“I’m not working this weekend, Gus.” Alison glared at him.
She should know better than to push him, but he’d never had to show her this side of him. She’d always obeyed—with a snarky attitude many times but she’d bowed to his demands like a good sub. No, she wasn’t his sub and she’d never be his sub. She was a good employee and soon she’d be a good mother, but that was it. “You are working this weekend and if you call me Gus one more time, I’ll—”
“Harker don’t.” Merri stood. “Let’s everyone take a deep breath and we can talk about this like adults.”
“There’s nothing to discuss.” He was the boss. He’d made his decision and Alison would just have to deal with it.
“On that we agree.” Alison picked up her laptop. “I’ll see you on Monday.”
“If you leave, you’re fired.”
“Harker.” Merri turned to Alison. “Please give me a minute with him.”
Alison nodded and strode out of the room.
CHAPTER 4: Harker
Harker wasn’t backing down on this. Alison wasn’t going on a date. “There is nothing you can say Merri—”
Merri closed the door and spun around. “You can’t order her around like that. She’s not your sub.”
“I’m well aware of what she is. She’d make a horrible sub.” But she’d be fun to train—all that energy, the attitude. He’d never be able to fully make her submit and that’d make each tiny submission mean that much more. He frowned, reminding himself that he wasn’t looking for a sub. He was looking for someone with good genes to mix with his. “But she is my employee.”
“Who you’ve overworked for months. The hours that woman puts in is crazy.”
“She’s well compensated—”
“Money isn’t everything, Harker.”
“I’m aware of that.” But it did get him everything he needed.
“I don’t think you are.” Merri shook her head at him. “You can’t fire her.”
“I can. I hired her—”
“I hired her.”
“Semantics.” He shrugged. “I approved it and she works for me. For my department. I can fire her.”
“Stop acting like an ass and tell her how you feel.”
“Feel?” He rolled his eyes. “This has nothing to do with feelings.” It had to do with keeping her untainted to ensure that the child that’d soon be in her womb would be his.
“Please. You’re always watching her, and you make her work every day, even holidays. You keep her here until all hours of the night. You make her come into work instead of telecommuting like almost every other employee.”
“She needs to be here. We can’t risk the program getting stolen.” He was glad when Merri ignored him because they both knew that he had enough funds to minimize that risk to almost nothing.
“You even gave her a room in your house. Not in the business side of your mansion but in your home. A room right down the hallway from yours.”
“And would I do that if I had feelings for her?” He’d considered asking her to join him in his bedroom on several occasions, especially the ones where he’d heard her moving about in her bed, soft little sighs and a low hum coming from the room. It’d taken every bit of willpower he had not to barge in there and let her use his cock instead of that stupid toy, but no matter how much he’d wanted that, she was too important for a heated fling.
“I’m not sure why you haven’t slept with her when it’s obvious to anyone with eyes that you want her.”
“It’s not sexual between us.” Yes, they’d be having sex, but not for pleasure. Of course, there was no reason not to make it pleasurable. Some studies suggested that pleasure assisted in the likelihood of conceiving. Plus, pregnancy didn’t usually occur the first time. Even if it did, it’d take several weeks to know for sure and he planned on using those weeks and Alison quite thoroughly.
“Really?” Her eyebrow raised. “This power thing has always been your aphrodisiac.”
“Not with Alison. Like I said. She’d make an awful sub.”
