Under His Command My Annoying Boss
Riley POV“How can one man be so annoying?” I asked, leaning against the breakroom counter, arms crossed tightly over my chest. My best friend, Chloe, nodded sympathetically, though her eyes were glued to the scene unfolding outside the large office window. Jaxon Steele, our boss and resident tyrant, was doing what he did best—tearing someone down.“You’d think with all that money, he could at least afford some decency,” Chloe muttered, pushing a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear as she watched in disbelief. I shook my head. "Decency and Jaxon don’t belong in the same sentence. He’s all arrogance and cruelty" I said with disdain obvious in my voice.We both stared as Jaxon’s deep, commanding voice echoed across the office floor. The poor guy he was ripping into—Eric from accounting—stood there shaking, his face turning redder by the second. Jaxon was relentless, his tall, muscular frame towering over Eric like a lion about to devour its prey.I hated him. Every fiber of my

Jaxon POVI stood there, fists clenched, jaw tight. Riley’s wide, panicked eyes darted between me and the half-closed door of the restroom, as Eric ran out without so much as a backward glance. Pathetic.Riley’s mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. "I—I’m sorry, Mr. Steele, I didn’t mean to—"“Shut up,” I snapped, the sound of my voice cutting through his stammering. My patience was gone, burnt up by the embarrassment of being interrupted before I’d even had the chance to finish.Damn it.The thrill that had surged through me moments ago was replaced with a wave of cold, hard anger.Eric hadn’t even stayed to finish what he’d started. Coward.I gritted my teeth, turning away from Riley for a second, trying to calm the burning rage beneath my skin. My hands moved fast as I tugged my trousers back on, zipping them up with more force than necessary.I could feel Riley’s eyes on me, and when I glanced up, I caught him staring. Right at my still-hard cock.I raised an ey

Riley POVI lay in my bed, staring up at the ceiling, unable to shake the events from earlier that day.It was ridiculous, really, how my mind kept replaying the scene in the restroom. I should be disgusted, angry even—angry at Jaxon for humiliating yet another employee and then getting off on their misery. But my thoughts kept circling back to what I saw. Jaxon. In that stall. His perfectly sculpted body exposed. The way his muscles flexed, the anger etched across his face as he zipped up his trousers, still erect, like nothing had happened. Like I hadn’t seen the whole thing.And God, that body. My stomach tightened just thinking about it.His cock—large, thick—definitely not something I had expected from someone as cold and vicious as him. And yet, there I was, thinking about it.I shifted uncomfortably, squeezing my eyes shut in frustration. "Why the hell am I thinking about Jaxon’s dick?"I never would’ve pegged him as gay. Not with the numerous beautiful women I’d seen enter

Jaxon POVI stared across the table at the one person I never imagined would be sitting there—Riley Lawson. Of all people, him?"What are you doing here?," I growled, narrowing my eyes at him. He looked just as shocked as I felt, his expression a mixture of confusion and disbelief."What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded once again, folding my arms across my chest. "This is my table. I'm meeting someone."Riley blinked a few times, trying to find his words.His cheeks were already flushed, whether from embarrassment or something else, I couldn’t be sure."I-I’m meeting someone too," he stammered, tugging at the hem of his shirt like he was trying to shrink into himself. "They told me to sit here. Table 5."My stomach twisted, the pieces clicking into place far too quickly for my liking.The guy I had been chatting with on the dating app. The one I’d been exchanging messages with for weeks now. Could it really be…?"Wait." I leaned forward, my eyes narrowing further. "What’s yo

Riley POVI couldn’t sit still. My leg bounced under the desk as I continuously tapped away at my keyboard, but my mind was far from focused on work. The events of last night replayed in my head.Running into Jaxon—my boss—at that fancy restaurant, the horrifying realization that we’d been chatting on that app for weeks… And the things I’d said.I cringed just thinking about it.Sluttycumbottom12.I wanted to bury myself under the office floor just remembering those humiliating conversations.But what was worse than the shame? The fear that Jaxon would fire me. The way I’d stormed out of that restaurant, insulting him in the process… who was I kidding?This was Jaxon we were talking about—he didn’t take well to being disrespected.And now, I was sure I’d be out of a job before lunchtime. My heart raced at the thought.I needed this job. Rent wasn’t going to pay itself, and I had bills stacking up as high as the skyscrapers surrounding our office.Every time the elevator opened, I f
Last Updated : 2024-11-09Under His Command Trapped
Riley's POV "I agree" I replied reluctantly. "I'll do as you say."As I stared at the ground, a storm of emotions swirled inside me: shame, anger, helplessness. This wasn’t a choice; it was survival. I hated every bit of my decision, yet I had no other choice. Losing my job wasn’t an option, not with the crushing weight of rent and bills hanging over my head. I had worked too hard to let Jaxon ruin it all, yet here I was, at the mercy of a man who took pleasure in watching others squirm."Good decision," Jaxon said with a smug grin, leaning back in his chair. He crossed one leg over the other, folding his arms in that infuriatingly arrogant way he always did. "Though I’m honestly not surprised. You’ve always struck me as someone who knew his place."I clenched his fists behind my back, hiding them from Jaxon's view. I could feel my nails digging into my palms as I forced myself to keep my expression calm. I didn't have the luxury to express my true feelings, not now. I tried to

