me. We were so close I could feel his heart beating. I wondered why

 

he was so nervous. The moment was broken by the sound of his

 

phone. He stepped back and pulled it from his jacket pocket to look

 

at the screen. “I’m sorry, I have to take this,” he held up his finger

 

and stepped away from me. I sat back down in my seat, and so did

 

he. He was talking to someone named Steve about clients that

 

weren’t happy and wanted a sweeter deal. He ran his hands through

 

his hair and leaned back in chair.
His eyes locked on me while he was listening to Steve talk. I

 

began to feel self-conscious about the way he was looking at me. His

 

eyes sent heat through my body. I felt plain and extremely ordinary

 

compared to him. I had no idea why a man like him would buy a

 

woman like me. Then he mouthed something to me, but I didn’t

 

understand him. I held up my hands to show I didn’t understand and

 

he mouthed it again.

 

Kiss me

 

I smiled and laughed a little, then stood up and walked to

 

him. He opened his lap and I sat down. He moved the phone to other

 

ear and I leaned to kiss him. It wasn’t the kiss I expected with him

 

being on the phone. He ran his hand up my bare leg and explored my

 

mouth with his tongue. After a few seconds I took over and grabbed

 

his head with both hands and really kissed him. He grunted a little

 

and pulled away a little to say something in the phone. I felt brave

 

and a little sexy so I moved my mouth to his neck and he leaned his

 

head back against the chair.
I loosened his tie and pulled at his jacket. He leaned up and I

 

helped him out of it. When I came back to his lap he had moved the

 

phone to the other ear, and I started kissing that side of his neck and

 

ear. I could feel him getting hard against my leg across his lap and

 

felt proud of myself for doing that to him. He leaned the phone to his

 

shoulder and used his left hand to run up my thigh. He stopped

 

when he felt the lace of my panties. He moved my mouth back to

 

his, and used both of his hands to press me against his lap. I slipped

 

off my shoes and moved my legs so I could straddle him. He pushed

 

my dress up and helped my legs wrap around him. He leaned up and

 

kissed my neck while he unbuttoned the top of my dress. As the top

 

fell in front of me, he leaned away and shouted something in the

 

phone. I had no idea how he was able to keep his mind on two things

 

at once. Then he took my nipple in his mouth. I started to hum and

 

he covered my mouth with his hand. He moved to the other breast

 

and I put my hands on his head.
This was one of those moments when I wanted him so bad,

 

but dreaded when it was over because he would leave, or say

 

something to make me feel cheap or possibly hurt me. I took the tie

 

from his neck and unbuttoned his shirt. I moved myself off his lap to

 

the floor and knelt in front of him. I gently touched his skin as I

 

moved my hands to his belt. He locked his eyes on me and I licked

 

my lips as I started to undo his buckle. He leaned the phone against

 

his shoulder, and quickly moved his hands to help me. He pulled his

 

length out and stroked it a couple times before I took over. I stroked

 

him, then took him in my mouth. I heard him gasp and mumbled

 

something like ‘Oh fuck’, then he informed Steve he wasn’t talking to

 

him. I moved my mouth up and down, and I could feel his eyes on

 

me. He moved my hair to get a better view. I licked the tip and

 

twirled my tongue around it. He started telling Steve he was going to

 

have to talk about this tomorrow but apparently Steve didn’t want to

 

talk tomorrow. He touched my chin as I moved up and down on him.
When I took him in all the way to the back of my throat, he

 

stood up and grabbed the back of my head. His hips moved fast and I

 

kept up the pace. I started to hum with enjoyment and he picked up

 

the pace even faster. I felt his body tensing up and knew what was

 

about to happen. “Steve, I don’t know what to say! You’re going to

 

have to handle it tonight the best you can! I have to go! I’ll see you in

 

the office tomorrow!” He slammed the phone of the table and took

 

the back of my head with both hands and held me in place. He

 

pressed himself in a few more times and then his body relaxed

 

completely. I licked the tip and then grabbed the napkin off the table

 

to wipe my mouth. He let out a long sigh, closing his eyes while he

 

tucked himself back in his pants. Then he grabbed my arms and

 

pulled me to my feet. “Why did you do that?” he didn’t sound

 

happy. His eyes looked scary. “I didn’t ask you to do it, why did you

 

do that?” I swallowed hard and lowered my eyes. “I thought you

 

would like it, sir.” I wasn’t sure what mood this was. I thought this

 

would make him happy. He seemed to enjoy it, but now he seemed

 

pissed. His grip loosened on me.
“Is that the only reason?” he asked a little softer this time. I

 

looked up at him.

 

“I guess….I guess I wanted to do it too. I wanted to feel in

 

control and I wanted to please you,” I whispered. “Are you mad?” I

 

asked. His eyes soften.

 

“I’m not mad,” his sweet voice was back. “And it did please

 

me very much, it’s just, I don’t want,” he stopped. He closed his eyes

 

as if he was thinking about his next remark.

 

“You don’t want what?” I asked. He shook his head.

 

“Never mind,” he breathed out. He pulled me to his chest

 

and kissed my hair. “Liam,” he said in a very quiet voice. “My name is

 

Liam.” I leaned back to look at him and laughed, thinking of his

 

comment in the shower.

 

Chapter six

 

Liam had finally decided that since she was going to be with

 

him for an undetermined amount of time, he would train her to his

 

liking. He didn’t want a slave per say, but he could train her to be his

 

submissive. He knew this wasn’t a life she wanted and not the

 

situation he wanted either, but here they were together. She was

 

beautiful, sweet, sexy, and Liam was extremely attracted to her, or

 

he wouldn’t have paid so much for her. She liked being with him,

 

when he was nice to her and even tolerated him when he was cruel.

