Shifting Paradigms in Corporate Best Practices
Angela is tired of getting kicked around by Chet, the annoying intern whose uncle is a higher-up in the company, making him invulnerable to retaliation.

Aleksandra Karnivosa sat with her feet up on her desk, a lit cigar dangling from her large black lips. The beefy, muscular bear's pelt was thick, though mostly covered up by the white blouse, suit coat, and skirt she wore, both coat and skirt in traditional navy blue. A half-filled glass of scotch dangled from her right paw as she held a phone to her ear, listening half-heartedly to the conference call.
The big bear's chest rose and fell slowly. Despite purchasing larger clothes, there was little in the way of office attire for someone of her size, and the buttons on the blouse constantly threatened to pop off under the strain of containing her heavy chest. She wiggled her feet, clad in smart, low-heeled black shoes. Smoke drifted towards the ceiling as she waited for the conference call to come to a close. Everything important had been decided already; it was at the stage where everyone was just waiting for the regular blowhards to finish pontificating and hang up the damn phone already.
Aleks dropped her feet to the floor and leaned over the desk to stab at the mute button.
"Angela!" she shouted.
The door to her office opened a few minutes later. A short and pudgy white rabbit with brown splotches of fur on her forehead, arms, and legs peeked into the brown bear's room. It was a nice office in the corner, with several large windows looking out over the skyline of the city below. The floor was carpeted in rich brown, the desk was mahogany, and there were paintings of forest landscapes on the walls in bronze frames. Two large red leather chairs sat on the other side of the desk from the bear.
"Y... yes, ma'am?" the bunny stammered. She'd been working for Aleks for almost a month now, but the big bear still intimidated her.
Aleks noticed and shook her head. "Sorry for shouting, Angela. Not mad at you." She waggled the receiver. "These morons can't stop talking. Anyways, I need you to run to the shop and get me a box of cigars. You know the kind I like."
Angela nodded. Smoking cigars wasn't something many people did anymore, especially females, but Aleks pulled it off. The bunny had harbored something of a crush on the masculine bear since she'd started working for her, but hadn't spoken of it to anyone. Her nose twitched, smelling the sweet scent of the cigar currently burning between the bear's lips.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll get right on it. Is there anything else?"
"Might as well get me another bottle of scotch as well," Aleks grumbled. "Going to be a long day, if this call is anything to go by." The bear's finger flashed over to the mute button. "Yes, sir, I'm here. I completely agree, we should definitely keep an eye on those markets..."
Aleks rolled her eyes at Angela and grinned. The rabbit couldn't help but smile back and quickly ducked out of the room. She closed the door and turned around without looking, running straight into Chet.
Chet was a tall and lanky cheetah who thought he ought to have a better job than he did. The chip on his shoulder, plus his natural haughtiness, made him into a first-class office jackass. By bumping into him, Angela knocked several binders out of his paws. He growled at her as she bent over to help pick them up.
"Look where you're going!" he snarled. "Idiot."
Angela pushed the binders into the cheetah's arms. The feline was just an intern, but acted like he owned the place. It didn't help he was a relation of one of the presidents of some division or another. It made him pretty much untouchable, which only allowed his negative behavior to continue. He was always obsequious around his superiors, but if you were a secretary, he could be a brat.
"Sorry," Angela mumbled, before fleeing down the hallway. She'd cooled off somewhat by the time she took the elevator down to the ground floor, but fumed during the cab ride downtown. Traffic wasn't particularly bad, so she was able to run the errands for her boss and get back within two hours. The rabbit smoothed out her skirt and blouse with one paw and held the brown paper bag with the scotch and cigars in it with the other during the elevator ride back upstairs.
Unfortunately, she didn't make it back to Aleks's office without incident. Chet spied her walking down the hallway between the cubicles in the central room and stuck his foot out, tripping her. The rabbit cried out as she tumbled onto the floor. The scotch bottle didn't break, but the box of cigars spilled open, tumbling the expensive smokes across the tiles.
Chet laughed as Angela crawled around trying to find all the cigars, some of which rolled into neighboring cubicles and under desks and tables. The cheetah's laughter cut off abruptly, however, when a loud voice spoke up behind him.
"Enjoying yourself, intern?"
Chet whirled around. Aleks had her hands on her hips and an angry look on her face.
"Uh... no?" he said, trying to sound confident.
"Maybe you should help Angela instead of laughing at her?" the bear suggested, though from the tone of her voice, it was clear it wasn't a suggestion.
"Whatever," Chet mumbled. "Not my fault she's a klutz."
The feline stooped over and picked up on cigar. He tossed it towards the open box on the floor near Angela lazily, then stood and walked to another. This one barely made it halfway to the box. Aleks shook her head.
