Thinking back, she remembered the only toy left that he hadn’t taught her about was the little pink butt plug. At that moment, she felt a cool, wet finger brush over her back hole.
* * * *
Gunner watched as her puckered hole winked at him. “Shhh,” he soothed her, laying his other hand on her back. “It’s a little cold, but it will warm up fast enough.”
Once she quieted, he pushed his finger through her opening to the first digit. He smiled as her muscles tightened down around the intruder. Waiting until her muscles relaxed again, he then twisted his finger to spread the lube around her hole before pulling out again.
“Sir?”
“Shhh, baby, we’re just expanding your horizons a little more,” he murmured as he pulled her little pink butt plug from his pocket and quickly lubed it up.
Placing the tip of the plug at her hole, he gently but persistently pushed. “Relax your muscles, baby.”
The next moment, the plug slid in until the base rested against her skin. Once it was seated, he patted one ass cheek.
“Okay, baby, let’s go have coffee.”
He grinned when she whined as she climbed from the bed. She brushed the back of her dress down then led the way to the kitchen. “You’ll wear it this morning. At lunchtime, we’ll change it out for the next bigger one I bought for you.”
“All morning?” Jillian asked before the rest of his statement sunk in. “A bigger one?”
“Yes, all morning and yes, a bigger one. We’ve got to stretch those tight little muscles until you can take me without tearing or too much pain,” he explained easily as he followed her into the kitchen.
* * * *
By lunchtime, Jillian was ready to pull out her hair with arousal and sexual frustration. When she went to the conference room, she was surprised to find the door open. Gunner usually kept it closed. She stopped in the doorway, shocked that the room was empty. The computer they’d set up for him and the files they’d brought in by the armful were gone, as well. It was as if Gunner had never been here.
“He had to leave,” Helen said, approaching with a small brown box in one hand. “He said he had an emergency he had to deal with. Told me I could go ahead and clean up the room, that he was finished with the computer and files. Oh, and he left this for you.”
Jillian nodded as she accepted the box. “Did he say anything else?”
Helen shook her head. “Just that he wanted you to have this and that he would be in touch.”
Jillian carried the box back to her office and opened it. Inside she found three butt plugs in increasingly larger sizes and a folded piece of paper. Unfolding the paper, she read the note before collapsing back in her chair in shock.
Baby,
Something’s come up, and I had to leave. Think about my offer. Yours is a business worth saving but only if you accept my conditions.
I’ll be at Club Esoteria next week Friday at nine o’clock. If you want to continue, as my submissive and as my business partner, you’ll meet me wearing your green chemise and bring the contents of this box.
I love you, Gunner
Chapter 10
“No. Absolutely not. I will not step down from my company. Especially not for you to take over. You’re a girl, for God’s sake. What do you know about business?”
Jillian had waited as long as she could before confronting her father with the conditions under which Gunner would invest in Hall Industries. But it was Friday evening and she only had a couple of hours before she was to meet Gunner at Club Esoteria.
As she had predicted, her father had immediately refused to consider retiring. He’d been ranting for ten minutes, and she finally reached the end of her patience.
“Daddy, if I hadn’t taken over as much as I did a year ago, Hall Industries would already be out of business. I’ve done everything in my power that I can to save our family’s company, but without Gunner’s investment and business help, we might as well give up and close the doors tomorrow.”
She’d never spoken to her father in anger before, but it was time someone informed Lucas of a few hard truths, and she was the only one in a position to do it. Helen stood beside her but remained silent, supportive but not wanting to take sides in this family battle.
Jillian waited and watched as her father digested her blunt statements. It took several long minutes. As she watched, he seemed to grow old and shrink into himself.
“But you’re a girl,” he muttered half-heartedly.
“I’m your daughter and learned the business from the inside out. You taught me all about quality and treating employees like people and not numbers. Like you, I see Hall Industries as my baby. I’ll take good care of her. I plan on having my great-great-grandchildren in charge of the company long after you and I are both dead.” Jillian softened her tone, praying that he would see the wisdom of this move. “But I can only do that if we agree to do things Gunner’s way.”
“Just think, Lucas, if you don’t have to spend all those hours at the office, you can play golf every day. And maybe we can take that cruise we’ve talked about,” Helen added as if to give him something positive to hold onto. “We can travel like we’ve always wanted.”
Lucas stared into space as if contemplating the upside to a forced retirement. It took several minutes before he finally sighed and nodded.
“All right, we’ll do it his way. But you have six months, and if things have not turned around by then, I’m going to go to the board and demand my position back,” he said.
Jillian smiled for the first time in days. “That sounds fair. Now I have to go.”
After giving her father a hug and a kiss, Helen walked her to the door. “Don’t worry, Jillian. I’ll help him see the advantages.”
“Thanks, Helen.”
As Jillian drove away from Helen’s house, her stomach fluttered with both relief that her father had agreed to do things her way and nerves at seeing the man she’d fallen in love with. Except for the formal paperwork that had arrived by messenger Wednesday morning, she had heard nothing from him.
