Their Rebellious Submissive (Office Intrigue Book 3)

by Nicole Edwards

  At least that had been the case today.

  “Okay, maybe not the treadmill, then,” Ben replied.

  Or maybe we should put her on the treadmill naked, have her walk a few miles. That would certainly be a sight.

  “Mr. Parker?”

  I glanced over to Addison as I took a long pull on my scotch.

  “Please tell me you’re not a gym rat.” She giggled sweetly.

  “Define…rat.”

  Another laugh. “Do you spend endless hours at the gym?”

  Her eyes seemed to trail down to my chest and I remembered the look on her face last night when I’d come back into the kitchen, pulling my T-shirt over my head. The way her eyes had lit up when she caught sight of my naked torso had been quite appealing.

  “Not endless hours, no.”

  “That’s good. I’m much more the relax-on-the-sofa kinda girl.”

  Leaning over, I put my mouth close to her ear, keeping my voice down so the others didn’t hear me.

  “Is that an invitation, feisty girl?”

  I pulled back in time to see her eyes widen and a wickedly sexy smirk tilt her lips. She was wearing lip gloss and I was highly tempted to lean over and lick it off her.

  “Would you want it to be?” There was a wealth of sass in that single remark.

  Turning back and sitting up straight, I smiled with my glass to my lips. “You have no idea, little girl.”

  No idea.

  She giggled again, then turned toward Ben. “So, what do you do when you’re not cooking or working out?”

  While they carried on their conversation, my eyes scanned the table, coming to rest on Landon, Luci, and Langston. They were seated the same way, with Luci between the two men. She was smiling and laughing at something Landon said, but her eyes widened and I noticed Langston’s arm was tucked beneath the table.

  His gaze lifted slowly and he searched the other faces, probably feeling my eyes on him. He stopped hunting when his gaze landed on me. A devilish smirk followed.

  Sneaky bastard.

  If I had to guess, his fingers were buried in Luci’s pussy and he was instructing her to keep his lascivious ministrations from becoming public knowledge. Those three certainly liked to play and they didn’t have any qualms about doing it in public, either.

  Which made me instantly think about our Monday meetings. I’d had a brief chance to talk to Landon earlier in the day and he agreed that the six of us should meet every Monday morning to discuss business, as we had previously.

  I wondered if it would take an interesting turn having both Luci and Addison in the same room.

  My dick was definitely excited about the prospect.

  “You want to head over to the bar next door? We’re meeting to have a drink,” Bill McDonald said as I was in the process of rounding up Addison and Ben. I had lost track of them about half an hour after dinner when I got sidetracked by Kimberly Chambers, the advertising executive for my highest grossing client.

  “Not tonight,” I politely declined.

  “No worries.” Bill smiled, his eyes trailing through the room. When he looked back at me, he appeared guilty. “So, um…what’s the lowdown on the new secretary?”

  Lowdown?

  I held his gaze, waiting for him to elaborate.

  Bill waved off his comment as though it was no big deal. “You know…is she…single?”

  His eyes suddenly lit up and I turned to see who he was looking at. I guess I should’ve known. Addison had managed to draw quite a bit of attention tonight. Bill wasn’t the first person to ask about her, although he was the only one who appeared to have a personal interest.

  Looking at her, I couldn’t necessarily blame him. Not only was she striking in that sheer red shirt and black skirt, but she was extremely approachable, offering a friendly smile whenever she caught someone looking her way.

  Normally, I wouldn’t have thought twice about someone asking me that; however, Bill happened to work in the same building as we did, the company he worked for renting space on the third floor. Which meant he was far too close for comfort. If he thought for one second I would approve of him hitting on Addison, he’d better think again.

  “Actually, no,” I told him firmly. “She’s not single.”

  I didn’t give a shit that I was lying. Mostly. Technically, thanks to that contract the three of us had signed, she wasn’t on the market. However, that pertained more to the lifestyle than anything else. And we all knew that the contract was only good if all parties were willing participants.

