Working Under Her

[darrenfate]

For Chanaud !

JAKE

Day one. After working his tail off in both undegrad work at Dartmouth College and his subsequent MBA from Case Western, Jake found himself walking into the lobby of IBM promptly at 8:00 AM, supremely confident in his abilities. An undergrad GPA of 3.7 and an MBA GPA of 3.8 attracted IBM’s attention. IBM was Jake’s first and only choice, it was his lifelong dream to work for the world’s number one high tech company. Nothing else would ever be enough. Tall, lanky and rakishly handsome, Jake moved with an athlete’s easy grace. Here he was at the ripe old age of 27; joining the “best of the best” ready to take his place amongst the sales stars within these hallowed walls.

And how lucky he had been to get assigned to Jamie! The recruiter had told Jake that he would be reporting to Jamie Spinoza. A recipient of IBM’s highest honor - the coveted Eagle award in 2000 - she was in the top fraction of 1% in sales above quota. Add to that top marks in customer satisfaction, and Jamie was a bona fide star among stars. Jake, you are one lucky son of a bitch, he thought to himself happily. The things this woman could teach him Jake mused. Little did Jake realize at the time how prophetic that last thought would truly turn out to be!

He walked over to security, the burly guard directing him to wait while HR was summoned to lead him into the building’s inner recesses. Passing through the now omnipresent metal detectors, Jake thought the world has certainly changed since 9/11. Completing the HR benefit forms and getting digitally photographed for his security badge took all morning.

Finally the time was at hand. Jake was asked to wait in an all glass walled conference room for Jamie to come and fetch him. Nervously, Jake paced back and forth, rehearsing what he’d say to his new boss. Time passed, Jake becoming more edgy with each passing minute. After a full two hours, the door finally swung open and Jamie strode in...

Jamie Spinoza

It's Monday 8am, I walk in my oversized glass paned office with a large cup of Starbucks in one hand and laptop in my other. As I settle in my chair, there was a pile of newspapers waiting for me. My executive secretary, Shiela knows the routine. She had already skimmed through the paper and tabbed the news worthy articles for me. I immediately logged on to my laptop and checked for replies to my early A.M. emails. Only 8 emails. It was obvious times were tough and corporations aren't investing in online services.

I noticed one of the emails was from my boss, Terry with a red flag next to it. What does he want now? I opened the letter and my eyes scanned through the body, while sipping my coffee.

Jamie, Congratulations on landing the Bank of Japan Account. I knew you could do it girl!

Since you're working on 6 projects right now, I took it upon myself to hire an assitant for you. Now Jamie, don't be mad. This kid has credentials, I checked him out myself. At least give him 3 months.

Terry

Damn him! Why does he always do this to me? Doesn't he know I'm too busy to train some latchkey straight out of college? Everybody, he has assigned to me haven't lasted 3 months. It's the same story. Too many hours, no personal life. Well, that's life in the big league at IBM. Either you commit your life to them or you're out.

I finished the rest of my correspondence in annoyance. I couldn't help it, Terry put me in a foul mood.

Jamie, Human Resources just called. Your new assitant is waiting in conference room number 7 announced Sheila.

Great! I stormed out of my office, down the hall and slowed when I got to the awaiting Jake. My hand on the doorknob, I decided to peek through the windows first. Inside, I noticed a brunette sitting with his legs apart and knees twitching nervously. Not bad, I thought. At least he doesn't look like the typical pimply faced teenager.

Seeing his nervousness, I decided to play on it. I turned around and headed for the nearest ladies room. Studying myself in the mirror, I thought I didn't look too bad. My auburn hair and dark brown eyes offers color to my pale skin. While my short black suit shows off my slender long shape. Glancing at my watch again, 'hhmmm...I think I made him wait long enough.

Bursting through the door, I quickly offered my hand, and introduced myself in one breath Hi,you must be Jake, I'm Jamie. We have lots of work, follow me."

