Melted Boss

“Ow!”

The magic arrow struck his left breast, right where his heart was.

An overwhelming exhaustion washed over Tom when he realized he had succeeded, and before he collapsed to the ground, he felt Staxis catch him.

“I…I did it,” he murmured, nearly fainting.

“Good job, kid. Don’t worry, I’ll give you some of my energy to maintain the Vanish. Believe me, you won’t want to interrupt the show that’s about to begin,” said the blonde.

As the weariness vanished thanks to the deity, he watched intently the scene that was about to unfold.

He noticed the director’s rigid body give a slight jump in her chair, a hand clutching her chest, then she blinked rapidly before fixing her gaze straight ahead.

A wave of exhaustion washed over her.

“Um…Mr…Mr. Lincoln, wait…mh… a moment,” she said, her voice cracking.

The janitor turned around, still holding the door, his eyebrows arched and his lips pressed tightly together.

“Mmh…yes, Miss Ember,” he said, forcing his lips together.

Suddenly rising, her face illuminated by invisible lights, Elizabeth began gesturing with her hand.

“Come here, I want to tell you…uh…something very important I just remembered.”

Lumi hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned back, her hands clasped, not daring to look at her boss. Elizabeth, on the other hand, was somewhat restless, adjusting her hair as her breathing quickened with each approach.

“Now, use your X-Sense again,” Staxis suggested.

Still exhausted, he obeyed, astonished. What had once been a solid iceberg, where Elizabeth's heart should have resided, was now a very different reality. A blinding light was bursting forth from within her; for a moment, he thought he was looking at the sun, so incandescent was it.

There was no doubt about it: what he was seeing was the purest and most passionate love a woman could feel for a man. Her Flame had been completely molded in the image of the janitor, making him the absolute master of her heart.

"Incredible... I did all that."

"That's right, boy. From this moment on, that rich girl will only have eyes for her employee. From today forward, any romantic or sexual frustration she may have had will be directed toward HIM," the blonde explained, pointing at the fearful Lumi, who was unaware of how much his life was about to change.

Exuding an air of submission, Lumi approached the desk, still refusing to look at his boss's face. The poor man probably thought he was going to be reprimanded again.

“Um…well…What would you like, Miss Ember?”

Before Lincoln realized it, the principal had turned around and was standing right behind him. The janitor felt a jolt when he felt her heavy breathing on the back of his neck; now he was between her and the desk.

“Hmm…well, I wanted to know more about you. How many years have you worked for me?” Her voice was calm and gentle, nothing like the stern tone from before.

“6…um…6 years and 11 months, Miss Ember.”

Elizabeth placed her hands on Lumi’s shoulders with the delicacy of someone touching a precious jewel. Of course, that made the man tremble, but he didn’t dare move.

"Oh, it's been so long! I had no idea. I'm sure you've learned something about business by now, hehe."

"Hmm...uh...actually, I studied a lot about design and tailoring." Lincoln, though uncomfortable, was beginning to relax thanks to the woman's presence.

The director's slender fingers traced the length of her employee's arms before returning to his shoulders. It seemed as if she were meticulously measuring his body.

"Incredible, Mr. Lincoln. Let's see how much you know. What were the suggestions you wanted to tell me earlier?"

That question stirred something within the normally introverted man. Tom felt his Flame leap with joy at his crush's interest in his ideas.

He instantly turned, locked into Elizabeth's sensual gaze, as if he were the only human on the planet.

"Oh wow...uh...well, I was thinking of doing the following......"

He spent nearly 15 minutes eagerly explaining his numerous ideas for the company. Staxis wasn't wrong when she commented on the man's potential; Lincoln demonstrated a broad knowledge of fashion and design, just like any prestigious designer.

Besides that, the more he spoke, the more confident he became, turning around completely and raising his voice. Explaining everything to his boss made him look like himself in a different light. Something Elizabeth was well aware of; her gaze filled with delight as she continued listening.

"Well, Miss Ember, what do you think?" Lumi asked proudly when he finished.

The director took a few seconds to answer, then placed her long arms on Lincoln's shoulders, who swallowed hard.

