Quick story synopsis so far:
Evelyn Larue is a 19 year old virgin heiress who was living a double life as a cam girl. Garret Anderson is a 44 year old divorced business owner and amateur body builder who hired her as a favor to her father. Eve attempted to embezzle from the company because she enjoys the feeling of taking from men, but was caught, and has now agreed to be completely subservient to Garret so he won't ruin her life.

Garret had spoken with Janet about Miss Larue and having her sent to his office. He had expressed his thanks for Janet's hard work managing the difficult young woman, and said that he was fed up with the situation himself. He told her that he was going to have a very stern talk with her before driving her back to her father's house on Garret's way home. Janet had seemed remarkably relieved, and he felt bad about the fact that he had left her to try to manage the delicate situation on her own while he had been failing to run his own company for all those weeks.
He left his office shortly after Eve did and headed for the garage. He knew that multiple employees would have seen that the two of them were talking, and he guessed that Eve looked sufficiently chastised so that they would assume he had been chewing her out for the past twenty minutes. Him leaving with her in his car hopefully wouldn't make anyone too curious, since everyone knew who she was and that Garret and Jacques had a friendly relationship, but if he could avoid having that particular detail added to the rumor mill it would be better for him. It was still a few minutes before five, so if he left now there probably wouldn't be any direct witnesses.
Heading to the garage, he checked the time. He was pleased that the afternoon had gone pretty much as he had planned it, and he'd received very limited pushback from Eve. While she certainly wasn't used to bowing to someone else's authority like this, she seemed to be naturally submissive and once he had taken her down a notch she had quickly started to obey.
He had just gotten in the car and started warming it up when she walked out, looking around uncertainly to figure out which car was his. He pulled out and went towards her, stopping next to her and rolling down his passenger window.
"Get in, princess, and hand me your phone," he commanded, using the pet name he had heard her father use once or twice before, just to aggravate her. She frowned at him using the term but complied quickly while he pocketed the phone. He guessed that she didn't want to be seen with him any more than he did.
"Duck down and put this coat over you," he said, handing her his jacket, and she gratefully complied. She wasn't exactly hidden but anyone looking at the car casually from the outside wouldn't immediately know he had a passenger.
After they were out of the garage and safely out of range of any likely employees seeing them together, he pulled the jacket off and she slowly sat up.
"Where are you taking me," she asked quietly, and then quickly added "Sir," as she remembered his earlier threat.
"We're going shopping," he said, sounding amused. She looked surprised, and worried, but stayed silent.
"While we're there, only refer to me as Sir, and your name is 'Princess.' Got it?"
"Yes sir," she said softly. She looked even more worried now, completely unsure of what to expect.
Garret had made an appointment at a full-service vintage-style clothing shop in town that took evening customers, for a price. He hadn't been sure that they would get this far today, but he had booked the time just in case they did. He knew that Eve was likely expecting something sinister, but for the most part they really had come here just to buy her a couple outfits.
They pulled into the small parking lot for the shop, which was mostly empty now after regular store hours, and Garret turned to her in the car. They were a few minutes early for the appointment so he decided to take care of some other details.
"Remember that you obey everything I say, when I say it. Now, give me your purse," he said, holding out his hand. She quickly handed it over, although she obviously hated it almost as much as she had hated giving over her phone earlier.
He opened it and went through it quickly, finding her billfold and taking her credit cards and putting them in his own pocket. He looked around in the purse for a minute after that, pulling out her purple lipstick and a couple other makeup items he didn't approve of and throwing them in a bag to trash later.
"I'll be paying for this tonight," he said, "and I'll also be holding on to your credit and debit cards while you're my property this year. Don't worry though, I'm not a thief," he finished with a wink, making her scowl back at him.
After another minute, at the bottom of her purse he found what looked like another lipstick, but once turned it started to vibrate, causing Eve to turn bright red with embarrassment.
"Well," he said with a chuckle, "you definitely won't be needing this either," and threw that in the bag as well before handing the purse back to her.

Eve hated the way he casually went through her things. He was going to hold on to her credit cards too?
"Sir, what if I need to buy something?" she asked in her best attempt at a respectful tone, hoping to get the cards back. "My father will know something is going on if I don't have my cards."
"Well then you'll just have to nicely ask permission to use them, now won't you?" he replied with a smile. "Come on, it's time for us to head in to the store."
