I understood the political stance of New Englandia, but that didn’t mean I liked it. Here, it seemed the people were simply surviving and not living their lives. With a sigh, I glanced at the clock.
Naomi was working hard. In the few days I’d been here, she’d come home after ten o’clock, exhausted and weary from her day. It was already seven and the two of us were scheduled to meet her security team in the morning, right before we boarded a plane to take us into the southwest.
I pulled my comm out of my pocket and dialed Naomi. It beeped a few times as it initiated a connection.
She picked up on the second ring.
“Naomi,” I said first.
“Ryker,” she answered.
“You will come home at a reasonable hour tonight, Naomi,” I said firmly, and I heard the sharp intake of air on the other line.
“But I… there’s so much to do,” she answered quickly.
“There are plenty of capable people that work with you at the museum. Everything will be alright when you’re gone,” I reassured her.
“I don’t know,” she murmured. I could practically feel her pouting, which only made my cock that much harder.
“You will finish what you’re doing and then you will make your way home like a good girl. Do you understand me, little girl?”
She was quiet for a long moment.
“If you are not here within an hour, I will come get you myself,” I continued. I didn’t need to tell her what would happen if she disobeyed me. I hope that she wouldn’t. I didn’t want to have to punish her on the night before we left.
I was leaving the choice up to her.
“Yes, sir,” she finally breathed.
“I’m looking forward to seeing you very soon.”
“Me too,” she answered, and I could have sworn her tone of voice had somehow turned lighter. Much to my surprise, she walked through her front door about forty-five minutes later. There was the slightest hint of a blush staining her cheeks.
“There’s my good girl,” I exclaimed.
Her cheeks only burned brighter.
CHAPTER5
Naomi
When Ryker had first called me at work, I’d been annoyed that he thought he could throw his weight around, but the more I thought about it, the less it bothered me. In fact, it was sweet in a way. I’d been working really hard to finalize several projects before my departure and I was exhausted. Not even a cup of coffee was enough to keep me going at this point.
I’d had several espressos today to make up for it. It had worked, somewhat.
The only thing that had woken me up was the uncertainty of what would happen should I disobey him. Then I couldn’t stop the sordid thoughts of what we’d done together. The way he’d touched me. The way he’d made me come.
I closed my eyes. The image of his belt lying there in front of my face was so vividly painted in my memory that I almost felt like I could reach out and touch it.
I squirmed in my chair, unable to concentrate. I glanced at the clock and back at the endless spreadsheet on my screen, before finally calling it a night. I saved my file and shut everything down. I took a moment to look back into my office before I walked out the door.
Tomorrow, I was going to leave my home for the first time. My whole life was about to change. I was excited and nervous and afraid all at the same time, but knowing Ryker was going to be by my side the whole way was somehow comforting.
I shut the door behind me and waved to the security staff before I left. Then I walked home more quickly than I usually did.
I checked my watch. Less than an hour. Good.
I didn’t want to test Ryker’s patience. I wasn’t sure what to make of him. The other night had been intensely hot, and I was certain that it was for him too. Was he always like that? Was it real or was it all pretend, an extravagant role play maybe?
