5. The proposal

“Anna, I want to talk to you about something. You don’t have to say anything and if you want to I’ll have Norm drop you home once you’ve heard what I have to say”.

Curiosity and nerves filled me. Why was he being so serious. Why did he look soooo sexy. I remembered touching myself in the shower only moments before thinking about this man that I’d only just met.

“Of course, what did you want to talk about Mr serious”, I spoke back.

He closed his eyes as if I had just insulted him and when he opened them I swear they were darker.

“Anna, take a seat”, he ushered next to him.

“Can you keep an open mind Anna?” He questioned.

My first thought was, he’s married. I nodded for him to continue. But what came next shocked me.

“How much do you know about dominant and submissive lifestyles?” He questioned while trying to see the reaction on my face. This was not what I expected him to say. This was stuff from books and movies. While it made me intrigued I’d never imagined meeting someone who was … into it.

“I guess only from what I’ve seen in the books and movies..” I answered.

“What would you say if I wanted you to be mine. To answer to only me. Please me in any way I wished. Ready for me whenever I wanted you.”.. he stopped as he registered my facial expressions before continuing “if this is too much I understand. It’s not for everyone and I can have Norm take you home like I said”.

I didn’t know what to do. I’d only just met him. This was too forward. This was too much. But I couldn’t help the little part of me that was curious.

“What kind of things do you like Tom?” I questioned.

“He closed his eyes and opened them again like he did previously. “For starters, I’d want you to call me Master only. We’d have rules. If you obeyed them, you’d be rewarded, and if not I get to punish you.”, my knees felt weak at the mention of him punishing me. “I’d want you to be involved in different types of sexual experiences, for my pleasure. But I’d make sure you were also pleased. I’d make it worth your while Anna. You’d be my secretary so I had access to you whenever I pleased. You would be able to stay at your place during the weeknights, but the weekend you’d have to stay here. I won’t make you do anything you really don’t want to, but I’d push you to try new things. Experience new things”.

He waited to see if I would respond.

“I had an agreement drawn up for you which includes a weekly payment as my secretary.”

Shocked and not sure what to say, I asked if I could have a moment to think about it.

He handed me a wad of paper to which I realised was the agreement he spoke of. “I’ll let you think it over this week. And then on Friday we can have dinner and you can give me your answer unless you decide earlier. If you don’t want any of this, I understand. But I’m either all in or all out Anna, there is no in between”.

“Sir, sorry to Interrupt just Mr Caine has asked if you can see him today as he is heading out of town tomorrow”. Norm stood in the room whom I only noticed just now and I blushed at the thought he had heard what Tom had just said.

“Tell him we can be there in about two hours, we’ll drop Miss Stuart home first”.

I didn’t even remember giving him my last name. But I had stopped questioning how he knew a lot of things and I was still revealing in what he had just told me to care.

“I umm.. I’ll think about it”. I said as Norm left the room.

“Sorry if this all seems forward Anna. I just from when I first saw you, I wanted you. I tried to just forget about it and then you sent that picture of you and you had that choker on. And we’ll that picture drove me crazy.”

I wasn’t sure what the choker had to do with it but I listened still trying to make sense of this.

“If I don’t want any of this”… I queried

“Then I will leave you alone and I won’t try again”, he shot back at me.

He placed his hand on my leg and gave it a little grab to which my insides swirled yet again and ignited a feeling deep within. I stared at his face, at his perfectly plump and mesmerising lips. I didn’t notice but I was biting my lower lip. He brought his hand up to caress my face, he searched my eyes before tucking my hair behind my ear.

“I want you Anna. I want you to be mine”. He said in his deep voice.

A shiver went over me. I looked at him, wanting him to kiss me. To taste his lips. To feel his tongue. He dropped his hand. And the moment seemed to vanish.

He looked at me. “Did you want me to kiss you Anna?” He smirked.

“Maybe”, I responded shyly.

“Then ask me Anna.. ask me properly”.

“What do you mean ask, I shouldn’t have to ask?”. I responded.

“You’ve never done this sort of thing before have you Anna”. A confused look overtook my face.

“Remember one of the rules I mentioned. You must address me as Master. Now ask me Anna”.

How ridiculous. He wants me to call him Master. And even more so, he wants me to ask him to kiss me. Instead of asking I reached out for his face to instead be met with rejection. “You must ask, Anna.”

He was testing me. But I wasn’t sure this was worth it. Before I could get up and leave he grabbed my face with his hand and dove down so his lips met with mine. He pushed me into the sofa chair I was sitting on as he passionately searched my mouth with his tongue. My heart jumped and my insides curled up as I started to ache between my legs. Just as a small moan left my mouth, he got up and left me wanting more.

“Next time, you’ll ask Anna or there will be punishments”.

The ache between my legs got heavier.
