SEVEN-013 My boss’s wife used to be my ex-girlfriend… A story about choosing pleasure over promotion. Otsuki Hibiki

I work at a real estate company. It’s a pretty harsh workplace, and I’m under a strict, domineering president. Still, he’s surprisingly caring and generous, and honestly, I’ve grown to like him quite a bit. One day, he invited my wife and me to his new home, so we went over to visit. His wife greeted us there, and although it was our first meeting, while we were all having dinner, she somehow looked familiar. Then I remembered—she was a former classmate from my hometown, and also my first girlfriend. It was one of those cases where old flames reignite, because Hibiki seemed fed up with her husband, who had a controlling streak and cheated constantly, and she started coming on to me hard. I knew I’d brought my wife along and that this crossed all kinds of lines, but then Hibiki kissed me passionately in the new house’s bathroom, and my self-control was on the verge of collapsing. Neither of our partners noticed, but I was overwhelmed with guilt and swore I’d never do something like this again.

Then, on another day, the president got caught up in a trendy real estate scam and started drinking heavily out of frustration. I helped him and took him home, only for Hibiki to tempt me again. Right next to the president, who was snoring loudly, this shamelessly seductive woman tried to get things started. If this got out, it would be completely over. And yet, after seeing those beautiful curves for the first time in over a decade, and that mature, alluring body, I wanted her. I gave in. Even going all the way. I chose this pleasure over getting ahead in my career, and decided to go all in, figuring that if I got caught, so be it.
