I’m glad my new partners and I are getting along so well. I guess I’ll have to wait to start seducing my new assistant.
Chapter 8
Grace
I’m sitting around a large table with a lot of other new assistants, trying hard to stay focused and not daydream about my hot new boss. It’s a lot to take in, though, and I’m trying to process it all.
“Welcome to the firm,” Monique says, once she’s taken her position at the front of the room. “I’m happy to announce that you are all our latest hires due to a large recent expansion of the firm.”
I feel someone sit down in the chair next to me, and turn to see Erin.
“Oh, hey,” I whisper, glad to see a familiar face. “What are you doing here? You’re not new.”
“I still feel new,” she whispers back. “I barely got used to working here when all these new people started showing up. And the firm is changing a lot due to its rapid growth. But mostly, I came to see how you’re doing.”
“Good,” I tell her. “Thanks.”
I’m not about to mention my interesting one on one talk with Boyd. But as he enters the room, along with some of the other partners and associates and staff, my heart rate quickens and my palms feel instantly sweaty.
He stares back at me, not afraid to keep his eyes on me. While each of the partners are introduced, and Erin gives me a little background into each one of them, I realize I wouldn’t be alone in having strange feelings for my boss. She goes down the list of which ones married whom—she is with Jameson Reed, one of the founding partners—I can’t believe how many love connections are made at work.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I whisper, but she shakes her head, smiling.
I look at the line up of couples—Madilyn, Ruby, Caroline and Katie are standing by their men as they’re introduced—and can’t believe one place can be so busy. At least I know I won’t get in trouble for being with my boss, I think.
I will myself to stop having such thoughts. Of course I’m not really going to get with my boss. Am I?
“Well, now that the fun gossipy part of things is over, I’m going to go get some work done,” Erin whispers, before standing up. “Have a good day.”
“You too,” I tell her.
I watch her bounce off, happy that I’ve already made a friend. And I’m glad she clued me in on the crazy goings-on of this place.
“Thank you all for being here,” Asher Marks says, after the introductions are done. “We’d like to invite all of you to a firm wide Christmas party, on the twenty-third of next month.”
“And with that, we’re off to play golf,” Cameron says, and my heart sinks as Boyd follows them. He nods in my direction as if to apologize for leaving.
Calm down, I tell myself. It’s not like you’ll never see him again.
I hate feeling like some clingy lover when he hasn’t so much as touched me, or at least not anything more than a casual brush-by. But I have a feeling that’s going to change. Something tells me he wants to touch me and do a lot more than that too. I want to do it, too, which surprises me, but I guess it shouldn’t, given what I fantasized about when it came to him.
“I understand that some of the partners have made plans, while you are being trained,” Monique says, “but rest assured you’re in good hands.”
Am I? I think, as they file out of the room. Because the only hands I want to be in just walked right out of the room along with the rest of him.
Chapter 9
Grace
The next day, while I’m trying to sort through paperwork I had been given to fill out, Boyd asks me into his office.
“You wanted to see me, Mr. Ashdown?” Upon his look, I rephrase. “I mean, Boss.”
He nods approvingly at that. I smile sheepishly at him and walk into his office. It still has the same awe-inspiring view as the previous visit and my breath is still taken away. In more ways than one.
Boyd smiles at me and gestures for me to sit in the chair in front of his desk. I sit reluctantly, knowing that attempting to sit still while he watches me will only make me feel more awkward. He comes around his desk and sits on it, facing me, in a way I only thought happened on television or in movies. I immediately get up from my seat and go over toward the bookcase. I have such nervous energy, afraid that he’ll know how much I want him.
Crap. I want him. I want my boss.
I’m thumbing through the pages of a law book on his shelf when he takes the book from my hand and places it on top of the desk. His grasp is firm and commanding on my hand. Then he stands directly in front of me, a little too close in fact. I back up slightly, but not too much as to cause him any offense. I hit the bookcase behind me lightly.
“I probably should tell you why I wanted you come to my office.” He says it matter-of-factly, but his eyes say so much more. I’d never been one to truly feel lust radiating off another person. In fact, I was never close enough to man to feel it. But it is coming off him in waves, and I’m pretty sure it’s coming off of me, too. His eyes are on fire and I can’t look away.
“And I should probably mention the fact that you told me to say something if anyone was making me feel uncomfortable.” At that, he backs away from me, clearly hurt and surprised. I take the opportunity to move away from him.
“I’m making you uncomfortable?” he asks, crossing his arms again as if he’s frustrated. In my eyes, he’s frustrated in more ways than one.
I look up at him in surprise. That was not where I thought this was going at all.
“What?” I say, looking toward him. “You’re honestly the last person who makes me feel uncomfortable. In fact, I feel like you’re one of the few people I can talk to.”
“Really?” he asks, clearly pleased with himself. I look at him and watch as a delayed thought crosses his mind. “Is there someone making you uncomfortable?”
“Well, you weren’t wrong about Brett,” I say, almost embarrassed. Brett had been coming by my cubicle constantly. He’d flirt and joke and try to make physical contact. He’d sit down on my desk and would rake his eyes over my body without so much as a single moment of consideration for me.
