Maddie was back to herself after a few short days. She was great at pushing her feelings aside and trudging on. She went straight back into work mode and channeled all of her energy and focus on her current projects and put anything to do with kissing Bennet far out of her mind.

If Bennet noticed that she seemed distant he certainly didn’t mention anything. He had spent the weekend with his family and she had spent the weekend calling every city office she could get ahold of to get a status on her apartment situation.

“So how do you feel about this as inspiration on your next design approach?” Bennet passed his tablet over to her on their commute in to work. She flipped through the photos, studying them before making a decision.

“If I’m honest I feel like they’re a bit too abstract. I have a few files I was drawing from, I’ll send you when we get to the office.” Maddie had developed a bit of a new found confidence in Bennet’s rejection of her and found she was making more definitive decisions. She figured even if she wasn’t the type of girl he wanted she was going to be the best damn employee he could find.

“Great, actually head up to my office once you get settled in, I’d like to get the ball rolling on this.” He replied as they walked in the front door of their office building.

The next several days seemed to roll into one another. She spent most of the morning in Bennet’s office going over drawing boards and campaign designs for the next big Larson gig. Their commutes were pretty quiet and work related and the evenings were spent with her hiding out in her room.

Bennet had started to pick up on her stoic moods and tried to lighten the tension with jokes, so far it wasn’t working. She seemed to be more jumpy lately and hid herself away. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed, he had really enjoyed watching her become more relaxed and comfortable around him. He couldn’t take much more of it, how she almost flinched if he touched her or how withdrawn she had become.

Maddie exited the elevator and made her way to the kitchen. Boxing class had kicked her ass tonight and she was in desperate need for a shower and a cold glass of water. The apartment was dark so she assumed Bennet was out, she stripped off her sweatshirt and stood in just her sports bra and leggings as she downed a bottle of water.

She picked up her coat and bag and made her way toward her room when she saw a shadow in the corner of the living room. “Shit! You scared me!” Bennet was sitting on the couch in the dark again. “Why do you always do that? Sit in the dark like an intruder or a predator.”

She could see he let out a small scoff as he leaned back against the couch. “Maybe I am a predator…waiting to pounce on my prey.” He said with a dark humor.

Maddie suddenly felt nervous, like she was about to get in trouble. He had that same look on his face; that same look the night he kissed her. Like he was a starving lion and she was a delicious gazelle caught in his sights. She let a nervous laugh, “Okay well I’m going to go.” She said as she pointed towards her room.

“Can you come here for a minute please.” He said as he motioned for her to sit on the couch. She wasn’t sure what he wanted but she walked a little closer until she was standing about a foot in front of him.

"Madeline come here." His eyes were burning into her as he motioned for her to come closer. She was unsure where to go but moved to stand fright in front of him, his outstretched legs straddling hers.

Suddenly he reached up and grabbed her hands pulling her closer until she hit the edge of the couch and her top half fell forward. She pulled her hands free of his in time to catch herself on the back of the couch. Her long curls tumbled forward over her shoulders as her breathing quickened and she let out a small squeak of surprise. Before she could register what had happened or form a though Bennet had his hands around her waist and was pulling her lower half to straddle his lap.

Maddie slowly dragged her eyes from Bennet’s chest to his eyes trying to understand what was happening. He looked troubled, like he was doing something he knew he shouldn’t but couldn’t control.

He stared at his own hands on her waist, his chest rising and falling with hers. Finally he removed his right hand from her and reached up to brush her hair behind her shoulders.

"You are so beautiful" he whispered. She didn’t say a word, she was confused and shocked but more than anything she was aroused. She was sure her nipples were showing through her sports bra, she could only hope he couldn’t feel the warmth between her legs.

“You're so disarming and young and innocent." He continued to speak, almost to no-one in particular as his eyes scanned her body and his hand caressed her neck. “It makes me want to bend your will to my every desire, to use you in ways you can’t imagine.”

She slowly removed her hands from the back of the couch and gingerly placed them on his chest. He had removed his tie from earlier in the day and his crisp white shirt was unbuttoned two buttons.

She could feel his hand on her neck pulling her closer to him. He stopped just before she reached his mouth and placed his forehead against hers, his breathing was heavy as if he was wrestling with what to do next. He couldn’t resist anymore, he leaned forward and took her mouth with his.

Just like before he caressed her lips with his own as his tongue slowly began to explore her mouth. He turned his head to deepen the kiss, his tongue massaging hers over and over again as his grip tightened on her waist. Her head was spinning, she could feel herself start to grind against him almost as if it were involuntary. Bennet’s control was wearing thin and when he felt her start to writhe against him he knew he wasn’t going to last much longer.

Bennet tore his mouth from hers, "Fuck! God I have to have you." He pulled her down harder on his lap, pushing his firm cock against her.

"Have me?" Maddie stammered between breaths.

Bennet pulled back from kissing her again and looked her in the eyes, "Yes have you Madeline. I want to touch and kiss and lick every inch of you." He said between kisses he trailed down her neck dipping lower and lower.

"But I’m sweaty!" She said as she pushed against his chest. It was the only response that popped in her head.

He could sense her trepidation as he grabbed her hands again, “I didn’t tell you to get up. Don’t fucking move unless I tell you, understood?” His hands were wrapped firmly around her wrists, he tugged them sharply so that her lips were almost touching his.”

"I need to take a shower," she said softly as her eyes watched his lips intently.

“I asked you a question young lady.” Bennet slipped his free hand under her chin and forced her to look at him.

“Yes, I understand.” She said, not completely aware what was happening.

