Owning Desire – by Nikki Prince #3
Sterling had allowed Ryder to watch on several occasions and, at times, join in. He wasn’t going to share Desiree fully if he ever did, but having Ryder watch and perhaps touch in some ways was doable.
“I’d wondered when you’d ask.’
“Well?” Ryder’s grin was wide, and he waggled his eyebrows.
“Are you sure you want her to see you in that light?”
“Man, she’s gorgeous, but I wouldn’t step on your territory if you didn’t want me to.”
“I know. Yes, I’m going to let you watch and perhaps even do some touching.” He trusted Ryder wholeheartedly. “Knowing Desiree, she’ll like being watched and won’t protest much, if at all. I’ve already told her anything I ask, there will be no questions asked, or the deal is off.”
“She knows that you saw her at the club?”
“Yes, I made sure she knew. She was questioning the fact that I thought she was beautiful. It’s a shame that she doesn’t see already how lovely she is.”
“Sounds as if someone did a number on her.”
“I’m thinking a few someone’s had a hand in that, but I plan to remedy that. She’s going to be mine and I refuse to let her go.”
“She’s a wonderful fit for you, man.”
“Yes, yes, she is. I’m planning on showing her that among other things.
Damn, man, if you’d been at the club that night, you’d see what I mean.
She was dressed in a leather skirt and corset that molded to her form so well and made my damn mouth water.
Her damn silhouette alone made me hard as a fucking rock.
None of the covering up that she usually does.
From now on I’m going to make sure that she feels desired. She’s, my Desire.”
He couldn’t fight the urge to close his eyes to remember how she looked. He only opened them when Ryder cleared his throat.
“I can see that …,” Ryder chuckled.
Sterling got up and strolled over to the small refrigerator in a corner of the room near a large, picturesque window that overlooked the downtown area.
He’d purposefully had his office built facing the city.
He loved being in the center of it all. Opening it he pulled out a bottle of water to wet his dry throat.
What he really wanted was a stiff drink so that he could take the edge off from wanting Desiree.
“She gave me the opportunity that I needed to take what I wanted.”
“That she did. Though I’ve always wondered why you made her your secretary in the first place with all the mistakes that she makes. Most of them have been minor. She’ll learn. She’s twenty-five to my forty-four and I’m dying to teach her.”
Sterling had first noticed Desiree, or Desire, as he liked to call her in private when she’d first come to work for the company and had started in the administrative assistant pool.
His older secretary had retired, and when it came time to pick someone, he couldn’t resist picking her.
Was it one of the wisest choices? Probably not, as there were probably women there with more experience than she had, but the dominant in him had wanted to train her to his specifications.
She’d been getting better, and then the Geary report had happened.
“You have to realize she may not bend to your will so easily.”
“I’ve had opportunities to observe her where you haven’t.
I’m confident in what her answer will be.
” He smiled over at Ryder and then opened his water to quench his thirst. He knew the only thing that would cure his need for Desiree was to have her again and again.
He wouldn’t believe that her answer would be no.
He’d seen her at office functions as well as the time he’d found her at the Fetish club.
That had been a wonderful surprise and confirmed for him that she was indeed of submissive bent.
“I love her and want to cherish her.”
He turned away to look out the window and heard Ryder move to stand next to him at the window.
“Bro, I know you do, and here’s to hoping that your dream will come true.”
“Thanks, you want some water?” He held up the bottle of water and showed it to Ryder.
“No that’s okay. I’d rather have a beer, so I’ll wait until we head out to lunch for that.”
“She’s the submissive for me, Ry.”
“Dude, you don’t have to convince me. You have to convince her.”
“I’m not prepared to back out of this.”
“I can see that, so you continue in this vein, and I have your back. I’ll be there tomorrow morning when she comes.”
“It’s early that I asked her to come, you sure you’re up to being there at seven in the morning?”
Sterling knew Ryder was a late sleeper on the weekends as he partied hard.
“For this, Sterling, my ass will be up at the butt crack of dawn.”
Both men laughed.
“I asked her to come to my house without panties on.”
“Hmm, think she will?”
“She’s been told to follow my orders. So, I think she will.”
“I seem to remember someone who thought she was too innocent.”
