her body in a manner that was far beyond the norm but, rather than being offended, she found it not only gratifying in itself but also more than a little exciting. After all, he was her employer, he was several years older than her and he was also married. That was sufficient to put an unspoken but insurmountable safety barrier between them but, strangely, it also served to bring an added warmth to their association which, although still obviously harmless in itself, carried an overlay of danger that was exhilarating to say nothing of seeming to be rather mature and even somewhat sophisticated.

In fact, until now Rich had always seen Reni as a modestly attractive but rather dull and somewhat colourless young woman. Her poise and personality to say nothing of her inner confidence, seemed suddenly to have blossomed in a way that expressed her femininity and revealed her to be an attractive and desirable young woman. All the changes he could see in her allowed him to guess much of what had happened to the young woman deputising for his regular personal assistant who was absent from the office on lengthy sick leave. Her new poise was distinctly appealing, so much so that it had led him to revise his opinion of her. Now, rather than seeing a pleasant but rather colourless if efficient assistant, he had come to recognise that Reni was in truth a still shy but beautiful young woman. At the same time he thought he was could identify within her the hints of a deep sensuality, obviously newly discovered, but her naivety suggested that this still lay largely dormant within her as though it was still waiting to be fully awoken and brought into full life.

Inevitably Rich ensured that they began to spend more time working together by involving her ever more closely in his projects. At the same time he introduced a new informality into their relationship. Gradually Reni found herself beginning to feel ever more relaxed in his company, so much so that they were able to start talking about other matters outside work and even exchange some laughter as their friendship grew.

Even though she enjoyed Rich's company, she was still conscious of the way he looked at her and was aware of his hand resting on her shoulder when he leaned over her at her desk or around her waist when working together before a filing cabinet. At first she found this embarrassing and mildly offensive but at the same time she also felt more than a little flattered. It was pleasing to know that he was attracted to her and the fact that he was married seemed to add a new and daring dimension to their developing friendship. If, despite being married, he found her eye-catching and alluring it was, she thought, a measure of the strength of her own beauty and that was especially flattering. Yet, despite this, she did not feel threatened in any way, rationalising that, despite the way he flirted with her, he would do nothing to threaten his marriage.

Perhaps it was because of this and because she was really rather enjoying the attention he was paying her that Reni did little to try to dissuade him from flirting with her. What was more she began to appreciate the warmth she could see in his eyes when she caught him looking at her. The way his eyes grazed over her body or dwelt on the shape of her breasts gave her a faint thrill of excitement and pleasure and she often sensed that his eyes were following the undulating shape of her bottom and the outline of her legs whenever he was walking behind her.

It was at times like this that Rich had enormous difficulty in restraining himself from acting in a way that might damage their relationship for ever. She had the most delightful bottom. It was pert but beautifully shaped with each round cheek showing as a glorious, rolling sphere, two flawless globes with no drop or sag whatsoever in their firm flesh. They could not be more perfect. The thought of holding the twin domes and feeling their muscles rippling beneath the palms of his hands was enticing beyond belief and almost irresistible.

It was only with difficulty that he managed to prevent himself from grabbing her, taking her into his arms or making a similar injudicious move but the temptation was real, especially as she seemed to be content to accept the way he looked at her or flirted with her. He was not to know that she thought he was harmless and that it was for this reason alone that she was accepting and even enjoying the attention he was paying her.

The end of the company year always meant a great deal of extra work for Rich which inevitably involved his personal assistant. It meant them having to work longer hours than normal with the need for precision being of paramount importance as they combed through the business books and the extensive computer records. It also meant them spending much more time together.

On the first night they worked until nearly nine o'clock by which time they were both extremely tired. Because of this and because it was late, Reni accepted Rich's offer of a lift home. It was a journey of about half-an-hour and they conversed easily during this time. Rich was highly complementary about the work she had done and the contribution she had made to what had been a successful day.

When they arrived at Reni's house she invited him in for a coffee. Her parents were away and she realised almost immediately that her invitation could easily be misinterpreted. To her relief he declined but, as he did so, he leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"Thank you again. See you tomorrow," he whispered, his breath warm on her face.

A faint shiver ran through Reni's body. His kiss had been unexpected and yet had seemed a natural exchange between friends. Why, then, did she feel a tremor of excitement coursing through her veins?

It was a question she was to ask herself again when she got indoors and several times more when she went to bed. It had been entirely innocent, she knew and yet there had been more to it than that. It had been pleasing and not a little exciting with a significant but surprisingly appealing overlay of danger that came from the knowledge that Rich was a married man and that she was engaged to someone else. It was an excitement and a sense of danger that grew in her mind as she remembered that, as he had been kissing her, his hand had been resting lightly against the side of her breast. The feel of his hand lying briefly and unmoving against the soft, round mound of flesh had prompted an unexpected thrill that she could still sense in her sub-conscious. It was ludicrous, especially as she was certain it had been entirely accidental and thus wholly innocent but it was still the first time she had ever been touched on her breast by another man.

Reni thought that, in some way, it was foolish to make too much of what had been an entirely innocent encounter but on the other hand, the strangely exciting thrill she had experienced in that moment could not be denied. What was more, she imagined that she could detect that same if faint glow of pleasure still smouldering deep within the mound of her breast and radiating from the area where his hand had come into contact with the flesh.

Try as she did, her mind kept returning to the incident but remembering the sweetness of the brief exchange induced a shiver of alarm. Yet this alarm was accompanied by a sense of sensual gratification, one that seemed to have on overlay of danger and sophistication born of the fact that it had come to her not from her fiancé but from someone else, another man and a married man at that.

The same lines of thought kept returning to her throughout a troubled night and it was with some trepidation that she went to work the next day. To her relief, Rich was his normal cheerful self and made no mention of what had happened the previous evening. It allowed her to relax and even to put the matter out of her mind, allowing them to work well together throughout the day and into the early evening to complete the difficult and time-absorbing task of balancing and finalising the books.

At the end of the day Rich insisted on taking Reni to a local pub for a drink and a snack to celebrate their success in finishing the work more quickly than he had expected. He told her that much of the credit for this lay with her and the skill and commitment she had brought to bear. By way of letting him thank her for her efforts, he suggested that, on Friday evening, she should let him take her for a meal at a leading restaurant. Initially Reni declined the offer, feeling diffident about going out with her employer and of being seen in the company of a married man. She was also only too conscious of her reactions to the events of the previous evening but he was persistent and she was eventually persuaded to accept his invitation.

In some strange way her decision to join him helped to relax her and she started to enjoy his company ever more as the evening progressed. He was charming and amusing and she found it easy to converse with him about a whole range of subjects beyond those relating to work. What she failed to notice, however, was that she was drinking most of the wine he had bought to accompany their snack. His excuse was that he had to be careful as he had to drive his car but it meant that, by the time they left the pub, Reni was feeling very much at ease if a little giggly.

As he had before, Rich insisted on driving her home. They travelled in a companionable silence, each enjoying the company of the other and again Reni pondered whether she should invite him in for a coffee. She had more of less decided to do so and was fumbling with her seat belt but before she could speak she felt him reach sideways towards her.

"Here. Let me help you," he murmured, his face only inches away from hers.

As he helped her to separate the two parts of the buckle their hands touched slightly but the contact was brief. Even so she wondered if she might have imagined that he had curled his fingers around hers and that she had felt him squeezing them lightly but she had not been mistaken. A moment later, she saw and felt his hand take hold of hers when she placed it on her lap.

"I've had a nice evening," he said, his face still close to hers. Thank you. And thank you for all your help in the office. I couldn't have done it without you."

As he spoke she felt him squeezing her hand and interlacing his fingers between hers. Reni made a feeble attempt to draw her hand away before instinctively and unthinkingly returning the pressure from his hand with a gentle rubbing movement of her fingers over his. Barely able to believe what she had done she remained motionless. For some unknown reason did not want the moment they were sharing to come to an end and she let him continue to hold her hand as they chatted idly about the success of their day.

Just as she had decided it was time to bring matters to an end and get out of the car he released his hold of her hand and raised his to stroke it softly against the side of her hair.

"You are very pretty, you know," he whispered quietly. "Very lovely."

Reni flushed in pleasure. It was a compliment that was flattering and unlike anything anyone other than her fiancé had ever said to her. She smiled in appreciation of his words before at length saying that it was time to go.

"No. Not yet," Rich said in the same quiet voice. "Stay a little longer."

Reni knew that he was about to kiss her. She felt a sense of panic welling up within her and yet, at the same time the idea carried with it an indefinable sense of excitement and anticipation. Apart from her fiancé she had kissed only one other boy and that very briefly before she became engaged. To kiss another man now would be unlike anything she had ever done before and contrary to all the standards of behaviour that had been drilled into her throughout her life but that somehow gave the whole idea a dangerous appeal.

"No. This is nonsense," she said, her voice quiet and a little unsteady as his face started to move closer to hers.

"Ssshhh! It's all right." His voice, although still quiet, was reassuring.

Reni had difficulty in breathing. It was as though the air was locked in her lungs partly in fear and partly in expectation. She was about to be kissed by a married man, a man older than her and far more experienced than her or her fiancé. She knew suddenly that she wanted it to happen but somehow her sense of propriety remained intact and she shook her head. "No! Don't," she whispered. "Please."

