One shot.
I can feel the knot between my ears about to fucking explode and push my chair back with a sigh. The wheels on this second-hand piece of shit don't even work properly and I veer slightly to the left, the scrape of plastic on wood announcing itself to my internal, frustrated background buzz.
I want to say I'm pissed off but I don't even have it in me to be annoyed. It's been a few hours of this - staring blankly at a tumble of numbers I'm supposed to sort, derive some sense from. R studio isn't working (except it is, I just somehow forgot how to use it) and neither am I.
Reaching for my mug, I realise - too late, always too late- that it's cold. It feels like i've been caught in the rain without an umbrella. Slimy, unready, and with no one to blame.
Except the useless fucking sub who made the tea.
Closing the laptop decisively, probably too hard, I see them twitch in the corner. They've watched me get progressively more annoyed the entire day and managed to be so good. Dressed up so prettily for me. My little bitch. The poor thing has been kneeling for hours, waiting for their owner to notice them. Collared, small leash hanging off. Caged, obviously. It's embarrassing - and flattering, of course - how much they need me. Like air. I could find another of them in a heartbeat, of course. I've never known a man that doesn't secretly want to be put in their place. So much easier for them to just submit, let their mind break.
"Slut?" I look back at my tea, eyeing them over the rim. I keep my voice sweet, gentle.
I see their whole body perk up. They're excited, eyes cast down but widened. They know better than to speak yet. It's a shame. They're too well-trained now.
"It's cold."
Immediately they start to stand and walk over to me to take the mug. I let them approach, reaching out to hand it to them in one hand, then with the other grabbing their chain and yanking it down. A tiny gasp - or maybe a yelp- escapes their throat. They're eye level with me now and I firmly grip their chin and force it up. I love the feeling of my nails digging into their lower jaw, and they let themselves make eye contact for a second, realising- too late- that this is not the kind of attention that they want. I grin at them, savagely. The noise between my ears quietens as I release their jaw and pull their face up to mine, wrapping the chain firmly around my hand. I gently place the mug back on the table.
"I-I'm sorry, I-" I jerk the leash again to silence them. So fucking needy. The words die in their throat in a whimper.
