Sweet Seduction

[ARaynes]

I just want to be seduced, so I am starting a thread! Seduce me. LOL

Ok, here is the deal, there can be as many as needed, just one has to seduce my character in some fashion. I love conflict, so you can surprise me with that any time!

Daneille "Dani" Livingstien
30
Red hair
Green eyes.

How about we put a christmas theme to it since the holiday is coming up.

IC:

Dani rushed out of the meeting wishing she didn't have to do what her boss told her. She was the VP's assistant and wondered when his promise of giving her a promotion would come true.

It was often in throws of lust that his words would come to her. She would be straddled over his body, fucking his brains out as her hair fell into his face. "Oh! Dani! You make this old man feel young!" He would cry out before he came. "I wll promote you soon, you just wait, baby! You will be the higher than any other here besides me of corse!"

Soon after he came, it would be back to business. "Get George Carwell on the phone." *smack* he would say as his hand slapped her supple ass.

She didn't mind sleeping her way to the top. At first she thought that he would love her, but then soon reality set in. She was only his "ass." That is all she would ever be.

Her walking had became very brisk as she headed out of the doors of Sanders and McNaughten. She barely had time to notice the little patch of ice before her foot hit it and she was falling. Falling fast straight to her rear.

*blackness*

To me, this was just another job before I became a famous Hollywood writer. Delivering the mail to the desks of all these assholes would pay my bills until one of my scripts hit it big and I'd be filthy fucking rich. But until that happened, I was stuck here... walking from desk to desk, delivering mail. Oh well.

There she goes again, I thought to myself. I had seen Dani around and talked to her once or twice while delivering some stuff to her, but I wasn't sure if she even knew my name. I found her to be very attractive and absolutely sexy, I had always liked older women. I don't mean older women as in I'd love to fuck somebody's grandma, I mean women who are maybe five to fifteen years older than me. They always seem more experianced and that's what I love in a woman.

I watched her as she walked right past me and probably didn't notice me. All of a sudden, she falls. It happened in just a split second, she slipped on a batch of ice... a batch of ice that was there because of me! I had called the janitor and he was on his way to clean it up, but as I was watching her walk through that door and straight for the ice, I had forgotten it was there, and now she slipped on it.

Her fall made quite a noise and everybody immediately looked towards her. Some people laughed quietly while others looked on in absolute terror. I attempted to reach out and catch her, but my reflexes failed me and I couldn't save her for falling flat on her ass. Her very sexy ass, might I add.

She laid there, I had no clue if she was concious or what. Somebody came over with a cup of water and I grabbed it from them. I put the water on my hand and gently applied it to her forehead and her face...

I spoke to her as I tried to snap her back into the real World.

"Hey Dani... are you with us?"

L.K. Sanders, CEO
Sanders and McNaughten
age: 40
blue eyes, light brown hair, professionally streaked with blonde
curvey figure, 36D breasts

IC

The executive VP sat quietly in front of the large desk and did his best to avoid looking at the lovely breasts of the CEO. He, and the other male VPs had long suspected that L.K. used her body as a weapon in business the way men used size and a deep voice. She was a formidable adversary in any situation, and it was always best to avoid her displeasure. The man in the hot seat today had clearly not managed to do that.

Look, I've had it with you and your failure to perform. I have had reports about your lack of professionalism and George Carwell tells me that you have embarassed him in front of a client on more than one occasion. You have screwed up the Jefferson contract to the point that I may have to take over the negotiations personally. Which means that I no longer need you. You have one hour to clean out your desk. My assistant will notifiy your staff.

L.K. pressed the button on her phone to notify her assistant that the stricken man was ready to leave. She then looked down at the reports on her desk, dismissing him without another thought.

A few minutes later, her assistant, a very pregnant young woman named Grace returned to the office of the CEO. She sat down in the chair before the desk and gave her report.

"Security is standing by to escort your latest victim from the building. I'm told his assistant, umm...Dani Livingston, had some sort of accident downstairs and I haven't tracked her down yet. She hasn't left for the day, so whatever happened must have been minor. I assume you'll want to speak with her?"

