ain. Cain was everywhere. I wanted him in every waking moment, but our busy schedules kept us apart for most of the day. But it was not going to stop me. Knowing that his visit at work had taken me by surprise, Cain was now calling me to ensure that I was ready for him.
Paperwork and bills for work were getting left by the wayside. The moment he had xnished with his classes for the evening, Cain was knocking on my door. Then he was up again and gone before the sun had risen the neMt day. Ey body ached, but it was all part of the reward. Wvery moment spent with him was not time wasted.
The days were passing in rapid succession, but the more time I spent with Cain, the more the hours spent without him seemed emptier. Hork was work, but he was everything else and I was trying to draw a line between the two with increasing diAculty. I was glad he was disciplined, because I was not. It meant that the time we had together was special, and we could still go about our lives. But this man had sunk his claws into me, and if I even thought about eMtracting them, I hated thinking about the scars that they would leave behind.

It was not ?ust the seM though. Cain was meeting me halfway, coming to the table with every aspect of my life. Hhen he rocked up at my door, he was a most welcome addition to the day, making me smile and stripping away any worries that I had. Hhilst there was not a lot in my life that was outside of my control, Cain was still there, being a rock for me. I sat on the couch, my laptop where it usually found myself warming my thighs.
I had the TY on, blaring away as I always did at this time of night. It was nice being able to ?ust watch something in the background whilst I worked away. There were always things to do for the clinic. Oespite being the business owner, I still had a million and one ?obs that all needed to be done yesterday. It had not helped that Cain had taken up most of my time yesterday, as well as what little remained of my mental capacity.
The invoice that was crying out to be paid on the screen in front of me, was ?ust a random combination of numbers and letters that held no meaning to me. Rowever, the sooner I got it done, the sooner I could put my laptop away and be done with work for the night. I glanced up at the clock that hung above the kitchen counter and sighed. Cain was due to xnish with classes for the night at any minute. Hould the phone ringq
Re had still been coy when it had come to his punishment. Horking at the physio tables since Cain had taken me on it had not been the same. Wvery time I took a client into the working rooms, I stared at them di6erently. Sot only could I imagine myself being spread over one, but I could picture Cain standing behind me as well. Sow when I worked with a client, all I could imagine was Cain, and frankly, it was distracting. The man was ruining me, whether it was intentional or not. Uet knowing what I knew of him, it was very much intentional. Dnd there was nothing I could do about it.
The minutes dragged by and the invoice was still not making any sense in my brain. Row could this man have had such an e6ect on my brainq The wine that I had in my hand, may not have been helping the situation, but at least I was not going to be doing any worse. I s“uinted at the screen, making

sure that I was not making any mistakes. There was nobody that was going to check this for me and my livelihood depended upon it. I checked over the invoice one xnal time before I pressed submit, praying that I had not fucked it up.
Sow knowing the fact that the invoice had been paid, I could relaM, at least a little bit. There was at least nothing that was due until tomorrow. I could have forgotten something that had to go tonight. 7sually, Tammy would pick up things and throw them at me xrst thing if I forgot overnight and it was ?ust another thing that I was grateful for with her.
8he had still not let me live down the fact that I was sleeping with Cain Gfucking’ Heaver on the other hand. That was something that would go away eventually, given enough time. Tammy was still pressing me for details, trying to work out ?ust what we had done. 8he was as thirsty as a camel in a desert. Thankfully she did not have access to the security cameras that were around the clinic, and that reminded me I needed to check on the footage.
I sighed as I opened up my security login and remotely logged into the computers at work. If I had not been the only one with access to them, I probably would not have done what I did. Cain had me forgetting eMactly where I was and who I was at that moment in time. Nemembering the password was diAcult due to the infre“uency of which I checked the cameras, but one two-step authentication notixcation later and I was in.
There was no need to scroll a long way through the playback that I still had on xle. The cameras dumped their memory once every month, only recording when there was someone inside the clinic or ?ust outside it. The particular date that I wanted was ?ust within the storage date, and I clicked on the recording from that day. I fast forwarded to closing time, when Tammy had seen Cain coming towards the building.