Bennet lifted the tip of her finger to his mouth, darting his tongue out to lick it then wrapping his fingers around it and sucking. Maddie audibly gasped as she felt the sensation run through her body and settle in her lower belly. He pulled her towards himself again and devoured her mouth.

"I want to taste you." She let out a moan at the thought of Bennet's head buried between her thighs, her hands gripping those chocolate brown locks. "Is that something that you want Madeline? Do you want me to slowly lick your wet slit? Tasting your juices as they saturate my tongue?"

Maddie’s eyes grew to the size of saucers, she was incredibly attracted to Bennet, you’d have to be insane not to be but she was so inexperienced. She had never had a man speak to her this way and she’d certainly never been straddling him while he thrust his rock hard manhood against her.

Bennet stopped his assault on her mouth. "Maddie how innocent are you?" "You called me Maddie," she smiled but her smile quickly faded when the seriousness in Bennet’s face registered with her.

"Uh what do you mean?" She wasn’t sure exactly what he was asking.

"Have you been with men before?" He asked cautiously.

"Yes! I’ve been with guys, with a guy. I’m not a virgin." She tried to sound casual about it but she could feel the blush creeping up her neck and face.

He smiled coyly, "A man? And who was this man who got to have the pleasure of claiming Madeline Strickland’s innocence?"

"Just a guy I dated in college. Didn’t work out." She played with one of the buttons on his shirt. She was feeling embarrassed and wanted to retreat to her room. She made a move to climb off of his lap "I should take a shower, I had a hard boxing class tonight."

He grabbed her hips and planted her firmly back on his lap, "I don’t think so young lady. You said you understand my command, there are punishments for disobedience"

"Bennet can we please talk about this. I’m not sure what’s going on. You kissed me weeks ago and then apologized and said you regretted it and you didn’t even know why you did it and now you want me again…I’m so confused." She hung her head as she felt tears pooling in her eyes. Bennet placed his hand under her chin and lifted her face to meet his gaze.

"Hey, hey why are you crying? I’m so sorry Maddie I’ve completely messed this up." He placed a hand on either side of her face and kissed her tear soaked lips. He let out a long sigh, "The truth is I can’t keep my hands off of you anymore. I can’t keep you out my head, I’ve tried to keep my distance but I can’t keep fighting it. You’re so wrong for me…You’re too young and innocent and sweet. Not to mention I’m your boss and someone you should be able to trust and feel comfortable around." Maddie’s eyes stayed fixed on his as he confessed his desires.

"I see every move you make around the house, the way your hips sway when you walk down the hall…the way your hair falls over your shoulder and down your back. I smell you in my office even when you’re not there. I fantasize about you."

His eyes dipped to her mouth as he drug his thumb across her lower lip. "I want to drag my cock across these lips, I want to see your tongue lick cum from the tip and then take me down your throat." She swallowed audibly as he continued to divulge his intimate fantasies.

"I want to kiss and lick my way down your neck until I reach these magnificent, full breasts." His hands cupped her breasts as he squeezed, "I need to take them in my mouth, to pinch and bite your nipples. I want to hear you gasp in pleasure." His thumbs were rubbing circles on her nipples causing them to become fully erect through her sports bra.

Bennet was becoming more and more aroused, he couldn’t control himself much longer. His cock was hard and throbbing against the heat of Maddie’s womanhood. He let out a low guttural moan as he moved one of his hands from her nipple down to her mound pressing his thumb against her covered clit. She responded with a moan of her own and gripped his shirt in her fists. He slipped his other hand behind her neck and tilted her head up to make eye contact with him.

"I want to hear you cum for me. I want to hear you moan in pleasure as I play with you. Look at me Maddie."

She opened her heavily lidded eyes to look at him as her pleasure built. She was grinding her hips against his hand and her breathing was becoming rapid. It was becoming harder for her to focus, she was on the edge. Her lips were parted and a small moan slipped past.

“That's it baby, just enjoy it. I need you to be ready for me; ready to take my cock in that tight little pussy of yours. I’m going to fuck you Maddie, ok?" She couldn’t resist anymore as the orgasm rippled through her body. She let out a long moan as she gripped his wrist and came.

She was limp against his body, his hand was stroking her back and the other was still behind her back.

"You ok?" He asked softly as he lifted her face to once again look at him. She nodded her head as she released her grip from his arm. He smiled with a bit of a smirk causing his green eyes to sparkle. He leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on her lips, "The way you look right now makes me want to ravish you." He continued to kiss her, it began to intensify in seconds.

His tongue delved into her mouth again as she reached for his belt. His hand darted out to stop her, "No sweetheart, we’re going to take it slow ok?" She bit her lip in nervousness and pulled her hand back.

"I thought you were going to…" her eyes dropped to his belt again. “Do what?" He smirked. He wanted to hear her say the words.

"Say the words." She felt the blush creeping again and tried to avoid his eye line. He pulled her chin upwards, "Say the words Madeline." He said firmly.

She jerked her head away, “You're not my boss outside of work." Bennet’s eyes narrowed as he griped the back of her neck firmly, “I'm the boss in the bedroom and the office. Say the words or you won’t be able to sit down for a week." He said with authority. Maddie felt a rush of excitement run through her in response to his dominance.

"I thought you were going to…to fuck me." She said hurriedly. A shit eating grin crept across his face as he gave her a quick kiss.

"Good girl. Now go take a shower before I bend you over the arm of this couch and make you demonstrate how obedient you’ll be to me." He swatted her ass as she walked or floated rather towards her room.
