Liam Tabram had only been left school a month and he was delighted to have obtained employment in a medium-sized office. He was not long past his eighteenth birthday when he arrived for his first-ever day as an employee.
He was greeted by the office manager, John Stewart, who had a brief chat with him in his office and put him at ease before introducing him to the eight other employees, five female and three male, in the main office. The first seven welcomed him before John introduced him to the eighth, Ruth Edrich, who was the oldest of the five females at age forty-eight.
"This is Ruth, she knows everything that there is to know about what we do here and she will be looking after you for your first week or so," said John.
"Pleased to meet you, Liam," said Ruth with a very attractive smile.
"Pleased to meet you too, Ruth," said Liam, feeling a bit self-conscious about calling this attractive mature woman by her first name.
"You will be sitting here with me but first up, would you like a tea or coffee?" asked Ruth.
"Coffee please if it is not too much trouble," said a still nervous Liam.
"Ha, she will have you making her coffee by the end of the day," teased Mary Dickens, an employee some ten years younger than Ruth.
"Take no notice of her Liam, she is jealous because I am not making her one," laughed Ruth.
The morning went well with Liam relaxing a bit as Ruth showed him various aspects of the job although she was careful not to fill his head with too much too quickly.
The office usually shut down for an hour at lunchtime although sometimes when a lot was going on workwise, one or more of the staff worked through.
Lunchbreak activities varied from person to person and from day to day but could involve shopping or nipping home or maybe a visit to a cafe or even a pub. Liam had no plans for his lunch break and his home, which he shared with his sister and parents, was a bit too far away to make a trip there and back viable, so he just wandered around town. Liam had a driving test coming up but for now, he would either walk or bus to and from work each day.
Ruth had asked Liam what his plans were for lunchtime, not that she felt responsible for him, but because she was genuinely keen to make him welcome. He had said that he was going to wander around town.
Ruth got back with about ten minutes to spare from her shopping and one of the other women, Christine Haversham, said of Liam, "He is rather dishy, isn't he?"
"I suppose but I hadn't really noticed," replied Ruth who, like the other four women in the office, was married.
"Well, I wouldn't kick him out of bed," said Christine although being quite happily married, it was just a figure of speech.
When Liam came back a few minutes later, Ruth looked at him differently in view of Christine's words and she concluded that Mrs Haversham was correct. Christine saw how Ruth looked at Liam and grinned and Ruth smiled back, and slowly shook her head as if disapproving of Christine's thoughts.
The afternoon also went well and Mary proved to be right when Liam made Ruth a coffee in mid-afternoon. Generally, everyone made their own drinks but occasionally someone would make the drinks for all that wanted them.
Liam went home that night pleased with his first day of work and also pleased at how welcoming everyone had been, especially Ruth.
Over the next three days, Liam gained confidence and he seemed to be picking up the nature of the work quite quickly The office was generally a happy one and he was settling in well. He and Ruth often laughed together, although obviously, the main purpose of their close proximity was for him to learn the job. They were so close together that occasionally their knees touched although they both promptly withdrew.
Liam was finding himself very attracted to this mature woman and he found her perfume intoxicating. He had a sort of on-off girlfriend, aged seventeen, but she would not open her legs for him although she had tossed him off once. He was not a virgin, however, having fucked another seventeen-year-old girl a few times.
Although she liked him and agreed with Christine's assessment of his looks, Ruth was not feeling the same attraction although her marriage to her husband Dave was very rocky at the moment. In fact, Dave was shagging a woman from his work, something that Ruth suspected but was not sure about.
That Thursday night, Liam wanked whilst thinking about the woman thirty years his senior and he longed to get to know her better.
Friday was the birthday of another woman in the office, Sheila Cotts, and it was agreed that all the staff would go for a quick drink in the local pub after work. Liam sat next to Ruth in the pub because it seemed the natural thing to do and he was finding it more intimate than being next to her in the office and his penis was hard in his trousers. He actually had a quite large cock and he was concerned about people seeing the obvious lump in his clothing.
Ruth had noticed the lump and she swallowed hard and tried to dismiss it from her mind but, like sometimes in the office, their legs were touching and this time neither of them moved away.
Four of the original ten had left the pub after one drink so now only Sheila, Ruth, Christine, Mary and John remained, along with Liam. Ruth went to the bar to get some more drinks and, surprisingly for the first time, Liam's eyes went to her full and rounded arse which was in a tight grey skirt. He had not really looked at her arse in the office because she was usually sitting on it. The sight caused a twitch of his penis.