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

Jamie was stunning, in her beauty, while at the same time imperious in her nature. The shining hair, the quick bright eyes that shone with intelligence all overwhelmed Jake. Before he could utter a single word, Jamie had spun around, and was walking off as quickly as she came.

It’s impossible to be mad at her, Jake thought! Keeps me waiting for hours, and then in the blink of an eye she dissipates his anger without trying. No apologies, no explanations were given. Jake sensed right then and there that colleagues, friends, even family were secondary. Customers rule.

Jake walked behind Jaime, not with her. Her choice, not his. In this position try as he might not to, Jake stole furtive glances at her shapely ass. Jaime walked purposefully striding with single minded intent at arriving as quickly as possible back to her office.. Jake was unable, no unwilling not to watch her beautiful ass sway deliciously to and fro with every step. She has so much going for her Jake thought. Jaime went into an office with a big window on the south side of the building. It was one of the few offices that had a door – further testament to Jaime’s status here.

Pointing to an empty chair beside her desk, Jake sat. Jaime shuffled papers on her desk, and finally heaving a huge sigh looked up at Jake. In an exasperated tone, she spoke...

 

[chanaud]

Jaime

With a sigh, I started. I'm going to be truthful with you...errr...
Darn, what is his name again? J something.

John. I don't have time for an assistant. I just landed a ten million dollar contract with Bank of Japan and the last thing I need right now is having to worry about babysitting someone. Now Terry, my boss took a shine to you and insisted on teaming you with me. Why I don't know. Your credentials weren't that impressive......

Pausing to take a sip of my coffee, I was able to observe him through the rim of my mug. He had a dissappointed look in his face, like the look a kid gets when he doesn't make the baseball team. I had to hide my lips from curving up, so I took an extra long sip again.

This is what I decided John. I'm going to give you a month. I know the customary probationary period is 90 days. But, I don't have time for silly company rules. I'll know for sure if you have what it takes within a month. If you can't keep up with me, I'll just have Human Resources ship you to another department. Possibly the mailroom.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

This is what I waited for? All the grand schemes Jake had thought about playing on the big team, being immediately accepted as an equal vanished in a puff of smoke. The BIG Jaime, super hot shot, couldn’t even remember his name! Gone was Jake’s sophomoric attraction to Jaime, this was serious, his whole fledgling career could hinge on this first assignment. Then, with a flash of understanding, Jake realized with a shock that it wasn’t just that she didn’t remember his name, it was that she didn’t care!

Taking a long time to respond, Jake replayed every sentence Jamie had just said to him. Your credentials weren't that impressive! Well, true enough on that one Jake thought. Sales ability isn’t about where you went to college or the marks you received there. It was about winning. A track record of winning. Jake had no record, had never even sold anything (unless you count the gaudy plastic reindeer and Santa Claus wall figures he had sold for the boy scouts, well - never mind). Jake needed Jaime. He needed her to show him how, let him learn from her.

For the first time in his life, Jake began to think like a professional salesman. How would I approach her, or any new prospect who didn’t know me at all? Jack pondered this for a moment and by sheer luck came up with the only approach that had any possibility of success - even if it was a just a snowball’s chance in hell. Taking a deep breath to calm his frazzled nerves, Jake looked up. Jaime had already forgotten about him as though he was another piece of furniture. Looking down at her paperwork, Jaime was already engrossed in her real work. After staring at her for a while, Jaime felt rather than saw his eyes on her and looked up. Jake spoke.

“Jaime, first of all regardless of how I came to be assigned to you, I am happy to be here. You are the best, and I couldn’t ask for a better assignment for me personally. This all means nothing to you. I have to prove myself by getting results. This Bank of Japan account will take a huge amount of your time. Other less immediately important issues will have to be put off if you do it all alone. Give me the work that is at the bottom of your totem pole, and I’ll do it. Give me those tasks that you dislike and I’ll get them done. I can only promise you that I’ll be diligent and never make the same mistake twice. Thirty days is enough, for me to prove myself, thank you. By the way, my name is Jake not John. ” …

 

[chanaud]

Okay Jake, you have all the right words, but time will tell if you have what it takes. Now I only have two rules if you're going to work for me.

1. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT say a word when I'm talking to a client.

2. You will be at my beck and call 24/7. I will sometimes call you in the middle of the night due to a dealine or a crisis. I need you there with me. If you can't handle it, you can leave right now.

There seemed to be an anxious relief in his eyes. I somehow knew this guy was different from others. This guy was hungry! I just wonder how hungry he is. I knew I was being harsh on this new kid, but I didn't care. If this guy has what it takes, I just might take him under my wing and show him the ropes. If I feel like it!!!

Speaking of being hungry, I glanced at my watch, It's lunchtime...grab your car and meet me up front. I'll give you the lowdown on my new client and our next week's itenary. You do have a decent car with seat belts, don't you?

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

It worked! I had a chance! As I hurried out to the parkeing lot to get my car I was very glad I had just had it washed and detailed. A 1999 black Nissan Maxima with 50,000 miles on it may not be a car that spelled "success" to anyone, but it was certainly a smooth reliable ride.

I pulled up front and Jamie hopped in. During lunch she filled me on her list of issues, and I took copious notes and played every inch the dedicated new guy role.

I was determined to follow through, letting no balls drop that I was given. And then it just sort of happened. I was listening to this human dictaphone saying with staccato precision what my role was to be and the assignments that were mine, when I began to appreciate her beauty once again. Jamie's eyes sparkled with intelligence and the joy of life. Jaime exuded the confidence that only comes when someone is fully at ease with her past success and her current mastery of the sales process.

As I looked at Jaime eating her raspberry sorbet dessert, I watched as the red ice cream slipped into her full mouth, sliding past red succelent lips. MMMmm, I daydreamed of Jaime's lips on me ....

With a start, I realized that Jaime had stopped talking and was staring at me intently. I had been caught in my lustful stares! I was embarrassed, and turned quickly away praying that Jaimie had not seen the appreciation for her in my face, or the building longing in my soul ...

 

[chanaud]

Jaime

Did he just blush? His face turned quickly but from the obvious red neck, I knew exactly what he was thinking. I had to take another spoonful of sorbet to hide the upturn corners of my lips. He turned back to me trying to feign innocence.

Usually distracted by my work, I hardly ever notice when a man is attracted to me. By all means, I know I'm attractive and even been called sexy by a few, but for some reason this guy sitting across me, trying desperately to hide his lust made me realize there is a woman deep inside this suit.

Before I knew what I was doing, I arched my back, pushed my breasts forward and slowly took my jacket off. Whew, it's hot in here, don't you think Jake? Watching my every movement, he just nodded in agreement.

I took another bite of sorbet, hhmmmmmmm....., and playfully twirled the spoon in my mouth before I pulled it out slowly. Do you want to try some?

Before he could answer, I already had a spoonful waiting before his lips.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

You’ve got to be kidding me! Her words reverberated in his brain “Do you want to try some”!. Jake wanted to try EVERYTHING. Including those perfect breasts whose taut outline was now in view through the satin fabric of Jaime’s blouse. They ended in nipples that looked like two large thimbles, stiff and erect. Just bitable!

As Jake opened his mouth to speak, Jaime forced the cool sorbet into his mouth. Laughing now, she was the epitome of the playful, willful, siren. Whoa, Jake thought, where did the dreaded “Dragon Lady” go so fast? Better go slow Jake my boy. Focus on her ~words~ not on her body. At least, this is what Jake’s mind told him. His body was ready for action!

I’m coming across like a complete idiot, Jake thought. Come on, come on. Think! Say something, anything clever. Words utterly failed him Jake mournfully realized. Quickly swallowing the soothing sorbet confection, he just began to laugh uncontrollably at his utter ridiculousness. Jaime stood in front of him, eyes now dancing and a smirk on her face. She knew that she had just reduced Jake to a babbling fool, and she liked it!

Finally showing a semblance of pulling himself together, Jake spoke.

