Hugh nodded and sat back in his chair. “By all means. We prefer it.”

“Will this get me fired? I don’t want to be fired right after I start.”

“My father won’t like it, no. Linden and I are also taking a risk here.”

“B-but why? Why risk your jobs for… me?”

“Granted, we have less at risk than you do. We’ll survive just fine,” Hugh explained. He was clearly the one in charge, even with Linden. “If the company does fire you, we’ll make sureyou’re financially covered and help you find another job, and give you a glowing review. We won’t leave you hanging out to dry forourlife choices.”

I glanced at Linden as he leaned close enough to me that I could inhale his fresh, aquatic scent. It was so much lighter and fresher than Hugh’s bolder cologne. If colognes were personalities, their scents fit them perfectly.

“I thought you liked us,” Linden whispered in my ear, sending chills across my body. “Yes, this is highly unusual and definitely inappropriate, but you’ve captured us, Atlas.” My eyes glanced at Hugh, who watched our interaction closely. His coffee eyes had turned black. Clearly, Linden’s reaction to me turned him on. “You can tell us to stop, and we will, and again, you will be able to keep your job. Don’t worry about that part. Or you can enter our world. Trust me when I tell you that you’ll be rewarded in so many ways. Wewilltreat you like our princess.”

It was definitely not appropriate for work, but I wanted to see where this went. Iwantedto be their princess. Was it strange that I was ready to leap into this after only one night with them? An amazing night, sure, but it’d only happened once. Yeah, I’d like to be theirs. I enjoyed being called beautiful and being worshiped. They made me feel… good, confident, and special. Linden and Hugh wantedme, of all people. They were risking their jobs to have me. Why did that make me warm inside?

“What would you have me do?” I asked.

“Be doted on. Be adored. But there’s a caveat,” Hugh explained.

“What caveat?”

He leaned forward again; this time, he was grinning. “If you mess up in your job in any way, we get to punish you… in the best possible way, of course.”

I swallowed, and there went the blood, straight to my cock. “Punished?”

Linden scooted closer to me and draped his arm over the back of the sofa. “What do you think about spankings?”

I hadn’t been spanked before, but it sounded fun coming from them. My mind flashed to being bent over their desks, stripped of my slacks and underwear, and having them smack my ass before pounding into me. “Okay! Yes,” I blurted.

Hugh reached for my face and grazed the backs of his fingers across my cheek. “Stunning skin. Atlas? We want you to explore our world with us. We think you’d be perfect. Iknowyou’d be perfect. In return, we will reward you greatly, and there will be just you and only you, no one else.”

“And if you want to stop at any time, we’ll stop,” Linden reminded me.

“That’s right,” Hugh said. “Are you in?”

I didn’t think about it too hard, though perhaps I should have. Get paid well and have some kinky fun? Seemed like a great time. It could end in disaster, too. I was being impulsive, but I wasn’t stupid. “Yes, I’m in.”

Hugh stood and sat behind his desk to rummage in one of his drawers. “Let’s set you up with HR. Linden and I will have a private agreement that we will all sign. It’s not only to protect us, but to protect you.”

“Like an NDA?”

“Sort of. There will be a list of expectations and such.”

“When can you start?” Linden asked.

“I have to give my two weeks’ notice. I didn’t want to say anything until I was certain I got the job.”

Hugh pulled out a manila folder and dropped it on his desk. “This has all the paperwork to fill out that will be given to HR. Inside is a list of duties and your job description. You’ll have health, dental, and personal time off, as well as two weeks of paid vacation. The salary starts at $80,000. All arenon-negotiable. I think our employment package is more than generous.”

“God, I can’t believe you hired me. I mean… You don’t even know me. What if I’m bad at it?”

“We’ve already looked into your work history. You’ll be fine. However, while you will be punished for fun for making mistakes, we also don’t want that to be a regular occurrence. Linden and I still have jobs to maintain, and we don’t need to make our workload worse. You’re still here to take the load off our jobs, so we expect you to do your best.”

My mind was still reeling. It was so wild. If someone had told me when I woke up this morning, I would not only run into my one-night stand and have them hire me, but also that they wanted more of me sexually.

“Oh, I will do my best, for sure. So… is this a temporary thing or…?” I left the rest hanging to see where they took it.

“This is on a trial basis. I think we all want to make sure we mesh well, right?” Linden asked.
