(A continuation of my experiences with a former boss, as requested by Bill, Jeremy and Jackie).
It was one of those whirlwind days, the kind of day where the phone doesn't stop ringing, my boss won't stop nitpicking and my co-workers disappear and leave me to be wonder woman.
Just a normal day.
Jack O'Connor was a barrel-chested Irishman who had a hearty appetite and room-filling laugh. Sometimes he combined the two --- a disgusting sight. Still, he was a pretty good boss. He was strict when it came to work hours, answering the telephone by the third ring and taking no more than 60 minutes for lunch.
Still on this day Mr. O'Connor got up on the wrong side of the bed and was nagging more than normal about this or that. I think his boss was ragging him and he merely was passing on some of that dissatisfaction about this or that to lowly me. Oh well, the life of an administrative assistant isn't supposed to be easy!
In any event, it was a pleasant surprise when the telephone rang and it wasn't Mr. O'Connor, his boss, or an irate customer on the line. Rather, it was K. Linford Little, my former boss and current lover. As bosses go, these two were complete opposites. Mr. OโConnor was a bit of a nudge, while Mr. Little was laid back, flirtatious and handsome.
I mentioned in prior stories, Mr. Little and I had a hot and heavy affair while I worked for him. I was young and impressionable, he was older, more mature, and handsome. Like many of my previous boyfriends, he had an insatiable appetite for sex, but he just didn't do it, he savored the act.
At the time I fantasized about him leaving his wife for me, that we'd get married and live happy after. The curse of an office romance with a married guy sunk in after a while, and my eyes were opened. Slowly, but opened. It took a while but I finally realized the man was using me for his personal sex toy and nothing more.
Promises of marriage and suburbia and rug rats and such with him turned out to be feint hope and not reality. After coming to that realization I cried a lot, cursed, thought of wrecking his home with the revelation of our affair to his unsuspecting wife but ultimately thought better of it. Instead, I not only discontinued by relationship with the man but also left my job too.
I went on with my life, I was strong and attempted to put the past in the past. Many of my friends had no idea of what I was going through, because, after all, how do you tell those who would only point fingers and cut me off for my attempt at home-wrecking the truth. I made up some story about this or that, and soon they just figured I needed to get laid. What followed was an endless procession of guys. "You will love him," "He's perfect for you," or "It's not a date, just dinner with friends." Right.
Months went by and I did eventually find a nice guy who loved me, adored me actually, and ultimately we moved in together. It was a good coupling, we had many similar interests and loved being with each other.
Still, I realized early on something was missing. Maybe the fire, maybe the excitement, who knows? In any event, maybe it wasn't the hope of marriage that had sparked my affair with Mr. Little, but maybe just the naughtiness of it all? I really found myself missing the man who had done nothing but take advantage of my love for him.
So I, on my own free will, rekindled the relationship with Mr. Little while having the full understanding of what it was all about --- sex. Yes, I admit it, I missed the thunder and lightening and danger. I missed the clandestine meetings, the quick and dirty rendezvous. The dark corners of shopping mall lots, the front seat of a car in a parking garage, the trips to make out lanes where we were probably the oldest couple parking.
I missed being bad.
And although I kept my secure relationship with my nice, normal, Financial Analyst boyfriend, I rekindled my clandestine relationship with Mr. Little. Somehow, I managed to keep the double life away from prying eyes.
โConstance?" came the sound of my former boss as I answered the telephone, snapping me away from my daydream and back to reality.
"Oh hi Mr. Little, how are you today?โ After all this time, after all of what we had done together, I still addressed him by his last name just as I had when he was my boss.
"A lot better now! I was hoping to catch you before you slipped out of there to go to lunch."
"You did, I'm still slaving away," I said with a laugh. "You were a much nicer boss than Mr. OโConnor! I was able to goof off and take advantage of you! Now, what are you up to today?"
"Not much, but I'm in the area and wondered if you wanted to get together for a little bit, Iโll buy lunch."
I knew my former boss, and lunch was the least of his desires. He wanted to get together for a little hide the salami and he knew precisely where he wanted to do his magician act...in and out of my hot, willing mouth. Yes, the man was seriously and constantly desirous of my oral talents.
"Lunch, or something else?" I jokingly asked.
"Okay, you caught me, honey," said my former boss. "I want you."
It had been a couple weeks since we had managed to get together, so the act of meeting at lunchtime was definitely appealing to me. Smiling, I leaned back in my chair and seductively whispered: "I'm hungry for something, not lunch though."
At first I thought he was groaning, but think it was merely some sound of excitement sliding out of his vocal chords.
"I'll met you at the mall at the usual place at 12:15."
I glanced at my watch. "I can work that out. See you then."
Taking care of phone coverage and the like, I slipped into the ladies room to make myself pleasingly adorable for Mr. Little. Pantyhose off, black sheer thigh high stockings on, I added some like makeup and brushed my teeth. My knee-length black skirt accentuated my shapely legs, and the plain white blouse gave an almost schoolgirl-like look to my 28-year-old body.
