“That’s good to know asshole.” He chuckles. “Anyway, how’s it going with your new submissive?”
“It’s going.” I shrug. “I wish it would move along a little faster than it is, but she’s got some trust issues we’re working through. So, I’m being patient.”
“Which isn’t one of your strong suits,” he says, pointing at me then taking a sip of his scotch.
“Exactly, but I think it can really go somewhere.”
“Did you meet at Club Desire or Club Jade?”
“Actually, online. And before you shit on it, it’s exclusive.”
“I wasn’t going to say anything. Anyway, when’s the last time you’ve had a sub?” he asks.
I laugh. “Your wife if you can believe that.”
“You’re fucking kidding me?”
“Nope.” I take a sip of scotch. “Everyone just didn’t meet that standard. But this woman is special. I can see it developing into something more eventually.”
“I’m happy for you, man. Maybe we can meet up at Club Jade soon since Rizzo’s being an ass about me being in Chicago so much. So, Club Desire is out of the question. He’s a pain in my ass.”
I laugh. “Since I’ve been in Chicago, I haven’t been going to the club much. Couldn’t find the right partner and it just wasn’t fun anymore. So, I’ve been using an app and their website.”
“How does that even work?”
“It’s a process but like I said, I think she’s special so I’m willing to do things this way if it leads to something. So, what did Charlie find?”
Enough about my personal life, it’s time to get down to the reason I’m here. I need to save my company, then get things moving forward with Cadence.
“He found a fucking, lot man. There’s no reason you should have trouble getting rid of them.”
That’s what I like to hear. They tried to screw me over, but I’m the one who’s going to get the last laugh.
LosAngeles,California
She sighs. “How long are you going to be gone?” she asks.
I chuckle. “You miss me, already?”
“Well, I do like keeping to our routine. But I understand you have business. I knew what I signed up for.”
The driver opens my door, and I step out in front of my office building, holding my briefcase in one hand, and my phone in the other. I touched down in Los Angeles yesterday and I already crave her. I crave her obedience. Her attention. I want it all and as much as I can get it.
“So, you do miss me?” I ask, chuckling.
She giggles. “Yeah, I do.”
I sigh. “I won’t be too long. This was something I couldn’t put off anymore.”
“I know. I know. I’m too clingy, aren’t I?”
She sounds mortified at the possibility, but I find her cute. Ever since we met in person at Laila’s dinner party everything has been different. She is clingy, but I love it. I haven’t had someone in a really long time actually miss me when I’m not around. Except for maybe Ronnie and that’s only because shit usually hits the fan when I’m away. It’s not because he actually misses my company.
“You are clingy,” I say causing her to groan and me to laugh. “But I like it, baby. It lets me know you care.”
“Good morning, Mr. Hamm,” my doorman greets me as he pushes the door open to my office building open. “How are you doing?”
“Good morning, Daniel. Come by my office in an hour I need to talk to you about something.”
