Lily sat nervously outside of the conference room, fidgeting slightly as she adjusted her cardigan. She glanced over to the woman sitting across from her, her colleague, Sara, who was hired around the same time as her. Both of them were entry level media consultants, hired to help develop the Sabres' web and social media presence. But there were rumors circulating throughout the office that only one of them would be kept on after 12 months; after 9 months of the job, Lily was now fighting to keep the job that she'd worked her entire adult life to have.
She tried not to be catty, but something about Sara rubbed her the wrong way. She was only 23, 5 years younger than Lily, but she carried herself with a confidence and demeanor that bordered on arrogance. Lily knew that she was probably just projecting her own insecurities at the poor girl. Nevertheless, the combination of her carriage and her dress sent the wrong signals to Lily. Maybe she was old-fashioned, but she couldn't help thinking that Sara was unafraid to use her body to secure the job. Lily's eyes scanned up Sara's body, 2 inch black pumps, bare toned calfs, her legs crossed under a skirt that fell a few inches above the knee - about an inch shorter than seemed necessary - a white button-down blouse, open just enough to allow what was undoubtedly a push-up bra to create some nice cleavage.
It's not that Lily didn't dress well, but she tried to keep it more professional. Her tight black slacks stuck to her toned and firm calves and thighs, accentuating her butt - well-shaped from years of swimming and running. She wore a silk sleeveless top with a decent neckline, and a blue cardigan to keep her from feeling too self-conscious. She knew that lots of the men in the office stared at her ass as she walked down the hallway, and followed her tits with their eyes whenever she leaned over, hoping to catch a glimpse of her c-cup breasts. But she tried not to come off as too slutty. She really loved this job, and didn't want to get fired for "distracting the boys." It was Sara's care-free attitude that annoyed her. Lily worked her ass off for years to get this job, and Sara was hired almost right out of school.
It was tempting to blame her husband, whose medical school time and expenses meant putting Lily's career on hold while she worked a thankless but well-paying office job to support them during his studies. But now that he had finished and was employed at a hospital downtown, it was time for her career to finally get going. She couldn't blame him; he had been thankful of her sacrifice and was supporting her career move now, even though it meant less pay. She just couldn't help thinking that if she had gotten in when she was as young as Sara that she wouldn't be vying for her career against a younger woman who would twirl her hair and giggle at every lewd joke a co-worker made.
Their boss finally called them into the conference room and gestured towards the chair to sit down. Sara sat down first, and Lily watched Stan's eyes follow the hemline of her skirt up to her thigh. She caught herself from shaking her head as she sat down and took out her tablet. Sara looked up and met Stan's eyes and smiled, before pulling out her own tablet, crossing her legs, and adjusting her skirt.
"I know you two have probably heard the rumors," Stan began, meeting both women's eyes, "and yes, they are true. I don't have much control over it, but we've been mandating to cut costs in this department. While both of you have done excellent work, we can only afford to extend one of your contracts. The decision will be made by a committee, made up of myself, my supervisor, and an outside HR consultant."
"When will the decision be made?" Sara blurted out.
"In August. We'll review your work, evaluate your future potential, and meet with both of you prior to making the decision." Stan turned to Lily, "Do you have any questions, Lily?"
"Just one," she said, trying to make her voice larger than she felt. "Can you be more specific on the criteria for selection?"
"Like I said, we want to hire the best for the job, which is why we're bringing in an outside consultant who will be developing some indicators that we can measure performance objectively," he replied, slowing down and emphasizing the word 'objectively.' "If there's nothing else," he continued, "I suggest you two get back to work. You've both done a wonderful job, and I will be happy to write strong references for whoever doesn't make the cut. In a perfect world we would keep both of you, but this field has gotten just as competitive as every other, and we have to keep costs down."
Stan stood up and shook Sara's hand, who nervously thanked him and quickly exited the room back to her cubicle. Lily stood and received his handshake, which seemed slightly longer than it should have, but Lily dismissed the thoughts. As she gathered her tablet and pen, she looked up at Stan whose eyes hadn't left her chest.
"Can I ask you a question? Do I really have a chance? Can I be doing more? I really want to keep this job. I'll double by output; I'll work extra hours. Just tell me."
Stan smiled and took a step towards her; Lily nervously glanced around and noticed that the blinds of the conference room remained closed. He put a hand on her shoulder, gently squeezing it, and she followed his eyes down to her left hand, where her wedding band and engagement ring caught his eye. His hand remained on her shoulder, however, as he adjusted his eyes back to hers.
"You're doing a fine job," he said, speaking more softly than before, "but I'd like to see you be a bit more assertive in meetings." Stan made another step towards her, his body only inches from her; his hand slid down her back. "I want to see you really dedicate yourself to this job, and show me why you're invaluable." His hand had reached her lower back, gently pulling her towards him.
Lily knew she should stop this; she should report it to HR. Get this ass fired. But then she'd be that woman, the one causing trouble; there would be no way they'd renew her contract then. She thought about her husband. He would support her. He wouldn't have to know if she flirted back with her boss just a little bit to keep her dream job. Once her contract was renewed, she could go to HR, or transfer to another department. There was also something compelling about Stan's confidence and his body. His tailored black shirt stretched perfectly across his firm chest and broad shoulders. His slacks drew attention to his butt and thighs. He kept his shows polished, and had a seemingly unending supply of fashionable silk ties. When his hand cupped her ass, she not only didn't stop him, but she involuntarily took a sharp inhale, closing her eyes. Surprising herself, she found herself enjoying his attention, letting him pull her body against his. Her excitement only grew as she felt the bulge in his pants pressed against her. Alex had been so busy at work, they hadn't fucked in over a month. She found herself strangely overcome with desire. It took everything in her not to grab Stan, pull him close, and let kiss her. She almost wanted him to ravage her right there; Alex didn't have to know.
His hand fell back to his side, and she came back to her senses, slowly opening her eyes meeting his deep brown eyes. "Just let me know if there's anything I can do to enhance my performance," she whispered, trying to recollect herself, before stepping back and picking up her things. She knew his eyes were glued to her ass as she exited the conference room. She accentuated the swaying of her hips as she walked out, trying not to think about what might have happened next if she didn't walk away. But she couldn't help it; the image of her bent over the conference table, biting her lip to keep quiet as he had her way with her in a crowded office building flooded insatiably into her mind. She was red and breathing fast as she walked back to her desk, hoping that no one noticed her flush cheeks. She sat down, squeezing her thighs together, as the feeling of arousal continued to pulse through her body. It wasn't even about keeping her job anymore. She still wanted that, of course, but a more primal animalistic instinct had overcome her. She grabbed her purse and headed to the ladies' room.
Closing and locking the door behind her, she stood in a stall and slid off her sweater. She peeled her blouse down just enough and shifted her shoulders, squeezing her breasts together. She took 2 quick pictures of her well-endowed cleavage before unbuttoning and sliding down her pants. Sliding a finger over her slit through her black lace panties, she noticed a wet spot already growing. Moving her phone between her legs, she took a few pictures of her fingers rubbing herself, and sliding under her panties. Finally sliding them out of the way, she took a final picture of her pussy, her pubic hair trimmed but not shaved completely off, before redressing herself. Luckily her short stature meant that she was completely hidden by the stall. She sent the pictures to Alex with a two word message, "Need you."