Thanks, Grace, efficient as always. What will I do while you're out having that baby? It'll be like loosing my right arm. I knew that husband of yours was going to be a problem when you wanted time off for your honeymoon.

LK grinned at the shared joke, although she was more than half serious about being lost without her long time assistant.

Yes, when you find Ms. Livingston send her right in to see me.

 

[ARaynes]

Dani

Dani felt as if she were floating, but she wasn't sure where that feeling was coming from. Her head hurt badly, and her ass felt as if she had sat in the antartic.

Her eyes opened slowly as she watched the world in front of her move farther away being taken over by scenery from the inside office building. "What is going on?" She questioned before looking up seeing two people bringing her into the office by her arms.

It was Ingrid, the exchange student and a guy she thought was named Mark. She never did quite grab other peoples names if they were just here to aid her slightly.

"I am sorry." She said, trying to gain berring on her feet. "I think I can stand on my own." She looked around at all the faces starring at her and blood rushed to her cheeks. Her head still ached, but the embarrasment was her first worry. "That was......done on purpose." She smiled slightly, trying to make a joke of it. "To show how bad ice can cause accidents." She let out a little giggle of aprehension.

Franklin James, Middle Management
Sanders and McNaughton
age 29
brown hair, brown eyes
tall and muscular

IC:

I had been cooling my heels waiting to see the boss. Some kind of pow-wow among the executives was going on. Rumor had it some kind of power struggle, but if I knew L.K. Sanders, "Elke" as I thought of her, if I knew L.K., there was no struggle involved. She had a problem and was resolving it.

Sanders is a remarkable business woman. Smarter than she lets on, smarter than most give her credit for, she uses all her physical and mental assets to accomplish her ends. The stock prices are up and the company is growing. She's why I came to Sanders and McNaughton.

It was a risk to give up my old position. I had been making progress through the middle management ranks, but when I heard there was an opportunity here, I made the leap.

I think I've been doing a good job. But I wasn't sure if it had been noticed. Certainly not by that idiot I ended up working for. He mistreats us all. I feel especially bad for Dani. He treats her like she's property. I asked her once, why she puts up with it. She answered me with the same question.

Now, I've been summoned, by the big boss herself. L.K. Sanders. Well, I hope it's good news.

A few moments later, the idiot appears, looking somewhat chagrined. When he saw me, he glared at me and made a "slicing" motion across his neck.

I guess I'm the problem and I'm not about to hear any good news.

 

[myeightinyou]

Dani stood up and began walking away, making a joke as she did, obviously embarassed. I was just trying to be nice to her but Ingrid had to ruin it for me... I wanted to be the star of the moment, but no. Couldn't happen.

"Hey INGRID, I was handling the situation, you really didn't need to rush over."

She brushed me off at first, but damn it, I was getting tired of being ignored at this place.

"All right, so you're a fucking idiot AND deaf. That's cool."

I turned around with a huge smile on my face, glad that I told her off. But I had a feeling she wouldn't let me walk away with that comment...

Security Arrives

James Fraser, Chief of Corporate Security
40-something, touch of gray in sandy hair
Sinewy, quietly powerful Scotsman
6'2" 220 lbs, chisled features
Retired after 20 years with Her Majesty's Secret Service
Able to kill with his bare hands.

His earbud mumbled and he moved, whispering into his lapel mike for assistance in the two events.

"Another unlucky lad going down the elevator fer the last time, John, gae make sure he does it right ... I'm off tae a slip and fall at the entrance. I'd like tae horsewhip that maintenance supervisor who can't handle a simple thing like ice."

He moved swiftly and found the lass getting a bit of comfort from one of her mates, while some middlemanagement type grumbled off.

"John, I'm at the slip 'n fall, I"ll see if we can save the Boss from another lawsuit from this latest delicate flower."

He appeared and showed his badge to the two girls, feigning a look of concern.

"May I be of some assistance, ladies? Are ye hurt, lass? Might I examine ye in the medical station here jest tae be sure? I've some medical training in Her Majesty's sarvice, and it might be mehr serious than at farst it appears."

