Chapter 5 - Decking the Halls: Laura's Christmas Surprise for her Boss

Laura looked forward to Saturdays because it was her day off from her demanding job as Matthew Schneider's secretary. She handled communication and tasks on his behalf, and always made sure to fulfill his every request. Despite the intensity of their work, Matthew was a diligent and responsible boss.

On her Saturdays off, Laura indulged in her favorite pastimes such as binge-watching TV shows and window shopping. With Christmas just around the corner, she decided to scout for good deals at the neighborhood bazaars to decorate Matthew's office.

When Laura arrived at the bazaars, she observed that there were a handful of people doing the same as she was. As she perused the colorful shops, she found a long grass garland that she thought would complement Matthew's office window perfectly. She then chose navy blue Christmas balls decorated with silver glitter spirals in various sizes and plain silver balls to match. Laura's attention then turned to sparkly light blue stars that she deemed would be a great addition to the navy blue balls. Lastly, she bought a large pack of edible candy canes.

Laura's heart was pounding with excitement as she hurriedly paid for her purchases and hailed a cab to Schneider Enterprise's building. The prospect of decorating the office for Christmas had filled her with an eager anticipation that she could barely contain. It had been years since she had last indulged in the joy of setting up Christmas decorations with her family, and the memory of those cherished moments made her heart ache with nostalgia.

Memories of past Christmases flooded Laura's mind, and she felt a sense of bittersweet nostalgia wash over her. The memories of decorating the Christmas tree with her parents, baking cookies and pies, and exchanging gifts filled her with a profound longing for those days long gone. But she was determined not to let those memories fade away. She knew that the true spirit of Christmas lay not in the presents or the decorations, but in the love and warmth that filled her heart.

Laura stepped off the elevator, her arms full of holiday decorations, and a soft Christmas tune humming on her lips. Her heart was set on transforming the sterile, lifeless office into a place that radiated the joy and warmth of the holiday season.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Jones," the building's affable guard, Mr. Brown, greeted as he held the lobby door open for her. "Are you adding some holiday cheer to your workspace today?"

Laura's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Absolutely, Mr. Brown. I'm planning to give Mr. Schneider's office a complete makeover. He could use a little bit of holiday spirit in his life."

The guard chuckled. "I'm sure he'll appreciate it, Ms. Jones."

With a grateful smile, Laura hurried towards the 44th floor, home to the CEO's office. The top floor of the building was reserved for only two individuals, the CEO and his secretary. Matthew's packed schedule had forced him to commandeer the entire floor and convert it into his own personal sanctuary.

Laura's desk and a lounge area for Matthew's visitors greeted her as she stepped off the elevator. Two doors led to Matthew's office and the restroom, but her curiosity was piqued by the several other doors she spotted. She knew they led to rooms that Matthew had personally designed. One was a mini-bar, another a mini-gym, and he even had a bedroom on the floor. The final door led to an entertainment room, with state-of-the-art technology that Laura could only dream of.

She had only ever been allowed into Matthew's office, but the allure of the other rooms tantalized her. For now, though, she was content to focus on bringing a little bit of holiday magic to the office.

Laura swiped her card to gain access to the main office. It was Saturday and the only others present were the maintenance crew and the guards, a stark contrast to the usual weekday buzz of employees. Her first task was to decorate the office with garlands, starting with the floor-to-ceiling window behind Matthew's desk. After obtaining a stool from the maintenance crew, she climbed up, grunting in exertion to reach the uppermost part of the window.

Focused on her task, she didn't hear someone enter the room until a booming voice startled her, causing her to drop the garland. She spun around to see who it was, causing the stool to wobble.

Before she could react, she began to fall, bracing herself for the impact. However, she felt nothing and opened her eyes to see Mr. Schneider groaning beneath her.

"Mr. Schneider?!" Laura exclaimed, surprised to find the CEO of the company on the premises.

Laura found herself in the most awkward and uncomfortable position she had ever experienced. Beneath her, her boss Matthew sat with his legs spread wide, while she straddled his lap. His strong arms wrapped around her petite waist and his chin rested on her shoulder. It was an intimate, compromising position that Laura desperately wished to escape.

As blood rushed to her cheeks, Laura shifted, attempting to extricate herself from the situation. But her movements only made matters worse, causing Matthew to emit a low moan of pleasure.

Suddenly, Laura felt something pressing against her backside - Matthew's manhood. She tried to stand up, but the sensation of his member lodged between her buttocks prevented her from doing so. She felt him growing harder, responding to the friction between them. It was a mortifying, yet strangely arousing feeling.

Laura cursed herself for choosing to wear her skintight black leather skirt that day. It provided little protection against the growing pressure of Matthew's arousal. She could feel him pulsating against her, threatening to overwhelm her senses.

In a desperate attempt to break free, Matthew thrust his hips upwards, driving himself deeper into Laura's embrace. A loud moan escaped her lips, betraying her arousal. She was sure her face was as red as a tomato as she glanced up and saw their reflection in the glass wall. The image was one of undeniable seduction - her flushed face and Matthew's closed eyes, lost in the sensation of their bodies pressed together.
