Moving away, I grab a watering can off the bookshelf and water my orchids and two ferns before my gaze drifts up to the large scenic painting of downtown Ocean Falls. The painting is of this building and the surrounding ones. The Atlantic Ocean is opposite the buildings on the other side of the street.

The painting was made in nineteen-seventy-three, and much hasn’t changed in this historic town other than updating the existing buildings. A chime on my computer has me rushing back to my oval-shaped glass desk.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: What do you mean?

@Perfect_Storm: I find myself purposely creating tension between #MasterPunisher and myself so that he can do things to me that, if not illegal, are definitely unethical.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: What sort of things?

I pause, wondering how much it’s okay to disclose without telling everything. Sighing loudly, I forge ahead.

@Perfect_Storm: Spankings. Orgasm denial.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: WTH?

@Tortured_Admin: Maybe you should change your name to Mind_Games.

@Perfect_Storm: That’s harsh.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: I don’t see what the problem is if you’re both into each other like that. You say you have a past; let it go and start a future.

@Perfect_Storm: I wish it were that simple, but it’s complicated. So many ??‍??‍?? would be impacted by a decision like this.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: Does your ?? have a no-fraternization policy?

@Perfect_Storm: No. I’ve already checked into that. I’m new, and although he isn’t, he holds a position that causes him to carefully consider every decision he makes because it can impact the company.

@Tortured_Admin: The games you’re playing will have an impact. If anyone finds out, you’re risking your career.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: You sound like you have a lot to think about.

@Tortured_Admin: No. Sounds like she’s doing what she wants to do.

@Undercover_Math_Scholar: @Tortured_Admin, who pissed in your ??this morning?

@Perfect_Storm: @Tortured_Admin, I thought you were the one who advised me to overlook my ?? for good ???

@Tortured_Admin: Just thinking maybe you’re in the wrong chat. This is about resisting your ??‍??, and you’re not trying to.

@Perfect_Storm: Maybe you have a point…

I log out of the chat, thinking about Tortured_Admin’s words. What the hell am I doing?

CHAPTER 11

Brynlee

T

hat paddling left my ass sore and red for a couple of days. Sitting sideways in meetings was odd since I looked like I had hemorrhoid troubles. Yet, when I went home at night, it was another experience altogether.

I’d spent more nights in the bed and tub rubbing one out to memories of Ambrose spanking me.

“Thank you for meeting with me, Bryn.”

“No problem. It’s just drinks,” I say, forcing those sexy thoughts from my mind.

“I know you’ve always worried about your brother finding out about us.”