She’d thought of him every other minute and wished she could call him but didn’t. He’d left no instructions about whether or not she could call him, nor had he attempted to contact her.
As she pulled into her driveway, she sent up a quick prayer that he would be at the club so she could show him the submission only he elicited in her.
* * * *
Gunner could no longer deny that he was more than attracted to Jillian. He loved her and wanted her in his life forever. And if that meant moving his base of operation to New Bern, he would. As long as she agreed to be his submissive, his woman, his wife, he would move to the moon if need be.
After nine days apart, he could not wait for her to arrive so he could share that revelation. He also wanted to talk to her about Hall Industries and getting her father the help he needed. But most of all, he wanted to fuck her until neither of them could move. Though more than a few women had offered to keep him company, he’d turned them all down. All he wanted was the tall, lean woman who was as strong a business woman as she was submissive to him.
Though he tried not to, every time the door from the lobby opened, he looked, hoping it would be her walking in.
* * * *
“I’m sorry, Miss, but I can’t let you in.” The big guard didn’t look too apologetic as he denied her entrance to the Club Esoteria parking lot.
“But my Master is waiting for me inside. I have to go in.”
The guard shook his head. “You’re not a member of the club, and I don’t have your name on the guest list. I’m sorry.”
Checking the clock, Jillian took a breath. “Can you call inside and ask Master Taurus to put me on the list? Or ask Master G to come out here so I can talk to him.”
The guard thought for a moment before turning to his partner. “Call the club and ask Master Taurus about a submissive named Jillian who’s not on the list.”
A minute later, the other gu
ard returned his cell phone to his pocket and nodded. “Master T said to let her in.”
“Okay, Miss, have a good evening.”
Jillian nodded and forced herself to slowly drive into the club and park. Climbing from her car, she stopped for a moment to take a deep breath. The signed and notarized agreement papers were in her tote bag along with a change of clothes. She’d left all but one of the butt plugs at home but hoped Gunner wouldn’t mind when he saw the surprise she had for him.
She walked across the parking lot, teetering on the new “fuck me” stiletto shoes she’d bought during a shopping trip the day before. She’d even allowed Blaze to play dress up, using her as the model. Of the clothes her friend had chosen, she’d bought several new short, sexy dresses and two pairs of shoes.
Opening the door, she stepped inside, shocked to find Gunner standing just inside.
“Sorry I’m late, Master,” she said by way of greeting, wondering if he would notice the change in title she’d given him.
“No, baby. It’s my fault. I forgot to have Taurus add you to the guest list,” he responded gently. “Now give Jacob your things so we can go play.”
“Yes, Master.”
She handed her brand-new, ankle-length trench coat, shoes, and tote bag to the front desk attendant then turned to the man waiting patiently. When he pulled a pair of leather cuffs from his belt, she held her hands out without reservation. Once they were in place, he stepped back and looked her up and down.
“Where’s the box I left for you?”
“Um, I didn’t bring it, Master,” Jillian admitted softly as her stomach and pussy clenched in anticipation.
Gunner raised an eyebrow at the third use of his new title but didn’t comment otherwise. “Didn’t my note tell you to bring the plugs?”
“Yes, Master.” Her gaze cut to the man standing behind the counter who appeared to be concentrating on folding towels though she knew he heard every word. “But I didn’t think we would need them.”
She watched as Gunner narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked every inch the Dominant male she’d fallen in love with. “And why is that?”
She stepped closer and leaned up so her lips were only a few inches from his ear. “Because I’m wearing the largest of them right now.”
“Oh, really?” Gunner attached her cuffs together then wrapped his hand around the clip. “Come on, sub, we’ve got to get upstairs right now.”
“As you wish, Master.” Jillian bowed her head to hide her sassy grin as she willingly followed.
Chapter 11
Jillian had to walk fast to keep up as Gunner led her across the main floor and up the stairs. He didn’t slow until they entered the same room they’d been in two weeks before. Only then did he release her. After closing and securing the door, he reached for her wrists and released the clip holding the cuffs together.
“Strip for me, baby,” he said as he unbuttoned his shirt.
Jillian reached down and pulled the green chemise over her head. After tossing it toward the chair in the corner, she knelt before her Master and helped to rid him of the rest of his clothes.
“Come here, baby.” Gunner helped her to her feet then pulled her as close as two bodies could be without melting into one another. “God, you feel so good.”
Jillian could only sigh as his arms wrapped around and gave her a long, strong hug. She rested her cheek against his chest and relaxed into his embrace. She sighed again as his hands brushed down her spine and cupped the cheeks of her ass. The next moment, she sucked a breath as two fingers slid down the cleft between them.
“Which one?” he murmured between brushing kisses over her hair. His fingers found the end of the plug and pressed it even deeper into her.
“The black one,” she answered softly. “I wanted to prove that I was a good sub, even if you weren’t here to guide me.”