Rich's face was all but against hers. She could see him opening and pursing his lips. At the last moment she somehow managed to turn her head to one side so that his lips landed harmlessly against her cheek. Rich remained motionless, giving her time to object more strenuously to what he was doing.

Reni remained silent, her breath coming in faint gasps and her heart pounding.

Heartened by her inaction, he pressed his hand more firmly against the side of her head. Again he touched his lips against the smooth skin of her cheek but this time they remained there before starting to glide slowly over the side of her face with the delicacy of fluttering butterfly wings. The movements, lazy and muted, seemed to lack any menace even as his mouth eased ever closer to hers.

Panicking, Reni tried to turn her head away from his but the firm pressure of his hand held it in place until, at last, she felt his lips touching lightly against hers. The contact was soft and faint but their journey over the face of her own lips was distinct and unexpectedly sweet.

Despite this, Reni opened her mouth to voice a protest but, before she could speak, he seized the opportunity she had unwittingly granted him. He closed his mouth over her upper lip to suck lightly at its soft flesh before almost straight away pushing his tongue forward to let it graze lightly over the curving softness of her lips and then between them to touch against her gums.

The sensual meeting of their mouths brought a faint gasp of sheer and wholly unexpected pleasure from Reni and almost without realising it she opened her mouth to feel his tongue slither between her teeth to probe and twist until it at last found and brushed against the slightly textured upper surface of hers.

The sensation was unbelievably exciting and a thrill of pleasure ran through her body. Her fiancé had never used his tongue when kissing her. Now the feel of Rich's tongue twisting moistly against hers far within the warm cavity of her mouth along with the taste of his breath in her throat was almost intoxicating. With her own tongue acquiring a will of its own to boldly and impulsively dance freely with his, they reacted as one, he to twist his hands behind her waist and shoulders and she to lift her hands from her lap and wrap them behind his neck to hold his face tight to hers as she freely surrendered herself to the magical delight of this, their first kiss.

With their bodies straining to be together and their arms now folded tightly about one another, the kiss grew in intensity, It had a deep-seated passion that was entirely new to Reni and she responded hungrily to the darting movements of Rich's tongue within her mouth by twisting hers ever more firmly against his as their mouths and lips twisted and turned together with a mutual joy that left them both breathless.

Their lips remained in contact and their mouths open as they struggled to draw air into their starved lungs. At the same time their tongues continued to lick together until she felt him trap hers between his lips and start to suck at its sinuous form in a way that served only to heighten the exquisite pleasure she was experiencing. With her confidence growing by the minute, Reni had no hesitation in returning the deed when she felt him release his grip of her lip and push his tongue back between her lips. As she sucked gently at his probing tongue she felt him bend it against hers to stroke it over the inner face of her upper lip in a way that set further tremors of unprecedented delight raging in her mind.

In that same moment she sensed him slipping one hand from behind her back to the side of her waist. There it stayed but only briefly before inching slowly upwards over her rib cage. Reni knew all too well what he was about to attempt and knew that she should prevent him but a glorious heaviness seemed to have sprung to her breasts, bringing with it a warmth and a sense that her bra had suddenly shrunk to become too tight to contain the full mounds of flesh.

Sensing that what was happening was only natural and, holding her breath but with her tongue still teasing against his, she leaned back slightly to allow him full freedom of movement. Now she waited, her tongue becoming still and her mind concentrating only on the slow progress of Rich's hand as it eased slowly but steadily higher over her ribs until she felt it touch the side of her breast.

The contact was light and was in exactly the same place where his hand had briefly rested only the previous night. The feel of it lying unmoving against the rounded flesh brought a return of that same thrill that she could remember only too well but, this time, she knew it was intentional and that it now carried the promise of even greater pleasure to come. With a touch that was tender and remained almost weightless, it slid sideways to come to rest beneath the proud mound leaving him cupping its rounded fullness within the curve of his palm.

The feel of him holding her breast brought an incredible and exquisite sense of relief and pleasure as the weight within the flesh eased to be replaced by an increase in the heat that was already afire within them. It was an all suffusing glow of glorious delight that heightened even further the super-sensitivity that seemed to have developed deep inside the twin mounds of sensitive and aroused flesh.

Reni felt her nipples grow firm, thickening as they did so to strain against the material of her bra. It was, she knew, a response not only to the excitement and pleasure she could feel consuming her but also a physical expression of the joy she was deriving from his touch and she let an audible groan of appreciation and contentment escape from the back of her throat.

As she let free her moan of pleasure Rich murmured inaudibly in what was an undoubted expression of approval for what he could feel beneath his hand. The flesh felt full and sumptuous, round and firm yet with a surface layer of soft tissue into which he was able to press his fingertips as he started to squeeze gently at the flesh and mould its generous shape within his grasp.

Their mouths had remained in contact throughout but now the strength of their kiss resumed although with a fresh and shared vigour. It was a vigour that intensified as he moved his fingers over the curving surface to seek her nipple. Finding it he was delighted to feel its prominence and delighted as well to hear her moan again in a welcoming expression of her pleasure. At first lightly and then with increasing force, his finger pushed against the proud protrusion, forcing it back into the pillow of her breast before releasing it to allow it to spring forward with renewed strength.

With two fingers moving excitedly around her nipple, he began to squeeze her breast more tightly, testing its buoyancy as she gave him the freedom to explore at will. Impressed by its firm and resilient shape as well as by its fullness and the richness of its curves he squeezed harder, causing an exquisite sensation whose pleasure was that much the greater for being at the threshold of pain. Gratified by his embrace, by the taste of his lips, mouth and tongue against hers and by the feel of his hand on her breast, Reni moaned in the back of her throat.

Hearing this, Rich drew back a little to look into her eyes. "Beautiful," he whispered with a smile playing on his lips.

His praise was pleasing and Reni placed her open mouth against his again so that their lips were touching lightly. Rich immediately pushed his tongue forward, pressing it beneath hers to draw its tip over the sensitive lower surface until it reached her upper lip which he then sucked at briefly before repeating the action again and again. Inspired by the exquisite new delights born of this kiss, new waves of sheer pleasure came rolling over her. The use of his tongue and lips in his kisses were new to her, bringing their own thrill with this now heightened even further by the skilled caressing movements of his hand and fingers against her breast and tender nipple.

It took a few seconds for her to realise that she could return the favour in kind when his tongue reached the end of its journey and his lips were moving and sucking at her own upper lip. At first cautiously and then with ever increasing confidence, she slid the tip of her tongue against the now exposed under face of his. Moving her mouth over the sensitive surface, she drew it forward and took her own turn at sucking his upper lip.

Their movements were controlled but created a new passion for them to share. The fever within her meant that she made no attempt to prevent him from using his fingers to open the buttons of her blouse. In the state of arousal he had brought her to. Reni was almost desperate to feel him hold her breast properly without any shield between his hand and the by now hypersensitive flesh.

Moving with deliberate and tantalising slowness, Rich eased each button from its hole until at last he reached the belt of her skirt. With their mouths, tongues and lips still engaged in their intoxicating dance, he gently eased the two parts of her now open blouse apart and steadily moved his hand over the bare skin of her upper stomach and ribs to again cup her breast but this time with his fingers stroking against the bare skin above the hem of her bra. His fingers seemed cool against the heated dome with this serving only to further harden her nipples. Feeling this he gently rolled his finger and thumb over one, squeezing at it before pressing it back into the soft mound of flesh from which it had sprung.

They again groaned in unison but Reni felt a pang of disappointment when she felt him take his hand away from her breast. At first she thought he was going to move it behind her to try to undo the clip of her bra and readied herself to curve her shoulder blades to make it easier for him to manipulate the two parts of the fastener apart. Even more desperate than before to feel his hands on her naked breasts and have him hold and caress them properly, she knew it could only add to the already high intensity of the pleasure she was feeling with that seeming no more than a natural consequence to all that had gone before.

Anxiously waiting to grant this gift to him, she felt a renewal of her disappointment when she felt his hand cover hers and pull it away from the back of his neck. His hand moved slowly, dragging hers with it down over his chest to his hip and then sideways.

It was only when he pressed her hand against the hardness of his manhood that she realised what he had been trying to do.

Reni's whole body froze. He was telling her with silent eloquence how much she had aroused him and making a clear statement of his desire for her as a man wants a woman. It was intensely flattering and, almost instinctively, she found herself trying to close her fingers about the thick and solid mass and let him drag her hand over its length.

Even through his trousers she could feel its heat and its impressive hardness. A welter of conflicting emotions raced through her mind. She was electrified and curious, thrilled and impressed. She felt an almost desperate need to learn more about him and explore the virile strength of his erection. It seemed almost natural after all that they had already shared and she squeezed her fingers tightly about the thick and powerful bulk only to feel a sudden throb beat against the palm of her hand.

It was enough to bring Reni to her senses. She immediately recognised the utter folly of what had happened and felt a sense of shame at her behaviour. It was wrong and a betrayal not only of the standards she had been brought up to hold dear but also of her fiancé to say nothing of Rich's wife.

