Ignoring my erection, I indicate which seat she should take before continuing with Thomas.

In all my years as the head of Titan Industries, a meeting has never felt like it lasted forever, and I work with some of the most boring people in the world. The truth of the matter is, I had to constantly stop myself from openly staring at my stunning assistant. She is an absolute distraction, and all I could think of was stripping her down and mounting her over my desk.

My cock still hasn’t gone down, and she left ten minutes ago. I wonder if I should take myself in hand just to take the edge off, but a notification sounds on my laptop, drawing my attention.

It takes me a moment to figure out what the noise was and when I reopen the minimized window, I see that the Love -N- Shenanigans website has found a match for me.

It has only been two weeks since Destiny Truegood floated into my office and demanded that I manage her fortune. Little did I know that the little hippie woman was worth more than any of the other accounts I have.

She piqued my interest and after we finished sorting her finances, I finally asked how she had amassed her wealth. Being told it was through a dating site had me laughing at first, but curious afterward. And that’s how I ended up filling out a profile.

Now, after two weeks, I finally have a match. Nervously, I read through the application twice. The fact that this woman is a Liger shifter counts to her advantage. What I don’t like is the fact that she hasn’t done anything remotely kinky in her life. Down to my bones, I am a kinky man. There are no two ways about it.

My finger hovers over the mouse pad, ready to dismiss the match, when a message pops up.

Ligress28: Hi. Not exactly sure how to do this. I’ve never used one of these sites. I would love to chat. Let me know.

My mind runs a mile a minute. Perhaps her inexperience with kink is a blessing in disguise. She doesn’t have any bad habits that I need to reteach. Everything else about her profile is exactly what I want in a sexual and life partner. Without taking time to work through my pro and con list again, I answer her message.

DomBrae: Hello. To be honest, this is my first time on a dating site as well. I was just about to give up hope.

Ligress28: I’m glad you didn’t.

DomBrae: It may be a little soon to decide if you mean that.

Ligress28: I am having the best Monday of my entire life. This is meant to be.

DomBrae: Are you one of those?

Ligress28: One of what?

DomBrae: Those people that believe in fate and soul mates?

Ligress28: Not at all. I do believe that there are people more compatible with others.

DomBrae: And if I am not one of those people?

Ligress28: Then I had a conversation. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and all that.

I chuckle at the sentiment. I could be wasting five minutes talking to a random stranger and then calling it quits or we could get to know one another. Who knows?

DomBrae: Why are you on this site?

Ligress28: I just got out of a relationship. I need something new in my life.

DomBrae: Already looking for the next guy to tie down?

It’s a dickhead thing to say, but I don’t have time for games.

Ligress28: Not at all. I am tired of being down. But I wouldn’t say no to a night or two of fun.

Jesus. I wasn’t expecting her to be so up front about it. I generally prefer women who let me take the lead but for some reason find it refreshing that she is the pursuer at this moment.

DomBrae: Tell me what exactly you want and maybe I can help you out.

For five long minutes, she doesn’t reply, and I fear that I might have scared her off. I may have started out unsure about the match or even talking to her, but I find that the longer it takes her to reply the antsier I get.

Ligress28: Sorry. I’m at work. And that is the most loaded question I have ever heard. If I answer that here, at my desk, and my very unfriendly boss finds out? I will probably end up fired.
