Once I was safely back to the server room, I scrutinized the figures closely. It took me a while to fully comprehend the numbers, but when I did, a wide grin crept across my face. “Oh goodness… the team actually kept tabs of the bribes they gave to the purchasing officers!” I smirked. The list detailed clearly the amount and receiving parties’ bank accounts, as well as the invoices of the sales the bribes made possible. The amount was transferred from various bank accounts, so it is possible that the entire team was involved in the scheme. Still it doesn’t make sense to record such information, unless the members needed the information for reimbursement. Regardless of the reason, my heart was pounding just thinking of the implication of such incriminating information.
I knew that the team would definitely realize they were missing some prints, and that I had taken them since Frey spotted me heading to the copier. Concerned that they would barge in and demand the documents from me, I carefully slotted the prints between the server racks and sat back in my chair, waiting for the door to burst open and for them to rush in.
But it never happened… morning came and colleagues started streaming into the work place. I completed the software patching by 5am and was just testing the network since then. I locked the server room, leaving the prints inside because I did not want to be caught with them. I had not decided what to do with the evidence, but I reckoned it would be the right thing to hand them over to the management. I handed the keys back to my colleagues, before heading home for some well-deserved rest.
It was 4 pm when my mobile phone rang. I was still groggy from trying to catch up on my sleep after pulling yesterday’s all-nighter. I clumsily reached out for my phone and checked the screen - it was an unlisted number. Feeling miffed that it could be an unsolicited sales call, I took the call preparing to give the other party an earful.
“Who’s this?” I asked. “Hey Ben, it’s Claire from work!” the cheery voice replied.
“Claire?” I asked. “Yes! From Queenie’s team… you know me, don’t you?” she said.
Suddenly I remembered the prints I kept from the night before, and that must be the reason why she called. “Oh yes,” I said, trying to play it cool. “What’s up?”
Claire made up some stupid excuse about needing to check some technical issues about her computer, but any darn fool would know she was actually trying to find out if I had the documents. “Uh… listen Claire, I’m not technically on duty now. So if you need to troubleshoot, you can pop by the IT department with your notebook and I’m sure they’ll help you out ok?”
“Oh I see,” she answered in a voice feigning disappointment. “I was hoping you could help because you seem to be the most knowledgeable.”
I could see why Queenie hired her. “I’m on night duty later in the server room from 10pm to 8am. If you are still around, just come by and I’ll see what I can do for you.” I replied.
“Will do, Ben! Thank you and I’ll see you later!” Claire chirped over the phone before hanging up. I leaned back on my pillow, closed my eyes and thought to myself – a date with the sex-assassin… it would be a night to remember!
Thank you all for your positive feedback. I apologize for the long lead-up, but I wanted to write an erotic story with character development instead of those short ones you usually see elsewhere. It’s always sexier when you know more about the ladies you’re making love to, which is why we fantasize more about our friends and colleagues than freelancers we know little about!
But your patience will be duly rewarded because the sexciting parts are coming next!
I arrived slightly before 10 pm, and unlocked the server room. The documents are still hidden where I had left them, and I quickly scanned them with a portable scanner into my computer. It was too risky to make copies on a copier as I didn’t want to handle hard copies, and digital copiers can retain scanned images of the documents I photocopied. I uploaded the scanned images to my cloud storage, and continued working on some upgrades to the server software.
15 minutes later, there was a knock and Claire walked through the door. She was wearing a short tight white skirt that showed off her silky long legs, and an off-shoulder blouse that revealed her smooth skin and perfect shoulders. The scent of her sweet perfume immediately permeated the cold air in the server room as she walked in, with the silence broken by the clicking of her heels.
“Hi Ben! So glad that you’re around to help me out!” She gave me the brightest smile she could muster, showing off her perfect teeth framed by impossibly luscious lips. She was the picture of a goddess, perfect in every way that a man could have wanted. It took all the restrain I had to hide my desires and hard-on when such a ravishing beauty is alone with me in the server room. I knew I had to stay in control if I want to go further.
“Hi Claire… how can I help?” I leaned back in my seat, casually trying to play it cool. Claire explained that her notebook seems to crash intermittently when opening certain documents, and she moved forward to set her notebook in front of me, deliberately leaning into me and brushing my face with her soft trusses. She smelled really good, and my heart was literally pounding out of my chest when her soft D-cupped breasts brushed across my shoulders.
