16 - That's My Sweet Boy

Jared's new apartment was finally finished. Tyler opened the doors to a large condo. In the center was a large flat screen TV, the living room had a very modern yet comfortable couch put together with two matching extras on each side and a coffee table in the middle. Glass stairs led to the bedrooms, and the walls were adorned with tasteful paintings.

"I'm sorry for making you wait, and I'm sure living in a hotel must've been quite uncomfortable. But, now at least your new apartment is ready...... Well, what do you think?" Tyler asked his silent mate.

"It is perfect for us both." Jared answered smiling.

"Us?" Tyler blushed and caught himself when his mate gave him a pout that made him look very adorable.

"Yes. That is if you wish to move in with me?" Jared moved closer as he talked and looked directly at the shorter man. Taking the other man's chin in his hand he asked seriously, "You're with me, yes?"

Tyler's eyes teared up and the look on his face was pure joy.

Jared smiled. "I'll take that as a yes."

Tyler raised up on his feet and kissed Jared sweetly. "Thank you."

"I am just happy that I'll have you to myself when you come home. You are still Polverini Corp's employee, for now that is, but soon after the term is up you're mine completely." Jared stepped back a little as he talked and had a smug look on his face daring the green eyed man to argue with him.

"About that... When I went to report the periodic tables, last week, I informed Manager Polverini of my aim to resign. Before that I talked to President Welling, as well. He didn't object.. As of the end of this month, I'm leaving Polverini Corp."

"Hmph.. 'bout damn time."

"I apologize for the inconveniences that I caused until now."

"You better be! I went through all this hardship valiantly. You should be grateful to your kind and lenient soon to be boss."

'Lenient my sweet ass... You complain worse than some little kid...' Tyler thought sarcastically.

Jared's eyes lit up and before Tyler could react Jared grabbed him tightly dragged him over to their couch where he yanked Tyler over his lap. "I am going to thoroughly enjoy this, my Sweet Boy."

"Jared..."

"Quiet." Jared yanks down Tyler pants and reveals his bare ass. "Sweet ass indeed." Jared raises his open hand and brings it down on Tyler's ass, making an echo that rings throughout the entire Penthouse. Tyler let out a little, whimper. Jared raises his hand again and spanks his ass again. Tyler shouts out in pain. He spanks him again and again and again and again. He keeps going until his ass is bright red. "Maybe next time you will not refer me to a 'little child.' Do... I... Make... Myself... Clear?" Each word emphasized with a resounding smack more painful than the last.

Whimpering Tyler squeezes Jared's pants leg. "Yes, Sir."

"Now why don't we go and make use of our new bed." Jared says hefting Tyler up in his arms and carrying off through their new home.

Later the next day they arrived at Polverini HQ. Tyler was surrounded by his former coworkers. Tears were shed, hugs were spread, and everyone merely treated him warmly. He could still see the sadness in some of their eyes though. He strolled around the place. Memories of his first day, what he'd learned here, and all the kind people he'd befriended. A tear rolled down his eye. He loved this place, but he knew that there was someone he even treasured more. Tyler wiped the tear away and had a resolute expression on his face. Quickly, he walked to Jeff's - Jared's older brother and Manager of the company - office and knocked.
