GUEL

He's jealous... I really hope he is. I'd seen him watch me for a week, always fuming whenever I was with Rose, but I never realised he was jealous until today. The way he kept mentioning Rose to me, hinting that we were together, made me want to tease him. I still didn't know if he was gay or just furious I was talking to another employee. If it were the latter, it would mean he wasn't jealous, but if it turned out to be the former….

I looked down at him and smiled. It would make this so much enjoyable.

I knew I had the appeal, not been narcissistic. I'd heard compliments from women, and had more than my fair share throw themselves at me. And there's also a mirror...

When I told him about the physical characteristics of the one I liked and saw him touch his hair, I couldn't help but tease him some more.

“It's such a pity she doesn't like me back.”

“She?” He looked up sharply, dropping his hand back. “Oh. I guess… Just give her some time.” He reached for the file next to his wo

  • Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority   His first kiss

    Guel poked his head in, smiling. My heart, which had been seeking excuses to jump out of my chest, picked up from where it stopped as he stepped into my office, looking more handsome than I had ever seen him. The purple button-down shirt he wore had three buttons open, going against the rules in the office about the number of open buttons allowed, but my eyes weren't complaining. My eyes ran down to his dark blue slacks and office shoes before they returned to his face, my cheeks heating when I realized he was staring at me.I coughed to ease the awkwardness. “What are you doing here?” I tried to sound as professional as I could without giving out my flipping stomach with restless butterflies flapping around, seeking an escape route. I rose, grabbed the bouquet, and looked around for the place I would keep it before dropping it back after I realized I didn't have much better options. Awkwardly, I stood there, looking at him.He grinned. “I came to see you. Thought we could go through

  • Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority   Always the second option

    He was taken aback by that. Blinking, he glanced at the choker I had given him, his brows furrowed. “Why? Didn't you say you liked it?” He stared at my hand without moving to take what I was offering. Yeah, I loved it, a little too much. If only it were mine. He bought it for the lady he liked. He didn't have me in mind when he purchased it. It wasn't for me, else I would have shown my appreciation in ways he would have loved.I shook my head. “I don't like it. I only accepted the choker because you wanted me to do that, nothing else.”I knew I was lying, but that was the only way to keep my feelings hidden from him. I strode to my couch, with the choker still in my palm. It hurts, thinking of parting with it now that I'd felt the thrill, the rush that comes with getting gifted something I had always wanted, even if it wasn't meant for me.“But —”“Just give it to the woman you choose. I'm certain they will appreciate it.” Even at that, I didn't let the choker go. I gripped it hard,

  • Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority   It's not mine to keep

    He smiled, shook his head if what he was about to ask was absurd. I stared hard at my feet, embarrassed by how readily I was to do whatever he asked. If only he weren't so innocent, he would have known my love for him. I didn't need to stare long at the mirror to know the face I had while staring at him. When I looked up, I noticed he was still warring with my mind and had to step in. "What's it?"I was practically begging with my eyes for him to tell me what it was. I was far gone, eager to know what it was and hoping secretly that it would be something thrilling. Since he had just asked to see the choker on me, surely, he would ask for something along that line. Right?"Can I... Can I..." He rubbed the back of his neck and averted his gaze. I stared, waiting for him to tell me what it was before my stupid mouth blurted something absurd out."I know this is too much to request, but I've decided." He held my gaze this time. I wondered if his eyes had looked so green as they did at

  • Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority   Anything for you

    Not for the first time I wondered if he had a thing for me, staring at me like that as if he couldn't get enough of me, but I knew it was all in my mind. There was no way someone like him would actually like me. It was impossible.He got up from the couch and stalked towards…Okay, he didn't stalk towards me. It was just my deranged mind believing otherwise, despite knowing it was no use.“You look good,” he breathed, his gaze not leaving my neck as he advanced closer, practically in a slow-mo. My cheeks heated, and I averted my gaze to hide the flush on them. I liked how he sounded, almost like he was enthralled by me. “What do you like more, the choker on me or…?” I bit back those words before my desperation could make me say them out loud. I wasn't that desperate. Or am I?“I was right. It fits you perfectly,” he continued, having not heard my question. I should have been glad about that, grateful he didn't catch those remarks, but I wasn't.“Can you turn so I can see how it looks

  • Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority   Wrong decision?

    Guel's look of awe didn't ease even when we stepped into my apartment. That it was the penthouse made him almost lose his cool. He couldn't stop admiring the place, his eyes sparkling like a kid who had been nowhere in the city but the company.“Have a seat,” I gestured to the couch, walking over to my minibar to get a drink, before I paused. “What would you like to have? I have practically any drink you want.”“Do you have a beer?”I almost did a double-take at his request. I was expecting him to request water, juice, or something. Isn't that what an innocent twenty-year-old would ask for?“Mr Asher?”Blinking, I forced a smile to hide the nerves, “Yeah, I do. I will get it for you. Just relax.” I changed my course since he didn't order for wine, and went to my fridge to get the beer for him. Returning to the parlour, I placed the can of beer on the table, my hands shaking at his stare. I stood back, the nervous smile still on my face. “Enjoy.”He flashed a smile and picked up the

  • Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority   He wouldn't even know what to do with it

    ASHERDamn it, Ash, you need to stop thinking Guel has a thing for you. Just because he asked to see the damned choker on you doesn't mean he likes you. He has a lady he's madly in love with, one he wants to please. He's straight, not gay! I tried to tell myself, but it seemed like my body only knew how to react to his name, and my damned heart seemed to have fallen deeply in love with him. 'No, this isn't right.'I had lived longer than him and hadn't fallen for anyone. I loved being free, but…. Okay, I'd always dreamt of being loved, of having the perfect daddy, a Dom who would take the reins. Guel just isn't the man. He's too soft, younger than me, and knows shit about intimacy. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a virgin. He's just as clueless as fuck, wouldn't even know what to do with his dick if a woman is naked…Right? So why do I always feel bad when he speaks to women? I shouldn't, right? Someone as clueless as Guel wouldn't be the perfect daddy for me. Even though he
