There are going to be mistakes, misspellings and many other noticable literary issues with my stories. I'm here to put my thoughts into text. If you like the story, let me know what you think.

Prologue: A young woman takes a business trip with her boss not knowing that her boss is consumed with desire for her and plans on using the trip to seduce her.
Isabel
I'm living my best life, an exhausting amount of work and sacrifice has lead to the best job/boss I could ask for and I have exceeded every goal that I've set for myself.
So let's start at the beginning. I was raised by a young single mother who instilled a strong work ethic and never quit attitude. She is my hero personally and professionally.
I graduated high school at 17 just a few credits shy of an associates degree, then I was able successfully complete an accelerated bachelor's degree program that took me one year to complete with top honors. After which I was able to secure a spot in the Yale Law School's three-year J.D. program that provides students with a legal education of outstanding breadth and depth. I laid out a very aggressive set of goals for myself to achieve. The goals were based on my desire to enjoy the fruits of my relentless hard work. The academic accomplishments didn't come without monumental sacrifice. Thousands of hours of full time school, I gave up all my free time. Spring, Summer, fall, winter and even birthdays - notably my 21st birthday passed without any celebration. I was completely focused on my future and life goals. It took me just over 4 years filled absolute commitment, hard work, and no social life to get to this point.
"It was all worth it! "
I was heavily recruited by several law firms, but I had a specific one in mind. When they contacted me, well.. I interviewed and I'm now working for one of countries top three law firms.
After a couple months and being a junior associate opportunities kept coming. Everything I've worked so hard for was falling into place. I no longer had to overwhelm myself for once in my life. The opportunities we're just there for the taking.
That being said, Just before my three month anniversary Bridget, the newest senior partner and my immediate Superior, visited my cubicle and informed me that there was a senior associate opening and I was at the top of the list for the promotion. A week later I was waiting to be interviewed for the Senior Associate position.
Katherine a senior partner hired me basically on the spot for a position I didn't apply for. She has taken me under her wing and has been guiding me through the ins and outs of being an intellectual property lawyer.
Why intellectual property law? Intellectual property law will not only allow me to progress into an exciting and ever-evolving area of law, but will also teach me attention to detail, technical and scientific knowledge and broader awareness of areas like commercial law, creative commons and litigation. Plenty of excitement dealing with trademarks, patents, trade secrets, licensing, etc., and the right boss and coworkers make it a dream job.
The interview was the first time meeting Katherine. I sat with another candidate in the lobby outside one of our large conference rooms, when my name was called I jumped a little being the second candidate to interview it caused me to be a little nervous. Quickly standing, I composed myself and as confidently walked towards the conference room door. On the other side of the door I was greeted by Katherine with a prolonged handshake, it felt like time stood still for hours but realistically was only a full minute of electricity surging between us gave me an unreal feeling of lust for Katherine. Finally she broke our hold on each other with a beaming smile and we entered the conference room. Boom!! my nerves skyrocketed at the mere presence of this woman. As we walked to our perspective chairs I studied Katherine in every way. The simple act of a prolonged handshake had my head spinning, curiosity and multitude of emotions filled my body.
As I sat down across from Katherine, and I somehow felt powerless, completely transfixed by her. I have never been affected by a person this way, male or female. It's a strange mix of excitement arousal and the inability to even move in front of this woman. I just stared blankly at her as she shuffled through papers on the desk. The way my mind and body reacted to Katherine absolutely puzzled me. I have never felt attraction to another female in my life before until I met her.
To say she was stunning was an understatement, 5 foot 10-ish long curly brunette hair, toned firm long legs and athletic body. With her current attire my best guess would be large c cup teetering on d. She was dressed in a black skirt just an inch above the knee tight and form fitting complimented with a loose fitting white blouse showing a hint of cleavage, but still very professional.
Katherine looked up from the papers she shuffled and we locked eyes, I helplessly stared into her beautiful green eyes. "Isabel or Isabella? Isabel?" Katherine said a little louder the second time breaking me out of my paralyzed state. I apologized and told her Isabel was correct. Now with my heart racing I internally chastised myself for behaving like an idiot and tried to calmed myself.
I sat answering all of the run of the mill questions. Motionless except for my eyes, the only part of me moving. Slowly studying her face, Katherine's beauty was captivating, seemingly almost magnetic. She spoke with a stern, confident voice that sent a surge of hot blood to my most intimate areas, this is something I had never experienced from another female before this moment.
Katherine
Out of the boardroom and into the conference room today, I was doing interviews with the top talent at the firm looking to fill a senior associate position. The first candidate I interviewed had checked all the boxes plus some and was exactly what we were looking for, the other two candidates were very new to the firm and would have to make a profoundly amazing impression to get the promotion. The senior associate position is a normally a three interview process. Each of the partners ask unique questions and form their own impression. Afterwards we get together and decide who will best qualified for the position.. As I opened the conference room door I was face to face with the next candidate, she was closely waiting on the other side of the door.
What t I saw before me was a blonde bombshell, a beauty among beauties, as I extended my hand and politely greeted her, but when our hands touched I melted from the heat she was radiating, I lost my train of thought and could not speak. There's an old saying of a spark between two people meeting for the first time, but this was more like a lightning bolt!
I probably held her hand for a way too long. Finally I collected myself and broke our embrace, then walked back to my chair and looked over her resume and qualifications, while composing myself.
Once I scanned through her impressive resume, I looked up to her face.
We made eye contact, Her beautiful blue eyes felt as if they were peering into my soul. I did my best to conduct a professional interview, at times scolding myself, "Come on Katherine you've interviewed attractive candidates before."
As the interview continued I tried focusing on the documented questions, Every time I looked up, those blue eyes were staring back.
After what seemed like forever but was only about 20 minutes I was going completely flustered, I changed course and went into detail of the position and responsibilities. I then asked her thoughts, she expressed gratitude, showed an eagerness to learn and improve and said she is ready to fulfill the responsibilities of the position.
"I would like you to fulfill another position Isabel!"
OMG.. I just said that out loud! My subconscious just threw me under the bus.
A quizzical look flashed across her face as if she knew what I truly asked her to do. I had to think fast, damage control 101. I told her other partners had to approve before I could offer her the position, so I quickly excused myself and left the conference room.