“I couldn’t help it, you just surprised me so back there. The woman’s got range! It’s been one surprise after another since I met you. Got any more in store”? …

 

[chanaud]

Giving him a mischevious smile and a wink, "I'm a woman full of surprises". I said as my hand reached out to touch his hand.

Jake stared at me in amazement, his jaw almost hit the floor. It was obvious he was at a loss for words. I didn't know where that came from myself. This is the first I've flirted with anyone at the company. Especially my subordinate!

Glancing at my watch, I noticed it was already a wasted day so there was no hurry to return to the office. Signaling the waiter, "Let's order a drink Jake. So you haven't told me anything about your personal life. Where are you from, hobbies.... wives......girlfriends......kids?"

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

Jake was stunned by her hand reaching out to his. His first reaction was to pull it away, as if scalded by a hot pan. Jaime was beautiful and all but that was pushed away by the fact that she was his boss! Its not cool for that to happen. She shouldn't do that! He was embarrassed by his overt reaction, and saw that Jaime was not pleased he yanked his hand away.

Rushing on, Jake answered Jaime's questions.

" I love the outdoors, I'm a backpacker and kayaker in the summer, and a downhill skier in the winter. Hobbies, well none really. Not married, and umm, well I have no steady girlfriend either. I was too focused on finishing school and my internship at Key Bank to have the time for a relationship. "

Jake thought he had probably said too much, he was especially uncomfortable with the details on his private life. But he was trapped and he really needed this job ...

 

[chanaud]

Did he just pull his hand away? Stunned, I sat there in a disbelief while he went on about this mondane life. I wondered if I read him incorrectly.... NO he was checking me out. Ok, if that's how he's going to play me, I too can play that game. He doesn't realize who I am. I'm going to show him nobody fucks with Jaime Spinoza!

Signaling the waiter. I just remembered a phone call I have to make. Let's go.

With a fury, I signed the bill with my corporate American Express, stood up and hurried out the door. Jake stunned by my sudden change in personality had to run to maintain my pace.

Sitting in the car in silence, he kept stealing glances of bewilderment. But with my shades on, my face was unreadable.

Back at the office, I pulled open my bottom desk drawer and handed him a boxful of receipts. Shiela usually does this for me, but I want to give her a break. Here are my last month's receipts, I need it categorized and totaled by each project. Then run it down to Accounting. If you have any questions, just get with Shiela.

Jaime, Hirato Sagaski is on the line for you Shiela called in.

Mr. Sagaski, yes I heard. Thank you soo much for instilling your trust with me and IBM......pointing to the empty table for Jake to work at.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

So, Jamie has a vindictive streak in her personality. Still silently cursing himself for his stupid visceral reaction, Jake was determined not to make that mistake again. It was not that he would cooperate though, it was just that he would not react to her overtures. That is if she made any more, because he could tell she was still seething at the affront.

Jake sat at the table, and began to organize the receipts. Clerical work wasn't hard, just boring and repetitive. Jake couldn't help but notice the size of some of the Amex charge slips, routinely north of $ 400 for dinner entertainment. Jaime had a party mentality too, since some of these places were dance clubs on the Strip. Her clients obviously had great nights out with her.

Averting her eyes, Jake silently completed the task. It took about an hour and a half, during which time Jamie said nothing to him. The silence hung in the air, and the tension - at least for Jake - was thick. Bad start, he thought, what a bad start on his working relationship. Jake spoke.

"I'm finished. Its getting late - is there anything else that you need from me today?". Jake stood there for long minutes waiting for a reply ...

 

[chanaud]

Jaime

Finally looking up with a blank stare......What did he say again? Oh yeah, something about going home. What time is it?

"It's 7 o'clock Jaime."

Only 7??, I snickered. It's early. I told you Jake, if you want to survive here at IBM, this is your home. What you go to every night is just a temporary shelter. Very well, since this is your first night, go. But, I need you here at 7am sharp! If I'm not here, you can start studying Swiss Bank's portfolio. A little bird told me they're merging with People's Bank of China. We need to know everything about them and we need to know it fast!!!!

