Page 2 of Tap In

After I was given permission, I closed the door and sat down in the chair in front of his desk. I spoke. “Mr. Broughton, the duties of this job seem to be morphing into more of a personal assistant than an executive. For Marla, yes, it’s clear that she needs an executive assistant, but you seem to need a mix of both. Am I correct with my assessment?”

He gazed at me for a moment before he sat back in his seat. “When I think about it, your assessment is correct. I do need a mix of the two. Is that a problem, Ms. Hunter? If it is, let me know so we can make other arrangements.”

This man really thinks he has me in a corner. Watch me work, goofy!“That is not a problem at all, Mr. Broughton. With the update to my job duties, I would like to make an amendment to my employment contract. Per section 8b, we both have ninety days to make amendments as needed.”

He tittered, then asked, “What amendments would you like to make at this time?”

“Seeing as there may be times that you will need me after-hours for task which require you to have pretty much open access to me, I would like an additional fifteen thousand added to my salary. I would also like to be issued a company vehicle to utilize in the happenstance that there are deliverables that need to be completed that would require me to travel by vehicle. Based on our interactions today, something tells me that you are a bit needy. I want to ensure that I am compensated appropriately.” Mr. Broughton wasn’t messing with a short stop. If he wasn’t willing to meet the terms of my amendment, I would in fact resign.

He sat there silently as he gawked at me. After what felt like the most intense stare down of my life, a smirk appeared on his handsome face.Get yourself together, Lark.He leaned forward to press the intercom button. Marla’s voice came through the speaker, and he asked her to come to his office.

It took Marla less than a minute to come into the office. “Hey, is everything alright?” I wanted to chuckle at the nervousness that sat on her face.

“Everything is fine. Can you pull Ms. Hunter’s employment contract and make the following amendments. Please add twenty thousand dollars to her yearly salary. Issue her a company cell phone, a credit card, and reach out to Cedric to have him get me a Range. Charge it to the business account.” His eyes didn’t leave me as he spit out instructions.

When I peeked up at Marla, her light skin blushed over with her eyelids stretched wide. “Oh, okay. I’ll do that.”

After she told me to stop by her office on my way out to sign my amended contract and get my phone and credit card, she left. I kept my poker face on because I wasn’t sure what this man’s angle was.

“Ms. Hunter, I added an extra five thousand to your request because you are correct. I’m needy as fuck, but you should know that.” The dip in his eyebrow was sexy. “I also want to make sure that you are adequately compensated. You will have a sixty-dollar daily stipend for things such as lunch. Are these changes amenable for you?”

There was something about this that seemed like a damn trap.Needy as fuck. He was right. I did know in more ways than one. I moved to Charleston for a new start and a little adventure. This could be just what I was looking for. “Those changes are great.” I stood to my feet, stepped closer to his desk, and extended my hand.

When he stood, my eyes betrayed me when they fell to his crotch. My brow rose at the hardened dick that he was in no way trying to conceal.Sexual harassment is unwelcomed sexual advances, asking for sexual favors or other physical and verbal acts of a sexual nature.It was understood in that moment, in my spirit, that nothing about what he did and was doing was unwelcomed. I felt ashamed to say that Chance had been an asshole to me all day, but if he told me to drop to my knees right now and eat his dick, I’d do it with vigor and excellence. I’d suck his dick and call him an asshole when I rose from my knees with cum still on the corners of my mouth. Something about this man made me want to be sexually bold.

“It was nice negotiating with you, Ms. Hunter. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He released my hand, then sat back into his seat.

I snickered when he went back to whatever he was doing before I came into the office. “Rude ass,” I mumbled before I turned on my heels to leave the office.

I took the short steps to Marla’s office. Her door was open as well. Travis sat on the couch that was against the wall. He told me to close the door. “Lark, what’s up? You’re blackmailing him or some shit? You can tell us.”

I hollered. “What! No, I’m not blackmailing that man. When I noticed that he wanted more of a personal assistant, I asked for an amendment to my contract. That’s it. Negotiation is one of my stronger skills.”

“Ma’am, I need to take your picture and put you on the wall in the lobby. You are damn sure a different breed.” Marla leaned forward on her desk. “Lark, you are the fifth assistant that I have hired in six months. You have checked a man that most think is uncheckable. Not sure what it is, but I like it.”

We talked while she got me to sign my amended contract and issued me the items that I needed. She told me to use the credit card to catch a rideshare to work tomorrow. My company vehicle would be here in the morning. I had always wanted a Range. Nothing like driving on someone else’s dime.

After I got what I needed, Marla told me that I could head out for the day. She didn’t have to tell me twice. I went to my office, filed the deposit slips, grabbed my stuff, and was out the door. Now it was time for me to get my wine, make my snacks, and sit on a bitch’s porch.

* * *

I sat on the porch with my wine and my charcuterie board on the table next to me. I was showered, refreshed, and relaxed. Jacobia’s dental practice closed at seven. She took normal patients until four. The last three hours, she took people without dental insurance. It was seven thirty, so I expected her at any moment.

By the time that I finished the glass I was on and poured a new glass, Jacobia pulled in the yard. When she climbed out of her car, her facial expression told me that she knew that I would be ready to go in her ass. She took longer than I knew she usually did to get stuff out of her car, or pretended to. When she finally got to the porch, she didn’t have anything more than she usually did.

“Hey, how was your first day at work?” The joking smile displayed on her face made me want to slap the hell out of her.

I let her sit in the seat on the other side of the table. There was a glass there for her, so I poured some wine into it. She took a sip and got comfortable.

“I find it funny that I walked into work today and was blindsided by finding out my boss is the same man that I’d been asking you for information on. Jacobia, there is no way that you can make me believe that you didn’t know Numen was Chance.” I took a sip of my wine.

Her chest rose and fell. “I completely understand why you are upset. Yes, I knew who he was when he approached you at the party. He didn’t know who you were at all since Marla does the hiring. After that, I didn’t tell you because I knew you would try to back out of working there.”

“You damn right I would have backed out. That man has fucked me in every applicable hole on my body. He fucked me so damn stupendously that I couldn’t take it. Walking into my job and finding out the man I let fuck me to oblivion at a sex party was not the embarrassing part. The embarrassing part was knowing that I tapped out.” My face was tight as hell.

Jacobia stared at me for a beat before she erupted into laughter. Her hands waved in the air. “Wait, wait! Sorry! I don’t mean to laugh.” She said that but still laughed harder than she should have been. “Lark, just get your money, sis! If you want to fuck him again until you don’t tap out, then do that.”

“You say that so casually like it’s nothing, bitch,” I said before I rolled my eyes. “I’m going to get my money. Matter of fact, my pay was increased by twenty K, I was given a cell phone, credit card, and my company Range will be parked in front of the office in the morning.” I stood from my seat. “Have yourself a snack. I’m going to watch a movie.”
