Office Pet

“He’s not looking for a virgin with zero experience. He’s looking for someone who wants to learn and who likes kink. You do want to learn, don’t you?”

I nodded but said nothing.

She clasped her hands together and bounced them on her lap. “I’m just so happy Kane has found someone. It’s been such a long time for him.”

“You mean he hasn’t had sex in a while?”

“Heavens no. Kane is a red-blooded man, and he satisfies his carnal needs when he has to. But he hasn’t committed to anyone in years.”

“Why? I mean look at him, he’s gorgeous.”

“Yes, he is rather yummy. But I’ll let him explain his reasons for staying single.”

“You said he hasn’t committed in a while. Does he want to commit to me?”

“That’s the plan. You’re just so pretty and sweet, and I’m certain you’ll make him extremely happy.”

Something about the way Melissa talked about him, set the hair on the back of my neck on end. “Are you a couple? Is sleeping with and sharing employees a fetish you share? If that’s your thing, I’m not interested in getting involved in some kind of weird threesome.”

“Goodness no. We’re not a couple. Never have been and never will be. Kane and I have known each other for what seems like eons. And besides, he’s not my type. I’m more of a Harley riding, leather jacket wearing bad boy who keeps me on my toes kind of girl. The rougher, the better. No white-collar men for me.” She smiled and gave me a happy sigh. “For the past few months, I’ve been in a relationship with the most wonderful man. He can be a bit of a bastard, but I do love him.”

“I apologize,” she said with a shake of her head. “That was a bit personal. Sometimes my mouth runs away with itself.”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.” I smiled. Maybe Melissa and I could be friends. “What else can you tell me?”

“I can promise you that if you commit to being Kane’s pet, your life will change forever and for the better. He’ll treat you like a queen, and if your relationship ends, he’ll make sure you’re taken care of for life. But there are things he needs in return. He’ll never purposely hurt you unless you ask him to. He’ll always respect you, your needs, your wants, and desires. In the bedroom, as with the boardroom, he’s in charge always. What he says goes.”

What she said he was offering was more than I could ever have hoped for. More than I even knew I wanted, but still, I had reservations.

“This is all so… wow… I assume Kane wants to keep everything about our relationship quiet. What if people find out? People like Sloane. If she finds out Kane is paying me that kind of attention, she’ll make my life hell. She’s already accused me of getting Simon fired.”

“Don’t worry about Sloane.” Melissa waved her hand dismissively. “If she gets uppity, I can ruin reputations with one phone call no matter who the parents or connections are.”

“I’ll continue my job as usual? Clock in and clock out?”

“Nothing changes in that regard, but you’ll be required to go on business trips with Kane, and when he calls, you’ll be required to come up to his office without hesitation.” She stopped talking and pressed her fingertips to her red lips. “I’ve said too much. I’m afraid I can’t discuss anymore until you sign on the dotted line.”

I picked up the NDA and pen. “And if I don’t sign?”

She shrugged. “Then tomorrow you go back to your cubicle and back to the life you already lead. You’ll spend the rest of your life asking what if, but you don’t strike me as a what if kind of girl.”

I flicked through the papers again. “Is there anything in here I should be made aware of?”

“It’s a standard NDA. Don’t talk about your relationship with Kane and all will be fine.”

I grasped my lucky pendant hoping for divine guidance and mentally crossed my fingers. Signing a contract without reading it was naïve at best, but Melissa was right, I wasn’t a what if person. To hell with it. What was the worst that could happen? Losing my job and starting off fresh somewhere new? Sure, it was a risk, but it was one I would grasp with both hands. I picked up the pen and initialed where indicated before scrawling my signature at the bottom of the last page.

I set both the agreement and the pen on top of the table. “Tell me everything I’m supposed to do and what’s expected of me.”

The sound of a door opening came from behind me. I glanced over my shoulder and watched as Kane strolled in. God, he was even hotter than I remembered. He moved his tall frame with such grace, like a stalking tiger. My eyes took in the sight of his muscular form in the dress shirt he had chosen for the day. It fit perfectly, from the swell of his broad shoulders to the narrow V that was right above his hips.
