What’s Wrong

They arrived at his work rather quickly. Jayden shut the car off, opening Ethan's door for him and helping him out. Immediately when he entered, they were approached by a beautiful red head. She grinned when she saw them, pulled Jayden into a big hug.

"I missed you yesterday! Where were you?!"

Ethan bit back a grin as he saw Jayden's face. He scowled at her, tugging free of her grip.

"Heather." He sighed.

"I had a business meeting outside the office to tend to."

"Well that sucks. Oh! And you must be Ethan! My Jayden has talked about you nonstop for the past month!" Heather turned her attention to Ethan, grinning. She was very nice, it seemed, and extremely preppy.

"Heather." Jayden warned, crossing his arms but she ignored him. It was clear she was not intimidated by his presence.

"He wanted everything to be absolutely perfect for your arrival! Oh, tell me, would you like a cupcake?

I have plenty!" Ethan wanted to immediately say yes but he quickly remembered Jayden's list of rules.

If he were to eat any junk food, he had to have permission.

"Sir?" He questioned. Jayden appeared amused, but also pleased that he remembered his rules.

"Do not expect me to often approve." Jayden warned before he gave a small nod.

"However, since you did well to remember, you can." Ethan's eyes lit up and Heather handed him a cupcake. He took his time in enjoying it, though he was extremely careful of his outfit. He did not want to ruin anything given to him by Jayden.

"Oh, I see. So, you have already gone into rules?" Ethan flushed immediately at her words and scooted a little closer to Jayden. He found it embarrassing for others to know the lifestyle he was becoming involved in. While he had enjoyed it so far, it felt like something naughty that should not be so put out there.

"You don't have to look so embarrassed! See!" Heather pulled her jacket down, revealing a silver collar. For the most part, it looked like a choker but there was a small tag hanging off a loop.

Ethan swallowed, using his free hand to grab onto Jayden's suit jacket. It was a reminder that Jayden wanted to collar him; he wanted to make him his fully. While Ethan was not completely against the idea, he was not sure if it was something he was ready for yet. He felt a hand placed on his lower back and was gently nudged forward.

"Let's go to my office."

"Your office is so big." Ethan hummed as he followed Jayden in, looking around. It had huge windows behind the dark, wooden desk, as well as a comfortable looking chair. There were a few plant decorations just to liven the place up and in front of the desk were two chairs. There was also a printer behind the desk as well as a couch on the side of the rook, a coffee table in front of it.

"What is the point in the couch?"

"It is where I sleep if needed." Jayden chuckled lowly, walking around his desk, and sitting down.

Ethan watched curiously as he logged into the computer, one of which he could easily tell was expensive.

"Wouldn't it look bad if a guest of yours walked in to see that?" Ethan blinked in confusion earning a rather amused look as Jayden motioned him behind his desk.

"No one comes in my office without my knowledge or permission, aside from my secretary. She will always knock, though if she does not receive a response, she knows I am resting and has permission to enter. Typically, it will be to bring me a coffee or something else. Everyone here knows to allow me my space and not to invade it." He explained as Ethan stood in front of him.

"You will come to learn that privacy is something highly important to me."

"Am I supposed to give you your space?" Ethan bit his lip, knowing he had not been doing much of that. Granted, he had not been told Jayden was a man who preferred personal space, but it seemed like a given.

"You are my submissive, pet. Even if not yet collared, you are so long as you are under my care. You do not need to concern yourself with keeping your distance from me unless I specifically tell you to. I will always do my best to communicate with you on such matters and I expect you to do the same." It was such a simple explanation and Ethan gave a small nod, biting his lip. It sounded simple enough to do, communicating with someone on what he liked and did not like. But then, he was not sure how well he would be able to do it. No one had asked him what he wanted before joining Jayden; he always just accepted what was done to him.

"What's wrong? You look lost in your thoughts."

Ethan leaned into Jayden's soft touch as he placed a hand against his cheek, glancing up to him and biting his lip.

"I will do my best to communicate with you, sir. It's just I have never been allowed to do so, so I am not sure how good I will be at it." He admitted, biting his lip. Jayden closed his eyes for a second, his thumb moving to swipe across Ethan's bottom lip.

"Don't do that, at least not while I am at work." He sighed softly, knowing it would only make him want to fuck the boy. It was much too tempting on him.

"And that is fine. I understand you come from different circumstances than most people I have met and... worked with." Jayden pulled his hand away and glanced at his computer. It was only 10:10am which meant he had another twenty minutes before any meetings would start.

"Ethan, get onto your knees for me." The male looked confused but did as told…
