My Boss then My Master

Chapter 9 Dominic POV

It was getting f*****g worse. It was a week after Christmas day and I had been avoiding her like the plague. But my obsession with watching her was getting beyond a joke. Dean and Delila were due today and I needed to make dinner reservations. After dinner with Will , I couldn't help his words constantly running through my mind. Was my obsession with her due to the fact I wanted to fix her ?

Yes, I like to fix companies and I like to make sure those I cared about were OK. But that wasn't me trying to be the hero in every story, was it ? Either way , she plagued everything I did these days and it only served to piss me off. Like now, watching her work, it was f****d up. To watch someone this way without their consent, I knew it was weird and folks would get you done for it. Stalking. Never in my life would I think I would become a stalker.

I had watched her once again look over her shoulder all week. Me sending that meal has once again made her on edge at work. But yesterday I had to stop myself from following her home. There had been a story on the news all day of a shooting a few streets over from her home. I then spent an hour Google mapping where it happened. Where her street was and where the bus would drop her off.

I NEEDED to make sure she was nowhere near where it happened. Illogical, I know. But as time home came closer, I then had a need to follow her just to make sure. I got all the way down to my car before I talked myself out of it. For one, driving my car in that neighborhood wouldn't exactly keep me incognito.

So , instead, I gripped the steering wheel until I knew her bus had already gone. My knuckles had turned white and my jaw had ached from gritting my teeth. Like this with the TV showing her image. It was a way to keep me from going to her desk. Today though, I will have to see her. I needed to walk Dean through the building and show him to the HR offices where all the case files and other paper work he would need were stored.

When a knock sounds at the door a little later. I quickly shut the TV off. Kia poked her head around the door when I shouted to come in. " Sir, Mr Dean Kilns is here with his wife." I nodded my head and told her to let them in. Later I would tell her Dean needed a key card and had full access to the whole building. But firstly, it was about greeting my old friend and his kitten, as he playfully liked to call her.

Seconds later, the big brute came walking in. Dean was tall , I mean I was tall at 6ft, but he was 6ft 6. Then Delia came walking in behind him, standing at a tiny 5ft 1. Those two together were comical at times. Anyone would have thought she would look at the big man and run a mile. He was covered from the neck down in tattoos and he had brawn and muscle that matched. Delila had shoulder-length black hair and tattoos too, but hers could all be covered with clothing. She also had some pretty intimate piercings that matched Deans. I have seen them all when they did public scenes, which they did a lot.

To look at him, you would not think he was a lawyer or corporate investigator. More biker if anything. Standing, I smiled at the pair. " Dean my good friend, it's nice to see you " I said as I walked around my desk and we greeted, not a handshake. But a friendly manly hug back slap type hug. He greeted me back and then I turned to Delila who was smiling sweetly at me. " You look as beautiful as ever, Delila ", I said, and leaned in and kissed her cheek.

She lightly giggles " Thank you Sir ,. It's nice to see you as always. I cant wait to go exploring the city " she gushes happily. Dean laughs " She hasn't stopped talking about it. You know my little kitten. She has written me a list of all the things she wants to go see.If she is a good girl I will take her to them all, won't I kitten ? " . She nods eagerly at him.

I cant help but smile at their interaction. " I'm sure you will be on your best behavior. Instead of booking a hotel, I will let you use my new sweet. They just finished it last night. Including the private room. I will use the hotel if you would prefer?" . Dean shook his head. " A hotel will be fine. Kitten has already researched all our types of clubs anyway. But if she could hang in there during the day while I work, she knows I'm close. That will be much appreciated".

" Yes , that is perfect for me. There is a spare bedroom and bathroom you can use as your own for your naps and stuff". I knew from the past that Delila finds it hard to sleep at night, for what reason I don't know. So Dean schedules her naps during the day. I did recognise her as a bit of a broken soul too, but I have never pried into the why. I showed them into the apartment and showed her around. I always offer them it built this is pretty much the aarangmet we have in all our encounters. Except when they are in a building, I don't have a suite. Then I try to make sure the hotel is close to the office. Incase Delila feels the need to be close to her master.

" You are going to take a nap now, Kitten. We had a long flight and you were too excited to sleep. Dominic will show me the building, then I will come and nap with you, OK. " He bends and kisses her sweetly, she goes up onto her toes to eagerly kiss him back. She happily trots off to the guest room, Dean watching her fondly go. " What's the situation so far ? " he turns and asks me as we walk back out into my office.

