Erika Sawyer spent nearly a week in a daze. She had done something wrong to get what she wanted and now had to live with the circumstances. That she understood.
What she didn't know was how the circumstances would change her life. During the weekend after her night with Howard Fenster, Erika tried to put the whole mess out of her mind. She initiated sex with her husband on Saturday night, but found it unsatisfying.
The next evening, she threw herself at William again. They had a cozy dinner at a local French restaurant and took in a romantic comedy at the movies. Once at home, Erika had her husband open a bottle of champagne and surprised him with a new negligee.
Furthermore, the young wife surprised her husband with oral sex. William was caught off guard and tried to ask her what she was doing. However, the unexpected ministrations of his wife quickly got to William, and he never got an answer.
Once Erika had worked her husband toward orgasm, she pulled away and asked him to do the same for her. This caught the young husband completely by surprise. He couldn't do it... it wasn't right... he didn't know why, but it just wasn't right. She ran out of the room and locked herself in the bathroom. William didn't know what to do, and eventually fell asleep without her.
For hours, Erika sat on the bathroom floor, first crying, then trying to reason the whole thing out. What had she become? Her life with William would never be the same. She thought about sex all day long, both stimulated and disgusted at the same time.
She lay back on the cold floor and began to think about Howard. Why did she respond the way she had with him? He was such a gross little man and he was incredibly mean to her. Was it just the size of his penis? God, it was huge, she recalled. She couldn't get that beautiful thing out of her mind.
As she thought about sex with Howard, Erika began to touch herself. She had never masturbated before, but she couldn't help herself. She was so damn horny. She worked her fingers into her pussy, learning about herself as she went. She was surprised at how quickly she was able to achieve an orgasm. It was good, but didn't compare to what she had recently felt with Howard.
On Monday, the young wife couldn't wait to get to work. She felt like a school girl with her first crush. She called Howard's secretary. Would he be in today? Great. Have him call me when he gets in. Thanks.
She waited, but it wasn't easy. She tried to stay occupied with busy work –- E-mail, read file and the latest competitive intelligence report. Finally, Howard called.
"What do you want, baby?"
"Can I see you?"
"I really don't have time, but you can do something for me."
"What?"
"I want you to go to the VP and tell him that you think I should be in charge of our team. Tell him that you don't think you have the experience and that you think you can learn a lot from me. Can you do that for me?"
Erika knew this was coming; in fact this is just the kind of ultimatum she had originally expected. She knew she didn't really have a choice, but she couldn't let such a request go unchallenged.
"Why should I do that?" Almost as soon as she said it, Erika could feel the anger burst from the other end of the line, but she was caught off guard by the fury in his response.
"Because I told you to, you dumb bitch. Are you so fucking stupid that you would put your job and husband at risk? Do you really want to piss me off?"
"I'm sorry Howard. Of course I'll do it."
"You better do what you're told Goddammit."
"I really am sorry. I'll do it today." She had to get back in his good graces.
"Is there anything else?" he asked.
"When can we meet, I mean get together?"
"Do what I ask and then we'll talk again."
It was not easy to profess failure to her boss, but she knew it had to be done. The VP was disappointed and asked if she'd be uncomfortable working under Howard. But thinking quickly she said it was important to the team and she did think she could learn a lot staying on the team.
Later she tried to meet with Howard, but he was too busy. After awhile she figured that he was trying to get back at her and was making her sweat a little. However, he wouldn't see her the next day or the next. His secretary was starting to ask what she wanted to see him so badly for. Erika just gave an ambiguous response about an issue with the Covington Trucking proposal.
Life at home was surreal. William apologized for making her upset and wanted to talk about the problem. He wanted to know what had gotten into her all of a sudden. She couldn't tell him, and she couldn't even try to explain it.
Once again, thinking of Howard, she had to pleasure herself in the bathroom after her husband went to sleep. This was insanity, she thought; the man she loved was taking a backseat to the man she was lusting after.
On Thursday morning, Howard unexpectedly showed up at Erika's office. Her heart leapt when he walked in. Wearing a tight knit top, she could feel her nipples harden and hoped it wouldn't show.
"Oh Howard, come in. I've been trying to see you for days." He closed the door and sat down across from the young blonde.
"I want you to entertain a customer tonight. As you know, Hal Bennett is coming into town tonight, and I'm meeting with him tomorrow. I want you to treat him right."
"Are you saying you want me to sleep with him?"
"Just as long as he's got a smile on his face when you leave him."
"I'm sorry Howard. I will do what you want me to do, but I don't understand. Hal is just a contracting guy; he isn't a decision maker at Covington."
"I think you've proven that you really ought to leave the thinking to me, cause it ain't your strong suit. Contracting guys influence decision makers and this one has a lot of influence. So just do what you're told."
"Why do you have to be so mean to me? You know I'll do it. I just wanted to know why."
"I'll tell you what, if you're a good girl, I'll give you a little reward."
"What," she said smiling. Howard got up and walked around to her side of the desk. He placed a hand on her neck and slowly moved it down across her chest.
"I'll E-mail you the address to the apartment I keep in town." His hand continued down across her chest brushing her breasts and then down across her stomach and came to rest between her legs. As he was doing this, the woman felt the air leaving her lungs.
"Meet me there after you're done, and I'll show you." Then he was gone. Erika regained her breath and tried to get back to work. However, all attempts to get anything done seemed futile. All she could think about was the night ahead.
Prior to leaving the office, she left a message at home to tell her husband she'd be late. Then she left for the airport to pick up Hal Bennett.
Howard worked late at the office then headed to the apartment. He liked to have a place in the city, just in case he couldn't make it home. It was also a great place to entertain customers and lucky young ladies. He was trying to figure out a way to get the company to pick up the tab.
He was looking forward to the evening with Erika. This was training night for the little whore. He was going to teach her a few things tonight, so she would be ready to properly serve customers. Some had exotic tastes and he wanted to make sure she was ready.
Hours later, Erika was driving back from Bennett's hotel. She had gotten him fed and into his hotel room, all the time making it clear that she would do anything to make sure he was comfortable. He was fairly good-looking and about 35 years old, she thought. This might not be that bad.
