My name is Jim, and I've recently been promoted to head of my department. I work at a clothing manufacturers. We make sports casual wear, baseball caps and the likes. You may know the brand if I told you. The wage increase is great - I'm earning double what I ever have before and I'm only 29, I've got a team of people working under me and I can go home early if I want. However, it wasn't always like this...
About eight months ago, there were lay offs being made at work, and I was sure I was in line for the chop. I was working as hard as possible to make an impact on the bosses. In a company as big as this, it's easy to become just another number. I had stayed behind extra hours, fetched coffee for the big cheeses, and even once cleaned one of my senior's cars. My wife Beccy was getting less and less patient, sitting at home in the evenings waiting on me to finish. She's younger than me - 26 - and doesn't like sitting around. And I don't like being away from her. We've been together for seven years and she is as beautiful as the day we met. She's a natural blonde, of which there are few about, she's got perfect medium sized tits with nice big purple pointed nipples and a firm, round ass. I'm lucky to bag her, although I've never found it hard to pick up ladies anyway. Anyway, Beccy - all 5ft 6inches of her - was starting to nag at me for sucking up to my bosses so much. That's when it happened...
It was a Wednesday night and I had agreed to stay behind with a guy called Joe, who looks after the order form department, which I work in. He's a real former high school jock type and spent more time working out than in the office. However, he was important, so I offered to stay behind with him and help him finish his paperwork. He accepted my offer, without as much as a shred of appreciation. My overal boss, Richard, was also there. He's slightly older - mid forties, married, very dependable. So, I was busy working while Joe talked and talked, mostly about how great he was.
After about 8pm, my office door burst open and in walked Beccy. She didn't look happy.
She marched straight up to me and said, ''seeing as you won't come home yourself, I am here to pick you up.''
Joe was loving this, as was Richard, who had heard her raised tones and now stood at his office door. I tried to quietly explain to her that I had to finish up and then she said it...
''Look, fuck this place and their job - you can always work somewhere else.'' Joe let out a giggle, and Beccy stared straight at him.
''Look,'' he said, ''Jim is only trying to score points with his bosses. It's a dog eat dog world baby, and it must cost a heap of money to keep a girl like you happy.''
The arrogant bastard. I was sure Richard would not let him talk to my wife in that way. How I was wrong...
''He is right, you know. Jim is just trying to keep his job. Pete, who works alongside him, invited us all to dinner last week. His wife invited some of her friends round and we partied 'til the early hours. Heck, Joe even got himself a blow-job out of it.''
I couldn't believe this man was being so blatently rude and was letting a jock six years younger than me talk that way. Beccy grabbed my arm and announced we were leaving, but I couldn't go - that would make it only worse. I asked her to give me 20 minutes.
Richard said, ''Hey, come sit over here and I'll make you a coffee. Jim's a good guy, so let's not rock the boat, eh?''
She reluctantly agreed, moving to the far side of the office. I could see Joe checking her ass out in her tight blue jeans as we walked towards Richard, who in turn was looking directly at her tits as they pushed tight againt her cropped pink t-shirt, which hung low enough to show cleavage, and high enough to reveal her pierced naval.
This was a nightmare. Jim talked quietly about how sexy my wife was, while little conversation at all was happening elsewhere, with Beccy answering my boss with one word answers only. Things could not get any worse, I thought...
****************
''Yeah, well the thing about Jim is that he's always saying how big a Nicks fan he is but only goes to three or four games a season...''
This is twenty minutes later and Beccy was now having a sparkling conversation with Richard, who's abundant charm had obviously won her round.
So much so that, as I finished up, Beccy agreed to stay for another coffee. Unfortunately, so did Joe. I could tell Beccy hated him, although she would have had to admit he had a great body and handsome looks. Richard disappeared and returned a minute later with bottle of whiskey he kept in his drawer.
''Just a little night-time tipple to warm us up!''
Jesus, from rags to riches! I was now drinking whiskey with the big guys!
For a while longer, we drank and talked about mostly work things, with Joe accasionally making the odd sleazy comment towards Beccy, like ''You can do better than this man, you know - Brad Pitt is free I hear.'' and the cringe-worthy, ''Do you have a sister? Is she married?''. I could see that Beccy could have almost vomited.
However, the atmosphere was jovial and Richard was being smoother than silk. Then, out of the blue, he said...
''Look Beccy, I know you are worried about Jim, but his job is fairly safe here, I want you to know that. It's not the drink talking.''
This was music to my ears. This, however, was more of a shock...
''Heck, if it wasn't for the blow jobs we've been getting at Pete's house his job would be set in stone.!''
Joe and Richard laughed heardily, while Beccy smiled and I laughed nervously.
''Maybe you'd like to look into that option Beccy.''
Jesus, everything was going wrong now. We had experimented before - Beccy once got touched up and groped by two strangers in a holiday club while I watched on from a safe distance. That was different though, as we were now sitting with two of my seniors, albeit a bit tipsy!
''No thanks,'' said Beccy. ''I think he can hold this job on his own.''
The mood changed.
Joe, the fucking asshole, said, ''I don't know Beccy, You came in here earlier shouting the odds. That could be the nail in Jim's coffin.''
Beccy was amazed, looking at me for assistance, but I was dumbfounded.
Richard broke the silence, ''Look, Beccy, why don't you have a slurp more whiskey, get up some courage and do a little dance for us and we'll call it quits. It'll be our little secret and Jim's job will be secure. I promise. What do you think Jim?''
I was lost for words...
''Uhm, it's, not, realy the type of thing...''
Beccy interupted. ''One dance?''
''One dance.'' repeated Richard.
