The days and weeks went by and Jodi and Bryan continued their affair. But time together got harder to come by as the holidays approached. Retail is a busy place to be during the holidays and each of them found themselves working forty and fifty hour weeks, with no time to enjoy each other's company. They would exchange an occasional glance or accidentally rub up against each other, but they had no real sexual contact for the better part of two months.
Finally, the holiday season wound down and it was time for the after-holiday blahs. The store got slower and there was more rearranging of personnel. It was even rumored that Bryan was going to have to do layoffs. Jodi felt that her job was secure, not just because she was sleeping with the boss, but because she was one of the better employees at the store. It took her a bit by surprise then, when Bryan called her to his office one Friday afternoon. She went in there expecting a quick romp, but found the two other store managers there instead. Bryan went through the usual speech and handed her a paper to sign. She was being laid off. She just sat there, stunned, and couldn't even look at Bryan. Each of the other managers gave their sympathies and left. Bryan stood and gave her a hug. She didn't really want it, but she was trying to hide her anger. She left the office, gathered her things from her locker and left the store.
It took Jodi a couple of weeks to get over her anger and hurt. It was actually her libido that won out in the end. While she was still upset at being let go, she was more upset that she wasn't going to see the best lover she'd had in years. One Friday night, after a nice dinner out with some friends, she decided to drop by the store on some phony pretext of needing Bryan to sign something for her. He almost always worked Friday nights, so she knew he'd be there. She put on a see through white top, a pair of very nice fitting jeans, and went over to the store.
Bryan greeted her warmly as she entered and they walked back to his office, amid stares from some of the employees. When they reached his office, Jodi shut the door and removed her coat as he sat down.
"Miss me?" She asked.
His eyes were immediately drawn to her see-through shirt. Her nipples hardened under his stare.
"Of course I did," he said with a sly smile.
Jodi moved closer to him, her chest now at his eye level.
