We were the only ones in the elevator that morning, and he intimidated me. But, I hid it well. I held my head high and displayed none of the nervousness that was tying my stomach in knots.
"Good morning, how are you?" I asked.
"Fine, and you?" He glanced my way, distractedly, still fumbling through the documents he held in his hands. I could tell he wasn't really interested in my response, so I merely smiled and waited while the elevator continued on its course. "Damn!" he muttered.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, glancing at him curiously. Then, noticing his paperwork, I grinned. It seemed I would have the upper hand in this conversation.
"Nothing you could help me with." He had no patience at all. Plus, he wasn't used to being addressed in such a familiar manner by someone so low on the professional totem pole.
"Oh, really? If it's a problem with those documents in hand, I reported the calculation error to the database control guys yesterday."
He looked at me with renewed interest. And even though his comment earlier had me on the defense, I knew I couldn't afford not to be civil. He was the owner of our business, wealthy, attractive, powerful, and currently unmarried. Plus, I was breathless just being near him. He had an aura of danger that piqued my interest.
"Explain the error to me, please." I think that was the first moment he noticed that I was an attractive female.
The elevator stopped and the doors opened. He motioned for me to follow him. I took an indecisive step, "I really have to be in my office in a few minutes. My boss is a stickler for punctuality."
"No problem. I'm sure he'll understand. So come with me, please." How could I argue with that?
I had to hurry to keep up with his long strides. His frustration was still evident as he told his secretary, "Please call down and tellβ¦" he looked at me.
"Mr. Staton," I quickly filled in.
"Please tell Mr. Staton that I haveβ¦" he looked at me again.
"Karen Beasley."
"Let him know that Ms. Beasley is with me."
Then we went into his office, and I proceeded to dazzle him by pointing out the overlooked but important calculation details. He asked me to accompany him for a drink that afternoon. And that is how it all began. He admitted to me once that it was the confidence I had portrayed on the day we met that caught his attention. I've never told him that it was all an act.
And now, even though he and I have been dating for well over a year, I have never seen him totally lose control. In his profession, he has never answered to anyone. Everyone, from upper management to mailroom personnel, caters to his every whim. He is always the one in charge. That is what I wanted to change.
I quickly scanned the room making sure I had left no evidence of my being there in plain view. I knew he'd smell my cologne lingering in the air. But the heady scent of my particular brand only helped to create the mood I wanted to achieve. I was extremely nervous, but somehow I knew my performance today was detrimental to our relationship. Our sexual life had always satisfied me, yet I wanted more. I wanted unpredictable. I needed to control him. For once, I wanted to see him beg. I wanted to see him aching for me.
It was early morning, too early for anyone else to be in the office. Being the boss' girlfriend had certain perks, though. I had keys to his private quarters but had never thought to use them before now. I stepped out of sight and waited for the object of my obsession to arrive.
Within minutes, I heard him fiddling with his keys in the hallway. He unlocked the door and stepped into the room, looking sexy as ever. His body was great even hidden underneath the starched, crisp white shirt and paisley tie. He must have been in a hurry this morning because he was pulling on his coat as he entered. No need for that, I thought to myself, I've got plans for you.
He settled into his chair (or throne, as I always called it). He had begun to scan his mail and play his voice messages when I revealed myself to him.
"Karen, what are you doing here?" he asked and then he realized. His precious, innocent, predictable Karen was only wearing a lemon-chiffon bra and panty set, bought new for the occasion. His eyes widened and for the first time, I saw him at a loss for words.
Disguising my nervousness, I sauntered over to him. I watched his eyes feast appreciatively on my exposed flesh. Seeing that sign of interest gave me all the courage I needed.
"Seth, I thought our relationship lacked spontaneity. I was feeling a little spontaneous this morning. Do you mind?" I looked at him innocently, not waiting for a reply. I leaned over to take the papers from his hand, deliberately giving him full view of my breasts, which seemed a little too voluptuous for this particular bra. I saw his eyes glance downward, and my nervousness disappeared. Suddenly, I knew, he was going to enjoy what I had in store.
I began to loosen his tie. He placed his hand over mine and halfheartedly said, "Karen, we'll have visitors in a few minutes." I could have left then, but I knew from the bulge in the front of his slacks that he was just as turned on as I was.
"I know. Won't that be exciting?" I gently nipped his neck breathing in a scent that was all his own. "You smell edible, and I haven't eaten yet this morning."
I turned his swivel chair to face me, and after unbuttoning his shirt, I leaned in to stroke my tongue down his muscular chest. I had never told him how his body made me wet with desire. But now, I whispered in gasping breaths exactly how excited I was as I continued to the button on his slacks. His stomach muscles clinched and rippled as I left a wet trail of kisses.
He was really quite beautiful. His form was perfect, and the time he spent in the gym was evident in his washboard abs and muscular arms. I had always noticed his excellent physique, but here in the privacy of his office worrying about the thrill of being caught, I was that much more appreciative. He moaned softly, his voice husky in the stillness of the room. I loved the sound of it. I continued to whisper my every fantasy and his moans grew louder. Finally, Seth was fulfilling my every dream. He was losing control.
