"Mr. Painter?"
I looked up to see Heather, my new summer intern, standing in front of my desk. They get younger and cuter every damn year.
"Hi, Heather! How was your first day? Have you gotten all your accesses set up? Laptop working okay?"
"Oh, yes sir, everything's all ready to go! That's why I wanted to come see you and find out what my first assignment is going to be."
I glanced at the time on the corner of my screen -- 5:45. Why the hell was she still here?
"Heather, you didn't need to stay so late! Everyone else is probably gone. I'm happy to show you what I'm looking for tomorrow morning."
She looked at me with an almost hurt expression, like there was something she wanted but she didn't know how to ask for it.
Heather was a rising senior in the Information and Library Science program at the local state university. The program was long past being just about books. It was about data, of all shapes and sizes, and it turned out data scientists and database gurus and the like, as well as damn good librarians.
She had great grades and was looking for an IT career, so I had jumped at the chance to bring her in. I had a backlog of things that needed to be done, and I was hoping she could not just update our databases but also create some better processes to keep things current.
I sighed a little. "Okay, I've got some time. Why don't you come around here and I'll show you what I'd like you to work on first."
She walked around my desk and leaned over my shoulder to look at my screen -- and I was suddenly very aware of her perfume, and her sweater-covered breast brushing my arm. Her blonde hair fell against my neck, and I almost jumped.
"I'll send you the link but here's the configuration management database that's supposed to have an entry for every laptop, every server, every IT-related asset in the company. It's waaaaay out of date and most of the entries are incomplete. I'm going to need you to work with the team to get it updated. That will give you some insight into the team, the devices, the database system, the whole thing. We can get into the details in the morning."
She ran a fingernail up my forearm, tracing the tattoo I'd gotten a few years earlier in a last-ditch effort to try to feel relevant. "I've got nowhere to be, Mr. Painter. If you've got some time..."
I scootched my chair away from the temptress. "Heather, as a matter of fact, I'm going home to my wife. Work is over for the day. Go home. 'kay?"
I swear to Dog she pouted. "Okay, Mr. Painter. I'll be here bright and early in the morning."

Brittany thought the whole thing was as funny as hell. "Awww, did the widdle bwonde intern put a scare into my big, gruff, tough husband? You should have taken her dare and fucked her silly."
I gave her a look. "One -- I'm not going to risk my job by chasing tail in the office. B -- you know I'm not going to fuck around on you. Not without your knowledge, anyway. And Trois -- you'd kill us both and I don't to be responsible for a double homicide."
She looked at me, suddenly serious. "You know, you might be wrong about that last one. I've been thinking lately about all the bouncy fun times we used to have with friends before the kids got old enough to notice... things. With Alyssa mostly staying at her dad's and Geoff off at college, have you thought about maybe playing around again?"
I looked at Britt. She had always been the most beautiful woman in the world to me, and while we might have reached our late 40s, she still had it. Tall, athletic, with wavy black hair that was now streaked with white that she did nothing to hide. Sexy as hell. But she had a point.
"Sweetheart, you know you're enough for me. Too much sometimes. Always have been. But we did have some fun, didn't we? We could put on quite the show. So yeah, I guess I do think about it fairly often, as a fun thing we used to do. But I hadn't thought about branching out again."
"Do think about it, Mike. Seriously. We have great sex together and I love that we're still hot for each other. But it's not too late for us to raise a little more hell."
I smiled and pulled her up off the sofa and dragged her to the bedroom and did my best to fuck her into a coma. And I was mostly successful. But she had planted a seed in my mind that was sprouting and putting down roots. And the conversation that we had about my intern the next morning brought that seedling into full bloom.

I stopped pushing Heather away after Britt and I talked. I didn't exactly encourage her, but I played along -- sometimes pretending that I was flustered, other times acting like I didn't register her advances. Until Friday.
She was taking advantage of the more relaxed dress code and was wearing painted-on jeans and a loose peasant blouse that clearly showed both her lack of a bra and her obvious state of arousal, along with barbell piercings through each erect nipple. Heather's high-heeled sandals showed off toenails painted a very bright red. It was a good thing Janice from HR was on vacation.
"Heather, do you have plans for tonight?"
"Not really, sir. Did you have something you needed me to do?"
"First of all, why don't you call me "Mike"? And secondly, you've made a lot of progress this week. If you'd like to come by my house after work, maybe we could talk about some additional assignments."
Her eyes got wide, like she'd gotten something she wanted but suddenly wasn't sure she could handle it. "Uh, okay, Mr Pai... Mike!"
"Hand me your phone." She unlocked it and handed it over to me. I plugged my address into her map app. "You can follow me home but in case we get separated, you'll be able to find it. Wheels up in 15?"
"Sure, uh, Mike. This is going to be okay with your wife?"
"You don't need to worry about her."
Fifteen minutes later we were getting off the elevator and heading for the surface lot. I pointed out my Yukon on the second row. She walked past to an older model Honda Fit, that I would have bet money she'd had since high school. I backed out and waited for her to pull in behind me.
I called Brittany while we were on the road, letting her know when we'd be there. "I'll be ready, Mikey. I've been looking forward to this all week!"
