Page 10 of The Boss
At 4:55 I went to the washroom and brushed my teeth.Then I knocked on Maxwell’s door, opened it, and entered.He was behind his desk, his head bent over a file.I stood there silently and waited, trying to control my anxiety that increased with every passing minute.
Finally, Maxwell looked up.“Did you forget our appointment, Mr.Marshall?It’s 5:03.”
Forget?It was all I’d thought about since this morning.“No, Sir.I --”
“I don’t like excuses.Do it again and I’ll punish you.”
Relax,I told myself.Break a few rules.I looked down and mumbled.“I should be so lucky.”
Maxwell’s eyes widened with surprise.“What did you say?”
He stood and rounded the desk until he was directly in front of me.Oh shit!Maybe I’d loosened up too much, but it was too late to stop now.Maxwell was so close we were almost touching.I inhaled his scent and it intoxicated me.I swallowed hard.My mouth was so dry, I found it hard to speak.
“I expect an answer when I ask you a question.”
His gaze burned into mine.Before I could stop myself, I pressed my lips to his, so hard I almost knocked him over.I don’t know who was more surprised, him or me.Fireworks went off, just as I’d imagined they would.I pushed my tongue against the seam of his mouth, wanting to explore inside, but he pulled back.
“That mouth will get you in serious trouble.”
Had I gone too far?Nervously, I looked up, but his expression gave lie to his words.The desire I saw in his eyes made me bold.“I’m counting on it.”

I hadn’t expected a kiss.The intimacy of it stunned me.It was a big move for Aaron.He was becoming more open with me, and I loved it, but I had to take control back.Frowning, I ignored the satisfaction building up inside me.“You’ll be counting the number of swats on your ass, my boy.It’s the Dom’s place to initiate contact and I didn’t say you could kiss me.”
“Did you like it?”
“Very much.But that’s not the point.It’s about time you learned who’s the boss.”
“I want to learn, Sir.Teach me.”Aaron had a touch of pleading in his voice.I almost creamed my pants.
“So you like the idea of being my submissive?”
Aaron’s lips creased in a seductive smile.“I like it as much as you like the idea of being my Dom.”
The cheeky little brat.Something had changed over the weekend.Maybe Aaron was the right man for me.Brats got a bad rap among some Doms, but I loved a partner who would flirt and spar with me so I was willing to play along.To a point.Besides, I was curious.Was Aaron acting bratty to get a punishment?Or something else?Sex?I had to admit I was turned on by the prospect of fucking him.Our last session had only been a teaser for me.Maybe it had been for him, too.Well, I’d find out soon enough.
“Shall I tell you what I’d like?”I didn’t wait for an answer.“I’d like to punish you for your insolence.I’d like to tie you to my bed and flog that pretty ass of yours until it’s red.”
“Yes, I’d like that, too.”
My pulse sped up in anticipation of playing with him, and the images in my head made my cock hard.His new attitude intrigued me.“I didn’t ask you, boy.Punishment means taking you on as a sub and I’m not sure I want to train a man who flies off the handle so easily.What do you have to say for yourself?”
“What’s the big deal?So I didn’t get the joke.”
I closed in on Aaron’s personal space and my adrenaline flowed as I took control.“You’ve crossed a line, Mr.Marshall.”
Chapter Six
Aaron
Shit.Shit.Shit.I’d promised myself I wouldn’t be defensive, but as soon as the situation got more intense, I couldn’t help myself.My mouth was quicker than my brain.Is this where he fires me, or at the very least, tells me from now on our relationship will be strictly business?I can’t blame him if he’s annoyed by my attitude.Why would he even consider taking on a sub like me when he could have anyone he wanted?
I gripped the edge of the desk and averted my eyes.
Maxwell’s voice lost any lightness.“Look at me.”
