His Absolute Insistence: A Scandalous Billionaire Love Story (Jessika, #2)
Tanner," Lucent said.  "Kneel."
    More clothes maybe.  Rustling.  Elise kneeling?
    "You're an extremely difficult woman," Lucent said.  "You sneak into my office without my permission, use my desk for your own pleasure, and then you have the gall to act as if nothing is amiss.  Have I missed anything?"
    Elise snapped back at him.  "I certainly didn't use the desk for my own pleasure.  I was trying to get some work done."
    Asher laughed, because it sounded exactly like something she'd say.  Lucent might be a little austere at times, but he and Elise had a certain sort of playful banter between them.  She was the only one Lucent let get away with this, even if he tried to deny that he let her get away with anything.
    When Asher realized who he was in the car with, Hanna sitting beside him, he stopped laughing and hid behind a serious mask once more.  She simply lifted one brow at him, mouth pursed, curious.
    "I recognize you have a mouth, Miss Tanner," Lucent said.  "But I don't want you to use it at the moment."
    "You asked me a question!" Elise shouted.
    Something happened then, but Asher didn't know what.  He heard sounds of... something?  Was that a soft moan?  Barely audible, mistakable for anything, really.  He couldn't say for certain.
    A few seconds later, Elise spoke again.  "Why did you stop?"
    "I needed a moment to contemplate your punishment," Lucent said.
    "You could spank me?  You did say that I was using your desk for my own pleasure, but I don't think I was, so if you want, I can, and you can spank me there?"
    Asher reminded himself not to laugh this time.  Something struck him as increasingly odd, too.  First off, when was this recording taken?  In Lucent's office, apparently, or so it seemed from Lucent and Elise's conversation.  During work hours, presumably, or at least Elise had mentioned trying to do work.  Except there were mentions of spankings, which definitely didn't follow common office protocol.
    "You do realize that you're awful at this, still, don't you?" Lucent said.
    "I'm trying!  I knelt on the floor, didn't I?"
    "It goes on like that," Hanna said, tapping the screen of the phone to pause the recording.  "And then..."  She tapped something else to fast forward it to another part.
    "Will you be good?" Lucent's voice again.  "Will you do anything I say, Elise?"
    "Yes, Lucent," Elise said.
    "I don't want you to speak.  I want you to use your mouth for something else.  Do you understand?"
    There was nothing visual happening, but Asher could easily guess what Lucent meant.
    "You may begin," Lucent said.
    No more talking after that.  More sounds like before, but this time they had context.  While Asher couldn't confirm with absolute certainty what was happening, it seemed all but assured that Elise was kneeling in front of Lucent, giving him a blowjob.  In his office.  During standard working hours.
    Hanna let the recording continue for another ten seconds or so, then she stopped it again and took her phone back.
    "Do you have any idea what that was?" she asked.
    "I believe I just listened to two people roleplaying some sort of office relationship with sex involved," he said.
    "You laughed," she added.  "I take it you recognize the people in that recording?"
    "I'm not sure what you want me to say," Asher said.  "I'm not going to answer you either way.  I don't know what the context of that recording was, and I have no idea where you got it."
    "Someone sent it to me," she said.  "Supposedly it's Lucent Storme, your Director of Public Relations, and his newest girlfriend, Elise Tanner.  Again, supposedly, it's from recording equipment installed in all of the Landseer Enterprises laptop computers.  My sources say that these were found this morning, apparently privately installed there by Mr. Storme.  They weren't sure why he would do something like that and they didn't explain how they discovered the software, but there's apparently thousands of recordings from
