Laura spent much of every day running to the building next door. Some papers and packages were too sensitive to send by email or external courier.
Kari was Laura’s primary contact next door and, like Laura, was an office assistant. They saw each other nearly every day and bonded over their plans to advance to a vice presidency by the time they were thirty. They could usually make the document exchange in the foyer but occasionally Laura was escorted to an executive so that he could sign off.
The day’s envelope was stuffed full and there was a sticky note attached with “ASAP 2 sig” scrawled on it. “Oh, well,” Laura thought, “no time for a break now. Maybe Kari can take a minute for a cup while I'm there.” She made sure the drawer with her purse was locked and headed to the elevator. There was a breeze outside and Laura gripped the lapels of her blazer to cover the thin pink shell she wore underneath. The tempo of her heels’ “clack-clack” on the sidewalk increased as she raced as fast as she could in her pencil skirt from one door to the next. She ignored the lobby guard who stared at her still-stiff nipples as she signed in. “Hope your mom lets you see a whole tit someday,” she muttered as she hit the button for the ninth floor.
Laura signed in at the kiosk and Kari showed up after a few minutes. They chatted down the hall to get the signatures. Afterwards, Kari agreed that this was a perfect time for a quick cup and brought Laura to the break room by the elevator.
They had just gotten comfortable when Kari stiffened, staring straight ahead at nothing. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her fingers moved as if she was playing an invisible piano. Her daze only lasted a few seconds and ended with a low moan. She faced Laura, who saw the beads of sweat on Kari’s forehead and heard her heavy, labored breathing.
“I don’t suppose you …” Kari paused, frustrated by the puzzled look on Laura’s face, “Damn!” Kari grabbed Laura’s wrist and ordered her to stay put. “I’ll be right back!” She slammed the door on the way out, shouting something that Laura couldn’t make out.
Laura did stay put, trying to make sense out of what happened to Kari and of the commotion coming from outside the room. She tentatively peered out the break room windows, but couldn’t detect anything. She hesitated at the door and considered what to do next. Her curiosity won out over her good sense and she opened the door.
Sounds of moaning and grunting filled the halls. There was an overwhelmingly musky odor that saturated the air. Laura cautiously stepped out and saw Kari flat on her back, spread eagle, with her skirt up over her waist getting fucked hard by a very fat man whose pants were pulled down just far enough. The fat man was mumbling between his groans about how good she felt, while she chanted, “Do it! Do it!” with every thrust. Kari noticed Laura’s wide-eyed approach and gave her an apologetic shake of her head before she closed her own eyes and drove her hips up to meet the fat man’s.
Laura began to ask Kari what the holy hell she was doing when she heard a man’s shout behind her. “This isn’t doing it; I need to fuck you!” She whipped her head around to find two men with their flies open, jerking each other off.
“Just do the hand-job,” barked the other man. They continued jerking a few seconds more until the first man pushed the second against the wall.
“Dude, this isn't working!” The first man worked on removing the second one’s belt and pants. The second man gave in and unbuckled his partner’s belt. They pulled their own pants down to their knees and the second man got on all fours.
The first man positioned himself when the second cried out, “Man! Your dick! Let me spit on your dick first!” The first guy waddled over and the second one sucked on his cock and rubbed all the spit he could on it. The first repositioned himself, added his own saliva to the mix, and plunged himself into his buddy’s ass.
“Gawd, DAMN that feels good!” the second man shouted as he felt the slickened cock move in and out. “Dammit, Jerry, don’t just leave my dick hanging! Jerk me off!”
Doubly stunned, Laura stepped back towards her friend who had since climbed on top of the fat man, stabbing herself with his little dick over and over while playing with her clit. His face was bright red and he looked like he might pass out. “Kari, I don’t understand!” Laura declared.
“Uh. Just. Leave. Get. Out!” Kari panted in reply.
Too curious, Laura advanced past her friend to investigate the sounds and smells coming from the office area. She was astonished to find that literally everyone was fucking someone else. There were couples and groups. Gender didn’t seem to matter as long as their holes were getting filled with fingers, tongues or pricks. She raced back past Kari and the fat man to get to the elevator. Pressing its buttons over and over again did not make it arrive any faster. She heard the two nearby men exclaim that they were about to cum. The one on his knees jetted his semen onto the floor as his friend emptied himself into his ass.
