Stories for Men

I got my chance to pitch for Hugo’s custom sooner than expected, when he called me to his office the next day. He met me at the door and shut it behind me. For a moment, I thought he was going to lock it and my heart quickened in anticipation. But then he moved back behind his desk, waving me to the seat in front. So, he was back to using his desk as a buffer – that wasn’t good.

‘We need to talk,’ he began, looking down at his steepled hands, ‘about the other night.’ He looked up at me then, but I said nothing. I wasn’t going to give him any prompts.

‘It shouldn’t have happened,’ he continued. ‘It was very wrong of me to put you in that position—’

‘Which position was that?’ I asked, attempting a saucy smile. ‘When you had me on my back or when I was straddling you? Or maybe you mean when I was on my knees.’

His eyes widened, and he blushed to the roots of his hair. He opened his mouth to speak, but said nothing. I guess he was lost for words.

‘Either way, I didn’t mind. And you didn’t put me in any position. I put myself there.’

‘That’s not the point, Jane. I took advantage of you.’

‘No one takes advantage of me.’ I thought of Klute and tried to channel Bree Daniels – tough and worldly.

‘There’s an unequal power dynamic here, Jane. You’re my student. By definition I took advantage of you.’

‘Are you saying that you’re somehow superior to me? Because—’

‘No, of course not. But my position as your tutor means I have a certain ... power over you. And God forgive me, I chose to manipulate it.’

Well, two can play at that game, I thought. Let’s see who’s manipulating who here.

It was time to apply some of the lessons I’d learned from the movies. I thought of the scene in Klute where Bree goes to the garment factory and tells the old geezer a sexy story while doing a slow striptease. I got up and went over to the door, and turned the key in the lock. I knew I was probably being overambitious. Jane Fonda had won an Oscar for her performance in that movie, and I was no Academy Award contender. I didn’t even have any of the props to make it easier – no feather boa, no wine, no lovely music to help set the mood. Still, it was worth a shot.

‘Jane? What are you doing?’ Hugo sounded nervous. That was good. It made me feel more in control. Channeling Bree Daniels for all I was worth, I walked slowly back to the desk with what I hoped was a seductive smile.

‘I don’t want any interruptions,’ I said, trying to make my voice deep and purry, like a girl on a sex chatline.

‘But – I don’t think we should—’ Hugo was sputtering.

‘I don’t want to talk about the other night any more. It happened. Deal with it.’

‘Yes, but—’

‘I want to talk about something else.
