Leah slid into the driver’s seat and adjusted down the rear-view
mirror.

“You look like a million bucks.” She smiled. There was
something different there, she decided. A glow. A bit of sass. A fair amount of
confidence.

Leah thought of the box.

Moments later Leah parked in the parking lot behind the FoodSmart.
She turned around three times on way in to look back at the Honda. Exotic? Nah.
Slick? Heck no. Hers? Oh yeah!

The office computer helped Leah locate a management training
class taking place in a few weeks. Perfect. It was a three-day intensive course
and she’d only have to miss one day of her college classes. She presented it to
Bob, who readily agreed and was singing the praises of the company that was
sponsoring the class when the phone rang and interrupted.

Leah found her way back out to the floor, feeling stronger in
her new role. She was also down five pounds, which made her feel like a
superstar. She smiled genuine smiles at customers and reveled in the warmth she
felt within her when they returned it. Real smiles were a treasure to be
engaged in as often as possible.

The next afternoon—her day off—Leah made her way down to
Mayfaire’s. She tried to be invisible, praying she would see no one that she
knew. It would be a little embarrassing to be a manager at one grocery store
and shopping in another. It would be even more embarrassing if anyone knew why.

Leah moved through the aisles with her little green plastic
basket, picking up random things. Garlic salt.
After all, who doesn’t need
garlic salt
? And a can of green beans.
For crying out loud, whose pantry
doesn’t have canned green beans in it
?

While Leah rationalized all of her purchases, she scoured
every square inch of the store looking for Scott. What she was going to do with
him once she found him she had no idea. All she knew is that she was dying to
lay eyes on him.

As Leah was getting ready to round a corner and move up
another aisle, she heard two of the store employees chatting. She stopped in
her tracks. One of them had said Scott’s name.

“When is he coming back?”

“It’s going to be like three weeks. I guess we have to get
our stuff together.”

“He did help a lot while he was here.”

“Well, Scott’s an area manager. He’s done this before. I’m
just glad that dipshit didn’t take the store down with him when he made off
with all that cash.”

“Shhh,” the other employee chastised. “We’re not supposed to
talk about it.”

“Who’s listening?”

“It doesn’t matter. Someone could hear and turn you in.”

“Like who, you?”

“Well no, but damn. Whenever they find Jerry, his ass is
going to be locked up and that’s it. There’s nothing left to say.”

Leah backed up and moved up the aisle she’d just left. She’d
learned some interesting things. Apparently the prior store manager was an
embezzler, but more importantly Scott wouldn’t be back for three weeks. She
could quit haunting Mayfaire’s for a few weeks.
I can quit wearing this
ridiculous disguise
, Leah thought with a laugh. But she knew that in three
weeks she would become a permanent fixture at the store.

“Grocery stores are my life,” Leah said under her breath and
she headed for the checkout line.

Moving through the next few weeks, Leah felt like she was a
woman on a mission. She read a nutrition book and started making healthier food
choices. She kept after her kickboxing and felt better and better at the end of
each class. She opened the box at least once every three days, eager to have
Hale arrive and do whatever she told him to. He took her on the sofa and on the
kitchen floor. He bent her over the bed and took her standing up in the shower.
He licked her pussy, fucked her pussy, fucked her ass and did everything in
between. Whatever she said, he did, and he never grew tired.

* * * * *

Leah arrived for her management class shortly before
registration was scheduled to end. She’d taken the early kickboxing class and
spent too long talking to Regina about the weight training class she was
actually considering. She’d run home and gotten ready without a moment to
spare.

Because Leah was the last one to class, the only seats left
were up at the very front of the room.
Well, at least I won’t have trouble
hearing
, she sighed to herself. She took an empty chair next to a young man
who looked like he was a little nervous. She turned and smiled at him. He
smiled back, looking instantly more at ease.
The power of a smile
, Leah
thought.

She was about to try some small talk with the guy when the
woman in the front of the room clapped her hands and said, “Welcome, everyone!
Let’s get started. I’m Nancy Maines and I’ll be your facilitator for the next
three days. Let me tell you how excited I am to be here today…”

Leah watched the young woman, trying not to go slack-jawed.
Nancy was professional, poised, well-dressed and appeared to absolutely love
what she was doing. Who the hell could have fun doing public speaking?