"Angela, please come to my office when you've picked everything up."
The bunny nodded, head down with embarrassment. As soon as Aleks left, Chet laughed and walked off, probably to go back to the break room where he spent most of his time avoiding work.
The rabbit felt like crying. She was working hard and doing her best. Why was Chet such a jerk? She'd never done anything to him. And it wasn't just Angela... she'd seen him torment other secretaries and even the delivery drivers who came in to drop off packages. He'd sent one poor guy to four different floors before finally admitting he'd got it right the first try.
The rabbit carefully arranged the cigars back in the box and closed it, then carried it carefully in one paw, bag with bottle in the other, and headed for Aleks's office. At least the bear didn't seem scared of Chet's connections. Aleks was tough. Angela wanted to be like her, but the little rabbit didn't have the self-confidence the cigar-chomping, scotch-sipping, badass brown bear did.
Angela knocked at the door to Aleks's office.
"Come in!"
The white rabbit did so, smiling at Aleks as she dropped the packages off on her desk. Aleks leaned back in her chair. Her cigar was out, merely a stub now, and she switched it from one corner of her muzzle to the other as she regarded the rabbit with a savvy eye.
"Is there anything else?" Angela asked, suddenly nervous from the bear's attention.
"Have a seat."
Aleks waited for Angela before continuing.
"So. Chet's an asshole, huh?"
Angela laughed loudly. She hadn't heard anyone talk about the cheetah like that. Even if people couldn't stand him, they'd sing his praises because of his uncle.
"Yeah, I guess," she said.
Aleks stood and opened the bottle of scotch as she walked towards the window, where a small bar service set waited. She poured scotch into a pair of matching glasses, added a bit of water, and returned to the desk. After setting down a glass in front of Angela, the big bear eased herself into her chair and leaned back to take a sip.
"Ahh... that's good," Aleks said. "Do you drink scotch, Angela?"
The rabbit picked up the glass and sniffed the potent alcohol. "No..."
"Swirl it around the glass a bit. Get your nose in there. Then take a small sip and swallow slowly."
Angela did as the bear suggested and coughed, eyes watering. Aleks grinned.
"Don't worry, sometimes it takes a little getting used to."
Angela smiled and set the glass down, unsure if she wanted any more. It did give her a nice warm feeling in her belly, but then again, drinking at work was, for a secretary at least, probably against the rules.
Aleks tossed the stub of her cigar into the small black can next to her desk and reached for the cigar box. She opened it up and offered one to Angela, who hesitantly took it. Angela watched as the brown bear expertly snipped off the tip of her cigar with a cigar cutter, then stuck it between her lips and struck a match, all in one seamless movement. Smoke billowed towards the ceiling as the bear got the cigar going. She slid the cutter and match book across the desk to Angela before leaning back in her chair, puffing happily away as she waited for the rabbit to join her.
Angela nervously snipped the cigar and fumbled with the matchbook, but eventually figured things out and got it lit after three matches. She coughed a few times, eyes watering again.
"First time?" Aleks asked.
Angela nodded and coughed again.
"Don't worry. I have a feeling you'll learn to love them."
Angela grinned. She really did like Aleks. She'd never been offered scotch and a cigar before, but the bear had always been friendly. The rabbit held her cigar like Aleks did, emulating the bear's finger motions, and took a few more puffs. She took another sip of scotch as well and found it more palatable.
Aleks watched the rabbit from across the table, a sly smile on her thick lips. Smoke quickly filled the room as both cigars burned merrily away. They talked as they drank as well, spending the next couple hours chatting, smoking, and drinking. Angela didn't realize how late it was until she glanced out the window. It was dark out, well past quitting time.
Aleks didn't seem to mind. The big bear grinned and poured them fresh glasses.
"So, Angela... what are your ambitions at this company?"
The rabbit paused. The secretary job had been a big step up for her. She hadn't really thought much about what would come after.
"I... I guess I don't know. I hadn't thought about it," she said. Another sip of scotch, and then she kept going. "I mean, I'd like to get promoted some day."
"You've been here... what, five years?" Aleks asked.
"Yeah."
"You're a terrific secretary, you know. Conscientious, on-time, and eager to help."
Angela blushed. "Thank you."
"Of course, you tend to let people push you around."
The rabbit's ears swiveled. Her head jerked up and she growled. "That's not going to happen anymore."
Aleks smiled as Angela paused, confused at her sudden outburst. Where had that come from?
"Oh?" the bear murmured, glass hovering in front of her muzzle.
