  “It’s okay. I forgive you. You’ve already been punished enough, no need to do it to yourself. I know the spanking was harsher than usual, but I wanted you to know it wasn’t just the broken rule. I let my emotions get the better of me. It won’t happen again.”

  Without permission, let alone warning, I reached out and took his hand. The spark was instant. I knew he felt it as much as I did.

  Max pulled me to my feet and stroked my cheek, making me hum with pleasure and contentment. I felt so safe with him. Like the world could fall around us, and he would protect me. He would never harm me, and I shuddered to think about what he might do to anyone who tried.

  Scooping me into his arms, he carried me down to the living room to try and take the day off. He had told me at one point he thought vacations were for people who didn’t like their jobs. It seemed to be an actual effort for him to relax. I was more than happy to help him with that.

  He took to it better than I thought. The two of us snuggled on the soft leather couch as he took care of me. Massaging my feet and stroking my legs, making me feel like a princess. I hoped lockdown would never end.

  Chapter 14 - Max

  It was definitely becoming a habit. Not that I minded much. I didn’t even hear her leave, but Charli had somehow slipped out of the room and gotten back in without rousing me. To say I was a light sleeper was an understatement. Sleeping with one eye open would be closer to the truth.

  Yet, there she was. My lovely little pet. Impeccably dressed, posture perfect, holding a tray of delicious smelling food. Striding from the door, high heels clicking lightly against the hardwoods, she got on her knees beside the bed. Humbling herself before me.

  “Smells good,” I said, moving to take the tray.

  “Thank you, Master.”

  “I didn’t just mean the food.”

  She flushed bright crimson in the way I found adorable. I stroked her cheek, making her smile.

  “Who’s my perfect little pet?”

  She beamed.

  “I am, Master.”

  I patted the space beside me, and she leaped onto the bed, snuggling up close. One arm around her, I used my other hand to eat the lovely food she had made for me, hand feeding her as I went.

  When the meal was gone, I set the tray on the night table. Both hands now free, I set about undressing her.

  Suppressing my more animal urges, I planted kisses down the length of her tender body from her neck to her pussy. Softly opening her legs, I smothered her wet folds with soft kisses making her moan in response.

  Keeping things soft and gentle, I licked her to a shaking orgasm, holding both her hands all the way along.

  When she came back down to earth, I retraced my steps. Working from her sweetness back up to her mouth.

  I positioned us so her legs were draped over my elbows and both her wrists were held tight in my hands. She couldn’t struggle even if she wanted to. But to be fair, she seemed content just to lay there and let me do whatever I wanted to her.

  Moving like the tide on the ocean, I worked her heavenly pussy. Charli seemed to near the gates of ecstasy. It was a little-known fact that Doms, true Doms, weren’t really about causing pain.

  Strange as it might seem, the lifestyle was about giving pleasure. A power exchange relationship might seem abusive to those on the outside, but it honestly required the utmost in communication and trust. As a general rule, Doms derived as much enjoyment from pleasuring their submissive ones as receiving it.

  Her tender little pussy tightened around my cock as she got ready to let go. I leaned down and kissed her as she peaked, holding her as she trembled against me.

  The sweet release of orgasm quivered through her warm, supple form. Her inner muscles clenched down and dragged me over the edge, my cum shooting into her depths.

  “Back to work,” I murmured, planting a kiss on the forehead.

  Without hesitation, Charli dropped to her knees in the office, back perfectly straight, and awaited instruction. Gently stroking her shoulder as I passed, I took my position at the desk and began the day’s labors. I didn’t leave her there for long, just as long as it took to check my email and see if there was anything else on the agenda for the day.

  Finding nothing new, I set up the chair across from me, and we worked in tandem. Movements turned to an interesting synchronicity, our hearts even seeming to beat in time as if we were the same entity occupying different points in reality.

  I gave my head a shake, attempting to focus on the task at hand. It was the strangest thing. She was far from the first beautiful woman I’d ever had around me while working. But she had more of an effect on me than anyone had before.

  It wasn’t easy, but I made it through the day. Finishing up just before supper time. Soon enough, it was time for me to review Charli’s work and determine whether she was to be punished or rewarded.

  Her hand was steady as she handed me the stacks. No longer the timid girl she had been. It was amazing to see the change in her. My beautiful pet was becoming a competent, confident woman.

  She waited patiently with her legs crossed, and her posture perfect while awaiting my verdict. Ready and willing to accept anything I might decide.

  “Stand up,” I said, and was met with immediate obedience.

  Laying a hand on her shoulder, I gently leaned her forward until she was bent over the desk. I could feel her tense. Preparing for pain.

  I stroked her back as I pushed up her skirt and lowered her panties down to her knees. Gently caressing her ass, I lifted my hand, as though to strike.

  I didn’t.

  Instead, I moved it slightly down and cupped her pussy.

  Charli’s gasp was as soft as it was satisfying. I was playing with her, but it also made things more fun. Her work was impeccable, more than worthy of a reward.

  “Pussy or ass, Pet?” I asked, gently fingering her.

  “Pussy, please, Master.”

