When Eliana needs a new job

Eliana graduated less than a year ago with her 3rd degree, but was struggling to find a good place to work. She must have sent our around 20 applications and had only one interview. That type of rejection and frustration was really starting to weigh heavily on her, so I decided to see if I could help her get a job at my work.

I manage a department of around 50 people. It’s kind of a weird way to structure the company, but each department has multiple types of job working together. I have engineers, programmers, technical writers, a finance group, my secretary, a general contractor…you get it. I also get to hire a few interns each year. They don’t make as much as the other full time employees, but it is still good money for an internship. We also frequently find a full time position in the company for them at the end of their contracted year. I know I seem young to be managing a group this big, but it was like the stars aligned for me. I had recently been promoted to one of the supervisors in the department and the manager was a sort of mentor for me. Well, she left 3 years ago but put everything in place for me to get promoted. So here I am!

I had five openings right now, so I told Eliana to apply. I know favoritism would look bad, so I told her to not mention me in her application. It was likely HR wouldn’t want me to hire my own wife over other qualified candidates, so keeping it a secret for now seemed like the safe bet.

Sure enough, two weeks later I was sitting with Andrea in HR and my secretary Megan processing the final paperwork to hire my new interns. They would be assisting the entire team to get as much exposure to the different tasks the different jobs perform.

“Wow, three women?! That’s the first time we’ve even had 3 women apply since I started here.” Megan had been at the company for the past few years. She’s been my secretary since I got my promotion, and we’d grown to be close friends in that time. Well, relatively close at least.

“Yeah, after all 4 last year being men, I was excited to have so many women apply. It made it easy to select three qualified ladies to bring in.” That was all actually true, I knew I would have to lie at some point, but it was so easy to lie when the majority of what you say is true.

“Well, Kayla was my top choice, so I’m glad to see you went with her. Britney is also a good one to bring in. They both just graduated from USC too, so my Trojan pride is happy about that. The two young men, Scott and Patrick, both seem like solid young men as well.” Andrea had been here much longer than I had, but we were still friendly at least. She was always super helpful with all HR related issues, especially the hiring process.

“Now, Eliana is a little older than most interns we get. Why did you select her instead of one of the younger interns?” Always depend on Megan to bring up stuff I was trying to sweep under the rug. I mean, she isn’t a bad person, just super observant, sometimes too observant.

“Oh, in my interview with her, she explained her degree change and her desire to really learn about our business and be a long term part of our team.” Again, almost entirely true. This year would be easy if these were the hardest lies I had to tell. I’d rehearsed what I was going to say if I got asked a few specific questions many times to myself. I didn’t want to get accused of hiring someone close to me, I didn’t need that reputation.

“That and she’s beautiful.” Megan was teasing me as she said it with a smirk, but she was not lying. It was common knowledge that I was out of the figurative closet. But people didn’t know I was married, let alone that Eliana was my beautiful wife. Maybe one day they would find out, but not right now. “Actually, to be honest, all three ladies are going to catch eyes. And the boys are good looking too. Were all the applicants attractive or did you just select the 5 hottest like this is some erotic story?”

“Well, I trust you to have made the right decision. Hiring someone because he or she is pretty is one thing, but doing something with that is another. I trust that isn’t what this is.”

“You know I wouldn’t do that.” Again, mostly true. Well, maybe. Hopefully they wouldn’t find out Eliana and I were married for at least the entire time she is an intern. We could keep a secret for a year, I hope. At least the other 4 weren’t hired for that reason.

“Good. I just hope the men in this office can control themselves. I don’t want any headaches from men expecting to get laid with pretty interns.” Andrea was joking, but she was way too damn close to the truth for my heart to not start racing. Megan pulled me out of my thoughts with a fun bit of gossip.

“Speaking of bad hiring, did you hear about Carl over in payroll?! He got caught hiring his niece. Well, y’all know that’s against the rules, nepotism. They let both his niece and Carl go. Everyone is talking about it.”

“Hey, hey, none of that. We don’t talk about why people are let go, you know that.”

Andrea didn’t refute the claim, though. So I assumed Megan’s story was accurate. She had an uncanny way of knowing almost everything that was going on in the entire office. But the bigger thing was Carl being fired for nepotism. That meant we absolutely had to keep it a secret now, both of our jobs were in jeopardy. Maybe this wasn’t worth it. But it was too late now.

That night I explained the situation to Eliana. She hated putting my job at risk, but she understood she could continue looking for another job while working with my company. I turned it into a game that night as I straddled her beautiful torso in bed, hoping to ease her tensions about the entire situation.

“Think about how fun it will be. We have to be secretive, keeping our love affair hidden. Nobody will know that every night I bring the intern home and that I get to see her naked every day. They will have no idea that we frequently fuck until we pass out at the end of the day.”

“Mmm, i could get into that. Secretive glances, not letting people know that I know what your pussy tastes like, or that you will have your face between my thighs that night.”

“Yeah, we can take advantage of the built in taboo nature of it until you find another job. Or if you stay we can keep it going for however long we want.”

“Fuck, ok. Let’s do it!”

Her lips were immediately on mine, her hands stripping all my clothes off. We made love that night more intensely than we have in a long time. I think I came 3 times before we finally passed out in each other’s arms.
