"Hello, Boss," said the voice coming from the doorway, interrupting my thoughts as I sat at my desk in my large, corporate office.
I looked up and saw a hispanic woman, perhaps in her mid to late 40's, professionally dressed but with just a hint of sexiness. She walked forward and held out her hand to shake mine.
"I'm Michelle," she said with an unwavering, but pleasant voice was that deeper than I might have expected to come from her. "HR sent me to serve as your secretary for a while?"
I stood and immediately felt her warmth as I took her hand and smelled her perfume. Not overpowering, but feminine and sexy and I was surprised to find it caused a stirring in my groin.
"While Amanda's on maternity leave, I'm yours," she said, still holding my hand. "I heard I'd be working with a handsome young executive, and what I heard was true."
Likely I wasn't more than a few years younger than Michelle, but she carried a maturity likely born from being widowed at a young age and raising several children on her own. She looked me in the eye as she finally released her grip from my hand. I found myself distracted by her beautiful Emerald eyes highlighted against her cocoa skin and long dark eyelashes, edged with just a hint of color just above them that she had added in her morning preparation. She had a cute button nose with a rounded tip that my eyes followed down to her full, blossoming lips.
The color of her lips was dark red and lined with black liner. The reddish-brown lipstick perfectly accentuated the rest of her makeup.
She stepped back and grabbed the chair in front of my desk and placed it next to the side.
"I want to be fully available to you when you give me instructions so I prefer to sit here." She did not say this as a request or for my input, but matter-of-factly that this was how it would be. I would find this is how Michelle operated.
As she moved around the chair I was finally able to look away from her beautiful eyes and get my first look at the rest of her. She wore a brown, tight, button-up knit sweater that had the first two buttons open, revealing a sexy thin neck that dove down to her cleavage which was covered by a thin, black lace camisole. Her sweater jutted out rapidly to reveal the presence of significant, round breasts underneath.
I was struck by the way her clothes hugged her curves. Not overly tight, but clearly displaying her feminine curves. She was slightly plump, but in a very pleasing way. Her waist cinched tight, allowing her hips to flare out and then her skirt growing ever-tighter down to just below mid-thigh.
As she sat and crossed her legs, I could see the floral print on the side of her designer hose which my eyes followed all the way down to her petite ankles tucked comfortably in her strapped high-heeled ankle boots.
She was a vision of almost everything that aroused me. The opposite of my es-wife.
"Would you like to sit, sir?" she asked with a cleared throat. This brought me back to the discussion and I hoped she hadn't noticed me checking her out.
"Um, yes... Michelle," I stammered, "very nice to meet you."
I was an executive in a big company that had moved up quickly through the ranks. There was a lot of responsibility on me and many who wanted to see this young phenom fail. When the company was to replace Amanda, I told them I needed someone like her who could pull her weight.
"Michelle, do you understand the work we do here?"
"Yes, sir," she responded quickly, "We can get to work right away. I brought my pad for you to tell me what you need from me."
She looked me deeply in the eyes as she shared this statement. I hinted a bit of an unusual expression as she shared her desire to 'take care of my needs.'
We began to work through a list of tasks together.
"I'm sorry but we will have to work many late nights together for the next month or so as we get through this huge project."
"That will be fine, sir," she answered, "my sister can help with my kids."
This reminded me that she was a widow and expressed my condolences.
"Thank you, sir," she answered, again looking me straight in the eyes. "Work will be a good distraction and take my mind off not having a man to take care of me for now."
Again that look. I wondered if she was flirting or if it had just been so long since I'd had sex that everything was seeming to be inuendo to me?
"I'm very willing to be flexible for you," she finished.
Again, I stopped for a moment at the statement and looked for some hint of her meaning but saw nothing but her pleasant, but firm gaze.
"So, what have you heard about me and the job?" I asked.
"I heard you were married to your job and, thus divorced." this time she laughed and winked.