Furiously taking notes and hanging on to the woman’s every
word, Leah absorbed the class like water into dry sand. She noted what a
manager does—planning, leading, organizing and controlling. She tried to apply
those areas to her role at FoodSmart. She discussed with her classmates what it
means to be a leader. Someone used the word visionary.

Visionary
, Leah thought.
Could someone ever use
that word to describe me
?

By the end of the third day, Leah was brain-fried with
information overload but she was on fire. She was going to go back and take
control of that department. She was going to make her people work as a team.
They would respect and obey her, whether they liked her or not.

Leah arrived for her early Saturday shift ready to go. She
skipped into FoodSmart and waved at Kelly.

“Hey, girl! You got ants in your pants? Or something else?” Kelly
winked at her and started to turn back to what she was doing, then returned her
sights to Leah.

“Have you been losing weight?”

Leah beamed. “Yes. I’m down almost ten pounds.”

“That’s awesome! That kickboxing class is doing wonders.”

Kelly looked around and lowered her voice.

“Or is it all that sex?” she whispered.

Leah raised her eyebrows and nodded. Kelly laughed out loud.
“Well, I’m totally jealous. When are you going to bring this love machine out
in public and show him off?”

Never.

“I don’t know. Coming to work for a date isn’t my idea of a
good time.”

“A date, huh? By your description dating would be a polite
term for what you’re doing.”

Leah shrugged and smiled, knowing her face was red. They had
to cut off the embarrassing conversation, though, as the rest of the employees
were gathering in the storeroom for shift meeting.

Leah ran through the usual topics, noting a few employees
that looked like they were about to nod off and tried to pick up her enthusiasm
a bit. She took a deep breath and said, “I know everyone is here because they
want to get paid…”

A few laughs interrupted her. She smiled. “But we also go a
long way in making life easier for other people. We give them what they need to
feed their families, have social events, whatever. But one kind word to someone
or one rude comment can make all the difference in whether or not their soul
gets fed. A genuine smile can make someone’s day. So think about that as you
see our customers today. I guarantee if you make someone else feel better,
you’ll feel better.”

As the crowd began to disperse off to their duties, Leah
called out, “Don’t forget, if you have questions or need anything at all please
come talk to me, okay!”

There were some murmurs and head nods, then soon Leah found
herself alone in the storeroom…except for Mike. Leah raised her head from her
clipboard notes she was reviewing. “Hi, Mike. Something I can help you with?”

“I just wanted to say, well…” Mike looked away, then at the
floor, then back to Leah. Leah nodded, waiting.

“I’m sorry,” Mike said. “For…you know…over at Rusty’s. And
the jackass car comment I made. You’re okay. Sorry I was a dick.”

Leah smiled. It wasn’t warm and fuzzy but it was a damn good
start.

“I’m not holding anything against you, Mike. And I mean that
in every way possible.”

Mike laughed and nodded, then turned and walked out of the storeroom.
Leah breathed deeply. She recalled something from her management course about
how clean, open relationships are key to successfully managing groups. That
people know when there’s something funky between a manager and an employee.
Leah was now sure that was the truth, as she felt lighter and more capable
after having cleared the air with Mike. Now if she could only get somewhere
with Rusty…

The week after the class passed quickly. Leah was busy
running her group at the store, trying to come up with a speech for her public
speaking class and making as many kickboxing classes as she could manage. She
thought back to her first class and how beaten she was afterward. It made it
all that much better when she skipped out of one feeling sweaty and energized
instead of halfway to the grave.

Arriving home from another round of beating a punching bag
senseless, Leah ran through the shower thinking about the box. It had been too
long—three days. She was ready for whatever Hale was going to throw at her…or
whatever she was going to throw at him. Lately it had been a give and take, with
Leah giving the orders then having Hale turn the tables on her and order her to
her knees. It still made her warm and anxious inside thinking about him. Every
time was different and damn if he didn’t always know what she really wanted.

Leah pulled on some sweats and let her hair air-dry while
she read a chapter for one of her classes. It was boring as hell and her eyes
kept straying to the box. Finally she snapped her book shut and said aloud to
herself, “You can’t repeat a single idea you just read, can you?”

