This is a short story I wanted to share. Many of my stories are longer or have many chapters. I thought it would be fun to put up some shorter ones that I really enjoyed writing. There is no follow up to this story.
The VP asked me to take over a new department at work.. Previously, I oversaw all Marketing and Business Process Management. The new department included overseeing all the Account Managers too and that included an Account Manager in training named Dillon.
He graduated last December and is spending a year working in various depts. to learn everything about our company before he steps into his role of Account Manager or what everyone calls "AM." He's very eager, energetic, supremely confident and even a bit arrogant. I have a good-sized office that was originally a room for 3 of our developers. I kept all 3 desks, 2 are mine and I use the 3rd as a training desk, so I can put new hires there while I train them. It is convenient to have them close. I rather enjoyed putting him there as he is nice to look at.
After a couple days he got much more comfortable with me and less intimidated. He was telling a story about having taken out his girlfriend over the weekend and he ended by hinting (with a hand gesture) that she rewarded him with oral sex. I looked up at him and he immediately had that look where I could tell he was trying to figure out if he should have taken his story that far or not. I smiled & winked and said, "I'm human."
He chuckled and said, "for the record, I'm not a selfish boyfriend. I always repay the favor. Actually, I love doing it. I do it for her all the time whether I get it back or not. I know a lot of guys don't like to do it. What about you?"
I completely stopped and turned my whole chair toward him. "I don't think I can give this conversation an HR stamp of approval." I started to turn back away.
"You're human. I've heard you make some fairly colorful jokes while talking to other people here."
I replied, "Yeah, I've known those people a long time and they don't work for me, so it's a little different. But to answer your question, yes."
"I figured you'd be great with women with how you know everything about convincing people to do what you want with all that rhetoric stuff you teach. I have usually just begged girls I was dating. Let me go down on you, please please." He said. I was laughing to myself. He thought I was laughing about him begging to go down on girls so he kept on talking, "c'mon baby let eat you out. I'll spend hours using my tongue on you."
I waved my hand to get him to stop. He was smiling and quickly adjusted himself. I said, "I meant yes, I'm definitely orally fixated, but my begging does sound a bit different."
Still smiling he asked, "What's your go to line?"
"Well, I'm married now, but back in the day I used say 'Your wife won't find out and I promise to swallow it all.'" I said, staring right at him, waiting for his reaction.
He just stared back for a second trying to figure out if I was joking or what. I decided to save him from further discomfort, "I'm gay. You obviously didn't bother to look at the pictures on my desk did you?"
