He smacked my ass and I jolted only to be yanked back down to his mouth.

“Sir!” I cried out. I looked down at him, his eyes on me, ecstasy clear in his gaze.

It was his look that did me in.

I came, my arms burning from gripping the weights, my legs from the strain and when I was done, I collapsed, sagged against him. He licked me down, delicious tremors trembling through my veins and moved me to his chest. My head fell to my arm and I looked down at him.

His grin. His eyes. My wetness on his lips.

“Hi,” I said, shyly. I was exposed, so close to him and vulnerable. Not a position I enjoyed. “Good morning.”

He shifted me to his lap and sat up, his hard cock pressed against my backside. “My turn. Get on your knees.”

Jesus. Flushed and burning from him already, there was nothing more I wanted.

I dropped to my knees, pushed his legs further apart and grinned up at him. “Yes, sir. Anything you say, Mr. Ashby.”

He cupped the side of my face and grinned. “Sassy sub. Now get to work.”

I obeyed immediately, took him in my mouth and tasted him, swallowed him deep in my throat like I knew he liked.

And when he came down my throat, I took him all with one word ringing in my head.

Mine.

Bennett propped his hip on the bathroom counter and took a sip of his coffee. After his workout, we showered and quickly dressed for work. We didn’t often drive to work together, at my request, one he surprisingly allowed. I still liked to pretend no one in the office knew we were together, although I highly suspected everyone did.

I didn’t exactly care. I still liked the appearance of propriety.

I finished pouring coffee into a Contiga cup and screwed on the cap. “Steven and I are meeting with Jakobs to finalize plans for the ground-breaking ceremony.”

When I took the position with Bennett, my first task was to hire a new assistant. Steven became the assistant to both of us and he was invaluable. Only a few years younger than me, he was also married to a petite little redhead who was eight months pregnant with their second child.

I loved how much he loved his wife.

Bennett hated him for always staring at my ass.

I loved Bennett’s paranoid jealousy. Still, he liked how efficient Steven was. He might have been better than me although I’d never tell Bennett I thought that.

He’d turned me over his knee and spank my ass for not recognizing how invaluable I was to him.

On second thought... I scratched a mental to-do list over my lunch hour, one that would end with me being turned over Bennett’s knee in his office and grinned.

“Dinner tonight with Simon and Chloe okay?” He was staring at his phone, clicking on the screen with this thumb. “He wants to have his mind taken off the state championship game coming up next week.”

“Sure.” An idea popped into my mind. I’d questioned it for weeks, knew Bennett would be okay without ever going back, but after two months with him, I was more than curious. We played a lot. Our lovemaking grew more spectacular every week. I’d allowed the spreader bar, plugs, nipple clamps, blindfolds, tied. No matter what Bennett did to me, I loved every moment with him. So, now, it was time to give him everything I knew he wanted. I sipped my coffee, hoping it was infused with courage. “Perhaps after dinner we can go to Luminous.”

His head snapped up, thumb froze on his screen. “Excuse me?”

I tried for blasé and failed. My nerves were as tight as a live wire. “I think you heard me.”

“You want that?” he said, stepping toward me. “You sure?”

I set my coffee on the counter and settled my hands at his hips when he reached me. Rolling to my toes, I kissed his throat. “Don’t you know, Bennett? I want everything from you. I love you.”

Warm breath brushed against my cheek right before his lips landed on mine. “Say it again,” he growled, his lips still on mine.