Jaxon's POV"That reminds me" I began, " You will start your pet duties tonight when you come to my house."I watched Riley’s face shift from disbelief to something close to panic the moment I told him about tonight. “A car will be sent to your place this evening,” I repeated, drawing out each word slowly, watching his reaction with all satisfaction. “I expect you to be ready.”Riley looked like he might faint. He swallowed sliver, his gaze darting away as if he could somehow will himself out of this situation if he just ignored it hard enough. “Tonight?” he asked, voice barely above a whisper. His shock was amusing, but I could also see something else in his eyes—a hint of defiance trying to break through the fear. And just as quickly, it vanished.“Yes, tonight,” I confirmed, raising an eyebrow. “Surely you didn’t think we’d waste time. Or is your memory already failing you?” I folded my hands, enjoying every word. “There was a rule in there about obedience, wasn’t there?”Riley’
Last Updated : 2024-11-14Under His Command Into the Lion's Den
Riley's POV I paced around my room, running my fingers through my hair for what had to be the fiftieth time. My pulse hammered in my chest, every beat a relentless reminder that the seconds were slipping by, and Jaxon’s car would arrive any minute. The weight of tonight’s arrangement pressed down on me, each detail like a stone in my gut. I didn’t know what to expect, but whatever it was, I doubted I’d come out of it the same.My eyes kept flicking to the window, as if I might see headlights flare up at any moment. I didn’t want to be caught off guard. I wanted a few more minutes of peace—or as close to peace as I could manage while my thoughts tangled like barbed wire. Just when I thought I might lose my mind, my phone buzzed, its vibration breaking the silence. I snatched it up, expecting a text from Jaxon, but my stomach lurched when I saw the name on the screen.Eric.I drew in a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down. The last thing I needed was for Eric to pick up on th

