Jack Jovac was a man of habit. He woke up, showered, dressed in his usual suit and tie, and headed to work. The drive was hard, focusing on all the work he had to do that day that he really had no interest in. He wanted to be a writer, and it was his own fault really, that he wasn't. About a dozen novels sat on his desk, unread, unpublished. Some unfinished.

Thus he was stuck in the dead end bank job, and his bosses were all related to him. All of them. His brother Sam was the CEO, and Jack himself was the third highest in the company. His lavish apartment showed that, along with his sports car and the way he dressed.

His knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel with an anxious grip. For once though, work wasnt the scariest thing on his mind. His stomach fluttered with nervous anticpation for the events AFTER work. Visiting his long-time friend, Gabriel, at his place of work. Gabe was a match maker of sorts. He trained potential submissive applicants for wealthy masters. And he insisted he had the perfect match for Jack.

So all day he sat through work, stared at his emails, bleary eyed, until the clock hit 4 and he was out. He jumped up from his desk amd headed for the door, jacket in one hand, breif case in the other.

Only to have his office blocked off by Sam himself. "Whoa- where you going bucko? Hot date?"

"As a matter of fact- its none of your business." Jack responded dryly. Sam just laughed. "I need to talk to you, Jack. Its about Rand."
Rand was ths second highest int the company, Sam and Jacks cousin. He was about ten years older than Jack, and that seemed to be yhe qualifying factor when they went up against each other for the position. Jack crossed his arms and raised a curious eyebrow at his brother.

"He's going to be retiring in about a year. I want you to study under him." Sam said. "Then when the position is open, its yours."

Jack frowned. "So you want me to do double the work? My own job, and basically an intern for Rand? I'll think on it." It was, after all, about a million dollar upraise. He brushed passed Sam, who simply called out;

"Let me know in two weeks. If not, I'll have to find someone else."

Jack didn't travel the speed limit once, alternating between speeding and going under, wracked with nervousness and anticipation.

'Gabe had sounded really excited on the phone.' he thought, as his foot pressed down on the accelerator. 'But what if it ends up like- like- Dav-' he eased up. He felt like his heart was in a vise. No. He couldn't even think the name.

Soom he was turning into the parking lot of the night club. He cpuld hear the music pumping and the spund of voices. A guard let him in the backdoor, nodding when he saw his suit and distinguishing features. He just looked like a Jovac. Sharp jawline, darker than dark hair, peircing and cold blue eyes. His attire was less formal now, he had lost his vest and tie in the car, and was doen to his grey slacks and blue dress shirt. Still, he didnt look the type to be slumming around in the back alley of a night club.

"Gabe's expecting you." the bouncer said, leading him into he building, then down the hall to the last room. Gabe stood outside the door.

"Jack!" the handsome man wore a genuine smile. "How are you my friend?"

"I'm well, Gabe. How's business?" Jack responded, with a slight smile.

"I'm in the business of love, and business is good. I'm happy to see you, brother. And I hope you're happy with what I have to show you."

"I hope I'm ready for another." Jack said. Gabe flinched. He knew Jack like a brother, he saw the pain in those eyes. He nodded, and wrapped his arm around Jack's shoulders. Jack tensed a bit. He didnt like being touched, but if anyone could get away with it, it was Gabriel.

Gabe motioned and the guard swung the door open.

Naked, kneeling on the floor, was the most gorgous human being Jack had ever seen. He took a deep breath, and Gabe snickered a bit. "Did I do good, or did I do good?" the match maker grinned.

Taylor didn’t even know Gabe until of recently. She didn’t work for the guy. Speaking of working, she didn’t have an agent until now. Though, she wouldn’t call herself an escort either. Maybe yes. Perhaps, it was too complicated.

About a year ago, she didn’t know what she was doing. Well, she knew and knew it very well. She didn’t know to whether feel ashamed of doing something that seemed so much fun or to actually look down upon it and never do it again. Being an escort, she knew it was most looked down upon and it was a disgusting career choice. Lot of girls had made it their career choice and now, she struggled to see if she was one of those girls?

For a day after she went out first night, finding a client on her own, she felt so ashamed that she didn’t even look herself in the mirror. Probably, it was guilt. Guilt for actually enjoying herself that night. She still remembered that night, she was sitting at this posh five star hotel bar when one of the guy approached her. She told herself that it wouldn’t just be anyone and so it had to be the right guy. The guy offered her a five grand just to spend 3 hours with him. The catch was to play this game where she was his submissive.

