Tips appreciated. https://heyallstories.substack.com https://ko-fi.com/heyallstories xxx Imagine this: There's a trendy, modern office staffed mostly by young professionals. Phones beep or vibrate at the same time, employees lucky enough to get a text smile at what they're seeing. You're in the same age bracket, but you didn't get a message. You wonder if there's a secret group chat you're not privy to. You wonder why this stings so much. That's what I'm feeling at the moment. What's baffling is that I pride myself on being the cool 29 year old boss. I encourage people to dress how they want, we have parties, I order catering from hidden gems in the city. We currently have 32 employees and last year we leased this office floor on a commercial building. And that, I think, is why this stings the most, because I've given 32 people awesome jobs and things are happening behind my back. I explain this in a private session with Katt, our newly hired performance coach. In her early 50's, she's the oldest person here, and I value that experience. She considered retiring from the profession but I was able to nab her. The prospect of working with a younger crowd appealed to her. "You're not alone," she says. "People are sensitive to being left out. It doesn't matter if the exclusion was intentional or not. It's part of human nature." "Has anyone here mentioned the same thing? Or have I become psycho?" I notice Katt shift in her seat and purse her lips. True to form, she never breaks, never reveals anything, putting herself back into neutral position. "You're not a psycho. And I'm not at liberty to discuss other employees. What I'll say is that more can be done to create a cohesive environment. If you'd like I can draft a few ideas and email them to you." "Yeah, that'd be great." "Excellent." "How's everything else?" I ask. "Are people happy working here?" "They enjoy working in a lively environment. Everyone is optimistic. Everyone gets to be creative. I must admit, I feel the same way." "You know, hearing that made my day a little brighter. Thank you." "Thank yourself. You should be proud of what you've accomplished." After a hug I leave her office. Back to the bustling sound of a workplace. What I neglect to tell Katt is that I'm fairly sure I know the source of the newfound office cliques. Several months ago I received job applications from three girls who bullied me in high school. When I say bullying, I'm not exaggerating. High school was a nightmare because of them. I was 15 at the time, tall and lanky, very awkward, shy in a goofy way. My eyebrows were also a mess. I didn't make the volleyball team despite my height and that led to their taunts. Passive aggressive tones, wrapped in bow tie smiles. In the cafeteria ketchup or yogurt would be flung at my back, sticking to my long hair. I'd turn around to see them giggling, but no one looking at me. Panic attacks came soon after. That was my life from 15 - 18 years old. Later I'd come to learn that I developed bullying-induced PTSD from these formative moments in my life. A wonderful therapist helped me unpack these feelings and allowed me to heal, but these things never heal completely. I can honestly say that the experience made me a stronger person. Getting bullied does something to a person's psyche. It's a sink or swim type thing. It can ruin you. Or it can make you more resilient because you've already been there and done that. So yeah, it was ironic when I saw their job applications several months ago. Deleting their applications was so fucking tempting -- or the thought of dragging them around multiple job interviews just to reject them was equally delicious -- but I don't believe in revenge. In fact I'm against revenge as a whole. I think it's pointless. Carrying anger around for years and years can do more damage than the initial offense, that's my philosophy. On a more practical note, those girls had the skills I was looking for. Social media personalities with the amount of followers to back it up. They each had around 50-100 thousand followers from documenting their lifestyle as young women navigating professional life. That's why I hired them. Business is business and they bring financial value. They were gracious when I hired them and they apologized privately for what happened in high school. Do I regret my decision? I can honestly say that they've driven the most revenue since being brought on board. They write content, cut videos, and work autonomously. These girls are valuable assets and they know it, so they can get away with whatever they're doing. But I'm human, sometimes I doubt myself. The sound of people typing on their laptops and having conversations is always comforting. The city view surrounds us. Abbey is getting a cup of coffee, she's a zesty 21 year old, the youngest on our team. She's always vocal with her opinions and I need that right now. For the sake of my own sanity, I grab her attention. "Hey, let me ask you a question," I say. "Sure." "Would you hire girls that used to bully you?" "How exactly would that scenario even happen?" "Let's say, you start a business, it grows, and your former bullies apply for jobs." She roars laughing. "Fuck no." "Even if they're useful and drive revenue?" "They can drive revenue up their