The Boss and I.
"It was nice to meet you, Miss Sweet" my name slides effortlessly off his tongue, his warm hand squeezes mine in a handshake,
"you too, Sir, Mr Penfield" I hope he doesn't feel how hard my hands are shaking through the handshake. He holds his arm out to direct me to the door, my fingers wrap tight around my bag strap over my shoulder and I concentrate on moving one foot in front of the other,
"Miss Sweet" I hear the humour in his voice, my head snaps up to look at him and I notice a small smirk playing on his lips, his piercing crystal blue eyes look straight through my soul.
"yes?" I breathe, quickly tucking my hair behind my ear,
"You did good" he nods, his hand resting on the door handle, "I have a good feeling about you" I breathe out a breath I didn't realise I had been holding, "don't look so nervous" his voice gets lower and I notice his eyes darken, "you'll get them all thinking I had you bent over my desk with that little dress at your hips" with that he opens the door in front of me and I'm left in the doorway like a deer in headlights.
"I'm inexperienced but yes I am a submissive," I replied. "Why?" I followed up suspiciously. "I have something to ask you." He started as he slid his phone back into his pocket. "What?" I squinted my eyes, skeptical of his next question. Did he want to publish my work? If so the answer is a definite no. While I enjoy writing, I really don't think I'm that good at it. Definitely not good enough to get published. He took a step closer, causing my heart to start racing. My first instinct was to flee to the room I'm staying in. With the proximity, I had a feeling he's not going to ask me to publish the book. The way his eyes burned into my soul I felt like he wanted something more. Which is crazy because just 3 weeks ago he told me I disgusted him. That I ruined his appetite just by being near him. Now he's looking at me as if he wants to kiss me. Considering what he said last night, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. The fucked up thing is, I kind of want him to.
"Will you be my submissive?" He asked.
