Chapter 1 - Wheel and Deal
Blake Thorn. Blake Thorn is the office hottie that every girl dreams about. Or at least, I do. His strawberry blonde hair and mountain man beard cloud my dreams constantly. Blake is funny and kind. The perfect combination. His animated stories will have everyone in stitches, but Blake is also still one of the hardest workers I know- a trait I greatly admire.
I frequently imagine licking up and down his toned stomach, but then reality sets in and I remember the unfortunate part of all of this- Blake is married, and I’m not that kind of girl. I’m not a home wrecker and never will be, so I continue to admire from afar and imagine Blake when pleasuring myself.
Blake and I have worked side by side for the last 4 years. He oversees the sales and contracts, and I pick up after the deal is done for training and integrating clients. We are by far the most successful team at Strata and are often referred to as the dynamic duo.
I work mostly with men, and quite enjoyed it. As a 24 year old woman, I liked being admired and was very outgoing. I enjoyed when the men would stare, especially on the occasional day I caught Blake staring at me. I had shoulder length blond hair that I typically wore in lose curls. I had bright blue eyes that genetically were far more blue than average. I had a large dimple on my right cheek and a perfect smile thanks to my 3 years in braces as a teenager. I wasn’t a skinny twig and although I didn’t always love my body, I had grown very comfortable with my curves and size- with the exception of my chest. I have always had large boobs, which as a teenager I hated, but as an adult- I love. I can always get the attention I need, when I need it and it helped my confidence sky rocket in adulthood.

It was a rather warm day in September. The weather usually went cold rather quickly at this point in the year, so for it to be in the 80’s, It felt absurdly hot and I had not dressed appropriately for that. Today I sported some black slacks and a long sleeve green silky button up blouse that I was certain I would sweat through.
I knew today was going to be a long day. Blake and I were working to close on a large potential client. When it got down to the end of the deal like this, we liked to wheel and deal together. Blake always told me he liked me to join these pre-close meetings because of my energetic personality, but I knew it was really because the clients usually found me attractive and liked the thought of continuing conversations with me after we closed.
I purposefully wore my shirt with the top several buttons undone today. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t begin my career this way. I worked very hard to get my degree and earn my status at this company, but I enjoyed when the boys gawked at me, and it certainly didn’t hurt my career. So, I chose to accept that and use it to my advantage. Within reason of course.
I walked into the office to see Blake in a gray suit seated next to Mr. Gordon Fisher. He is the big fish, client we are trying to snag. Mr. Fisher, although only in his mid 30s had a rather large beer guy and receding hair line, making him look like he was much older than he actually was.
This deal would lead to a very large payout for Blake and myself and so we had spent the last several days strategizing this meeting. Blake would meet with him first today to review and finalize numbers and I would walk in towards the end to assist in persuading Mr. Fisher to hopefully seal the deal.
Things seemed to be going according to plan because Mr. Fisher didn’t look into my eyes once and he laughed at every word that had come out of my mouth, even though nothing I said was funny.
“Well, Mr. Fisher, I see us being perfect partners and love the idea of working closely with you and your team. If we get things buttoned up today, I can be out to your office next week to begin your team training and alignment. How does that sound?” I asked with a large smile.
Mr. Fisher chuckled and stated - “oh that sounds just lovely Emma, as long as your also up to me showing you around the city. I have a very nice penthouse I’m sure you would enjoy. You’re welcome to stay with me there if you would like so you don’t have to pay for travel expenses ”. He then winked at me. My skin crawled a little. I loved getting men’s attention, but occasionally I got a weird feeling from some of the men who threw attention my way.
I quickly glanced at Blake whose eyes went large and mouth slightly fell open as if he was going to say something. I quickly jumped in to keep Blake from saying something he would regret or that would kill the deal.
“I certainly appreciate the offer Mr. Fisher, but I don’t think your wife would be as pleased with your generous offer. Besides, Blake will also be traveling with me, and you know the saying, threes a crowd” I winked at Mr. Fisher and smiled despite my stomach turning slightly. Blake didn’t normally travel with me, but I didn’t think he would mind too much considering how big of a deal this was and how delicate the situation felt.
Blake cleared his throat and then said, “Yes, Em and I have a group rate at the Hilton around the corner. So we will be well taken care of. So, what do you say Mr. Fisher, should we finish this up?”
Mr. Fishers face turned slightly red and for the first time he stopped looking at my chest and instead looked at his feet. “Yes, yes” he grumbled, “let’s get this signed”