asses." "Got it." I hang around the office and Greg passes by. He's a 46 year old in charge of our small legal team. As a lawyer, he's level headed, so his advice must be solid. The same question is laid bare for him. He thinks. "Yeah, why not?" he says. "No one is ever the same from high school. People mature. It also depends on the landscape. If they're the best options available, if they can be loyal, then move ahead." "Thanks for the moment of clarity." "Why are you asking? "Just a thought experiment." xxx I run a business that manages social media pages for other businesses. Financial services, that local pizza shop across the street, traditional restaurants, anything... They're good at what they do, but having their social media run properly is a gold mine. That's the service we provide for them. My office is a cozy little place in the corner surrounded by glass walls. We have a panoramic view of the financial district. In front of my glass door is a view of the open-space work area. I want to see my employees, and I want them to see me. In between shooting emails, something catches my eye, and I think I've only caught it because of the recent mood in the office, but Imani is looking at her phone with a wry smile. Normally I'd think nothing of it, but a guy is doing the exact same thing further down. Putting things aside, I leave my office and approach Imani so fast that she's surprised and puts her phone away and smiles. A forced smile. The kind you'd see at school when a student gets caught by the teacher and has to play it cool. "Anything interesting?" I ask. Her eyes are like saucers. "No." "Can I see what's so funny? I noticed someone else got a text at the same time." "Nothing's funny. Sorry, it was a personal thing." Imani takes a deep gulp while looking at me. I know she's mentally praying that this interrogation ends, but something about this enrages me, like I'm being triggered for unprocessed issues I have. And I hate that I'm becoming the boss I've long despised. "Was it a group chat?" I ask. Imani nods. "Yeah." "Show me or you'll be out of a job." When she reluctantly unlocks her phone and hands it to me, I understand why she was so nervous getting caught with this, as the screen shows a faceless nude woman wearing heels in an office space. Imani has an African background and the nude woman is white, so it's not a selfie. Swiping the screen, there's another office nude, and I realize these pictures are taken on this floor. An employee of mine. Taking nude pictures here. The realization hits me like an explosion: Erica, Kate and Vivian. Being young influencers, their fit bodies are so recognizable along with their even tans and their collection of Michael Kors heels. So this is the reason they applied to work here together, to have unbridled access to an office space with relaxed rules and casual employees who wouldn't be bothered by their antics. And to be clear, yes, these are the girls who made my life miserable. Who made my high school years hell. I feel like the biggest fool in the world letting them work here and paying them a generous salary. Plus commissions. I'm so angry that my eyes start to water, but I hold these tears back because Imani is looking at me. I can't let my insecurities show. None of them are in the office today. Most of their work consists of going out and meeting with clients and creating content on their behalf. Creators work. If they were here I'm positive I'd freak out because I'm no longer the person I used to be. "Who else knows about this?" I ask. She gulps. "Less than a dozen, I think." "Fucking bitches." "Are you going to fire me?" "Not unless you tell me everything. Everything. Understood?" x It's close to 6 pm when I get back to my apartment, then after changing my clothes and freshening myself, I sit on the living room floor, my laptop on a coffee table. Those three girls -- Erica, Kate and Vivian -- post on a subscription based platform. The banner image shows their legs in stockings and heels. In the bio are buzzwords like, `Lifelong friends who love working together,' and `Naked adventures in the office. Come join us!' Customs available. Feel free to message anytime! We reply personally as soon as possible. As much as this hurts, I pay $20 from my debit card to gain monthly access to their content. There's zero doubt it's them. I recognize their figures, their tans, most of all their legwear and heels. Always designer. Since we've started working together they've come to the office in skirts and a variety of heels. Now I know why. Their faces are never shown but they sometimes wear ballroom masks, the sexy kind which hide their identities, but open enough to highlight their eyes and luscious lips. Yes, these are the girls in all their glory. Nipples, tits, legs, and even pussies. What can be found in these pictures are them playing in different areas. Sitting on desks, tables, or chairs, they pose for the camera, sometimes smiling with their face masks or sporting serious expressions, pretending to type on a computer or leaning back on a seat and talking on the phone. There's a picture set of Erica fingering herself in the legal department, sitting on a guy's desk. Yes, the guy I mentioned earlier, who advised me that it would be fine to hire