Cameron

I didn’t get home from the party till late, even though I tried to get out of there at a decent time. It was hard to get up the next morning and I didn’t even get to see Anne before I left. She was still passed out from a long night and when I passed her room, I saw that she had another woman in her bed. I was happy for her, but I wanted a friend to talk to. I had denied what happened with Grey, but I really needed someone to talk to about it. I was confused and she had so much more experience with relationships than I did.

But it wasn’t to be, so I made my way to work with a lot of questions on my mind. I was confused and it didn’t get much better when I got to work. I was on time, but I was called into the dentist’s office almost immediately after I got there. I felt like I was at the principal’s office and the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. What did he want with me?

“What can I do for you Sir?”

He smiled at me in a way that made me feel a little uncomfortable and I didn’t know what I was supposed to say or do. He just kept staring at me, I mean really staring at me and he was freaking me out if I was honest. The longer he sat there and waited for me, the more ill at ease I felt. It was hard to imagine what was going on in his mind and after a time, I was sick of guessing. I was about to ask him again what was going on, when he finally came out with it.

“So Cameron, I thought I would come to you first about this. Yesterday when you were here, did you do anything that would be considered wrong?”

I was trying to figure out what he was talking about and one glaring thing came to mind more than anything else. It wasn’t hard to think about what happened with Grey in the room where I was cleaning his teeth, but I was not going to spill it unless I knew for sure. I wasn’t going to volunteer information like that.

“Wrong, Sir?”

He smiled and I didn’t like the way he looked at me.

“I will tell you know that we have CCTV in the rooms and in the office. Maybe that will help you figure out what I am talking about.”

My heart leapt in my chest and I didn’t want to believe it. I didn’t have to think about it long because before I knew what was going on, my boss had turned his laptop around and I started to watch the recording of me and Grey in the room. It didn’t take long for it to turn dirty and I could feel my face getting redder by the moment. It was clear what we were doing and there was even audio to go with it.

“As much as I respect the fact that you tried to stop it Cameron, you can see why this sort of behavior on the clock is a problem.”

I nodded my head, telling him that I understood, but I really didn’t. I had no idea what to say and if I was honest, I would have rather melted into the carpet at that point, disappearing from sight altogether so I wouldn’t have to have this conversation with him, my new boss, or rather should I say, my old boss. There was no coming back from this and I was mortified to no end.

“I don’t know what to say Sir.”

“Well you need to say and do something if you want to keep your job.”

“Do?”

He smiled at me again and it was then that I got that creepy feeling back. I had a feeling that I knew then what he wanted from me and I was even more worried now. The very idea of being intimate with a man like that turned my stomach and I didn’t want to hear the rest.

“Yes, do. It seems that you don’t mind giving it up to strangers that come in. So if you are going to give that kind of service to our customers, I would like to see what you would do for your own boss. I can look to the side from this if you promise to never do it again and shall we say, return the favor?”

I was speechless, something that didn’t happen very often, but it was the way he said it and the look on his face that made it hard to answer. Was he serious?

“I don’t understand Sir.”

“I think you do Cameron. I want what you gave that man in the video and if you do a good job and scream for me like you did for him, I am sure we can work something out. It is very simple. You have something that I want.”

He was looking me up and down and I felt a little bile come up in my mouth that I had to push back down before it overwhelmed me. I still wasn’t sure that I had heard him right, but I wanted to make sure that I had.

“Sir, are you saying what I think you are saying?”

He smiled and leaned in a little. “I think you are not stupid and you know exactly what I am talking about. If you want to keep your job, then you are going to have to show me some of the same attention that you showed our client. It is pretty simple. Let me use that sweet mouth of yours and that body and we will pretend like none of this ever happened.”

“And if I don’t?”

He shrugged and sat back in his seat. “Well then you are done here. I can’t have women like you working here. It would give this office a bad name and we can’t have that. If the other girls found out about this, you wouldn’t want to work here anyways. I figure it would be pretty embarrassing for you. I will warn you, if you tell me no, then I am going to have to make sure that this video finds its way onto the internet as well.”

I was so mad that I was shaking. I was mad at the guy for being a pervert and at the same time I was mad at myself for ever letting this happen. I should have known better, hell I did know better, but I wasn’t able to say anything. I was shaking inside and the more I thought about it, the more pissed off I became. He had a lot of nerve and I would have respected him so much more if he had just came out and fired me. The man was enjoying this far too much.

“I don’t take well to being blackmailed Sir. I don’t know who you think you are, but there is nothing that is worth being naked with you. You are gross and yes, I shouldn’t have done it, that is obviously clear now, but that doesn’t mean that I am going to compound my problems with what is going on now. I will not sleep with you Sir and if you choose to put it on the internet, I will not be able to stop you. My reputation is not worth it. Nothing is worth letting you put your hands on me.”

His face fell and I think he really thought that I was just going to go along with it. “I will tell you now as well if this is what you choose, then I will be forced to not give you a recommendation. Furthermore, I know all of the dentists in the city and I will make sure that none of them hire you. You will not find work here Cameron, not being a hygienist in this city at least. You will waste all of the time you put in at school and have to go back to waitressing or whatever it is that you do.”

He was going to ruin my career, or at least the beginning of the career that I thought I wanted. He was going to make it so I never worked in this town again, but I still wasn’t going to let him win. I refused to let a man like that get his way. He had most likely done it to others and would have done it to me eventually without me messing up. I just seemed to move it along a little faster.

I stood up and started towards the door before I said something out of line. It was on the tip of my tongue, but I nearly bit it off to keep from saying a word. I wasn’t going to sit here and listen to the devilish tongue anymore. My boss was a snake and I should have been grateful to find out now, instead of later when I actually needed the job.

“You do what you feel you have to and I will do the same Sir.”

I walked out with whatever dignity and pride I had left. It wasn’t much, but I managed to make it outside before I started to break down. What the hell was I going to do now? Everything that I had worked for was gone and I knew that I was going to have to find a way to pick up the pieces, somehow. I didn’t know how yet, but I knew that whatever I was going to have to do would have to be better than what he had suggested. I left with a bad taste in my mouth.
