Hot Date With The Boss (BBW Contemporary Billionaire Romance) by Ava May Page A

going anywhere, do you understand?”
    “Yes.”
    “Good. Now let’s get back to the business of breakfast. Everything else will work out, Melissa. I promise.”
     
    Melissa couldn’t quite believe her life. Even though they’d only been dating for a month now, Glenn had changed her life. She’d done some scenes with him, both at his home and at the club, gently dipping her toes into the BDSM waters. He’d recommended they do this slowly, that the evaluate what her needs were as well as his. BDSM wasn’t one kink fits all. That had become his mantra and something she, too, lived by. If it wasn’t fun, they didn’t do it again, but if it was fun, they’d explore a kink at all different angles.
    She found she loved to be blindfolded, but hated any other sort of sensory deprivation. He’d found that her hands bound by cloth were much more of a turn on than when she was cuffed. He liked her trimmed close and not shaved, and she liked him manscaped. She loved giving him blowjobs when in a scene and he didn’t like rimming.
    It was an exploration that when above and beyond who they were to each other, or even their bond in or out of the office. Some days, it was just them, the kink fading deep into the background, and some days, she came into his house itchy and ready to be taken hard, in any way her Dom saw fit.
    Melissa pressed the inside of her wrist, where a bruise was just healing up. The little throb when she pressed inward reminded her of how much her Dom cherished her, and that was something to be celebrated.
    “What’s new, Chicken?” Cathy asked one afternoon when Glenn was off and it was just the two of them. They’d lost an office manager to an interstate move and the billing person, a nerdy college guy named Frank, wouldn’t be in until the weekend.
    “Not much,” Melissa replied. “What about with you?”
    “I’m seeing this guy. Ray, he plays rugby on the weekends. He’s English. You know how that is.”
    Did she? How could she? Melissa had never dated anyone English.
    “How is it?” she asked.
    “Oh, he’s a little aggressive, a little too caveman for me. Every guy seems to think he needs to prove something because of the book and movie thing. You know the one I mean?”
    Melissa nodded. So, this wasn’t a British thing, was it? Then how could Melissa know? She yanked her sleeve down, covering her wrist, and Cathy’s eyes knowingly tracked her movements. Shit. This wasn’t good at all.
    “Who is he?” Cathy asked, looking concerned, motherly almost.
    “Who?”
    “The man who hurts you.”
    “I’m not hurt. We just like it a little rough sometimes.” What else could she say? “It is totally consensual.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Positive.” Melissa bit her lip. “It’s a guy I’ve been seeing. My friends and I ran into him at a club. He works downtown.”
    “And yet he never picks you up or visits you here.”
    “He’s busy,” Melissa replied, knowing how lame that sounded. “I promise, he’s okay. And hey, if it all works out, I’ll bring him to the Christmas party.”
    “I’d like that,” Cathy replied.
    “So what is it about Ray,” Melissa pressed. “Do you not like what he does, or is he going too far, or what exactly.”
    “He’s just a little too rough. He thinks I like it harder than I do.” She gave Melissa a thin smile, and Melissa realized she’d have to proceed with caution. “I’m not being hurt, I’m just uncomfortable after sex because he goes so hard and fast.”
    “You should tell him.”
    “Maybe I will.” Cathy pulled in a deep breath and Melissa sensed that the conversation was done for now. “You know, I think Doctor Glenn is seeing someone pretty seriously.”
    “You do?” Melissa asked, watching her friend’s face for any confirmation that she knew who he was seeing. “Why do you say that?”
    “He looks happy,” Cathy explained, motioning toward the back of the building, where Glenn’s office was. “And he’s humming.