He took her arm, then seeing she was faint, picked her up bodily in his powerful arms and carried her to the first aid station near the entrance, putting her down on the gurney and closing the door after her friend entered behind him.

LK

"Franklin James to see you, LK." Grace said from the open door.

Have a seat, Mr. James, I'll be right with you.

Grace, send this file to personnel with a note to issue a serverence check in the amount indicated.

"I'll take care of it LK. Anything else?"

Have you turned up Ms. Livingston? I'd like to get through all the staff today if possible. I don't want this brewing over the weekend.

"I was just about to call Fraser in security. He'll know where she can be found. That man seems to know everything thats going on around here."

Thats what I pay him for, Grace. Why don't you take care of these last items and then go home early. You look tired. We have to keep your strength up.

LK had deliberately left the young manager in the dark while she spoke with Grace. Whenever possible she liked to keep people off balance and the current situation gave her just such an opportunity. She smiled at the young man before her and spoke.

Mr. James, as I'm sure you have by now deduced, I have begun to restructure your department; starting with the executive vice president who is, even now, preparing to leave the building for the last time. His departure is the result of his failure to perform up to my expectations.

Unfortunately, this leaves a vacancy in that department. As a member of his staff, you are in a unique position to capitalize on his misfortune. Providing you can convince me of your capabilities.

LK folded her perfectly manicured hands on her desk and watched as Franklin processed the information he had just received. This was clearly not what he expected to hear, and now LK would find out just how composed and quick thinking he could be. While he condsidered his response, she watched him carefully, waiting for signs of nervousness or self-doubt. She was pleased to see that none were apparent.

All in all she was very pleased with the looks of Franklin James. She smiled as she imagined what he'd look like without the well tailored suit that he had on in a moment. Perhaps she'd have a chance to find out. Her smile became a bit preditory. God, it was good to be the boss.

Checking for ID ... and so forth

James Fraser, Chief of Security

As he laid the fallen woman on the gurney, her eyes already rolling back in her head, he motioned to the one on her feet to call for an ambulance, just in case.

In the fall, her tight white blouse, already unbuttoned tantalizingly low, had popped another button. Her sheer lace push-up demi-bra merely boosted her breasts rather than covering them.

Loosening the snug green velvet choker around her neck, he chuckled at the fake mistletoe woven into it ... and thought of kissing "under the mistletoe" the soft mounds now softly rising and falling with each breath.

He whipped a penlight from his jacket and lifted her eyelids and flashed the light in them, pleased that they reacted normally, though the girl had passed out completely. "Probably hit her head as well as her arse," he muttered to himself, checking her pulse at her throat. Her perfume rose to him as he put his ear to her chest to listen to her heart, his nose and chin nestling in her soft cleavage.

"Help me roll her a bit, while keeping her neck straight, will ye lass? He motioned to the other girl as he spoke. "Ye said sommat aboot nursing? Time tae update yer ticket."

They rolled her gently, and he found a nasty abrasion on the back of her head. Gently feeling down her back, he found her spine straight and intact. He reached her tailbone and noticed that the fall on the rough pavement had torn her tiny silk skirt to shreds. Only a tiny flesh colored thong now covered her delicious but rather red bottom, which included a number of raw cuts.

"These need tae be cleaned and dressed." He motioned to the first aid kit on the wall. "Get that doon and open it up, aye?" He remembered her now. Ingrid. Exchange student or something. "Ingrid, correct? Find the merthiolate in there, some rubber gloves and some cotton swabs. There's a gaed lass."

He slipped his wee knife from his belt and began cutting away the remains of the skirt, tossing it aside. Then he cut the thong and settled her face down on the gurney, admiring her well-toned arse and long, curvey legs.

"Hmmm, the ex-VP's favorite shag is in the wind, and will need a bit of support, won't she? Well, we've strong shoulders, haven't we Jamie? Aye, strong shoulders indeed."

He admired her tight buttocks and patted her thigh, waiting for the other girl to come back with the supplies so he could clean up her scalp laceration and this lovely but presently messy arse.

