Harem House - Selene Pt. 19

Master: I have work, class, and a late lunch today.

Slut: It doesn't have to be for long. I just want to see you before tonight. I miss you.

Master: I miss you too. I'll let you know. I might have a few minutes in between classes.

Slut: Enough minutes to pull me into a bathroom stall?

Master: Lol.

Slut: ...

Slut: Please, Master? I'll be the quickest quickie ever.

Master: We'll see. Keep your phone on you.

Slut: Thank you, Master. Enjoy your shower. Please think of me!

She sent him a picture of herself, a naked selfie with one arm holding the phone out ahead of her and the other arm twisted behind her back, forcing her tits up and toward the camera. Arthur hadn't jacked himself off in a while, but he was hard in the shower and seriously thought about it. Still, something told him he should save it up for her when he saw her next, so he turned the water cold to get through it, which solved his problem and cooled him off from the workout too.

He arrived at the office a few minutes early, dressed in his suit, to see Beth hovering by his desk as if waiting for him. He looked at her quizzically as if to ask what was up while he started his computer.

"Good morning." Beth said. "Is Mindy with you?"

"No." Arthur shook his head and glanced at Mindy's desk. She wasn't there, but he knew that already by her question. "Why? Did you need her for something?"

"Yes. Can you note when she gets here and let me know?" Beth asked. "She's been late a lot recently."

Arthur nodded. "Yeah, I talked to her about that, she's working on improving. You want me to text her and make sure she's on time?"

Beth shook her head. "No, that won't be necessary." She glanced at Arthur, and looked like she was about to say something, but Mindy's arrival interrupted them.

They wore similar outfits today by accident. Beth was in a respectable fall-colored maroon sweater dress. It hung loosely on her, cinched by a wide black belt around her waist. Otherwise, it was utterly respectable, covering everything from the scooped neckline that didn't show any cleavage all the way to the knees without being too suggestive of her tall figure. At 5'10", she was taller than most women but still shorter than Arthur. He didn't habitually check out his boss, but the tall black boots she wore with the dress were attention-grabbing, given the number of laces on her long calves.

Mindy, by contrast, had worn a gray sweater dress that stretched over every divet and curve of her body and seemed to threaten to stretch into sheer fabric if she moved the wrong way. It was also open-necked at the top, but with a plunging neckline that showed off the long line of her cleavage and the dress was much shorter than Beth's, coming to mid-thigh whenever Mindy tugged it down. Her long tan skin was on display for most of her legs until the strappy black heels she wore on her feet.

"Good morning, Boss!" Mindy said as she came in, potentially greeting both of them though Arthur knew by her smile which one she'd intended to greet.

"Morning." Beth replied as she glanced between Arthur and Mindy, who came to stand beside Arthur's desk.

"Good morning." Arthur gave her a slight smirk. "A few minutes early today, I see."

"I didn't want to be late again, so I set my alarm a few minutes early." Mindy explained. She smiled at Beth, who didn't smile back but nodded to them both and made her exit. She closed her office door behind her.

"What's up with her?" Mindy asked.

Arthur shook his head. "I think she hoped to catch you coming in late. She asked if you were with me when I showed up."

"Is she trying to fire me?" Mindy asked, alarmed. "Can she do that?"

"I mean... yeah. She's our boss." Arthur said. "I don't think she will, though."

Mindy moved to her desk, put her stuff down, and turned on her computer before returning to Arthur's desk. "Please don't let her fire me, Boss." She said as she sat on the edge of Arthur's desk, her legs together but not crossed as her skirt rode up a little. "I really need this job." She said as she leaned toward him. "You've got some pull with her, right?" Mindy asked. "I'll do anything if you can get her to change her mind."

"Mindy..." Arthur warned.

"Anything." Mindy promised in a voice that was just as suggestive as any line at the start of a porno.

"She's in her office, and people come and go through here all the time when it's not lunch..." Arthur warned her. "Behave." He pointed toward her desk.

Mindy pouted. "Is it my outfit?" She asked. "Do you not like it?" She pulled at the neckline a little as she leaned over, giving Arthur an eyeful of the top of her breasts and showing off the transparent, white, lacy bra she wore beneath it. He could see the top of the dark nipple as she held her fingers curled against it, pulling down her neckline.

