My chest heaved while I scurried down the steps and to the women’s bathroom on the floor below us. He wouldn’t find me there, not that he’d come looking for me. I held my hand over my heart, feeling it race with each step.
I flew into the bathroom, setting both hands on the sink and stared into the mirror. My cheeks were flushed and my eyes were wide, a sparkle twinkling in them that wasn’t typically there.
Did I really just let my boss get me off? Put me on my hands and knees on his conference table and screw me from behind? Then escaped before he could come?
My legs twitched between my thighs, remember how perfect he felt inside of me. I closed my eyelids, willing myself not to reminisce about him taking advantage of me.
But he didn’t take advantage, I let him kiss me, I’d undone his pants, not him. Could he hold this against me? Surely not legally. I’d be the one who could file a complaint. I’d never do that though, I was just as guilty in the situation as he was. We’re both adults, and I could have shoved him away from me before he thrusted that giant cock of his inside of me.
I should resign, grab my things and get out of here.
No, that wasn’t an option. I needed this job, and I needed Craft as a reference.
Damn it.
Why did I give into his sexy body?
I blew out air, completely flustered and pissed off at myself.
“Hey, what are you doing down here?” Mindy asked. She emerged from the stall, startling me to the point I almost fell into the hand dryer.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you!” She stepped closer to me, inspecting me for what was wrong. “Are you alright? Your face is pretty red.”
She studied me from bottom to top, stopping at my hair. I instantly ran my fingers through the freshly fucked hair and laughed awkwardly. “Yeah, I’m fine, I just took the stairs too fast is all.”
Mindy gave me a once over, then crossed her arms. She didn’t believe me for a second. “You sure about that?”
“Of course. You know how uncomfortable these heels are to walk in, let alone tackle a flight of stairs.”
Her lip twitched and she tapped her foot.
“What? I’m out of shape,” I confessed, turning around to wash my hands.
She came to the sink next to me. “Yeah, I think you just got done working out.”
I focused on my hands under the water, terrified to meet her gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh yeah?” I could feel her gaze set on me through the mirror. “I stopped by your desk and left a sandwich by your computer.”
A tremor ran through my arm and to my hand as I tried to turn off the water. “Thanks. When did you bring it by?”
Please say before two, please say before two…
“Oh, a little after one.”
Thank God.
“I took a stroll to see if you were out of your meeting with Craft about fifteen minutes ago, noticed your sandwich was still there.”
Shit.
“Yeah,” I laughed. “He did whatever he could to keep me in there for as long as possible.”
She turned to face me, the barrier of the mirror no longer between us. “You fucked him, didn’t you?”
Taking a long blink, I sucked in a breath of air. “I don’t know what happened.”
She covered her mouth with both hands. “Oh my Gosh, Kelsey, tell me you didn’t.”
Both my hands found my head. “I don’t know how it happened.”
Mindy put her hands on my shoulders. “Oh, honey,” she sympathized. “Was it the first time?”
“Of course it was! You know that. I don’t even know what happened. One minute we were going over slides, then the next minute he had my panties off and on his conference table.”
Mindy was quiet for a moment, then whispered, “Tell me he was horrible.”
Sniffed into my hands. “That’s the worst part. He was good, really good. I actually had an orgasm.”
“Yeah… I heard,” she sighed.
My hands dropped from my face. Tipping my head back and closing my eyes, I groaned, “I’m so going to get fired. Especially…”
Mindy was flabbergasted. “Why would you get fired? If anything his balls are in a vice.”
A slow smirk appeared on my face. “Actually, they’re blue.”
She tilted her head. “Wait, so you got off, but he didn’t?”
I let out a snort, then began to snicker into an uncontrollable laughter. “I blue-balled my boss.”
Mindy howled. “Holy shit Kels, you own him now!”
I wiped away a tear from laughing so hard. “Not sure that’s true at all.”
She shook my shoulders. “Do you know how many lawsuits and company policies he just broke? You could end him.”
“I’m just as much at fault. I can’t believe I gave into him.”
Mindy shrugged her shoulders. “I can. He’s hot as hell. I bet he was all dominant, too.”
I bobbed my head back and forth. He was pretty aggressive, but nothing I couldn’t handle. In fact, he actually submitted to me pretty well. Maybe next time…
I shook my head. There couldn’t be a next time. Craft was a dickhead, not someone I could let use me for their own pleasure. I’d won this time by beating him to orgasm, but that wouldn’t hold true if it happened again. “I need to just quit.”
Mindy pointed her finger in my face. “No. You need to play with him some.”
“I’m not touching him with a ten foot pole-”
She shook her head drastically as she cut me off. “That’s not what I mean. I’m saying, tease him, and let him know you’ve got the upper hand. Let him know he can’t just fuck anyone he wants, and clearly, he wants you. I’d bet he wants you more than anything right now. Once he’s learned his lesson, then get a kick ass reference from him, because if he doesn’t, his ass will go down for sexual assault.”
I cocked my head at her. “Mindy, that wouldn’t be fair.”
She stood tall, puffing her chest out. “But sitting behind a secretary desk when you are twenty times better than any intern who’s passed through here is fair? He’s been keeping you because he wants a piece of that sweet little ass of yours, and he got a taste, but your brilliant little touch beats him at his own game. Come on, do this for all of the women he’s screwed. Do it for yourself.”
Mindy was right. Craft was keeping me around for himself, whether it was because he wanted to have me as a notch in his bedpost, or because he liked my ideas. Either way, I shouldn’t be stuck behind a desk and getting paid a secretary's salary. I should be on the marketing team, making our clients money, and helping the business grow.
“Okay. I’ll tough it out. I won’t threaten him with it though.”
Mindy dropped her hands from my shoulders and nodded. “Blue ball that son of a bitch as much as you can. Lord knows he’s fucked over enough women.”
I stood tall and straightened my shoulders. This job was mine, and I was willing to pay the price for my actions. Craft had nothing on me, and I was going to make sure he knew who had the upper hand.
