AUTHOR'S NOTE: Don't worry, y'all! There's a reason Daniel "threw Connee away." You'll find out soon! She didn't bother retrieving anything of her things because she didn't care. She had nothing but clothes and knick knacks. It would be too hard for her to go back. It just wasn't explained, I don't think. I wrote this two years ago, so the quality will not slip.
Connee was a slave to Daniel. Regardless, she's still a submissive by nature. True, they are not the same. I am currently a sub yet I call Him Master, though I am not His slave. This is a fic, not an educational novel. There are so many levels to BDSM and this story reflects my view only.
Keep the comments coming so I can clarify if I need to. And please remember to vote. They make me smile.

For weeks that continued. He'd call on me then say he didn't want anything. I thought it was funny at first. It reminded me of Taming of the Shrew and I was Kate. I would wait ten minutes, the next time five minutes then found myself jumping up out of my chair and standing before him within seconds. Then when the mood struck him, he'd come into my office and ask for the income for the week, or for daily totals, or hourly drink totals if he really wanted to aggravate me, which was becoming more and more often.
---------------
On the last night of my 60-day trial period my desk phone rang. It was my private line, the one for business calls. I recognized the number as Hiliad's cell phone. Picking up the receiver I didn't even say hello; I just remained silent.
"Connee, can I have Steve Lawson's cell phone number?"
I immediately relaxed. Looking in the computer I read the number off to him. He didn't thank me but hung up. Guess two could play at that game.
But what bugged me was the fact that I'd paid several invoices to Lawson's Equipment Supply Company. I could never tell exactly what equipment was purchased, but Hiliad always approved payment so I'd pay it, no questions asked.
Five minutes later there was another knock on the door. "Tell Hiliad I'm busy!" I huffed.
"Hiliad doesn't care that you are busy," the man himself said as he sauntered into the room and sat on the arm rest of the chair across from my desk.
"Oh, sorry, Hiliad."
"You know what word I hate the most?"
"No," I said, humoring him, meaning the word 'no.'
"That's true. The other word is sorry."
"Hmm," I mocked, "I'm so sorry."
"You know, I don't think I like you anymore," he said seriously, but his eyes were light.
"Hey, you were the one that wanted me feisty."
"Again, true. How do you like things here?"
"Fine." And I really did. The people I spoke to on the phone were so intimidated by Hiliad, as if he were the King of the Vampires that I got anything I wanted and they were nice as pie. The work was easy and I completed all my tasks before I left for work every night.
"Daniel called me the other day," he stated.
"Really?" I asked, making sure my voice was not interested. My heart was.
"Do you miss him?"
"None of your business ... boss."
He grinned. "Liza and I have been talking."
"That's good. Communication is key." I snickered.
"Now I know I don't like you," he chortled. "What are your thoughts of perhaps doing a scene?"
"Absolutely not."
"That makes me sad. Liza is impressed with your strength, and we found a human that is curious about subbing."
"You're kidding me," I muttered.
"Far from it. We both think you could handle it."
"Tell you what—I'll let you know when pigs fly."
"Alright. and when they do, let me know how keen you are on the idea," he said as he stood and walked towards the door. "Midnight in the basement. Susie will be prepped."
"Prepped?" I asked, but he'd already walked out the door. I'd be damned if I'd step out of my professional boundaries with Mr. Hiliad Fildri.
---------------
Mr. Hiliad Fildri is nothing if not persistent.
Every single night for two weeks I'd get a call from him at exactly 11:58 p.m. I didn't need a clock to tell the time. First it started, "Your sub, Susie, is prepped now. Hope to see you in two minutes." I declined. Click on his end. That went on for a few days.
Then for a few nights it was, "The sub is prepped. You have two minutes." I declined.
Click.
Three days went by.
Then last night the phone rang right on the dot. "Now." Click. No refusal on my end, just click. Gotta love Hiliad's politeness.
And on every single one of those nights I made myself steer clear of Susie the sub. I had dreams of tearing the bitch's eyes out—did I say I have a jealous streak? But it was much more difficult keeping my emotions (and pussy) under control when Hiliad came into my office or I'd pass him in the hall. Getting a glimpse of his bare, tightly muscled forearms and his rear view just made me have to readjust my thong because it always ran up just the wrong way to cause serious pain, er, pleasure.
The night that I accepted—or was tricked into, if truth be told—being Domme Connee, I got the call at the designated time. I picked up the phone and said, "No, Hiliad and stop—"
"I need you to pull the invoices from June ..." Blah. Blah. Blah.
"Those are in the base ... oh, nice try, Hiliad. You're not gonna get me down there."
"The Auditor is coming in in two days, and I'm sure you know the consequ—" He may have sounded serious but I could just hear the grin on his face through the phone.
But he was right. With Hiliad's head games I'd forgotten that the 2nd quarter reports were due, and I needed to pull a lot of files. "Fine. But I'm only grabbing the files!" I hung up the phone before he could say anything further.
When I opened the door to the basement, my ears were assaulted with Enigma before me and Moon Dance behind me from the club. I took a deep breath and descended the stairs, keeping my eyes on the next step. I heard a woman whimper from the right of the room and almost tripped. Hitting the concrete floor, I turned left to the storage room door and went in. Even in the small space I could still hear the cries of an obviously ecstatic woman, obviously Susie, who was obviously getting flogged and enjoying it. Obviously. Finally finding the box I was looking for, although my mind was elsewhere—on my ass, actually—I headed back out the door to the bottom of the stairs.
SMACK. Female moan. Don't look, don't look I kept telling myself as I headed up. FWAP! Female gasp. Four more steps ... three more steps ... don't look.
On the last step, I made the worst mistake—I looked in the direction of the woman's moans. She, Susie I assumed, was lying on her back on the slate table, blindfolded, naked and tied up with her arms and legs spread apart. Hiliad had the flogger in one hand and the leather straps in the other, looking directly at me with his damned mischievous grin. Dickhead.
Hiliad nodded his head to his side, indicating I join him. I stood frozen. Keeping his eyes on me, he pulled back on the flogger and flicked it hard on Susie's stomach that made her squirm her hips and moan loudly. My pussy felt the impact. Double dickhead!
I shook my head and ran up the last steps, almost running into Doug as I ran through the hall back to my office. I made it but my thong had repositioned itself against my clit. I tore them off from under my sundress. I sure as shit didn't need any more friction on that spot. I hadn't had sex since Daniel kicked me out. But let's just say I should have bought stock in the Energizer Battery Company.