"Yeah... I mean... yeah!" Angela said, voice growing stronger. "It's time I stood up for myself. Especially around Chet. What a rude... mean... as... asshole!"
Saying the word out loud made Angela feel even better. The buzz from the scotch was kicking in and the sweetly scented smoke in the air felt cozy and warm. She grinned at Aleks and took a larger sip of scotch.
"No more Mrs. Nice Rabbit!" she said with some firmness.
"Good for you."
Angela grinned and scratched at her shoulder. Her blouse was tight and warm, but it was probably just from a long day. The rabbit leaned back in the red leather chair and kicked her legs up on the desk, emulating Aleks's posture. The bear just smiled.
They didn't talk for a while. There was no need. They simply drank and smoked, though Angela found her clothing increasingly tight and warm. She was soon panting slightly between sips of scotch and tugging at her skirt and top. Her breasts felt swollen and ached, especially around the nipples. She clamped the cigar between her lips and grinned at Aleks. She did feel better. The bear exuded a natural sort of confidence. Maybe it was catching.
Angela panted harder as her shirt stretched over her chest. Something was catching the rabbit, that was growing increasingly clear. Aleks simply smiled and puffed as she watched her secretary's figure thicken up. Her white pelt was soft and smooth, but coarsened some as the fur grew out longer. Her neck expanded into her larger shoulders as she got taller, adding on several inches in height.
"Is it hot in here?" Angela asked. She blushed as the top button of her shirt pinged off, flying over to the corner. Plush white chest fur spilled out between the buttons and the collar.
"I think it's just you," Aleks murmured, still smiling. "How do you feel?"
Angela growled under her breath again and blew a puff of smoke from her cigar towards the ceiling.
"Better. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Aleks's grin turned into a knowing smirk as the rabbit's body kept growing. Her pudgy belly hardened and her long, thick legs strained the skirt strapped around them. To top it all off, a bulge appeared between her legs. Angela growled again and leaned back, arms lifting overhead. She clasped her fingers together around the back of her neck and puffed away as more buttons popped free on her shirt, enough that her now generous cleavage spilled out, barely held in by a bra that was several cups too small now. The lacy pink undergarment seemed strangely out of place on the rabbit's growing, muscular body.
"I should put Chet into his place," Angela said, her voice deeper than before. "Show him I'm not going to take his crap anymore. He needs to learn some respect."
The bulge in the front of the rabbit's skirt thickened up noticeably.
"Mm-hmm," Aleks said.
"Really show him who the boss is! I mean, I report to you, he reports to me, right?"
"That's right."
Angela's ill-fitting clothes strained to contain her body. Her arms had thickened considerably, giving her powerful biceps. Her core was tough and toned, and her long legs more squat and powerful. She was built almost the same as Aleks was by now.
The big brown bear stood and walked around her desk. Angela grinned and leaned back as the boss leaned down and over. A burly paw closed around the rabbit's growing chest as their lips met. Neither bothered removing their cigar first, simply leaving them in the corners of their muzzles as they kissed.
Angela growled as Aleks's paw pulled down her bra. The bear's thumb caressed her nipples, stroking around it in small, tight circles. Without thinking, Angela stuck her paw out, between Aleks's legs. Pushing up under the bear's skirt, she found a heavy pair of nuts dangling in some underwear. Aleks growled right back as the rabbit's firm grip squeezed the heavy balls, massaging them with long and thick fingers.
Before long, Angela was on the desk, on her belly. Her heavy breasts flattened against the wood as Aleks stepped up behind her. The bear's long claws hiked up her secretary's skirt, revealing a pair of pink panties that matched her bra. They were pulled laughably tight by a thick maleness, which hung down against the side of the desk. Angela groaned lustily as Aleks pulled the panties down and wrapped her paw around the thick shaft.
The bear's tented skirt was the next article of clothing to go. Aleks, with increasing urgency, pulled it down, letting her fat maleness rise high into the air. Angela looked over her shoulder and growled encouragingly as she saw just how hung the bear was. It didn't bother her, of course - what was a rough pounding between friends after sharing a scotch?
Aleks leaned forward, slipping her thickness along the rabbit's fluffy, wispy tail. Her rump was hard and firm, especially under Aleks's rough groping. Angela pushed back, eager for more, lit cigar still dangling from her lips. The bear teased her dark red length between Angela's cheeks, rubbing the tip along her exposed lips, but the rabbit shook her hips and made another of those rough, growling noises.
"Quit fucking around and stick it in already!"