She heard Kari climax and the fat man grunt as they too finished. There were wails of orgasmic relief throughout the floor. Laura was unaware that the elevator doors had opened and closed again, transfixed on what she was seeing and hearing. And smelling. The almost sickening scent of sex was everywhere.
The men pulled their pants up and joked about having to reschedule a meeting. They walked past Laura as if it was no big deal. The one who got reamed felt he had to explain, “Hey, we’re not gay or nothing. It’s just sex, right?” Farther down the hall, the one man said, “You know, you could have pulled that thing out of my ass before you blew your load.”
Kari addressed the fat man, “No, I mean no, it’s just sex!” One of her hands held her panties while the other covered her pussy. She saw that Laura was still there and motioned her back into the break room. Laura followed not knowing what else to do. Kari took a couple of napkins and mopped up between her legs. As she put her panties back on she said, “I’ll bet you have questions.” Laura just nodded. Kari washed her hands at the sink. “I’ll tell you what I know.
“A month and a half ago, people on the floor would all start feeling,” she considered her words, “feeling aroused, all at the same time and always without warning. Finally, two of them gave in and went at it in a bathroom. They weren’t discrete. They defended themselves by saying we all felt that way too. They were right, we did. They said that it was just sex and what’s wrong with that? Sex is good, right?”
Laura nodded slightly in agreement. “And it was just sex. Those two hadn’t ever been friendly at work before and they don’t socialize after work. They practically shook hands and continued their separate ways. Weird, right?”
“Uh, huh.”
“So a few days later we all get that aroused feeling again. We saw a few people get that twitchy thing I’m sure you just saw happen to me. They felt like they absolutely had to fuck or else they’d die. They found each other and all hooked up. The floor managers didn’t know what to do and they certainly didn’t want upper management to find out, so they told everyone to keep quiet and that it would all blow over. ‘It’s just sex,’ they had said.
“Well, you can guess how well that worked,” Kari continued. “The next day it hit harder than before. Almost everybody went into that trance and came out of it looking for a partner. Whoever was closest was good for a fuck, it really didn’t matter. Women with women, men with men, women with men, they all ended up fucking whoever. It was really awkward at first but we’re all pretty much used to it by now.”
Laura was still lost. “But why? What’s making you do this?”
“We don’t know. Human Resources said they’re looking into it but I doubt it.” Kari took a bottle of water out of the refrigerator. “It doesn’t affect us away from the office either, or anyone we live with.” She took a drink. “But nobody wants to leave now, either.”
“I want to leave,” Laura declared.
“Yeah, I think you should.” They headed for the elevator. “I won’t let you past the foyer again. I don’t know whether or not you’ll be affected now. Like I said, we never know when it’s going to hit, otherwise you wouldn’t have been allowed in here this time.”
Laura watched her friend disappear as the doors closed. She couldn’t get over how much Kari seemed to accept and really enjoy this, “just sex.”
Laura convinced someone else to run the package over the next day. and she texted Kari to make arrangements to not be in the foyer at the same time in the future. On the following day, late in the morning, Laura started fantasizing about finding someone to go out with on Saturday night or maybe Friday. She never had a booty call. It’s OK for the girl to initiate a booty call, right? She absent-mindedly rubbed herself over her skirt as she considered her options. After just a few seconds of rubbing, she froze.
Shit.
She texted Kari. “Is it happening?” There was no immediate reply. She tried again, getting increasingly agitated. Not able to wait for an answer, Laura headed to the ladies’ room and scurried to the last stall. She hiked up her skirt and pulled her panties down, easily sliding in a finger, and then two. She plunged them in and out, trying not to make any noises. Her body soon quivered with her climax. She smelled and then tentatively licked her fingers. Not bad, she thought, before she realized what she had just done. She got herself together, washed up and returned to her desk. Her phone was still where she dropped it and she saw Kari’s reply: “Yes. Don’t ever come back.”
