She needed a job, he needed a personal assistant. It seemed like a match made in heaven until he laid out the rules he expected her to follow.
Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.
Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.
My submission for this week is a selection from my sixth spanking book, Lessons in Love, despite the title of this post indicated it would be Learning to be Little. That's what I get for holding off posting until the last minute.
"Lessons in Love" centers around a wealthy business owner who believes in helping his executive admins using politically incorrect, H.R.unapproved, and therefore clandestine, Domestic Discipline techniques. Since DD isn't for everyone, he does tend to go through admins rather frequently. However, he also makes sure if they choose not to work for him because of his unorthodox management style, that they are given another suitable position in his company if they wish to stay, or a handsome severance package if they choose to leave.
In her discussion meeting with Mr. Peterson, Pam lets it slip that Krista talked to her about Peterson's previous assistant. His lips set in a firm line, Mr. Peterson promptly calls Krista into his office. When Pam immediately leaps to her friend's defense, her boss pulls a thin paddle from his desk's top drawer. This time Krista is the one to protest as she demands to know if Pam consented to follow Peterson's program. Terrified Krista will be fired for her slip, Pam she blurts out that she'll agree to Mr. Peterson's discipline. With a nod, he sends Krista home for the rest of the day and orders Pam to stand in the corner. After a few minutes, he asks her to tell him why she's being punished. She knows why. She'd been disrespectful by cutting him off and continuing to state her case even after he cautioned her to be silent. She knows he won't really hurt her, and he isn't trying to humiliate her, but the embarrassment is almost too much for her to bear.
"Quiet. You are not to
talk. We are doing this because you refused to heed my warnings. So, as part of
your lesson, you need to not only hear my words, but listen to the intent
behind them. If you'd listened, you might have realized I wasn't firing Krista,
I was sending her home to reflect on her misdeeds. I already told you I admire
her and value her opinion. So, why would I fire her for speaking out of turn
with you?"
"Because you have zero
tolerance for gossip," she answered, wincing slightly at the sharp smack
he gave her.
"What did I say you were
to do?"
"Listen, sir.
But…."
"Go on."
"I thought you'd asked
me a question. And you said—"
"Point taken. I will
stop phrasing my words in the interrogative so you can just listen." His
hands continued to rove from her neck to her calves as though testing for
resistance. Closing her eyes, Pam gave herself over to the man holding her and
listened to his words.
"Better. This is the
mindset I prefer you to be in, although I know it won't always be possible for
you to be this willing and obedient, but, at this moment, you are doing
precisely what I ask, and that pleases me."
She sighed. His approval
meant a lot to her, and she reveled in the warmth of his praise.
"Perfect, Pam." His
left arm tightened its hold, but she forced herself not to tense.
"Good." Then his right hand came down with a resounding smack that
brought her head snapping up from her arms and tears to her eyes."
Pam Weston has worked in Robert Peterson's company for nearly six months as a temp when she is reassigned to the President's office. She has caught glimpses of Mr. Peterson when she temped on the executive floor, but she never expected she'd be summoned to work for him. Pam has a criminal record and a murky past, which has made her practically unemployable, and yet now H.R. has assigned her to work for the president of their company, and after her first day she suspects working for Mr. Peterson will be a very different experience.
Blurb:
Pam Weston didn't have many choices as far as employment went. Her prison sentence saw to that. With limited secretarial skills, and an even more limited budget, she never considered herself executive material. So, when she was ordered to report to the CEO of her company as his new personal assistant, she fully expected to be checking out the "Help Wanted" section of the paper before the day was over.
Robert Peterson knew his management style was not HR approved, but he believed in using the stick as well as the carrot. Employing the tenets of domestic discipline, he helped mold his personal assistants into confident women who recognized their own self-worth. Even so, his unorthodox methods were only one of the reasons many considered the position of his assistant to be a revolving door. To Rob's mind, Pamela Weston was perfect for his purposes, though given her past he expected convincing her would be a challenge.
