Chapter 4
“Wait, what do you mean you found a potential sub?” Raina asked. After ending work, Lina went straight to the dungeon to meet up with Raina. Neither one of them had any clients for the day, but it didn’t mean they didn’t have work to do. While going through contracts and applications of new clients, Lina told Raina that she may have found a submissive for herself.
“His name is Philip McAdams. He came into the office today to apply for the open paralegal position.”
“Lina, having your employee—”
“Not my employee. I didn’t hire him,” Lina immediately cut off Raina.
“Regardless, even if you did hire him, you can’t have him as your submissive. That’s a conflict of interest.”
“But it’s not against the rules. And besides, he’s going to be blindfolded most of the time. He won’t know it’s me,” Lina countered.
“He’s going to know your voice, silly goose.”
“Mmmm … I don’t think he will. My voice here is very different from the voice I use at work.” Raina rolled her eyes. She knew she could never win an argument with Lina. She was a lawyer, after all.
“Ok. Fine. So what is it about this guy that’s different from any other guy that’s come in here looking to be treated like dirt by a woman?”
“He’s young, impressionable, quirky, clumsy, and from the way he couldn’t stop staring at me, he’s a virgin. Or, at the very minimum, inexperienced,” Lina answered. Raina lifted a brow at her.
“How young are we talking?” Raina asked, giving Lina a suggestive look.
“Ew! No! He’s an adult, Raina! Mid-20s at the youngest. He would have to be since he graduated college and law school.” Raina nodded her head.
“Lina! That’s at least a decade younger than you!” Raina exclaimed.
“So?”
“You don’t even like younger men.”
“There’s a first for everything.”
“You’re playing with fire, Lina,” Raina warned her. Lina shrugged it off. Raina knew that Lina was as stubborn as a mule, so she didn’t spend too much of her valuable oxygen arguing. “Whatever. If you want him to be your sub, you’re going to have to get to know him. See what his kinks are. You know as well as I do that not all men are open to being subs. They think it’s too emasculating.”
“I know. I’m using my connections and resources to get him to reapply at my firm.”
“Oh, you didn’t?” Raina grumbled when she understood the underlying meaning behind Lina’s words.
“I did.”
“Why do you do that? You did that to Shelly and Erika. If you like them, just f*****g hire them. Why do you insist on hurting their feelings and then manipulating them into coming back to you as if they didn’t have any other choice?”
“Because it’s fun.”
“No, that’s not fun, not for them anyway. That’s f****d up.”
“Shelly and Erika are fine, aren’t they?” Lina said dismissively.
“They weren’t at first!” Raina retorted.
“Eh, why are you bringing up old s**t?” Lina waved her off. Raina sighed, closed her eyes, and shook her head. Sometimes, she wondered how she and Lina were still able to be friends.
“How are you going to even find out if he’s into this kind of stuff?”
“Slow and steady. He’s a recent graduate in desperate need of a job. Whether he reapplies to the firm to be a paralegal, or I can convince him to be my submissive for a price, either way, I get to have my boy toy,” Lina replied with a quick raise of her brows and a suggestive expression.
“You’re going to seduce him?”
“Win him over is more like it.”
“And if he’s not into the kinky s**t that we are?”
“I have nothing to lose. I will continue on my search for the perfect sub.”
“Lina, I’m telling you, there is no such thing as the perfect sub.”
“But what if there is?” Lina countered.
“There isn’t. I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you have,” Raina reiterated, trying to knock some sense into Lina’s mind.
“But what if there is?” Lina enunciated. “Even if it’s just one?” she continued as she held up her finger when she said ‘one.’
Raina signed before responding with, “Then I’d say as a Dominatrix in the making, you’ve struck gold— Diamond-encrusted platinum spoon is more like it.”
“Then serve me up, Madam.”
