This fun little flash story I wrote to cheer up a friend who was having a bad day. I'm not sure if this is the right category.
"Candy! The copy machine guy is here to fix the damn thing!"
Candy grumbled under her breath, 'it was about damn time he showed up'. The thing broke on Monday and everyone in the office complained to her for the last three days about it. In addition to her own work, Candy's co-worker took vacation that week, so she was saddled with that work, and to top everything off, the boss was on a tear. Candy was fully prepared to read the repair guy the riot act as soon as he walked in her office.
"Hi. I'm here to fix the copier." A calm voice pierced Candy's gloomy day.
She looked up and her frustrations poured out, "You should have been here Tuesday! If you had been, my week would have gone a whole lot better! But you didn't and all I've heard is bitch, bitch, bitch! Now get over there and fix the damn thing!"
The repair man smiled at her and walked over to the copier. He set his bag down and powered the copier off. He worked on it for the next ten minutes, then powered it on and ran some test papers.
He turned and smiled at Candy, then walked over to her office door and closed it. She heard the lock click before she could say anything. He turned to her and the look in his face showed that she might be in trouble.
He crossed over to her desk and knelt down beside her, "You, young lady, are quite rude. I for one, do not tolerate rudeness."
He spun her chair to face him. She could see him undressing her with his eyes.
"You have two choices. I can take out the part I put in the copier and come back next week with the "right" part or, you can stand up and take your punishment for your rudeness. The choice is up to you, but you have ten seconds to decide."
At first, Candy could not believe the impertinence of this man. Her eyes searched his face and could tell he was absolutely serious. Him leaving with the copier still broken till the following week would make the office unbearable, all the bitching and complaining from her coworkers for something she had no control over.
And yet, she felt strangely aroused by the thought. She could feel her buried submissive tendencies clawing their way to the surface. Her heart beat a bit faster and she could feel a flush rising up her chest. Candy felt her choice was simple, endure a punishment or put up with complaining.
Candy lowered her eyes and whispered, "Leave the copier fixed. I'll...I want to take the punishment."
He leaned forward and growled in her ear, "Stand up and put your hands on your desk, palms down."
