"You guys offer six months paid maternity leave at full salary?" Christy asked in disbelief. "That can't be right."
"It absolutely is," Lauren, the Dukes and Fischer in-house counsel and head of HR told her. "Not only that, but to even be considered for partner, each associate must complete a six month family sabbatical. Most women just use their first maternity leave to meet that requirement. Most men just leave for other firms. That's how committed we are to making this a supportive environment for working women. That's why almost all of our partners are women."
Christy still couldn't believe it. Sure Dukes and Fischer was a regional law firm and not a big named national firm. But their starting salary was very competitive compared to the big boys and no law firm came close to six months paid leave. Maybe eight weeks. And even then none of the men ever took paternity leave so that gave them a big advantage on making partner.
But not at Dukes and Fischer. They were committed to women's success. To her success. Christy tried to hide it so she could haggle over starting salary later, but her decision was made. She was a Dukes and Fischer woman.
Christy had always wanted to start a family, and now that her career was on track she could finally concentrate on landing a husband.
It's not that Christy couldn't turn heads. She was a scholarship softball player in college and still had an athletic build and killer butt. If anything it was her size that made dating difficult. At five foot ten she towered over a lot of guys and she really wanted to marry someone at least six two. She also had a law degree and was making six figures. There was no way she was going to date a guy that made less than her.
Christy's college dating career had ultimately been a little frustrating. She had no trouble getting hot baseball players to fuck her. The problem was getting them to commit to dating. Girls already outnumbered guys at college, and then the number of guys that were actually attractive was even smaller. These assholes knew they were a hot commodity and could get away with fucking multiple girls at a time.
The same seemed to be true on dating apps. There are only so many six foot two guys to go around. Throw in a six figure salary and he can get almost any girl wants. Why commit? Christy had no chance.
After about a year getting jerked around online by Chads, Christy realized that if she wanted a man to commit to her, she was going to have to settle. And it wasn't too long after that, that Christy swiped right on Chuck, who at five ten at least matched her in height and had a steady job, even though it paid far less than hers.
Chuck taught English to rich brats at an elite private high school. He liked teaching at the public school more, but the private school pay was higher and the classroom was a safer environment even if his students were sheltered and stuck up.
Skinny and slightly awkward socially, Chuck had never been a ladies man, in fact he was still a virgin when Christy took a chance on his dating profile. Christy thought he was cute though, and was impressed by his knowledge of Jane Austen novels, a favorite guilty pleasure of hers.
After a few dates, Chuck invited Christy back to his place and Christy finally thought she was going to get lucky. It had been months since she had been with a man and she was horny. But despite seeming to be head over heels in love with her, Chuck didn't try anything beyond kissing and it was Christy who had to make the first move by going down on him.
She tried to hide her disappointment when she took off his pants. He was just average, maybe a little smaller than average. But worse than that, when Christy did take him in her mouth he came, hard, in less than 30 seconds. Christy was a pro though, and gulped down every drop he had to offer. Chuck was super apologetic about cumming so quickly, almost ruining the mood, but he was very eager to return the favor and Christy wasn't about to say no to having her pussy eaten.
What Chuck lacked in the manhood department he more than made up for with his tongue. He did not hesitate at all, like some guys did, he just dove in and started licking her folds as if he were worshiping her womanhood.
"Oh god yes, just like that," Christy moaned as Chuck finally moved his attention to her clit. "Ughn, ughn, ughn, hugh, ohhh," Christy screamed as she found herself wrapping her hands around Chuck's head, pulling his tongue into her pussy as hard as she could. "Oh god I'm cumming," Christy shouted as she mashed his mouth into her slit.
Chuck later confessed that night that he was a virgin, and while shocked, it was not a deal breaker for Christy. She would just have to be patient and teach him a few things in the bedroom.
Meanwhile Christy was doing great at Dukes and Fischer. Everyone was super nice and supportive, especially the senior partner mentor Christy was eventually assigned, after showing interest and competence in her practice area. Jennifer was a mother, as all the partners at the firm were, except the firm's one sole surviving founder Jake Fischer. Jake didn't pay too much attention to Christy for her first few years at the firm, which was fine with Christy since at 6 foot 2 and 220 pounds he could be quite intimidating. Instead she kept her nose to the grindstone, worked hard, and tried to do everything Jennifer told her to.
As her professional life advanced, Christy got her personal life in order too. It took forever for Chuck to escalate their physical relationship from oral sex to real sex, but as soon as he did, he wanted to move in with her immediately, which was fine with her. It took almost a year after they moved in to get Chuck to propose however, but after taking him ring shopping and dropping numerous hints about how she wanted him to propose, Chuck finally took the hint and popped the question on the beach during a vacation to Miami. Christy even managed to make sure there was a photographer there to capture the moment.
Fast forward two more years and Christy was happily pumping her breast milk in one of Dukes and Fischers many luxury pumping rooms. She had been back at work for a full year now and was pushing for partner. She kept pumping because she liked to still breastfeed the baby occasionally, it was such an intimate moment, and the milk kept her tits two cup sizes larger than normal. She felt like a pornstar. In a sign of good faith the firm even assigned her a young associate to mentor just as she had been mentored by Jennifer.
Mary, her mentee, was extremely bright, outgoing, and confident, if not a little reckless in her work. She was good at her job, but was also impulsive. After a few months working with her, however, Christy began to notice she was often not at her desk when Christy needed her.
Swinging by Mary's desk one morning, Christy asked her neighbor Julie where Mary was and Julie said she thought she was in Jake's office working on a special project. Christy was a little annoyed that Jake was stealing her mentee without asking and decided to visit his office to express her displeasure.
Jake's huge corner office was at the end of a long hall and there was a little waiting room outside where his secretary normally sat but for whatever reason she was not in that day. Christy was about to knock on the door when she heard the unmistakable sound of sex.
