I walked into my office, my morning latte in hand, half consumed from the walk from the café. My assistant had arrived earlier, preparing me for the day. Jayashree had three Manila folders in the middle of my desk, placed where I couldn't miss them. I put down my drink and removed my overcoat, hanging the leather covering on the old wooden rack in the corner.
"Good morning, Sir," my lovely, exotic aide meekly said as I passed her naked bottom. She was leaning on the antique oak desk, on her forearms. The hem of her skirt was over her hips. She was without panties: Something I had demanded and something she lovingly accepted. I walked to my closet, causing her to squirm with anticipation.
"Did my Princess enjoy her evening?" I asked. I had my back to her, but I knew her hips were grinding against an unseen hand. I noticed the way she was leaning gave me a perfect view of her dark brown labia. I smiled knowing that I could touch them, kiss them, and caress them whenever I wanted. I saw she had on the gift I gave to her for becoming my Princess: An amethyst clit ring. She absolutely adored it.
"Yes, Your Princess did," she breathlessly whispered. I smiled; from both anticipating the action to come and that, she had appreciated her night. I grabbed her favorite, a beige flogger with five tails made softened leather. I closed the door, making a loud sound doing so.
"I'm glad you did, Princess." I moved to her ass, the color of caramel, and tenderly caressed it with my left hand. "You make me happy," I said. I raised the flogger before she could thank me. The sound of rushing air came too quickly for her to react before leather smacked her bottom.
She didn't move, didn't make a sound. Her body tensed some, but that was expected. I raised the toy again and held it high.
"Princess appreciates Sir knows how to treat her," she said before I hit her bottom for a second time, on the opposite cheek from the initial hit. She wiggled her ass slightly, but caught it quickly, before I could admonish her for not staying still.
"Thank you, Sir," she whispered. Three, four more blows from my whip caused her to state similar words. Two more on each cheek and the morning's flogging ended.
"Can Princess cover herself?" Jayashree asked. She knew I wanted to caress her ass more, loving so, but she had permission to ask.
"No, My Princess," I sternly answered. I closed the closet and turned to her. I could only shake my head at what a lucky man I truly was, for finding such a willing and loving submissive, open to most of what I liked, what I found sexual and sensual. I placed my hand above her skin and felt heat rise. I left no scarring marks, but redness had begun to show.
She moaned when I touched her left cheek. She didn't look back, just held her head down while I stroked her lovely, hot skin, admiring my work. She fell further onto the desk, collapsing from the pleasure the pain offers to her. I shook my head and smiled, moved to my chair to begin the workday.
I took a sip of my latte, turned on my laptop, and looked at my pet. She was smiling broadly, her dark brown eyes closed. She looked content, like a sleeping kitten. I hated, always didn't like, waking her from her pleasure-educed naps, but I had an agency to run, and she was my most important contributor to its running.
I stood, leaned forward, and carefully moved her hair from her forehead. I gently kissed her. "Time to get back to work," I whispered.
Her eyes fluttered like butterfly wings. Jayashree smiled when her eyes met mine. "I'm sorry, Sir, I must have dozed off." She slinked up off the desktop and stretched. She pushed down the hem of her skirt and smoothed it with both hands. She glanced at the clock and noticed that the other employees would be coming soon.
"If there's nothing you need of Your Princess," she said, more of a question than statement. I shook my head and opened a folder. She quietly left the office, closing the door, notifying me that she was ready to return to being my executive administrative assistant.
The folders were paperwork that needed my signature. Being a private investigator isn't as glamorous as novels, television, and movies portray. Most times, it is long hours of sitting in a car, waiting for a brief moment so you can snap pictures, or digging through garbage, or spending hours in front of a computer researching. This was one of those times. With that work done, I clicked on the word processor icon and found where I left off on a case report: Another not-so-dazzling part of my world.
"Remy," Jayashree said as she opened the office door and knocked. "There's someone here to see you." She slowly closed the door behind her. "He doesn't have an appointment, but you're schedule is clear for the day." She smiled mischievously.
"Did he tell you what he wants?" I reached into my top drawer and pulled out a steno pad and pen. I was anticipating that we were going to have a new client.
"He believes his wife is cheating on him."
"What's your impression of him?" She has a good gift of reading people's emotions, can tell instantly if they're anger or sorrow is true. It's greatly helped me in the past and will do so in the future.
She nodded. "He honestly is hurt."
"Okay, send him in."
She turned and opened the door. "You can come in, Mr. Allerton. He'll see you."
In walked a beaten man, emotionally beaten down. He was gaunt and pale. His shoulders drooped. There was no spring to his step. I shook his hand, introduced myself and motioned for him to take a seat on the couch. Jayashree stepped out of the office for a moment.
"Thank you for meeting with me," he began. My assistant returned with a bottle of water and a small tumbler. She offered them to Allerton, but he shook his head. She placed them on my desk, just in case he changed his mind.
"What can I do for you?" I grabbed a chair and slid it in front of him.
For the next three hours, Kurt Allerton explained his feelings and suspicions about his wife, Sylvia. Though they've never failed to be passionate over their nine years of marriage, it's only been over the last year that she's been acting questionably. He told us that it started when she spent a week in Buffalo, at her job's home office.
Normally when they were apart, they would spend an hour or two on the phone, talking about their day. However, when she arrived in her hotel, she called but talked for only 15 minutes, begging off to go to bed. Allerton thought nothing of it, since him, too, had traveled by air and felt tired once he arrived.
The next day, her call was late. She sounded as if she had been drinking. He told us that he could hear others in her room, but when he questioned Sylvia, she answered it was the television. This happened again the next day, and the day after.
At this point, Mr. Allerton said this was when he thought she was having an affair. The voices he heard through the phone, though not male, were hushed. I asked if he confronted his wife when she arrived home. He answered that he did, but she yelled and told him that he was out of his mind.
Allerton asserted that this was just the beginning of her strange behavior. She would insist on going out after work twice weekly, to spend time with the girls. He informed us that she never wanted to this, that there were no "girls" before the trip.
I asked for more occasions of odd or changed behavior. He gave me several, including one last week when she rushed out of the house after receiving a phone call at midnight, without giving any reason or explanation when she returned three hours later.
