His teasing demeanor vanished and his smirk changed to a scowl. "I beg your pardon? Did you say it's not done?"
She wanted so badly to melt into the floor, but she reminded herself that this had been exactly what she planned and forced herself to meet his gaze. "I did, Sir."
She watched his eyes narrow to slits and prayed she was not about to get fired. She knew her boss was kinky, but this was also real life. Somehow she'd forgotten that until this moment.
"Audrey Lynn, come into my office."
He turned from the door frame and stalked into the room in question, leaning his tall frame against his massive desk.
She stood on shaking feet, wishing she could take off the heels she always wore to work to keep from falling flat on her face, but she had to be stoic and professional as much as she already wanted to turn into a weeping little girl crying apologies. "Yes, sir," she replied so softly there was no way he'd heard.
She got to the threshold and before she crossed over it, he spoke again. "Close the door behind you."
Her heart sank to her stomach. She did as she was told and when she faced him again,
His stiff suit jacket had been shrugged off and he was rolling up his sleeve.
Shit. Oh hot damn. It was even sexier than she'd imagined.
"Audrey Lynn, didn't you take an early lunch to go to a champagne brunch with your friends?" he asked, his tone accusing.
She gulped. "I did. But you said it was okay. It's a standing date. Monthly. It's never been a problem before."
"Your work has always been done before. It makes a big difference."
"Oh. That makes sense. I'm sorry. I'll know next time." Fully ready to chicken out of whatever was about to happen, she turned toward the door.
"Don't even think about it." He took a step toward her, his muscular forearm exposed. "I don't tolerate lazy, unprofessional behavior. Many assistants before you have lost their jobs for less."
Audrey swallowed. She'd heard the rumors. All of them.
"I'm sorry, Sir. Please forgive me."
He clicked his tongue and shook his head. "See I want to, but my forgiveness comes at a price."
Here it came. The fodder of her nighttime fantasies. The moment that she learned whether or not the rumors were true…
"A price, Sir?"
"Drop the Sir. If you decide to pay that price, you'll be calling me Daddy."
Audrey blinked, raised her hands into the air and stared at the keyboard as if it had dared to type that line of its own accord. Where had that come from?
A bit of art imitating life? The word Daddy had been all over the files she'd organized earlier. If it wasn't Archer's kink, he must do a damn good job of pretending like it was.
And she realized he and those files had done a damn good job getting in her head tonight.
“Well that's enough of that," she mumbled to herself, slamming the laptop shut. The rest of this scene was going to have to play out in the bedroom between her and B.O.B.
She always fooled herself into thinking that writing out her fantasies would help get them out of her system. She should know better by now. It never did.
There was only one way to make that happen. And before she could, she really needed to send those files to Archer. Opening her laptop once more, she pulled up her email, entered her boss's email address into the subject line, added a quick ‘Here you go! I hope this does the trick!’ in the body, and attached the file before closing her computer again.
With her nipples hardened into peaks beneath her lace bra, and her panties already soaked, she gathered her laptop and stalked off toward the bedroom.
