To say that Ray and I, Sandy, were caught between a rock and hard place would be over simplifying our condition. He just graduated from college with a marketing degree and me from business school. We had been out about a month and there just weren't any jobs to be found. We had put in applications everywhere, including all the fast food places, without any luck. We didn't have money to buy a tank full of gas which wasn't a big problem because our car had two flats and was in danger of being towed away from lack of use.
I'm twenty and Ray is twenty two. We have been married for a year. Our parents wanted us to wait until we were out of school and had jobs but needless to say we didn't listen. Neither my parents nor his are in a position to help us. We had a small saving and that with student loans help us get through school. We expected to have work by now but that hadn't panned out.
We had passed the word around that we were open for any job that came along. One of Ray's friends, that had graduated last year, called him and told him about a new company that was from some Caribbean island that was opening a distribution center in the States to market their coffee and sugar, among other smaller items. Ray called at once and found out that they were hiring for two positions; someone to help sale and a receptionist. He explained that was what we both were looking for and set up an interview for the next day.
We dressed in the best clothes we owned which still weren't much. I knew I looked good in the dress I wore but it was a little short and cut a little low up top. It was light blue that showed off my blond hair and blue eyes. The length help make my legs look good, but the top let it be known that my breasts were kind of small, about a b cup, even if they are nice and round. On top of that I am only 5feet 2 inches and 105 pounds.
Ray always looks sharp. Before we married girls were calling him all the time. He was over 6 feet and 190 pounds with light brown hair and dark eyes. He looked like he would be a dream come true in the bedroom. Even though I was a virgin when we married I had been expecting the same thing. I never knew that he was also a virgin and between the two of us that called for a total disaster in the bedroom. After a year of being married I have yet to have an orgasm. I don't even know what to expect. We both know there is something wrong, but to embarrassed to discuss it. I know he loves me and I love him but just being in love isn't making out sex life any better. Worrying about a job wasn't helping either.
We were a few minutes early getting to the interview. A friend of mine had stopped by on her way to work and gave us a ride. Getting home would have to take care of its self.
The building was just on the edge of town. It was a metal building with offices up front and warehouse space in the back. It wasn't very fancy but it was new. The lobby up front had a black girl at the desk. I was afraid he had already hired a receptionist. When she turned to welcome us I had the biggest shock of my life and nothing like the one Ray was having. He was speechless!
As she turned she stood up and she had to be close to 6 feet tall and what a body! Her light brown coloring was really brought out by the short tight skirt she had on. The top was silk that caressed her large breasts as it gently lay across them. The skirt only came midway down her thighs, leaving the most beautiful long legs I had ever seen exposed. The skirt fit her completely as it was tight on her ass. Ray couldn't speak so I was the one that got my voice back first. "We have an interview this morning with Mr. Worthington."
"Sure, you must be the Gordon's; Mr. Worthington will be a few minutes." She handed out two applications and told us to fill them out. I had to punch Ray twice to get his attention back where it should be.
I whispered to him. "Get you eyes back in your head and let's get this job." I was pissed that he was so taken with her but could understand why; she was beautiful!
I had to forgive Ray when we met Mr. Worthington! I was just like Ray seeing her the first time. He was tall, over 6 feet 6 inches and slender. He had muscles, not the body building kind, but long slender ones that I could imagine between my legs. His fingers were as sexy as the rest of him. When he shook my hand I felt the touch between my legs. All that went out the window when he spoke. His soft island accent and the smooth way words rolled of his tongue would make any women drop her panties! He was the most perfect man I had ever laid eyes on! Thankfully it was Ray that finally found his voice.
I can't remember much that went on during the interview. I guess I answered his question to suit him. I do remember how his eyes would drop to my legs. The dress was shorter than what I normally wore and there was no way I could keep my knees covered and he took advantage of that. It didn't turn me off that a black man was paying a lot more attention to my legs than to the answers I gave.
We found out that the receptionist was actually his wife, Iris. What a beautiful pair the two of them made. He explained that whom ever they hired the marketing person would be traveling a lot; doing trade shows and sales. They would share that job with Iris and the receptionists would be working with him. After a couple of hours he knew all there was to know about us. Including that we were broke and desperately in need of work. He finally asked us to step out of the room for a minute while he and Iris talked. We were excited that at long last we might finally have work.
Iris called us back in the room and he motioned for us to take our seats. His eyes followed my legs again as I sat down. I though to myself that I would show him all he wanted to see if only I got a job.
"Ray, Sandy, I've talked to Iris and we are prepared to offer you the openings. But before I do I want to make something straight. I really don't like to hire family members but you are both qualified so I am prepared to over look that part. The other matter is working conditions. Ray, you will be on the road a lot, some of that time Iris will be with you. Sandy, you will be here with me and a lot of nights we will have to work late. What I am saying is all of us will be spending a lot of time with the others spouse, I don't want there to be any jealousy. We are adults here and I expect all of us to act like that."
He gave us our starting salaries and what we would be expected to do get raises. If the project went according to plans when he and Iris went back to the islands Ray would be in charge of the business. We couldn't believe how much we would be starting at. I was ready to except at once, but he held up his hand. "You have all weekend to think about it. If you except be here at eight Monday morning." There weren't any handshakes except him and Ray. Iris hugged me and then turned to Ray. I don't know how long their hug lasted but I know I had him wrapping my tiny body up in his big long arms for much to short a time.
Ray and I talked about nothing else all weekend. We talked about what the job could do for us financially. How we could pay off our loans and finally be on easy street. Then if we didn't like it we would have time to find other jobs. We talked around everything except what we needed to talk about; sex. I don't know why that should be so different, we hadn't been able to talk about it since we have been married.
Finally it was Sunday night and I was going through my closet. I had finally figure out that he wasn't going to be the one to broach the subject. He was lying on the bed watching me. I turned towards him. "Do we take the jobs or keep looking?"
"The pay is really good."
"Forget the dam pay!" He jumped; he had never heard me cuss. Stupid question, how could we with less than ten dollars in our pocket forget the pay? "You know that is not what I am talking about." He dropped his head. "Look at me Ray! We are talking about SEX, you with Iris me with Josh! It couldn't have been any plainer when he was talking about being jealous!"
"I don't know, what do you think?"
"Am I going to be the one that has to make the decision so you can blame me if it doesn't work?"
"I wouldn't blame you."
"Then I guess there are three questions that need to be answered."
"What are they?"
"Dam, you are going to make me do this aren't you? Ok first, could you have sex with Iris?" That was another stupid question as I knew from the glint in his eye. Second, could I have sex with Josh?" I tried to hide the twinkle in my own eyes. "And most of all can both of us live knowing what the other one is doing?" I stopped and looked at him. "Your time to answer."
