that Sunday evening, you will answer to me, respond to my wishes, and do as I say. Sex may, or may not, be involved in this training. You will be available to me, twenty-four-seven.” Gage paused and watched her eyes dart back and forth. “Do you understand, Emma?”
    “I… I think so.”
    “Don’t hesitate, Emma. I may have to punish you.”
    “We haven’t talked about punishment.”
    “That will come.”
    “Can you write that in there? Because, I want to make sure that we do talk about punishment.”
    “Emma, it’s simple. Once you agree to our terms, if you need to be punished, you will know what that will entail.”
    “Can you tell me now? I’m…I’m actually fearful of pain.”
    Gage sighed and leaned closer into the desk. “Emma, I promise you, I will not harm you or cause you great physical pain. A punishment will match the offense, so that you will associate one with another. I can’t guarantee that I won’t resort to spanking your ass if the need should arise. But I will tell you now that if you challenge me today and require discipline, your punishment will be to stand naked at the window behind me, spread eagle, your tits smashed against the glass, wearing nothing but those delicious red heels you have on, while I work. Afterward, if you have endured your punishment nicely, I will reward you by fucking you from behind while you are clinging to that glass. Is that clear enough?”
    She shifted in her seat. Her cheeks flushed pink. “Yes. Quite.”
    “All right. The rest of this will go quickly.”
    “Thank God,” she said.
    Gage lifted a brow, but ignored that. “Item four is the nondisclosure statement. You must agree to total confidentiality. I am to remain anonymous. And you are to practice complete discretion.”
    “Agreed,” she said.
    “Items four, five and six have to do with physical and mental health checks and a background screening. Fortunately, we’ve already done the regular company background checks. I require a clean bill of health, mentally and physically, before we move forward. You will visit the company doctor for a complete blood work up and physical. Chad will make the appointment. Is all of that understood?”
    She nodded. “Yes. And you will do the same?”
    “I will provide you with the paperwork of my clean bill of health.”
    “Physically and mentally?” She grinned.
    Gage closed his eyes. “Woman, you are bound and determined to try my patience, aren’t you?”
    “I just want to make sure I’m not hooking up with someone who had not been duly vetted.”
    Her face was a mite smug. Was she teasing him? He felt the most uncanny urge to round the desk and gather her in his arms and kiss the smugness off her pert little face. Instead, he peered into her eyes, lowered his voice, and said, “Emma, I will provide anything you like as long as you consent to giving over your pretty little pussy to me. But I assure you I am physically and mentally healthy. I get an exam monthly from my doctor. Chad will provide the latest results for you.”
    “Thank you.”
    Gage cleared his throat. “May I go on?”
    “Absolutely.”
    “All right. Item seven.” This clause might be a deal breaker if she reacted in any way other than was acceptable to him. Of course, if she stopped to think about it, she’d realize her hands were figuratively tied. Gage continued. “In exchange for this weekend, you will receive a new job—back in Charlotte. You will relocate immediately, and I will pay the expenses. Once this weekend concludes, you are never to contact me again. You are never to speak of me, or our time together, personally or professionally, with anyone, at any time, now or in the future. Our relationship will not exist once the weekend is over. Do you understand this, Emma?”
    For the first time, her face was devoid of emotion. Gage was unsure what that meant. Her expression reminded him of someone who might be in shock—blank and emotionless. He was certain what he
