“Together?” he says a little too loudly. “Liketogether, together? Or just, like, together?”
“What?” I say, frowning. “I don't know how else to say it. We’re not just hooking up for fun. We’ve talked … among other things … and it’s official. He's my man and I'm his girl. We’re together. Officially.”
“Oh my fucking god!” Jeremiah bellows, pulling at least one of our co-workers attention to my office. I have to put my finger to my lips and tell him to shush to keep him from screaming it from the rooftop. “Don't tell me to shush. You’ve been in here holding out on me while you are dating the boss? This is huge. Have you told Jaz yet?”
“Not necessarily,” I answer. “She knows that he and I had been talking and that there were some mixed signals being put out there from his end. I haven't told her about the latest developments because it’s all so brand new. It literally just became official last night.”
Jeremiah gasps. “So I've been given the honor of being the first to know? Usually you tell Jaz everything and I end up feeling left out. Oh, this is a great day—and here I was thinking it was going to be shitty. Ooh, can I be the one to tell Jaz? I have to hear the sound of her voice when she finds out.”
I roll my eyes as I laugh. “I guess so. It’s not that big of a deal.”
“Bitch, what? Not a big deal. He's our boss. Our gorgeous, masculine, sexy, well-groomed boss. This is a huge deal, and Jaz will agree with me when I call herright nowand say, ‘Girl, you're not going to believe who is together.’”
“Who’s together?” Sierra’s shrill voice suddenly asks from the doorway, cutting right through the good mood like an annoying ass samurai sword.
Jeremiah flinches like he just witnessed a jump scare, and his good mood instantly deflates.
“Nobody,” he answers.
Thank goodness. The last thing I need is Sierra finding out about this. All it will take is one perceived special favor and she’ll be ready to go to HR and hire a lawyer.
“Oh? But you sounded so excited about it,” Sierra prods as she steps into the office.
Jeremiah scoffs. “That’s because I was minding my business. It feels good to do that. You should try it.”
Sierra glares at Jeremiah like she's ready to slap him, but lets out a long sigh instead before looking at me. “Nia, do you have anything drawn up for the Golden Diamond ad? Rome would like to have something approved before the end of the week.”
I start to shake my head, but Jeremiah steps forward. “I have the first billboard mock-up right here. Nia and I were just about to go over it.”
“Good. Let’s see it,” Sierra replies.
Just as Jeremiah raises the cardboard in his hands, my phone goes off with a text alert. Sierra and Jeremiah watch as I pick it up from the desk and see that it’s a message from Rome.
Can they see your screen?
Confused, I quickly type a response.
No, why?
Good … Make sure the volume is down …
“Nia, you good?” Sierra asks from the other side of the desk. “Can we go over the mock-up, please?”
“Uhh, yeah. Let me—” I'm cut off by another message from Rome. It starts off grainy at first, a pixelated rectangle with no defining features. But when I click on the image, a video immediately takes over the full screen and starts playing. My heart erupts as I let out a loud gasp, and the first thing I see is a closeup shot of Rome’s thick cock in my mouth as I'm strapped to the spanking bench in his playroom.
“You okay?” Jeremiah asks, concern all over his face.
“Umm … yep. Yeah, I’m fine,” I lie, doing my best to try and pull myself together, but I can barely keep my eyes off the screen. Rome has his hand cupped under my chin as he strokes his cock in and out of my drooling mouth. It’s such a startling image that I don't know how to respond. I can't even think straight. Why would he send this to meright now? It doesn't make sense, but before I can even gather enough thoughts to form a coherent sentence, I receive another text.
Excuse yourself to the restroom. Go inside. Lock the door. And make yourself come to the video of me fucking you senseless.
My jaw drops open as I stare at the screen in total shock. Now? He’s Domming me right now, first thing in the morning? When he knows Sierra and Jeremiah are in my office? It’s the craziest, hottest thing ever, and now that he and I are officially in a D/s relationship, I know what I have to do.
I clear my throat. “Umm, we’ll take a look at it as soon as I get back. I’m sorry, but I desperately need to use the restroom. Too much coffee, I think. I’ll be right back.”
Sierra lets out a huff as I scoot past her, and Jeremiah looks at me with a suspicious frown, but I don't care. With my phone in hand, I step out of my office and head to the bathroom. As I go, I look into Rome’s office, and he spares a quick glance at me with a devilish smirk before going back to whatever he was typing on his computer, his phone next to his hand. I grin as I pick up the pace and enter the bathroom.
Inside, I bend over to look beneath the door of every stall, ensuring that no one is in the bathroom before stepping into the last stall and closing the door. I shake my head, in disbelief of what I'm about to do. But I want to do it. For him.