Franklin James

On the other hand, if I were being canned, why wouldn’t he be telling me himself? Maybe this……

L.K.’s assistant interrupts my thoughts and calls me into L.K.'s office. I can’t help but smile as I notice that Grace says “Elke” much as I would, instead of the individual initials. I accept the proffered seat and take in my surroundings. The office is everything I expect and more. As impressive as any I’ve seen, yet stamped with L.K.'s touch. Superbly crafted, depending on where one sat and where L.K. chose to sit, you could be very comfortable or very uncomfortable. I seemed to have been put in the comfortable positioning.

I listen as L.K. efficiently interfaces with Grace and begin to understand what was going on. I take note of her genuine concern for Grace’s obvious advanced condition, just another plus in my book.

“Mr. James,” she begins. I give her my undivided attention. L.K. lays it all out to me.

"Ms. Sanders," I respond, "I’m most pleased to be given this opportunity after so short a time with Sanders and McNaughton. As you have seen from my file, I have the experience and the background to be successful. In fact I came here in hopes of finding a position under you.”

“You’ll find that under my mentorship, productivity will rise with no additional personnel costs. This is because of my policy to delegate decisions down to the appropriate levels. There is no need to have every decision come through my office. Yet you will never hear me pass the buck if a wrong decision is made. I will be accountable, as I will have chosen those decision makers. Nor will you hear me take credit for the work of my staff. I know you’re savvy enough to see through that type of behavior and to recognize my contribution to the success of the staff. I’ll solve my problems, advise you well in advance of a crisis if I need to escalate, which will rarely happen, and I’ll give you plenty of things to ‘brag about’ to the stockholders.”

I go on, explaining my management philosophy on empowerment, accountability, let’s just say, I can talk the talk.

“L.K.,” I say, careful this time to enunciate each initial, “we both know I just talked the talk, let me show you I can walk the walk. You won’t be sorry.”

All in all, I am very pleased with the way the interview went. L.K. interrupted a few times with a variety of relevant and irrelevant questions, a technique I use myself to control the interview as well as to gauge the composure of the interviewee and to see if they can stay on topic, make their points, and their own ability to take back control.

Yes, it was a very good interview.

 

[Lady_Kit]

Franklin James was a brash young thing. Kind of reminded LK of herself, not so many years ago.

Yes, Mr. James, you do indeed talk the talk, but just because you've memorized the manual doesn't mean you can drive the car. You should also be aware, that Grace calls me "LK" because she has been with me for nearly ten years, and not because I encourage familiarity with those beneath me.

Lk watched as Franklin struggled to come up with some acceptable recovery for his comment then, after a moment, took pity on him and rose to stand at the corner of her desk. Giving him time to take a good look at her long legs topped by the short fitted skirt. After a moment, she smiled and extended her hand.

I'll forgive your faux pas this time, but only because I like to start my new Executive Vice Presidents out on a good foot.

His eyes snapped to her face and he quickly jumped to his feet; firmly shook her hand and held it only a moment longer than necessary.

"Thank you for the opportunity Ms. Sanders. I'm sure I'll meet your expectations."

He really is cute she thought. Perhaps she would have to include him in her special mentoring program. Yes, he would make a fine candidate.

I'm sure you will Mr. James, I'm sure you will.

I think that will be all for today. I'll expect to see you at the Executive briefing on Monday, 8am in the board room. You'll have a chance to meet the senior staff and get up to speed on this quarters activities. We'll speak after that and discuss your specific responsibilites. I believe you can see yourself out.

The interview over, LK returned to her desk and picked up the next folder from the pile on the corner of the blotter.

"I'll see you Monday, Ms. Sanders."

LK smiled and noticed that he closed the door quietly as he left. He really did have potential, for precisly what, she hadn't yet decided, but there was something there that merited her personal attention.

The next folder belonged to Daneille "Dani" Livingstien. Ah yes, this was the assistant she had heard about. LK read through the womans resume, her qualifications were excellent, she was well educated and had moved steadily up through the ranks with each new position. Based on her experience, the woman might make a good substitute for Grace. But there was the matter of her relationship with the recently departed VP. If the rumors were true, she was she sleeping with her boss, and that would have to be explained before any decision could be made. LK hoped it wasn't love, the man really had been a toad.

