I shake his hand whole-heartedly and laugh, bidding him a good night. Secretly, I hope this plan works. And I hope my talk with Jeff ends the affinity he has for Lily.
With a woman like that, who could end such a lusty affection?
Twenty-Four
David
Seeing that I have about an hour before I go in, I rehearse what I’m going to say to Jeff in my head over a lonely cup of coffee. Staring into the mug of the dark liquid as I sit at my kitchen table, I decide it has to be short, honest, and possibly a bit fearful for the slimeball.
Mulling it over, I know that I have to maintain a business-like demeanor. But if it were street talk, I’d rough him up, making sure that he understood my meaning, thereby leaving Lily the fuck alone.
And that includes following her home and spying on her. James and I aren’t sure that he did this, but we do know he has maintained a habit of seeing and talking to her daily. He also needs to know that this is considered sexual harassment and that he could be fired, brought up on charges and jailed for such behavior.
No way to know that for certain until Lily has another complaint.
I down the coffee which helps to steel my nerves and head out the door to the office. As I drive the distance to the office, I try to come up with all of the scenarios in which Jeff could use as an excuse.
As I pull into the lot, I feel I have a good handle on anything that Jeff can throw at me. I’m more than ready to have this conversation with the slimy asshole.
Basically it boils down to, stay the fuck away from her.
You have no idea how bad I want to shout that at him over the fists that land in his face. Then I’d go to jail for assault. Tame it back, Tiger. Your anger is warranted, but not the behavior that you envision.
If only other men had that same voice of reason in their heads before clobbering someone else.
I get inside and tell Lily to get Jeff for me. I can hear her paging him as I walk into the confines of my office. A few minutes later, Jeff darkens my doorway.
“Come in,” I say and offer him a seat in front of me. His eyes are bewildered and he seems nervous as he takes the chair. “It’s come to our attention that someone isn’t in need of your presence and commentary on their appearance.”
“W-who might that be?” he asks timidly.
“Just stay away from Lily, okay? And nothing will come of it. At present she can press charges against you and us for sexual harassment. You are making her uncomfortable in this environment.”
“I’m only trying to be nice and make her feel at home, Mr. Jackson,” he says.
“While I can understand your sentiments, you are making her uncomfortable in her work environment and truthfully, you have no reason to even have contact with her.”
“I don’t mean any harm,” Jeff counters.
“Maybe so, but if you continue to make her uncomfortable, you leave us no choice but to fire you,” I say and then add more sternly, “Do you understand this?” I hand him a form that he needed to sign saying that we had this conversation. “Please sign this and go back to your duties.”
After signing the form, Jeff sulks away, hanging his head. I decide to inform James of the conversation with Jeff and go to his office.
As I pass through the office, I see that James has his window shade down and the door is just barely ajar. Tapping lightly on the door, I hear some shuffling and finally, he says exasperatedly, “Come in, but don’t turn the lights on.”
Stepping inside, I close the door behind me and turn into the dimly lit office. The only light is coming from James’s antique desk lamp. He is sprawled out on his couch with an arm over his eyes. “Are you okay?” I ask him warily.
“Yes,” he replies, “And no.” James sits up on the edge of the sofa and runs his hands through his dark hair, sighing.
Taking a seat next to him, my thigh inadvertently touches his as he continues to tell me what the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ are about. “Yes, because I know we have a plan of action, but no because I can’t seem to find any answers yet. It’s really kicking my ass.”
“Don’t worry,” I try to reassure him, but the leg that is touching James leg is sending jolts of electricity into my danger zone, causing me to become erect. I look at James crotch and notice that his dick is hard inside his pants.
“I came into tell you that I spoke to Jeff and had him sign an official warning regarding sexual harassment,” I swallow hard after saying that as the chemistry grows thick in the room.
James looks over to me and I can see the fire in his eyes. “Thanks for letting me know.”
He reaches for my dick and I rub the outside of his, making each of us get harder quicker. Laying back on the couch, we undo our pants and allow our dicks to stand at attention.
