Tell us about your PARTNER(S). What did they look like? How well did you know them, had you hooked up before? How/Where did you meet them? How did you feel about them before the hookup? I work at a large company with a lot of people who could be considered my boss. Vic is one of them. I met him in person for the first time a few months after I started my job, and we hit it off immediately. He’s shorter, not particularly handsome, but charming as hell and really nice. The first time we hung out at a work event, we ended up picking on each other in a platonic-feeling flirting way, and that tone carried over to future conversations. At the next work event, there was a little more sexual tension, but I ended up leaving the event with someone else (that story to follow…)

Finally, about a month ago, I ended up in Vic’s city for a third conference, and he organized a group happy hour. As the night went on and people dropped off, I started to wonder if something was going to happen.

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? There was absolutely no planning involved with this hook up whatsoever. Vic walked me back to my hotel because I had never been to the city before, and I was a little disoriented because our happy hour ended up extending over several different locations. Along the way, we had a really nice conversation and it felt much more like a date then a work commitment. When we got to the hotel, I asked if he wanted to have one more drink at the hotel bar, and he agreed. When we walked inside, we were both surprised to see that the hotel bar had already closed down for the night. He looked about as disappointed as I felt, and said that he guessed he would see me the next day. I said sure, unless he wanted to come upstairs. He asked if I wanted him to, and I nodded, momentarily worried that I’d misread the situation. He laughed and asked where the elevators were.

What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end? When we got to the room, Vic left to use the bathroom and I took the opportunity to clean up the space a little bit. He came out while I was looking out the window at the city, and walked up behind me. He tentatively put his hand against my arm, I think to test the waters and make sure that we were both on the same page. He asked if I was looking for something in particular, and I said I was just admiring the view. He told me that he thought I was beautiful, and that he was very attracted to me. We kissed, and he led me to the bed, where he undressed me first and then himself. He directed me to lie down and performed oral sex on me. It was close to the best I’ve had.

The whole time we were in bed, he was complimenting my body, my sense of humor, my smile. It was actually quite sweet. We both came together, then stayed in bed kissing and cuddling for a bit. He asked if he could take a shower, which he did, and then he left.
