Heidi and the Kaiser (4 page)

"Mr. Kaiser," she whispered, her eyes still closed, lost in the sensation, showing him how she had touched herself in the little bathroom, bent over the counter and rubbing herself raw as she thought about him.

She heard the shift of his chair, the sound of his breath. Her fingers moved faster, her nipples grazing the cool surface of the desk as she rocked, her other hand making soft circles over the red, tingling surface of her behind.

"Yes, Heidi," he murmured, and she felt his hand, then, smooth over the other rounded globe of her ass cheek. She gasped and moaned, arching as she rolled her hips to meet his massaging hand. "Do you like that?"

"Yes, Mr. Kaiser." Her thighs trembled as he squeezed and gripped her ass.

Her fingers were moving in a fast, blurry circle, sending her on a tight upward spiral. His hand came down on the red skin there with a smart SLAP, making her gasp and shiver. She moaned when he did it again and then again, his hand covering a larger area, making the tender spots where the belt had fallen on her ass tingle. He rocked her against the desk with the motion of his hand and she couldn't stand it, her pussy throbbing as he spanked her behind into a fiery red mass of flesh. Arching, she felt his hand fall lower, grazing her lips, and she gasped, spreading her thighs.

"Yes," she whispered, feeling his hand slapping her vulva. "Oh god, yes, Mr.

Kaiser!"

The feel of his fingers smacking against the swollen lips of her pussy was too much, and it sent her shivering over the edge, sailing through the waves of her orgasm as she rolled and bucked against his desk. She moaned and spread and went up on her toes with it, rocking back against the force of the hand still spanking her between the legs. She didn't move, she couldn't. She gasped and panted on his desk, her hot cheek pressed to the blotter, stuck there, her fingers still moving slowly in the sticky mess between her thighs.

"Get dressed," he said after a moment and she thought he just might be struggling to keep his breathing under control.

Standing, she found her clothes on the floor, pulling her shirt back on, then her panties and shorts, using his desk for balance. Her ears were ringing with her orgasm, and her bottom was nothing but heat against the seat of her shorts.

"Have a seat, Miss Bauer." He nodded toward the chair on the other side of the desk.

Heidi was shocked to hear him say her last name, realizing he must have looked her up—of course he had. She worked for him, after all. Making her way around the desk, she sat down, wincing when her bottom touched the leather. Her pussy was a mash of pulpy, trembling wetness between her thighs and she squeezed her legs together as if to contain it.

"As I was saying... before your punishment..." He leaned forward in his chair.

Heidi looked at the hand hovering over the white envelope and saw his fingers were glistening.
That's me
, she thought, staring, fascinated. "I would like you to take these materials home and review them."

"Yes, Mr. Kaiser." Heidi reached her own still-wet fingers out, brushing his as she took the envelope. He jerked his hand back as if she had burned him, his eyes dark as he looked at her.

"Nine a.m., Miss Bauer." He stood and reached under his desk and she heard the sound of the door again, unlocking now. "Don't be late."

"Thank you." She stood and picked up her backpack and started toward the door.

She stopped with her hand on the doorknob, looking back at him and adding, "Sir."

He nodded, standing now and leaning his palms on his desk as he watched her.

"Oh, and Heidi," he said as she opened the door. She looked over her shoulder at him, her eyes questioning. "You've made quite a mess of my blotter. We'll have to deal with that tomorrow."

Her breath caught, her ass clenching as she met his eyes. "Yes, sir," she breathed before closing the door behind her.

The rain was coming down in sheets and she could barely see through her windshield, even with the wipers on full blast. The parking structure was nearly full and she had to squeeze her Honda into a too-small space, carefully slipping out so as not to chip Mr. BMW's paint job. The walk to the Kaiser building was short, but it didn't matter, because the rain made quick work of her hair and make-up, soaking her to the skin in a matter of moments.

Umbrella, Heidi,
she admonished herself as she pushed the button for the elevator, wiggling uncomfortably in her rain-soaked attire. She had worn what the dress code requested—a skirt, no lower than 2 inches below the knee, and a blouse and jacket. Pantyhose weren't allowed—stockings were required to be worn, with garters, and heels couldn't be lower than three inches high. No pants, pant suits, trousers or jeans allowed. And definitely no shorts.