Perhaps Dani was not as qualified as her records indicated, test scores had been adjusted before. If the woman ever showed up, LK would decide for herself.

 

[JamieFraser]

The girl comes around

James Fraser, Chief of Security

He dabbed the antiseptic on the nasty scrapes, noting none were deep, just ugly. "Pity tae mar such a lovely arse," he thought to himself. "But with the new curative salve they've developed in the labs, she'll be back in the saddle in no time."

He covered her backside with a gauze cloth as the temp scurried off for some spare clothing from the injured girl's office, and snapped an ammonia ampule under her nose, gratified that her eyelids flickered as she came around.

"Lay still, lass, ye had a nasty bump on yer head and went blank on us fer a few. Had tae do some first aid on yer pretty backside as well, but it'll be gaed as new in nae time at all."

He gently stroked a few strands of hair out of her face and helped her to roll onto her side. covering her hips with a clean towel. "Yer friend has gone fer some clothes. Yer wee silk skirt and knickers are completely gone, I fear."

"Let me know when ye feel like sitt'n up ... I suspect ye'll prefer tae stand fer a bit."

~ Jamie ~

 

[ozme52]

Franklin James

L.K. certainly has a way about her. Smacks me down a bit, establishing the rules of our relationship, even as she gives me the job.

I can hardly believe she’s jumped me over some of the other managers at Sanders and McNaughton. I’ll have to lay some ground rules with my former peers.

And it’s going to be a long weekend. No way I can come into the Executive briefing unprepared. I don’t even know if it’s a meeting where Sanders briefs her executives or if we report status to her.

There will undoubtedly be a turf war as the other executives come looking to carve up that idiot Peterson’s, now my, territory. I’ll have to establish the high ground and establish my bonafides with them right away. Stop that predation before it starts. Unless L.K. puts the kabosh on it herself. I'll bet not though, she'll want to see how I handle myself with the rest of her direct reports.

They probably escorted Peterson right out of the building too. No need to expect help from that quarter. What an idiot. Only one choice, I’ll need access to his office and all the help I can get.

I head to Petersons’s office to gather some files and see if Dani is around. When I get there, I see Peterson is just finishing up packing his personal items, under the scrutiny of a couple of Fraser’s security guards. I suddenly realize that Fraser and his team are part of my new responsibility. I make some notes in my Palm Pilot. Talk to the department heads. Facilities, Security, Shipping, the Data Center, and Operations. I’ll need to replace myself too. Find someone to do my old job.

Well, no reason to stand here and watch Peterson in his misery. I leave a note on Dani’s desk, asking if she can stay late tonight and assist me. I’m actually surprised she’s not at her desk. Then again, I can’t blame her. Peterson was a real bastard to her. Dani was so over qualified for this job. I should do something about that, making another note in my Palm.

Hmmm, Facilities usually arranges for coporate and staff functions but Peterson usually kept those high visibility plums for himself. I wonder if he started plans for the Christmas Party! A minor issue, but important to staff morale. I’ll have to find out from Dani if Peterson even got that started yet.

 

[ARaynes]

Dani

"Let me know when ye feel like sitt'n up ... I suspect ye'll prefer tae stand fer a bit."


His words came to her as she remembered once again what had happened.

"I uh.....I am fine." She said, trying to gain her feet once again. "I ..." she spoke before realizing that her shirt just barely covered her. Her hands went to her lower half, something she wasn't partial to showing a security guard. "I will be fine as soon as I get my clothes.

Danielle Livingston, you are needed in Ms. Sander's office. Danielle Livingston you are needed in Ms. Sander's office."

The pa system was hooked to the phones. She heard it and jumped with a start. "Shit, what does she want?" She thought. It was apparent by the pa system page that she was supposed to be there already.

"I have to go." She said, grabbing a spare security shirt off the hook next to the door. "I am needed." WIth that she through on the shirt, which was bigger than she needed, almost falling to her lower thigh and headed up to the office.

