With his emails now sent off to his top five candidates it was time once again for Ben to wait. Which applicants would be the most eager? Would anyone exhibit any out of the box thinking or creativity? Who would show signs of being willing to go the extra mile to earn the position?<br/><br/>Ok, so although he did in fact send out five emails the reality was that four of the young women were competing for one spot. After reading Amanda's email and seeing her picture, the sexy blonde who he still remembered vividly from lusting after her when he'd had her as a student had already nailed down one of the spots.<br/><br/>Ben didn't have to wait long though to begin hearing back. Little more than an hour after he'd sent out his interview requests he received his first reply. "<b>Excellent, well done Samantha Jones</b>," he said to himself, pleased at her obvious eagerness.<br/><br/><i>My roommate will be out at that time......<br/>
<br/>
No chance of being disturbed....<br/>
<br/>
Which one would you prefer me to be wearing....</i><br/><br/>The more he read of Samantha's email, the more captivated he was with her. But, when he viewed the two pictures she'd attached? His eyes lit up and with a grin he said, "<b>Well, well, well.... look at you Samantha Jones. I believe someone is trying to work her way to the front of the class?"</b><br/><br/>Ben kept both pictures up on his laptop in side by side windows, his gaze going back and forth between them, his mind whirring with fantasies. Eventually he put together another brief email to her:<br/><br/>****************************<br/><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">Hello Samantha,​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">So good to hear from you. I will tell you that yours is the first response I've received back, and I'm impressed by how prepared you are making yourself for your interview. Clearly you're demonstrating the sort of attitude and enthusiasm that I'm looking for so I'm happy to say you're off to a great start!​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">I appreciate your desire to 'dress for success'. Well done on your part with coming up with two great choices. My recommendation would be 'Attachment 2', I think that would help to create a very favorable first impression indeed.​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">I very much look forward to seeing you on Tuesday as well!​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">Ben​</div><br/>*****************************<br/><br/>Over the course of the day he received responses back from the three other contenders for the final spot. All of them were astute enough to have included at least one additional photo, none though were as hot as Samantha or Mandy. One though did catch his attention.<br/><br/><i>Abby Martin</i>.<br/><br/>Her reply included a comment of, "I'm very much looking forward to our phone interview, but in the spirit of being transparent I wanted to tell you something else about myself. I've been putting myself through school working as an exotic dancer at a local gentleman's club. I can understand if that makes you feel uncomfortable in any way but thought you should know. I hope it's not a problem for you, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about it, but I wanted you to know."<br/><br/><i>Well, damn</i>.<br/><br/>Ok, Abby Martin was an attractive girl for sure. But, Samantha Jones? She was a knock-out. As appealing as the image of Abby seductively peeling off her clothes and grinding on his lap was Ben still couldn't get out of his mind what it would be like to have Mandy and Samantha battling it out for his attention. Without a doubt, it would have to be the hottest, most epic competition he'd ever managed to create.<br/><br/>So, pending how the interviews went at the moment it seemed like a three girl race for the two final spots. Mandy in the lead, Samantha in second, with Abby trailing close behind her. It wasn't until the following day that he received his response back from Amanda. As dazzled as he'd been with her initial response and picture, this one absolutely floored him.<br/><br/><i>Mandy Bryce from the front row was now a supermodel? A Victoria's Secret Angel?? <br/>
<br/>
Dear god. <br/>
<br/>
Oh, and she'd even signed it with XOXO? Unbelievable! </i><br/><br/>His fingers were flying on the keyboard, Googling and searching with his jaw nearly hitting the floor. Each picture he found of her seemed to be hotter than the last. Sexy swimsuits. Erotic lingerie. This girl was a living, breathing wet dream!<br/><br/>He'd barely noticed that two hours had passed since opening her email, his hands alternating between searching for more images and stroking the now massive bulge in his shorts. Eventually he forced himself to pull himself away and send a reply back to her.<br/><br/>****************************<br/><br/><div style="margin-left: 20px">Hi Mandy!​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">Wow, look at you! You've sure come a long way since you were sitting in the front row of my class not so long ago. I've had a chance to take a little time to look in to the progress of your career and must admit I've enjoyed seeing your work. Very impressive!​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">So glad to hear the late night scheduling works for you. I've got a very good feeling about you Mandy and am so looking forward to seeing you Tuesday night!​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">​</div><div style="margin-left: 20px">Ben​</div><br/>****************************<br/><br/>On Monday Ben had two interviews, one at 1 p.m., the second at 4 p.m. Although both went well, neither were all that memorable. To be fair though, Tuesday was the day was Ben was most excited about. Sandwiched in between his interviews with Samanthat and Mandy would be an interview with Abby at 5 p.m. Definitely should be a memorable day.<br/><br/>Wanting to convey a calm,<a class="link link--external" href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mead3qUFLW1qawdjao1_400.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">casual appearance</a>Ben put on  a simple white t-shirt and jeans before his 2 p.m. phone interview with Samantha. Rather than sitting at the desk in his home office he sat in the corner of his leather sofa as he dialed her number.<br/><br/>Ben was delighted when he saw that she was indeed wearing the ultra sexy dress, if you could call it that, he'd recommended. He greeted her with a friendly smile.<br/><br/><b>"Well hello Samantha, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've been looking forward to this since I received your initial application. Even moreso after receiving your follow-up. I have to say, I appreciate your approach to the interview process."</b><br/><br/>After making some more small talk, his eyes taking in her gorgeous face and curvy shape, in an attempt to inspire her he dropped in a a few less than subtle comments about her competition.<br/><b><br/>
"You know Samantha, it's funny... I never fail to be fascinated by how diverse the backgrounds are of the young women interested in this position. Take this year for example, the girls you're competing against include an exotic dancer and believe it or not, a supermodel. Amazing, don't you think?"</b><br/><br/>He paused long enough to allow those words to sink in before adding, "<b>But, don't let that intimidate you. I've got a good feeling about you Samantha. You strike me as a young woman who does not back away from a challenge."</b><br/><br/>Leaning back in to the corner of his sofa and stretching, Ben held the phone so that she'd see a glimpse of his flat, toned stomach peeking between his t-shirt and jeans.<b>"So, tell me a little more about yourself. In particular, tell me why you feel like you're the person I'm looking for as one of my two finalists."</b>
