Read Under His Control (For His Pleasure, Book 18) Online
Authors: Kelly Favor
“I am so done with this,” Kennedy whispered. She spun and grabbed at her clothes, bolting from the open space of the bathroom and into one of the enclosed stalls.
Inside, with the stall door locked, she breathed easier.
Thank God,
she thought.
Thank God.
But then another voice said,
You should trust him, Kennedy. Remember?
No. I can’t do something that might hurt another person. If anyone were to walk
in and see me—
You should leave that to Easton. He’ll handle it.
But Kennedy knew she was done. She couldn’t handle this sort of thing, she wasn’t cut out for it.
She put on her clothes, wondering what would happen next.
What happens next is that you leave and go back to the apartment and prepare to
be fired. You’ve ruined everything.
She was a mess, putting on her heels and starting to exit the stall when Easton opened the bathroom door and came inside. When he saw her fully dressed, he didn’t register any reaction at all.
“So,” he said, “you’ve made your choice then. You’re not ready to have me for a master.”
She wiped a tear from her own cheek. “I’m not insane, if that’s what you want me to be. Do you realize that anybody—anyone at all—could have walked in on me and seen me naked? What if a child came into this bathroom? I could go to jail.”
Easton smirked a little. “That’s not for you to worry about.”
“I’m glad you think this is funny. Easy for you to laugh and sneer when I’m the one taking all the risk.”
“Come here,” he said softly, “I want to show you something.”
“Fine,” she said, her tone grudging. Already, she was beginning to doubt her fears and concerns.
Easton walked her to the bathroom door and opened it. Then he showed her the sign that had been placed on the door:
OUT OF ORDER: PLEASE USE UPSTAIRS RESTROOM
Kennedy realized that Easton had affixed the sign once she’d gone into the bathroom.
“Someone still could have walked in,” she replied.
“I locked the door,” he said, holding up a key.
“But how—“
“What’s the name of this restaurant?” he asked her, turning around and letting the door swing shut.
They were still alone in the bathroom, and he was facing her now, his intensity growing.
“The name—“ she began, uncertain.
“I asked a simple question.”
“H&R Restaurant.”
He continued to gaze into her eyes, as if hypnotizing her. “The H stands for Howard, as in Bryan Howard. What do you think the R stands for?”
Kennedy looked down at the floor, sheepish. “You own this restaurant.”
“I’m a co-owner, and that R stands for Rather. I’d thought you might figure it out, but apparently you aren’t quite as clever as you believe yourself to be.”
She looked up at him again. “How was I to know?”
His gaze hardened. “It’s not for you to know. It’s not your place.”
“I’m trying—“
“You failed.
Again
.”
“I’ll do better.”
“Do you have any idea what would’ve happened had you done as I commanded?”
Easton said, stepping even closer. His chest was almost pressing against hers.
“No. I don’t have a clue.”
“Then let me elucidate it for you.” Suddenly, he grabbed her wrists and pushed her so that her back pushed into the wall beside the paper towel dispenser. The wall was cold against her shoulder blades. “Turn around,” he growled, releasing her from his grip.
She spun so that her cheek was pressed into the wall now, her breasts pushing against the cold surface.
Easton leaned into her, forced his pelvis tightly to her buttocks so that she could feel his stiffness through their clothing.
He pulled up her skirt with his hands, revealing her panties.
“If you’d listened, right now I’d be putting my hand between your legs, Kennedy.
I’d be licking your neck, telling you about how I’m going to fuck you. My voice in your ear, my hand against your swollen clit, rubbing and pressing. Wouldn’t you have liked that?”
A strangled moan escaped her lips. A jolt of ecstasy that was almost painful spread from her pussy outward, causing her legs to spasm. “Please,” she moaned.
“Say ‘Please Master,’” he corrected her.
“Please Master…please Master…I’ll do anything.”
“Quiet,” he said. “I just want you to hear my voice right now, Kennedy. Hear me saying that if you’d just obeyed me, right now you’d be experiencing the most intense, pleasurable orgasm you’ve ever had up until this point in your life. Even now,” he continued, “you’re close to coming. Aren’t you?”
“Yes Master,” she admitted.
“If I so much as touched you with my pinky finger, you’d go off like a rocket, wouldn’t you?”
“Yes, Master, I would. Please touch me.”
“No.” He moved away from her. “You failed me. You refuse to give up control, and so I cannot help you. Instead of being rewarded as I’d hoped to reward you, you’ve forced me to punish you. I cannot tolerate you in my presence. Don’t come back to work this afternoon,” he said.
She turned around to face him now. “But we’re supposed to be professional,” she reminded him. “I can’t just not come back for the rest of the day.”
“You can and you will,” Easton said. His cheeks were flushed with high color.
“What I say goes, no matter where we are. You will listen to me or you’ll suffer the consequences. Is that understood?”
“Yes, Master.”
“At least you’ve learned something, then,” he muttered. “Go and await further instructions.”
He left the bathroom ahead of her, and Kennedy took the time to straighten her messy clothing and sweaty hair that was plastered to her forehead.
Despite how badly things had gone, she didn’t feel too horrible overall. In fact, she was somewhat elated.
As she walked out of the restaurant—Easton was nowhere in sight as she left—
Kennedy was practically floating on air.
He’d said the only words she would ever need to hear him say.
Await further instructions.
