The metal gate was down that sealed the entrance to the store from the mall. The lights were out except for the tiny security lights in the showroom. And I was sitting in the office /stockroom finishing up the weekly financial report that I had to drop in a mailbox on the way home. The locked bank deposit bag was sitting there ready to go as well. It was about 10 o'clock and I had finished up a bit earlier than usual.
Being promoted to assistant manager of the shoe store meant a rise in my salary, but it also meant having to open the store in the mornings and close it up at night as well as doing the weekly report. In effect, more work. Oh well, I guess that's how you got ahead in this company.
Someone was knocking on the back door which led into the corridor which ran behind the stores of the mall. I walked back to it and said loudly, "Who's there?" You had to be loud because it was a close fitting steel door. I wasn't expecting anyone so I wanted to make sure of who it was before opening the door. Probably mall security, but you never know.
"It's Linda," came back the muffled reply.
Linda? Why would the boss' wife be at the store an hour after closing? "Hold on," I called out. I unlocked the heavy door and swung it open. Linda was standing there with a manila envelope in her hand. "Butch finished the employee reports at home and forgot to bring them in today. They have to go out with the financial report his evening, so he asked me to drop them by."
Butch was about 20 years older than I was and a nice guy, but very conservative and boring as hell. The only thing he ever talked about was the Atlanta Falcons and how the store was doing as compared with previous years. "Why didn't he bring them himself?"
Linda had stepped inside, and I closed the door behind her and locked it. 3He's out with his bowling team again. He won't be home until midnight or so."
Oh yeah, Butch also talked about his bowling team. Like I said, boring.
"I read the reports—I read yours, I hope you don't mind."
Well, I did kind of mind. Every six months, Butch had to assess the employees and write short report on them, which went to head quarters. I guessed if people at headquarters read them then they weren't
too
private—I mean Linda was the boss' wife. But then again I saw her once or twice a week. I decided it wasn't a particularly big deal. I was pretty sure my report was good. Butch had told me that he had written good reports for me on the previous two.
"No, I don't mind. What did it say?"
"Well, it was positive—Butch praised your attention to detail, your creative ideas, and – and this I found interesting—your handling of customer relations when someone came back to complain or return a d pair of shoes. Hold on—here it is--" and she pulled out a sheet of paper from the envelope. "David shows a remarkable ability to satisfy the customer, particularly the more difficult middle-aged women who sometimes come in with an aggressive attitude. David usually causes them to leave with a smile on their face. He has very good interpersonal skills, is attentive to the needs of the customer and seems to always propose a solution that satisfies the customer while keeping to company policy."
"Yeah, that's me—keep the customer satisfied," I joked.
"What is it you do to keep the customer satisfied—particularly these middle-aged women? If you read this with a slightly different tone it could sound very sexual. 'David usually causes them to leave with a smile on their face'" she read in a sultry voice. "Ooooooh, yeah."
"It's nothing like that," I said, a bit embarrassed. We were back at the desk and I sat down I the chair. Linda, disconcertingly, sat down on the edge of the desk right in front of me, her knees just inches from me. I just try to make them happy with the shoes they've already got or to propose a new pair that they'll like."
"And what do you tell them to make them happy with the shoes they've got?"
"It depends—I try to tell them how good they make them look or how much younger they seem when they wear them—without being too obvious, of course."
"And what do you say to a woman who brings back a pair of 'fuck-me' pumps and says 'I didn't get fucked'?"
"
Linda!
"
"Sorry David," I'm just feeling bitter tonight—I guess I'm a middle-aged woman with an aggressive attitude. Butch is out for the third time this week with his bowling team, practicing for a tournament this weekend in Atlanta. He'll be gone from Friday night to Sunday night, and I'm not going to go along and be bored—he's staying in a cheap motel, sharing the room with one of his teammates. He's not even taking me along to a fancy hotel so I could do some shopping in Peachtree Plaza. I'm sick of it! About once a month it's 'slam bam and onto even thank you m'am'. I'm not
that
fat and ugly , am I?"
"You're not ugly at all, Linda, and you're what I call 'plump'. And let me tell you a little secret. 'Plump' kind of turns me on."
Now I said all this for a reason. I spent my 18
th
summer with my aunt, Eleanor, who took three weeks to teach me what I would call "Advanced Foreplay and Guaranteed Success with Women". She had taught me, in effect what to do to satisfy a woman other than pumping in and out of their pussies. She taught me how to get a woman so hot and excited that when I did slide my cock into her she would come almost immediately – for the first time. That was just the end of the process—there was a lot more to it than that ,and I had had a number of occasions to test what she taught me and I always found her instructions to be right on the mark. So, I told Linda that she wasn't ugly, which was true, and that she wasn't fat, but 'plump', which was only sort of true—who decides what's fat and what's plump anyway? And the I told her that I was turned on by plumpness—which was true only in the sense that I was turned on by almost any woman. Women aren't stupid—they know if you're lying to them. And it always works better if you tell them the truth and if necessary, just a smidgen of a lie.
Linda knew she wasn't ugly. She could also talk herself into believing that she was plump, not fat, and she had only my word to go n as to my being turned on by plump, but I made her believe it by putting my hands on her nylon-covered knees and looking her in the eyes. One of my aunt's lessons—never underestimate the importance of direct and prolonged eye contact when you're seducing a woman. Not that Linda needed seducing—she already had sex on her mind, I just had to gently lead her to the point where she would spread her legs and invite me in.
The look on her face told me what I needed to know. Her eyes were wide and moist and looking at me with longing and her mouth was slightly open and her lips were moist. I stood up, took her face gently in my hands, leaned forward, and gently kissed her—just for a moment. I looked at her again right in the eyes. Then I leaned forward again and kissed her , still gently, but longer. This tile she responded, moving her lips against mine and pressing slightly against them. Again, I broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. She now had an element of lust in her gaze. This time she pulled my face to her, and initiated the kiss which was much harder and longer. When we stopped she was breathing heavily. "I this how you satisfy those women?"