The elevator opened at floor forty-eight and Heidi stepped out, staring at the desk in front of her.
My desk.
The clock overhead read 8:35 a.m. She had made sure she left with plenty of time to get here. Mr. Kaiser's office door, to the left, was closed and she didn't know if he was in it. She wanted to go exploring down the other hallway, but thought it best to just sit and wait.

Stashing her purse under the desk, she took out the signed contract and other information she would have to turn in to personnel, smoothing the folds out over the surface. There was a computer and a multi-line phone, the usual pens and various office supplies tucked away in the drawers, she noted, and a huge filing cabinet behind her.

She puttered the minutes away, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach, and was bending a paperclip into shapes when Mr. Kaiser stepped off the elevator. She saw his eyes sweep her, felt the heat of his disapproval, and then his gaze fell to the twisted paperclip in her hands.

"I was just... waiting." She stood, still holding the bent metal form. She held it up, giving him a little smile as she made it dance. "It's a dog."

He nodded, raising his eyebrows. "Delightful. Now, if you're done wasting office supplies, perhaps we can get to work?"

He motioned for her to follow him and she did, waiting while he put down his briefcase and hung his umbrella. His suit was impeccable, dry as a bone, and a
Jon
Green,
Heidi noted, her eyes moving over the lines of his broad shoulders.

"I forgot an umbrella," she admitted as he sat at his desk.

He glanced up at her. "You look like a drowned rat."

She flushed, her hand smoothing her hair. "I know. I'm sorry."

"You should always be prepared, Heidi." He leaned back in his seat, looking over her outfit. "I assume, since you're here, that you have decided to take the job?"

"Yes." She nodded, eager, perching on one of the maroon leather, wing-backed chairs. "I brought my paperwork."

"Good." It was the first smile of his that she had seen today and it thrilled her, although it was brief. "You'll take it down to personnel later today. Fourth floor. I will take you on a tour of the building myself before lunch and get you acquainted with most of the staff."

Heidi looked over her shoulder, noting that he had closed the door. "On this floor... who else is up here?"

"No one." He tented his fingers. "There is a board room down the hall, and several other offices, although they are for training and meeting purposes and are unoccupied most of the time."

"We're the only ones up here then?" She felt her heart skipping in her chest.

He nodded. "I like my privacy."

She watched as he leaned forward in his chair, shrugging his shoulders out of his suit coat. He held it up carefully, nodding to her. "Hang this up in the wardrobe, Heidi."

She came around the desk to retrieve it, letting her fingers linger over his a little longer than normal and the look in his eyes said he noticed.

"I like to be comfortable in the office," he explained as she opened the wardrobe door and took out a wooden hanger. "So I keep several changes of clothes here."

Noting the myriad colors and fabrics of suits and sweaters hanging in the closet, she slipped the suit coat in on the end, next to a large, thick, grey zippered bag similar to the one she had carried in from his car on that first day. It seemed a million years ago, somehow, but her bottom clenched at the sight of it.

"Oh, and those are for you." He leaned forward. "You're a size five, aren't you?"

Heidi stared at him. "Yes."

"Appearances are important." He stood and came around the desk. "You are the first thing people will see when they step off that elevator, and I want you to make the best possible first impression you can." He sighed as he fingered the ends of her still-damp, flattened hair. "So, we'll start with the clothes. Take those home with you tonight."

"That's... very generous of you." Heidi looked from him to the grey bag, now feeling like a little kid at Christmas, waiting for morning.

"No." She saw his jaw tighten. "You will have a great deal expected of you here, Heidi. This isn't an easy job, nor is it a free ride. Do you understand that?"

"Yes." She swallowed and gave him a nod. "Sir."

"No." He smiled then, shaking his head, his eyes moving down her damp blouse.

"You don't understand... yet... but you will.

