He kissed the top of her head. “I’ll take your request under advisement.”

“Is that how it works?”

Jesse walked his fingers up her back. “How what works?”

“I tell you the things I want, and you take it under advisement?”

He liked this direct Cassie. “Pretty much. It’s my job to make sure your needs are met, but your wants are at my discretion.” He lifted her chin so she was looking at him. “But you’ll find I can be very generous.”

His lips descended, covering her mouth with his in a leisurely kiss. “Close your eyes and try to sleep. We both have a long day tomorrow.”

Cassie smiled and met his gaze. “Yes, Sir.”

He lay holding her, enjoying the feel of her in his arms and listening to her soft snores before drifting off to sleep.

CHAPTER 13

Cassie woke to the smell of coffee. She lifted her arms above her head to stretch, her fingers encountering something unfamiliar.

Opening her eyes, it took her sleep-muddled brain a moment to remember where she was. Jesse’s room. They’d spent the night together.

Her gaze went to his side of the bed. He wasn’t there, of course. She was alone in his room. His bed.

She rolled over to look at the clock and was reminded of him spanking her the night before. Her butt was still a little sore. Not to the point of pain, but her skin was more sensitive.

The clock read five thirty in the morning. It was still dark outside, although she could see a hint of light peeking through the curtains.

Throwing off the covers, she scrambled out of the big bed and padded to the bathroom. After taking care of business, she glanced at herself in the mirror. Her hair was all over the place. She’d brought a brush with her, but it was in her bag. As were the change of clothes she’d brought with her.

The hall was empty as she scurried to the spare bedroom. Her bag was on the bed where she’d left it.

Her back was to the door as she removed the items she needed, so she didn’t hear him enter. “I was coming to wake you up, but you were missing from my bed.”

Cassie jumped at the sound of his voice. Her hand went to her heart, and she took a few deep breaths to settle herself. “I was going to get dressed and come find you.”

“Hmm.” Jesse was by her side in two strides. He molded her body to his as he kissed her. It wasn’t a peck on the lips like she was expecting. Nor was it quick. He took his time. “Good morning.”

“Mmm. Good morning.”

He smiled. “I’d ask if you slept well, but I already know the answer.” His hand cupped her backside. “How’s your ass doing this morning.”

“It’s a little tender.”

His smile grew wider.

She didn’t want to analyze that too closely. Not when she was standing there naked. “May I use your shower?”

“Of course.” He nodded toward his bedroom. “Everything you need should be there. If you can’t find something, just ask.”

“Thanks.” She put her clothes back in her bag and turned to leave the room.

“I like having you naked in my condo.”

She ignored his comment and hurried across the hall to take her shower and dress.

Three and a half hours later, she was sitting at her desk, typing up a response to one of the shipping managers, when her phone dinged. She finished what she was doing, then checked her phone. It was her brother.

James is in town this weekend. Mom wants us all over for dinner. 6pm Friday. - Bradley