" I believe there are issues with the manager I have here in the bet acceptance department as well as a member of the HR. There is missing paperwork on grievances put in against the manager. The women who put them in are then soon gone out of business. Either by their own choice or, some quite frankly, by a bullshit dismissal . Then I found missing profits. Well missing high staking client files for large bets being placed. The bet was placed by members of staff that left, but after they had left. The profits missing seem to add to those bets, then when the mystery client has a big win, they magically appear back. It is put down to a lag in the system . So I believe someone is placing bets without p*****t and it's someone here. My guess is the same, said the manager".

Dean grunts low in his throat. We head out of my office and I tell Kia to get Dean an all-access card. She knew him already anyway from previously, so she makes me grin when she produces one she has already done. Along side his own log in to all the systems this company runs off. " That's why you keep her around . Thank you Kia " he says, smiling at her as he accepts the pack. Kia smiled back. " Will Delila require lunch sending in to her later ?" she asked Dean. He nodded his head. " Yes please can you send me some in too , the plane's meal wasn't big enough for a big growing boy like me ". She laughs, ducking her head , it was always weird.

To see Kia act anything but robotic. But I had seen her act this way with Dean and Delila before. I often caught the two girls chatting. " I booked a table for dinner later too ", I told him. He looks at me and nods, then back to Kia. " Just a light lunch for Delia then please. " Then we were on our way to the elevators. I cant help but shake my head once we are out of ear shot in disbelief. " Dmm man , how do you get her acting human ? Even when I try and have a joke with her, she's so professional all the time. Which I'm glad for obviously. But I do it to see if I can crack her ".

We entered the elevator, both of us turning, so we were looking out onto the desk Kia was sitting at. She had a small smile on her face as she looked down at the computer. " Ahhh its easy my friend. She loosens up if you f**k her while your submissive sits and cums on her face every time we see her ". I let out a startled cough, coughing laugh and sputtering sort of thing in shock as the doors closed. Kia looked up, her brows scrunched just in time for me to see her. Dean's belly laughs at my reaction, it echos around the elevator. f**k, I never expected straight laced Kia to be down for anything like that.

Thankfully, when the doors opened on Grace's floor. I had gained composure , my all-business game face was back in place. Just my luck, the girl that haunted me was standing there. As I looked up from listening to something Dean was saying, she was there. Looking like a deer in the headlights as she looked directly at me, she had some paperwork in her hands. She was standing like she was waiting and about to go onto the elevator. My feet stopped in their tracks. Dean paused when he realized I wasn't following him.

" Hello Miss Holmes , How are you today ? " I said coolly. My eyes though they were eating up every inch of her. Dean moved back so he was standing at my side. I didn't need to look to see he was looking between us. It would take an i***t to not pick up on the atmosphere. Grace's eyes went to him and widened. Jealousy hit me like a brick when a thought flew through my brain. It was because of his looks , like she liked the look of him.

I cleared my throat , her eyes snapped back at me. She seems to get composure because she looks down her cheeks fluching. She stares at the paper in her hands. " I . . I am good thank you. Ermm Paul sent me to bring these to you. He said that they are this quarter's figures ". She thrusts the papers out to me , still not looking up at me. I take them off of her and hand them to Dean. He would need them anyway. " Why was Paul sending you ?" I asked her.

She glances up at me then at Dean again. That red-hot jealousy burned in my stomach, making me make an annoyed growling sound. It seemed to startle her. She took a step back with wide eyes, looking at me worriedly. " I don't know Sir, he just told me to. " f**k, that word out of her mouth was like viagra. I cleared my throat and looked away from her. " OK , thank you Miss Holmes " I said. I thought she would have walked away then. So when I hear her say " Mr Johnson " softly, it surprises me. I looked back to see her looking between us again. "Yes ?" I answered.

Her tongue darts out and licks her lips to wet them in a move she probably didn't even realise she did. But my c**k sure paid attention. " Can I speak to you a moment? Erm well in private, if you don't mind". She looks at Dean again, and so do I . He was grinning like a moron looking at us. He looked at me knowingly and I wanted to punch him for his smirk . " I'll just go nosey around. I am sure I can find something to occupy me " he said with humor in his voice.

He wanders off after politely nodding at Grace. I watch him as he starts talking to a random person. Probably asking for directions. Looking back at Grace, she was fidgeting nervously. " Sure let's go to one of those interview rooms, shall we ?" I pointed to some doors to our left and she nodded and followed behind me when I walked off to one. I already know what this will be about and bravo to Grace for having the balls to bring it up when I had been on the avoidance mission all week.
