Owning Desire – by Nikki Prince #2
Though this wasn’t dating he was proposing, was it?
It sounded as if it would be pure unadulterated fucking if the look in the man’s eyes were anything to go on.
Was that what he wanted from her? The novelty and it would be a novelty given the fact that she’d seen his past women of fucking the big girl.
Her brain went crazy over all the possibilities, and she sat there looking at him.
“Desiree …”
His voice cut into her musing, and she blinked, bringing her attention back to him. The way he said her name always made her melt.
“I heard what you said and I …” She paused before blurting out, “You have to be crazy to ask me that! How can I possibly work for you if we did this?”
“And I heard what you said about having responsibilities. If you need to keep this job you know what you must do to keep it. What I am asking for are my terms.”
His terms. The funny part was that she wasn’t averse to his terms at all.
He’d made himself very clear about what she needed to do to keep her job.
She should hate him for what he was asking, but she didn’t.
She’d wanted him for a long time, and this would be killing two birds with one stone.
College for her sisters and assuaging her need for him.
“Being mine will require you to give yourself over to me completely and with full trust. I want your trust and your body.”
“My my … body?” God, it was hard to even believe she was having this conversation with him. His words attacked all her insecurities about herself.
“Yes, your beautiful body. I wish to train you to realize just how beautiful you are.”
Train her? Right, that’s what one did when they had a submissive. He’d just called her beautiful. Excitement uncoiled low in her belly. No, don’t get sidetracked; this can’t be happening.
“But … how can you even ask that of me? It’s not allowed … it’s …”
Was it truly harassment if she wanted it? Had dreamed about it? Though she wasn’t currently practicing the lifestyle she knew what he was asking of her. She’d become so disillusioned in the lifestyle of wanna-be Dom’s. Wait! How did he even know she had a connection to that lifestyle?
“Wrong?” He finished her sentence for her.
“Not if you want this too.” The smile he gave her was wicked.
“I’ve seen how you look at me. You want me just as much as I want you.
Also, if you’re wondering how I could possibly know that you know about the lifestyle, I saw you at the club about a month ago. ”
Desiree felt her face heat up when he mentioned seeing her at the club.
Club Fet-kink. She hadn’t realized he’d seen her there.
She’d always thought she was keeping her lifestyle on the down low.
The club wasn’t in town; in fact, it was several hours away.
She’d gone on a holiday weekend; it had been a treat to herself.
She had thought she’d gone far enough away from her everyday life.
She’d been so fascinated and had lived through all the other people while she was there.
“If you want me so badly, why are you just telling me?”
“You watched as I spanked the other woman, and you enjoyed every little bit of it. If memory serves me, you stayed for every little bit of it as I burned her ass with a paddle. I expect you thought I wouldn’t recognize you because of the way you dressed that night. But I’d recognize you anywhere.”
“I … I …” She really couldn’t protest. He was right; she’d been awestruck seeing him spank the other woman’s ass.
The other woman had been strapped to a spanking horse and wearing a spank skirt.
Desiree had never wanted to be anyone more.
Her panties were thoroughly soaked now. It had been so delicious watching him with the other woman.
She’d stood back behind the crowd that had formed off to the side, thinking she hadn’t been seen.
Her days and nights hadn’t been the same since seeing her boss there in that type of situation.
She’d always thought of him as a dominant personality, but that night had proved its truth.
She shivered as Sterling stroked his finger over her cheek, startling her back out of her daydream. His touch set a path of heat along her skin.
“You wanted me then, and you want me now; why fight the obvious?”
She was about to protest and tell him she didn’t want him. That wasn’t the truth. Hell, she dreamed about him all the time, so much so it felt like an obsession. The thought of having the freedom to do what she’d dreamed of with him without being able to deny him was as scary as it was thrilling.
“What if you don’t like me being your Sub?”
“I don’t think that will be a problem, Desiree, but to ease your mind, if that happens, you will be safe from demotion as you would have completed your end of the bargain. I’m giving you till tomorrow to decide.”