Arthur bit his lip as he took a deep breath and tried convincing himself that this was a bad idea. Anyone could walk through the door behind him without warning, and Beth could quickly return at any time.

"I can take it off if you don't like it." Mindy offered breathily.

Arthur's eyes flicked behind her to Beth's office door. Her shades were down and closed, but he knew she was in there. The door behind him was also unlocked. Other student workers could come in, or people from the other offices might need to use some of their supplies. There were a lot of reasons not to play at work, but at the moment, all he wanted to do was tell Mindy to get under his desk and pull that sweater dress down the rest of the way.

"Well, Boss?" Mindy asked. "What do you want?"

Arthur took a deep breath in.

"We could always go to the storage closet." She suggested in a whisper.

Arthur shook his head. "No." He said firmly. "We have work to do. Now get to your desk and get to work. We'll discuss your insubordination while everyone else is at lunch."

Mindy looked surprised and pouted when he said no, but the pout quickly turned into a smirk when he mentioned lunch. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, they covered the typical lunch hour in the office and took a later lunch themselves. It was always a ghost town, and despite Mindy's many hints and flirtations, she'd never gotten him to make a move on her during their time alone in the office before last Monday. Things were different now, and she smiled at him as she let go of her neckline and sat straight on his desk.

"Yes, Boss." She said demurely as she stood up and walked around his desk, giving him something to look at by putting extra sway in her hips as she made a show of walking over to her desk, pouting, and plopping into her chair.

Arthur relaxed little, willing the erection threatening to break his trousers away by sheer force of will. Though, Mindy's walk didn't help things.

"Arthur?" Beth's voice called from the doorway. He looked up to see her standing in her now open office doorway and looking at him from across the room.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Can I see you in here for a moment?" She beckoned.

"Uh..." Arthur hesitated, his erection still present and noticeable if he stood up in these slacks. "Be right there."

"Now, please." Beth said. She wasn't being mean, but she clearly wanted to speak with him, and she wasn't going to take no for an answer.

Arthur nodded. "Yup. Coming." Arthur said, not moving.

Beth sighed and started tapping her foot in the doorway, waiting for Arthur to get up and getting frustrated that he wasn't listening to her. Their recent arrangement after their misunderstanding had given Arthur the freedom to do things his way in the office, but clearly, she felt that he was using that to not have to listen to her, and she didn't like it.

"I said now." She reminded him.

Arthur sighed, glared at Mindy, who was doing her best to look innocent, and then he stood up from his desk and walked over toward Beth.

Mindy and Beth blushed, Mindy's darker complexion darkening even further and Beth's pale face turning pink before she turned away and walked back into her office.

Arthur glared at Mindy as she looked over her shoulder at him and gave him a mischievous wink. He walked into Beth's office, shutting the door behind him out of habit, sat in one of the two chairs in front of her desk, and crossed his legs.

Beth raised her eyes to his from her seat behind her desk and did her best to sit tall, with her back straight. Silence reigned between them as if both were waiting for the other to speak.

"Sorry about that." Arthur broke first. "I uh... I was going to try to wait it out, but..."

Beth's cheeks turned pink again, and she looked away from him. "It's alright." She said. "Nothing I haven't seen before."

Arthur scoffed a little. That much was true. She'd seen more than that when he ended up being the stripper for her sister's bachelorette party. That had led them to their little misunderstanding Monday when Beth thought he was blackmailing her for sexual favors, like something out of a porno or bodice ripper. He'd corrected her misunderstanding, but things had been awkward since, and clearly, they were about to become uncomfortable again.

"I wanted to apologize for the other day." Beth said, "It was inappropriate of me, and I thought..." She hesitated. "I thought worse of you than you deserved." She smiled slightly.

Arthur nodded. "It's okay." He assured her. "As I said, we don't even need to talk about it, or Saturday night, ever again. On Monday, though, I wasn't offended or anything. I was actually flattered."

"Flattered?" Beth asked, surprised.

"Well, it seemed like you wanted it to be true." Arthur pointed out. "Like it was a fantasy of yours or something, and you cast me as whatever sexy bad-boy villain you had cooked up." He knew he was teasing her more than he should, but he wanted to try and lighten the mood with a joke. Unfortunately, his words seemed to have the opposite effect.