"Wow, I had no idea of your knowledge. Some of my employees take years to learn what you just told me."

"Uh...th-thank you, Miss...Miss Ember...although I think...I think you're exaggerating a bit," the janitor's voice trailed off again.

“Oh, not at all. You have a natural talent for this, a talent that, if used correctly, could take you very, very far.”

Elizabeth clasped her hands together, causing the distance between them to go from close to dangerously short, their lips almost touching.

“Mmm...hm...re...really?” Lumi murmured with difficulty.

“I’ve never been so serious as I am now, I’ve got it! How about I take you to a restaurant?” Elizabeth’s fingers were caressing her employee’s disheveled hair. “We’ll have coffee, you can continue explaining your amazing suggestions, and… and if you’d like, maybe we could take things further, Lumi.”

Tom could have sworn the janitor was going to faint when he heard his name on the lips of the queen of his fantasies.

“Oh… oh God, that… that… would be… would be wonderful, Miss Ember, just… just tell me the day and time.…”

“How about right now? I don’t see any reason to wait,” she interrupted, raising an eyebrow.

“Right now! Miss Ember, but… but you still have some commitments, and… and I…...Mmmmm !”

All his complaints were silenced by Elizabeth’s crushing kiss; she devoured Lincoln’s mouth with a consuming passion. The janitor, due to that excessive push, stumbled backward until he fell onto the desk.

“Mmmmmmh”

The director, without breaking contact, climbed on top of him, making the scene increasingly wild. The papers that had recently been of vital importance to her flew to the floor as she frantically unbuttoned Lincoln's shirt.

“It's started now. I'm honestly surprised at how hot this woman turned out to be,” commented Staxis, watching the situation with delight.

“Yes, she's a different kind of woman,” added our protagonist.

After several minutes, she pulled away, most likely to catch her breath; saliva was still visible between them.

“I… damn, being with you is my biggest commitment today… ahhh… ahh… and please, Lumi, call me by my name.”

“Mmmmmm… I… I agree… Elizabeth… I’ll go… I’ll go wherever… wherever you want,” Lumi stammered, staring blankly into space in astonishment.

The director kissed her again, this time the janitor reciprocated. Now they were devouring each other, completely forgetting any work ethic.

“Mmm…oh Elizabeth…you have no idea how much…mmm…I’ve always loved you.”

“Oh, really…mmh…I think I was stupid for not seeing it sooner…mmmmm.”

This time they didn’t last long; as soon as they parted, Elizabeth quickly reached for her phone, which slipped from her grasp twice.

“Hello, Miss Smith, I want you to cancel the 12 o’clock appointment…hm, in fact, cancel all of today’s and tomorrow’s appointments…..” She had regained her fiery temper. “…..No, no complaints, Miss Smith. Tell everyone that something IMPORTANT has come up that I can’t ignore…I don’t care how you do it! DO IT OR YOU’RE FIRED! Oh, and find a new janitor.” She hung up angrily.

Far from being scared, Lumi was amazed by Elizabeth’s temper, though he quickly became confused.

“A new janitor… Wait, are you going to fire me?”

The angry and imposing boss transformed in a matter of milliseconds into a caring woman when she heard the concern in her man’s voice.

“Oh, come on, darling, you don’t think I’m going to leave you in that pathetic position. No, starting tomorrow you’ll be my personal consultant and right-hand man. What do you think?”

“That… sounds… FANTASTIC!”

She got out of the car, her face showing concern at the mess the desk had become, but it softened into a more sensual one when she saw Lumi taking a bath.

“Alright, let’s go, Lumi. I have a feeling we’ll be chatting for hours,” she said, unbuttoning two buttons of her suit.

“Yes… I can’t wait.”

The new and unusual couple left through the door, holding hands and exchanging passionate glances.

Once they were alone, Staxis clapped, smiling broadly.

"That was great. From here on out, we'll leave you two alone. I don't have the gift of clairvoyance, but I can already see wedding bells in your future."

"You...you think so?"

"Wait, it's better to talk somewhere else."

The blonde placed her hand on Tom's shoulder, and before she knew it, she felt her body being dragged away from the office...
