She'd been here about a month when I walked into her office that day. It was usually just the two of us in the office together. She worked part time around her schedule at the local junior college while I worked full time. It was a family run business with me being the owners' eldest son. I had the book smarts of my family's generation so I was put in the office as an estimator. It was usually a boring job, until they hired her.
"Her" was an exquisite brunette by the name of Sheri. She was an expressive young woman only four years my junior. She had straight flowing hair that never seemed to tangle, no matter how much she played with it. Hazel eyes, and cupid bow lips. Her body matched perfectly with near C cup breasts, long legs, slender hips, and an ass that swung hypnotically when she walked. I was quite surprised my folks had hired her. They were considering her or a homely looking 40-something to fill the position. They seemed to be at a draw when they asked my opinion, which was a mistake, of course, because I was thoroughly biased. I argued all the logical points of who to hire and of course almost all of them pointed to this gorgeous creature, Sheri. I of course never mentioned the true reasons I wanted to see her hired: I wanted some eye candy around the office and I wanted someone close to my own age to talk to for a change.
I was happy, no, ecstatic, when my folks hired her. And I still was a month later when I walked into her office and found her playing yet another game of solitaire. Her job, and mine for that matter, had its exciting times, but there were a lot of boring times as well, and this was one of them. She looked up as I walked in. I couldn't help but smile into those beautiful eyes. She really was attractive and I envied her boyfriend in a selfish, chauvinistic kind of way. I walked to her and laid a small pile of papers on her desk next to her. "Could you enter these invoices when you get a chance? No rush." She nodded and I watched her play. I mean, I watched
her
play. I sat on the edge of her desk to make myself more comfortable and also to get a better angle at the blouse she was wearing. "How are the solitaire gods treating you today?"
"Like crap," she sighed, "How do you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Do your job every day and not go totally insane from boredom?"
I chuckled a bit. This was the perfect setup for a sarcastic reply and my mind was already in the gutter from watching her. "I jerk off at least once a day at work." I curled my lip up at the corner to let her know I was joking, but her eyes still shot into mine trying to find the truth of what I'd just said. Too many years of poker had taught me not to give anything away with my eyes. I chuckled again and left the room.
I was lost in my work back in my own office when about an hour later I heard a quiet knock on my door. I never shut my door so whoever it was was simply being polite. I called for the person to come in and Sheri came around the corner with a strange look on her face. "You don't have to knock, Sheri, you know that."
"Well, I just didn't want to interrupt you in...in a private moment." And I'd smash my thumb with a hammer if I didn't think she was blushing.
"Private moment?" I whispered to myself. I'd totally forgotten what I'd told her earlier but it came rushing back in perfect clarity. "Oh! That! I was joking earlier. I'm sorry, I should have made it more clear."
Her shoulders seemed to slump a little and she nodded slowly and started heading back towards my door. "Wait a minute," I said to stop her. She looked up at me slowly and I could swear that I saw... "Are you disappointed?"
She shrugged, "I don't know. I...I just thought that if you
did
, well you know, that.... that maybe I could watch."
I still have a bruise on my chest from where my jaw hit it. I could tell from her expression that that wasn't quite the reaction she wanted from me. I had to think fast, but my mind was still trying to disengage the parking brake. I couldn't believe that one of the most beautiful young women I'd ever known, and certainly the most beautiful woman I'd ever worked with, just asked to watch me masturbate. An act I hadn't even performed since I was a kid trying to figure out his hormones. "I haven't masturbated in years," I told her. Before she could interrupt, "But, I would certainly start again if you want me to."
She looked torn. As if she were fighting some internal struggle. "Look, I'm not a mind reader," I told her, "but I do know we could work up some kind of trade if you'd like."
She smiled a little. "Like what?"
It was my turn to shrug. "Well, if I'm going to jerk off I'm going to need some stimuli..." I let my eyes roll into hers and then down her body.
She shifted from foot to foot uncomfortably and looked at the floor. "I...I have a boyfriend and I don't want to cheat on him. So I won't have sex with you."
My laugh must have caught her off guard because her eyes shot up to my face. "I don't want sex. I don't think your some kind of tramp willing to turn a trick to get what she wants (author's note: not that that's a bad thing). There are sexier things than sex that you could do for me." This time I couldn't help it as my eyes rolled down her light blue summer blouse and knee length matching skirt. I rubbed my chin thoughtfully and looked at my toes for a couple seconds. When I looked up she was all eyes and ear for me. "I want you to flash me."
I don't know what she was expecting, but this probably wasn't it. She looked around my office hesitantly and tugged at the bottom of her blouse unconciously, "You mean right now?"
