office.
    She went in and Brayden walked to the
rear of his office and sat down behind his desk.   He was wearing a dark green button-down
shirt, no tie, and jeans that hugged his muscular legs tightly.
    Lanie stood before him, feeling awkward,
as she continued to carry the materials from HR.
    “So what happens now?” she asked, as
Brayden looked her over.
    “This is just the beginning,” he said
cryptically.  
    Lanie sighed.   “I’m not sure why I got the job.   You seemed like you thought I was a poor
candidate for the position.”
    Brayden smiled.   “First impressions can sometimes be
misleading.   I realized that when
you called me yesterday after our interview.”
    “That was an accident.”
    “A fortuitous one,” he said, “for both of
us.”
    Lanie shook her head.   “I didn’t take this job to be your…”
    “My what?” Brayden challenged.
    “I heard what your boss said to you about
work scandals,” she said.   “In the
Fishbowl back there.”
    The confident CEO just looked at her, a
slow grin creeping over his face.   He reclined in his seat, still watching her.   “You heard what my boss said to me.”   He
laughed a little.
    “That’s right.   The President of the company said you
should stop screwing around with women in the office.”   Her voice got quieter and quieter until
she was whispering the last few words.
    “First of all, you’re a little confused
about the structure of our company,” Brayden said.   “Virgil is not my boss, he’s the
president.   The CEO is the head of
the company.   The president of the
company is second in command.”
    “That can’t be right,” she said, feeling
confused now.
    “It is,” Brayden said.   “See, you’re already learning new
things.”   Suddenly, he sat forward
and placed his elbows on the desk as he leaned towards her.   “As for his lecture about my private
life, he’s entitled to his opinions.   But I’m not going to change who I am for him or
anyone else.   I’m always in control
and that’s not up for discussion.”
    “I’m here to work ,” Lanie said, trying to sound firmer than she felt.
    “Apparently, you’re here to eavesdrop on
private conversations between executives.   You know, I should fire you on the spot for that.”
    Lanie blanched.   “It was an accident.”
    “You seem to be very accident prone, if
you don’t mind me saying.”
    “What do you want from me?” she asked,
feeling backed into a corner.   She
hugged her work materials tightly.   “Just say it.”
    “I want you to blow me,” he replied.
    Lanie just stared at him.   “That’s not funny.”
    “I didn’t say it to be funny.   You asked me what I want from you.”
    She felt her face turn bright red, and
yet she wasn’t really upset at him for saying it.   In fact, instantly, she was turned
on.  
    But Lanie knew that this was wrong.   This had to be wrong, by definition.
    “You’re my boss now.   This is harassment.”  
    “Only if my advances are unwelcome.”   Brayden leaned back and this time he
pushed his chair away from his desk.   “I won’t fire you for refusing to blow me, Lanie.”
    She couldn’t keep her mouth closed.   Her jaw literally opened, and she had to
remind herself to shut her mouth.   “Brayden.   Please.   This is insane.   I know what we did at my apartment…and I
suppose I enjoyed it…”
    “I know you enjoyed it.   We both enjoyed it,” Brayden told
her.   “And now I’m going to make
myself very clear.   You won’t lose
your job for refusing me.   You won’t
experience any repercussions if you say no.   I’m serious.”   He stared at her.  
    “I won’t dignify any of this with a
response,” she replied, her heart pounding.
    “I want you to put those books and
pamphlets down, walk around my desk, kneel down, and unzip my pants.”   Brayden’s eyes were mischievous but also
hungry.
    She realized he wasn’t joking.   Not even a little
