The Other Dominant

Chapter 2

She walks over to the bar and motions for the bartender to come over to where he is seated and takes a seat next to him. "I'll have two of whatever he's drinking" pointing to his empty glass and giving him a wink.

The bartender comes back with two glasses of bourbon on the rocks and lays it on the counter. Payton hands him a glass and introduces herself, 'A man as delicious looking as you should not drink alone, I'm Pay-' 'Payton Alexander, I know who you are. Queen of the corporate world, the talk of the town with a secret desire that makes you insatiable , I've been expecting you' he interrupts. She looks at him with a puzzled expression, 'Have we met?' 'No, I believe not. I do believe you were in acquaintance with an old colleague of mine, Martin Brand, he was your sub if I'm not mistaken, I'm Grayson Haddler by the way.'

Payton couldn't believe her ears, she had never felt so dumbstruck in all her life, let alone a stranger knowing her secret, the feeling of losing her power all to a man she just met. 'Grayson, what a catchy name. Remind me again how you have come to know of me?'

'Yes, there has been talk of your many talented ways among those that have encountered the privilege of being in your company. I don't believe they know the implications of spilling such juicy details, but none the less, it has been far more interesting seeing you here tonight. Judging from the look on your face, your skin is begging to be kissed by more than the moonlight and all I want to do is drink you like this Irish whiskey' he says as leans closer whisper in her ear.

"Im sure the crowd wouldn't appreciate the voyeurism of our actions in public, meet me at my penthouse tomorrow at 8 and don't forget who's in charge." She says as she walks away retreating to her table ready to leave.

The next day Payton feels anxious about meeting Grayson. There was something that made him seem striking that she didn't quite figure out. Apart from wanting to take control of him she wanted nothing more than to dive deeper, he seemed to be as deep as a river and she was determined to get to the pit.

She decided on a red Ellie Saab lace dress that complimented her figure perfectly and added attention to her revealing cleavage. There was nothing sexier than a woman in sky high Louboutins to get a mans attention as her mother would say and tonight she was doing just that. She finished off her look with a simple pair of Cartier diamond studs and a messy up do. She looked radiant and she knew it and couldnt wait to get her hands on the sexy stud that was about to enter her apartment doors.

It wasnt long after that she heard the doorbell ring and there stood the man she had been longing for all day dressed in a blue dress shirt and simple jeans accompanied by her favourite champagne and an extravagant flower arrangement of red roses and white lilies. who knew the mysterious Grayson Haddler had a romantic side, I must say im quite impressed although I dont deem it fit considering the way I handle business. I find these flowers to be the prerogative of my intention here tonight and hope that you enjoy them as much as I do. He says.

Payton takes the flowers from him and motions for him to come in. He takes in the apartment and is dumbstruck by how beautiful it is with its decorated walls of artwork, exported from all over the world no doubt and takes a seat on the luxurious cream coloured sofa. This place looks wonderful, just what the mood requires. He says as she takes a seat next to him. Thank you, I do enjoy fine artwork, although I would enjoy you more. Grayson wakes up and gets the champagne from the table and pours them each a glass. They raise their glasses in a toast, a toast to new acquaintances.
