"Oh, that's a little far. My house is just up ahead," I explained.
"Shame. I'll just order the uber," he said as he returned his attention to his phone. "Thank you for the offer though. I'm honestly grateful."
He wasn't kidding. The sincerity in his eyes and softness of his voice told me everything I needed to know. The craziest idea started to form. He needed a place to sleep (I mean, he obviously has in own place…but hear me out). His place was too far and mine was nearby.
I still felt upset that he had humiliated me, and my house just happened to have all my favorite toys. I'm sure you're following…
"How about you spend the night at my place?" I suggested.
He raised a brow. "What are you up to, Dr. Hill?"
"I'm just helping you save some money and, well, I can't exactly leave you here," I explained, "What would HR say?"
Judging by his reaction, he could tell I was up to something.
"Alright, if my boss insists, who am I to refuse?" he asked as he made his way to the passenger seat.

While driving to my place, we talked about his day and what he had observed. While I focused on gynecology, I was still good at general surgery. It didn't hurt to be multi-talented. I had other medical skillsets as well.
As for Bruce, he was a surgeon and nothing more. Judging by how much he talked about the children's ward, I could easily see him as a good pediatrician. But the work talk didn't have my full attention. My mind was elsewhere, plotting revenge and how to convince him to join me.

"This is my bedroom," I said as I showed him the room.
It was a gray-themed room. I loved dark colors as they gave off a mature vibe and are perfect for helping me fall asleep.
"Don't tell me this is where I'd be sleeping?" he asked. "Is boss suggesting that I'd sleep with her?"
"Maybe I am," I smirked. "But we won't be sleeping here, yet."
"Is this going where I think it's going?" he asked, his curiosity piqued; it was easy to tell what was running through his mind, as mine was running in a similar simulation.
I didn't answer him. After picking up a key, I left the room, and he followed closely behind. We got to theotherroom, where I kept my toys. It was more or less my playroom. I opened it and showed it to him as well. He eyed everything in the room. I watched as he started to piece together what I was insinuating.
He turned and grinned. "This is your idea of revenge?"
"Last time, I must admit that you might have caught me off guard, but I can't let you keep acting superior around me," I answered. "So this time, I need you to be a good boy and submit."
"Tabitha…" he called as he made his way to me. "I can't submit to you. Never have and never will."
"You remind me of someone," I admitted. "I can't remember his name. But he was stubborn, just like you." I held his right hand and circled it around his back.
Swiftly, I went for the other hand, quickly cuffing them together. He stared behind him as he realized what I had just done.
"You cuffed me," he remarked. "You're quite sly. I didn't even see it in your hands."
"Concealment technique," I responded as I placed the key on the bedside table. "Now where was I?"
"You said I reminded you of someone," he stated, paying attention to my movements. He struggled with the cuffs before I continued, "Ah, yes." I started to undress.
Humming gently, I slowly took off my dress, I wasn't wearing a bra, so I was left in my panties. I picked up the keys from the bedside table, sat on the bed, and crossed my legs while dangling the keys in front of me. His patience with my charade was wearing thin. I could see it as clear as day on his face.
"You don't suppose that you and I have met before, do you?" I asked.
"While I do know your name because of how popular you are, I doubt you wouldn't remember an absurd name like Bruce Jericho," he replied.
