Pouring us both the ever-present whiskey, I nod toward the couch.
“Make yourself at home, baby, this is how things work around here.”
Ripping off my tie, I know she is trying to look anywhere but at me and so I say firmly, “Look at me when I’m speaking to you.”
She reluctantly drags her eyes to mine and I smile.
“Better. Now, Holly, during the day you work your ass off, proving to yourself and everyone around you why you wanted that job so badly. Make it count and suck up the shit they throw at you and learn. I expect nothing less of you and want you to learn the business so you can be the best. Then, we return here and you follow a different set of instructions. You agreed to be my submissive, to be controlled by me, and it’s exactly what the word implies. I control you. We enjoy a mutually satisfactory relationship, but it’s a business one and never forget that. I will treat you well and you will not want for a thing, but I must make it clear that emotion is not part of the deal. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good. Now we must eat, you must be hungry, so I’ll show you to your room where you will find your clothes waiting for you.”
I reach out and take her hand and pull her up and then lead her to the part of the apartment she will call hers.
“In here is your bedroom, and the closet leads into the bathroom. If you need anything, charge it to my account. A card is on its way as we speak. I expect you to be available to me when I call and you get one day off a week. But there will be no other men. No dates after work, despite how innocent they make them sound. No friends over and no hobbies. You will be contactable at all times and I expect you to honor your agreement. You will sleep here at night and only when I have finished with you.”
I look around the room and congratulate my designer on making it look pretty. Unlike my own room, this one is feminine, with its white drapes and bedding and pretty pink cushions. A woman’s wet dream in every way and I know Holly will come to love it here.
Turning my attention back to her, I say happily, “You will have the use of my driver to go shopping if you need anything and I will assign you protection to keep you safe.”
“Protection?” She looks confused, and I shrug. “There are a lot of mad bastards out there, Holly, who want to make a name for themselves. Being with me makes you a target. I’m sorry. What can I say, shit happens.”
Walking into her closet, I reach for a black strapless silk dress and smile. “Wear this to dinner with no underwear and those black heels you love so much. You have thirty minutes.”
Without a backward glance, I leave her to do as I say and congratulate myself on the perfect arrangement for us both.
