"$500? Are you kidding me?" Sadie thought to herself as she furiously drove through the tunnel home in New Jersey.
Her boss, Rick, had been working her 60-70 hour weeks for months working on a merger for the company and a bonus had been promised. Since she knew Rick would be earning around a half a million dollars on this deal, she had been expecting significantly more than $500.
Hell, ten times that wasn't even enough for the amount of work she had been putting in. $500 was a slap in the face. And to think, she had chosen to work for this guy.
What had she been thinking?
She pondered this as she kept driving. Well, she had wanted to work on Wall Street and this job had given her that; she had made a good salary for a few years and had enjoyed what she did. So why Rick? He had been a good manager early on. He was kind, patient and had taught her how to do her job. And he was harmless; that can't really be overstated. She had friends and coworkers who had been groped, sexually harassed, pressured into relationships and more. And Rick was nothing like that. He was a little older than many of the guys in the office, probably 25 years or so older than some, and he was as harmless as they come. He liked to tease her a little but it was in such a doddering way that it was more corny than serious, and he thought he was hilarious so she usually just nodded and went along with it.
She was coming to the conclusion that he wasn't really a bad guy; he was just clueless. He was like a relic to an earlier time when admins were never the primary breadwinners, didn't have many options and were grateful to whatever they were given from the executives. She just needed to adjust his attitude into this century.
The next morning she was still thinking about it as she showered, and she found herself getting turned on. These thoughts were certainly unexpected. She knew that he had admired her, she was much younger and she knew she looked great. Although she was nearing 30 she still got plenty of attention from both younger and older me, She could usually be seen in professional skirts or suits, but she was in great shape and wore them well. And when she went out with her friends she was always the one who got the most attention. The thought of luring him into an illicit situation and taking control was really exciting her. The thought of this was making her really want this.
Could it be that easy? Could she simply just seduce him?
After contemplating this she decided that she couldn't. Not that "she" couldn't per se, but that he was just too much of a straight-laced guy. She had control of his calendar; she knew he didn't play around. She'd met his wife and she seemed as old fashioned as he was, plus she was a frumpy sort. She looked like a grandmother whereas Sadie looked more like the stereotypical beautiful co-ed graduate student that gave college kids wet dreams. His wife was the kind who would wear baggy jeans and no makeup and work in her garden around their house. She probably hadn't tried to turn her husband on in years, if ever. Sadie wondered if they even had sex anymore. Sadie was the one who kept up with Rick's important dates like anniversaries and birthdays and when she went out to pick up his gifts for his wife they were always practical things like raincoats or household items. There was never even a hint of romance between them. Rick probably teased Sadie more than he did his wife despite his comments being more like "dad jokes" than meaningful teasing.
"What to do? What to do?" she thought to herself.
Then the idea popped in her mind. She finished getting ready for work and pulled out her phone to check the calendar. She smiled as she noticed that next Tuesday was the day before Valentine's Day and just the day she needed it to be.
She went on into work and acted normally, patiently waiting for Tuesday.
Tuesday seemed to take forever to arrive but at least it gave her time to prepare. She went shopping and made the purchases she needed to make, and she manipulated her and Rick's schedule so that they'd be alone and working together for most if not all of that afternoon.
Around noon she made sure his schedule was completely cleared and then entered his office carrying a tray.
"I've brought us some lunch in; I was thinking we'd grab a quick bite and get started on this afternoon's work," she announced.
Rick glanced up and answered, "Good thinking Sadie, what do you have to tempt me with?"
There was one of his weak teasing attempts and with what could only be described as a stupid looking grin on his face.
"The man may be a genius in the world of mergers and acquisitions but goodness gracious, he can be a dork sometimes," she thought to herself.
These lunches were fairly common between them so this was all routine to him. She was about to break this routine, but she knew he needed it to be extremely gradual or else he would balk and end it.
"Why, Rick," she responded with a smirk, "You know I know exactly how to tempt you."
She had never played into one of his comments before so he looked up and might have even shown a bit of concern, but before he said anything or really thought much about it, Sadie had set lunch in front of him, and he noticed that it was his favorite meal from the cafe downstairs.
Sadie sat across the desk from him and finished setting their meals up, smiling at him but not doing anything overtly sexual. She knew that her hair and makeup were perfect and that her blouse had an extra button undone today, but those were hopefully subtle enough changes that he wouldn't consciously notice. He was a man so he'd eventually pick up on it; she just needed to stay in view and let nature take its course.
They sat eating and making small talk. Nothing they hadn't done dozens of times before.
She watched as he sipped his cup filled with tea, nearly empty now, and as he noticed her looking at it, he said, "It's almost as sweet as you, my dear."
She had to stop from rolling her eyes as she thought to herself that she'd probably heard him say that to her hundreds of times, but this time she'd tease back.
"Rick, you shouldn't say that," she responded coyly, "I'm only sweet sometimes, other times I can be a bit of a bad girl."
He looked at her directly for a second or two but went back to eating. He probably couldn't think of anything to say in response. The man certainly wasn't experienced at flirting so she thought that he would be more uncomfortable than aroused at this point.
What Rick didn't know was that, as he finished his tea, which was overly sweetened by the way, was that he had just swallowed his first ever Viagra. The reason she had used more sugar than usual was because Sadie had crushed the blue tablet and mixed it in as well. She didn't think that it would affect the flavor, but by adding some extra sugar she was quite certain that he'd never notice anything different. She also knew that by being crushed it would take far less than the 30 minutes that the ads say to take effect.
A few more minutes of small talk and Rick suggested that they get to work.
Sadie checked her watch and saw that they had been eating, and in Rick's case drinking the tea, for about a half hour so the Viagra would start to have its effect at any time now.
"Actually, Rick, if you can wait a minute I have a surprise for you," she said.