  Her voice was steady and clear. Our training had obliterated any inhibitions she might have had. She followed my lead, as was correct for her role but still knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to say so.

  Unzipping my pants, I stroked my cock the length of her pussy, trying to warm her up and get her ready before easing into her.

  Our bodies came together in a warm, sweet union, and I softly pumped her pussy until we reached the heights of ecstasy in unison.

  Chapter 15 - Charli

  Every cell in my body hummed. Over the past month, we’d stopped occasionally to eat and for other essentials, but when work didn’t take up our time, we had fucked all night.

  Max was insatiable, taking me again and again in positions I didn’t even know existed. He seemed to steer clear of my asshole. But nearly every other way two bodies could meet in erotic ecstasy we tried.

  Max led, as was only correct. Though he did often ask me what I wanted and if what we were doing felt good. Everything felt out of this world amazing. All of it. It was a bit of a disappointment when we fell asleep.

  I stirred in his arms. The most beautiful ache between my legs as it recovered from the wonders of Max’s cock. Careful not to wake him, I moved gently away. No sooner did my bare feet touch the cold floor than my phone went off.

  It was in my bag, which helped muffle the sound, but something had to be done before disaster struck. Max had been so wonderful. The least I could do was let him sleep as long as he wanted.

  The call was from an unknown number, but before I could answer, it stopped ringing. A few seconds later, my phone alerted me to a voicemail. I listened. An automated voice said to check my email for lifechanging news.

  Curious, I went to my mail and opened the new message. There was a video link. I knew it was strange. It was so odd that it couldn’t be anything good, but I still opened and clicked play on the video that popped up.

  It was difficult to know which came first. Both came on so quickly. It seemed like it was the tears first, then the vomit.

  The spac
e from the bed to the bathroom seemed like both the shortest and the longest distance in the world. Making it to the toilet in time to avoid an unfortunate mishap, I just let it come.

  After I’d emptied the contents of my stomach, I checked my phone again. Just to make sure it was all real. That I wasn’t dreaming again.

  I wasn’t. The phone’s tiny screen showed a full-color instant replay of Max taking me up against the tree the day after tightrope training.

  Max hurried into the bathroom, his face puffy from sleep.

  “What’s wrong, Pet?”

  I couldn’t speak even though I wanted to. To tell him what I had seen. Everything I was feeling, but when I tried, it only came out as a horrible sob, and I was off again. Max held my hair back and stroked my back as I hurled. All the stress and fear were too much for me to handle.

  Max pulled me back against him, stroking my belly and kissing my cheek until I calmed down. He always knew just how to help me feel better. Finally, I pulled myself together enough to form words.

  “I got an email,” I said, proffering my phone, “a video. It’s us outside against the tree.”

  Max watched the video, his face unreadable. He could be a champion poker player if he ever decided publishing wasn’t his thing.

  His brow furrowed.

  “I don’t know how this happened. The camera must have been well hidden.”

  “Do you know who would do such a thing?” I asked.

  “Yeah, a few people. You don’t get to my position without making a few enemies. Like with most things, I have the best. Rich, powerful, connected, and very, very vengeful. Some of them are still carrying grudges that go back years. I’m not surprised they would come after me, but you?”

  I could almost feel the rage radiating off of him. His protectiveness kicked into high gear. I believed everything he said, not thinking for a minute he might have set up the cameras.

  His phone beeped. He went to the bedroom and came back a few seconds later, the phone clasped in his hand.

  “What is it?” I asked.

  “A blackmail threat.”

  “What does it say?”

  “You know, the usual bullshit. Transfer a million dollars. If not, we’ll post the video publicly. If they were going to, they would have by now or at least given me an account to transfer the money to. Bloody amateurs.”

  Tossing his expensive phone away as though it were a soiled tissue, he went right back to comforting me.

  Scooping me up in his powerful arms, Max carried me back to bed. My face pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

  I should have been more concerned about a sex tape of us leaking to the internet. Particularly with my parents being the way they were. Max didn’t seem concerned, so I shouldn’t be either.

  “I love you so much,” I blurted out.

  I wished with everything in me, I could take it back, but the words were out, along with my secret. For once since I had met him, I was able to read his face and what I found there told me I’d been right to confess my feelings.

  “I love you too, Pet,” he confessed. “I think I have from the second you spilled the coffee all over the carpet.”

  I giggled.

  “I’m yours. Body and soul,”

  “I was hoping you would say that.”

  “I want to have your babies!”

  “That can be arranged,” he grinned, gliding his hand over my pussy.

  In seconds, I was flat on my back, my legs wide, welcoming him once again. His cock felt perfect inside me. Leaning down to kiss me, he started to move. Softly working me, my pussy tightened around his cock, not wanting to let him go. Not that he seemed to have much intention of leaving.

  Just in case, I wrapped my legs around him, my hips moving in sync with each of his thrusts. I felt the warm rush as he filled my pussy up with his warm, thick cum.

  Chapter 16 - Max

  I didn’t want to leave her. The distance almost hurt after such a close intimacy. Were it up to me, I would have held her in my arms forever. Except the agents of chaos had, once again, made themselves known and forced my hand.

