Everything is Better Now

Chapter 3

I spent as much time as possible the next day at my workspace. Any attempt to retrieve a copy, use the restroom, or peer through her window would be met with her eyes on me. Not that I don't like her eyes on me, but the 'OH MY GOD A HOT LADY LIKES ME' part of me is freaking the hell out.

I did my best to work, but everything was all over the place. I kept thinking back to last night, her pillow fluff lips and the way her hands felt on me. Whew. It was a constant loop in my head, until I thought over to her proposition.

Her submissive.

How terrible would it be to look into it on my work computer? I probably shouldn't. I'm pretty sure they monitor our searches. I know a bit about it though.

I figure I know a bit about it anyway. I am a curious person who translates content for a living, people write some freaky shit sometimes. It's probably just surface knowledge.

Speaking of translating content, I was getting pretty behind. Behind meaning, I had barely translated a paragraph over the past three.

Instead of wasting time, I choked down my nerves and knocked on her door.

"Come in," her sultry voice answered. She watched me as we walked through the door. "Carter, I was wondering when you would walk through my door. As of yet, you've been content in watching me."

"Sorry, Ms. Charles. I wanted to talk to you about what you asked me last night." I barely heard myself over the rush in my ears.

"Of course, darling. Have a seat and we'll talk." She sent a smile my way as I lowered myself to sit. I could feel my heart thud against the inside of my rib cage.

"What did you want to ask me, dear. Make sure you speak up so I can hear you, I wouldn't want to miss a thing."

"You were really direct l-last night," I cleared my throat. "I-i just wanted to make sure I heard you right."

"I am sure you did darling, but allow me to repeat myself." She shifted to sit straighter in her chair, though I'm not sure much has changed. "I want you. I see every move you make, Carter. From the way you speak to the way, you bounce around the room. Every bit of you, and I want it all."

"Wow, uh, so that's great and all but what do you mean by submissive. I mean I think I know a little bit. I had to translate an article a few weeks ago about it, but I don't think I learned as much as I want. Especially now," I could feel myself spiraling, but why to stop now. "I definitely would have studied about this more If I'd seen this coming, but then again how much can we really see coming as humans. We are no more cognizant of the future than any other living creature."

"Okay, wow. That was a lot, Carter." She takes a second, smiling at me. "So you want to know what I meant by submissive?"

I nodded.

"Let's start here. I exercise control with everything I apply myself to. That control extends to any relationship I have however permanent it may be. I want to be with you and for that to happen, I need to be in control. " She licks her lips and smiles at me.

"Y-yeah. That's cool. For sure. I've never done a-anything with you know p-people."

"I don't think I asked darling. However, I take no issue with your lack of experience. If you are feeling apprehensive we can take it one step at a time. Slowly."

"Like a trial membership?" I asked simply.

"Yes, darling, like a trial membership." She chuckled deep in her chest. Last time I had a trial membership they started charging me after a week. Those things are crazy hard to cancel and even when you think you are done with them they sneak back in! Its some crazy stuff man.