"No," she gasped, dragging her hand away from his groin and straightening in her seat. "No, no. We mustn't. It's wrong," she said more loudly as she reached for the door.

"Sshhh! It's all right. This is so right for us," came Reich's reply.

"No! No! It's wrong," she almost screamed and dashed out of the car, her hands trying to hold her open blouse in place as she ran up the drive, opened the front door and slammed it hard behind her.

Once inside, she leaned back against the door, her breath coming in short panting gasps as she struggled to come to terms with what had happened. She felt a sense of relief when she heard Rich drive away and yet this sense of relief was tinged with a faint feeling of regret. She could not hide from the fact that she had loved every moment she had spent in his arms. He had taken her to heights of pleasure she had never known before. The knowledge that she had aroused him was incredibly flattering and she had to accept that his skilled caresses, to say nothing of his kisses, had also aroused her in a way that was new and exciting. Inevitably she found herself wondering what would have happened had she not brought matters to a halt when she had but the answer was obvious and, instead, she found herself wondering what it would have been like if she had she surrendered herself completely to him known another man for the first time.

It was a thought that almost immediately brought to mind the way he had so boldly placed her hand on his erection. It had been an outrageous action on his part and one she had objected to but, despite that, she was even now still aware of a breathless sense of excitement. Flexing her fingers made it feel as though she was still holding him. The heat of his manhood to say nothing of its impressive hardness remained vivid in her memory. It was as though its shape and solidity had been emblazoned against the skin of her hand to tell her in the most eloquent way of his desire for her.

The knowledge that he wanted her was almost bewitching in its appeal, at once flattering and dangerous and yet everything that had happened between them from the moment their lips had first touched had seemed natural and normal, perhaps even inevitable. His kisses had been enthralling, taking her to new levels of pleasure whilst the feel of his hand on her breast and his fingers tweaking at her nipple - to say nothing of the touch of his fingers against the bare skin of the rounded dome of flesh - had been sweet almost beyond belief. He had stoked new fires of passion within her, a passion that she had not thought she had within her, making her believe that she had crossed a new and important threshold in her life as a woman.

The delight and excitement of her memories remained with her and it was not until she had gone to bed that she wondered for the first time why she felt no sense of remorse. After all, she had betrayed her fiancé in the worst way possible and, equally as bad, it had been with a married man, a man she had helped to cheat on his wife. She knew she should feel ashamed of herself and contemptuous of him but, try as she might, she could find no trace of guilt.

It was puzzling and ran counter to everything Reni believed in but, for some reason, she found that she could not even regret what had happened. She could not hide from the fact that the experience had been a true delight. It had opened up new horizons of physical pleasure and excitement and she felt more alive than at any other time in her life. She also felt sexually aroused as perhaps never before. Her body seemed to be screaming to her of its need, a need that was that much more acute because of the new vistas of pleasure Rich had opened up for her: in truth it was so great that she knew beyond any doubt that, if, by some sort of magic, he were to come to her at that moment, she would willingly surrender her all to him, no matter what the cost or consequences might be.

Almost inevitable the thought made her wonder what it would feel like to have him inside her and she started to guess at the sensations she might experience as he moved himself to and from her body in the timeless ritual of love. It was a mental image that brought an incredible sense of excitement and a heated glow of pleasure that had an almost irresistible charm. It was the first time she had ever thought about another man in such a way and she felt a dangerously appealing if wanton thrill that suffused her whole being until she at long last regained her senses and was able to dismiss the whole thing as a preposterous and foolish aberration.

Despite this, it was a long time before the intensity of her other feelings abated and it was only then that she began to see the true danger to say nothing of the folly of her thoughts. This and the strength of her upbringing, together with her basic sense of propriety, helped her to decide that nothing like this must happen again and that her future relationship with Rich could never be any more than that of an employee with her employer. What had happened between them had been a mistake.

Reni's resolve was set in stone. She could not and must not allow a repeat of the intimacy they had found together. Her relationship with her fiancé was far too precious to put at risk and she had no wish to become the other woman in a marriage break up. Yet, despite her determination, her mind sometimes strayed to remind her of the dazzling thrills she had discovered when in Rich's arms. They were thoughts that continued to return to taunt her at fairly frequent intervals during the night but somehow she always managed to bring them under control, although sometimes only with difficulty.

Fortunately she was feeling far more at ease by the time she went to work the next day. She was able to look back on what had happened with fondness and a complete absence of shame. It was true that she felt a lingering sense of regret to know that she would never again experience those same delights or be taken to the same heights of sensual pleasure but at the same time her determination to avoid any repetition was total.

Initially she had felt uneasy at the thought of seeing Rich again. She expected to find their first meeting more than a little embarrassing but, to her huge relief, he greeted her as he always had in the past and at no time made any reference whatsoever to the adventures they had shared the previous evening. On the other hand she did on a couple of occasions catch him gazing at her when he obviously thought she would not notice because she was busy. Despite herself, she found his attention more than a little pleasing, a not unwelcome reminder of what they had shared. Towards the end of the day she again caught him looking at her but this time he did not turn away and tried to hold her gaze. Almost unthinkingly she found herself offering him a shy smile in return. It was, as they both recognised, a silent acknowledgement of the secret they shared and the moment brought a faint tremor of subdued excitement in its train.

As Rich was to be away from the office the next day Reni had expected him to mention the plans they had made to have dinner together that evening. By now she had decided that it would be completely wrong for them to spend time together in this way and had already rehearsed in her mind the words she would use to decline the invitation. To her undisguised relief, he made no reference to the arrangement before they left work, leading her to hope and then assume that he, too, had come to his senses and accepted that it could not now happen.

Reni spent that evening with some friends but, despite the distraction, still found her herself occasionally remembering the thrills she had found in Rich's arms. The memories were not as vivid as before but they were still pleasurable, even exciting, although the knowledge that she would not be seeing Rich again left her able to enjoy these in their own right and without any sense of fear or waywardness.

By the following day she was even able to look back on the experience with a sense of remembered delight and still without any element of recrimination. Now she was able to acknowledge that the experience had heightened her sense of self-awareness to give her a new confidence in herself as a woman along with an increased understanding of the strength of her beauty. To have been able to arouse another man to the extent that he could not help but demonstrate the strength of his desire for her had been intensely flattering and, she now realised, highly rewarding as well. It was a further measure of her feminine powers and, even though she knew only too well that there could be no repetition, she felt strangely grateful for the experience.

Reni's peace of mind proved to be short lived with her sense of well-being shattered late that afternoon when she received a text message from Rich reminding her of the arrangement they had made to have dinner together and telling her that he would pick her up at seven o'clock that evening. Her first thought was to text back to cancel their meeting but for some reason she kept deferring this, justifying her inaction by trying to persuade herself that it would be rude to cancel their meeting when he had already gone to the trouble of booking a table and that it would be wrong to be so discourteous to her employer. In her heart of hearts, however, she knew she was doing no more than making feeble excuses and that she should be true to the vow she had made to herself not to see him again.

Although not normally indecisive, Reni's thoughts continued to wander widely as her mind swung from one extreme to the other. Part of her wanted to see Rich again and experience once more some of the pleasures she had found with him but her in-built sense of propriety kept reminding her quite forcefully that this would be completely dishonest and a grave mistake. Her mental turmoil was such that she became far too pre-occupied to do any real work. With her mind fluctuating from one extreme to the other and her thoughts all jumbled and confused. Her constant vacillation meant that, despite picking up her phone several times to start drafting a note to him, she had failed to make any proper attempt to cancel the arrangement by the time she left the office at the end of the working day.

Reni remained troubled and torn by these conflicting demands and her doubts were still with her by the time she reached home. It was only as she stepped through her door that she realised that it had become far too late to get in touch with Rich and that it would be discourteous as well as unreasonable to cancel their arrangement at this late stage. Fate, to say nothing of her mixed emotions and indecision, had decided that she would have to spend the evening with him.

It was as though a dark veil had been lifted from her mind. The uncertainties of before disappeared and, suddenly, she began to feel unexpectedly relaxed. As she showered and dressed and attended to her make-up and hair she found herself taking more care over her appearance than usual. At the same time she had to admit that she was looking forward with ever more enthusiasm to spending the evening with Rich. She enjoyed his company and it would be pleasant to have dinner with him but, more than that, the thought that she was about to go on a date with a married man seemed somehow extraordinarily sophisticated while the knowledge that she was doing so despite herself being engaged seemed mature and worldly wise, as though she were truly a woman of the world. The prospect of seeing Rich had become distinctly appealing, even rather glamorous, although her determination not to let anything untoward to happen between them remained firm.

Rich's timing was good and Reni was not kept waiting. His knock on the door came only a few seconds after she had completed her careful preparations for the evening. It meant that she had not been granted time to think again about what she was doing and it was with a faint tremor of excited anticipation that she opened the door to the man she was about to spend the evening with.

They greeted one another warmly if a little shyly before he led her down the drive to help her into his car. He had brought his larger car rather than the smaller one they had used previously. It was a sign that he thought the occasion was rather special and, rather flattered, she readily let him help her into her seat in his Jaguar. She was impressed by its spacious sense of luxury and its smooth but rapid acceleration. She noticed that the two front seats were separated by two armrests and a large consul holding the starter button and the automatic gear selector. To Reni's relief, she realised that it meant that they would be too far apart to allow a repetition of what had happened between them only two nights previously.