former bullies. I'm sure this guy would be thrilled to know there was pussy on his desk, next to the computer and stacks of paper. There's a set of pictures of Kate sitting behind someone's desk in the finance area, her blonde hair draped over her blouse, as she pretends to type on a laptop while showing her pussy. By the end she's butt naked and putting lube on a dildo which she uses on herself. Her pussy is drenched with white fluids coming out. I wonder if she cleaned the seat after. I wonder if that person in the finance department knew how her seat was used. And then there's Vivian, the girl who spread malicious rumors about me. Vivian looks like an angel with a religious symbol around her neck and when she started working here she was the first to apologize. It was such a sincere apology that I felt it in my bones. Vivian has this particular photo set which churns my stomach because the pictures were taken in my office. My Office. There's a beautiful Persian rug she's sitting on while her heels are placed on top of the nearby filing cabinet. She strikes different poses, fully dressed, and her legs open and she fingers her hairy cunt. Her pantyhose rubbing against the expensive rug that I paid for. I can barely look but I'm assuming she came. My job drops seeing a different set where she's sitting behind my desk - My Desk - and she's wearing a ballroom mask, leaning back with her hands clasped together. The gorgeous downtown view is behind her, the view that I enjoy every single day. A serious expression in some pictures. Smiling in others. She pretends to type on my computer or talk on the phone. The top of her blouse is unbuttoned and her chest is showing, no bra, and the blouse is thin enough that the shape and color of her nipples are visible. Of course, she masturbates while leaning back and her lips form an O-shape while she cums. The captions read: `Shhhh... don't tell anyone I'm in the boss's office.' `There's nothing like having an orgasm where I'm not supposed to. Who knows, a promotion is in order?' `Office cum is the best cum because you're not supposed to do it there. The feeling of power is immense, just like my orgasm.' The pictures are so audacious that I don't know if I should be furious or impressed. I stare at the last picture, Vivian masked and sitting behind my desk, hands clasped together, looking straight at the camera as if she has the right to do whatever she wants. That's the attitude she's always had, that she is entitled to everything, and her sweet smile and family connections help her get away with it. I have every right to fire them tomorrow, but I run the numbers in my head and it isn't pretty. Getting rid of them would wreak havoc and they know it. I could hire new content creators, sure, but the problem is finding suitable replacements quickly while we have so many clients waiting. Vivian's pink pussy is calling my attention from the screen. Now that I've calmed down a bit, I want to understand them better, because honestly, I don't have much of a choice. On the internet anyone can be fake, but money always talks. I tip an extra $100 to get their attention. My DM: Looovveee your content. I'm a demure corporate worker but I've always had the office fantasy. It gets my pussy wet. I've never done anything like this before so I'm very glad I discovered your page. I'm curious, can you tell me more about the boss's office situation? Not fantasy play, but I'm legit interested in what actually goes on. Thanks. After sending the message I close my laptop. There's only so much stress I can take for one day. I keep my phone on the counter when it's evening and I'm cooking pasta for dinner, waiting for an email notification from that website. My phone beeps and I check. It's her. I turn off the stove and rush to my laptop. Then I go straight to the website to view her DM. Vivian (under a pseudonym): Hi, dear. Thank you so much for joining and giving the generous tip. It's always delicious to hear from other women who share the same erotic interests. You're right, many women desire this in the office, but not many can explore this, so they live vicariously through us. If you must know... and I can't share much... please understand this... my boss is a normal boss, high strung, young, sexy, kind of a bitch, kind of sweet. Dresses nice. I would kill to have my boss eating my pussy or asshole, to serve me, but that's another fantasy all together. But yeah, cumming in the boss's office is my favorite. Want more content there? It will take a while, not easy to have privacy in the magic office, hope you can understand. My pussy aches for it : ) My first thought is that these girls - Erica, Kate and Vivian - are all about exploring their desires. The money they earn from this is a bonus, a secondary prize compared to their dress up and exhibitionism and masturbation. I'm trying to figure out if that makes this less offensive, like it was never anything personal against me. Now that I've calmed down and able to think clearer, I understand why the other employees in the office are hooked on this. These girls are beautiful and charismatic. If I'd never met them and I saw this content, made in someone else's office, I'd also be aroused if I'm being honest. I tip another $200. My DM: Thanks so much for the response! I've sent another tip. Could you make more content in your boss's office? Tell me about her. I'm craving it. And I'm happy to pay. Before making a final decision on how to resolve this, I need to know everything. That's always been my approach to problem solving and that isn't going to change. xxx A week later I'm sitting in Katt's office explaining recent events to her. The porn subscription, the girls, their office exhibitionism, everything of relevance. I even confess my high school history with them and the trauma they gave me. I go into detail about my online correspondence with Vivian and how she took nudes in my office when I wasn't around. Details on how explicit the images are don't seem relevant, so I leave that out, but talking about it gets my mind overwhelmed with pink pussies. "And they're not replaceable, correct?" Katt asks. "For the time being. Losing them means losing almost half our revenue. Between the lease and new employees, it's not like we have tons of cash on reserve." She thinks for a moment. "Well if you can't get rid of them, perhaps you should consider an arrangement." "Please don't suggest what I think you're suggesting." "Discovering that your employees are engaging in these activities is certainly a shock to the system. But maybe there's another way of looking at this. Maybe keeping an open mind to this world could be an interesting experience." How could this be the same person I've trusted so much? Katt looks calm and poised like always, immaculately dressed, staring at me with those piercing eyes. I can see the wheels turning in her head as she's analyzing. "I'm not making porn with my employees." "No, of course not," she says. "But maybe we can explore this idea further, see if there's a way to maintain boundaries while still trying to understand their perspective. Healing and growth often involve stepping out of our comfort zones, even if just a little bit." "What are you suggesting?" Katt shifts in her seat, crossing and uncrossing her legs like she doesn't know what to do with them. When she decides on keeping her legs open, her office skirt hikes and her stockings are all that she has beneath. I swear she's pantyless but it's hard to be certain. I look away because I don't want to find out. "Perhaps we could create a 'sharing program' where select employees can engage in extracurricular activities, as long as they maintain their productivity." "Are you serious?" "I am." Katt locks her eyes on me while pulling her skirt. With her legs remaining open, I'm looking at her pussy. Hairy. Dark labia. She doesn't blink, she projects total confidence. "Are you involved with those girls?" I ask. "I understand them. They understand me. I know this is a shock, but given the tight-knit nature of your team, and the fact that these employees are irreplaceable, this might be for the best." Without fixing her outfit, she walks to her desk and her butt is showing while looking through her drawer. She returns with her hair pussy displayed, this time with a ballroom mask in hand, the same kind Vivian wore in the online pictures. She stands in front of me, mask in hand, pussy flaunting in my face. "Does this look familiar to you?" Katt asks. "That's what Vivian wore." "It's the exact same mask. I let Vivian borrow it so she can make adult content. In our private meetings she told me about your past. Then she alluded to what she was doing. So I encouraged her. I figured this would be an interesting healing process once you'd eventually discover it." "You bitch. You're undermining everything I've worked for." "Life is more complicated than that." I'm actually mortified that I've called her a `bitch,' though she deserves it for what she's doing behind my back. Katt is unphased by the insult, instead she wears the ballroom mask and secures it around her face. She's like a different person now, the mascara and lipstick on her face are more pronounced, more seductive. Her pussy still showing is the cherry on top of this transformation. She gets on her knees right between my legs. The craziest part is that I allow this to happen, that I don't try to stop her, and that I don't say a word. I think it's because I'm curious about what a respectable woman like her will do. My bottom is undone by her fingers and once exposed she starts giving me oral. Her eyes meet mine. Staring at me. I have to pretend she's someone else while she's wearing that mask because it makes it easier to enjoy. Because there's something about intimacy with someone I see everyday that's uncomfortable, like my carefully crafted image could be shattered. I'm curious about her motives, but at the same time, I'm too caught up in the moment to care. All I can focus on is the sensation, the softness of her lips and tongue. She kisses my mound. "As we've talked about, that feeling of exclusion in the office can be a painful moment. It's a natural reaction that's hard to override, but you can respond better to those negative emotions. Just focus on your breathing. Always your breathing." When she pushes her tongue inside me, that's when I cum. I'm glad there's a mess on her tongue and lips and she has to swallow. When I called her a bitch a moment ago, I meant it, and swallowing my orgasm is