“I’ll talk to him,” Boyd says. I nod in appreciation, my smile widening as he looks back at me. I turn and look back toward the bookcase. Much safer territory.
“So, what did you want to see me for?” I ask him, picking up the book that he had previously set down on the desk. I begin looking through it again, feeling his eyes on me.
I look up at him and meet his gaze. He truly is incredibly handsome. He’s tall, with a full head of hair although there are some traces of gray beginning to appear. His eyes pierce my own with their dark intensity. His jawline is so well defined that I imagine I’d cut myself if I trailed my finger along it. His lips are the perfect shape and size to envelop my own. A kiss so soft it would probably feel like feathers. And at the same time, it would probably radiate all the way down to my toes.
Rationally, I know I shouldn’t be feeling this way about my boss. Despite the fact that he’s old enough to have raised me, I can already hear the Pastor’s voice in my head telling me that I’m heading in the wrong, and most certainly sinful, direction. But there’s just something about Boyd that makes me want more. And it’s the first time that I’ve ever truly wanted more. I don’t want that feeling to slip away without so much as a second glance.
He walks over to me and once again takes the book from my hands. Our fingers touch for a moment and the sensation sends shivers through my entire body. I put my hands behind my back to stave off the nervous, yet excited, shaking.
“You’ve got plenty of time for reading outside of the office,” Boyd says. His voice is husky and deep and extremely close to my ear. The heat coming off him is palpable, but I don’t move away. “And what I had in mind doesn’t involve any dusty old books.”
“I don’t mind dusty old books. In fact, I’m quite fond of them,” I say, smiling. He smiles back teasingly. “But what did
you have in mind?” I ask even though I know exactly what he has in mind.
I may be a virgin but I’m not a nun. I know when a man is hitting on me. And I know whether I return the feelings or not. Whatever is going to happen between us, I feel ready for it.
Sure, something inside of me says to be careful, to not mix business and pleasure. It says I need this job to have the kind of life I want. But something more powerful, that I don’t seem able to control, tells me to go for what I want, which is this man in front of me,
As if he knows exactly what I’m thinking, Boyd puts his large hands on my waist and pulls me to him, his face mere inches from mine. He breathes me in, his lips grazing my ear. I let out a moan and feel immediately embarrassed. I clap a hand over my mouth and try to pull away, but he stops me, his hands grasping the fabric of my blouse.
“Don’t feel embarrassed, Grace” he says, his lips on my neck. “Embrace your feelings of desire. I know I’m going to embrace mine.”
The thoughts running through my head are outrageous ones. I can’t believe that this older man is showing the slightest interest in me, let alone wanting to express his interest right here in his office. I push him away from me, almost roughly. He looks at me with surprise.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s just that…” He places his hands around me again, this time, squeezing my ass. My pelvis thrusts toward his and I can feel his desire hardening against my leg. I push him away again, this time more gently.
“I’m a virgin,” I say quickly, wanting to get it over with. I look away from him in embarrassment and make to walk away from him. But he stops me by placing a single finger underneath my jaw, guiding my face back towards his.
“We can fix that,” he says, a smile emerging on his face. He lets go of me and beings unbuckling his pants, sliding the belt out through the loops. “We’ll start with the basics.”
He tosses the belt to the floor and his pants fall to his ankles. The briefs he’s wearing protrude in all the right places. His want for me doesn’t go unnoticed.
I keep my eyes on his waist as he sticks both thumbs under the elastic band on his briefs. He slowly brings them down and his cock springs free. It’s larger than I had anticipated. In fact, it’s enormous. I can only imagine my eyes look like they’re popping out of my head, like a silly cartoon character.
“You like what you see, don’t you?” Boyd asks, a sheepish grin on his face. I assume my entire being has turned into a cartoon character as this point, ready to explode like an ACME bomb. I simply nod my head, because I do like what I see. I like it a lot.
“Come get a better look,” Boyd says, turning around and walking back behind his desk, his cock standing at attention. I catch a glimpse of an extremely firm buttock but it’s nothing compared to his hard cock. I can’t seem to take my eyes off it.
Although I have done plenty of fantasizing, I have never even come close to doing anything sexual with anyone else in real life. It had always been something I had been told to wait for and that I would know the right person when they came along.
Boyd sits down on his office chair and spreads his legs wide. He looks at me as if giving me an invisible command. And obediently, I walk around the desk toward him.
“Grace, I want you to do what I say,” he tells me. “Be a good girl and follow my lead, okay?”
“Okay,” I say immediately, not looking away.
If anyone else had said something like that I would have run away from them. But I love the way he calls me his good girl. I want to please him.
“We are going to be discreet,” he says.
“Of course,” I reply. I don’t want to lose my job as soon as I’ve started it. Nor do I want to tarnish my reputation.
“We are going to keep this business only, and not let our emotions get involved,” he says.
“Of course,” I answer. It only makes sense that we not become romantic. He’s my boss, not my boyfriend. All I want is a little fun.
But my heart skips a beat, trying to tell me I want more. I ignore it.