Deciding that her answer was no, Leah moved to her dresser
and pulled down the box. It was alive in her hand. Its energy coursed out of it
and into her palm. Whatever magic it held certainly did have power…maybe even
the power to make your dreams come true. Leah lifted the lid.

There was a sudden dizzying feeling then the familiarity
feeling swept through her again so hard she had to turn around to see if Hale
had suddenly appeared in the room with her. Seeing no one, she set the box back
down on the dresser and waited.

And waited. Leah paced in a small circle. What was he doing?
He’d always been Johnny-on-the-spot when she opened the box. A sudden panic
swept through her that Hale might not show up. Then she heard it.

Bang, bang, bang
!

Leah’s shoulders sagged in relief, then she ran to the door.
Flinging it open, she said, “You scared me…”

Leah’s mouth hung open, her thought completely and utterly
lost as she watched Hale enter her apartment with his customary nod and “hey”
then was followed by another Hale. An identical Hale. A twin. The twin entered
in the same fashion, nodding at her and saying, “Hey.”

Leah pushed the door shut, then leaned back against it to
hold her up. She stared in complete incredulousness at the two Hales.

“You going to be okay?” one of them said.

“You know I like you better conscious,” the other said.

Leah nodded but wasn’t sure she was going to be okay at all.
Two of them? What the hell did he have in mind now? She watched them head into
the kitchen, open a beer and pass it back and forth, taking a few sips each.

Leah staggered into the kitchen, then had to take a seat at
the kitchen table.

“Are you upset?” Hale One asked.

“Or just shocked?” Hale Two followed up.

“Shocked, yes,” Leah said. “How did you…I mean…I guess I
shouldn’t bother asking questions. You never answer them anyway.”

“Sure I do,” Hale Two said. “You just don’t like the
answers.”

Leah shook her head.

“Now,” Hale One handed Leah the beer. “You have a valuable
lesson to learn.”

“I’m breathless to hear it.” Leah took a sip.

“You need to learn how to build a team.”

“Uh-huh,” she said. “How?”

“Well, there’s two of us. Teamwork is important, you know.”

“Jesus Christ.” Leah took a long pull on the beer and set it
down on the table. “You’re really talking about…I mean…the three of us…”

“Of course.”

Leah’s heart fluttered in her chest. Sure, she’d fantasized
about that kind of thing but who actually ever did it? Certainly only people in
low-grade pornos. Or maybe not. Maybe it also covered girls with magic boxes
who were discovering themselves.

“Do you want us to leave?” one of them asked.

“No!” Leah stood. The Hales laughed.

“You seem awfully adamant for someone who could barely stand
when we walked in.”

“I was just taken by surprise.”

“Ah, another lesson you should learn. How not to act
surprised when you’re really about to drop your jaw in shock.”

“And which one of you will teach me that one?”

The Hales looked at each other and shrugged. “Which one do
you want? You’re the boss.”

“Are you both the same?” she asked.

They nodded. Leah let a wicked little grin creep out. “Well,
I like my team members to show some initiative. Come up with creative solutions
on their own and we can decide together if we think it will work.”

“Good,” Hale One said.

“I like it,” Hale Two continued.

“And it’s important to work together for the…most beneficial
outcome,” Leah said, starting to feel her face flush and her heart palpitate at
the ideas forming in her head.

“Good point,” Hale One commented. “After all, while the
overall goal of the team is important, the team members must like each other
and work well together on a single project to be the most…effective.”

Leah thought she might have to sit back down. Her weakening
knees threatened to give out. She looked back and forth from Hale to Hale,
feeling as if the temperature in the room had just shot up ten degrees.

“I suggest we start in the bedroom,” one of them said. “Ease
into it.”

Leah nodded and started walking toward her room. She paused
by the Hales and they moved in toward her. One of them took her hand, raised it
to his mouth and kissed it. The other moved behind her and set his hands on her
waist. He brushed her hair out of the way and kissed her neck.

Leah’s internal temperature surged. Suddenly she had hands
and lips everywhere she had skin. Hands moved up under her shirt and caressed
her breasts. Lips and hot breath crossed her temples and cheeks. She felt her
sweatpants being tugged from both directions.

