I have recently fallen prey to a man who is 18 years younger than myself. me-42 him-24. He is the son of my coworker. I have known him for a few years very casually. I have always admired his maturity for his age as well as his attractiveness. Recently, I had become elusive to any social outings because of my diligent studies to acheive a degree. He had let me know that when I was graduated, he wanted to celebrate with me. He was very persistant in the matter. I thought that would be fun, so I suggested some ideas that would take us out on the town and in public. He suggested cooking dinner for me at my place. It wasn't my first response to be excited. It actually felt awkward and uncomfortable. But I thought to myself, "What could happen?" We enjoyed each others company for several hours and after a long filling meal, we decided to dance. He wanted to learn a few swing dance moves, so I taught him. After a few dances he suggested that we kiss. I backed off and said I felt uncomfortable with that. He backed off too, we quit dancing and decided to play chess. I should have told him to go home at that point. Within an hour we were making out and having the most amazing sex I've had in years. He spent the night and the next morning was wonderful. Now I need to see this man on occasion in my office in the presence of his mother. He has emailed me twice and texted my phone to let me know he'd be by the office. I'm avoiding him at all costs. The fact is that the sex was outstanding and I'm not getting it anywhere else at this point. This is almost my dream come true. No strings, good times, and he's a great chef. The downside is that his mother can NEVER find out. It would certainly jeopardize my position at work. How bad have I screwed up and can I recover with dignity?