"If you would like, I can start now". Jake asked eagerly.

Laughing sarcastically, No that's ok, you need your beauty rest.

"Very well, I'll start first thing. Good night Jaime."

Jaime watched him turn, pick up his briefcase and walk out her office. Hhmmmmm...not bad. Nice ass and he walks as if he's an athlete. I wonder if he fucks like one too. Oh well, there's time for that later.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

I've got to do something to impress her, soimething she can really use. Jake hit the internet and did a lot of fundamental research on the Peoples Bank of China.

He found out the number of branches they had (1900) so that Jaime could get an idea of the number of teller stations, passbook printers, and /400 routers that IBM could sell there. Jake also found out that the data center was in Shanghai (where else?) because in a merger that would be the first victim of consolidation. Jake printed all this out and organized it in a blue folder for Jaime to peruse in the morning. Jake prayed she would be appreciative of his efforts but he had been wrong so often at guessing her moods the first day he just gave up trying to figure Jaime out for now.

Jake still had time for a beer with his bartender pal Patrick down at O'Grady's before closing time. For some strange reason, Jake told Patrick about his first day and the pass that Jaime had made at him. Instead of giving Jake support, Patrick - as he was wiping up some spilled Harp lager from the bar - told Jake that he was crazy! What red blooded American male would complain about a deal like that? Patrick said he ought to just shut up and enjoy himself.

As Jake slowly walked the three blocks home, Patrick's words kept getting replayed. Finally shaking his head as if to literally throw those thoughts out, Jake went in and fell fast asleep.

Jake was in the office by 6:30, and had his coffee in hand when Jaime came in at 6:50. Her eyes widened slightly at seeing him in so early.

"Good Morning" Jake said. "I love to get in before anyone else. I'm a morning person. Coffee?"

 

[chanaud]

Jaime

Walking up the corridor, I was surprised to see the lights on in my office. Damn, I was hoping to get an early start this morning! Why can't the cleaners clean my office first? Reminder to myself - Call Maintenance, clean my office first! For now, I'll just stop for coffee and ask them to leave.

Coffee in hand, briefcase and laptop in another, I entered my office......Good morning. I love to get in before anyone else. I"m a morning person. Coffee? cried out a cheerful voice.

I jumped out of my skin, almost falling backwards, coffee spilled everywhere... FUCK! FUCK...FUCK...FUCK....It's hot.....
What? All over my new DKNY white blouse!

Throwing down my laptop and briefcase, I ran to the ladies room cursing.....

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

Jake just stood there, mouth agape. Damn it! I have all the luck in the world, and here at IBM its all been bad. Jaime's blouse is probably ruined and she went off down the corridor cursing like a sailor at closing time.

Finally deciding to move, he ran to the restroom and grabbed some paper hand towels. He then went back to Jaime's office to get the floor cleaned, well at least to mop up the standing coffee. It wasa sheer luck the laptop wasn't damaged, he knew he was toast if it had been.

Silently, he went to the coffee room and poured another full mug for Jamie. He now knew she liked it black! Jake couldn't help but laugh to himself, Jaime had looked comical standing there with her coffee dripping down her blouse. The wet blouse had clearly shown through to her bra. At least she had been wearing one, ouch. Her body was smoking hot! Jake had plainly seen that with his own eyes. Despite yesterday's conflicted emotions, Jake knew Patrick was right. With a body like that, Jake knew his resistance would be low.

Another five minutes passed, and Jake felt the tension building again. It seemed like he had spent hours waiting for her in the last two days. She might just tell him these things were bad omens and ask Jake to leave right then and there. Jake couldn't let that happen! Be over the top, warm, and friendly when she returns. Drop the aloof attitude. He just had to assuage her wrath. Do whatever it takes, Jake concluded.

Jake heard her coming this time down the hallway. Lengthy aggressive strides. Jake called out before she rounded the corner "I'm in here still." Jamie swung into view. Jake continued "Is there anything I can do for you Jaime, anything at all?"...