the least she can do for helping turn my office into a porn studio. Her mouth pulls away, a trail of my fluid hangs from her lower lip, and she looks at me, waiting for me to say something. So I tell her the first thing that comes to mind. "Not a word to anyone," I say. I stand and fix my outfit, both of us sharing a tense `bye' when I leave and close the door. Outside the psychologist's office I stand for a moment to compose myself while a few people are working at their desks. No one has any idea what I'm feeling, both emotionally and in my sexual area. It's a whirlwind. A guy from finance walks by with his cup of coffee and notices me. "You okay?" Doug asks. "I'm fine, thanks for asking. Having a hot flash." "Oh... well... that sucks. There's juice in the fridge." "Thanks." He walks to his desk. Keep in mind, the girls had taken turns making porn on his chair, and there's a strong chance he knew about that. I wonder how he'd feel if he also knew what I'd just done with Katt in the office. A perv like him, he'd probably sneak off to the bathroom to jack off. But at this point, who am I to judge? xxx The next day we're having a group session in Katt's office -- me sitting on one side -- the girls sitting on the other side, with Katt leading the discussion. The nature of this private meeting was never discussed but we all know what this is about. No one is playing coy about this. I'm sitting with my arms crossed, while Erica, Kate and Vivian act like school girls in detention. They know they're busted, but they won't confess. It's my first time being around the girls since discovering their office porn and I have to admit that there's something unnerving about that. I know what their nipples look like in detail, the folds and color of their labia, the particular movements which make them cum. Their fluids look different, from their consistency to levels of whiteness. Katt breaks the ice by acknowledging the situation and our unresolved issues. The room falls silent as each person shifts uncomfortably in their seats, their body language changing as Katt speaks, becoming more defensive, or submissive, depending on how you look at it. I wonder if the girls know that Katt went down on me? Would that even change anything? It could be my insecurities, but if Katt told them that I accepted oral from her, it would undermine my status as the boss. The spotlight would shift toward me even though they're the ones who committed the cardinal sin in the office. The girls finally speak. "I'm sorry." "This was my idea. I honestly never thought you'd find out. It's just... you know... our side hustle. Totally harmless." "Yeah, it was harmless. I swear we cleaned everything afterward. And I'm sorry, too." Silence hangs in the air with the assumption that I'm supposed to accept their apologies. Eyes go back and forth in the room. They've said their piece, now everyone is waiting to see what happens next. No one could have expected Katt to lift her skirt to expose her pussy, but that's what she does. This time she's clean shaven. She keeps her hands on her lap and leaves her pussy showing for us. It commands everyone's attention the way she intended. As the oldest woman in the company, along with her gravitas, she can make everyone's mouth water. She holds that pose until the mood simmers down. Her pussy has that calming effect. "Life isn't always straightforward," Katt says. "That's what makes it beautiful. By embracing the complexities, we grow and evolve. So that's why I'm proposing a time-share regarding private content creation. Now I'm asking everyone to put aside their differences to make amends. You, get on your knees, between Vivian's legs." Yes, the office psychologist is looking at me, telling me to get on my knees. I'm the one who convinced her not to retire after she left her previous job. I pay her generous salary. I pay all of their salaries, as a matter of fact, and now everyone is looking at me, expecting me to debase myself. I ran the numbers again last night and I'd be royally fucked if these girls were fired or resigned from my company. We've expanded fast by taking on more clients and our workload is stacked. Anything less than our current standards would mean that my reputation in this city and industry would take a severe hit. So I stand and walk over to Vivian and kneel between her legs. Everyone in this room has corporate experience at other places and it's normal to engage in unusual training exercises. Something that builds trust. I'm hoping that's what this is, then we can go back to our normal lives. Vivian, sitting in the middle of the couch with her friends on each side, lifts her office skirt, then leans back like she's expecting to be eaten out. She's wearing pantyhose, a garter belt -- no panties -- and her hairy pussy is exposed in front of my face. A nervous smile grows on her lips like she knows she's playing with fire. I'm mortified as you can imagine. Her friends also give nervous smiles knowing what might happen. Everyone in the room operates under the assumption that there's a chance I may go ballistic. Her friends smell weakness, glancing at each other, giving the same raise of an eyebrow when they know I'm not going to fight back. As if they'd sexually dominated others before and