I saw myself move out into the reception area, tell Tammy to go home, and then I approached Cain. Hatching back on the security cameras was odd. I was seeing a third person perspective into my life, ?ust how I remembered it. The speed at which it had happened on the other hand was new to me. Row had it been so “uick to happen yet felt like it had taken so long for our lips to press together.
I watched as Cain pinned me up against the wall and then carried me to the backrooms. I was reliving every moment and every touch that Cain had put upon my body. !oosebumps ran down my spine as I started watching, from the moment that he laid me down on the table and from the moment his cock was venturing closer to me. Ey hand snaked down between my legs. It was so fucking good for me to watch. It had felt like it had been ages in the moment, as he built me up, and even on the less-than-ideal “uality of the security camera, I could feel the very orgasm that Cain had denied me.
Ds I kept watching, I sipped my wine, my hand placed between my thighs. Hatching Cain use me was eMhilarating and as I continued to touch myself to the sight of it, I lost myself in the xlm. Ey legs were beginning to shake, but then ?ust as I felt my stomach tighten, I heard a knock at my door. I groaned in frustration, as it interrupted my Low. There was no notixcation on my phone that my food delivery was nearby, so I wondered who it was. Curious, I took my hand out of my pants and stood up, pressing pause on the laptop and leaving my wine on the co6ee table alongside the laptop.
I crossed the living room towards the front door and turned on the light that was above the front porch. Sot knowing who was outside, I Lung open the door and gasped. To my surprise, there was a familiar xgure waiting for me outside. It was Cain. Ey voice caught in my throat. Re held another bottle of wine in his hand and a white plastic bag. Hhat had I done to deserve this treatq It was a Hednesday night, and I had done nothing special to Cain. Ris knee was coming along well, and I was sure that he was almost ready to return to full training. Cain held the plastic bag up alongside the bottle, making sure I could see it in the dim orange light that glowed from behind me.

GRi. Can I come inq’
I did not want to appear too eMcited for him and merely leaned back from the door with a smile on my face. G1f course, but only if you bring that with you.’
GI would hate to come empty handed. Uou know that I would never leave you unfulxlled.’
I backed away from the door and gestured for Cain to come inside. Re passed through ?ust underneath the door frame, and I felt my pulse “uicken as he stepped inside. I still was wondering what I had done to deserve this, or if this was a strange way for him to introduce his punishment to me. Keeping me on edge was bad enough, but now that he was seeing me in this setting without an invitation, made me wonder ?ust what he had planned.
GUou been busy tonight, Dliciaq’
GDlways, you know that work never stops, Cain.’
GHell, this might help then.’
Cain gestured with the plastic bag, its thin material stretched taut around the sharp corners of what looked like takeout containers, and the bottle of merlot that caught the dim light. I smiled as he placed them on the co6ee table with a soft thud, the condensation from the chilled wine leaving a small dark circle on the worn wood. Cain moved around behind the co6ee table, his broad shoulders rolling beneath his xtted shirt dark, and lowered himself onto my second-hand sofa with a creak of springs that seemed to echo in the “uiet room.
GHhat were you watchingq’
1h fuck. I had not closed the security cameras o6, not realising that the person knocking at my door could have been Cain. Cain sat himself down on the couch, and his eyes shifted towards the laptop screen ?ust before I managed to slam it shut. Re took one look at the wine glass that was on the co6ee table, and one look at me. D smirk slid over Cainzs lips as he put two and two together.
GDlicia. Hhat were you watchingq’
GSothing2 It was nothing2’
GThat doesnzt sound like nothing to me. et me see.’
I did not want Cain to see what I had been watching, but his command was my wish. Hith my xngers shaking, I raised the lid of the laptop, still not wanting him to see what I had been en?oying myself to only moments ago. Cainzs smirk told me he was very interested in it and he had some idea of what I had been doing. The blue laptop screen illuminated my living room, and I was mortixed by Cainzs neMt instruction.
G!o on. og in.’
GI donzt want to.’
GOo as youzre told.’
GUes, sir.’