  “A pity that,” Bill said with a sly grin, and I assumed the humor in that statement was there to detract from his disappointment.

  I turned back to Bill. “How’s Jill?” You know, your wife.

  “She’s…” His eyes met mine and there was a flash of guilt there. “She’s great. She wanted to be here tonight, but Joel is sick.”

  Joel was their four-year-old son.

  “Anyway…” He nodded toward the door. “Thanks for the dinner. I enjoyed it.” He nodded to a group standing a few feet away. “I’ve actually set up a meeting for later in the week. Looks as though they’re looking to expand their toy line.”

  “Glad you met some new people,” I stated, letting my eyes roam over his face so he could see my displeasure with our previous conversation.

  I knew that some of the firm’s clients, even some of my own managers, questioned my morals and values due to the fact that I represented the sex industry. On top of knowing exactly what was necessary to market sex toys, I was also outwardly open about my involvement in BDSM. I didn’t have anything to hide.

  Not that I shared details, but I didn’t keep my interests locked in a box, either. And for that reason, many people assumed I lacked scruples when it came to certain aspects of my life. As far as relationships went, I valued them. Loyalty was key in my world and even the thought of Bill stepping out on his wife made me want to punch the guy in the face.

  I refrained.

  “Good night, Bill,” I said, letting him hear my annoyance as I pivoted and headed in the opposite direction.

  “That’s not true!” Addison denied, giggling at Ben as I approached from behind her. “I am not trying to be the center of attention.”

  “You don’t have to try,” Ben replied, grinning. “It just comes naturally.”

  “How about we go back to my apartment and you can be the center of our attention?” I asked from over her shoulder. I purposely kept my voice low.

  Addison’s entire body went rigid. I’d clearly surprised her.

  A second later, she slowly pivoted, her pretty blue eyes wide as she stared up at me. “What’d you have in mind, Mr. Parker?”

  Admittedly, I liked that she referred to me that way. I wasn’t sure she was using it as the honorific I’d instructed her to use, though, but rather a respectful way to address me while in the presence of people we worked with. That was one of the reasons I liked it so much. Ben could show me the respect I’d earned without drawing attention from those in the vanilla world.

  “I guess we’ll have to go home to determine that.”

  She nodded, then glanced over at Ben. “I’m ready to go if you are.”

  Ben met my gaze and nodded.

  *

  Twenty minutes later, after I’d said good night to Landon and Langston, as well as the two clients I had invited, Ben, Addison, and I were in the elevator on the way up to our floor.

  Addison let out a noisy yawn, then covered it with a giggle.

  “Tired?”

  “Yes and no. I could probably sleep, but I’m still a little wired. I thought dinner would settle me, but it didn’t.”

  I wondered if her energy had anything to do with the short but highly satisfying scene from my office. If so, I hoped she was going to stick around so we could pick up where we had left off.

  The elevator stopped and I stepped back, placing my hand over the doors once they’d retracted.

 
; Addison led the way down the hallway, coming to a stop in front of her door and mine.

  “The question is…” I pulled my key from my pocket. “Are you going to sleep, or do you want to come in for a drink?”

  She swallowed hard and I could tell she was seriously considering both options. While I wanted her to come in, I wasn’t expecting it.

  Addison glanced between the two of us again. “I…uh…I could probably come in for a few minutes.”

  I nodded. “You’re completely safe, little girl. I’m not the big bad wolf.”

  Although, the thought did give me an idea for a role-playing scene in the future.

  Nineteen

  JUSTIN

  WHILE WE STOOD IN THE hallway, my statement hovering on the silence that had descended, a slow smile formed on Addison’s sweet mouth.

  “Maybe you’re not the big bad wolf right now,” she teased. “But I’ve seen what big teeth you have.”

  She was taunting me.

  I fucking liked it.

