Pauline Orr - The Ultimate Erotic Short Story Collection 18

The nerves took hold as Samantha stepped through the entrance of the office building into the lobby area. She tried to hold them down as she crossed the brightly light area and waited with a crowd of others at the ground floor elevators. Managing to squeeze in the second one that arrived she was aware of the heat of the bodies around her.

She pressed the button for floor 16 and stood silently as the elevator ascended. When the doors opened at her floor she got out and walked through a doorway to a small, neatly decorated reception area. As she looked around her new workplace the nerves played on her mind again as the first day of her job officially started.

She walked up to the desk and smiled at the pretty girl behind it. “Hi,” she started. “I’m Samantha Anderson.”

The receptionist interrupted before she got the chance to say any more. “Mr. Reed just phoned,” she said. “He won’t be in until later this morning, but he asked me to show you to your office and help you get settled in.”

“OK,” Samantha replied. She waited until the girl stepped out from behind the desk and then followed her. The open plan nature of the office meant she could look around and she could see a few people at their desks already. One or two looked up to see her passing, but most seemed already busy with their work.

“This is your office,” the receptionist said.

Samantha turned her attention back to the pretty girl as she opened a door. She walked through and looked around the room. It was neatly laid out with a desk on one side and a small coffee table, armchair and sofa on the other side.

Walking across to the desk she put her briefcase down and moved to look at the view out of the window. There wasn’t a great deal to see other than office buildings and she turned her attention back when the receptionist spoke again.

“Is there anything you need at the moment?” she asked.

Samantha smiled at her. “I spoke at length with Mr. Reed at the end of last week so know what’s expected of me. Could you just let me know when he arrives please?”

“Sure,” the girl said and moving to the door of the office closed it as she left.

Samantha sat at the desk and took the papers she needed from her briefcase to get started. It was around eleven when a knock on the door of the office preceded the entry of Mr. Reed. She smiled as she stood. “I thought I was supposed to come and see you,” she said.

The older man waved the comment off as he moved across the room and sat down at the seat on the opposite side of the desk from her. “Are you settling in OK?” he asked.

She nodded her head. “I started looking through the papers for the job you want me to supervise.”

“Good,” he replied. “Gary Samuels is taking charge of it so you should really meet him and go through the requirements.” He reached across to the phone on the desk and dialed an internal number. “Hi Gary,” he said. “I’m sitting with your new boss and we are just discussing your project. Could you come through please?”

He listened to the reply and after directing Gary where to come sat chatting with Samantha as they waited. They both turned to look when a younger man stepped in the office. Mr. Reed made the introductions to get the ball rolling and then left them alone to get on with discussing the job.

“Take a seat,” she said and watched as the young man sat on the chair that Mr. Reed just vacated. The close look made her realize just how handsome his face was. The slight designer stubble that showed he didn’t shave that morning looked more rugged than scruffy and the deep brown eyes and dark hair were traits that Samantha always found attractive in a man.

She guessed he was in his mid twenties and probably in the region of fifteen to twenty years younger than her. Age was no barrier for her when it came to men though and she sensed the onset of attraction as she looked at him.

Pushing the thoughts aside she asked him about the project and he started to go through the work done so far and the requirements still needed. When he started laying out the documents he’d brought to the office she decided to carry on the discussion at the smaller coffee table.

Gary picked up the papers and walked across to lay them out as she got up and followed. She sat on the small sofa beside him and it was cramped enough that their legs touched. He seemed not to notice, but Samantha was all too aware of the contact. Her mind was suddenly on more than work, but she pushed the thoughts aside again as the young man continued talking.

“OK,” she said when the discussions came to an end. “You seem to have things under control, but can I have a copy of all the documents so that I can go through them in a little more detail.”

“Sure, I can arrange that for you,” he said.

Samantha looked down and realized that her business skirt was hitching up her thighs to put a lot of the dark nylon of her tights on view. When she raised her head again she saw that Gary was staring, but he pulled his gaze away quickly.

“Is there anything else you need at the moment?” he asked in an attempt to cover his embarrassment at being caught staring at the legs of his new boss.

Samantha made no attempt to pull her skirt down and in truth was a little aroused at the fact that the handsome young man had been staring. “No, I guess we have covered everything I need to know so far,” she said.

Gary was quick to get up, but Samantha remained seated. He gathered up the documents and moved towards the door, but stopped at the sound of the voice.

“I need to be kept updated on progress,” Samantha said. “Could you come into my office around ten each morning?”

He turned back and smiled. “Sure,” he replied. “That’s no problem.”

Samantha’s gaze dropped to his butt when he turned to leave and she sensed her attraction growing. The taut cheeks showed through the pants he was wearing and she found herself thinking about his muscular physique. Her new job looked like it was going to be fun and she was already wondering if the young man she was going to be working closely with was single.

It was only a couple of days before she found out the answer. She got them in the routine of sitting at the small coffee table for the daily briefings and made sure that she was sitting close enough for their thighs to brush together.

They found they got on well and a little cheeky flirting started to enter their conversations. On the Friday of the first week they sat chatting after the discussions about work ended.

“So what are your plans for this weekend?” she asked.

“Not much to be honest,” he replied. “Meeting friends for a drink on Saturday night, but apart from that it will be fairly quiet.”

Samantha saw the opening she was looking for. “I thought a good looking guy like you would be out on the town with his girlfriend.”

Gary laughed. “What girlfriend would that be?’ he asked.

“No way, you can’t be single,” Samantha teased. “You’re too handsome for that.”

“You think so?” he replied. “You should tell the girls my age that.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t concentrate on girls your age,” she carried on as she continued to tease him. “You should try and find yourself a mature, experienced woman.” She noticed his glance down towards the hem of her skirt, which she was letting ride high on her thighs again. He looked a little nervous when he raised his gaze again.

“I…, I guess I should get back to my desk,” he said.

Samantha patted his thigh. “Sure,” she said. “If I don’t see you again today, enjoy your weekend.”

He looked down at the hand that was still resting on his thigh and waited for it to be pulled away before he stood. Samantha looked to see if she’d got him a little excited, but there was no sign of a bulge at the front of his pants.