“But Mr. McKenna, tomorrow is Saturday and that’s only giving me one day to think this over. Besides the fact that tomorrow is a non-workday.”
“Exactly, one day. Seeing as I’m giving you just one day, you can take the rest of today off to think things over. I want you to meet me at my house tomorrow bright and early with my answer. With it being Saturday we won’t have to worry about being disturbed by anyone else.”
“Sir, you can’t be serious,” she argued.
“Do I look like I’m joking Desiree?”
No, he didn’t look as if he was joking. He looked so dead serious she could tell he’d thought long and hard about what he’d do to her.
She needed her job, but to basically be his plaything?
She was pretty sure she was half in love with him already.
Could she be what he wanted and keep from losing her heart completely?
Would she be able to have a purely professional relationship with him after having had sex with him?
She bit her lip and realized she was just staring at him.
“Do I have you totally speechless, Desiree?”
She was prompted to speak when his words sunk in. “Since when are you attracted to me? I mean, you can’t want me; I am nothing like the women you’ve been with.”
She looked down at herself and then back up at him as if to say, see?
“Really and you know that for a fact how? Do you think I’d want you as my submissive and not be attracted to you physically or mentally? Let me assure you, I want you.” Sterling raised a black brow at her in an expression that told her she was entirely wrong in her assumption.
“Well, I guess … it’s because you’ve never shown an inkling that you …,” she sighed.
“Craved you?” He finished for her. “I can assure you that I do. If you make the choice to be mine tomorrow, you will be at my home at seven in the morning, and you will be pantyless beneath your skirt. You will knock on my door to announce that you’ve arrived, and you will be prompt.
Those are your first orders; the others will follow once you arrive.
Now I suggest you go ahead and go home for the rest of the day before I bend you over this desk and show you exactly how much I want you. ”
Desiree watched him rise as if to get up.
She squeaked, jumping up from her chair and running out of the office.
The last thing she heard was his laughter following her down the hall.
She made it to her desk in no time, turning off everything, grabbing her things, and heading to the elevator.
It seemed as if the elevator took forever to get to the parking structure that was attached to the building.
Her mind was frantic, she had one day to make the biggest decision of her life.
On one hand, if she did what he asked, she’d have her job and could continue to keep her sisters in the comfort they were used to.
On the other hand, if she did what he asked, she’d lose her heart.
She ran her hand through her braids as she stood in the elevator.
How in the hell was she going to decide in one day was beyond her.
Several hours later, he heard a knock on his office door.
His longtime friend and the lawyer for his company, Ryder Yoshida, walked in and sat in the very chair that Desiree had vacated hours earlier.
They’d been friends for a long time, since their first year of college.
Ryder was the only one that Sterling let get close.
“I can see by your satisfied smile that you’ve talked to Desiree.”
“Yes, you’d be correct in that assumption.”
“And?” Ryder questioned.
Sterling played along. “And what?”
“Tell me what happened and if you think she will go along with your plan?”
“I’ve given her till tomorrow to let me know what her answer will be to my proposition.
I’ll let her know as well that, for me, it isn’t just about sex; I want to cherish her and show her how beautiful she is.
She mentioned having responsibilities. From the checks that I had done on her the only responsibilities she has is her younger sisters. ”
He’d done his homework. He wanted her, and he intended to have her, so he had to make sure that all bases were covered.
Perhaps that made him a ruthless bastard for taking what he wanted, then he’d just have to be that bastard.
He’d found out she was the sisters’ sole support and provider since the death of their mother.
She’d taken odd jobs here and there and sometimes worked two jobs until she’d landed the position at his company.
“Is she meeting you here or . . .?”
“I’ve asked her to meet me at my house. I think it’s much more conducive to our needs than being here at work would be. Although, I’m going to have to make sure to fuck her here in the office once or twice because I’ve imagined her lying across my desk and on display.”
Ryder laughed. “Knowing you, Sterling, it will be more than once or twice.”
Sterling grinned, “Yes you’re right.” He shrugged his shoulders. “She has a freaky streak in her and I want to cultivate it.”
“Am I going to get to watch?”