She knew of the concept and there were plenty of the subject being mentioned in movies these days. So, she knew it but after that night, she had this weird urge to actually go and do this again. It was the second time, a different guy with whom she had sex and she managed to make a little more than 5 grand. Though, it was a long and tiring night, she actually enjoyed. Her third time was when she met with the first guy again and he actually wanted her to spend a full night with him, in exchange for 10 grands.

It wasn’t long after then, she received a call from Gabe. He told her where he got her number from and was interested in meeting with her. Apparently, the guy whom she met with twice, he had told Gabe about her, hence here she was. Of course, Gabe of offering to give her 150 bucks just to meet and chat at a public place, café. She didn’t trust him since he was a stranger. Gabe told her how the guy was his client and he absolutely loved his time spent with her, introducing her to Domme/sub and how well she took it. On those merits, he wanted to hire her.

He told her what he did and how his clients were all rich and they preferred to spend their money for the right girl. Money being an issue for her, she liked the deal that Gabe gave her. He told her that he wanted to train her to be a submissive and that sells a lot. He would pay her for her time and once ready, she’d have even bigger opportunities. Her training had been finished but for the past week or two, he hadn’t called her for a client and matter of fact, she’d never seen another client after she met him.

She wasn’t going to complain because he did pay her enough and that helped with her money problem. She was still studying and had loans. Coming from Europe about 10 years ago, she had settled in just fine. She was raised by a single parent who had went back to her country and now, Taylor was all alone. She had to make her ends meet and she may have just found an easy way out. It was earlier that day when she was in her classes and received a text from Gabe, asking her to come to his club by 4 pm. She did go home to change into something comfortable since she had no idea what this was about.

As instructed, she stripped off her clothes and took a kneeling position on the floor so that her heels were pushing against her buttocks and her toes were arched to the max. Her palms resting on her thighs and facing up. Her heart fluttered as she grew curious who was going to be on the other side of the room, hearing faint sounds of two men chatting. But, she waited like a good girl and when she heard the doors open, she looked down at the floor before her knees, not up. The people in the other room would notice that she had a slim frame about her, her brown hair draped over her back and her green eyes glued to the face as her chest heaved up and down rather drastically, opposite of how her taut tummy moved with each breath. One would notice her small but pert breasts as well as her bald sex. She stayed still with anticipation who it was that Gabe was presenting her to.

Jack breezed into the room, eyes only for the woman in front of him. He just looked at her for a moment, letting his presence sink in. Absorbing it, as if just being ten foot in front of her taught Jack her whole life story.

As Gabe moved to close the door behind him, Jack shot his attention back up. There was another man in the room, a bouncer probably. Jack snapped his fingers, pointing at the burly man who stood in the corner, hands behind his back. "You. Out." he pointed back behind him at the door.

The man stood there, looking at Gabe for instructions. Gabe glared at him back, scrunching his brows. "Well? Are you deaf? Do as the man says."

Shaking his head, the bouncer headed out. Once the door shut behind him, Jack approached the girl on the floor.

His hands slid to the back of her head, gripping either side with his palms, just holding her head. He moved her slightly, turning her head back and forth to look at her, taking in her cheekbones, her jawline. Gorgeous.

His hands slid out, one remaining under her chin, caressing her face up to look into Jack's eyes. Such big green eyes "What's your name?"

"Taylor." Gabriel replied. "You can inspect more than her face, you know."

"I didn't ask you." Jack muttered indignantly. Gabe chuckled.

"She's mine." He said, his attention settling back to Harper. Her ody was perfectly toned, with creamy skin and luscious curves and wonderful breasts. Not too big, not too small. And those eyes. Jack would enjoy filling them with want. With need.

"You didn't inspect her." Gabe said, throwing his hands up. "Her ass, her-"

"Like your other clients do? Prod her like she's cattle? Make sure she meets some made up standards of beauty. Of perfection. I don't need to. Those don't concern me. She's not a pure bred dog, I don't need her dimensions and pedigree." Jack stepped back. His gaze on Taylor relaxed. "Stand please, at ease. I wish to talk business." Jack pulled over a chair, and then took one for himself.

"Outside of scenes, our relationship will be casual. I will email you my contract, but the biggest rules are this;

While employed by me you will not: date or engage in sexual acts with another male or female. You will not consume drugs or alchohol without permission. You will not compromise your health. You will not openly share information about our relationship. You will follow any explicit order I give. Any breach in these rules will result in termination."

