Dating : To Sleep or Not to Sleep with the Boss

Tag-of-war between desires and power dynamics

He’s been smiling at you for a while now. It’s a different smile, not the one he gives every colleague. He’s considerate and kind. When he passes by, he smells nice, and he’s always well-dressed.

Today at the Christmas party, you both drank a little. You laughed and shared quality time. It was agreeable; he made you feel special. You reached out and touched his arm. Unconsciously, of course, but it sent chills down your spine.

He dropped you home, after hours of talking in his car. You said thank you and got off. He left.

So the next morning, you start your day with a very different attitude. It’s time to make the fantasy come true. It’s time to have sex with the boss.
