Author's Intro: This story is mostly voyeurism with a heavy dose of lesbianism and other fun things. Stay patient at the beginning for a bit of character and plot development, and I hope you'll be rewarded. Based on reader feedback, I did a major rewrite of the ending and think it works. Thanks for reading!

"I can't believe it."
Cassie shrugged. "You're a trusting guy, Tom. But I've been monitoring this for a while, and someone is stealing from us."
We were sitting in her office, the door closed, and the facts were laid out on her desk. She had worked for me for a dozen years now, and she knew her stuff. If she said that someone was stealing inventory, then they were stealing inventory.
"How much do you think they've gotten?"
She leaned forward, scanning the spreadsheets as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "It's not huge. Maybe $1,000 a month. The gemstones are coming in, but they're not being sold and they're not still in the store."
I leaned back in my chair and sighed. It was a miniscule amount given the size of the company, but it obviously needed to be dealt with. "And you think it's an insider?"
"It has to be. It's too regular. And they're taking the less valuable stones that we get in higher quantities. It's easier to cover up."
I nodded thoughtfully, then lowered my voice even though we were the only two people in the room. "We need to catch this person in the act with ironclad evidence. Maybe we should set up some cameras."
Cassie sat back too, nodding and pushing her nerdy but cute glasses back up on her nose. Her natural smile flashed reluctantly, bringing with it a dimple on each cheek. "I think that's the only way," she agreed.
We were always on the same page, Cassie and me, and that was only part of the reason I adored her. I had hired her straight out of college back when my company was a startup, and she had been a superstar since Day One. As the company grew, I kept promoting her, and now twelve years later she was my Chief Operating Officer, overseeing a staff of nearly 100 jewelry designers and salespeople. She was also my chief confidante on all things corporate.
Of course, the other reason I adored her, the reason I would never admit, was that I had a huge stockpile of fantasies about her. I was ten years older than her and happily married, so nothing was ever going to happen, but it didn't stop me from imagining. She was the perfect complement to my wife, smaller and more lean, brunette instead of blonde, and contemporarily cute as compared to my wife's classic beauty. In short, she would be a perfect change of pace if only I was allowed to have one.
And that ass...oh, that ass.
But back to business. I smiled at her. "Let me do a little research. I'll get back to you." My heart fluttered a little when she smiled back.

"Hi, honey!" Angela called out as I came through the front door. The dogs bounded into the foyer and greeted me with enthusiasm, so I wrestled with them for a moment.
"Hello!" I called back. The house was large and I had no idea where her voice came from, so I searched until I found her in the kitchen, mixing up a salad. I gave her a hug from behind and a kiss on the neck.
"How was your day?" I asked.
"It was good. I just took on a new client, and I think it's going to be fun. They're expanding into Thailand and we'll help set them up." Angela was a high-powered attorney, and she dealt in issues that I didn't understand.
"Hmm, sounds fun. Will you get any travel there?" My arms were wrapped around her waist and I slowly brought them up to cup her breasts. Angela had amazing breasts, full and large and still firm even in her forties. She giggled and shrugged me off.
"Behave," she said, turning around with the salad and giving me a peck on the lips. "Maybe I'll get to go. I'm not sure. I'll be working with Alaina and Meg, so we could have a blast together. Now grab some plates."
I got two plates out of the cupboard and followed her into the dining room, checking her out for the millionth time as we walked. She had matured physically from the sorority girl that I had married so long ago, but in a way that I didn't mind at all. She now had a curvier figure on her 5-7 frame, and it swayed sweetly in her lawyering suit as she walked in her bare feet. She'd kept her blonde hair long over the years, but her face had acquired a regality to replace the innocence that had once attracted me. Along the way, she had acquired a sophistication that was intoxicating and even a little intimidating.
We sat down together and began to eat. "So how was your day?" She asked. "Anything exciting happen?"
"Nah. Same old thing. We finalized a great design for an engagement ring that I think will sell well." We had learned not to talk in detail about our work. We were both highly successful, but our professional worlds were very different. I knew that she'd have a fit if I told her about the thefts, so she didn't need to know.
So we talked about politics and the latest news and gossiped a little about our coworkers.
"How's Cassie doing?" Angela asked after complaining a bit about her boss. "How did her date go the other night?" Given her tenure and her high position on my management team, Angela knew Cassie well and asked about her often.
I laughed. "He showed up in a t-shirt and took her to Applebee's. She was not impressed."
Angela clucked her tongue disapprovingly. "She's so cute. I want to set her up with somebody. There's a new attorney in the office who could be a good fit."
"You've tried that before."
