Small Town Seven (Haremworld)

“You do the impossible. You hacked my system. My system hasn’t been breached since it went live. Do you know how many hackers bounce off of it every day? You found a flaw that the best security team in the world didn’t find.” His tone was still calm, even though I was fuming.

“I’ll keep working.” I shook my head angrily. “I’ll try a few more things.”

“So, let’s talk about your motivation.” He pulled a chair from the dining room over and took a seat near my computer. “We’re on a tight deadline here, and I don’t think you’re applying yourself properly.”

“I am, Mr. Prince. I’m doing the best I can.” I let my head slump against my shoulders.

“I think it’s time I started treating you like a real employee with weekly performance evaluations and consequences when you don’t meet my expectations.” He tilted his head slightly. “I think that will help you take this a little more seriously.”

“I’m pretty sure if I was a real employee, I would have quit by now.” I sighed and shook my head. “The only reason I’m still here is because I’m praying for a miracle that keeps me out of prison.”

“Yes, but I don’t want to feel like I’m sacrificing my company so you can delay what you seem to have accepted as inevitable.” He leveled his gaze at me and his intense stare caught me off guard. “The consequence for your failure so far is going to be a trip across my knee.”

“A what?” My eyebrows shot up in surprise.

“A spanking.” He nodded and exhaled sharply. “A consequence that will be repeated each week that passes without a working prototype.”

“You’re serious?” I blinked and shook my head. “No, that’s not going to happen.”

“So, you would rather terminate this agreement and let me call my friends at the FBI?” He tilted his head and shrugged. “Your call.”

“Okay, you made your point.” I held up my hands in front of me. “You have successfully motivated me. I’ll keep working.”

“You’ve had a long time to work and you have nothing to show for it. At this point, I would be better off handing off what you’ve done to someone else and letting them try to salvage it. They may not have your brilliant mind, but at least I won’t look like a fool when I try to pass off a normal dating app as my revolutionary new idea.” He sighed angrily. “I need to see that you’re still dedicated to this project a

nd willing to do anything to ensure it succeeds—just like you were when you were begging me not to send you to prison.”

It was true. I had been extremely motivated the first few weeks while I was building the framework of the app. I had no doubt that it would succeed back then. It wasn’t until I started running the algorithm that I realized it wasn’t quite as magical as I hoped. Nothing was working right. Mr. Prince’s patience had run its course and it wasn’t going to be as simple as I thought to maintain my freedom. I had never been spanked before. The thought of it was rather frightening. I closed my eyes and imagined myself behind bars, staring at a long prison sentence and a felony record. Even if I was a first time offender, I had done a lot of damage and it claiming it was an accident wasn’t going to erase what I had done.

“Okay.” I opened my eyes and nodded as I tried to swallow a lump in my throat. “If this is the only way.”

“It is.” He nodded and patted his knee. “It’s not like you don’t deserve a good, hard spanking anyway for all of the things you’ve done.”

Reverse Harem Romance (Haremworld Book 6)

Chapter 1: Savannah

That bitch Nancy had everything and she didn’t even have to work for it. She coasted through high school, dated all the popular guys, and then she did the exact same thing in college. If she wanted someone, all she had to do was bat her pretty eyelashes and they belonged to her.

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. Yeah, right. White. That’s a bit of a stretch.

After riding the carousel of eligible bachelors, and a few guys that weren’t quite available, she had finally decided to settle down. Of course, she had to choose the only man I ever loved. Dominic wasn’t just my best friend, he was my everything.

Why can’t you see past her pretty face? Why do you have to be so shallow, Dominic?

When Nancy put her claws in Dominic, I figured it would be another quick trip to bliss, followed by a broken heart—for him. I was wrong. The whirlwind romance kept spinning, and it seemed like it wasn’t going to end until the wedding bells tolled. Dominic was officially a part of my past and I had no idea where that left me. I never told him how I felt. I was too shy to profess my love because I was afraid of the rejection it would bring. I also didn’t want our friendship to end. My eyes glazed over as Nancy walked past me, on her way to everything I ever wanted.

Six months later

“Do you want me to call you a cab or something?” The bartender handed me my credit card back and stared at me as I staggered off the barstool.

“No, I’ll be fine.” I nodded and tried to force a smile.

“I’ll make sure she gets home.” A familiar voice—it couldn’t be him.
