Twenty years I've worked here. Twenty years of still no recognition, no looks. Just utterly invisible. I’ve tried to act out or even go as low as not following dress code and still nothing. No one bats an eye at me. The person I am the most shocked by is Elaine. I watched as she came into this office. A huge bright smile and a sparkle in her eye. You could tell she was so ready to be here, little did she know this place takes your soul. Over the years I’ve seen her sparkle die out and that smile turn into an intimidating scowl. Like she’d devour anyone who dares step out of line.
“Go back to your desk and come back when you can act like an adult!” Her voice rings through the entire office. This used to catch me by surprise but now I don’t bat an eye. I might be the only one that doesn’t react anymore. I look up over my computer watching as everyone increases their typing speed, sweat glistening off their foreheads.
“Imbisiles.” I say under my breath. If anything her anger lights a fire in me. I’ve always liked a challenge. The way she commands a space, with a glance the whole room would drop. Whatever she wanted, she got. I always wondered what I would have to do to be wanted like that. To have her hands all over me, commanding me. Me, the invisible, the nobody.
The words on my screen are starting to blend together, blinking rapidly, I try to will my eyes to work again. It is currently seven pm, another long day. The only two people left in the office are me and Elaine. People started leaving around five, having families or friends to go meet. Even with the last person leaving only a few minutes ago I miss the company. I may have not been noticed but this silence reminds me of how truly lonely I am. I have no family left, this job took over my life so friends weren't even on my mind, and no pets to jump up excitedly when I get home. I just wanted to be wanted.
I can feel a migraine coming on, I need some caffeine in me desperately. As I get up from my desk almost every part of my body cracks and aches, when they said an office job was taxing I didn’t think they would mean this.
I press my fingers into my back and lean back, stretching my muscles to the best of my ability, praying for some relief. When a soft pop is heard I let out a deep breath letting myself fully relax into my standing position. My heels click on the packed carpet, I'm sure it is just there for show because it is anything but soft. My feet are killing me right now and this stupid carpet isn’t helping. Nothing to soften my steps. I make my way to the ancient coffee pot.
My hands quickly get to work putting the ground coffee in the filter and water in its place. My manicured nails hit the start button and I sit my pretty self down at the table. Letting my head fall into my hands. I have found myself here before, asking myself why I do this to myself, Why I will not willingly follow Elaine's commands. Why does my boss hold a special place in my heart when she doesn’t even know I exist. Why do I crave to give my control to her, while my brain is at war with itself, convinced I don’t deserve such feeling.
Just like that the sound of the brewing coffee machine rings through my ears and I lift my head up, my dizziness taking over for a few seconds. But I push through it. The thought of the papers scattered over my own desk and the ones surrounding remind me of how dire this time of year is. Non-stop deadlines, never ending coffee refills, and those more than vocational 3am clock outs. Even as my exhaustion threatens to take over, all I can think about is getting some food in my system.
“I need to get some food in me.” I talk to myself, pouring my own cup of coffee. As I turn around, coffee in hand, there stands the boss I secretly hold dearly. The flinch comes rushing in, leaving me even more unsteady. To my surprise, I flinch just enough that steaming hot coffee spills all over my cream blouse.
“Shit.” I say. Not even fazed by the hot coffee burning into my skin. One too many times of this happening and you get used to the steaming hot coffee, from interns getting a little too cocky, or those middle aged entitled brats that belittle women for fun.
“It’s rude to sneak up on someone you know.” I say with a sass I didn’t know I possessed. A small smirk pulls at her lips.
“My dear will you ever forgive me. I can order us food as an apology.” She asks quickly, grabbing a kitchen towel patting my cleavage and chest dry. My breath catches in my throat at her closeness. Her eyes have that sparkle back in them as she eyes my chest.
“Come on now, I know you can speak.” Her finger lifts my chin up to make full eye contact with her.
“I-um. Food sounds good.” My eyes search for her true intention. But I am only met will a smirk and her lip between her teeth.
“Good girl.” She sat walking back to her office. With her slowly taking over my brain I can’t think clearly.
“Wait, how do you know what I like?” I shout after her and all I hear back is a low chuckle and four words that almost make me spiral.
“I pay attention, darling.” It’s like my feet were cemented in quick sand.
“That's creepy.” I sass, only to realize what I've just done. She could have me fired on the spot. I could not move.
Then the words hit me, if she pays attention how many things has she caught me doing and how do I still have a job? A rush of embarrassment washes over me, my cheeks turn bright red and my hands shake. This can’t be real. There is no way. My feet move quickly before my brain can even process what I'm doing. I’m barging into her office, not even bothering to knock.
“What do you mean you pay attention? You can’t just say that and walk away. You don’t understand, I've been invisible for my whole career. Why me?” I rant, not able to stop the word vomit.
“It surprises me that you think I wouldn’t know ALL my employees like the back of my hand.” She says getting up. Circling around me like her prey.
Oh no.
Her hand touches my lower back as she guides me to a chair, those sharp nails she has on lightly scratching at my spine. Her hands on my shoulders forcing me into the chair within seconds.
“I’ve seen how much of a brat you are. Wearing skirts so short you can practically see how wet you are when you bend over. Not to mention those blouses you wear that leave nothing to the imagination.” Her cold hands run down my shoulders to my chest. Sinking her nails into my skin just to leave ten beet red scratches.
“I set my claim on you as soon as I got this position. I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. To know how you would be squirming under me, begging me for more. God I imagined you on your knees for me countless times. Maybe even tying you up just to tell me all your fantasies. How delicious of a thought.” My breath heaves. It feels like my heart is going to explode, like my body is trying to reject the idea of me submitting to her but begging to be used. I try to stand, to run out of there. To not face what I truly desire but her hands are on me before I could fully stand.
“No ma’am you are going to sit and listen to every word I say. Just like how you do in those meetings. Don’t think I didn’t catch you watching my hands, squeezing your thighs together every time my fingers flexed. So desperate to have my hand around your throat. Huh? Pretty Girl.” A quiet whine escapes my lips and I can practically feel her grin behind me.
“Thats my good girl. Now go back to your desk and finish up, I'll let you know when the food gets here. Can’t have my girl hungry and exhausted. Feel free to take tomorrow off, my dear. You can’t keep pulling these super long days. It’s not healthy and I need you in top shape for the christmas party.” Her hand wraps around my throat lightly and lifts my head up, so that I’m looking at her behind me.
“A new contract will be written up by tomorrow, okay?” Her tone is soft now and I hum.
“Yes madam.” Her eyes light up at the honorific.
“Thank you darling. Now, may I kiss my good girl?” She moves around me with elegance I’ve never seen before, hand still glued to my throat. Her lips are close but her eyes search my face, waiting for my reaction.
“Yes please.” Just like that her lips were on my own. My body instinctively pushes further into her hand, begging for more. Her lips are so soft, so addicting. I wanted more, needed more. I feel seen and I just selfishly wanted it all, right then and there. But she handles me with such grace.
“Be patient, quiet one, I will have you before you know it.” Her hand around my neck guides me up to her, my body flushed with hers. I can’t help but look into her beautiful eyes.

it’s all too possible zeke, despite his pride, has a tendency to think of things bigger than him when it counts as i imagine marcus would constantly say shit like that. it’s hard not to be taken aback realizing something could be so focused on yourself. zeke never thought of anything that way before. it’s always about what he should do for the world (what he owes society and what’s ‘right’ according to it because those are his morals) so the idea william is utterly and insanely obsessed with him makes zeke so confused.