The half hour's journey to the rather luxurious country restaurant was the start of a pleasant and ever more relaxing evening. They found it increasingly easy to talk to one another and discovered that they shared a number of similar interests as well as a common sense of humour. By the time they left to return home they both agreed that it had been an exceptionally good meal and, Reni had to admit, a thoroughly enjoyable evening as well. It had been a new experience for her to dine in such style and this served to add to the sense of maturity and sophistication she had felt earlier while she had been readying herself to meet Rich.

It was in this comfortable and untroubled mood that they drove back home but the flow of conversation gradually slowed and they completed their journey in almost total silence. They were both remembering what had happened the last time Rich had driven her home and it was the first faintly disturbing moment of Reni's evening. She was grateful that they were separated by the physical barrier of the arm rests although her relief was for some inexplicable reason tinged with a faint and distant feeling of regret.

Reni found it hard to believe, let alone understand, but in some far part of her mind she knew that she would like to experience once again, if only briefly, some of the sensations she had discovered when he had held in his arms and she had found herself responding to his kisses and caresses with such warmth and excitement. The concept was foolish beyond words and she managed somehow to dismiss the idea from her mind by the time the car drew up at her front door.

The silence between them was heavy and prolonged and was broken only when they both started to speak at the same time.

"Go on. You first," he laughed.

"I was only going to say ‘thank you' for a lovely evening. I've really enjoyed myself," she said with a smile.

"It was my pleasure. I really enjoyed it as well," Rich responded. "I'm only sorry the evening's over."

"Yup, it is a shame. I've had a great time as well, thank you, but all good things must come to an end I suppose."

They were empty words, meant no more than a conversational reply but Rich pounced on them. "Well, I don't suppose we have to end the evening just yet, do we?"

The words were loaded, their hidden meaning both a threat and a promise. Reni stared at him with a new sense of alarm. All the conflicts she had battled against before returned, tantalising and dangerous, exciting and foolish, but the smile on his face was warm and seemed to be wholly lacking in any threat.

"Why don't you ask me in for a coffee? Just to round the evening off," he murmured, the same re-assuring smile on his face.

Reni was silent but her heart had suddenly started to race. She had enjoyed a pleasant evening with Rich. He had been good company as well as very generous in the way he had treated her and he was also her boss. Taken together it made it seem rude to refuse him, especially as she also had to accept that she did not want their evening together to come to an end. On the other hand she recognised only too well that it would be unwise and even dangerous to agree. There was a real danger that he would try to kiss her again yet the prospect of that happening just one more time had a risky and daring excitement that she was unable to ignore. ‘Could there be any harm in sharing a simple kiss with him?' she asked herself and, although the answer was clear in her mind, the idea was certainly appealing. After all, she reasoned but with an amazing lack of logic, he was a friend as well as her employer and it would be a way of saying ‘thank you' for the enjoyable time they had spent together. Despite this, she also recognised that the whole idea was foolish in the extreme. The danger was tangible and the risks unmistakeable, making the notion totally improper, especially given their personal circumstances, he a married man and she an engaged woman, to say nothing of the difference in their ages.

Despite all of this she found herself nodding imperceptibly and opening her door to get out of the car. It was as though she were being guided by an unseen force. It was not the response she had wanted nor expected to give but, for reasons she could not fathom, she found herself leading the way up the drive and through the front door to switch on the hall light before closing the door behind him.

They exchanged a smile, his open and warm, hers shy and nervous, before she went to the kitchen to set up the coffee machine. As it turned out, Reni's fears were misplaced and Rich behaved with the utmost decorum, even though they took more than an hour over their coffee.

The conversation between them was as relaxed and friendly as it had been over dinner and they shared a number of laughs during the easy flow of their words one to the other. Reni felt a huge sense of relief and growing safety as the time passed and he made no attempt to take her into his arm. Yet, despite this, she had to admit to herself, if only briefly and certainly in secret, it also left her with a faint tinge of disappointment. She even found herself wondering if he no longer saw her as attractive or ifit meant that he, too, had come to his senses.

When, at last, Rich stood up to leave, they made their way to the door exchanging pleasantries and words of mutual gratitude about the evening they had spent together. There had been no improper or threatening overtones at any stage, apart perhaps from the occasional and, she had to accept, rather pleasing expression of admiration she could see in his eyes when he glanced in the direction of her legs.

Reaching for the door handle, Reni told him of her gratitude for the meal and how much she had enjoyed the evening.

"I really enjoyed myself as well," came Reich's reply. "It was good."

An awkward silence unexpectedly fell upon them when he reached out to cover her hand on the handle with his. They stared at one another for what seemed an age with their hands still together. Reni knew he was about to kiss her on the cheek and knew she could not refuse such a simple gesture to seal the pleasure they had shared together during the evening. To her surprise she found herself hoping for the briefest of moments that it might be a real kiss, a kiss to revive the memories of the last time, but it was a thought she speedily dismissed as she offered him the side of her face.

Rich was not about to refuse such an invitation and bent his head forward to brush his lips lightly over the smooth skin of her cheek. It was a contact that seemed to freeze her mind and hold her rooted unmoving to the spot and she remained still and silent even when she felt him place his free hand on her hip. A short moment later his lips started to ease their way back over her cheek towards the bottom of her ear until she felt them touch gently against the flesh of its lobe. Then, slowly and very carefully, his mouth started to follow the curved line of her neck, pausing occasionally to place a barely discernible but quite distinct little kiss against the skin.

Still helpless to respond, she felt his lips come to rest beneath her chin in the hollow at the head of her chest. There his mouth remained, partly open. Reni became acutely conscious of his breath, warm and slightly moist blowing over her, before she sensed his lips pursing to place a series of faint but unmistakeable kisses, fluttering like the wings of a butterfly against the sensitive skin of her neck.

Reni had difficulty in breathing and remained silent and still even when she felt him remove his hand from hers and place it against her other hip. It meant that she let his lips resume their patient travels unopposed until they at last reached the point of her chin. Each stage of their journey was marked by a new and gentle but now far more obvious kiss in a pattern that continued until they came to brush with the gentlest of pressure against the curved bow of her own lips and mouth.

Reni's throat suddenly felt dry and she felt an inexplicable breathlessness. His lips were delicate, even feather-like, in their touch and she could feel their soft, rounded faces pressing lightly but surely against hers. She felt a zephyr of air escape from his mouth, blowing in a warm current against her own mouth. Greeting his mouth almost without her knowing it, her lips parted slightly in greeting to purse themselves against his and allow his breath full freedom to flow over her tongue and into her mouth.

Reni removed her hand from the door handle but only to rest it against Rich's chest in what they both knew was little more than token resistance. His reaction was push his tongue forward to make it trace its way lightly over the curved shape of her lips. The feel of it moving from side to side in a moist but gentle caress rekindled the glorious sensations she remembered so well from the previous time they had kissed. It was a memory that drove her to part her lips almost unconsciously beneath the soft and gently moving shape of his tongue, an action that unwittingly allowed him to press it forward, force it beneath her upper lip and rub it against her gums.

The sensation, and the memories it induced, was too sweet. With a faint sob of despair, anguish and surrender, Reni acknowledged his greeting by opening her mouth wider, at the same time pressing her face close to his in welcome. Almost immediately she felt his tongue press forward and probe deep within her mouth. The feel of its soft, sinuous shape pushing and twisting warmly within the moist alcove brought a return of that same thrills it had aroused before. It generated a new hunger, a need for more, that compelled her to twist her own tongue to meet his and, with an enthusiasm that matched his, she happily let the two supple digits roll and curl together in a damp dance of steadily increasing passion.

There was a fervour to this kiss that prompted Rich to wind his arms behind her and draw her willing body against his. Almost desperate to savour anew the sensations she had known before, Reni found herself lifting her hand from his cheat to bring it to rest behind his neck while her other arm coiled its way high behind his back so that now their bodies were bound tight against one another, allowing her to sense the full extent of his masculine strength and he to revel in the feel of her curvaceous, feminine softness.

The passion of their kiss and the intimacy of their embrace gathered pace with each passing moment. Their tongues duelled freely one against the other in a tantalising frolic that took them from one open mouth to the other in a ceaseless pattern of all-consuming pleasure. All the time their lips were moving, shaping themselves to the curving contours that each was offering so freely to the other while at the same time taking it in turns to suck gently at first her tongue and then his and then hers again.

Savouring the sweetness of their kiss to the full, they held each other more tightly, each of them attempting to intensify even more fully the glory of the moment. They remained in a close embrace when the kiss eventually drew to its end.

Taking his mouth a short distance away from hers but with his breath still warm on her lips, Rich was the first to speak,

"God. I've missed you," he murmured.

The kiss had been every bit as exciting and rewarding as Reni had remembered, perhaps even more so. His words were reassuring and an echo of her own unvoiced sentiments but she still felt a sense of guilt about it.

"But we mustn't," she whispered. "It's wrong, isn't it?"

