Page 35 of Mr. Not Quite Perfect

“You were also hired because I think you’re highly intelligent. I think you have a great brain.”

“And how do you know that? I mean, we met once before we hooked up.”

“You asked a lot of very pertinent questions when I met you,” he said. “Plus, you do give a mean blow job.”

“You see? That’s what I mean, Travis. That’s why we can’t hook up again. Look, I’m not going to lie. I’m attracted to you, and you’re attracted to me, and our chemistry is off the charts. And yeah, the sex was pretty good, and I didn’t absolutely hate giving you a blow job, but I want to be taken seriously. Yeah, maybe I took this job because I needed a job and I wanted to make good money, but I’m actually starting to learn things. Foster is tutoring Alice and me. Well, maybe tutoring’s not the right word, but you know what I mean. I’m finding that I want to become better at investing and make a name for myself, and I can’t do that if I’m hooking up with you.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone. “I am glad that you’re starting to learn the ins and outs of the finance world, but that’s why I want us to figure out the rules of whatever this is between us.”

“There is nothing between us. You can have any woman you want, Travis. Why do you need to mess around with me?”

“Because you are the woman who turns me on right now.”

“Okay. So I turn you on for the next month, and then what?”

“What do you mean, and then what?”

“You just move on to someone else.”

“I mean, I don’t know how long our passion will last, but while we are enjoying each other I don’t see why it has to end. I want you to be completely honest with me here, Molly.”

“Fine.”

“What if I told you to close your eyes right now?”

“Ha ha.”

“And pull down your panties.”

“What?”

“Just listen to me, Molly.”

“Fine. I’m listening.”

“And don’t interrupt me.”

“Yes, sir.”

He chuckled. “I told you to close your eyes right now. Pull down your panties and start playing with yourself and thinking of me. Would even a part of you want to do it?”

I bit down on my lower lip. I couldn’t lie. I was already tingling all over. My panties were already wet hearing him say those words, so I didn’t respond.

“Molly,” he said, breathing heavily into the phone. “If I told you that my hands were on my cock right now, and I was pleasuring myself, and I was thinking of you here with me, how badly I wanted to be inside you? Well—”

“Travis, stop,” I said, interrupting him. “We can’t. We shouldn’t.”

“We can. What if we just keep it out of the office completely?”

“You can’t do that. You’re already inappropriate.”

“I’m the boss. I can do whatever I want. But if you want to keep it out of the office, we can. I just cannot not have you again.”

I thought for a moment. “So what does that mean? We hook up, but we don’t mention it in the office?”

“Exactly. Our conversations out of the office are about pleasure, and our conversations in the office are all business.”

“Okay. But then what about this business trip? What’s that?”
