Then, he gets an email congratulating him on being chosen for an interview, and he decides to go with it. Why wouldn't he want to provide Geoff with more chances to claim him after the last two encounters? Meanwhile, he tries not to think about that unexplained kiss that happened last time they saw each other. Little does he know that Geoff himself is behind the scheduled interview, and he plans on punishing Ryan for not having the initiative to take this opportunity himself while explaining what he expects from him in the future. Worse yet, Geoff leaves Ryan unsatisfied, but promises him more if he shows up for his job interview the next morning. Ryan has no idea how close to the line Geoff's willing to go until he finds himself bent over in front of the office door and ordered to stay silent! **A sequel to this story will be released by October 7th, so make sure you sign up to the mailing list for an email notification when it's released!** Warning: This short story contains scenes of an explicit nature between consenting adults including office spanking with and without a ruler, and hot sex in the middle of the work day, and is intended only for an 18+ audience.

He usually preferred to take a very hands-off approach and let everyone else manage the company, only taking care of the high-level stuff like... stock meetings, probably. What was he doing sleeping with the most powerful man he knew? These thoughts didn't stop him from walking down the aisle of the office, the lights flicking on ahead of him as he walked and leaving a clear trail between his desk and Geoff's private office. When he reached the doorway, Geoff came into view. The CEO was leaning back in his chair, his feet on the desk, a tablet on his lap as he poked at it. He was handsome as ever, his dark hair ruffled and shirt open a few buttons now. He glanced up, then raised his eyebrows at the sight of Ryan. “Come in.” Ryan entered, his hand lingering on the edge of the door to subtly ask if he should close it. Geoff shook his head. “Sit down.” No sex, then. He tried not to feel crestfallen. “I just, uh, had a question.” “Ask away.” “I got an email today that I was applying for a job... the job with you.” Geoff nodded. He didn't look surprised, and Ryan started to suspect something he hadn't even dared to hope. “Did you... um, do you know what happened?” Geoff's eyes sparkled with amusement. “Well, I went through the employee records to choose people I thought might be good for the job... and I chose you.” Ryan's heart skipped a beat and he sat up straighter. “You... chose me?” “Assuming your interview goes well, HR approves of my choice, and you're willing to put in the work, you could have the job. I think your prior experience would lend itself well to the job, don't you?” “Well, yes...” Ryan could hardly breathe. Geoff wanted him. “So, why didn't you apply?” Geoff set aside his tablet and picked up a stress ball, rolling it between his palms as he stared at Ryan. That gaze was always so intense. It made Ryan want to offer up everything – his secrets, his service, his submission... less