She tilted her head back so she could see his surprised reaction. She met his smoldering, brown gaze squarely just before he lowered his head and kissed her.
The kiss felt like a homecoming to Jillian. Warm and welcoming as their tongues intertwined and danced back and forth from her mouth to his and back again. The fire of need that had been banked since finding he’d left immediately blazed forth. She moaned and ran her hands up and down his body, wishing she could get even closer though they already were.
She made a sound of protest when he lifted his head and broke the kiss.
“On the bed, baby. Face up and arms over your head,” he ordered. His voice held the deep, sexy tone that set her to trembling with anticipation.
Once Jillian moved into position, she watched Gunner approach the side of the bed. He sat down next to her chest and reached up to her hands. She looked up and tried to see what he was doing, but his arms were in the way, so she couldn’t see.
When he stood and moved around to the foot of the bed, she looked up and found that he’d clipped her cuffed hands to the headboard. Lifting her head, she followed him as he went to a hidden cabinet next to the bathroom door. He retrieved a handful of condoms, which he tossed on the mattress next to her hip.
“That should hold us at least for a little while,” he said with a wink and a smile.
“You think so,” she purred back as he moved around to the foot of the bed.
“Uh huh. But first I’m going to finish what I’d started the last time we were in this room.”
With that, the discussion was over. He climbed onto the bed and shouldered her thighs until they were as far apart as she could spread them. She heard him murmur but couldn’t make sense of his words as he bent so close that she felt his breath caress her open, wet entrance.
“Oooo,” she breathed as thick fingers spread her lower lips just before his tongue swiped up between them, setting every nerve in her body to jangling.
“No coming,” he said with his lips against her clit.
She whined as he began to lick, suck, and nibble, taking her higher and higher at an alarming rate of speed. She began to pant as he swirled his tongue around her clit. She gasped when he brushed it up and down from the top of her slit to her opening.
“Master, please,” she whimpered when two fingers slid into her cunt.
“For a sub, you’ve become quite demanding. But I’m feeling generous, so come, baby. Come right now,” he ordered. In the next second, he sucked her clit between his teeth and bit down gently.
Jillian screamed as her orgasm flared and engulfed her. She yanked on her bonds, and the inability to touch him sent her flying even higher. The orgasm rolled on and on as Gunner fucked his fingers in and out of her then pulled from her and took control of the butt plug still lodged deep in her ass.
As he lapped at her juices, he began to fuck the butt plug in and out of her ass. He continued until she begged for a reprieve.
“Please untie me. I need to touch you. Please, please, please,” she cried as tears overfilled her eyes and began to run down into her hair.
“Shhh, baby. I’m right here,” Gunner said as he crawled up the bed to lie half over her. He didn’t release her arms as he gathered her close and cuddled her. “You’re so damn beautiful when you come,” he murmured as he buried his face in her hair.
“Fuck me, please, Master. Claim me as your own,” she pleaded, lifting her legs to wrap around his waist.
Lifting his head, he brushed a kiss over her lips before rearing back again. She watched as he sheathed his cock in a condom. “I’m taking this beautiful ass tonight, baby. Then you’ll truly be mine.”
“Oh, yes, please,” Jillian moaned as he pushed her legs up and out of his way then eased the plug from her back hole.
Before her body reacted to the loss of the plug, Gunner was there, gently pushing his way forward into her most private passage. He moved slowly, his jaw clenched tight as he eased deeper and deeper until he’d fit his full length into her.
Once he was seated, he collapsed forward, resting his upper body on his forear
ms. He growled as her muscles clenched around his cock, but he didn’t move again until they relaxed.
Jillian pulled on her bonds once more as he began to shift his hips back and forth, easing slowly in and out of her tight back hole.
“Please, I need to touch you,” she begged.
“Promise you won’t run away this time?” He stopped with only the head still inside her.
“I promise,” she moaned. “Please, untie me then fuck me good.”
Gunner reached up and released her from the bed but did not release the clip holding her cuffs together. She lowered her arms so they encircled his neck and shoulders as he started to move again.
They climbed the height of passion together, and in just minutes, their cries of release harmonized as they came together.
She made a sound of protest when Gunner pulled from her.
“Shhh, baby, I’ll be right back, and then we’ll start all over again.” He brushed a kiss on her lips then left the bed.
She lay on the bed, relaxed and drowsy, barely aware when he returned and cleaned her. She sighed when he lay down beside her and pulled her to rest against him. He held her tight to his chest with her hands still connected to one another trapped between them.
Only after they’d used up all the condoms in the room, he finally released her from the cuffs and carried her into the bathroom. After a long bath, he dried them both and then insisted they get dressed. She took her time, hoping that by delaying, he would decide to take her back to bed instead of leaving this room that had become so special to her.
When it looked like he was determined to leave, she pulled on her dress and smoothed it into place. Once he’d finished, he looked her up and down with a serious expression.