  I looked at Charli asleep beside me. My sweet girl gave a new meaning to my life. Existence seemed to become less fleeting and pointless. Almost anything was stronger when it was shared.

  I felt better than I could have imagined after letting my genuine feelings out. It helped that she felt the same way. Our spirits and bodies came together in a beautiful union rare, even among humans or galaxies.

  I’d thought she had been at least half-kidding about wanting to have my babies, so I was surprised when she put her legs around me like that. It felt amazing to release while still deep inside her.

  I dared to wonder what the future might be like. To love and fuck Charli every day. It was a great image. A future worth fighting for.

  After dressing, I went to my office. What I was about to do was something I swore I would never do again, but I didn’t have a choice.

  It was a part of my previous life. A part I thought I’d left far behind. Yet, when needed, I was ready to step back in.

  Unlocking the drawer, I took out the flash drive. It didn’t look like much. A standard 8GB model with the letters W.E.E.O. on it in sharpie. The acronym stood for World Ending Emergencies Only. Depending on your definition of ‘world,’ the situation with the blackmailer counted.

  I had been at the top of the game. One of the best. Even the Pentagon was nervous when I was at my height even though I wasn’t interested in them. I wore a white hat, occasionally dipping over into gray when needed. I wasn’t into black hat tactics, but what I was about to do was as shady as it could get.

  I clicked onto the video link and back-traced the cameras’ signal. After a while, I got the IP address for the computer it was being stored on. The video they’d emailed Charli wasn’t the only one they had. I went through each file one by one, cloning the hard drive to my work machine. I deleted the original copies, scrubbing the hard drive after, so they couldn’t be recovered.

  I could have left it there. I probably should have, but they’d mistakenly messed with my girl. They had to suffer.

  It took longer than expected to launch, but I shouldn’t have been too surprised considering what it did. I’d written the virus years ago. A doomsday protocol, which was the computer equivalent of a cyanide pill. I needed to get rid of everything in a hurry.

  The download bar hit complete, and I was at the point of no return—a point where my past met my present.

  Taking a deep breath, I hit enter, burning the blackmailer’s system and any hope of ever fully escaping my past as a world-class hacker. I wasn’t worried about getting arrested.

  What were they going to do? Report me to the cops? They couldn’t, not without explaining why I laid waste to their motherboard. Besides, they would never be able to prove it was me. I was a master at hiding my tracks.

  The sun was becoming visible through the windows when the deed was done. Charli’s privacy protected, and her honor defended, I decided it was time to go back to bed.

  I wouldn’t have much chance to sleep before starting another demanding workday, but I had the best assistant I’d ever encountered to help me with it all. My phone beeped a few seconds after I got back under the blankets.

  “What’s that, Master?” Charli asked, stirring.

  “The lockdown is over.”

  “Really?”

  She pushed up onto her elbows, the blanket falling away from her gorgeous tits.

  “Yep,” I said, taking her left nipple between my lips.

  “Do we have to leave paradise?”

  It was an odd way of putting it. Most people would have been happy to go back to what they thought of as normal life.

  “Do you want to?”

  “No, Master. I want to stay here with you. Forever and ever.”

  There was something about the way she said “forever” that I found endearing. I wanted her curvy body and sweet soul with me a
lways. Kissing her on the forehead, I pulled her in and snuggled her close.

  “You don’t have to go anywhere,” I vowed. “You are mine, Pet. For the rest of my life.”

  “Thank you, Master.”

  Adjusting our position, I put Charli on her back. She opened her legs in welcome, wanting me as much as I wanted her.

  Switching things up, I took her by the ankles, pushing her legs up and back. Not only did this give me full access to her beautiful pussy already glistening with arousal, but I’d also heard somewhere it helped with conceiving.

  “Please, Master,” Charli begged, as I traced the head of my cock around her tender pussy lips.

  “Say it,” I prompted.

  “Fuck my pussy, Master. Make a baby with me.”

  Kissing her delicately, I eased my cock inside her channel and made gentle love to her. Savoring her every squeak, moan and murmur as she moved under me.

  Held prone and vulnerable in my firm grasp, she still tried to move her hips in time with mine, but I stayed in control. I picked up speed, pumping at a steady, moderate rhythm.

  She groaned her delight as her pussy tightened around my cock. We were both getting ready to fall.

  Charli let out a long, beautiful moan that sounded like a song as I came deep inside her.

  Epilogue - Charli

  Max and I remained at our house by the beach even after the state-wide lockdown was lifted. We loved being together by the ocean, and it made it easy to decide on a venue for the wedding.

  The event limits weren’t difficult to stick with. The total number of people present numbered five, including the Justice of the Peace. Elsa and my mom were the only family present. My dad went into conniptions when he discovered I was marrying someone seventeen years older than me.

  It felt a little odd walking down the aisle with only Alexa for musical accompaniment, but I wasn’t focusing on that. All my attention focused on my master, who waited for me under the flower arch six feet away from the Justice. We’d used a measuring tape just to be sure.
