Page 32 of Taste Me Daddy

Each spank was followed by a polite and sincere thank you from Korben. After the final spank was administered, Michael immediately reached for the cooling cream and applied it to Korben’s hot bottom.

‘I’m sorry, Daddy,’ Korben said, his voice subdued but peaceful too. ‘I was being stubborn. I just can’t help it sometimes. I’m not used to sharing my business, even with you. It means so much to me that I make it a success…’

‘Don’t worry, darling boy,’ Michael said. ‘I know you care about your business. And I also know that it’s not always easy to take advice. Trust me, I’ve been there plenty in my younger days.’

‘The cream feels good,’ Korben said, turning his head and looking up at Michael. ‘I’ll listen to you more from now on. And…’

‘Yes…’ Michael said, carefully working the cream into the reddest spot on Korben’s right cheek.

‘I kinda did get what you were talking about, I just didn’t want to admit it,’ Korben said, smiling guiltily. ‘I’ve always been afraid of losing creative control. I guess I need to learn how to separate creative control from the business side.’

Michael nodded and smiled.

‘I think you’re going to make Korben’s Kandies a huge success,’ Michael said. ‘You’re creative, and your God damned smart too. Any success will be all yours, I’m just a guiding hand in the background when it comes to the boring financials. Korben’s Kandies is one hundred percent an Korben Arnold success story.’

Korben smiled sweetly and had a twinkle in his eye.

‘Okay, how about you get back to work on some designs and I’ll wrap up my own work back at my desk?’ Michael asked, applying the final dollop of cream to Korben’s soothed butt.

‘Perfect, Daddy,’ Korben smiled, standing up. ‘but I think I’ll do my sketches standing up and with my butt on show and cooling in the AC air, at least for a few minutes!’

Korben giggled as he looked down at his glowing bottom.

Michael chuckled and walked back to his desk, his mind focused on reaching out to a few investor friends in Japan to discuss a potential Japanese angle for Korben’s Kandies.

However as Michael took his seat an opened his emails, he was met by a disconcerting sight. It was an email from none other than Phillip Neal.

What the fuck does this asshole want?

And why is he contacting me out of the blue like this?

Only one way to find out…

Michael steeled himself and opened the email from Phillip. Within seconds of starting to read, Michael could tell that it wasn’t going to be an apology for Phillip’s past treachery…

Good evening, old man. I know that you know I’ve been making some moves. You might not believe this but I’m not the naïve young man you knew. I’m older now. Smarter. And.. much, much richer too. I won’t beat around the bush any longer. I’m just saying that I’m coming for each and every one of your investments. By the time I’m done, you’ll have either sold your investments to me, or I will have bankrupted them myself by investing in their rivals. Don’t think I don’t have the funds to do it. And don’t think I’ll show any mercy to Korben’s Kandies either. I’d say it’s nothing personal, but that would be a lie. Ciao for now. Phillip.

Michael leaned back in his chair and took a moment to compose himself. Part of him wanted to pick the computer screen up and throw it out of the office window. But Michael knew that he needed to retain his composure – if not for his sake, then for Korben’s…

‘Everything okay, Daddy?’ Korben asked, looking over from the opposite side of the office with his iPad in his hands and his hot little butt still on display. ‘You seem… distracted?’

‘No, I’m good,’ Michael replied, standing up. ‘Excuse me, I need the bathroom. You keep working, I’ll be back in a moment. And I want to see some great ideas from you, boy.’

‘You got it!’ Korben replied, immediately setting about getting back down to business.

With that, Michael turned and left the office. He knew that it was time to put Phillip Neal well and truly back in his place – and this time for good.

But more than anything else, Michael knew that he had to do whatever it took to make sure that Korben and Korben’s Kandies came out of this whole situation totally unscathed.

It was time to call Max and Harrison and see whether his fellow Daddies could help him come up with a plan to send Phillip packing…

Chapter 13

Korben

Korben watched as Michael walked out of the office with his cell phone in hand and a stern look on his face.

‘Hmmm, what’s on Daddy’s mind?’ Korben wondered, swiping off his illustration tab and instead opening up the messages on his iPad. ‘I know I maybe shouldn’t, but I just have to tell Louie, Danny, and Benji about what just happened.’