Beth's cheeks turned from the fading pink blush to a scarlet red that choked the words out of her mouth. Her grip tightened on her skirt in her lap, and she turned away from him for a moment, coughing to try and excuse the blush.

She was older than him by about ten years if he had to guess, and even if her body was a little thicker in places with a few more signs of age, she still took care of herself. She had long, well-shaped legs that she hid behind long skirts and dresses. Her upper half tapered from the waist to a wide set of singer's ribs with a respectable but not oversized bust.

Arthur saw through her little charade of embarrassment. Or at least, he hoped it was her reacting the way she thought she should when she really wanted something she knew she shouldn't. Maybe all the attention from his harem was going to his head, but he was starting to think he was blessed. Obviously, Beth liked what she saw last Saturday and was attracted to him. That created a problem for her because he worked for her here in the office, and that kind of thing was downright forbidden.

He and Mindy could get away with it so long as no one caught them doing anything on the clock because they were technically equals, but even then, it was frowned upon. Beth? Beth was his direct superior, and the situation had been awkward since they'd last discussed it. This time, Arthur hoped to be straightforward and cut through all the misunderstandings and awkwardness.

"I-" Beth hesitated. "I will admit, I think maybe I got a little carried away." She admitted. "I realized, going over it since we last talked, that you didn't intend to suggest you had pictures or were intending to blackmail me. And maybe I got a little flustered."

"Is it a fantasy of yours?" Arthur asked curiously.

"That's none of your business." Beth answered, her face pink again, calming down from the red.

Arthur smirked and shook his head. She was right, of course. What she fantasized about was her business, not his. And he had five girlfriends already who were keeping him more than busy. He didn't need to add Beth to his list of women who wanted to play out their fantasies with him. He realized that's what most of his girlfriends were doing. He was safe, and they trusted him, so they played out their fantasies with him. They tried new things they wanted to try without fear of judgment. He couldn't begrudge them that since it let him play out his fantasies too. He truly lived a blessed life.

"Why are you smiling?" Beth asked.

Arthur hadn't realized he was, but he straightened up and shook his head. "Sorry." He said. "Just thinking about something else for a second there." He admitted. "But it's okay. I accept your apology." He nodded. "We don't need to be awkward anymore, do we?"

Beth smiled softly. "No, I suppose not." She said. "And you didn't tell anyone about our... misunderstanding?"

Arthur shook his head. "No." He assured her. "I have a few secrets I can keep." He smirked.

"Good." Beth breathed a sigh of relief, and silence fell between them again until Arthur looked around and started to get up.

"Was that all?" He asked as he started to rise.

"One more thing." Beth said, raising her hand so that he sat back down. "My Aunt, the organizer for my sister's bachelorette party, really wants your number."

Arthur looked surprised. "Uh..." He hesitated. "For another party?"

Beth nodded. "Are you... doing that part-time? Or..." She hesitated.

Arthur laughed. The cash was good. Like, a week's pay for a few hours of work is good, and that didn't even consider the tips. He could use the extra money to pay for things for his girls, but it wasn't the kind of work he imagined himself doing long-term. Still, he was young, fit, healthy, and it let him perform in a way that spoke to him as a theater guy. It wasn't a repulsive idea, but at the same time, it didn't seem like a good idea either. How would it affect his future in the business world? If people found out, would it cancel any hopes he had of a career? Did he really need to do it?

"You told them I worked for you?" Arthur asked cautiously.

Beth shook her head. "I told them I'd seen you around campus. That I knew you worked in the admin building." She admitted. "I... might have left out that you worked for me."

"Keeping me your dirty little secret?" Arthur joked, but judging Beth's flushed expression, he wasn't that far off the mark. "Sorry, that was inappropriate." Arthur offered a small and sheepish apology.

"No. I wasn't." Beth said determinedly. "I just didn't want my sister to call off her wedding over you."

Arthur's eyebrows rose to the ceiling like Beth had them at gunpoint.

"She didn't know that dicks came in your size." Beth explained. "Apparently, her fiance is rather small and... not great in bed. She thinks you're hot, but you did the right thing when you turned her down last Saturday."

Arthur's smile faded a little, but he nodded.

"And don't get any ideas that I will give her your number." Beth said firmly.

Arthur raised his hands in surrender. "Didn't even think to ask for it." He said honestly. "Your sister is cute, but I'm not looking to break anyone up, and... well, we should probably change the subject." He suggested, and Beth seized the opportunity to take him up on it.