"Your schedule is tuesday through friday, 6-11. Saturday you will arrive at 9am until the following morning. Sunday and monday are your free days. Even when you are 'off the clock' I will communicate with you via text messages. I may have requests for you even when you are home or at work. You're paid salary, so even when you're not with me you're mine. On the opposite, when you need days off or wish to leave early, you will find me quite agreeable. As long as it doesnt become a weekly habit. If you accept my offer of employment, you begin tuesday. Your rate of pay is 10 grand a month. The first week will be a dry run. If we're not a fit I will pay you for your time and we will go seperate ways."

He leaned, elbows on his knees, to look at her. "This is a loosely negotiable contract. If you have any requests or rules of your own, state them now."

Just a few minutes before the doors opened, she leaned down onto her knees as requested by Gabe and while she waited in that pose, whole past twelve months sort of flashed in front of her eyes. It was hard to forget very first night that changed her life. It was the night she met that man, who wanted a little bit more than just to have sex with her. It was an odd situation, one that made her wonder if the guy was insane who harbored weirdest fantasies. Of course, by the end of the night, her interest piqued and she grew more curious as to what he was into and why she actually liked it despite it being uncomfortable.

It was that night that made her say yes to him when he proposed to meet again and that’s how Gabe came into her life. Though, he never gave that sort of an image, not enough to excite her, but they had agreed that she was going to get paid while he taught her a thing or two about BDSM. He called it a training and it was indeed a training. Though, she knew that she had so much more to learn and they only grazed the tip of an iceberg. And Gabe never gave her that sort of a vibe, a controlling one…hence, he was only training her and she knew he wasn’t the guy.

That was why she was a bit curious why Gabe had called her in today. Something was happening that’s for sure. She was eager to learn but she has learned to be patient with herself for now. The moment the door slid open, she heard someone rush into the room and that made her wonder if she was the reason behind it. She didn’t look up even though she wanted to, instead she stayed calm despite her heart fluttered inside her chest from knowing her naked form was on display.

It was then, she saw pair of fine shoes moving in front of her before they came to a stop. The snaps of fingers were meant for the guy in the corner and even she could make out as much. Her gaze didn’t move but she could see from the corner of her eyes when the bouncer stepped out of the room and left them inside the room. Her heart raced even faster when she saw the stranger approach her and when he grabbed the back of her head, she could feel him moving her head as if he was inspecting something.

She couldn’t keep her eyes open, probably due to nervousness as well as excitement. Her breathing had almost stopped as he did that and just as she drew in a breath, she felt his hand under her chin which then caressed her face and she was made to look up at him with her captivating green hazy eyes. That was the first time she actually saw him and in a split second, her gaze lifted up and then drew back down. A glimpse was enough to capture his face and his frame. He was obviously tall and handsome but there was something about his face and his piercing gaze that she couldn’t continue to stare in them even though she wanted to.

She chocked on air as she was about to tell him her name when Gabe answered for her. Obviously, the man in the room who was examining her, admiring her didn’t like it when Gabe spoke for her. Just as she pulled up some courage to tell him her name, she felt as if her heart seemed to have dropped ten feet into the ground after hearing the man claim her. She even questioned what that meant? ‘She’s mine!’

Gabe was obviously over excited to finally have found something/someone that his friend may like and wanted to tell him all about it, it seemed. When the man in question spoke in her favor, she couldn’t help but lift up her gaze again to watch him speak to Gabe. Just then, he looked down at her and their gazes clashed. She gulped down some air as she slowly stood on her feet but at ease. She held her palms together and naturally over her sex as she stood there with her feet next to one another to keep her legs close.

She watched him, listened to him as he spoke, taking a mental note of everything that he was saying and for some odd reason, it made her insides twitch with excitement. He didn’t want her screwing around with other people which was easy to manage. He didn’t want her to drink without his permission, it was a little too much but also doable. Hearing him set up a schedule for her, it sounded pretty much okay but it seemed, she’ll have to work out her hours at her part time job. Other than that, it was pretty much an okay deal. One thing she wanted to tell him was her not wanting unwanted pregnancies but he seemed like a guy who would be more worried than her. Besides, it was a topic that can be discussed later if she feels a threat in future.

Her gaze would linger on his face more than a few second before she’d look at Gabe and then back at the man. Her lips trembled a little as she tried to speak and finally, she managed to get out a few words, “…My name ….’s ..Taylor.” Her voice was soft but also raspy a little as she nodded at him, “I don’t have anything to add…at the moment.” She said as she wasn’t expecting this but now that she was facing it, she really had no reason to say no. She calculated her annual salary would be $120,000 and she knew it was way much more than what she would make after graduating with a degree she was working on. Most importantly, she was starting to wonder who this man was and if this deal was real. She also wondered what is it that he exactly had in mind for her, now that she was taking this deal.
