I entered the cool air of the kitchen and sighed at the pleasurable feeling of the air drifting in from the bank of open windows on the 5th floor. The office was stifling hot, the fans attempting to produce a cool breeze but instead doing little except blow hot air around the box of an office.. I had been in my new job for just a couple of weeks and was really enjoying it, but was keen to show what a hard worker I was so had been labouring away at a pile of paperwork all morning.
The other members of staff were friendly and the boss didn't seem too bad although I hadn't really met him officially, he did have a reputation for being quite harsh at times. I had seen him around the building a couple of times although I had managed little more contact than a smile and a brief good morning when we passed each other, although I had noticed him watching me a couple of times, almost as though he knew me but couldn't place where he knew me from.
One thing that I did love was the fact that I could dress so smartly for the office, I loved slipping into a pencil skirt and fitted blouse with heels, it made me feel sexy, confident and somehow more efficient as I learnt the ropes in my new job.
On the day that I finally met my new boss it had been a very trying and busy day and I hadn't managed to take a break until it reached late afternoon and I was finally able to escape from my desk and retreat to the kitchen for a cup of tea. I flicked the kettle on and waiting for it to boil, opened the fridge to retrieve the milk and that was when I spotted it. The most delicious, moist looking, piece of chocolate cake was sat on a plate in the fridge. My mouth instantly began to water and I realised that I was incredibly hungry, having not had a sufficient lunch break.
It did look delicious but obviously had an owner, so there was no way I was intending to pinch it, but oh my, it did look good. And there was a little bit of chocolate fudge that had fallen sideways and was resting on the edge of the plate, no one would notice if I just ate that tiny bit would they? I crouched down and with my forefinger, smeared the chocolate fudge topping from the plate and raised it to my mouth at the exact moment the kitchen door swung open and my new boss appeared in the doorway.
He stood there, impeccably dressed in a dark grey suit, white shirt and red tie, eyeing me as I crouched down by the fridge, my skirt riding up my thighs, my mouth open and a smear of chocolate fudge frosting on my raised finger, his gaze taking me in equally as much as mine did him. A brief smile flickered on his lips before he pushed the door closed behind him and entered the room fully, his eyes never leaving mine.
"What are you doing? Are you eating my chocolate cake?" He questioned, his eyebrows rising quizzically as I felt my cheeks redden and my words stuttering as I crouched low before him.
"I wasn't eating it honestly, I just noticed that there was a tiny bit of fudge that was on the edge of the plate, and it looked so delicious I couldn't help myself. I am so sorry Sir" as if by instinct the S word was out of my mouth, perhaps something to do with the fact I was crouching before him and he appeared so strong and in control in front of me that my submissiveness had bubbled to the surface.
It was almost as though the very word 'Sir' had started cogs whirring in his mind and suddenly there was a flash of recognition on his face.