Under His Command The Weight of Gossip
Jaxon's POV The sound of murmured conversations echoed faintly as Chloe and I walked through the halls of my company. My sharp, polished shoes hit the floor in an unrelenting rhythm, but the sound couldn’t drown out the undertones of whispers. It wasn’t just curiosity anymore; the office was alive with rumours, feeding off the chaos that anonymous text had sparked. Riley’s name came on tongues like a scandalous secret, and every time I passed a group of employees, the whispers came into my ears, sometimes cutting off abruptly when I made eye contact. Chloe matched my walking speed, her pace brisk, but her lips were pressed into a thin line. The tension radiating off her was palpable. She was holding herself together, but the twitch in her jaw betrayed her growing frustration. “Doesn’t this bother you?” Chloe broke the silence, her voice sharp and direct. “The stares? The gossip? The whispers behind your back?” I kept my expression neutral, though a small smirk tugged at the
Under His Command Beginning of Chaos Part 2
Riley's POV An Hour AgoThe coffee in my hands was warm, untouched since Chloe and I left the café near her apartment. I wasn’t really tasting anything today—not the coffee, not the sandwich I barely finished earlier. All I could feel was the suffocating weight of last night pressing down on me. “So, you didn’t sleep at all?” Chloe asked, glancing at me as we walked toward the office building. “No,” I admitted, the exhaustion heavy in my voice. “Not really. I kept going over everything Eric said. Everything I said.” Chloe frowned, her grip tightening on her own coffee cup. “I still can’t believe it. You and Eric… done, just like that?” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “It’s not like I didn’t see it coming. I’ve been pulling away from him for weeks now. Months, maybe.” “But not like this,” she pressed, her voice tinged with worry. “Not with him finding out the way he did. That’s rough, Riley. For both of you.” “I know,” I said, my voice quiet. “I didn’t want it
Under His Command Beginning of Chaos Part 1
Riley's POV Several Hours AgoThe day had been perfect. The kind of perfect that almost felt borrowed, like a fleeting moment too good to be real. Jaxon and I had spent hours on the road, escaping the high walls of his mansion and the suffocating expectations of the world around us. For once, there were no prying eyes, no bodyguards lurking in the background, and no sense of duty hanging over our heads. Just the hum of the engine, the open road, and his laughter filling the car.Now, as he parked outside my house, I couldn’t help but smile. My chest felt light, like the weight I’d been carrying for so long had been lifted—at least for now. “Home sweet home,” Jaxon said, his deep voice warm with amusement as he shifted the car into park. He leaned back, his hand resting casually on the steering wheel, his piercing eyes studying me in the dim glow of the streetlights. “Thanks for the ride,” I said, unclipping my seatbelt. He smirked. “Thanks for letting me have you for the d
Under His Command Exposed
Jaxon's POV The elevator hummed softly as it ascended to the top floor of Steele Enterprises. My coffee was warm in one hand, a welcome change against the chilled, calculated environment of my company. The morning rush had seemed ordinary enough as I entered the building—polished floors, a field of ringing phones, and the steady shuffle of employees moving to their posts. But as I exited the elevator into the open expanse of my floor, the usual air of efficiency felt…off. Eyes darted in my direction—furtive glances stolen from behind computer screens, a few whispers quickly hushed as I passed. Conversations died the moment I entered earshot, and a few employees pretended to be busy with tasks that were clearly fake on the spot. “What the hell is going on?” I muttered under my breath, straightening my tie and walking with purpose. By the time I reached the door to my office, my agitation was simmering beneath the surface. My assistant, Natalie, was already waiting for me. N
Under His Command Shifting Gears
Riley's POV The crisp morning air wrapped around me as Jaxon and I stepped out of the mansion, our shoes clicking against the polished stone driveway. The sunlight was soft, casting golden glow over the sleek, black car parked at the front. I could feel the tension in my shoulders easing, but a new wave of anxiety took its place as Jaxon’s bodyguards stepped forward, their stern faces unreadable. “Mr. Steele,” one of them said, his voice firm, “we’ll be accompanying you today.” “No,” Jaxon replied immediately, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Not today. I don’t need a security detail.” The guard hesitated, clearly torn between duty and obedience. “Sir, with all due respect—” “With all due respect,” Jaxon cut in, his voice a touch sharper, “I can take care of myself. This is a personal outing, and I don’t need anyone following me. Do I make myself clear?” The guard gave a curt nod, stepping back reluctantly. As we approached the car, Jaxon’s driver appeared, alre
Under His Command Crossroads
Riley's POV The air around us felt thick, suffocating, as I stood frozen in the doorway, staring at Alexis. The shock on her face was palpable, her lips parted slightly, her eyes darting between me and the room behind me where Jaxon still lingered. “Alexis,” I started cautiously, my voice low but steady, “did you…hear what we were talking about?” She blinked, her expression quickly shifting from shock to something colder. Her grip tightened on the phone in her hand. “So, it’s true?” she asked, her tone sharp, laced with disbelief. “You and Jaxon?” I opened my mouth to respond, to try and salvage the moment, but she shook her head, cutting me off. “I don’t want to hear it,” she snapped, taking a step back. “Whatever excuse you’re about to come up with, save it, Riley. I don’t need it.” “Alexis, wait—” I stepped toward her, but she turned on her heel and stormed down the hallway. The echo of her footsteps was like a countdown in my chest, each one amplifying the tension i
Under His Command A Fresh Start
Riley's POV The moment Jaxon opened the door, his expression was almost comical—a mixture of surprise and suspicion. His usually composed features faltered, and for a fleeting second, I caught something unguarded in his eyes. “Riley?” he asked, his voice rough and uncertain. “What are you doing here?” There was a genuineness in his tone, an unfiltered curiosity that made me want to smile despite myself. For all his arrogance and bravado, there were these rare moments when Jaxon Steele felt refreshingly real. I cleared my throat, willing my voice to stay steady after breaking a few seconds ago.“I need to talk to you. Can we do that inside?” I asked.His brows furrowed for a second, and then, as if snapping out of his initial shock, he stepped aside, holding the door open for me. “Sure. Come in.” I stepped inside, my sneakers sinking into the plush carpet of the foyer. His mansion was everything you’d expect from a man like Jaxon: luxurious, modern, and pristine, yet it fe
Under His Command A Restless Mind in a Beautiful Day
Jaxon's POV The sun streamed through the tall windows of my study, bathing the room in a golden glow. It was one of those days that seemed almost too perfect to belong to late autumn. Outside, the air must have smelled of leaves and sweet nature, but inside my mansion, there was only the faint scent of fresh coffee lingering from earlier in the morning. I sat at my desk, surrounded by neat stacks of documents waiting for my signature, but my pen hovered over the paper, unmoving. My mind refused to focus. Riley. I leaned back in my chair, exhaling sharply. The way Riley had looked at me yesterday—it was as if I’d punched him in the gut. Hurt, betrayal, and something else I couldn’t quite name had flashed in his eyes before he quickly masked it. But I’d seen it, and it stuck with me, gnawing at the edges of my concentration. “Jaxon, are you even listening to me?” Alexis’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. She was seated on the couch in my study, her legs tucked beneath
Under His Command A Friend in Need
Riley's POV The living room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the TV screen casting flickering shadows on the walls. I sat curled up on the couch with a bowl of half-melted chocolate ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other, watching yet another predictable romance movie. On-screen, the couple laughed, flirted, and danced their way toward a happily-ever-after. But instead of feeling warm and fuzzy, I felt hollow, like I was watching a life I couldn’t quite grasp.I took another spoonful of ice cream, letting the sweetness dissolve on my tongue as I tried—and failed—to stop the endless loop playing in my head. Jaxon and Daniel. I’d only seen it for a split second, but the image was as vivid as if it had been burned into my brain. Jaxon’s hand on Daniel’s back. The way Daniel had leaned into him, their lips locked in a kiss so deep it made my stomach churn. I wasn’t sure what hurt more—the fact that it had happened or the fact that it shouldn’t have bothered me in the first
