They had been working in the same office for some time now. He had always lusted after her lithe young form in stolen moments. He, the studious young employee, trying to get ahead, trying to always do the right thing. Trying to get her attention, trying to get her affections. But she would have nothing to do with him. She was more concerned about her life, her lovers, and, quite frankly, herself.
She was cold to his advances, to say the least. But even crueler than that, she always seemed to be performing for him. When he finally could take no more, and would approach her, the advances would be stopped cold. So from the desk just next to hers, he would lust in his heart. He had grown to hate her as much as he desired her. While trying to get work done, he would steal glances at her legs as she adjusted her stockings. She was especially cruel with this. It almost seemed like she knew he was watching. She would turn to one side, crossing her legs, dangling one of the high heels she always wore off one foot. And then as his passion rose, her hands would slide down the silken gams, pulling here, pushing there. He could swear that she would be watching him out of the corner of her eye as he lusted after her. The anger rose with his desire, his unrequited desire.
The only positive thing to come from her teasing was his energy. He had to do something to work out those frustrations. The boss, their lady boss, always appreciated his efforts. She on the other hand, was not so well liked. Her beauty threatened the boss, not to mention pissed that all she ever did was screw off on company time. The long lunches and consistent personal phone calls had pushed her to the edge. She had finally had enough. Her superior assigned her a project that she knew she had no chance of completing in the time allotted. Should she be unable to complete it, she would have to find employment elsewhere.
From his desk he watched as she pitched a fit. She didn't want to lose this job. The work was not easy, but they were paid well. As she sat at her desk cursing the luck, her gaze moved to him.
He would help her. The one who always gave her the puppy dog eyes. The one, who always watched when she bent over, adjusted her stockings. The one who she was sure she could wrap around her little finger in a heartbeat.
But unfortunately his desire had boiled into something far beyond lust. Oh, he would help her, but on his terms. He watched those legs he longed to have wrapped around him walk over in front of his desk. She bent down, partly to let him smell her intoxicating perfume, partly for him to steal a glance down her blouse. As she gazed at him with those deep brown eyes, she spoke to him in a voice he'd never heard her use towards him before. It was the low voice reserved for the lovers she talked to on the phone. A voice that shook him to the bone, but his cool held, and he looked right back into her eyes and listened. She was sure he might be able to help her out.
His reaction surprised her, she was sure that all it would take was a bat of those deep brown eyes, and he would be hers. As he listened, she was put off by the fact that he showed no emotion, no concern. His eyes seemed to be looking right through her.
"I can help you", he said, "but what's in it for me?"
The anger seethed out through her eyes, her lower lip pouted. She couldn't believe that he didn't succumb to her feminine wiles. She turned in a huff, stamping those pumps he loved so back to her desk.
He watched her stew for a while, returning phone calls as he did. The office had cleared out by now; she had a long night in front of her. Even if she worked all night, because of her lifestyle and work habits, she didn't have the figures she needed to complete the project. You have no choice, she told herself. If he wants you to sleep with him for the help, you'll just have to do it.
He watched as she rose slowly and walked back to him. She stood in front of him now, beaten. She again asked for his help, and again he asked, "What's in it for me?"
"What do you want?", she asked.
"It's not what I want, it's what you're willing to do". She didn't understand, so he explained. What would she do for him to help her? Her pretty face creased into a frown, she still didn't understand. "Would you do anything?"
"Anything?" she asked, "Yes," came her reply.
He wanted to hear her say it.
Again he asked "What will you do for me?"
She finally surrendered and said, "I'll do anything".
As she stood there uncertain of her fate, he picked up the phone and called their boss at home. She liked him, appreciated his hard work, and respected his opinion. He made some bullshit excuse as to why his co-worker needed an extension, and because she thought so highly of him, the Boss agreed.
She stood there dumbfounded, how could he with a simple phone call pull her from the lions? That confusion was short lived though, because she still realized that she couldn't complete the project in the time allowed without his help. She started to thank him, even taking a step towards him. He stopped her cold, asking her to sit down while they laid out what "anything" entailed.
He explained that for the next week, the time they would need to complete the project, she would abide by his wishes. He would provide her with what she needed to complete the project, but should she decide to back out of the agreement, the whole deal was off, and she would be out on her ass. Hate and loathing seethed in her eyes as he told her what he expected in return for the help.
First of all, he said, you will wear no skirt or dress in this next week that is not well above the knee. Pantyhose are not to be worn, stockings and garters only. No underwear, and only heels 4 inches or better. She was to be available to him at any time during business hours. And business hours this next week would be late into the evening; she had a lot of work to do. If at any time she refused a request, any request, the deal was off. She would be on her own, out on her ass. She was amazed when he said goodnight, she was expecting some kind of advance from him. As he rose to leave, he smiled and told her to remember, she said she would do anything.
The next morning came too soon for her. She arrived at work attired according to their agreement. Although no one could tell, she felt naked with no underwear on. And for some reason, it turned her on. She couldn't figure out why, it certainly wasn't desire for him. She was only going along to keep the job she had been sloughing off at for the last year. As the silk stockings encasing her legs brushed the inside of her skirt, she felt strangely aroused.
The morning was uneventful; he hardly even seemed to notice her. She was grateful on one hand, and wishing he would get on with it on the other. The sooner this started, she thought, the sooner the whole humiliating thing would be over. She, for the first time in months, spent the morning working, but all the while it kept nagging at her from the back of her mind.
She went off to the copy room, and unbeknownst to her, he followed. She was inside for only a moment when she heard the door close. She turned and looked over her shoulder to find him staring.
Something he needed, she asked? He told her to open her blouse. Fire danced in her eyes, she was livid that he would make such a request in the office.
Before she had an opportunity to reply he reminded her, "Remember, ANYTHING".
Her eyes seethed with rage as her hands rose to unbutton her blouse. As he watched her crimson painted nails undoing each button slowly, she stared right back at him. When all the buttons were finally undone, she placed her hands on her hips and waited. Undo the bra, he asked next.