Seeing Grace she automatically sighed, "SOrry I had an accident." She smiled shyly hopeing she didn't really sound foolish and hoping someone would bring her her spare clothes soon.

 

[Lady_Kit]

LK

"LK, I've located Ms. Livingstien, but she seems to have had a small accident. It might be better if your interview with her waits until Monday. Shall I tell her to come back then?"

LK looked at Grace and frowned. She paid no attention to the suggestion in her assistants voice, her only thought was to get this business with the girl over with so she could start the new week with this business behind her.

She's finally here then? Good, send her in, and then you go home. I meant for you to leave early instead of chasing a missing secretary all over the building. Now scoot, and don't let me see you in here before noon on Monday. Have someone else see to the meeting support.

Grace looked at her boss and smiled. It was too bad that most people never saw this side of LK. Most of her employees thought that LK was a heartless bitch, but Grace knew that the woman had a heart. The bitch part, well, no one was perfect.

"I'll send her in, but just don't be too hard on her, and, well, she's not exactly dressed for a meeting with you so, be nice."

There was particular emphasis on the last two words, and LK raised on finely arched brow in surprise. Well this should be interesting. She heard Grace speaking to someone in the outter office, and a moment later a rather bedraggled young woman entered her office. LK noticed the bright red hair, sparkling green eyes, lovely legs and understood why the womans boss had bedded her. What she didn't understand was why Dani looked like she was just coming home from a security department sleep over.

Well, Ms. Livingstien, how kind of you to join me. I hope I haven't taken you away from anything important? If you have a moment, I thought we'd chat about your future with this company.

 

[ARaynes]

Dani

She could hear the sarcastic tone coming from the woman everyone feared. It wasn't enough that she had to wear this horrible shirt to meet the CEO, but the woman was giving her attitude too.

"I apoligize. I know what this must look like to you, but I am not that type." Dani started, not flitching from the woman's words. "I fell on a patch of ice that was neglected by the custodian, injuring my head. The ....security officer decided to take initiative and make sure that my ass was a fine speciman of womanhood. Therefor he stripped me. I was told to hurry to your office, so I did, not wanting to disappoint you."

She walked past the door and to the overstuffed chair in front of the desk. "May I?" She asked, not waiting for a reply before sitting in the chair and crossing her legs. She knew that she must have given Ms. Sanders a crotch shot, but looking intimidated would make the woman sic on her without warning.

"So, may I ask what brought me to your eyes?"

 

[Lady_Kit]

LK

The flash of leg, and regions higher was unexpected and LK wondered if Dani was being deliberately provocative, or just careless. There was a time when only the men tried to sway her with their sex appeal, now everyone seemed to be making the attempt. She frowned, hoping that it was unintentional and due only to the circumstances Dani described. After reading the womans’ file LK was reluctant to believe that was simply a gold digger who was bent on sleeping her way to the top. She covered her displeasure by picking up the manila folder on her desk.

I had heard that you had an accident, I’m sorry you were injured. If, as you say, the security officer acted improperly please file a report with the personnel office and Chief Fraser will be dealt with appropriately.

Dani seemed surprised at the response she received from LK and the emotion was reflected in her tone when she spoke.

“Thank you for your concern, Ms. Sanders. I’ll be fine and the Chief does have a reputation for treating everyone like they’re members of the Queens Guard. It’s actually something of a joke, since he is your security chief. Please attribute my earlier comment to the stress of the afternoon and give it no further thought.”

Fair enough. Lets start over, shall we?

LK smiled at the woman for the first time. She was pleased that Dani was willing to put aside the afternoons events and move forward. She hoped that the woman would also be willing to be honest with her so that they could move forward.

I called you here today to let you know that your boss, Mr. Peterson has been terminated. I found that he had become a cancer in the body of the company and he has been removed. I have spent the afternoon meeting with his key people so that I can determine if more surgery is necessary. You are the last of his staff, and probably the person who knew the most about his activities and business practices. I wanted to discuss your goals and observations so that a decision can be made about your future. However, certain rumors have come to my attention, and before we continue, I would appreciate clarification. Please understand, whatever you may tell me will go no further, but I must have the truth. Were you sleeping with Mr. Peterson?

