All Work and No Play
(a short story in
the ‘Mischief under the Mistletoe’ anthology)
Blurb: It's hard to focus at work when your
boss also happens to be your Dom, and Mia is finding it increasingly difficult
to balance her work life with her kink life. Christmas, however, is an
excellent distraction, and Mia is determined that their first ever office
Christmas party will be one to remember. And it will... just for all the wrong
reasons!
Excerpt
One
“Not so fast,
little girl!”
I freeze, five
stairs up, and then look back over my shoulder to see Will standing in the
hallway glaring up at me.
“What’s wrong?”
I ask, trying my best to look innocent.
“Back down here.
Now.” He takes off his thick winter coat and hangs it up behind the door, never
breaking eye contact.
My belly
clenches up in that gorgeous way that is both scary and hot as hell, and I
tighten my grip on the bannister rail. “Why?”
“Mia Elizabeth
Clarke, you are already in enough trouble as it is.” He raises his voice ever
so slightly. “Here. Now.”
“But… but I
already had corner time.”
Will grabs hold
of the bannister rail and starts up the stairs after me.
I squeak and
take the rest of the stairs at a run before sprinting along the landing,
throwing open our bedroom door and flinging myself inside. This is a ridiculous
plan, however, and I realise this moments later when Will strolls in, calm as
you like, shuts the door firmly behind him and then stands there, arms crossed,
expression hard and mouth set in a disapproving line.
I retreat until
the backs of my thighs hit the bed, and then I sit down on the edge of it with
a defeated whimper. “I’m sorry…”
He raises an
eyebrow and takes a deliberate step towards me. “Sorry for what, young lady?
For being a brat at work, for running off just now or for both?”
I hug my arms,
press my cheek into my shoulder and mumble something incoherent.
“What was that?”
His voice has that sharp edge to it that tells me I am in big trouble, but for
some reason lovely submissive Mia seems to have disappeared since our little
post-meeting chat and my brat persona has well and truly taken over.
“I said I don’t
know,” I grumble, staring down at the carpet and still hugging my arms with my
face averted.
“Stand up.”
I shake my head,
squidging my cheek deeper into my shoulder, and stay put.
“Right.” In my
peripheral vision, I see Will take two quick steps forwards and then he grabs
hold of my hair and yanks me to my feet.
Before I have
the chance to do anything more than shriek and wriggle, he sits down hard on
the edge of the bed and drags me over his lap.
“You want to act
like a brat, Mia?” he demands, his voice harsh, as he pulls up my sensible work
skirt and hooks his fingers around the waistband of my knickers. “Well then,
I’m going to treat you like a brat.”