“And this is only temporary,” he says. “When we’re done, you’ll be assigned to another partner—probably Karen in Wills and Trusts.”
“Okay,” I agree.
That sounds really boring, and I hope it doesn’t happen any time soon. But all I can think about is the here and now. I like the way he’s taking charge and telling me what to do. My pussy is tingling for him. I need him now.
“Okay then,” he says. “If you agree to these terms then I need you to prove it by pleasuring me. That’s all we’ll do for today. Just prove your loyalty for me by getting down on your knees and making me feel good.”
I can’t wait to make him feel good, or try to, anyway. I’d do anything he wanted.
I kneel in front of him and cautiously put my hands on his thighs. They’re firm and muscular underneath my hands. He immediately inhales at my touch.
“Are they too cold?” I ask, pulling my hands away. He shakes his head and I put them back on his skin, feeling the soft firm flesh against my fingers.
“Go ahead, Grace,” he says, coaxing me.
His cock is so big and hard in front of my face, and I love that he wants me so badly.
“I’m not sure how…” I say, trying not to feel embarrassed. He doesn’t seem to mind my naiveté about sex. In fact, it seems to turn him on more.
“I’ll show you how.” He leans forward and takes my hands in his, guiding them towards his pulsating cock. I place my fingers around his long, thick dick and the feeling is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.
“Run your fingers along the tip, in a circular motion,” Boyd says. I do as I’m told. The tip of his member is warm and pulsating with desire. I watch as Boyd grabs the edge of his desk chair, grasping it tightly in his hands. This must be driving him crazy. I smile at the prospect, getting more and more comfortable by the minute, loving that I’m turning him on. That I can make his cock stand so big and hard for me.
“Now, start…” Boyd starts to speak, but I’m way ahead of him. I put both hands on his lovely cock and begin stroking up and down. I move slowly, wanting to make the moment last as long as possible. I notice a little something start to seep from the tip of his penis.
“Are you…?” I ask, letting on to my uncertainties. I don’t want this to be over just yet.
“No, not even close,” Boyd says, looking between my face and his rock-hard cock. “It’s just pre-cum. You’ll know it when the real show starts. I’ll be sure to give you ample warning.” He lays his head back again his chair and breathes deeply. “Go on, Grace. You’re doing great.”
At that, I continue to stroke his cock in an upward and downward motion, watching as more pre-cum escapes from it. As I get more comfortable with the act, I start to follow my instincts. I lick the tip of his dick lightly and Boyd responds in stride, his knuckles whitening against the arms of his chair.
I surprise myself by liking the taste of him. The sensation is so erotic that I want more. And for once in my sheltered life, I’m going for what I want.
I take his cock in my mouth and let the head slide along my tongue. I start to make a swirling motion and feel Boyd’s hands running through my hair, letting out a groan of encouragement. I pull back and look into his face.
He bites his lip and I take him in my mouth again. This time, pressing his considerable girth against the back of my throat. I grasp his thighs tighter and take nearly every inch of him into my mouth. I slowly pull back, sucking as I go, and making a popping sound as my lips move past his head. I lock eyes with Boyd, dragging my tongue along the length of his penis and suck on just the tip. His hands guide my head back to his cock and I start sucking again, pressing him deep inside my throat. I suck harder and deeper with each stroke, keeping eye contact with him the entire time.
“I’m so close, Grace,” Boyd says, and I take that as the signal to back off.
I slide his spit covered cock out of my m
outh and wonder if he will ejaculate near my face. But he shoves it back down my throat.
“No, Grace, take my cock, all the way.” He says it forcefully, with urgency.
“Yes, Boss,” I tell him, even though I can barely get the words out because his cock is filling up my mouth to its brim.
“I didn’t think you would be ready to swallow my cum but you’ve proven differently. You’re quite eager at this and I want you to take all of me.”
“Yes, Boss,” I say again, cupping his balls in my hand while I suck on his shaft.
“Yes. Yes. Good girl.”
He blows his wad into my mouth, and I lap up his sticky, sweet tasting cum. I slurp up every last drop while he looks down at me, smiling.
“I think this is going to work out quite well,” he says approvingly, as he takes his cock out of my mouth and moves it around on my face some, with his hand. I lick off any cum left on the head of it, while he nods approvingly. I feel proud of myself for being able to please him. My pussy tingles with desire but I know he won’t give me what I want yet, which is his big cock. I can tell he’s building up the anticipation, and training me to do what he wants. I love it nearly as much as I think I’d love his cock inside me, filling up the aching hole that is clenching itself so badly with desire for him right now.
“That’s all for now, but we’ll pick it up from here next time,” he says. He puts his briefs back on but leaves his pants on the other side of the room.
I know I enjoy the prospect of doing this again. And soon. I surprise myself with how easily I’ve given into my desire for him. And how excited I am to do it all over again, and then some.
Chapter 10
Boyd
Grace makes to get up to leave. Her hand reaches towards her mouth to wipe away a few remaining juices of mine. I grab her hand and pull her toward me. I kiss her on the mouth, trailing my tongue along her lips, cleaning up the mess for her. She smiles at me and straightens her blouse and skirt.