  I glanced over at Ben, and I could see the glimmer of lust in his eyes. He was as eager as I was to see where this night was going.

  Again, I stepped back after I unlocked the door so they could precede me. Once inside, I headed for the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of scotch from the cabinet, along with three glasses. I poured two fingers in each glass, then added a couple of ice cubes. Carrying all three into the living room, I nodded toward the couch, urging Addison to get comfortable.

  “What’d you think of tonight?” I directed my question to Ben.

  “The dinner?”

  I nodded.

  “It was interesting. My client seemed rather pleased to have been invited. Said he was always open to expanding his network.”

  When Luci originally suggested that we have dinner with those we did business with from time to time—not merely our own—I hadn’t known how it would go. Due to the vast differences in our clientele, it was always questionable. However, I agreed that networking was important in our world and introducing our clients to one another could potentially work well for them.

  I liked that Luci’d had the forethought to come up with those ideas. It was one of the very reasons she was doing so well. I suspected Addison would step into the role for Ben and me as easily as Luci had.

  I took a seat a few feet to Addison’s left while Ben dropped into the chair across from us.

  Crossing one ankle over my knee, I twisted to look her way. “And you? How was your first day?”

  She seemed surprised that I had asked her that. “It was interesting. I hadn’t thought I would be, but I managed to stay busy all day. It’s a lot to take in, so I’m still trying to wrap my head around it all.”

  “Right now, things are little out of the norm, what with the dinners and interviews,” Ben replied. “Once we get some people hired, it will be slightly less chaotic.”

  I took a sip and watched while Addison did the same. As soon as the liquor hit her throat, she coughed and spurted.

  I couldn’t help but laugh. “You could’ve mentioned you don’t like scotch.”

  “I didn’t know I didn’t like it.” She looked sheepish as she set her glass on the side table. “Until now.”

  I kept my eyes trained on her as my next question formed. I purposely held off, letting some of the anticipation grow while she stared back at me.

  “You’re thinking something dirty, aren’t you?” she teased, her hooded eyes flashing with heat.

  “That’s a safe assumption, sure.”

  “What’s on your mind?” She seemed hesitant to get the answer to that.

  “I’m coming up with a plan to seduce my pup,” I admitted, watching closely for her reaction.

  “Seduce him?” Her tone was cheerful, excited almost. “Like right now? While I’m here?”

  “Yes.” I took a sip of my drink. “I think he’s done well today and deserves a reward. What do you think about that?”

  Addison’s eyes moved over to Ben and she smiled. “It could be interesting.”

  It would be a hell of a lot more than interesting.

  “You mentioned you were a voyeur,” I reminded her.

  She nodded again, the movement cautious. “I am.”

  Being that she had agreed to come over here with us, knowing that I likely had intentions to take some of the edge off the day, I didn’t feel the need to explain what I needed. I was merely curious as to what her reaction would be.

  While I had watched her interacting with Ben over dinner, I had come to the conclusion that I would be taking a slight step back in our forward progression. Nothing major, but enough to ensure Addison knew that I was in charge.

  “If you think it’ll be too much for you,” I told her, “then I’ll wait until you’re finished with your drink.”

  “No.” She giggled. “I’m good.”

  To prove it, she kicked off her heels and pulled her feet up beneath her.

  “Do you have a problem with that, pup?” His answer probably wouldn’t sway my intentions, but I still wanted to hear from him.

  “Not at all, Mr. Parker,” he stated, his desire to submit evident in his eyes. “I’m more than happy to have her watch.”

  Fuck. And now it was getting hot in my apartment.

  With my gaze locked with his, I nodded. “Strip for me.” I made sure my tone reflected every ounce of my dominance.

  His eyes flared, but he set his drink on the end table and got to his feet. He never looked away from me as he slowly began disrobing.

  Glancing over at Addison, I noticed she was intently focused on the strip show taking place in my living room.

