A photograph of her nude, raw cunt. She could almost imagine how she must have looked all sprawled open, her juices leaking down onto the sofa cushion. Not that Nate would be so ungentlemanly as to threaten her with exposure. But just the fact that he held something so intimate made her nervous about her relationship with him. Maybe it was better to go to her job after all. She could tell him face to face that she no longer intended to remain in his employ. She wasn't going to risk temptation. Nor give him another chance to use his experience to seduce her. She'd come close enough to danger that last time.

Rebecca chose a pair of slacks and a not particularly sexy top and hurried through her breakfast. Her aunt was very put out at her and Rebecca could understand why. But she couldn't begin to explain why she'd behaved as she had. Aunt Lana would never understand. Never in a hundred years.

When she walked up to the front of Nate's art theater, the workmen were just finishing the new marquee. There were painters in the lobby now and she skirted the spread tarps and went into the office. Nate was interviewing a girl Rebecca recognized immediately. She had just graduated from high school that year; a frizzy-haired redhead who chewed gum incessantly and wasn't the smartest girl in the world by a long shot. Tammy Patterson hadn't been the model of chastity during her high school career either. There had been plenty of rumors about Tammy doing it with various members of the football squad. Or basketball squad. Or with whatever sports hero happened to be in the limelight at any given time. No, Tammy wasn't especially bright. But she had a body like a movie star and wide, large eyes. Rebecca guessed that Nate was interviewing her for a job selling popcorn. She waited until Tammy left the room before she dared say anything to Nate.

"I'm sorry I'm late. But you see, I don't think I can work here any longer and…"

"Oh that's silly." He smiled and hugged her shoulders. Rebecca stiffened and twisted away from him. Nate kept smiling his knowing smile. "Why don't you give it one more chance. Besides, there's a surprise in your desk."