Despite her words she felt an almost desperate need for the thrill of the moment to continue. Trying to retain some semblance of her earlier resolve, the demands being made of her by her emotional needs were urgent and could not be stilled. That, and the belief that she would be able to bring matters to an end at any time she chose, was enough to persuade her that there could be little harm in tasting again some of the same pleasure. After all, she reasoned to herself, they were both in relationships that she was sure neither of them wanted to endanger. What they were doing need not prejudice that and seemed to be no more than the mature and sophisticated behaviour of grown adults who wanted to share a few moments of rapture and delight.

Reni found Rich's mouth with hers again, at the same time wrapping her arms more tightly around him to lock their bodies even closer and tighter together. She thrust her tongue forward, pushing it between his lips and driving it deep into the moist and heated recess of his mouth. It was an action that she knew would let them both savour to the full the honeyed sweetness as well as the joy that came from the fusion of their mouths and lips, their tongues and the close union of their bodies.

In tune with her every action, Rich responded in kind. Rapidly it grew into a kiss with a fervour and a passion that more torrid than anything they had known before. He held her tightly within his arms and she willingly pressed the whole length of her body against him. It was an embrace and a kiss that had a powerful physical focus, prompting her to shape her body against his in a way that allowed her to feel the hard, muscular strength of his masculine frame and he to sense to the full the soft, sinuous shape of her breasts, stomach, hips and thighs and the luxuriant beauty of her body.

Rich moaned in delight, the groan coming from far back in his throat. It was an audible and inarticulate message but one which screamed out loud of his pleasure. Reni replied in a like manner, expressing the intensity of her own pleasure and signalling her own joy.

In that same moment of shared appreciation she felt a bulge beginning to develop and then expand against the soft face of her tummy. She recognised immediately that this was the first stage of his sexual arousal and knew, too, that it was she along with the underlying passion of their embrace that had provoked him to lose control and once more express his physical desire for her.

It was wholly unexpected, the last thing she might have anticipated. It was alarming as well as rather flattering and more than a little exciting as well. The unconscious ease with which she had inflamed his manhood into life was rewarding and the feel of him continuing to grow and develop against her brought a return of the curiosity she had known before. He felt hard and strong, warm and demanding in a way that was at once threatening and yet daring and brought with it an awareness of her power as a woman. At the same time, the hollow ache she could suddenly feel developing deep within her abdomen had a dazzling appeal in its own right, making her feel immensely gratified at the ease with which she had been able to induce such an expression of his desire.

The combined effect was scintillating. A tremor of excitement ran through the length of her body, forcing another strangulated moan of pleasure from the back of her throat. Despite this, her fear and her sense of right and wrong remained. Although it was by now very much diminished, it was enough to prompt her to ease her body back from his. Rich's reaction was immediate. With a subdued groan of frustration, he dropped his hand from its position behind her waist to clasp it tightly around the curving shape of her bottom. With a firm hold of the rounded cheek he used his strength to try to draw her back to him.

With her curiosity heightening and with new tendrils of heated excitement beginning to race through her inner-self, Reni once again felt an anxious need to feel and savour his masculine strength straining against her tummy. Her resistance was brief and easily overcome. Happily relaxing her body against his , she thrilled again to the feel of his solid rod pressing into her and felt a new spasm of pleasure to find that that its shape, size and hardness had become even more distinct. His already swollen manhood had grown much harder and larger even in that brief interval and she could clearly feel that it was still developing, becoming longer and more pronounced with every passing second.

Rich left his hand on her bottom, clasping the firm, round muscle within his palm before cautiously dropping his fingers so that they stretched down the length of her upper leg with their tips pressing surely against the back of her thigh. They were positioned close to the vital vortex of her woman's body at the point where her bottom arched inwards and the flesh of her thigh curved around to meet with her other leg. His touch was delicate and somehow seemed an appropriate accompaniment to everything else that was happening between them.

To her astonishment, Reni felt a touch of warm moisture seep free from the soft enclave of her love chute to dampen the gusset of her panties. Her guardian lips felt noticeably wet and the feel of her love juices leaking from her secret sheath induced a feeling of sheer pleasure. It was sweet enough to prompt her to rub her thighs one against the other and then to ease them slightly apart. It was action designed only to ease the slight discomfort coming from the feel of her suddenly sodden panties but in reality it served only to enhance the sumptuous joy she was experiencing.

Almost immediately she found her sense of propriety coming to the fore again, prompting her to ease her body away from his again but the excitement and the pleasure of the moment was too great to resist. It was but a momentary qualm. Rapidly overcoming her conscience and with the need to feel the force of his hardness against her, to say nothing of knowing once more the sense of power that represented, coming quickly to the fore, she arched her tummy forward, pressing it tightly against the hardness of his strident erection. Her reward was to feel a further and very real strengthening of his mast as it continued to enlarge and develop.

Rich's hand was still cupping the cheek of her bottom but now his fingers had found and were tracing the hem of her panties as they curved around the muscled firmness of her rounded buttock. In a sequence of movements timed to match the pulse that was beginning to beat through the thickness of his shaft, he used his hand to pull her tummy more tightly to him so that she could be in no doubt about the state and extent of his arousal and be in no mistake about his desire and his need for her. Following the same pattern, he continued to ease the pressure of his hand on her bottom before again pulling her back to him, still timing his actions to the powerful throb that was now beating insistently through the still enlarging mass of his heavy manhood.

As he repeated his actions, the feel of him, strong, and hard, thrusting forcefully against the soft face of her belly, provoked an increase in the fluttering hollowness within the pit of Reni's stomach. At the same time another spurt of moisture sprang free from her love chute to bring a heightened opulence to the luxurious delights that were already deeply emblazoned on her mind. His erection had grown stronger, harder and far more prominent but she sensed that its development must by now be complete and that his shaft had reached the full blossoming of its growth. It was flattering and exciting, a measure of her power as a woman and a source of pleasure in its own right, a pleasure she had no wish to end.

Unable to help herself, Reni pushed her stomach further forward towards him and began to flex her tummy muscles towards and then away from the heavy mass of his manhood, carefully shaping herself to it with little rippling movements. The response, a powerful pulse of life that throbbed through the length of him, was real and unmistakeable. With a heightened awareness, she started to time her movements to match the strident beat of the force she could feel pulsating powerfully through his solid and swollen rod.

The intensity of their kiss slowly lessened. They both sucked air into their hungry lungs but left their mouths close together to allow their tongues to graze lazily one against the other or slide easily over each other's lips. Although the intensity of their kiss had lessened the fever remained with this light meeting of their mouths perhaps even serving to enhance their passion.

To her disappointment, Reni felt him take his hand away from her bottom and slip it up to her hip and then to her waist. With a sudden haste he used his strength to force it between their close-pressed bodies. She knew he was about to reach for her breast and knew immediately that this was what she wanted as well. She felt an almost desperate need to experience again the pleasure she had known when he had held her breast the last time. In an action that was almost instinctive she relaxed the pressure of her upper body against his.

It was the invitation Rich had been hoping for although not really expecting. Reacting immediately, he made his hand travel up from her midriff and over the base of her rib cage. He faltered for the briefest moment before hurriedly sliding it higher so that she could feel the palm of his hand pressing against the round under face of her breast before he then shaped his hand to cradle her breast securely within his close grasp.

A soft moan of gratitude and appreciation rumbled in the back of his throat and she felt a return of that warm, deep-rooted glow of pleasure she had known the last time he had held her breast. It was enough to bring a similar moan from Reni as, relishing the wonder of the sensations radiating from the clasp of his hand on her breast, her fingers traced patterns through the hair at the base of his skull and over the back of his neck before she drew his head forcefully towards her and locked her mouth against his once more.

With their tongues probing eagerly and freely from one mouth to the other and back again she felt him squeeze tightly at the full flesh of her breast before he moved his finger to search for and find the hardening button of her nipple. Its tip rubbed gently over the firm little pyramid, teasing and provoking it into further growth before forcing it back into the yielding flesh from which it had sprung, releasing the pressure to allow it to swell and sprout free again. Again he pressed the firm little knob back into the lush mound of flesh, flesh that was at once firm and yielding, soft and resilient, tender and sensitive, and again he eased the pressure to rub the tip of his finger over it with a fresh force.

Totally enthralled and feeling his tongue re-enter her mouth, Reni sucked hard at its probing and undulating shape, melding her lips about his as she did so and at the same time enlarging the movements of her tummy, letting its muscles ripple enticingly against the throbbing weight of his solid mast.

Their kiss persisted with a shared commitment that was total and unrelenting as they continued to mould their bodies together with his hand continuing to squeeze and shape her breast and his fingers still toying with her nipple.

When this kiss reached its natural conclusion, they remained held their bodies close with their cheeks together and heads resting comfortably on each other's shoulders. They both felt a sense of contentment in the continuing contact of their bodies and a mutual delight as well as a shared thrill from the sheer sensual excitement they were finding together.

Rich was the first to move. He stepped back a pace and rested his hands on her hips. Reni dropped her own hands from his neck to his biceps. They smiled at one another, she rather shyly and he reassuringly. Very slowly he slid his hands up from her hips and on over her ribs before bringing them to the front of her body at a point a little beneath the swollen form of her breasts. They looked at one another with the same smiles on their faces with both knowing all too well what was about to happen.

