Ding Dong Quack Quack Quack!
"
Steven!
" Emily shouts to the office, "
What the fuck did you do to the doorbell?
"
She starts laughing, and Steve laughs back, "Just for
you
, sweetie. Here. Lemme fix it. Who is it?"
Em has walked into the foyer and is checking the monitor by the door, announcing back to Steve, "Tom and Claire." She opens the door, and, yes, she is naked, per her agreement with Steven. "Hi, guys!"
Tom is grinning from hearing the corrupted doorbell, "Hi, cutie! What's with the doorbell?" He bends down for a quick buss.
"Steven's hi-jinks. We won't hear it again.
I hope!
" again shouting back to the office. "Come on in, guys!"
Steve is still in the office laughing at her.
"Hello, Emily!" Claire reaches for a hug. "Apparently you guys are still coming down from your little adventure. You doing okay so far working for Tom?"
"I never see 'er, Claire. She's in another building, anyway."
"That's right, and
I think
it's better that way," Emily seriously responds. "But, yes, it's a great place to work, and the folks in my department are nice. They haven't piled
too much
on me just yet. But wait until you ask Jax that question."
"Am I in trouble?" Tom asks.
"Hardly. There are issues, however. Let
him
explain it."
"No surprise. One of our motivations to bring Jackson on was a couple of projects that had derailed. We obviously see eye-to-eye on that."
"Talk to
him
. Anyway, you know the drill. Strip!" Emily grins big. "Steve's wrapping up something in the office. Cy and Jax are in the tub last time I looked."
Emily walks with Tom and Claire to the spare bedroom. The couple starts to disrobe.
"We will have a guest tonight, Em. Denise. She goes by DeeDee, however. Did Steve tell you?"
"No, he didn't. That's odd. You know how we are."
"Good. There are special circumstances here and I advised him to not tip our hand ahead of tonight's party."
"You know one of the reasons you hired me, don't you?"
"Because...?"
"Because I'm smart, Tom. 'DeeDee' and that you asked Steve not to say anything confirm it's Denise from HR."
"Yeah, you're awfully good at 'people math', aren't you?"
"Uh huh. Besides, she kept making eyes at Jackson during orientation. How'd she know to ask
you?
"
"She has a reputation, Em," Claire interjects. "She's also on the fringes of a lifestyle group in Springfield, and from them, knew about Tom and me with you guys."
"And, frankly, she's a smart one, too -- put two and two together when we brought both of you on at the same time."
"Can you trust her?"
"I have to. Claire and I..."
"Seriously, Tom? Don't you think that could blow-up all over the place?"
"She came to us."
"Makes no diff."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, we did have a serious sit-down at the start to discuss boundaries. She has an MS in HR, so she knows the risks
very
well. Enough of that. We came here to fuck, so let's fuck, okay? Claire? You start."
Ding Dong Ding Dong! AhOOOOOOga!
"
Steven! Gawddammit! Cut that out!
"
There are gales of laughter from the office. Tom and Claire are shaking their heads and chuckling at their nonsense.
"Rain check, guys. I gotta get that," as Emily heads back to the foyer.
Em sees a familiar petite redhead on the monitor. She sighs and then opens the door to her.
"Hi, Dee."
"Hi, Em. You're naked. It's a nice look on you."
Em sighs again, "Tom
just
told me. Come on in."
"Sounds like you're not particularly happy with seeing me here."
"It's not
you
, Dee. Please. You are welcome here. Hug." They embrace. "It's the big picture."
"Does that upset you?"
"Lots can go wrong. Now both of us have to protect Tom should someone at the office stumble into his outside life."
"I know."
"You're the expert here. Do you have guardrails?"
"Nothing special. The usual. We just have to keep our mouths shut, and suppress our reactions if something is said."
"Okay... the hard question... do you
love him?
"
"No. I do love his cock, though."
"Get in line, sister. You're on
my
turf!"
They laugh and embrace again.
"Tom and Claire have stripped off and I left them in the spare bedroom to answer the door. Let's get you back there to see them. You can leave your clothes there."
They start down the hallway to the back of the house.
"Get naked right away? Not wait until finding somebody we want to spend time with?"
"That's the way we work here. Don't know about your other group. Starting naked means less time to gettin' down'n'dirty. Most action starts in the hot tub, anyway. But you're here to fuck, aren't you?"
"Well, yeah."