“Bedroom,” she breathed, and the trio moved out of the
kitchen and toward her room. Her sweatshirt was lifted up off her body. Leah
reached out and grabbed the Hale in front of her, pushing off his jacket and
tugging on his tie. He stood before her, letting her undress him, the small
smirk playing on his lips foreshadowing things to come.

Leah‘s sweatpants were pulled down from behind her. She
stepped out of them, realizing she was now completely nude in a room with two
men in various stages of undress. She shivered with excitement.

The Hale behind her took hold of her hips and pulled her
back to him. He’d been busy while she was undressing the other Hale—her bare
skin met his bare skin as their bodies met. Leah drew in a deep breath. He
reached up from behind her and softly caressed her breasts, then gave her
nipples a light squeeze. Leah leaned her head back onto his shoulder and let
the heat within her build as he taunted and squeezed.

The other Hale was on his knees before her, nudging her
knees apart. He settled in between her legs, then took his tongue to her entrance
with purpose.

“Oh God!” Leah cried out, arching her back and moving her
legs, trying to give him free rein over her folds. The Hale behind her held her
up so much that she almost didn’t have to support herself at all, she just lay
back on him while the other licked her and sucked her.

“Doesn’t it feel good?”

The question in Leah’s ear was more of a spell than an
inquiry. His words weaved through her, sending her already spinning consciousness
into hyperspace. She couldn’t even answer. And why should she? She was certain
he already knew what she would say anyway.

“Don’t you want us to take turns?”

Leah whimpered.

“Or have us both take you at the same time?”

Leah’s orgasm exploded through her, causing her to pitch
forward uncontrollably. One Hale held tight to her, not letting her go
anywhere. She cried out loud, holding the other Hale’s head to her sex as she
erupted.

“I’d say that was a good start,” one of them said.

Leah felt herself being lowered to the floor. She came to
her knees, barely able to hold herself up but already imagining one of those
beautiful cocks penetrating her…maybe both of them.

“Come here, Leah.”

She looked up to see one of the Hales laying on the floor in
front of her, hands resting behind his head like he’d been there all day. Leah
crawled over to him.

“On top,” he said.

Leah straddled him, then reached down and stroked the
significant erection he had waiting for her. Overcome, Leah rubbed her slick pussy
over it, coating it in her juices, then leaned down over the top of him and
kissed him.

Hale pulled his hands out from behind his head and stroked
the side of Leah’s head. He caressed her tongue with his and gently ran his
fingers through her hair.

“Just beautiful,” he whispered, then took Leah’s mouth again
with his.

Leah felt movement behind her, then hands rubbing her rear
end. She released the mouth she was kissing and looked over her shoulder. Hale
smirked at her, giving her that knowing look, then smacked her ass hard.

“Oh!” Leah cried, then looked at him, mouth agape, half feigning
shock. “What was that for?”

“How did it make you feel?”

Leah felt her face redden. It stung, but then the stinging
prickles shot straight into her nether regions, giving her an itch she would
beg to be scratched.

“That good, huh?” He smacked her again.

“Oh shit,” Leah moaned. She needed to be filled.
Immediately. She pulled herself up enough to slide the erection beneath her
close to her opening, then let her body drop over it.

Leah cried out at the immediate sensation of being
overfilled as her flesh began to get what it wanted. Leah moved gently up and
down over the Hale beneath her, while she felt the Hale behind her growing
closer.

Cool, moist fingertips touched her anus. Leah moaned, half
with insatiable desire, begging to be taken both ways by the men of her dreams,
and half with apprehension that she wouldn’t be able to take it. The fingertips
pushed inside her, letting Leah do the work as she fucked the Hale between her
legs. The more they moved within her, the more she wanted. Leah looked down at
Hale, marveling at his perfection, then tossed a glance over her shoulder. “Do
it. Fuck my ass. I want it. I need it.”

“Gladly,” came the whispered reply, followed by the
sensation of a large, moist shaft pushing up against her asshole.

Leah wrapped her legs around Hale’s legs below her to hold
him inside her, then leaned forward, slightly lifting her ass into the air. She
locked eyes with him as the other Hale slowly filled her ass. Leah panted
softly at the incredible sensations that filled her, making the connection with
the man below her while the man behind her divided her in a way that only he
could.