 

[chanaud]

Fuck, this kid is always in my way. That's it, he's out of here! I don't care what Terry thinks

I started rubbing wet paper towels and soap to my blouse; it only made the spot larger. Dammit, this blouse is ruined. Well I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for this. Note to self - buy another blouse and add to IBM expense. And fire Jake!

I stormed back to my office, still cursing under my breath.

Jake yells out, I'm in here still. Great! Just my luck.

Is there anything I can do you for you? Anything at all? Was he begging? Geez. Well, I wanted him to fuck me yesterday. And he couldn't even do that!!! Wait that's it! Recalling how he looked at me then whipped his hand away from mine, it dawned on me he actually DOES want to succeed at IBM. Most men would jump at the chance of fucking me. I've got him now! Me thinks, Jaime Spinoza is going to have some fun with this kid.

Anything Jake? hhmmm...that's a loaded question, isn't it? Close my door, while I change my blouse.

I opened one of the file drawers and whip out a white tshirt.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

Beaten. Jake knew that he was beaten at that instant, everything that could have gone wrong had gone wrong. With a certain amount of naive horror, Jake realized that the words he had spoken were the wrong ones. They had not been meant as an offer. He had simply said what he was thinking, clearly a rookie mistake. I say once again, beaten. Now, Jaime was going to take full advantage of his gaffe.

Slowly, Jake closed the door. He watched her pull out a t-shirt left over from one of the innumerable trade shows that Jaime attended. it was emblazoned with the IBM logo and the words IBM RISC Chips. Faster is Better. RISC! This certainly applied to the chance Jaime was about to take, risky indeed.

Jake couldn't help but stare at her ruined blouse, more specifically at what Jaime had under her blouse! Staring him straight in the eye, Jaime unbuttoned her blouse slowly starting at the bottom one after another. Never taking her eyes off Jake, she pulled it all the way off. Her eyes seemed to be daring Jake to object, or to look away. Jake did neither. When her blouse was fully off, Jake audibly gasped, her chest was perfect! For the first time that day Jaime smiled at his discomfort and admiration of her. Moving closer to Jake, she spoke ....

 

[chanaud]

Jaime

Listen Jake; I’m going to be brutally honest with you. I think we started off on the wrong foot. When I was in the ladies room, I was ready to fire you on the spot. But walking back, I realize Terry is right. I’m overworked and DO need help. Now, I’m determined to land People’s Bank account. WHEN, I do land it, everybody in the corporate world will be talking about it for years. And guess who will be by my side? That’s right Jake, you!

I paused for a moment, grabbed some tissue and started wiping at the coffee stains on my laced bra. Damn my bra too! He better be worth it. Sigh.

Looking back up at him, I noticed his eyes were focused on my hands rubbing myself. Ha! This is going to be great. I can see the look in his eyes. He’s mine! I take a step closer still holding my t-shirt and continued.

So, what I’m trying to get at here, is this….You be available for me for the next month or two with no fuck ups and I will share my limelight with you. Your name will be connected with mine. What do you think?

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

What do you think?

Overeagerly, Jake gushed back, "Yes! Of course yes! All I need is a chance, Don't worry - you can depend on me! Thank you." Jake stepped forward and hugged her!

Just when Jake had thought that Jaime was going to make another pass at him, she surprised him again. He realized he had been off balance from the first moment he laid eyes on her. She was mercurial, confounding, beautiful, and the most highly motivated person she had ever known. Jaime got what she wanted. Jake knew all he had to do was remain on her team, and he would have more than his share of reflected glory.

The People's Bank of China. Beijing. It had to mean a Far East trip or two. Jake had never been out of the USA before, since nobody here counts Canada as another country. Taking a side trip to the Great Wall, seeing China first hand. Wow talk about an adventure of a lifetime!

Jake realized that Jaime was just standing there, a wide grin now on her face. Uh oh. The hug may have been out of order! Sheepishly, Jake said,

"Sorry about the hug back then, I was just so happy" ....

