Chapter One
Crossing her long legs, which were clad in their usual almost sheer black stockings, Ella Dawson stared angrily across the paper-strewn table at her most recent client.
"This really will not do, Mr Brodie! It is your responsibility to have all your paperwork together so that I can work out your tax liability. This mess is impossible to sort out! You may be a very successful businessman despite your youth but if you do not keep proper accounts then the Inland Revenue will be down on you like a ton of bricks! Then you will be selling your flash car to pay off the punitive fine and possibly spending some time behind bars!"
Swallowing hard at the thought of the tax people chasing him, Luke Brodie tried to avoid the accusing glare from the dark green eyes on the other side of the table. Of course, the damned woman was right! That was what made her all the more infuriating. He had been recommended to her by a mutual friend; a business acquaintance who knew that he was struggling to keep up with the infernal paperwork that every small business seemed to create, especially one which was as phenomenally successful as his. The idea had flashed into his mind during a boring college lecture and he had lost no time putting it into practice. Sales of his miniature Wifi photocopier had mushroomed and now, at the incredibly tender age of twenty-eight, he was already a millionaire, albeit one in danger from the rapacious demands of the taxman if he didn't get his affairs sorted out.
"Yeah, well, that's what I am paying you for, Miss Dawson, isn't it?" he remarked, being flippant and instantly regretting it as her emerald eyes bored into him like laser beams.
"You are paying me for a professional service, young man. I am not your mother so I do not intend to tidy up after you!
"Perhaps you should widen your professional services!" observed Luke as a vision of her stretched out naked on his king-sized bed flashed enticingly through his mind. She was incredibly hot, he thought for a lady of her age. Somewhere in her late thirties, he reckoned although she looked younger than that. However, with all her impressive professional qualifications, she had to be a good ten years older than him.
"Perhaps I should!" responded Ella, anger at his attitude slithering into her mind. It was so tempting to stand up and walk out of his house and leave him to find someone else but she hated turning her back on a challenge...especially as their mutual friend had dared her to change the arrogant young man's ways.
"He's a nice guy deep down but he has got a bit of an attitude problem at times," Carla had told her over a drink. "He needs sorting out so someone with a firm hand like you..."
Her friend had blushed then because her bottom cheeks were still hot and stinging after Ella had put her over her knee a bare half an hour before.
"You were saying?" Ella had remarked, raising one perfectly-arched eyebrow.
"He just needs someone to make him change his ways, Ella! I dare you to have a go!"
"You dare me? Hmm, dangerous words, Carla. I accept but in return, if I succeed in changing this friend of yours, then I expect you to become my slave properly. Agreed?"
Carla had paused and thought about it for some time, fear and excitement flooding through her at the idea. She had always been content to be spanked and teased to distraction by Ella, who she had known since university, but the thought of anything more had frightened her a little bit. However, as she had just finished with her latest boyfriend, another no-hoper, she decided that she would risk it at last.
"Agreed!"
"Excellent! I have been waiting for several years for you to make that commitment and when I win, I am going to make you get a tattoo on that pretty arse of yours. Property of Miss Dawson. If found, return to owner at once!"
"You wouldn't?"
"You'll have to wait and see, won't you?"
Smiling slightly at the memory and the thought of how Carla had licked her aching pussy later that evening, Ella decided that it was time to go for broke. Standing up swiftly, she grinned inwardly as she saw the look of anxiety flicker across Luke's face.
"I am going for a walk for an hour or so, young man. When I return, I expect this mess to be tidy...or at least tidier! If it isn't then I am going to put you over my knee and give you a bloody good spanking to punish you like the little boy that you are reminding me of! Clearly, your parents did not bother to discipline you at all!" stated Ella coldly, face set firmly, before she strode out, leaving her client open-mouthed and red-faced in his chair.
What would he do? Ella ruminated on that thought as she strode down the pavement outside his house and headed towards the cliff path which would offer her a glorious view of the sea. Would he clear the mess up and get it organised or would he just leave it, thinking that there was no way that she would carry out her threat? Just try me, young man, she thought to herself with a wry grin. It was quite some time since she had had a man to discipline and she was looking forward to having another chance. Women were delightful to control but there was something about breaking a man's will and making him crawl for her that spoke to her psyche as did the beautiful expanse of the still sea stretching out before her as she reached the edge of the cliff. She breathed in deeply and inhaled the raw ozone, green eyes staring out at the distant horizon and a small yacht whose white sail looked like a gull's wing. The breeze ruffled her shoulder-length hair and teased the flesh of her calves through her sheer stockings as she walked along the path, high heels click-clacking as they counted down the seconds one by one.
What was that all about? Luke swept his fingers through his dark hair in an unconscious gesture of dismay as he tried to sort out what had just happened. The authoritative slam of the front door still echoed in his ears as did the threat she had uttered and, to his amazement, he suddenly realised that his cock was as hard as rock. Was the thought of being put over her knee that enticing? He smiled ruefully as he admitted to himself that it was indeed. He could just imagine sliding over her nylons and feeling her firm thighs... Stop thinking like that! He knew that he should be thinking about the papers strewn over the table and whether he wanted to sort them out or not...whether he wanted to keep this Miss Dawson as his accountant or not. Carla, who part-owned one of the restaurants he frequented, had recommended the woman but had failed to mention that she was a real ballbreaker! His cock pulsed powerfully at the idea of Miss Dawson teasing his balls with her long fingers, running her fingernails down the taut scrotal sac or up across his sensitive glans.
"No bloody tip for Carla next time I am in her restaurant eating a meal!" Luke murmured, glancing at the clock and discovering to his surprise that a good ten minutes of his allotted hour had passed already.
Standing up, he leant over the table and dragged the offending pile of papers that had spilt haphazardly out of a manila file towards him. God, it was all so boring. Whoever had invented paper needed shooting! This was meant to be the age of the computer and the death of paper yet the opposite seemed to have happened. Now there were more bits of paper flying about than ever before. Something that Luke supposed he should be grateful for really as lots of them ended up being photocopied on one of his miniature machines! He tossed one sheet idly down on another and sat back down, deflated by the Sisyphean task ahead of him.
"I think I am going to call her bluff," he muttered, smiling to himself as he envisaged her disappointment when she returned and found that he had done nothing. Surely, independent accountants needed the work in these straitened times? Miss Dawson would almost certainly have cooled off after her walk and be ameliorated by the offer that he would make of a little more money then he could ask her out to dinner afterwards! Ply her with plenty of alcohol and see what that slim body was like under her conservative business suit! Or, if she remained inflexible, perhaps he would be treated to her hand smacking his arse? His cock hardened again and he laughed at his own optimism, settled comfortably in his chair and waited for the rest of the hour to pass by.