Aleks growled right back and did just that. The big bear shoved forward heavily, grunting as her length sunk deeply into the rabbit's wet pussy. Angela gripped the edge of the desk, moaning with pleasure, as the bear set up a rapid, heavy, and lustful rhythm. This wasn't gentle lovemaking... this was downright dirty fucking. Angela's new cock slapped against the side of the desk and her heavy nuts bounced up and down as the bear pumped forward, in and out. Aleks leaned over and ran her paws up the rabbit's midsection, eventually reaching around to cup her white-furred breasts. Angela spread her legs further apart and lifted her chest as the bears fingers squeezed her aching nipples. Her chest was larger now, probably DD-cups at least, and felt wonderfully full and heavy as they hung from her chest into the bears claws.
Both bear and rabbit growled at each other as they kept going. The desk creaked under their weight as Aleks pumped in hard and heavy, rapid fire, going all the way to the hilt before drawing back nearly the entire way. Angela panted, tongue hanging out, encouraging the bear with all sorts of un-ladylike words.
Aleks got a handful of Angela's hair and pulled. The rabbit moaned as she curled her backside upwards, pushing even more firmly onto the big bear's thick cock. They kept going another few minutes before Aleks pulled free, roughly, and flipped Angela over onto her backside.
Without skipping a beat, Angela reached for the bear as she climbed up onto the desk. Aleks's dripping cock leaked profusely over the rabbit's breasts. The bear's hips dropped down. The rabbit used a paw to guide herself in. Her thick maleness flexed, feeling so wonderfully hot and fat in her paw. Aleks was so tight, too, as she clenched around the pole, milking it with her wet feminine sex. The bear's paws pressed firmly down into Angela's chest as she bounced her hips, knees straddling the rabbit's hips.
Angela grinned and blew smoke into the bear's face as they fucked on the desk. Aleks grinned right back and pushed down hard, working the rabbit's stiffness deep. Angela was well-hung, just an inch or so smaller than the brown bear, whose own cock was smacking up and down across the rabbit's hard, flat belly.
The desk protested as their bodies slammed together roughly. Angela's short claws grasped the bear's hips firmly, pulling her down against her each time she thrust upwards. Aleks leaned up, sitting straight down on the bunny's bulge, and grabbed her cock with her paw.
Both muscular herms cried out as they came in unison. Aleks's shaft shot thick jets of bear cream across Angela's heavy tits, soaking down the bunny's fur. Meanwhile, beneath the bear, white seed dripped from her aching pussy, down around the thick stalk stuffed inside, and into Angela's sheath and balls.
Aleks groaned as Angela's paws squeezed her hips, keeping them down tight to her own body, until she was satisfied the bear had milked out every last drop. A paw went to the ursine's shaft after a few minutes, giving the half-hard length a few nice, firm squeezes. Aleks shuddered as a few aftershocks of her simultaneous orgasms swept through her, then growled down at Angela.
"You know, there's a position opening up in the internship development program that I think you'd be perfect for," Aleks said.
The big bear squeezed, clenching around the stiff stalk stuffed up her pussy.
"Sounds like a promotion to me," Angela said. "When can I start?"
"Tomorrow okay? You'll have to spend the night working here with me on the paperwork, but I think we can get it done."
The bear grinned. She should have been in HR, not marketing.

The next morning, Chet arrived at work late, as usual. He strolled through the cubicles on his floor, ignoring everyone and everything. A pair of oversized headphones sat around his ears and he barely paid attention as he walked into the break room. Rather than finding it empty, though, he found Angela.
Or at least, he thought it was Angela. The white rabbit was huge and muscular, easily a foot and a half taller than him. She looked like that crazy bitch, what's her name, Aleksandra, who made him pick up those cigars yesterday. She'd been lucky he hadn't gotten her fired for that.
"What do you want?" he sneered, leaving his headphones on. Angela sat at the table, swishing a glass of scotch with one paw.
The rabbit didn't speak or even look at Chet until the cheetah took his headphones off.
"What the fuck do you want?" he said again, hostility evident in his voice.
The rabbit smiled and stood. "I just came down to tell you that I've been put in charge of internship development," she said. Her large body moved between Chet and the door, which she closed and locked behind her. "You're now going to be working underneath me."
"What? My uncle has that job!"
"Your uncle was transferred to our overseas division," Angela said smoothly. The masculine rabbit leaned forward, a vicious smile on her face. A huge paw wrapped around the back of Chet's head.
The cheetah gulped nervously as he felt something stiff and long poke him in the belly. The rabbit lifted a paw in front of her cigar and snapped her fingers, striking a match and lighting the stogie. She blew warm smoke into Chet's face and grinned even more widely as the feline coughed.
"By the way, Chet... I can almost guarantee you'll be getting overtime this week," she said. "You're going to put in some long and hard hours by the time I'm done with you..."
The end.
