Declaration to Submit Read Online Free Page A

Anelda. I wanted you sober when you negotiated your declaration with me.”
    They were back to where this insane conversation began. She’d laughed at something she’d only dreamed about in her fantasies.
    But this was not how she’d hoped to be…dominated. She’d wanted a relationship, a partnership, that had kink on the side. This? This was…what? She didn’t even know. Part of her was titillated, fascinated by the idea of being acquired like a hostile company. But there was a romantic side that balked, that wanted so much more than play.
    She cleared her throat. “What did you mean by three days?” Oh, she knew. Though she’d said very little to her friends, she knew what was in that clause.
    “The rules are clear, and they are outlined in the fraternization clause of your employee agreement.” He gripped her chin and held her gaze. “Though I get the impression you didn’t fully understand the section regarding this aspect of your employment.”
    How wrong he was, but she wasn’t going to reveal that. “I never intended to declare anything,” she stated and licked her lips. Right? That was true, wasn’t it?
    He sighed. “The contract states that if the employee at the time of declaration is impaired or feels threatened, that the senior officer has three days to determine if the declaration is valid.”
    She wouldn’t last three minutes. Her mouth went dry with fear. How could she get out of this? Did she really want to get out of this? “So you have three days to play with me? I have no choice?”
    “You always have a choice, Nell,” he said softly.
    Right. Sure. If she didn’t want to be employed. “And if I walk out that door?”
    He took a deep breath. “You will be subject to disciplinary action. However, the only consequence you will have to deal with is your inebriation last night. Though we are not strict about employee behavior as a rule, you are here for a ConFed conference.” He shrugged. “You are well aware that the legality of that section of the agreement regarding fraternization is a slippery slope. But the section on employee behavior during company conferences is not.”
    “And if I stay?”
    His stare was hard. “You will still have to pay the consequences, but they will be between you and your new boss.”
    She blinked. “Maybe I don’t understand.”
    He pointed to himself. “Me. You asked last night if you belong to me.” He smiled. “You do. Whether it will be as a secretary or as something more remains to be seen.”
    For a moment, it all seemed reasonable, completely normal. She shook her head, trying to clear it, finding only confusion. “None of this makes any sense at all.”
    Then he did something unexpected. He tugged her into his lap and held her. It didn’t seem sexual. It wasn’t some ploy to convince her. There was tenderness and care in his hands, and she appreciated it more than she thought she would.
    “Stay with me, Nell. See if this is what you want. If it isn’t, I promise you can sign the nondisclosure form and go on with your life.”
    She should resist. She should run like hell. But she was no longer sure that she hadn’t wanted this from the beginning. If she was honest with herself, she could admit that the stipulation in the employee agreement had awakened that long-buried need she wouldn’t indulge.
    Successful, thirty, and still single, she hadn’t met a man who had given her the kind of dominance she needed. Her job required a cold, rational demeanor that distanced her from almost everyone. Gina and Tori had known her forever, and they knew the real woman behind the files, but she wanted to surrender, to trust someone with everything. To let go.
    Had she created this situation? Damn it. She scrambled out of his lap and smoothed down her dress. Was she out of her ever-loving mind?
    Straightening her shoulders, she sat down across from this strange man and asked the question she knew implied that she was going to stay. “Will you at