Slowly but deliberately he moved his hands higher for each one to at last take hold of one of her breasts and clasp it in its own sure but private embrace.

"Mmmm! Lovely," he whispered.

Reni smiled her pleasure as his hands moved over and around the curvaceous domes of her full breasts before he directed his fingers to her already distended nipples. This time the pleasure she felt was doubled as she let him tease and toy with the twin bullets that were by now straining against the tight constraint of her bra and protruding visibly through the tightly drawn material of her blouse.

They kissed again but, where before there had been a fervour and an intensity, this kiss was gentle and yet somehow had a new potency about it. With Rich's tongue grazing softly beneath her upper lip and hers rubbing lightly against its textured under face, she wound her arms behind his neck again and deliberately stepped closer to arch her stomach forwards and press her tummy against the solidity of his rod which she had been fascinated to note straining against his trousers.

Abandoning herself to the exquisite sensations that were devouring her conscious mind, Reni thrust her tongue against his to begin a sinuous dance of pleasure that continued when she chased his tongue back into his mouth. Faint whimpers of pleasure emerged from her throat to be echoed by the little moans she could hear rumbling from his throat.

Bewitched by all that was happening, she offered no resistance when she felt his fingers tugging at the buttons of her blouse and thrilled to the feel of his fingertips rubbing against the bare skin of her breasts as they traced their way along the hem of her bra.

With a surprising certainty she knew that she wanted him to release the suddenly tight constraints of the cups of her bra. It would, she knew, ease the heaviness building heatedly within the proud mounds of flesh and that the feel his hands upon her bare breasts could only ease the tension within them while at the same time bringing a new level of delight.

Inevitably it meant that she made no attempt to prevent his fingers from making their way slowly down towards her waist, their scissoring movement rapidly freeing the buttons from the holes that held them imprisoned. As her blouse fell open he returned his hands to her beasts, cradling them within his palms to squeeze gently at their full form with his fingers moving slowly over the soft, smooth and rounded flesh above the hem of her bra.

The caress was tantalisingly brief. He lowered his hands again to tug her blouse, freeing it from the belt of her skirt and easing his way behind her back to loosen the white garment completely before sidling his hands upwards over the skin of her back, rubbing gently at each separate bone of her spine as he did so until he eventually reached the strap of her bra. There they lingered briefly before he eased them along the narrow band until he found the clip that held it in place covering her breasts.

It was as she felt him pulling at the small clips in an attempt to loosen them that Reni was overcome by a moment of sheer panic. With a sudden horror she remembered her fiancé and the fact that Rich was married and knew that this was foolish as well as wrong. It no longer seemed sophisticated and mature but an affront to their loyalty to their partners as well as a complete betrayal of trust that was alien to everything she had been brought up to believe.

"No! No!" she cried, her voice hoarse and her mouth dry. She broke away from his arms, clutching her blouse back about her body as she turned away from him to run blindly back into the lounge.

Leaning forwards over the back of the settee with her hands on its backrest and with her mind in turmoil, she sensed that Rich had followed her and was standing close behind her.

"Go! Go!" she croaked again. "This is so wrong. It must stop. Now!"

Rich remained silent and gazed with admiration at the figure of the beautiful young woman standing before him. Wisely he gave her time for the panic within her to diminish but said nothing and remained still.

At last he saw that her shoulders were no longer heaving and that she seemed to be breathing with a degree of normality again. Although she was still bent forward with her back to him, he took it as his cue.

Stepping quietly forward, he rested his hands one on each of her hips. Reni flinched in surprise and shook her head. "No! Please go!" she said but her voice was now little more than a whisper.

"Ssshh! It's all right, my darling," he whispered into her ear.

Whether it was the tone of his hushed words or his use of the reassuring endearment, but Reni felt the tension flowing from both her body and her mind. His hands resting on her hips no longer seemed threatening while the feel of his breath against her ear had a scintillating charm. Feeling his hands slipping around her waist, she slowly straightened herself, standing upright within the comforting embrace of his arms to let him draw her back against him.

As she began to rest back against him she immediately became conscious of the force of his manhood pressing solidly against her bottom. Its solidity was undiminished and the throb she could feel beating within it made it seem even more potent. It was exciting and thrilling, flattering and rewarding, so much so that she unthinkingly repositioned herself so that she could feel its length resting heavily within the valley between the rounded cheeks of her backside.

After a brief moment to savour the feel of his arousal and relish everything it implied, she started to clench the muscled domes of her bottom to match the regular pulse of its movements. It seemed an entirely natural response, both an acknowledgement of his desire for her as well as a recognition of her own gratification to say nothing of providing an additional; and new thrill in its own right which expressed itself in another faint seepage of warm moisture against the crotch of her panties.

Feeling increasingly relaxed, Reni bent her head sideways to give his mouth freedom to kiss her neck and suck lightly at the lobe of her ear as they again lost themselves in their own private world. They remained in that same position for what seemed to be an eternity, he kissing her neck and she undulating her bottom against his erection in a sinuous sequence of shared movements.

Encouraged, Rich slipped his hand from her midriff and over her bare waist until he was able to take hold of each breast within his grip again.

This time there were only the cups of her bra Reni between his hand and the skin of the twin mounds but she felt no sense of threat, only one of pleasure, none of fear or danger but only of relief and anticipation instead. She knew that she was wanted him to complete his exploration and release her breasts from her bra. The prospect of him holding their bare flesh within the warmth of his palms with his fingers teasing the firm bullets of her nipples was almost irresistible.

Waiting impatiently for him to move, she at last felt his hands release their grip on her breasts and make their way behind her back and on to the clip of her bra. She arched her shoulder blades slightly, making it easier for him to complete his mission. Almost immediately she felt an easing of the tension that had been growing within the two mounds of full flesh along with an incredible sense of freedom as the tight constraints of the two cups of her bra fell away from her breasts. It had been as though her breasts had grown too large for her bra but now the sense of freedom together with the promise of what was now to follow had a refreshing promise that serve only to enhance the rich glow burning within the twin domes.

To Reni's relief, Rich was quick to release her bra to leave it hanging loosely from her neck as his hands reached around her to rest them upon her waist and drag her back against him so that she was once more standing in the comforting security of his arms. Almost immediately she felt the hardness of his erection burning once more against the inwardly curving walls of the cleft of her rounded buttocks and gently undulated her bottom against it to savour its heat, solidity and strength, It was telling her of the force of his desire, a desire that she was beginning to realise that she shared.

With his lips kissing the side of her neck and his tongue occasionally teasing the lobe of her ear, she continued to manoeuvre her backside against the strident length of his manhood, enlarging her movements to emphasise the feel of it throbbing against her. With bated breath she waited for his hands to move from her waist and felt a sense of growing anticipation as they slowly slid upwards to pause immediately below the point where her breasts arched away from her body. The hesitation was no more than a brief interlude and he quickly moved to encase her naked breasts within the palms of his hand, holding them gently as he cupped them. It was almost as though he were weighing them in his hands. Impressed by their delightful curving shape and full form, he squeezed the two mounds, at first gently and then more tightly as he tested the resilience and thrilled to the feel of the smooth skin against his hands.

Reni felt an intense burst of pleasure, the glow within her breasts developing into a molten furnace of unbelievable delight that grew even further as she felt his fingers touch against the jutting little pyramids of her hard nipples. The joy coming to her from his caress increased yet again as he crushed the two protruding bullets back into the curving bower of flesh from which they had sprung only to let them once more leap forward for him to then rub vigorously at the projecting knobs of sensitive flesh.

Although the sweetness of the sensations coming from hands and fingers roving freely over her breasts was delightful in its own right, her next, sudden action was wholly unexpected and even took Reni herself by surprise.

With a quick, unthinking movement, she bent her arm behind her, leaning slightly forward to give it room, and rested her hand against the solid length of his erection. Its heated form and impressive hardness was apparent even through his trousers and she was overjoyed to hear a whimper of pleasure come from Rich's mouth as his lips continued to lay little kisses along the side of her neck.

Reni was always to wonder what impulse had made her take such a bold step. She was never to regret it though and knew that this was the moment that marked her final farewell to being a girl and the start of her life as a proper and complete woman, a sophisticated and beautiful young woman who was prepared to acknowledge and respond to her own sexuality and needs. It was a moment she was never to regret and she was for ever to be grateful that she responded so readily to an instinct that was to shape her future life.

It was also Reni's moment of commitment, a recognition of what was to happen between them and a token of her agreement and of her readiness for him. Having taken hold of his manhood as she had, she knew there could now be no further resistance, real or token. It brought an incredible sense of relief in its train .Every last vestige of her conscience had disappeared to have been overtaken by an urgent recognition of the importance and immediacy of her own desires.

Now Reni tried to close her fingers around the thick mass of his manhood but his trousers made this difficult and, instead, she ran her hand along its length in an attempt to gauge its size. Its solidity was impressive as was its strength and she felt impatient as well as curious to learn more about it and to compare it with the only other man she had ever known in this way.