Claire took a seat beside me and crossed her legs, revealing more of her silky white thighs. “It’s so frustrating that this is happening Ben,” she said. “I lose a lot of work when the computer crashes, and it is important that we get this fixed.” I was partially mesmerised by her small glossy lips illuminated by the bluish tint of her notebook screen, like how the angler fish dangles its lure to attract its prey into their jaws of death.
“Well… I’m not sure if I can help you Claire,” I replied with a coolness that surprised even myself. “It takes a lot of work to determine what the problem is.” And at that moment, Claire knew she had to turn up the heat in the cold server room. She looked directly at me with her doe-like eyes, and placed her small soft hand on my thigh. “I know you can help me Ben. I heard that you’re the best. I just lost the soft copy of an important spreadsheet when it crashed last night, and I can’t seem to find the document I printed before it crashed. Do you know how I can get it back Ben?” she whispered as she stroked my thigh.
I nearly creamed myself as she ran her hands along my pants. Claire truly lives up to her well-deserved reputation as the “sex-assassin” with her killer charms. Unfortunately for her, I knew how important this document is for her team, and her attempts to seduce me simply reinforced my instincts about how damning it can be for them if the document falls in the wrong hands. In short, I knew I had a trump card on my hands, and it was going to take a lot more than thigh-stroking from Claire to retrieve the evidence.
“I appreciate your confidence in me, but I’m just a IT manager Claire. I may be able to help you with your computer, but to recover a lost document is going to take a whole lot of effort from you and me,” I hinted subtly. “How important is this document to you, and how much effort are you willing to put in to get it back?” I asked without missing a beat.
Claire looked demonstrably concerned at this point, probably because she understood that I knew the contents of the document, and presumably she comprehended that I was not going to return her the prints unless she gave me what I wanted.
She probably guessed what I wanted, and she didn’t like it one bit.
“The document is important to me,” she said with a slight frown. “I really need to get it back. I don’t want to get outside help to retrieve it because it has confidential company figures. I know that it is not your job to recover the document for me, but I’m willing to pay you handsomely if you can get it back.”
What a dilemma for me. Financially even though I’m drawing a reasonable salary, getting a big payment from Claire will help pay off a huge chunk of my loans. That would be a big relief, but would it be as stimulating as a relief on my manhood? I could always make money elsewhere, but an opportunity to bed a goddess like Claire will not happen every day.
I reached for her hand on my thigh and moved it further up, “Money can’t solve the problem Claire. It is not an easy task, and we have to come together to make it work. Do you understand?” I was beside myself with glee for coming up with such a clever answer with so much innuendo.
Claire opened up her eyes wide and withdrew her hands in shock. She must have thought that she could come in and sweet-talk me in handing over the document. Never did she expect that I will be asking her to pay a much higher price for the document. She was used to dealing with CEOs and other high flying executives, and the thought of having to seduce a lowly IT manager was probably too much for her.
There was silence in the air as Claire sat in her chair, pondering over her choices. As much as she hated the thought of having to deal with me, she knew that the fate of her team rests in her hands. She asked in a defeated tone, “How much work do we have to put in to recover the missing document?”
I wanted very much to punch the air in excitement when I heard that, but I knew that I had to be play it really cool. She was the prize that every guy in the company lusted after, and I cannot even guess how many male colleagues screwed their significant other while imagining they are doing Claire. I could not even believe this was really happening for me right now.
“If the document is really important, we should get on it right away,” I replied as I pulled her chair towards me. She took a sharp breath and turned her face away, still in disbelief that she needed to cut a deal with me. I knew I needed to make sure she knows who’s in charge, so I held her by the chin and turned her face towards me, “I need to know you’re fully committed to this, and that you will do exactly as I say in order to make this work.”
Claire looked down at the floor, bit her lower lips and whispered, “ok.” I sighed, “I’m disappointed Claire. That doesn’t sound very committed… I’m putting in so much work to help you without payment. If you are not going to be proactive and happy, I don’t think this is going to work out.”
Claire took a moment to take that all in, and when she finally looked up, she smiled at me and said, “You’re right Ben. I’m grateful that you’re helping me with this. I’m fully committed to this and I will do exactly as you say.”
With that, I knew I hit the sex jackpot. Very calmly, I stood up and walked to the server room door to lock it, even though I knew it is highly unlikely that anyone will come in at this time of the night. I turned around to take in the sight of Claire already on both knees waiting for me. I could hardly believe that I have this incredible seductress that every hot-blooded male in the company had lusted after to do everything that I ever fantasized about her.
