Disclaimer: This story is entirely fictional and both characters mentioned are over the age of 21.
It's been over a year since we both started this job. Stella and I have had a rocky relationship throughout the past year, going from almost dating to not talking to being stuck in this limbo. However, having been staffed on the same long intense project led us to develop a weird dynamic between us.
You see, Stella is a woman unlike any other I ever met. She stood at just 5'4'', was athletic, and took care of her appearance. She was built just right, having all the perfect curves. Her dark smooth hair fell on her shoulders and is very well accentuated by her darker skin. Her eyes were brown and intense, but her best feature was her smile. She made me melt with every smile. Oh, and she had this mystical allure, that always had me yearning for more. Something about her just captivated me.
Throughout our rocky relationship, we have gone from daily texting to ignoring each other. We've not talked for months, and we've gotten drunk together. We shared with each other some deep secrets, including our past experiences, our fears, our problems etc.
Recently though, Stella had been ignoring me again, the reason being unbeknownst to me. This was not the first time she'd ignored me, but this time frustrated me more than before. While we were sitting in my office working, I let out my frustration at her by belittling her for taking too long with a seemingly simple task. Immediately, she pointed out to me how she found it really rude that I said that, and I felt my stomach fall. All my frustration turned to fear, as I realized that I was mean to her and was profusely apologizing to her. She said that it was fine, but then proceeded to not talk to me, and even avoiding my presence. I regretted my words, and since then, I have significantly softened my tone with her, and as a result all our interactions have this tension to them now.
A few days after this incident, we were working in my office again and I noticed an error in our code. I pointed it out confidently as hers, only to realize that I made the error after further review. This, of course, angered her, and I was about to apologize, she turned my chair around and told me to shut up.
"You're not gonna learn to know your place with me now are you?"
"Stella, I am so sor-"
"Shut the FUCK up! I will be the one talking now okay? From now on you only respond to me when I allow you to. Since you're not gonna know your place here, and think that you can always get away with your desperate behavior with me, I will teach you a lesson. I will show you where you belong."
With a swift move she lifts her leg and places her foot on my chair.
"Get on your knees. NOW!"
I was taken aback. I couldn't believe what was happening. I looked at her face to see if she was joking, only to be met with the most stern eyes ever. I should have just stood up for myself and prevented her from talking to me like this. Knowing that I am literally twice her size, should have tipped the odds in my favor. But, something about her allure just made me melt right there, and before I even knew it I was on the ground kneeling.
"I knew it! I knew I could have total control over you. I could read you like a book from a mile away. Now here are the rules, you will do only what I tell you to do. That applies to both work and this."
"What even is this?"
"Did I allow you to speak? Kiss my shoe and tell me you're sorry."
"You can't be serious..."
