Mariska is in her fourties. As far as I can remember, she's always been my father's personnal assistant. For years, the pretty brunette has been my ultimate fantasy. I know I should be interested in girls my age but I can't help it, I've always been attracted to older and more experienced women. My only problem is that I'm too shy to express my feelings, I'm too scared that she will reject me. I'm sure that under her strict outfit, she's hiding a perfect body and that she is well versed into the pleasures of the flesh. I guess that if I had told my father about my fantasy, he would have never offered me an intership in his company and ask me to help Mariska in her daily duties.
