Five years ago, Abby strolled into the meeting room and into my life as a 18-year old having just completed high school. I still remember what she wore: red gym shorts, a blue tank top and black flip flops. Her light brown hair came down loose to her shoulders, swaying as she sat down in the seat next to me while we both prepared for the first day of orientation for a summer job for which we had both been hired as temporary employees.
My first thought was that Abby was awfully cute, but my second thought was that she was a little young for my taste. Even then, though, my mind couldn't help but wander, considering how I'd like to defile this girl one day. I couldn't help but notice her slender frame, bright green eyes and light freckles that were all but covered up by her makeup, all combining to lead me to believe that, with a little more seasoning, Abby would be an exceptional talent as far as my lust was concerned.
As it turned out, Abby and I hit it off right away. I realized quickly that she was a very sweet and very fun girl. I also found out that she had a boyfriend and that she was still six years younger than I. Oddly enough, she remained very friendly with me, leading me to believe that there was some sort of mutual attraction between the two of us. However, I'd let my imagination get away for just a few minutes before always pulling myself back and remembering the whole contemplation was moot anyway. I had plenty of reasons to resist any temptation with the young girl - for now, that is.
We worked together for just those couple brief months, but we stayed in touch through the years, mainly via social media. While it would be more than four years until we would meet again under fortuitous circumstances, I never took my eyes off her, figuratively speaking, of course. I noticed when she dumped her boyfriend a couple years later and soon after found out through a mutual friend that Abby did in fact have a crush on me. Despite my attempts to meet up with her, I was met with frustration for a number of reasons until she was off the market again.
Finally, last summer, now in a career job, I was hiring in my department after a couple people left the company. The majority of my staff was female, and a few of these ladies were young and attractive. For the past couple years, I'd successfully fought off the urge to pursue a sexual relationship with a couple of them, but I started to change my mind about the risks involved in hooking up with an employee when a particular application came through my email.
I called Abby immediately after receiving her resume and set up an interview for the following day. While personally I was excited at the prospect of being Abby's boss, professionally I wasn't sure if Abby was the most qualified candidate for the job. Of course I was going to give it to her, but in my mind she was still the 18-year old with a history of immature relationships. The work required in the position for which I was hiring demanded more than entry-level skill.
On the day of the interview, I greeted Abby for the first time in four years. Right away I noticed that the young girl was growing up into a capable woman. At 22 now, she still had a lot to learn, but I realized how unfair I had been to judge her based on my work with her when she was 18. She went on to nail the interview from start to finish: arriving early, dressing professionally, presenting an impressive cover letter and resume (for a girl just finishing college) and answering all my questions very well. Of course, the interview was more casual than most of the ones I conducted, and by the end we were just catching up. Afterward, though, I just had to cross a few t's before I called her the next day to offer her the job.
Abby continued to only impress me. She caught onto the job duties quickly and was one of my top performers within a month. She was also just as cute and friendly as I remembered her, only now she was more mature. Without even realizing it, I was spending more time than I needed to with her at work, and we were drawing out email conversations to an extent that was no longer professional. Things between us were going so well both personally and professionally that those fantasies soon returned, although I originally had no intent on carrying out my thoughts.
This past spring, the chemistry and sexual tension between Abby and me reached a fever pitch. She was still performing admirably at her job and was more and more often the star of my lustful fantasies. By May, I was at a place in my life where I was no longer satisfied with just thinking about my cute employee. I was going to pursue actually fucking her.
Becoming personally involved with an employee was risky, obviously. I knew, for what it was worth, right from the start I wasn't looking for anything serious with Abby. She was cute, but I didn't want a lasting relationship - just a fun time and a good story. Even though I had entertained the thought of having sex with Abby for a few years now, the fact that I was her boss made it even hotter.
I would come to find out that Abby was looking for nothing more than I was too. It turns out that even though she was attracted to me, she went down this path with me only because the thought of getting railed by her boss really turned her on. Also, I think she was hoping for some extra perks for her job. Regardless, for now, though, I had no reason to believe she was seeing or committed to anyone else or not looking for commitment, so I had to play my cards carefully.
By my design, Abby and my conversations became more casual and often not even born from professional matters. I was encouraged at how easy it was to talk to her on a much more mundane level. Yes, I'd always been comfortable talking with her, but she seemed especially agreeable with developing a real friendship outside of work - perhaps even eager to push our relationship along, something I was never able to do before she worked for me. Within two weeks of determining to sleep with her, I was comfortably joking with her about sex. It wasn't long at all after that point that I was suggesting a little office romance.
"That would be fun," I said over a casual lunch one Saturday afternoon. My heart was going weak as I tried to sound just casual enough to not seem like a creep but confident enough so she would take me seriously. It was quite the tightrope to walk after just implying to a subordinate that we have sex together. "What do you think?"
"Please tell me you're serious," Abby answered. My heart was pounding now, and I almost forgot to breath.
"I am if you are," I practically choked out. "Maybe tonight?"