Plucking up the courage to learn more about him and readying herself to direct her fingers to the head of his zip, she instead found herself responding to the pressure of his hands and obediently turned to face him. They looked deep into one another's eyes with a mutual understanding before placing their mouths together in a kiss that was at first feverish with their tongues twisting and coiling together before the intensity lessened and their lips were left resting close together with the tips of their tongues making but a gentle contact one with the other. At the same time Rich used the weight of his body to force her to take a step backwards so that the cheeks of her bottom came to rest against the back of the settee behind her.

Recognising all too well what was happening and with her heart pounding, Reni forced her tongue far into his mouth and rolled it greedily over the surface of his. As she did so, she felt palm touch against her thigh and slip down over her skirt towards its hem stretched tight across her legs above her knees. In a single smooth action, he stroked at the point of her knee before pushing his hand under the hem of her skirt so that its palm lay flat against the rounded bone of her bare knee.

With bated breath she waited for Rich's next move. Without her realising it, he was gallantly allowing her the opportunity to object and reject him if she so wished but, impatient to take matters further, she took the initiative and pushed her hand between them to again take hold of his solid reaction. Even through the restraint of his trousers he felt impressively hard, prompting her to move her hand eagerly along the length of it before bringing her fingers to the head of his zip. Readying herself to drag it open and plunge her hand inside to search for and discover for herself the pride of his manhood, she paused her movements at the feel of him easing his hand slowly but deliberately in a sliding motion over the smooth skin of her lower thigh.

Rich's hand moved slowly up the length of her thigh, its fingers stroking gently at the silken smoothness of its skin as they traced their way over the gradually widening pillar of flesh and followed the contours of the broadening muscle. It came to rest some short distance from the uppermost point where her leg merged with the trunk of her body. Moving with delicacy and caution, he stretched a finger out to brush it against the soft flesh at the head of her thigh, running it slowly but enticingly in a circular pattern against the ultra-sensitive surface.

Parting her legs a little to open herself to his daring caress, Reni was enthralled to feel the sweetness of a further release of her love juices. Marvelling at the sensations now running freely through her body, she pulled his head against hers to kiss him again, this time with a subdued but demanding passion that expressed itself in the way her tongue probed far into his mouth to dance feverishly with his.

The continuing caress of his fingers, soft and gentle, easy yet carrying a sweet promise of its own, served only to heighten even further Reni's self-awareness and the strength of her own desire. In a bold and impatient response, she dragged his zip fully open before plunging her hand inside his trousers to clasp her hand around his mast. Although still encased within the taut stretch of his briefs she was able to sense its power more fully as well as gauge its size more clearly but it was not enough for her. In a hurried movement. She dragged the band of his briefs down and grasped the naked might if his erection within the eager grip of her hand for the first time.

Its strength and hardness was impressive. It felt heated against the palm of her hand and Rich moaned out loud. The force of their kiss lessened although their lips and tongues remained in contact in a joyous expression of mutual delight as Reni let her fingers wander inquisitively along its length. Instinctively she found herself wrapping her fingers around its girth to encompass it within her clenched fist. It seemed to be thicker than her fiancé's and she had to stretch her fingers wide to fully contain him before she started an upwards and downwards movement of her hand in an action that took her from the solid thickness at its base to the round, velvet tip of his helmet. He also seemed to be slightly longer than the only man she had known before and she grasped the plum of his glans within the palm of her hand to squeeze lightly at its shape before again dragging her fist down to its base.

It was a series of actions she repeated, drawing another faint moan from Rich's mouth as she did so as they took it in turn to suck and nibble at the lips of one another with their tongues moving sinuously together to meet and lap in a joyous expression of their shared passion.

Gradually the fervour of their kiss began to intensify again. Equally gradually, Rich pushed his body hard against hers, forcing her to lean backwards against the back of the settee until the cheeks of her bottom rested upon it. As he did so, he forced his hand higher, letting it glide over the head of her thigh and bringing it to rest against the hard thrusting arch of her mound.

A brief moment later he dropped his fingers. Reni felt their tips roving teasingly over her upper legs and then press inwards between the heads of her thighs to start tracing faint meandering lines over their plump inner faces close to the point where they merged with her body. The provocative caress, so close to the vital and sheltered vortex of her womanhood, provoked another release of her liquids which seeped warm and smooth against the by now completely sodden gusset of her panties.

Reni felt a need that was almost unbearable and took her mouth from his to look deep into his eyes. It was a silent but clear signal of her readiness for him to complete his exploration and discover for himself the innermost and most sacred secrets of her woman's body. It was a signal that she reinforced with a sharp tightening of her fist around the thick hardness of his rod before dragging her clenched hand up and down its length in a repeating series of vigorous movements.

Rich responded quickly. He forced his fingers beneath the elastic band at the leg of her panties and felt a thrill of excitement when he felt the saturated state of her panties. It told him of the high state of her arousal and carried the promise of a highly charged sensual responsiveness as he made his further advances and eventually took her completely.

Unable to dally any longer, Rich moved quickly and Reni gasped out loud as she felt the rounded point of his finger touch for the first time against the soft moist folds of sensitive flesh that stood as sentinels to her channel of love. Almost straight away her gasp was followed by a moan of undiluted pleasure as she felt his finger bend at the knuckle and then slide with smooth ease into the heated clasp of her delicate and vulnerable but hungry sheath.

Probably because of her heightened state of arousal, the movement of his finger probing, bending and twisting within her and rubbing over the soft but slightly textured surface of her inner walls was beyond anything she had known before.

It was a sweetness that increased even further as felt a second finger join the first. Rich was only the second man she had allowed to have access to the secret heartlands of her body but the sensations coming from the feel of his fingers delving and stroking far within her chute and caressing its inner faces had a glory that was almost unbearable. The sensations more than conquered her earlier doubts and reservations in a way that she knew had to make it right.

Driven by impulses she was no longer able to control, Reni tightened the grip of her hand around his mast to drag her hand upwards, stretching the skin that coated its girth up and over the bulging head of his glans before pushing the skin back down over its length to compress it concertina like around its thick base. A throbbing pulse began to pound against the palm of her hand and she again drew the skin up over its full length and back again to its base but this time with more force than before.

Sensing something of her internal reactions and recognising her commitment, Rich moved his finger to the protective fold of skin that sheltered the precious jewel of her clitoris. Bending the soft, warm and moist flap to one side, his fingertip slid over the smooth surface to seek the solid but susceptible knob. Finding it and using all his skill, he deftly rolled and rubbed his finger tip over and around the highly sensitive and vulnerable nerve centre of sexual desire to bring yet another moan of sheer pleasure from Reni's mouth.

The sensations building throughout her body held a marvel that was new and all-consuming. They conveyed a promise that she was at the threshold of something special, something wonderful and something beyond her previous experience and knowledge.

The provocative caress continued, taking Reni to ever-heightening levels of pleasure, before she felt Rich force himself towards her, pressing his lower body between her already parted thighs. She readily separated her legs wider, knowing that she was opening herself to him and the inevitability of the act of love to which she was now totally committed.

In the same action, Rich used his fingers to draw apart the two sheltering lips of malleable flesh that stood as sentinels beside the maw of her woman's sheath, separating them and holding them apart to expose the entrance to her chute of love. It was request, an invitation and a demand as well.

Reni responded willingly. With a faint gurgle of pleasure that was also a moan of surrender and anticipation, she steered the swollen head of his powerful erection closer and closer still towards the sanctity of her womanhood.

The urgency of her need to have him inside her was intense but, when it at last came, the first touch of the most intimate parts of their bodies was brief. In a sudden moment of fear, she pulled the swollen head of his bulging helmet away from her but her fear passed as quickly as it had come to be replaced by the growing urgency of her need. Almost immediately she returned the round dome of his glans, brushing it against her outer lips before easing it cautiously up and down their length in a way that not only sent a new tremor of excitement soaring through her body but also coated its bulging mass with the warm honeyed oils of her arousal.

Suddenly impatient, Rich thrust his abdomen forward, holding the lips of her silken chute of love wide as she helped to guide the hot mass of his throbbing rod inside her. The smooth ease which he came into her took Reni by surprise. It seemed effortless and so natural but that did nothing to lessen the incredible thrill of the sensations that were flooding though her as the blunt head of his helmet opened and spread her inner walls apart before the sumptuous softness of her sheath closed snugly about its hard, thick length.

The feel of Rich's living manhood throbbing with its own vital life within her had an exquisite joy. She groaned out loud in joy. Without quite realising what she was doing, she lifted her feet from the floor to wrap her thighs tightly about his midriff and pull him deeper inside her. It was a movement she supplemented with a thrust of her abdomen towards him. The same primitive instinct that had taken her to this position prompted her to rotate her pelvis and to flex the muscles of her tummy and thighs in an attempt to mould her inner-self more closely about the vibrant force of his erection.

Thrilling to the glorious feel of his living hardness embedded deep within her body, Reni's actions caused the inner faces of her sheath to ripple over the length of his deeply penetrated mast in a way that seemed to make her sodden and heated tissues suck at its solid form. Her movements, at once supple and subtle, served only to intensify that feeling that seemed to have been with her for so long, reinforcing the extraordinary signal that she was at the threshold of a new world.

