Page 152 of Their Famous Dominant (Office Intrigue Duet 4)
Her eyes widened, and she quickly turned to Troy.
This was what I wanted. To sit back and watch them, to admire every sleek angle of Troy’s body, to caress every one of Clarissa’s delicious curves with my eyes. I had to wonder why I’d never realized before now exactly what I needed. They were truly opposites in every way. Clarissa was distinctly feminine, so sweet, so sexy, while Troy was infinitely male. Oh, sure, his submissive side was prominent, but there was still an underlying masculinity that did it for me in ways I hadn’t expected.
I waited until they were both naked before I ordered Clarissa to kneel between my legs when I dropped my other foot back to the floor. I stared down at her, making a point not to touch her.
“You remember our agreement?”
She nodded. “Yes, Master. I belong to you, and I’m to forget everything I’ve been taught before.”
When it came to Clarissa, I was required to take a hands-on approach. Mercedes had been right when she said I needed to deprogram Clarissa. At some point in time, the sweet submissive had started using all the rules as her way of topping from the bottom. I refused to be topped by anyone and I’d spent the past two weeks reminding her of that at every turn.
“Do you have any questions?”
“Yes, Master. Could you tell me what we’ll be doing?”
“No, pet, I cannot.” I pinched her chin, forcing her to hold my gaze. “The only thing you need to know is that you belong to me. In every way that I desire. You’ll do exactly what I want, when I want, how I want. I’m in complete control. You can rest assured I will take very good care of you. I do not want you attempting to anticipate my every move, either. I expect complete obedience on your part.”
This wasn’t new to her because it was merely a different iteration of everything I’d been repeating over and over again. I didn’t care if I sounded like a broken record, either. Baby steps.
Sure enough, after those words left my mouth, Clarissa’s eyes glazed over. She was right where she wanted to be.
“If you do not obey and you do not use your safe word—if necessary—you will be punished, Clarissa. However I see fit. And if you use your safe word in an effort to top me, you will be punished. I am your Master. You have no control.”
A shiver ran over her, but I knew she wasn’t cold. This woman needed exactly what I was giving her.
“Now, I want you to thank me for taking care of you.”
“Thank you, Master.”
I nodded. “Now come and stand beside me.”
Clarissa got to her feet and stepped around my chair to stand at my side. I peered up at Troy and pointed to the spot she had vacated. “Kneel.”
He went to his knees with a little more grace than he had been. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but if I knew Troy, he was wondering what we’d be doing five minutes from now. That was how his mind worked.
“All I ask is that you give up complete control when I command it, which I will be doing a lot in the coming days. You do not have to wonder whether or not you are pleasing me, because you will be as long as you follow my commands. I want to show you what it truly means to submit. In public and in private. At any time, if you feel uncomfortable, I expect you to speak up. You may use your safe word at any time without repercussions. If you’re worried about something, talk to me.”
Troy nodded.
“Respond verbally.”
“Yes, Master.”
This wasn’t going to be as easy as I wanted it to be because I had a lot I wanted to get taken care of during the coming days. Along with the surprise I had for them on Friday night, I anticipated long hours in the office, but I knew when it came to Clarissa and Troy, they deserved everything I could give them, which meant I had to give them everything I had.
Everything.
Troy
“NOW THAT WE’RE CLEAR ON the overall objective for the week, I’d like the two of you to go back to the sofa,” Master stated as he motioned for me to stand.
I got to my feet and reached for Clarissa’s hand. Not knowing exactly what Master had in mind, I led her to the couch and took a seat beside her.
I had known the moment the plane touched down in Chicago this morning, we would be immersed in another dimension entirely. That was the way it worked when Master was in the news. I’d been working for him long enough to have experienced it a time or two, and it never got any easier.