"About our arrangement..." Beth started.

Arthur looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"The one where I get more of a say in the office?" Arthur asked.

Beth nodded. "Yes. I... I realized you're right. A little. You do a lot here in the office, and I thought we should make it official so that it's not such an upset to the balance of the office."

"Make what official?" Arthur asked.

"I've been permitted to hire you as a student worker supervisor." Beth informed him. "Which is pretty much what you've been doing anyway, except now you get the title."

"And a raise?" Arthur asked hopefully.

"And a small raise." Beth answered. "It's not much, but it beats what you've been making."

Arthur nodded, understanding. The school wasn't going to pay him more than it had to, and as it was, they knew they didn't have to. It did make him feel a little guilty, though. He wouldn't need this one if things worked out with his new job, being the maintenance guy at his parent's house. At least he wouldn't need so many hours. It felt a little dishonest not to warn her that he might be leaving soon, but Arthur decided to keep his mouth shut in case things fell through. He didn't expect them to, but playing it safe rather than sorry was always better.

"Congratulations." Beth said with a firm nod.

"Thank you." Arthur said, still mulling it over as he realized the implications. He really was Mindy's boss now. Mindy would love that. HR would not. Should he mention it to Beth? Should he talk to HR? He wasn't sure.

"You don't seem happy." Beth pointed out when she saw the lack of smile on Arthur's face. He looked more worried than happy. "You don't need to worry; it won't change things between you and me. I'm still your boss, and things will continue as they have been."

Arthur nodded. "Good." He said with a slight smile now that she'd pointed it out. "I guess I'm just a little surprised. I thought for sure after Monday that you were mad at me."

Beth nodded. "I was." She explained. "I thought about firing you, about... punishing you, giving you all the crap work, that kind of thing. I was embarrassed, more than angry, though, I think." She was blushing pink again, though she didn't seem to notice, and Arthur wouldn't point it out. "The more I went over it, the more I realized you were right and were just saying things I didn't want to hear."

Arthur smiled sheepishly. "I still shouldn't have said it the way I did. I apologize for that, at least. It was rude of me."

"Thank you." Beth answered. "It was a little rude." She agreed with a smile that Arthur returned.

Sensing it was time to get back to work, Arthur stood up and almost laughed when Beth's eyes darted downward. His erection had faded by then, and she looked away immediately when she realized what she'd done.

"Do you have a girlfriend, by the way? Someone, you might want to talk to before scheduling any more appearances with my Aunt?" Beth asked.

Arthur smirked as he headed out the door and back into the main part of the office. "I've got five, actually. I'll run it past them and see what they say."

Beth laughed and waved him on as he left her office, closing the door behind him. He hadn't meant it to sound like a joke, but he couldn't blame her for laughing. No one believed him when he told them he had five girlfriends with a straight face and a normal tone. He wasn't confident he knew how to convey the information. Should he pretend it was a big secret they forced out of him? Should he reveal it with shock and awe somehow? Should he not mention it until people discovered he was dating more than one girl?

Mindy looked over her shoulder at him as he returned to his desk. Ashley, another student worker, was at a desk near Mindy's against Beth's office wall. Arthur sat at his desk and, with a slight smile to Mindy, got to work.

He was only a few minutes in when he got an email. Beth had copied him on her email blast to the office workers announcing his promotion.

"Congrats, Boss." Ashley piped up. "Guess we can call you that to your face now."

"Yeah, congrats, Boss." Mindy piped up, looking over at him with an eyebrow raised. They were both thinking the same thing: how does this impact us? They were, after all, fucking and dating one another before he became her boss. So should they talk to HR? Should one of them be transferred to a different office? Neither of them wanted that to happen, and if anyone looked at their work schedules, they'd take away their hour alone together and ruin their office fun, which would kill Mindy's opportunities to live out her office sex fantasies.

Neither wanted that, but neither could talk about it openly with Ashley there. Both knew that even if they tried to keep it a secret from Beth, it was only a matter of time before the other students found out Mindy was one of Arthur's five girlfriends, if some didn't already know. The word spread around campus in rumors, truths, and speculations even as they sat there, thanks to the altercation between Mindy, Rani, and Sanjay in the Monday night cafeteria.