His cryptic words actually gave her goose bumps and she hugged her arms across her chest, feeling the heat of his big body standing next to hers. He seemed to understand her body language, but he didn't back off. Instead, he moved a little closer, making her tilt her chin way up to meet his eyes.

"Let's get you acquainted with some of your job description, shall we?"

* * * *

Of course, that wasn't entirely true. They had a nice lunch on the top floor, where there was a restaurant that had a view of the entire city. She still had some of her shrimp scampi in the little refrigerator down the hall to eat for a yummy dinner tonight.

And he was quiet now, for the most part, doing something in his office, the door slightly ajar. She could hear him humming.

She had found herself longing for Ty and Lenny and even the girls throughout the day, just to be out on the beach and in the sunshine. There weren't even any windows here in the reception area—she had to look through Mr. Kaiser's door to see the daylight. It was just the newness of it all, and she was sure she would get used to it.

Considering the job paid three times what her last position did—and apparently came with free designer clothing—she wasn't going to complain.

But she wondered about the last secretary, the one he had spoken of. Had she quit? Been fired? Heidi found a black silk scarf tucked way back in the top drawer of her desk that smelled like Chanel No. 5 with the monogram "M" and knew it must be hers.

She was sure that there had been something between her and Mr. Kaiser—just from the funny look she got from the woman in personnel when she handed in her paperwork.

"Heidi?" he called and she jumped, her heart racing.

"Coming, Mr. Kaiser." She slipped her feet back into her heels and made her way toward his office. She stopped in the doorway, seeing him standing by the window, his hands clasped behind his back. "Yes, sir?"

He turned his head toward her, but didn't move from the glass. "Ah. There you are. Come in. Close the door."

Heidi did as she was told, standing between the two wing-backed chairs, waiting.

Today had seemed like such a normal office day, she had almost forgotten the events of yesterday and the day before—but her body remembered. Her bottom was tingling and there was a slow heat beginning to spread through her lower belly, just looking at the way he stood, the way his eyes shifted when the door clicked shut behind her.

"Syracuse, you said?" He strode toward his desk. "Where did you intern?"

She cleared her throat, knowing he must already know, if he had seen her resume. "I was a wardrobe stylist here in New York for the Tommy Hilfiger Merchandise Coordinator."

He chuckled, shaking his head. "Mr. Bourgeois himself."

She flushed. "He's no Kaiser."

"No." His eyes flicked up to hers, moving over her face. "I want you to look at these."

He nodded toward his desk, where there were long rectangular fabric samples laid out over the surface. Heidi hesitated, looking at him and seeing his nod as she reached her hand out for them. The minute her fingers touched them, she sighed, her eyes brightening as she felt each one, immediately beginning to sort.

"What are you doing?" He watched her, his eyes interested.

She looked up, startled. "Oh... just... these over here aren't anywhere near Kaiser quality..."

Pulling out three of the samples, she held them up to the light. "Now, these...

have promise. The finer weight... these are handmade... and imported, I would guess.

Italy?"

"Yes." He smiled. "Tell me something, Heidi... do you weave?"

Dropping the fabric, she stammered at him, her face growing brighter. "I... yes...

sir... since I was a little girl."

"Not so long ago." He sat in his chair and leaned back to look at her. "You haven't had an easy life, have you, Miss Bauer?" She didn't answer him, looking down at her hands, clasped in front of her now, the fabric samples forgotten.

"Heidi," he reminded her. "I asked you a question."

"No, sir." She swallowed

Nodding, he dipped his head, trying to catch her eye, but she refused to look up.

"You have a fantastic eye, and from what I've seen of the portfolio you turned in, you are an excellent designer. It puzzles me, why you didn't start in our export house or manufacturing...?" She felt the question in his words but she didn't answer him, and she was grateful he didn't ask her directly.

He stood, moving toward her. "Well, we do have a minor disciplinary matter to tend to before we leave today, don't we?" Heidi gasped when he swept the samples onto the floor at their feet. She stared at his desk blotter, seeing how wrinkled it was from her cheek resting against it yesterday. Flushing at the memory, she held her breath, watching him.
