It was a long-standing tradition, every year they had a big meeting for the whole company.
Ostensibly, this was to announce new policy, set a direction and for teams that worked from home these days to agree on team procedures. However, the real purpose was for the whole company to have a big blow out party and write it off. They took over most of a hotel in whatever city they were staying in, this time it was some sleepy seaside town. The hotel was creaking at the seams and the 3rd and last night of drinking and networking had taken it's toll, with many leaving for home before dinner. Those who lived further away had an extra night in the hotel so they all went for dinner together. Pete got to the lobby early and like a good IT guy he ordered a pair of Ubers on the company account. He had been so grateful when Sammy had told him the restaurant was already booked, he'd been dreading making that decision. Helen, Tom, and Tony had been in the bar already, so they went in one, leaving Jodie and Sammy to share the other one.
The usually quiet Jodie was a little more vocal as she'd been having a few celebratory drinks in the bar beforehand.
"First female top salesman in 30 years of the company!" repeated Sammy, "I still can't believe it"
"Sales PERSON", replied Jodie firmly, but with a smile on her face.
"Oh yeah of course of course but the FIRST and by MILES..." bubbled Sammy.
She hadn't stopped going on about it, but Jodie didn't usually get such attention and was enjoying it. Pete was sitting between them in the back wishing he'd sat in the front like he wanted to but when Jodie said "get in" he'd just done as he was told. Women had always intimidated him but the slightly older saleswoman was something else. He just knew she thought he was an idiot, though she'd never said anything.
"... and then they announced your name, and I was just YEEEEESSSS!"
Sammy was leaning over to chat to Sammy across him and her ubiquitous plunge neckline was right in his eyeline, with her long red hair smelling so sweet just inches from his face.
"OK OK!", giggled Jodie uncharacteristically, "yes it was awesome! I rock!". She crossed her long legs ostentatiously, and flicked her dark hair.
"Don't you think she's awesome, Pete?"
"OH GOD", thought Pete - Jodie was intimidating but Sammy was something else. She was so full on, a party girl and borderline cougar she always looked at Pete like he was a rare steak. "um yeah, she's uh really, uh, valuable to the company".
"PFFFFT she's so much more than that, you should know that...",
But whatever Sammy was about to say was cut short and Pete was saved by their arrival at the restaurant. Helen and her team had already arrived and were sat chatting as soon as they arrived, discussing some important feature in the product heatedly. Sammy had diligently booked a table for 6 but the restaurant had tables of 4 so they left the dull trio and moved to a table nearby.
"I want some meat inside me" grinned Sammy, and looked at Pete.
"Uhm, yes they do good quarter pounders here...", mumbled Pete.
"I was thinking of a footlong actually?" replied Sammy, casually - earning a smiling eye-roll from Jodie.
Sammy was laying it on a little thick even for her, but they'd had a few drinks and she'd worked hard. Still, the reference to a big dick was far from subtle and got Jodie thinking about how long since she'd last had a really satisfying lovemaking session. Actually, scratch that, when was the last time he'd had a really good fuck? Sales don't make themselves and earning the top spot had come at a cost.
Pete had turned over the menu a few times and looked through the drinks menu. "I can't find hotdogs anywhere on the menu?" Jodie stifled a chuckle but Sammy howled with laughter.
"Just ignore her, Pete" suggested Jodie, and patted his hand.
His face had looked blank and lost, but at her touch his skin felt like he'd touched the power supply of a desktop. And he sat bolt upright, his spine not the only thing stiffening.
He waved over the waiter and sat back as the girls chatted, he was just going to be polite, eat his burger and then go home. Well, back to his hotel room. The hotel wifi was slow, but he could watch a movie or... something. He might need to as he'd been on edge since the driver over, pressed against both women. He knew Sammy might actually sleep with him if he wanted to, but he was so scared of her, so intimidated, that he worried what might happen. He also knew that if it didn't go well the whole company would know before he'd even got dressed. He finished his chips, even as Sammy stole some of them, and excused him to go to the bathroom.
When he got there he splashed water on his face, and adjusted himself, then looked in the huge mirror in the bathroom. He knew he wasn't ugly, he got Tinder matches occasionally - they just all fell apart once he started messaging. They kept asking what he wanted, and he just didn't know what to say.
When he got back to the table, the girls were laughing together then both looked at him. He panicked wondering if he'd left his zip undone but knew he hadn't - he'd checked three times before leaving the bathroom. He still felt naked in their gaze, but walked up anyway. As he was about to sit down, they both stood up.
"Um... what about dessert?"
"We're not having dessert; I didn't think you'd want any." said Jodie casually. "We're going to go find somewhere else to drink".
"Uh, I'm thinking, uh I might go back to uh..."
"No no, you're coming with us" said Jodie, still casually but with a tone that made it fact and not up for discussion. Maybe something about her sales training gave her that voice?
"Should I call another Uber...?" asked Pete and took out his phone and immediately started scrolling. "um... I can't see...I mean I don't think there's any..."
"Don't worry Pete!" said Sammy. "Just leave it to Auntie Sammy..." with a coy wink.
"Apparently, Sammy grew up here.", explained Jodie.
"Yup, and there's only one place that still serves drinks around here without charging a tourist tax".
Pete looked on the map on his phone and couldn't see anything.
"I really think I should just..."
"Are you going to leave two young defenceless women alone in a strange town, Peter?" inquired Jodie.
"Oh uhm no of course not, I mean, definitely not, I mean... uh defenceless? Ummm."
"There's a good boy" giggled Jodie and Sammy chuckled to herself, as if responding to a joke only she could hear.
"I'm going to take you both to... The Boot Factory".
Pete recalled seeing that on the map but had ignored it, mistaking it for - well - a factory. It also didn't have the usual logo for a pub or bar. Just the name.
Sammy looked for any sign of recognition on the faces of her two colleagues but nothing materialised. This was going to be a fun evening...
As the girls walked off in the direction of the bar, Pete dropped in behind and continued fiddling with his phone doom scrolling on social media, playing Tetris, anything to suppress the anxiety he felt about going to a new place with these two women. He looked up at them both ahead and immediately regretted it. Not because it was unpleasant, but because the sight before him was overwhelmingly feminine. Jodie's long legs in her pencil skirt with an obscene split the gave flashes as she walked was definitely something to behold. Pete's biggest problem was how tight that skirt was on her rear - he couldn't keep his eyes off it as it wiggled with every step. He pulled his eyes off Jodie and found himself transfixed with how much "bounce" could be observed from behind in Sammy's more than ample chest... "oh god... stop..." he told himself and forced himself to continue fiddling with his phone lest his hands decide to touch what was crying out for attention in his loins.
"You won't be able to play with that little thing when we get there..." giggled Sammy.
Pete blushed crimson before Jodie followed up with "I think she meant your phone, right Sammy?"
