from my lip, slowly tracing my wet tongue over it. “Did I get it
all, Mr. Conrad?” I loved being naughty.
    He cleared his throat and straightened his
necktie. “Let’s look at the wine list.” He stroked his chin, not
lifting his eyes from mine. We decided to sample an array of French
wines. Him being the expert on fine cuisines - I stepped up to the
plate showed my prowess when I ordered in French. His eyes perked
up.
    “ Your French is pretty
fluid. Where did you learn it?”
    “ My grandmother was born in
Lyon. I’m not fluent, but I do okay.”
    “ Just okay? It was
absolutely impressive. Most people just point to the entrée they
want to order.”
    “ Well, thank you for the
compliment.” I looked down to side and cracked a tiny
smile.
    “ You’re welcome. I’m almost
starting to not regret that you’re my executive assistant.” There’s
the look again; almost like he’s seeing through me. It sent a chill
up my spine. “That’s a joke,” he said. He cracked a sly
smirk.
    “ Wow, so you’re a comedian,
too?” I could feel a bead of sweat trickle down my back.
    After a few glasses of wine, I tried my best
to not slur my speech. He made a nod to the server and had her
bring out two glasses of Absinthe. I had heard of it before but
never tasted it. It tasted delicious, but it made me feel weird. A
good weird, but weird nonetheless.
    We discussed the team and his plans for
remedying the losing culture in the organization. He asked about my
time cheerleading for the Hawks and I told him how over time I
became a mentor and a mother figure to the younger girls keeping
them out of harm’s way. Being a cheerleader for the Hawks made it
easy to get lost in the bright lights of the big city. I had
learned the hard way early on and I didn’t want to see a girl -
starry eyed, fresh off the bus from a farm in Idaho - get smashed
head on by the fast life of the game.
    “ Interesting. I see why you
took this job. It was wearing on you wasn’t it?”
    “ Yes, but it was time to
strike out in a new direction anyway.”
    “ That’s pretty admirable,
to go beyond your job description and help the other girls. But
there has to come a time in a woman’s life where she has to let go
of the reigns and let someone else take control.” His voice
deepened when the word control rolled off his tongue. Are we still
talking about work?
    “ I hung up my pom-poms
because it was time to stop playing mother hen to the younger girls
on the cheerleading team and step into the real world.” I had to
quickly steer the conversation back to work; thinking of his tongue
again made my pussy steam. I crossed my drenched legs several times
in my seat in between sips of my drink.
    “ But I need people like you
in this organization.”
    “ Thank you, Mr.
Conrad.”
    “ Please, call me Harper.
It’s okay, we’re not in the office now. Just don’t get in the habit
of it and slip up when we’re at the team facility.” We both shared
a laugh. “You’ve been with this organization for nine years. I know
being an executive assistant isn’t your end game is it? What are
your goals? What is it you’re aspiring to?”
    I cleared my throat.
    “ I never really thought
about it. I just want to do the best job I can do. Where it will
lead me I’m not sure.”
    “ Well, Danica if you stick
with me, you’ll shoot straight to the top in no time.” His voice
rocked my core. I’d love for him to stick me instead. “I know you’ve
heard a lot about me Danica. Some true. Mostly false.”
    “ Well…” My gut tensed up
again.
    “ Don’t worry, the job’s all
yours. You belong to me now. I’m not firing you. I know you had to be
thinking it. And besides, I’m a big boy. I can handle the
truth.”
    How could he put me on the
spot like this? What employee – a new employee at that – wants to
tell their boss about what rumors and other nasty tidbits they’ve
heard? Definitely not moi. I had no choice. He sat