 

He decided to try to make this negative a positive. He wasn’t sure

 

how positive she would think it was, but the situation was what it

 

was and nothing could change what had already happened.

 

Liam walked her back to her room and watched her walk

 

around the bed, sit down and take off her shoes. “Did you have a

 

nice evening?” he asked. She nodded and asked if he enjoyed it as

 

well. He laughed and said he did very much. “It’s late, you should get

 

some sleep,” he turned to leave.
“Wait,” she said. He turned and she walked to him. She

 

stepped close to him and he pulled her to him. “Thank you for a

 

lovely evening. I hope we can do it again soon,” she stood on her tip

 

toes and kissed him lightly on his lips.

 

“Oh I want to do that again too, and soon, don’t you worry

 

about that,” they laughed a little and kissed her nose. “I had a nice

 

evening too, Norah.” He pulled her to him and kissed her with force.

 

“Stay with me,” she breathed in his mouth. He pulled away. “I

 

can’t. I really can’t.” He stepped back and walked out. He closed the

 

door behind him and closed his eyes. He wanted to stay he really did.

 

But she wasn’t ready for anything like that. He enjoyed the blowjob

 

very much, but wasn’t sure if she did it for her or him. He wanted to

 

tell her he didn’t want her to feel like she had to blow him to please

 

him. He loved it, but he wanted her to want to do it, not feel she had

 

to. He knew if he laid in a bed with her he would have to hold her.

 

Holding her would lead to him kissing her, and if he kissed her, he

 

would have to touch her. Touching her would lead to him laying on

 

top of her, and then he would have to move his body against hers.
Before he even knew what had happened he would be buried

 

deep inside her and wouldn’t be able to hear her screams for him to

 

stop. He wasn’t sure she would want him to stop, but he couldn’t

 

take the chance until he was sure how she felt about him or even

 

how he truly felt about her. They were in confusing territory right

 

now. He had told her if she was nice to him, he would be nice to her.

 

So had she pleasured him tonight just to be nice, so he would be

 

nice? Or so he wouldn’t be so mean. He didn’t know, and he

 

couldn’t take the chance that it was true.

 

He went to his room changed his clothes and went down to

 

his gym. He did his best thinking while working out. After a little over

 

an hour on the treadmill he decided that maybe he had rushed

 

things a little with her. He knew she hated being alone, but he

 

needed some space between them before he did something he

 

would regret. Space might make their feelings clearer to both of

 

them. Maybe it was a good time for to take a business trip. They

 

were having problems in Houston anyway.
The next morning he woke her up pretty early. It was still

 

dark outside. Her eyes were confused at first, then she sat up quickly

 

and asked him if everything was ok. He smiled at her and touched

 

her face. She was so beautiful, even just waking up.

 

“Everything is fine, little one. I just have to go out of town for

 

a few days,” he paused for her reaction. She lowered her eyes and

 

her head. She griped the covers and then released them.

 

“Take me with you,” she said. Her comment was unexpected.

 

He had taken subs on business trips before, but this situation wasn’t

 

the typical sub relationship.

 

“I wish I could, but I can’t. Not this time, Norah.” He touched

 

her hand trying to give her some kind of reassurance. She pulled her

 

knees to her chest and wiped her face with her blankets.

 

“You can. I won’t give you any trouble, I promise. I just want

 

to be with you.” This made Liam smile.

 

“You just don’t want to be alone. It wouldn’t matter if you

 

were with me or not.”
“That isn’t true. I mean, I hate being alone, true, but I do

 

want to be with you. I feel like every time you feel yourself getting

 

close to me, you have to do something to push me away.” Liam

 

stood up and crossed the room. “You don’t have to push me away,

 

Liam.” It was the first time she had used his name. He turned to face

 

her. He could see the concern in her face. He knew she wasn’t sure if

 

she should have said his name or not. He put his hands in his

 

pockets. His look turned cold, and predator like.

 

“I told you my name little one, because you worked for it. But

 

I certainly didn’t give you permission to use it. Maybe a few days

 

alone will remind you that you are not my girlfriend, we aren’t in

 

love, and I am the one in charge here.” He slammed the door when

 

he left. He cursed himself on the way to the airport. She was right,

 

she could see right through him. Whenever he felt her getting to

 

close he did or said something to put her back in her place. If he was

 

following Will’s stage theory, he had no idea what stage this would

 

be. The Jackal/Hyde stage, maybe?
He decided to make a stop by Will’s house before the airport.

 

Liam was surprised to say the least when Jane answered the door.

 

“Hello. Will will be right down, please come in.” Her voice

 

was even and pleasant. She called him Will, which was also a

 

surprise. Liam stood in the kitchen watching Jane move around the

 

room. She offered him coffee, tea, water, whatever he wanted. Liam

 

just shook her off. Will finally came down and the men shook hands.

 

“Come to get some advice, Mr. Hastings?” Will asked and

 

laughed a little. “Not able to close the deal or does she still hate

 

you?” Liam made a gesture toward Jane, and Will told him to ignore

 

her. “I see you actually knew what you were talking about. Maybe I

 

should have followed the Will Chamber’s five point plan.” Will patted

 

him the back and they walked to his study where he shut the doors.

 

“So what’s the problem? What stage are you on? There’s really no

 

formula for a time limit on these stages. Sometimes it takes longer

 

on some, not as long on others.” He took a sip of coffee. “Jane went

 

through fear and respect very quick. She was a fast learner. I had to

 

invent things that she had done wrong just so I could continue to
punish her.” He laughed. He really was a sick bastard. But Liam didn’t