 

[ARaynes]

Dani

Dani thought about the question. Yes, she had been sleeping with him, but it was only to advance her career. IF she told that to Ms. Sanders, then Sanders would discredit her actual hard work. But if she denied it the woman might know the truth and she would be caught in a lie.

"There is no real way to say this. Either I tell you that I have and you discredit all my work, even though it was all due to my aggressive tatics to make it big. OR I tell you that I haven't and you may find out that I have and then I get canned anyway. So, I am screwed either way."

She studdied the woman for any type of resoponse. Getting none she continued.

"I can tell you that I have worked hard to get to where I am now. I am a honest worker, and I have climbed my way to the top knowig that I can look behind me and be proud. Until Mr. Peterson I had not had a hurdle such as he. But, as you well know, Mr. Peterson has a, well, lets just say stubborness, that is hard to jump. So, I have slept with him, but I did not sleep my way to the top. You can look at my portfolio and resume and see that I am a woman with agreesive tatics and I get my job done twice as fast as any so called MAN in this office."

Again looking for a reaction she saw none in the stoic woman's face.

"So, you can either fire me, and loose a valuable asset to this company, or you can keep me on and let me know you what I can do."

 

[Lady_Kit]

LK

She leaned back in her chair, resting elbows on the arms and steepling her fingers together as she studied the woman seated before the desk. Finally, LK smiled.

You know, if you had lied to me Chief Fraser would be escorting you out the door. But, you didn’t, and that’s a point in your favor. I’ve also read your resume and the comments from previous supervisors. My problem now is what to do with you.

LK had some ideas of what she’d like to do with the woman, but now was not the time to get into that. Those legs drew her eye in spite of her resolve not to look and she wondered what other treasures were hidden beneath the uniform shirt. Damn, but the woman was distracting. LK took a breath and forced her mind back to the matter at hand.

I think the best thing is for you to make a clean break with that department. I’ve already promoted Mr. James into Petersons job, and it would not do for young Franklin to think that he could enjoy the same personal assistance from you that Peterson had.

She could see that Dani was still a bit surprised that she hadn’t been sacked immediately. Well, here came another shock.

As you’ve seen, my personal assistant, Grace is with child. In fact, she is due to go on maternity leave any time now, but a suitable replacement hasn’t been found. She seems to think I’m too picky. The truth is that I’ve never met anyone who could fill her shoes. If you think you can handle the job, and me, we’ll try it out; at worst, we’ll have to put up with each other for a few months. The promotion will come with a raise, of course, and some additional perks, but you can discuss all that with Grace on Monday.

So, what do you think? Would you like to come work for me? It’s your choice.

 

[ozme52]

Franklin James

I was searching the department document server looking for status reports and any other information I could get without Peterson's passwords, when I realized I still hadn't heard from Dani.

I called down to security and asked if they could determine if Dani was still in the building or had badged out. They told me she'd had a small accident and was okay, but had been called up to the CEO's office.

I called up to Grace, but it apparently rang through. L.K. picked up the phone herself.

"L.K.? Sorry to bother you so late. It's Franklin James. I just heard that Danielle Livingstein might be in your office. Could you tell her I need to talk to her before she leaves for the night. I need to get into some of Peterson's files."

L.K. asked me what I thought of Ms Livingstein so I told her that Dani, Danielle I said, was an under utilized employee and that Sanders and McNaughton would be well served training and promoting Dani into a new role.

It wasn't until later that I realized I was being tested yet again.

I could hear L.K. talking to Dani but couldn't make out the words. I waited on the line.

Dani

*Sorry for the delay! Damn RL*

"I am being offered a job as a secretary." Dani thought to herself. It wasn't just any secretary position, but one under the CEO herself. She could either take it and hope that Mrs. Sanders would realize her full potential or go and find another job and have to spend years working her way up the coorporate ladder.

