William bent forward until he was halfway cradling her in the chair. “I love you and your brother unconditionally. I don’t care if you’re gay or straight, or anything else. I just want you to be happy. Okay?”
She let out a sound somewhere in between a sob and a hiccup as she nodded. I hadn’t realized it, but I had started crying too. I wiped away the tears that spilled down my cheeks and lowered my head, doing my best to give them some privacy.
After another minute or two, she ran out of tears, and William stepped away. He smiled at me, filled with warmth.
“On another day I’d like to talk with you more, Marina, if you don’t mind.”
“I’d like that.”
He patted the top of Daphne’s head. “I think there are some documents I need to sign at the office, so I’ll head out. Save me some time this week and I’ll arrange a dinner - for all of us - Oliver and Ben included.”
We both managed to nod. He gave me a final smile, then turned and left.
Once he was gone Daphne came around the table and swung herself over to sit in my lap. I wrapped my arms around her as she buried her head in my neck. I didn’t say anything, just smoothed a hand up and down her back until she was ready.
Eventually, she calmed down and rested her cheek against my shoulder. “Did that scare you away?”
I almost laughed. “Not a chance.”
She trailed a finger across my collarbone, tracing invisible designs into my skin. “You know, I’m different when I’m not working.”
“Oh?”
“I can be stubborn, and childish. And demanding. Can you really put up with all that?”
“I look forward to it.”
Daphne went quiet for a moment, then in a small voice said, “I’ll never let you go, and I can be a lot to handle. Will you still want me after all that?”
I inhaled deeply, breathing in the smell of her. Strawberry body wash with a hint of coffee. “I’m already yours, Ms. Calloway. I’ll take you as you are, and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
It was a vow I intended to keep, and I was going to spend the rest of my life seeing it through.
A Contract
“Youcan’tbeserious.”Daphne kept her voice down, even though no one could hear us with her office door closed.
“You know I am.”
We were in a battle of wills and Daphne still hadn’t realized I was going to win. The point of contention sat on her desk between us, the orange silicone bright against the dark wood grain. It was a test, for both of us, but there was no real knowing what the results would be.
The smell of fresh coffee wafted between us, courtesy of the Starbucks down the street. Hers sat untouched while I was nearly done with my latte.
“Marina, I can’t.” She was incredulous, but she shouldn’t have been.
“You can.” I settled back in the chair and crossed my legs. “You will.”
I imagined I saw steam blowing out of her ears and held back a laugh. I knew I was being cruel, but I wasn’t going to back down.
She chewed on the inside of her cheek, glancing down at the orange vibrator. “All day is too much.”
I just shrugged and took another sip of my latte, the last dregs of caramel syrup hitting my tongue. “Is it?”
Daphne huffed and snatched it off her desk. “Fine. I’ll be back in a minute.”
“Just put it in here.”
The look on her face was sharp enough to kill, but it didn’t phase me. We started at each other for a good 5 seconds, then she dropped her shoulders. “Close your eyes.”
I complied, though I’d seen everything she had to hide by now. Her movements were quiet, but I could hear the telltale swish as her pants dropped to the floor. A few more moments and she gasped, and I bit down a smile. She had done it.
I waited till I heard her sit, then asked, “Can I open them?”
“Yes.”
She was a lovely sight to behold. Her face was flushed and she squirmed in her chair. A small, kind part of me thought that I had tormented her enough. It was a very small part.
Daphne cried out as I swept my finger over my phone screen, activating the vibrator she had so obediently stuck inside her pussy. Her eyes went wide, but I didn’t let off. “Marina,” she gasped, clutching at the edge of her desk.
I only smiled. “All day,” I reminded her. It was her punishment.