 

[chanaud]

His laugh infectious, I laughed too, No problem.

I stood there in front of him not saying a word. Soon, our smiles dimmed. An awkward silence hung in the air. He kept sneaking peeks at my coffee-stained bra, but I remained standing there, daring him to make a move. I can feel the cold office air hitting my breasts, causing my nipples to push against the lace. I had goosebumps up and down my arms, but I still remained.

After what seemed like a few minutes, I broke the silence.

We have a lot of work to do and we have to do this quietly. The word isn't out yet, but it will be soon. As soon as these losers at IBM hear of it, we will already have a considerable lead. I already discussed this with Terry, he's going to arrange a meeting with the CEO of People's and Swiss Bank's as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we need to dig up all the information we can find on them. Because of the anonmity, let's go to my place. We can get a lot more work done there.

I lifted my arms, and allowed the tshirt fall over my head and down my body.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

"Right! We'll go right away, I'll gather my things!" Jake said. If they had let that silence last another minute, Jake thought, I'd have just burst. He knew that it had been a close call. If Jaime had tried to kiss him just then .....

Jaime jolted him away from his silent reverie. She looked slightly ridiculous, the t shirt did not at all go with the expensive dark blue skirt and suit she wore. As they walked out of the office, Jake noticed not a single person teased Jaime about the shirt. Man, this woman is as scary to them as she is to me!

Falling in stride into his now accustomed position of two steps behind Jaime, they strode purposely out of the building, stopping only briefly at security to wave her badges. For the third time in two days Jake admired her swaying ass, this time he was almost sure it had a little extra added sway in it as if she knew he was watching! Jake couldn't tell if it was real or imagined, although by the time they reached their cars, Jake was glad he had his sportscoat on to hide his erection.

"I'll follow you" Jake said. With a nod of assent, Jaime hopped in her car and with a florish drove off at breakneck speed leaving Jake to floor it just to keep her tailights in view...

 

[chanaud]

Jaime

My mind spinning on People's Bank, I didn't even think about giving Jake my address, but the smell of the coffee emitting off my skin reminded me to glance back. With my dark CK shades, I was able to look back often to be sure he was within sight. I had to laugh at him desperately trying to maintain my speed. I have to say...the man is determined. And I can already tell, he has good instincts. Not that I'm going to tell him that!

I turned the corner to an underground garage, stopped at the security gate, and instructed the guard to allow Jake in and to give him my penthouse number. I parked the car, rode the elevator, and hurried in my place to wash the smell off me.

Leaving the door open, I started stripping as I hurried to the bathroom. My purse thrown on the front hall table, one shoe kicked by the door, the other a few steps away, jacket thrown over a chair and my skirt, shirt and pantyhose left a trail to the shower.

 

[darrenfate]

JAKE

Jake finally lost her, he was just unable to keep up. With a somewhat silly smile, Jake said out loud to no one in particular, "It won't be the last time, either!" Lucky for him he had jotted down her address and apartment number. It was a building that Jake was unfamiliar with.

As he came to her street, he realized that he was on the most prime piece of real estate in town, the ritzy strip overlooking the water and the pier. As he motored slowly looking for the building address, when he saw it he knew that he had made it way too hard on himself. All he should have done is look for the tallest and richest looking building on the block! There it was, towering 34 stories high. Jake saw the garage, and pulled up to the armed guard. He waved Jake in.

When he found a spot and entered the elevator, it came as no surprise that Jaime was on the top floor. She lived in no apartment , she lived in the penthouse !

The door was slightly ajar as he went to knock, and opening it Jake saw the stream of garments leading to the shower. He was tempted to pick up after her, but decided he didn't want to explain why he had touched her clothes. It seemed like he was drawn back every ten minutes to think about sex with her! She sure wore nice bras!

Seating himself at a long glass dining room table that seated eight, Jake opened up his briefcase and started to review his internet notes. He heard the water stop, and then Jamie came out, moving at her usual breakneck speed of 80 mph ...