And so she was! With a suddenness that took her by surprise, her body as well as her mind were consumed by a tidal wave of pure and unbelievable delight. It was a delight she had never before experienced. It was the first true climax of her young life. The thunderous flood of sensations swamped her whole being, the lightning of the storm searing through her youthful body in a series of electrifying shockwaves of sheer pleasure that left her gasping for breath through her wide open mouth. Her head rolled uncontrollably from side to side with beads of sweat springing to her face and forehead. Nothing else in the world mattered beyond the dazzling exhilaration of the moment and the feel of the hard rod throbbing with life far inside her.

Rich looked at Reni's contorted expression and wildly writhing body with a delight of his own. He knew he had brought her to a climax and knew as well that now he could concentrate on achieving his own climax and so completing his conquest of this lovely young woman. He had, he knew, unlocked an intense and deep-seated but previously largely dormant sensuality from within her and his only wish now was to exploit this to the full to their mutual joy and benefit.

When, eventually, the throes of her climax began to ease and her eyes slowly came back into focus, she looked at Rich with a tender smile of pleasure and gratitude on her lips before drawing his head to hers and kissing him with a tenderness and affection that spoke only too clearly of her joyful appreciation. All the while she continued to ripple her inner walls over and around the sturdy length of his hot, thick manhood, adding to the wondrous sensations they were sharing as she thrilled to the feel of him hard and strong within her.

Rich bent his head back, taking his mouth from hers to smile at her, and slowly eased the trunk of his body away from her. Feeling this, Reni clasped her thighs more tightly about him, trying desperately to hold his shaft in place and prevent its escape from the succulent sheath of her body but he still slipped free, his hardness withdrawing with a smooth ease. When only the helmet of his glans remained within her he paused for a long moment before pressing himself back inside her. His re-entry was equally smooth, aided as it was by the lubrication of her love juices and the renewed tightening of her thighs about him as she pulled his manhood back within the moist and heated recess of her inner body.

Reni greeted his return to her body with a faint whimper of pleasure and a rotation of her hips to ensure the safety of his solid rod deep within her before relaxing as she felt him again ease himself free from her to once more pause with only his swollen helmet left within the clasp of her sheath before yet again pushing himself forward to be welcomed back within the secret bower of her body with the same eager enthusiasm.

Now, with a growing skill and a new-found confidence, Reni and Rich started to move as one. They shared an understanding that was in need of no words, each moving in perfect harmony with the other, he to withdraw the might of his mast free from her and she to ease his release before he thrust himself back inside her as she pushed her abdomen forward to meet and welcome him back within the soft embrace of her sheath of love.

It was a sequence of actions they repeated time and again in a steady rhythm with Rich sometimes taking the solid length of his rod fully from her and sometimes only partly away but she was able to match his every movement perfectly and with an in-born sensual instinct. Each variation in the extent of his withdrawal was always followed by a full penetration, each movement accomplished with a shared and polished ease with his heavy mast slipping easily and freely to and from the warm and sumptuous clutch of her inner walls.

They moved in unison with an unspoken understanding. Repeating their actions with a freedom that brought in its train the sweetest and most glorious pleasure which they shared with an abandoned sense of pure delight. Each matched the movements of the other with an instinctive and harmonious ease, Reni time after time taking the thick length of his hard manhood into the sumptuous depths of her inner body in a fevered cycle of shared sensuous joy.

Gradually, almost imperceptibly and certainly without conscious thought, the pace of their movements began to increase but the magic symmetry of their synchronised actions continued in perfect unison. Driven by forces beyond their control, they moved apart and together as he withdrew the strident force of his manhood from the clutch of her sheath only to drive it deep into her softness again to reclaim his prize as each again took total possession of the other. There was a force to their movements that they both shared and matched. The smooth warm oils of her freely-flowing love juices allowed him a freedom of entry and withdrawal that had a silken ease that left them both breathless and consumed with delight.

Completely lost in the wonder of the sensations they were sharing, the passion of one fed off the other. Driven by their lust, the pace and vigour of their movements steadily increased. Rich drove the whole length and girth of his hard, throbbing manhood high into the soft, warm and welcoming embrace of Reni's sheath only to quickly draw it free from its tender clutch in a dazzling sequence of repeating movements.

Each entry of his powerful, thrusting and throbbing manhood stretched and filled Reni's inner being, the feel of him buried high inside her bringing an exquisite sensation of pure pleasure. Its blunt head opened the soft, pliant walls of flesh before it with their cushioned softness clutching heatedly at its rigid strength as Rich withdrew it from her again and again. Every movement was marked by the silken smoothness of their united actions. Each entry and removal was accomplished with agile ease. There was a sweet and sublime harmony as their bodies joined together with a synchronisation of thought and deed born of their shared desire and their mutual and ever-increasing need to reach the eventual fulfilment of their hungry cravings.

Suddenly, without any need for words, their inborn instincts told them they were on the verge of the ultimate climax of their union, a climax that each was increasingly desperate to achieve. Rich's already rigid and powerful rod seemed somehow to be growing even harder as well as hotter, almost as though it were increasing in size as the urgency of its demands became ever more compelling. Reni thrilled to the glorious feel of it thrusting into her and moving away again from the moist heat of her welcoming body with its force a commanding presence she was more than happy to meet.

There was a new vigour about Rich's movements, an energy and an enthusiasm that Reni matched in every way. With their faces and bodies coated in perspiration, they were breathing in choking gasps.

With an abrupt loss of control, Rich drove the thick length of his mast high and deep within her, his potent love seed jetting free from the swollen head of his heavy glans in a hot dense flow. The heat of his rich juices and their dense texture erupting within her brought a moan of sheer delight from the back of Reni's throat. It was a moan that repeated itself as he withdrew his rod only to hurriedly plunge it back inside her to sow new seed within the furthermost heartlands of her woman's body, there to merge and blend with the richness of her own fertile and freely-flowing love juices.

It was as she took the fourth, less voluminous eruption of his seed into her body that Reni came to her own climax. With an uncontrollable squeal of sheer delight, a series of molten electric thunder flashes shot through her body and to her brain, subduing all conscious thought save only for the blazing joy that was consuming her young body. Her body quivered against his, her love sheath clasping the majestic might of his manhood as her inner walls undulated over and around it in a sequence that matched the waves of extraordinary delight that were flowing freely through her whole being.

*********

It had been an incredible experience --- for both of them. And it was not over yet!

When their senses returned to some sort of normality, they went upstairs to Reni's bedroom and spent the night making love with a passion and an abandonment that was fulfilling almost beyond words. Rich had been right. The underlying and dormant sensuality he thought he had seen in the young woman was a reality. He had discovered a rich vein of sexuality that matched his own in every way and he felt a thrill of pleasure to know that he was the one who had unleashed it. Her appetite matched his in every way and her instinctive responses had shown a commitment that matched his own desires. Her needs seemed to be as great as his with her enthusiasm and energy offering the perfect foil to his own hunger and lust.

That first night together they made love with a passion and an urgency that left them both exhausted. When they woke late the next morning they made love again, this time with a prolonged gentleness, before Rich took her to his apartment where they spent the rest of the weekend in bed together. Because his wife was still away, Reni slept with him every night of the following week, returning home only on the Saturday morning a few hours before his wife returned from her work assignment and her parents from their holiday.

By now Reni knew full well what it meant to be a woman, a complete and fulfilled woman in every sense. She had discovered the true joy and wonder of sex and the thrill of the sensations it could bring. Her affair with Rich continued for some time while she continued to see her fiancé on an almost daily basis. Sex with him seemed rather tame in comparison with what she had found with Rich although she enjoyed it nonetheless, especially if she was able to have the two men on the same day or, preferably, within a brief time after one another. That gave her a dazzling sense of her power as a woman and she was by now fully aware of herself in every way. She was also conscious of the way men looked at her and tried to catch her eye as well as of the way some of them tried to flirt with her. It was both flattering and pleasing, even rather exciting, and she knew that, sooner or later, she would find herself going to bed with someone else.

It happened some six weeks later when she was attending a residential course in London. Before going she had made up her mind to sleep with someone on the course even though she had no idea who that might be. In fact she succeeded in her mission on the first night when she readily succumbed to the attentions one of the tutors had been paying her in the bar. In many ways she was surprised not only by how easy it had been to make the decision and choose another man to make love to her but also by how good it was and how satisfied and fulfilled it made her feel. It was so rewarding that, when the tutor had to leave the course one day before it ended, she spent the last night with one of the other students.

Reni's life had changed for ever and she was never to have any regrets. Not surprisingly, her engagement came to an end shortly after her trip to London although she continued to make love to Rich until he was transferred to another post. It meant that, shortly afterwards, she herself applied for a transfer to London where she quickly found herself an apartment. It was over ten years later that time she decided it was time to marry and settle down and by then she had enjoyed numerous different lovers on a regular and frequent basis. It was a period of excitement, adventure and not a little risk or danger but it was also a time that was uniquely and dazzlingly rewarding, a time when, as a sophisticated woman, she surrendered freely to her very real need for the joy and satisfaction could come only through sex. It was a time she was never to regret.
