But I like the way she thinks.

“Um, yes, of course,” she replies, desperately waiting for some guidance. I can tell that she wants to make me happy. She wants to do well. She’s on the edge of her words.

“Bend over my desk,” I order her, and she hesitates momentarily before strutting over to my desk and laying her chest flat on the cherrywood. She outstretches her arms gracefully, almost as if she’s performing a dance.

Is she actually nervous?

I approach her slowly, running my hand down her back and touching the small of her back lightly. She shivers at the touch, tensing the muscles in her legs. Even though I’m doing this all for show, I’m enjoying the performance.

I lift my hand from her back and smack her ass once, hard. She winces and groans slightly, grasping at the edge of the desk.

“You can do better than that,” she says, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. She glances back at me with an impish grin on her face.

Shewasplaying innocent. Now she’s going to try to embarrass me like this? At the worst possible time?

The men in attendance chuckle to themselves at her defiance.

It takes me a moment to contain myself, to prevent myself from overreacting. Even though she’s not familiar with how important this meeting is for me, shedoesknow the gravity of the work I do. It’s the horrid bond between us. It’s the thing that killed her brother.

Is she trying to getmekilled too?

I pull my hand back and smack her harder, just above her pussy. She arches her back, sticking her ass further into the air as she yelps playfully.

“You think I don’t know about your little visit with one of our guests? I know everything. You’re not smarter than me,” I growl, gripping the back of her thigh. “I checked the cameras. I know everything.”

“Harder,” she whispers.

The room falls quiet, and suddenly I feel as though we’re done playing games. She’s adding a level to this interaction that I never intended. It’s something no woman has ever done, and I have no idea what’s going to happen next.

Before I have time to plan my next move, I feel my phone go off. When I unlock the home screen, it’s a text from my uncle.

“Down in 5. Bad news.”

What sort of bad news? I can’t be spanking a woman in front of our guests when something ill is on the horizon. I must gain control of the room before my uncle arrives.

“Get under the desk, Cambria,” I growl, and she glances at me playfully before she realizes that I’m completely serious.

Her face turns white as she lowers herself to the floor, and I can’t help but briefly look down at her crawling on the floor. There’s something about a woman on her hands and knees. Maybe it’s primal, but it makes me feel guilty and impossibly aroused at the same time.

“Josiah will be here any minute. Then we can begin,” I say, quickly returning to an authoritative tone that I don’t quite feel.

Perhaps it was a mistake to bring Cambria in if she’s willing to undermine me like that. Even still, I can’t say I won’t be thinking about it on repeat. First, she kissed me after sucking my cock. Now, she’s trying to humiliate me.

Something’s not right with that girl.

I can nearly feel Cambria shaking under the desk as my uncle Josiah opens the door. His entire demeanor is chillingly calm. He doesn’t care one bit about being late, or that there is bad news coming.

“We’ve run into a problem with one of our suppliers,” he says calmly as every ear in the room waits for instruction.

“What kind of problem?” asks Julien, one of the other bosses.

“We were raided when our shipment came in from Moscow. We don’t know who conducted the raid, and we’ve lost hundreds of thousands,” Josiah replies, maintaining the deathly calm in his voice despite the incredible loss.

“There’s no idea who it was? Really? Nothing?” Demetrius asks.

Josiah turns to him, eyes narrowed. “Did you not hear me correctly the first time, Demetrius?” he asks.

Demetrius shakes his head. “No, I heard you, but how the fuck do we not know who stole our entire shipment?”