I had never had this much trouble logging into my computer before. Hhy was it underneath Cainzs gae that I felt uneasy. Re was literally the other sub?ect in the video that I had been watching. Hhy did I feel shame with him looking over my shoulderq I typed my password incorrectly the xrst time, and then the second. Cainzs breath was hot against my neck, even though he was not looking at my keyboard, I was still feeling the pressure from him. 1n the third attempt, the screen unlocked and Cain turned his attention to it.
Re paused for a moment and moved his hand towards the mousepad. Cain hovered over the play button and then with a momentzs hesitation pressed it. Re raised his eyebrow at me, as he watched the video playback.
GRow many times have you watched thisq’
GThis is ?ust the one time, Cain.’
GDre you lying to meq’
I shook my head, not wanting to disappoint him. This had been a spur of the decision, but I was still wondering why the fuck he was here. GSo, Cain.’
Cain shifted closer to me on the couch. Re was raising his hand towards my throat, and I wondered if this was part of the punishment that he had planned. GHhat did you sayq’
G8orry, sir. It wonzt happen again.’
GHonzt itq’
GSo, sir. Hhat do you want to do to meq’
Cainzs lips curled and his face paused close to mine. GThatzs for me to know and you to xnd out.’
GHhat do you want, sirq’
Cain shifted away from me and back towards the gifts that he had brought. GIzm ready to eat and have a nice night with you.’
GD nice nightq Oonzt you want to punish meq’
GSo, that will come later, Dlicia. Patience.’
Cain reached over again towards the laptop and pressed the paused button. The video paused on the part where he was pulling out of me and dragging me around the table so that he could use me. Hhy had he paused it thereq Cain folded the laptop down and reached towards the plastic bag and wine bottle.
GDre we going to eat with our bare handsq’
GSo, I can grab us a fork.’
G!ood.’
I leapt up from the couch and shot towards the kitchen. I dove into the cupboards, retrieving the cutlery we needed, along with two wine glasses. Cain had retrieved the food from within the bag and cracked open the xrst container. The rich smell of Chinese chicken wafted into my nostrils, and I knew that I was going to be eating well. Cain was yet to disappoint. I returned to the couch with the cutlery and Cain cracked open the wine bottle, taking the xrst glass in his hand, swirling it around.
Hith the food distributed between us, I surveyed the feast. There was everything from steaming dumplings glistening with oil, to thick noodles tangled with vegetables, and chunks of caramelied meat that perfumed

the air with garlic and spice. Ey stomach tightened in anticipation, already surrendering to the inevitable food coma that would claim me before the night was through. Cain raised his glass and I did the same in response.
GCheers.’
He clinked the glasses together and drank, and I was curious. Hhilst we had been to dinner before, this was an entirely di6erent setting, and I was starting to grow comfortable around Cain. I lowered my glass as I looked into his eyes.
G8o, Cain.’
GUes, baby girlq’
I froe, Lustered. Wvery damn time. GTell me something about you that I donzt already know.’
GHhat do you want to knowq’
GDnything, Cain. There is still so much about you that I still donzt know. Uou are a mystery to me.’
GI think itzs better to keep it that way, donzt youq’
GI want to know.’
D grumble escaped Cainzs chest, and he moved his hand placing it on my thigh. Cain shifted on the couch beside me, his eyes catching in the dim light of the glowing lamp behind me. Re looked even more chiselled than usual and his ?awline protruding with the shadow giving it a xne edge. Ris short stubble framed his face, and I wanted to kiss him all over and stop eating. The food was only secondary to Cain. 8omething told me tonight would be di6erent as we started to devour the food before us, but his hesitation had me intrigued.
GI donzt think you want to know that much about me, Dlicia.’
GIzm asking Cain.’
Cainzs hand shifted up my leg and I felt myself draw back. G8oon, baby girl. etzs ?ust en?oy tonight. Uouzre not ready to know my deepest, darkest secrets yet.’
I knew better than to press for more information, especially in this setting. If Cain was asking me not to probe him, I would respect his privacy. Re was right. He were still not that far removed from ?ust the professional relationship we had and if Cain put a boundary in place, I would respect it. Hith the food on the table, and knowing how hungry I was, I wanted to dive into it. Picking up a fork, I licked my lips, wondering what new Lavours Cain had brought for me to en?oy.
