I wrapped up the sales report with my typical, "Any questions?" It was met with the usual expectant stares of my co-workers who just wanted to get the hell out of there and back to their cubicles to wait out the last half hour of the work day. "None. Fantastic. Same time next week, gang. And Simmons, come here for a minute."
Everyone filed out, except Simmons, who had become something of a whipping boy for me here in the office. As one of his supervisors I had access to spy in on what he was doing on his computer from time to time. The system had been put in place to let us make sure the employees weren't goofing off on the Internet during office hours, but in the case of Simmons I caught him quite literally with his pants down. I happened to check in on him while he was apparently up loading several pictures of himself and another man having sex onto a gay personals site. Normally there are protocols and disciplinary procedures that would go with this but I decided that it would be much more fun to have something like this that I could hold over his head and torture him with. I had had my suspicions that he was a queer ever since he started with the company anyway. He was kind of smallish and fragile looking, and was always impeccably dressed and meticulously groomed. From his manicured nails to his always perfectly styled dark hair to his high voice to just the way he moved, he always came across as gay but desperate to hide it.
He girlishly strutted towards me, knowing what was coming, trying to exude strength when we both knew that he had none in this situation. Since busting him nearly a month earlier I made it a point to have one of these chats with him whenever I could. He stood before me, his arms clutching a couple of files against his chest with a look that was equal parts anxiety and "let's just get this over with."
"You came in a few minutes late today Simmons. Any reason?" He opened his mouth to answer, but I charged straight ahead with my fun. "Let me guess, sucking cock in the bathroom again? Who was it this time? Janitor or security guard? You know Simmons I'm disappointed in you. If you were smart you'd be blowing Mr. Harrison and the rest of the higher ups. I'm sure you could work your way up the corporate ladder on your knees if you're good at what you do. After all, it's not calling 'sucking up' for nothing."
I paused to chuckle at my little joke while he stood slightly trembling before me. As usual he looked as though he was torn between crying and taking a swing at me with his little bony arms. I relished that look, knowing that he wanted so desperately to hurt me but couldn't; that the best he could hope for was to not give me the pleasure of seeing him break down.
"Well Simmons I don't want to keep you from whatever penis, oh I mean project, you're working on. Just don't go guzzling too much cum. That stuff goes straight to your hips and I know you worry about keeping that girlish figure."
He turned on his heels and left. I couldn't help but smile my sadistic smile. Part of me knew it was wrong but it was just so easy and so much fun.
I came through the door the next day to see my message light blinking on my phone. The message was from Clair, Mr. Harrison's secretary. My boss wanted to see me before I did anything that morning. Harrison and I went way back to our college days when we played basketball together. He graduated three years ahead of me and had started working in this office. When I graduated he set me up with a job and generally watched out for me like a big brother. He was a pretty big guy, blonde, athletic. And unlike me he had stayed in the same shape he was in ten years ago. I couldn't figure out for the life of me just why the hell he had called me in that morning since I had lunch meeting scheduled with him that afternoon. I still didn't have any idea minutes later as I approached his office. Clair looked up and said, "Go on in. Mr. Harrison's expecting you."
I bounded through the door and called in, "You wanted to see me, Chief?"
"Yes, I wanted to see you, but that's Mr. Harrison to you. Have a seat."
I was puzzled by his sudden bout of formality but I caught on when I looked into the office and saw Simmons sitting in one of the chairs in front of Harrison's desk. I reluctantly lowered myself into the second chair and started mentally detailing the ways I was going to get this little queer back for this.
"Now Mr. Simmons has just told about some rather disturbing behavior on your part, old pal."
I jumped to my defense. "Keith, I caught this guy looking at porn on company time and..."