they know how to handle this, they slowly and carefully reach down to pull my head forward. I try to resist at first but they're persistent. And my mouth inches closer to the hairy pussy in front of me. If you've never had to provide intimate service to a girl who once made your life a living hell, let me tell you, it's an incredibly humbling experience. It takes me back to my younger days, feeling powerless and having my self-esteem crushed. Factor in the perversity of everyone in the room watching and you have a potent combination. I can feel the eyes of Kate and Erica in my direction while I'm performing, wondering, hoping that they'll be next. You might be wondering why I'm doing this. If I had to give a succinct answer, I'd say it has to do with validation. I remember being younger and having a therapist tell me that all the time, that I seek validation way too much, that I'm a people pleaser as a defense mechanism. If you want to look deeper into things, such as lust or repressed desires, then you be the judge of that. "We should have been friends all this time," Vivian says. "Had I known you give such great head... oh god... this could have been different." The ultimate slap in the face, but I push my tongue deeper, making Vivian cum in my mouth. She doesn't hold anything back. This is my first time giving oral to a woman, but surely I can't be that talented. I'm almost positive these girls eat each other out regularly. But what's making her so orgasmic now is the mental factor, that she used to spread rumors about me, dominating me psychologically, now I'm swallowing her cum despite being her fucking boss. I know that gets her off like crazy, somewhere in the dark part of her mind, and what's ironic is that it does the same for me equally. When the job is done, I wipe my mouth, wondering what the point of this is. Vivian lays back on the couch in a state of bliss, smiling at me, thanking me profusely for the pussy service. Her best friends are eager for a turn, and by the way they lick their lips, I'll be getting a turn as well. xxx I'm always the last to leave so I hang around. The sun is going down. It's been a year since this all started and it's become part of my work/life balance. How could it not? When the office clears, I'm about to leave, but instead I open the drawer to look at the ballroom mask that's been given to me. Last week they were able to talk me into joining their office shoots. I let them take pictures of me behind my desk, masked of course, and I fixed my hair in a way that made me hard to recognize. I let them take close-up shots of my face and mouth, but again, discretion was a must. My personal brand and company have really taken off, so special care must be given to secrecy. But I wanted to feel what they felt. To experience the exhibitionist rush they felt. They offered me a portion of their profits but I always refused. This isn't about money for me. At this point it's about something dangerous, something money can't buy. I was loving the comments as they came in, and still come in, glowing reviews about my body, my eyes in particular. What people enjoyed about seeing me online was that they knew I was inexperienced at it. They get off knowing that this is something real. Authenticity is hard to come by with online porn. I was advertised as being their boss, which some subscribers believed, while others remain skeptical. A lot of hype had surrounded my picture-set because the girls had taken turns masturbating in my office for the last year during our time-share when I wasn't around and I let them use my desk and gorgeous city view in the background. Every part of my office had been defiled by their bottoms and pussies. Fingering themselves, using toys, cumming everywhere, eating each other out. Even giving rim jobs across my desk. So far I've done 4 sets for them and the extra tips came flooding in. For one of the posts, Vivian wrote a heartfelt apology to me: [My dearest boss, when we applied to work for you, we meant well. Please don't think we were using you. The job posting looked awesome, and it was, everyone benefited from it. And we apologize whole-heartedly for treating you like shit back in high school. You didn't deserve that. For what it's worth, you give the best head. But that's beside the point. We were apologetic even before tongues became involved. Another rimjob next time we meet privately? From us, to you. Deep and wet. As always. Love, Vivian] I suppose that picture set was the biggest hit. Me bent over my desk. Vivian behind me. Close-up shots of her tongue, face covered by a mask. Close-up shots of my wide eyes and gaping mouth while I was getting rimmed, the mask concealing my identity and allowing my sexuality to have freedom for once, which is the greatest irony of them all. Putting the mask back in the drawer, I'm ready to leave as the office clears. The girls work on their own hours, so the next time we'll meet is next week. We've already made plans to exchange rimjobs again because that's what people love. And to be honest, getting my ass rimmed by them... almost... makes up for how they treated me in high school. Maybe I'm being petty. Or maybe they've already paid me back in full. End thank you for reading https://x.com/HeyAllStories
