“Good boy.” My reward was another inch of his finger and for him to slowly start fucking me deeper. “Now, try again.”

I could do it.

Harvey wasn’t going to make me lose my reward.

“He...he’s rude, so I don’t have to talk nicely about him.” I wasn’t going to agree to use manners but Master hummed in agreement as he inched his finger deeper. “He doesn’t understand how spreadsheets work. He doesn’t. I...I know they’re hard for some people but he changes the formulas and...and he just won’t admit he can’t do it.”

Janet couldn’t do it either, so I handled it and she was polite about it.

Harvey wasn’t polite.

“Not everyone is good at that kind of stuff but he can’t be a dick.” Master kissed my head again, probably because I stayed relaxed. “You’re not mean, though, so tell me what happened.”

“I...I was trying to be nice.” It’d been a struggle. “He messed up the formulas again. All of them.”

I still wasn’t sure how.

“It was going to take at least a few hours to fix it and make sure the numbers were right, so I...I had to tell my boss that the projections would be late.” I reported correct numbers or no numbers. Being late was terrible, though, so I was always careful to report on time. “He was very unhappy but I explained clearly and concisely that Harvey had gone in and changed the spreadsheet.”

Master gave me another inch and barely touched my prostate before easing back.

I was going to like having my button pushed.

“You don’t have to take the blame for someone else’s bad decisions or incompetence.” Master was smart to understand that faster than Harvey had. “What happened next?”

“I started working on fixing the spreadsheet. He...he was called into my boss’s office and after a few minutes he came out angry.” Very angry and he was stomping through the main hallway. “He came up to my desk and started screaming at me about screwing him over and he...he used words I probably shouldn’t repeat.”

HR got involved when people used those words.

“You’re doing good.” He thought I was doing so good he finally pushed his finger deeper and did something to make my entire body light up.

Amazing.

“You did it.” He was very good at this. “I...I like this consequence.”

Yes.

This was going to be a top-of-my-list rewards and consequences.

“He used inappropriate language to accuse me of being...well, not neurotypical and with an IQ that is lower than average.” It was hard to translate his screaming into words that wouldn’t get me in trouble.

No one wanted to deal with HR.

“My boss came out and...and basically dragged Harvey away.” While he was still screaming at me. “I decided at that point I was done for the day and then...and then I ended up here.”

I might not have made that decision consciously but it’d been a good one anyway.

No matter what Harvey said, I was incredibly smart.

“Because you knew this was where you needed to be.” Master was so proud of me that he kissed my neck and lit me up again. “Just relax and let me reward my smart boy.”

Me.

I was his and it was time for my reward.
