[Lams][Yours]

It was Monday morning. Alexander was dreading going into work, but he knew he had no real reason not to. Other than the fact that his boss, John Laurens, had run into him at a BDSM party Friday night. They had locked eyes for a brief moment before his boss had left, not saying a single thing to Alexander, and he was unsure if he would try to bring it up during today, and the worst part would be the meeting that morning. It would be before He could explain anything, and while they’d both been in the ame embarrassing place, seeing one of your employees tied up and being face fucked by some random guy might not be the best image to have.

Taking a deep breath Alex walked through the front door, his head down as he made his way to his office, sighing in relief at not seeing John on the way there.He was safe then, but what about later during the meeting both had to attend? It would be awkward as hell.

Unfortunately and fortunately, John knocked on Alex’s office door. He wouldn’t be able to avoid talking about it apparently. With a sigh, he opened the door, looking up to him, unsure what John now saw when he looked at him. He was dressed professionally, nothing of his activities showing, but yet he knew his boss would also know of the marks on the backs of his thighs, and the rope burn on his wrists. 

“Alexander, do you have a moment to speak before the meeting?” His boss asked formally. “I would like to discuss some more, err- Personal matters.” He said simply, Alex understanding and only hoping he wouldn’t be fired. 

“Yes, of course.” Alex told him, straightening up.

“Great, follow me to my office please.” John told him, turning and walking to his office, not once looking if Alexander was following. When they arrived, John closed the door, geturing for Alex to sit as he made his way to the other side of the desk.

Nervously, Alex listened and sat across from him, chewing his cheek. “Before I say anything further, I feel I should preface this to say your job isn't in any danger and I don’t intend to tell anyone. Your life outside of work doesn’t affect your work performance and that’s the important thing.”

Letting out a sigh in relief, Alex looked to him. “Thank you… I apologise you saw me in… such a state, though I do guess that was the point of that meeting.” He said, trying to keep things professional.

John was now doing the opposite, offering him a small smirk. “I had some thinking time and I had a bit of a… proposition of you will.”

Alex raised a brow. Now he was intrigued. “And what is this offer?” He asked, John smiling.

“Since I’m sure we both find it difficult to find time for those, ah, meetings, while still maintaining a healthy work schedule, I had the thought to help each other in that sense. You don’t have to accept and we can forget this ever happened if it makes you uncomfortable, but I figured I could at least lay out an offer.” He smiled softly to Alexander, who paused for a moment to think.

While it was with his boss, it did sound nice to have someone to turn to when he needed to let out his frustrations whenever, and the thought of it possibly leaking into the office did excite him and entice him more than he’d like to admit. The kicker though, would be the availability. They had pretty much the same schedule for work, so any off work activities would be easy to plan. He had never found a partner like that before who would be able to be there as much.

“I think I may just have to accept. There’s a lot to discuss, would we be able to talk sometime today? I have a light day, so I’ll be available throughout the day.” Alex smiled back, John giving him a nod. “Will do.” 

…

Alex spent the entire day anticipating the conversation. He didn't know what would take so long, but just as the last person aside from the pair left, John emailed him to come to his office. Alex smiled. He could tell now exactly why John had waited so long. Now they could discuss without the fear of someone overhearing, and they were still in a neutral place.
