I heard Justin’s voice, then saw him leading Mr. Daniels’s two assistants back to the lobby. No one turned to look at me, but a tingle of awareness shivered down my spine at the thought of them seeing me practically naked.
Rather than stop by my desk to get me, I watched as Justin passed again, returning to the conference room. A second later, my desk phone rang and I answered.
“Please join us in the conference room.”
“Yes, sir,” I told Justin.
I wondered why he hadn’t just told me when he passed, but then I realized as I walked alone to the conference room, wearing the outfit they’d chosen for me, that they’d done it on purpose. Despite the considerable confidence the sexy lingerie gave me, I felt incredibly vulnerable knowing that the five men sat on the other side of the door waiting to do God only knew what to me.
Rather than turn and run, I lifted my chin, keeping it at a respectable angle, squared my shoulders, straightened my spine, cognizant of how pleasing my body would appear, then turned the knob. After all, this was what Master wanted me to do.
And above all else, I wanted to please him.
Thirty-Eight
WHEN I STEPPED INTO THE room, the first thing I noticed was that all five men were sitting in the chairs around the small table. There was something set up on the far side near the windows; however, there was a large black drape covering it, so I couldn’t tell what it was. It took a tremendous amount of effort, but I kept myself from staring at it. I would find out what it was eventually.
“You look lovely,” Ben said when I turned to face them after closing the door.
My posture remained graceful and pleasing, but not in a manner that said I was looking to attract attention. Or at least that was what I was aiming for.
“You have wicked taste in clothing, Charles,” Justin stated.
“I do, don’t I?” Mr. Daniels’s gaze slid over me from head to toe, warming me more than I already was. “However, I don’t know that it’s the clothes that make her so stunning. The four of you are very lucky to have such a lovely submissive.”
The compliment made me blush.
“Damn lucky,” Ben mumbled under his breath.
“We were just talking about you, pet,” Master said, motioning me to move farther into the room.
“Yes,” Mr. Daniels agreed. “It seems you’ve made quite the impression on your bosses.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Mr. Daniels peered over at Master. “Does she have training?”
“Aside from her time here at the office, no. None whatsoever.”
Mr. Daniels looked at me once more. “Interesting.” He glanced at Master again. “Is it all right with you if I get started?”
“Absolutely.” Master’s gaze rested on my face, and I could feel the approval coming from him.
When Master’s eyes cut over to Landon, I followed, noticing that Landon’s eyes were on the floor. He was the only one who hadn’t said anything and he looked as though something was bothering him. I couldn’t imagine what, and I didn’t have a chance to figure it out.
Mr. Daniels got to his feet and moved over to me. He seemed to be assessing me as he circled, his hand leisurely caressing my arm, my hip. His touch was gentle yet firm. I could practically feel the power radiating from him.
“Face me,” he commanded when he stopped on my left side.
I turned to face him.
“Mr. Moore, if you wouldn’t mind assisting me for a moment.”
Landon got to his feet and walked toward us.
“Please touch your submissive; ensure that she’s comfortable and ready for the scene.”
My eyes lifted to Landon’s when he took his position in front of me. His hands were warm as they lightly grazed my arms, his eyes intent as they locked with mine.
The back of his hand brushed my right nipple and I inhaled sharply. The contact was not at all unpleasant. Quite the opposite, in fact. Knowing that everyone in the room was watching as Landon touched me only heightened the experience.
“Very responsive,” Mr. Daniels said from beside us.
I never looked away from Landon, completely lost in his gaze.
His hand trailed down between my legs, his finger sliding through my slit. I knew I was wet already and he discovered that also.
“Is she ready?” Mr. Daniels questioned.
Landon didn’t look away and I felt the need to assure him that I was okay with this, so I offered a small smile and a slight nod.
“She’s ready.” Landon’s voice was rough.
Mr. Daniels then looked to the others. “This is going to be fun. Thank you for inviting me here.” His smile seemed genuine. He spoke to the others when he said, “Now, if you’ll join me.”
Landon took my hand and led me over to the window where Mr. Daniels had set up, my other three bosses following close behind.
