Chapter 1
Chase
"To no more school!" Chase clinked his beer bottle with his best friend Bruce's.
"I'm so glad to be done with that place," Bruce replied in a salty tone.
At 22, they'd both just graduated from a conservative, religious university with strict rules, and having lived in campus housing all four years, they were so ready to be free of all the restrictions. This weekend, they'd be moving into an apartment together, and tomorrow, they'd each be starting their first full-time jobs. Chase would be learning the family consulting business, and Bruce was starting off in retail. Chase was grateful to be able to avoid the retail fate. He had so much respect for those that dealt with working in retail hell.
He felt nervous but optimistic about his future. He'd be starting work at his dad's company, and he was looking forward to working with Ellie, his dad's right-hand woman. Her kindness never failed to make him feel warm, and she'd even made him feel better when he'd fought with his dad growing up. She'd been able to provide some adult perspective that actually made sense. He hadn't seen her since he'd gone off to college and wondered if she'd changed at all. He had a feeling working with her would feel natural and easy.
"Dude, now you can finally lose your virginity," Bruce said boisterously, bringing him out of his thoughts of Ellie.
Chase was sure he wasn't imagining that the bar got quiet for a moment. Was it mandatory for anyone asking that question in a public place to forget how to whisper?! He responded in a low voice, hoping Bruce would take the hint and follow his lead. "Yeah, well, I'll have to find someone to WANT to fuck, first."
For years, Chase thought he was just a late bloomer, but after doing a lot of research, he thought he might be somewhere on the demisexual spectrum. No label fit him exactly, but the occasional person inspired his dick to take interest.
"You will. I told you I'd help you out if you wanted," Bruce said with mock seduction.
Chase had seriously considered that option before, but unfortunately, Bruce didn't do it for him. He had no problem with the thought of being with a guy, despite what their school had preached. "Thanks, but no thanks."
Bruce huffed indignantly. "Fine. I'll take these skills elsewhere," he said, bumping his shoulder to Chase's playfully. "In all seriousness, you'll find someone that makes you tick. And I'll be here either way."
Chase felt his eyes sting. "Oh, fuck you and your sentimental shit, bro," he said with a slight sniffle and a laugh.
Bruce cackled. "You're so easy!"
Chase downed the rest of the beer. "Let's go finish unpacking. I have to be up for work in the morning."

Ellie
Ellie adjusted her skirt self-consciously as she heard Chase arrive and greet his father. When she'd chosen her outfit, she'd forgotten that he'd likely be sitting beside her today and her legs wouldn't be hidden under her desk the whole time. If she turned, the skirt would show off too much chubby thigh to be considered proper. Oh, well. Hopefully, the sight wouldn't scare him off on day one.
Ellie was 45 and had worked for Cappy Consulting for the last 15 years. Her boss, Chris Canter, was obsessed with Capybaras. Add that into the family 'CC' names and Cappy Consulting was born. The name was kitschy, sure, but it drew attention and was a conversation starter.
She was excited about Chase learning the business. They'd always gotten along well, and with Chris' retirement on the horizon, this meant more job security for her. She had a ton of flexibility, no time clock, and no IT department spying on her computer, so she wanted to work there for as long as possible.
A notification popped up on her screen indicating a new message. She opened it quickly.
SxyBear4522: Can I please lick your pussy now?
Ellie enjoyed sexy, texting role-play with a few different partners and especially sneaking it in during work. She sighed. She'd have to curb that for now until Chase was no longer shadowing her.
EleMistress: yes, it's dripping for you. Make me cum and then edge yourself every hour until 5 pm. Take a picture before and after you explode. I'll be unavailable until then, so make me proud, my sexy bear.
SxyBear4522: *Dives into your sweet pussy
Ellie's clit throbbed. If only she could find someone to play with in real life. Her confidence and commanding attitude didn't extend to making new friends and meeting people, her age and weight made her feel less than sexy, and her insecurities followed her around like an annoying, yapping puppy. Somehow, online, those things didn't feel like a barrier. She never misrepresented herself, but she felt confident in herself with the barrier of the screen.
She closed completely out of the chat app just as she heard a knock on her door.
"Ellie, you remember my son, Chase." Chris had a huge smile on his face.
"Chase! It's so good to see you!" Ellie rose from her chair and gave Chase a big hug. He'd really grown up since she'd last seen him. His reddish-brown hair was styled neatly, and his beard and goatee made his boyish face look mature. His rolled-up sleeves and tortoiseshell glasses gave him a hipster vibe that totally worked for him.
"It's good to see you too, Ellie."
His deep, warm voice rumbled through her as they embraced. She felt a warm tingling down her spine and chalked it up to enjoying the human connection of the hug.

Chase
Chase felt a stirring beneath the belt as Ellie hugged him and he embraced her firmly. She smelled faintly of coconut and her soft body fit against his comfortably. He felt reluctant to let go after the 'socially acceptable hug timer' had expired. His reaction surprised him, but he brushed it off as a fluke.
"Have a seat and we'll get started," Ellie told him. She continued in a low voice, "Tell me what school was really like later, okay? I want to hear everything."
He returned her conspiratorial smile and nodded, looking her over. Her long, dark hair was streaked with a bit of gray, and she pulled it around her shoulder as she sat. Her warm, pale, green eyes crinkled when she smiled. He noticed how her skirt hiked up her thighs before she quickly scooted under her desk. His eyes traveled over the roll of her belly and her ample chest before he caught himself. His dick twitched and he glanced down questioningly.
Seriously? You couldn't pick someone...I don't know...APPROPRIATE to finally take an interest in?
Luckily, Ellie was too busy opening screens on her computer to notice.
She began by describing the basics of their software and gave more detail on what her job entailed. She went through scenarios of how they'd helped several businesses find their weaknesses and ultimately improve and grow.
As he sat beside her, eyes trained on her lips as they moved, and her soft, coconut scent surrounding him, he found himself in a predicament that most men had outgrown long before. He wasn't sure his dick had ever been this hard. He did his best to pay attention to what she was telling him, and lunch couldn't come fast enough.
At noon sharp, his Dad came in with his silly Capybara tie loosened. "Ready for lunch, Sport? Ellie, you don't mind if I steal him for an hour, do you?"
Ellie rolled her eyes. "Of course not. I'll be headed out in a few minutes anyway. Chase, if you get back first, I'm leaving this window up for you so you can read about this company. The PIN for the computer is 8529."
"Sounds good," he croaked before clearing his throat and smiling weakly.

Luckily, chatting with his father on the way to the restaurant calmed his wayward dick and he was able to have a normal lunch. When they got back to the office, Ellie was still out, so he sat down and keyed in the PIN she'd given him.
Ding
A chat window popped up and he read the words before he could stop himself.
