1. You get back to work

"Sure Kate, no problem," you reply as she turns around and walks away. You get back to work, impatient in getting done and out as soon as you can.

Kate was an attractive girl who had joined your firm about a year back. In some ways she was like a lesser version of Karen, radiating some of the sensuality and charisma but not in the overwhelmingly attractive way that Karen could. She didn't rock a figure as great as Karen's either but was still very good on the eyes. She was tall with a slim, wiry body befitting a rock climber: her cute, bite sized B-cups complemented her frame well along with her small but firm ass. But her best assets were her long legs, which she showed off with her just-short-of-inappropriate skirts coupled with sheer stockings that gave a tantalizing view of her well-tanned skin.

During her first few months, she had gravitated towards you, becoming quite friendly and a little flirty. You could read the signs that she was willing to be more than just friends and while you were interested as well, you had held back a bit - worried about starting an office romance with a girl that you had just gotten to know. But in the privacy of your apartment, you had spent many nights masturbating to her long legs, dreaming of running your tongue up those smooth thighs and into her tight pussy while playing with her attractive little tits.

All of that changed after you came back from London. Your co-workers, many of whom had seen the aftermath of your breakup with Beth, were overjoyed that you had started dating again; everyone except for Kate. She had gradually grown cooler towards you, and you could see that she did not enjoy being reminded of Karen's existence. You had let things slide yourself, giving up all romantic interest in her. You never told Karen about this, not wanting to complicate matters between the two of you.

As you were finally getting ready to go home, Robert wandered over to you. He was your oldest friend, the two of you had been college roommates, and had later managed to get jobs at the same place. You used to joke that he had missed his calling as an underwear model for a boring desk job and a forty year old heart attack. "Naw man," he had replied, "a job like this is way more secure. Easier to do this than keep my butt in shape, especially when I hit forty." Your joke wasn't too far off the mark though, as he'd been invited for a few photo shoots back in college and had gotten some semi-serious offers for modelling professionally. At the moment he was the most desired male, not only in your firm, but probably in the entire office block. The fact that he was currently single helped out immensely as well.

Back in your apartment, after introducing Karen to Robert for the first time, she'd asked, "Please tell me he's gay or at least bi, and you two decided to experiment one day."

"Ha ha, no babe. He's completely straight: he actually broke a very optimistic guy's heart back in college. And I and he experimenting was never in the books."
