Pegged In The Office!
(Scarlett Steele)

"Yes, as it pertains to my job. I know how to handle a man like you. It's not by caving in and bending at the waist," Zelda said.



"But if you do that perhaps you'll receive a bonus in your pay this month," Avery posed.



"Are you offering money for a show?" Zelda glanced at the clock. Technically she was off work and felt she could speak her mind.



"Pay for a show? No, I don't have to pay women to show me what they have," Avery said.



"You wouldn't like my type anyway," Zelda said. She swung the bait hoping he'd take it. She had a plan.



"What is your type?" Avery asked.



"Look, I know your type. You are a take charge stay in charge type of man. You probably would never allow a little woman like me to be in charge of you in any capacity," she said mysteriously. She took off for the break room. Avery walked on her heels, like a puppy after a bone.



"What kind of woman are you? You seem to take orders very well," Avery said.



Zelda spun around after grabbing a cup from the cupboard. "I know my place at work. I enjoy my paycheck and perks. I'll never jeopardize that," she said as she squinted up at the man. She started to grab the coffee pot still simmering in the warmer. Avery put his hand on hers stopping her, so she'd turn to him.



"You're off the clock now. Please, I'd love to get to know this Zelda," Avery said. He seemed genuinely interested in her.



"Really? You'd like to get to know the real me? My job wouldn't be in jeopardy?" She poured the coffee and took a sip. She liked it black and strong, straight up.
