**********
For the second time in as many weeks, Michelle found herself scribbling a note and leaving it on the kitchen counter before making an early morning get-away after an awkward sexual experience.
"An awkward sexual experience." That's the understatement of the year, as this time she was making a quick exit from her childhood home after making love to her father for the first time, too embarrassed and ashamed to stick around and face her parents.
"I really need to get myself into therapy," Michelle thought to herself, as she passed through the toll booth of the New York Thruway, heading back to her apartment in Poughkeepsie. The small patch of pubic hair between her thighs was matted with the dried combination of hers and her father's cum, because she didn't want to risk waking her parents with a morning shower.
Her thoughts kept drifting between the memories of the intense pleasure she felt while sucking on her father's cock, and the horrible knot of concern she would get in the pit of her stomach, at the thought of possibly ruining the wonderful relationship she had built with her dad over the years. And the sheer wave of terror that would wash over her at the thought of facing her mother.
"Poughkeepsie 1 Mile," read the Thruway sign, and Michelle uttered, "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" The impromptu trip home was to escape the sexual tension between her and her boss, Ms. Julie Covington McGill, and the minor detail of having sucked off her husband the morning after they invited her over for a "welcome to the firm" barbeque. And now she was making a hasty exit from her hometown, after realizing her girlhood fantasy of making love with her father.
Michelle briefly considered just continuing to drive south, running away from all of these awkward situations caused by her overactive sex drive. But being a realist, she threw on her right blinker at the last minute and took the exit.
"What matters most is what you do next," she encouraged herself, using the often repeated advice from her father over the years, whenever she would find herself in a difficult position.
The steaming hot water of the three-by-three shower in her small apartment felt like a tropical vacation, as it flowed over her 5-foot-3 frame and her 34b breasts, untangling the small patch of hair that sat above her otherwise bare pussy. Thoughts of two of the strongest women in her life, and her most prominent role models, her mother and her new boss, Ms. Julie Covington-McGill, kept running through her mind. Despite her efforts to use the shower to forget her troubles, her thoughts kept drifting to the memories of sucking each of their husband's cocks.
"Why does cock have to taste so damned good?!" she exclaimed aloud in the small bathroom, her voice resonating off the tiled walls, as she shut off the water and stepped out of the shower.
Michelle sat in her car in the Smith and McGill employee lot for a good 15 minutes before working up the courage to pull open her door. "Put on your big girl pants and face the music," another often used phrase of encouragement from her father, ran through her mind, as she stepped out of her Prius and headed into the office.
The small talk with her coworkers about the weekend helped make things seem "normal" and soon she was at her desk, burying herself in her work.
The bing of her email notification snapped her attention away from the spreadsheet she was analyzing, and her heart sank when she saw who it was from and the subject line, "Important - Come to my office at 4:30pm today."
While this was Michelle's first job out of college, she was smart enough to know that being summoned to the boss's office for an end of the day meeting was never a good sign, especially after you've fucked up. She could feel her face redden as she contemplated all the ramifications of being fired, and kicked herself for not just staying on the Thruway last night and running away.
She took a deep breath and clicked the red X on the notification, preparing herself to "take her medicine," another familiar phrase from the clichΓ© factory that was her father. The next hour of the afternoon seemed more than a day, and when the clock in the lower corner of her monitor showed 4:25, she stood up and smoothed out her skirt, pulling the navy blazer over her cream colored blouse, as she headed to the large office in the northwest corner of the floor.
"Miss Lynch is here to see you ma'am," said the middle aged secretary into her headset.
"Send her in," came the curt reply, loud enough for Michelle to hear both through the door and the earpiece of the headset.
"You can go in now," said the secretary, with a tone and look of empathy.
Michelle took another deep breath as she turned the handle of the heavy door and entered the beautifully appointed office.
"Come," said her boss with a wave of her hand, without lookup away from the computer screen on the return of the desk. Michelle's heels make a clacking sound as she walked over the cherry hardwood floor, until she made it to the large Persian rug which covered the space under her desk.
Ms. Covington-McGill kept typing at her keyboard as if Michelle was not even there, makings the seconds feel like hours, and causing the remorse to spread through Michelle's body like a virus. Standing silently like this also caused a familiar tingle between her legs, as she remembered how her dad would use the same tactic before administering spankings when she was a little girl.
"So how long did you think it would take me to figure out what you've been up to?" Julie said without looking up from her computer. Michelle was thankful for the silence to finally be broken, but shuddered at literally being called out on the carpet like this.
"I'm sorry ma'am?" Michelle said barely above a whisper, eyes still cast at the floor, adding the question to the end of the response, as if she didn't know what Ms. McGill was referring to, but sincerely offering the apology.
"Oh, I certainly wasn't expecting an apology young lady," Julie responded, making Michelle feel even smaller and more insignificant than she already did.
Michelle heard Julie's chair creek as she turned it away from her computer, and instinctively she moved her head up to look her boss in the eyes. She was ready to accept responsibility for her actions, and was going to take her lumps while maintaining her dignity. She just hoped the axe would fall quickly, so she could keep herself from crying until she was escorted out of the building.
Those eyes. Big, round, pools of deep blue ocean water, peering at her from behind a pair of elegant half-glasses, on a sparkling gold chain. Michelle felt her heart flutter when their gaze met, and thought that if she had to be fired, at least it's by someone incredibly beautiful, who she respected and admired. But then she read the rest of her boss's face, and was taken aback by the beautiful smile. "Is she actually enjoying this?"
"How soon can you pack up your things?" Julie asked while handing Michelle a page off her printer, presumably a termination agreement.