Sterling smirked, “That was because she was twenty when I first saw her.”
“Well, now she’s twenty-six and ripe for the picking?”
He nodded his head. “I’m going to ease her into everything: foreplay, lube, and the use of toys. I’m going to also spank her. She loved seeing that at the club. I have a spanking horse set up in my playroom just for her.”
“Ah, the girl is up for some very fun times.”
“Fun times indeed.”
Though he knew that Ryder would be there as a watcher and a partial participant in touching her.
It didn’t negate what he felt about her.
Desiree was a keeper and different from any of the relationships that Sterling had ever had.
He’d never gotten married as he’d never found a woman that he could call his in all ways that mattered.
He was convinced he’d found it in Desiree.
Ryder was like a brother to Sterling, and he knew the other man had his back in all ways including this.
This was his lifestyle in as much as it was hers.
It had thrilled him to find out that she was as intrigued with the lifestyle he was.
“Were you able to work out a deal with Geary for me?” Ryder had stayed behind to talk with the owner of the resorts while Sterling had headed back to town and to the office to deal with what had happened with Desiree.
As he asked that question, he looked at the other man and saw the confidence in the lawyer’s eyes.
“I was able to talk him off the ledge, so to speak, and back into our camp. There will have to be some concessions as he feels we wasted his time on purpose.”
“Understood, so we basically have to work our asses off since Tim is being a hard ass?’
“That’s the way of it. He wants to make you sweat, but with a bit of finagling on our part, everything will go smoothly.”
“Thanks, man.” He smiled over at Ryder who gave him a shrug.
“I know we’re friends, but it is what you pay me for.”
“True, and as always, you do a wonderful job.”
“Flattery will get you everywhere Sterling. Now do you want me to call in another secretary to help you today, or?”
Sterling looked at his watch. “No, I’ll be alright for the day. Besides, we have a golf game that we set up in a little over an hour, seeing as we knew we would be back in town.
Ryder glanced at his watch as well. “That’s right, I almost forgot about that in all the excitement to get here and see what happened.”
Sterling chuckled, “Yes I knew you wouldn’t be able to wait.”
“Before I forget, you never answered Desiree when she asked if anything could be done about the Geary account.”
“I know, I’ll let her know tomorrow that we’re waiting for Tim to play along.
” He drank back the rest of his water and then tossed the empty water bottle into the trash next to the fridge.
“Now I’m about to head deep into paperwork and get some things signed that Desiree set on my desk after I left last Friday so that I’ll be all caught up to kick your ass on the course. ”
He held out his hand, and Ryder grasped it firmly. They shook hands and then leaned forward to clasp each other in a hug. Once they were done, Ryder gave him a crooked grin.
“Are we making any bets on this game?”
“Don’t we always?” Sterling countered.
“True, we usually do, just making sure you’re not trying to wuss out on me.”
“Since when do I chicken out on anything?” He rolled his eyes at Ryder.
“Fuck that’s right you’ve won the last five games we’ve played.” Ryder groused.
“Mhmm … and I plan to win again today.” Sterling laughed as Ryder punched him in the shower. “Ow!” Fuck Ry!” He rubbed his shoulder.
“That’s to knock that smugness off your face, you ass.” Ryder had already retreated quickly towards the door. “See you at the course; I have to go do some things before then, so I won’t be riding with you.”
“No problem, bro, remember that’s a lucky shot …”
“That is also the truth; I couldn’t resist seeing as you were off guard. Catch you later.”
Sterling watched as Ryder walked out the door, then headed back to his desk to finish the paperwork that needed to be signed before he did anything else. Tomorrow would be an important day for Desiree and also for him, and he planned to see it through at all costs.
Desiree had been up since four in the morning trying to figure out if she’d made the right decision concerning her boss.
She hadn’t slept that well, tossing and turning all night when she’d finally fallen asleep.
She’d always wanted to find the right Dom, but she’d never thought that it would be her boss who was looking to fill that position.
The thought of Sterling taking care of all her needs was intoxicating.
However, she still had trepidation about what would happen when he got tired of her.
She couldn’t help but wonder if she was just the new flavor of the week.
It had finally sunk in that he wanted her now.
She could either go with it or tell him no.
Though no wasn’t going to be an option, she was going through with it.