Ruth was again sat down although with three having departed there was no real need for her and Liam to be quite so close together, but neither of them moved and their legs and hips were touching. For the first time, Ruth was starting to feel a sexual attraction to the young man, possibly helped by the size of the lump that she could still see in his trousers. The table obscured that view from the others.
After a bit longer, Mary and John had gone but the remaining four decided on one more drink although neither Ruth nor Christine were on alcohol as they were driving. Liam was very relaxed and he placed his right hand on Ruth's thigh but Ruth gently removed it, Christine noticed both actions and gave a sort of quizzical look at Ruth who smiled back.
With the drinks finished, Sheila said that she was going and the other's said that they would too. Ruth offered Liam a lift home, which he happily accepted, and Christine frowned at Ruth. Sheila had gone to the ladies and Liam to the gents when Christine said to Ruth, "You be careful, he has got the hots for you."
"Yeah, I will be careful," replied Ruth, not admitting that she was starting to get the hots for Liam.
Ruth drove Liam the two miles to his house and pulled up nearby. Liam was not a heavy drinker and he was not drunk, but the three pints that he had consumed had had some effect. He seemed reluctant to leave the car and then suddenly blurted, "I wanked thinking about you last night, I love you."
Ruth was momentarily stunned by this revelation but replied, "Ha, well thank you, I think, but you can't love me."
"But I do, you are sexy and beautiful," insisted Liam.
"You have been drinking Liam, you need to go home," said Ruth who was aware that her nipples had hardened and her cunt was damp.
Liam looked into her eyes and he obviously wanted to kiss her and Ruth was very tempted but managed to refrain.
Ruth then heard herself saying, "I am going to give you my mobile number...in case you have to ring me about work," although she could not fathom why she had said it.
She gave him the number and he gave her his and then after again waiting unsuccessfully for a kiss, Liam got out of the car.
"See you Monday, have a nice weekend," said Ruth as he got out.
"Yes, see you Monday," replied Liam who was a bit embarrassed by his revelation but also delighted to have Ruth's mobile number.
Ruth was confused; Not because Liam fancied her because she had already worked that out. She was confused by her own reaction both internally and in giving him her mobile number. The only conclusion that you could reach was that she wanted the eighteen-year-old youth but she did not know whether to give in to her own temptation.
That night, Ruth and Dave had a massive row, nothing to do with Liam but to do with Dave's announcement that he was fucking Sarah Jennings from his workplace. It was not a major surprise to Ruth because she suspected he was fucking someone, although she did not know who. What was a surprise was that Dave said that he would be moving out and living with Sarah although Ruth should have maybe kicked him out anyway.
They slept in separate beds that night, not a rare occurrence, not that Ruth slept much at all. Her feelings for Dave had declined over the twenty-six years of their marriage and she was financially secure in her own right but still, it was dramatic news.
In the morning, Dave said that he would spend Saturday night with Sarah and come back on Sunday for some of his things. Ruth did think of contacting Liam and arranging to see him but she was still undecided what to do about her feelings for him and thought that if they got together she wanted it to be when she was in a happier frame of mind than she was now.
Liam had spent most of his waking hours since Friday evening thinking about Ruth and had got close to phoning or texting her several times. He of course did not know of the dramas in the Edrich house.
Late Saturday night with Dave long gone, Ruth was naked in her bedroom. She kept thinking back over the last few days and her situation regarding Liam. He would probably not have said what he had in the car if he had not been drinking but she fully believed that he had masturbated whilst thinking about her and that he genuinely thought that he loved her.
She was thinking that she had made a mistake in giving him her phone number because that would only encourage him, but as she thought of him she got more and more turned on. She did not know if he had any experience of sex and she started to worry what he would think of her body if, or more likely when, he saw her naked.
She studied herself in the wardrobe mirror, her tits were quite good, her stomach not too bad, her vaginal area had some hair. She turned and looked over her shoulder at her bare arse, not too bad she thought but maybe a bit big. Thinking of Liam and looking at her own naked body had got her really turned on and she was soon on the bed with her legs spread and her fingers working frantically in her cunt. She came hard and she shouted, "Mmmm, fuck, oh Liam," as she did so.
Having matched Liam in masturbating whilst thinking of the other she had as good as confirmed that the two of them were destined to fuck. Liam wanked later that night, thinking of Ruth, and after his spunk had run through his fingers and back down the outside of his penis, he decided to text her.
It was almost midnight when Ruth's mobile buzzed beside her bed. She had not attempted sleep but, even so, a text at that time was unexpected. She looked at her phone to read a message from Liam saying, 'I just wanked thinking of you.'
Ruth gasped and wondered whether to acknowledge or not but her fingers worked quicker than her brain and she typed, 'I masturbated thinking of you.'