  “He’s rather impressive, don’t you think?” The man’s body made my dick hard.

  She swallowed and her words came out on a rough exhale. “Very much so.”

  I watched my pup as he shed his clothing, laying everything neatly on the coffee table. When he was finished, he remained standing, all sleek muscle and smooth, dark skin.

  I nodded toward the chair. “Take a seat. Stroke yourself while we watch.”

  Ben eased back into the chair, wrapping his fist around his giant cock as he stroked himself slowly, leisurely.

  “Feisty girl, move over here.” I patted the cushion beside me.

  There wasn’t an ounce of hesitation on her part.

  Not that I’d expected any. Addison was submissive to her core; that was evident in pretty much everything she did. With the exception of her constant need to turn down our generosity when it came to her livelihood.

  When we were side by side, I placed my arm over her shoulders and relaxed against the cushions, watching as Ben jacked his dick, his eyes taking us both in. I briefly wondered what he was thinking. I knew he had a deep-seated need to dominate Addison, and since I was taking over—something I was prone to do—I figured he’d have something to say.

  However, nothing came out of his mouth and the gleam in his eyes said he was enjoying this as much as I was. Perhaps his need to submit was more intense than his urge to dominate. That was something we’d have to explore in the future. The last thing I wanted was to interfere with his plans. He’d already admitted he would submit to me whenever I required it. I would likely have to learn to squash some of my urges in an effort to give him what he needed.

  But not tonight.

  “Do you do this often?” Addison asked, her words directed my way, but her eyes never left Ben.

  “What? Have him stroke his dick while I watch?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Whenever it strikes my fancy, yes.” I nodded toward Ben’s cock. “Don’t stop doing that.”

  I set my glass on the coffee table and cut my eyes over to the beautiful woman now breathing roughly beside me. “Keep an eye on him for a minute.”

  “It would be my pleasure, Mr. Parker.”

  Cocking my head to the side, I considered that for a minute. “I like hearing that from you.”

  “I like saying it.”

  Wi
th a grin, I headed to my bedroom. After removing my jacket and tie, I retrieved the lube from my nightstand drawer, then returned to the living room. They were both in the same positions, Ben leisurely stroking his cock, Addison watching intently.

  “Does watching him make you hot?”

  “Yes.”

  “What do you think of his cock?”

  Addison’s cheeks turned a pretty shade of pink. “It’s very…big. Impressive.”

  It certainly was an impressive sight. Ben’s cock was thick and heavy in his hand, eager for whatever I had in mind. Glancing down at Addison, I gave in to my desire to include her.

  “Stand up.”

  She scrambled to her feet.

  When she was in front of me, I tilted her chin up and met her gaze. “Tonight, I want you to watch us. As much as I’d like you to join, I’m going to refrain.” I glanced over at Ben, then back to her. “After all, you did receive a reward this morning. After I left your apartment.”

  She nodded. “I did. Mr. Snowden was very generous.”

  “So you understand why I’m going to have you watch but not join in?”

  “I understand, Mr. Parker,” she whispered, her voice trembling with a torrent of need.

  Damn. Maybe I should reconsider. The thought of her with us made my cock swell impossibly bigger.

  No.

  I needed to hold off. Prove that I was the one in control here.

  “I would like you to undress me,” I instructed.

  Her big blue eyes remained locked on my face, and for a moment I thought she was going to decline. So, when she lifted her hand to the front of my shirt, my breath hitched in my chest.

  “If it pleases you, Mr. Parker.”

  I curled my hand around her neck, rubbing her smooth cheek with my thumb. “It does.”

  I found tremendous pleasure watching Ben watching us. His hand jerked roughly on his dick and I could tell he was having a difficult time holding himself back as Addison unhurriedly removed my clothes. Her hands grazed my bare skin a few times and I realized I had yet to even kiss the girl. Although I wanted to now, I decided it was best to wait. The last thing I wanted was to give her mixed signals.
