Note from Sacrificedangel ~ Just a little word of warning to those who normally read my romance work etc. This may not be for you...but you never know, it might! Keep an open mind and comments in the general realm of 'constructive' if possible. This was a story to make a Dom friend of mine smile - and thankfully it had the desired effect. Enjoy!

He was going to kill me.
Not merely an idle thought, but quite possibly a fact considering what I was about to do. I was treading not only the very distinct line of our abstract relationship this afternoon, but perhaps straddling the damn thing, erasing the permanent marker with the lacy tops of Chinese silk stockings, fraying the edges on the constitution of our very own sexual etiquette.
I rounded the corner with a fluttering heart beat, though a sure step; my 5 inch stilettos making a delicious percussion off the rain slick pavement, ringing off in the relative silence of the early evening financial district. The lights were on in his building though, as they had been every night for the past week as he and his associates worked diligently towards the end of the financial year...and the inevitable tax season.
I almost felt guilty. Almost. After all, I have no doubt this was not exactly what he was expecting when he had lost his wager in the Grey Room the month before, his cards failing to trump mine. But that was the deal laid on the table during that hand, a moment of servitude of a Master to his Slut. He had been watching me with an odd look in his eyes most avidly in the first few days...less and less the longer it had been since his uncharacteristic loss. I never truly had the desire to call in the marker...not before last night.
I awoke with the sunrise just as he softly closed my bedroom door, his steady footsteps fading as he crossed my lounge and left my apartment. I felt boneless, replete, and utterly intoxicated lying amongst warm blankets which still carried the scent of him, of us, and of the many hours he had spent as my dearest, darkest Sir. My body bore the marks of his dominance and I had admired them with pride in the mirror before I had soothed my aches in the bath he had run for me.
He needed this, the release, the offloading of tension, and I was more than willing to provide the soft landing. The harder he worked, the tenser he became – but the more I could feel him holding back, as though he did not want to hurt me. I had been hurt...but I could find no fault in each little welt, or bruise. I was there to be used, most freely, and I needed, I yearned to ease him in full. It was last night that I had the epiphany.
Though now...the closer I got, the nerves were beginning to make me question the sanity of my visitation tonight. Would it yield the results I was hoping for? He was a proud man, strength not just in body, but more importantly in character...personality...a prerequisite I believe for the perfectly balanced Dominant. One who could abuse you, leave you sore, and utterly used, and yet it have been a gloriously freeing experience rather than a lesson in cruelty.
How my wonderful, proud Sir felt about my cashing in his marker, was something I did not have an answer for.
Stepping off the kerb as the green man flashed, I strode with purpose towards the brightly lit building of silvery glass and steel and schooled my usually open features. It would not do to show my nerves. The ornate iron gate was closed beside the entrance, but not secured and I stepped through and pressed the intercom before I could lose my nerve and escape as fast as my heeled feet could carry me in the rain.
"We are closed Madam, may I suggest you return on Monday." The tinny voice called over the speaker, a be-spectacled woman appearing on the small screen, eying me with weary eyes.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" I was almost as taken aback as she was at the tone I had conjured from god only knew where, but start as you mean to go on was always a good mantra to follow. "I am Ms Camille Grey from Lystwyrn and Carraway, and I have important documents for Mr Conrad Shaw concerning the end of season account. I would have the name of the employee who would turn me away!"
My demand had the desired effect and I could hear his dulcet tones allowing my admittance when the nervous woman neglected to engage her secrecy button. This was at least to my advantage; I knew he would be dealing with me alone in his office at least, though I was hoping he wouldn't recognise the name I had chosen for tonight – the name of the hand I had dealt to win and the name of his infamous gaming club. The buzzer echoed in the stone archway, and I pushed open the door and entered the dimly lit foyer, a floor below my intended goal. I hesitantly fingered the black collar of my designer raincoat, a beautiful 40s style cross over which I had saved an eternity of overtime in order to purchase, and ensured it at least partially concealed me.
The stylish hat, perfect for the weather only added to the vintage elegance I had donned to pose as someone of Lystwyrn and Carraway consequence, and was necessary at least for me to reach his office unrecognised. Shivering slightly from the chill, I glanced at my stocking clad legs, the beautiful silk shimmering beneath the hem of my raincoat, and allowed myself a tremulous smile before I donned my proud mask and ascended into an organised chaos. Men in shirts with sleeves rolled up moved in a flurry of activity to and fro, dodging passing secretaries with tea trays and sandwiches, in a room that could benefit slightly from a window being opened in order to rid the space of that office-y scent of stale coffee and sweat.
It was evident by all before me that the boss – the one who had absconded with a fair few million of the company's funds – had left his work place in more turmoil than Sir had confided.
The shy be-spectacled intercom lady met me in the space between the desks with a stammer of apology and indicated that I follow her to his office. I glowered, and it must have been convincing for she ducked her head and lead the way swiftly. I cringed a little inside, my niceness almost escaping, desperately wanting to give her a hug and apologise for being such a bitch...but that wasn't the mission here. I ruthlessly crushed down my personality, and informed her that Mr Conrad Shaw and I were not to be disturbed before I entered without a knock and closed the door behind me with a deft click and swift turn of a lock.
"Ms..."
"Ms Camille Grey, Mr Shaw." I stepped forward from the shadow of the door and walked towards him, dropping the slightly rain dotted folder down on his desk in front of him, scattering some of the papers he was diligently surveying like miserable ink-stained confetti. His annoyance, so controlled, flickered at the edges of his features, and I almost ran there and then. But no...this was for him. I needed that annoyance, I needed that anger, that loss of control...Just to prove that he COULD.
To prove that he did not need to hold back - to control his control.
He eyed the folder, its singular content now peeking from the corner, a moment before his gaze met mine. His double take was almost amusing. His bright blue eyes, those which held me in thrall so often as he glided his cock into each of my proffered orifices, flitted twice between mine and the offending marker, recognition sparking swiftly followed by his legendary control being summoned into place when he realised he had to obey with marker in front of him.
He was going to kill me. I had been right on the money there in the rain.