"So there's no beatin' around the bush to get there."
"And you don't have one. Nice!"
The bedroom is empty. Tom and Claire gave up for the moment. Em will check-in with them later. Prepared for this evening's activities, DeeDee didn't have much on to begin with, so she's nude right away.
"The little patch of red is cute, Dee."
"Let's 'em know it's not from a bottle."
"No, Dee. The freckles are a dead giveaway. Do you?"
"I do."
"Bed right there."
"Then let's get it on. You scissor?"
Emily smiles
really
big, "Gawd yes."
Back on the patio, Tom and Claire are catching up with Cyan and Jackson.
Tom steps into the hot tub to sit next to Cyan, and she casually reaches over to stroke his cock to firmness. Claire does the same with Jax.
"Hey, Jax," Tom starts the conversation, "Welcome back. Emily said you have issues at work."
"I do, Mr. Harper..."
"Jackson. Please. I left Mr. Harper in his office. You are talking to
Tom
here, okay?"
"Hard to do that, but I'll try my best."
"Son? You're seconds away from screwing my wife, and I'm shortly to have
both
of yours! We settled all that
months
ago. Just because you're working for me now doesn't make a bit of difference when we're here naked with each other. Right?"
"Right."
"Okay, then. What's up?"
"Tom, the problems on both the MPS3250 and especially the MPC4300 are major. Why can't the EEs get it together on the touchpanel conversion?"
Tom chuckles, "They're old-school, Jax. There seems to be a minimum component count with everything they design. I've heard about your software spec eliminating something like half the relays and nearly two-thirds of the wiring. That is a tremendous cost savings, so I'm on your side. What's their beef?"
"Redundant safety interlocks. I've proposed doing the first level in software on a second processor independent of the touchpanel controller. They will
still
have failsafes in hardware."
"Okay. I won't get too involved with the nuts and bolts, but I will talk to Henderson and lean on him about getting the software and hardware design groups on the same page. You good?"
"That's all I can ask for."
"Thank you, Jax, for digging into the meat of our operation right out of the gate. It's making a difference already. Now let's fuck."
Everybody in the tub laughs.
Steve has opened the sliding door to let the dogs out, who sniff and wag in greeting their familiar guests. He lets himself out, too, shortly stepping into the tub sporting an erection in appreciation of Tom and Steve's wife trying out the new personal lubricant that's supposedly more water-resistant for pool and hot tub sex. Their test run seems to be going okay so far. Jax has Claire sitting on the edge of the tub for a little bit of friendly cunnilingus.
"Where is Emily?" Steve poses to everyone.
"She had to rush away to answer the door," Tom replies between grunts as he thrusts into Cyan. "Where'd you find this lube, Steve? Seems to be working good so far."
"That adult store on Dirksen north of Sangamon."
"They're still open? I thought they'd been shuttered."
"New ownership, I guess. Did a great job revamping the theater."
"Wouldn't know. I need to not be seen in places like that. At least not here."
"Understandable."
"So... how was it?"
"Big improvement. The cheap office chairs were replaced with sofas and a loveseat. No more surgical lighting. Technically still didn't break the city rules."
"And..."
"You know us, Tom. Cy and Em took on four guys, and Jax and I had a couple of okay ladies ourselves. Made a mess on their new furniture, though! We had fun."
Cyan giggles.
"You always do. Oh! There they are!"
Emily and Denise are squeezing through the partly-open glass door to join the party.
"Guys?" Em announces. "This is DeeDee. She's... uh..."
"From work," Steve smirks. "I noticed Tom's reaction. Tom, you dirty skunk. You're going to get in a crapload of trouble with HR if you get caught."
"She's HR," Jackson chuckles.
"Well,
shit!
" Steve laughs. "Jax, you certainly know how
that
works!"
Jackson and Emily
laugh
. Cy shakes her head with a smirk. DeeDee, Tom and Claire have "Huh?" expressions.
Emily volunteers, "Jax was screwing the HR manager at our old job. Familiar territory. I guess you get to relive old times tonight, sweetie. Right, Dee?"
Big grin from DeeDee. Em knows she's really here for Jackson, but by the end of the night Steve, Tom, and whoever else shows up will likely have a taste of her, too. That's how it goes with fresh meat. Dee is tonight's sampler platter. They don't think she minds.
Ding Dong Whoop Whoop Whoop WHOOP!