"I will take it Mrs. Sanders. I know you request only the best, and I will be the best. Just tell me when I should start as your personal" She emphasized that word a little too much she thought afterwards, "secretary and I shall be here."

LK

She'd take the job. LK was pleased. The woman would be an asset to the executive staff and with any luck Dani would make a welcome distraction for LK. She looked again at the hint of breast between the gap in the uniform shirt and remembered the quick flash of the shadowed area that the tail of the shirt still hid.

LK took a deep breath and brought her mind back to business, but before she could speak, the phone on the edge of her desk rang. Recalling that Grace was gone for the day, LK picked up the receiver herself.

L.K. Sanders

The surprised voice of Franklin James came though the line. He quickly explained his need for help with Petersons files. LK looked at the woman across the desk and dismissed her for the day.

Dani, I'll see you Monday morning. Be here in time to help set up for the Execuitve Briefing. You can call Grace, her number is in the employee directory on her desk, and she'll tell you want you need to know.

Why don't you go now and help young Mr. James, then go home for the day. I think you've had enough for one afternoon.

LK watched as Dani walked from the room. The woman had a great body, the legs alone were incredible, and LK could hardly wait to see what was hidden beneath that ugly shirt.

"LK? Are you still there?"

What? Oh, yes of course, Mr. James. I was just sending Dani down to your office. You'll need to speak with her in any case, she may have recommendations about her replacement. I've promoted her to my offices so you'd better get what you want today, after this she's all mine.

I'm sure she can help you find the missing files. She seems very competent. You've worked with her for some time haven't you? I'd be interested to know your opinion of her work even though she is leaving your department.

Dani

Everyone was wanting her today. All she wanted to do was get into some real clothes and go home. Now was her chance. The only one stopping her was Franklin.

I took the elevater down. It was funny to watch all the envious stares from women comeing my direction, or the lustful ones coming from the men. Both knowing that they will never have what I have.

I had come to his office. The door was partially open, so I peeked my head in. I could hear him talking to someone one the phone, so I walked in and stood quietly waiting for him to realize I was there.

Frank James

After I finish with L.K., I get a call from the chief of Operations. Somehow those guys always get the rumors first. Charlie wants to know if it was true I was taking over from Peterson. I tell him it's true and that I will be calling him and the other department heads in for briefings next week.

I put down the phone and see Dani's arrived.

"Dani! Come in please. My god, what happened to you?" She looks a bit dishevelled, gorgeous in that security shit, but somewhat uncomfortable. She explains how she came to be dressed in just an oversized shirt. I ask if she wants me to do anything about it.

"I can now, if you want." Dani declines and I tell her to not hesitate if there's any further indescretion on Fraser's part.

"And by the way, I'm ecstatic about your promotion. It's about time. That cur Peterson was holding you back."

I lay out all the things I need to see and the help that I want. Dani's body language tells me she is tired and really wants to go home.

"Help me out here Dani and you can tell me how I can make it up to you. I'll drive you home afterwards and take you to dinner if you don't have any other engagement. I'll be lost next week if I have to ferret it all out myself."

"Come on Dani, remember all those lunches we ate together, saying how we'd always help each other if we ever got promoted. Well, we've both been promoted on the same day and I need your help."

Dani smiles and agrees to help. I would take her home but she wasn't sure about dinner. It depended on how late we went.

Well, as I expect, the work goes really quickly. Dani brings me all of the open files, current status reports, even the state of the upcoming holiday party. As she brings each one, I am able to quickly review the contents, get the gist of the division and make a few notes. By the end of the evening I have everything I need.

I offer Dani my overcoat so she won't be cold. As she put it on, the shirt lifts exposing more of her thigh, making me aware again of her dishabille.

Later, getting into my car and again on the way to her apartment, I keep catching glimpses of Dani's fetching thighs. I can be shy and miss an opportunity or I can ask this lovely intelligent woman out.

"You know Dani. Your getting promoted is great for two reasons. First, you certainly deserve it. But more important, since you won't be working for me, I'd like to ask you out. How about letting me take you to dinner tonight?"
