It had always been there, these little unorthodox butterflies that floated around and made me feel like jelly when I was around him. But recently he had been overly talkative and attentive towards me, and I guess like all the fantasies would suggest, that definitely made me feel something more. It wasn't even obvious to those around us, and there was a strong chance I was imagining the reciprocation, but it was exciting....

“Uh-oh.” Becky's voice was soft as she stared at the puddle that was quickly forming on the floor, tears filling her eyes as she turned and ran towards the safety of the bathroom. Sue sighed, thankful it had just been the two of them in their shared office, and followed the other at a distance. She found Becky sitting on a bench by some lockers, staring at her wet tracksuit as tears ran down her cheeks. “I...I couldn't he...

The company I work for had a booth at a trade show in Chicago. Barb, the marketing director, and Melanie, one of the customer service reps, were to "man" it. Work in my department was slow, so the general manager asked if I would like to go, too. The ladies needed someone to set up and tear down the exhibit and I was expendable for a few days. What the heck? It's a free trip and beats sitting here twiddling my thumbs, I t...

The personnel changes went smoother than anticipated, as one accepted the move to marketing with some enthusiasm and the person we let go acknowledged she needed to do better. I liked her and probably violated some employment laws giving her honest feedback. I didn’t think her future was in sales, but she was good at project management. I encouraged her to think about certification. Finding a trainer was somewhat more dif...

It’s never one thing that seemingly sends you over the line; it’s far too easy to put the blame on your partner, no matter who he or she is.  But if I was honest with myself, even a little, I knew it wasn’t her. Not really. It was too easy to just let things slide or to swallow my desire after a number of rejections. If I had been able to put my supposed needs or fetishes aside, I wouldn’t be here, in the office, on my kn...

I had just walked in from settling a dispute between two high-school-age bagger gathering shopping carts outside when she flashed me her million-dollar smile.“Hello, Jack.”I was one of the front end supervisors at a local grocery store while I was in college and she was one of my cashiers. It was the summer between her sophomore and junior years at college and I was about to start my fifth year to complete a double major....

I didn't make much of an attempt to follow Kay's instructions. On Tuesday, after her visit to the office, I had no interest or need to go out and find someone to sleep with. The next day I went to a bar frequented by business travelers where I thought it might be easy to find some lonely career woman looking to have a fling. I sat at the bar and made half-assed attempts at conversation with a few ladies. But we mostly jus...

The warmth of Chelsea’s lips woke me, kissing along my neck. My eyes fluttered open to the sight of that beautiful, smiling face. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” she said. She straddled my lap and hugged me close. Her breasts pressed into my chest. I noticed her knees, still clad in those sexy white cotton thigh-highs moving on either side of my waist. An even greater warmth emanated from our nether regions. I felt her warm s...

I walked through the crowd of sexy beer wenches and lederhosen bros, sufficiently buzzed and enjoying the Leavenworth Oktoberfest for the first time during my short vacation in the central Washington Cascades.Looking at my Instagram stories, I knew that Chelsea, my veritable Barbie doll of a former coworker at a beachfront resort on the Oregon Coast, was also in town. Before moving to the beach, she started her hospitalit...

Years later, once life had turned all too predictable, Phoebe would wonder how she’d not been more appreciative of the fun and freedom of the summer before she began her last year of college, when she was twenty-two. She’d hoped to work in conservation when she graduated, so her ideal summer would have been spent at a reserve in Africa, or in the deep rainforest. Instead, she was at a National Park on the other side of th...
