"Portia," I shouted, "get your ass in here!"
I'd been having trouble with my office temp. In the past, she'd been chronically late, had difficulty following instructions and rarely met deadlines. Her attempts to overcome these deficiencies with low cut blouses and mini-skirts probably explained why she was still temping. I had considered letting her go, but fortunately I'd discovered that what Portia really needed was discipline. All it took was a firm hand, and she'd started to shape up.
Portia dashed into my cramped office with respectable haste, carrying a notepad. Her cornrow braids kept her hair back from her pretty face, which was presently demurely downcast. I caught a hint of her warm brown eyes glancing at my face and twitch of a smile, carefully hidden, on her full, dark lips. Her white blouse made a lovely contrast with her cocoa colored skin and, while low cut enough to show off her lovely cleavage, it was no longer disreputably so. Her skirt was likewise improved, still short but no longer slutty. I had been very clear last time that she would dress in a presentable manner, and Portia was clearly making an effort. I wondered if she had abided by all the conditions of her new dress code. I intended to find out.
"Portia," I said firmly, rising from my desk and walking over to her, "I've been reviewing the reports for the new client."
"Yes, Mr. Manchester," she said hesitantly.
"I believe I was very clear about the formatting the client requested," I said.
"Yes Mr. Manchester," she was worried now.
"And did you format them precisely as I asked?" I said firmly, moving behind her.
"Umm... I thought I did Mr. Manchester," she answered softly.
"Portia," I sighed, stepping close behind her. Our bodies were almost touching. I could feel the heat rising from her skin and smell her soap. This close, I could feel the tension in my body, and I made no effort to resist my growing erection.
"Portia," I repeated, all but whispering in her ear, "I can see you're still having trouble following directions. You were doing so well but I can't be lax. You need discipline, my dear."
