Chapter 9 BOSS

My entrance at the opening of the mall is going exactly as I imagined it. Aziel arrived at my house early, I wasn't even out of bed yet. He made breakfast for us in my kitchen and after we had eaten it quickly, we drove straight to the mall. Of course we were half an hour late, so we can make a great entrance. In front of everyone's eyes, Aziel held me tenderly around the waist and escorted me to our reserved seats in the front row. The cameras followed us explicitly, Aziel sits proudly next to me. This could also mean an upgrade for him in case he aspires to a higher, better-paid job at a bigger company than mine. That's what most men who date me are about, upgrading. I look at him sideways and immediately decide that I will cash out my winnings from him today itself, right after this event actually. I remember that, back then, he wasn't bad at it, only his physical condition often let him down but overall he was worth my time. With Danner out of the picture now, I might as well try out someone else. Besides, Danner doesn't have any exclusive rights to me, he's just chosen. I don't belong to anyone, my life is my own. After I also gave a short speech about the software that my company has supplied to this mall and the possibilities it offers, I gracefully take my place again next to Aziel. And then I decide to give the gossip machines something to talk about, to distract their attention from Dordrich and me as a couple. Intimately, I bend over to Aziel, my lips just touching his cheek, and whisper in his ears. "Shall we show up to work later, much later?", I suggest seductively. His beaming face says it all, the cameramen don't disappoint me. Immediately they aim their lenses at us, catching this private moment. If I didn't have so much success in business, I'd apply to be a journalist at a media outlet. I already know what the headlines of the online magazines will read and which supporting photo will be included in their next article. Two birds with one stone, for me. Danner gets away with a bug in his ear and Alyssa gets confused. After the official part we chat with the investors of the mall. It is a super modern building, clearly focused on the comfort of the customer. Security is the highest priority and they, therefore, have heavily invested in digital capabilities. And with that, my company was able to earn a considerable amount of money from this project. A tour follows, and I am quite impressed by what is presented. "Aziel, do we still have room for investment? Maybe we can buy some shares on the stock exchange?", I ask him for advice. Usually I don't expect an immediate answer, I want well-considered advice based on facts and figures on matters where a lot of money is involved. And as I see it here, millions have been invested in this project already, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that success is guaranteed here with some more adjustments. There is enormous potential with other products that my company has developed, aimed at young people and transgenders, which will make this mall earn much more money. My intuition for business success is often razor sharp, I recognize a good project as soon as I see it. And what I observe here can become much larger if the setup becomes theme related. I ve only received the software draft page for this project, which is less than twenty percent of the budget. I think these investors really underestimate me, maybe my office building is not impressive enough to judge how successful my company really is. I think I have to sit down with my marketing and PR department to run a major media campaign. The tabloids alone don't seem to provide enough insight into my business expansion. Then they'll find that I'm doing a much better business than most of the mall's investors. If I could find a partner willing to share the investment risks with me, we can add this entire venture to our list of assets. I see Aziel thinking. "The largest shareholder is Mr. Fellogan, the media magnate. He is now abroad with his family, I heard that from their financial man." These words hit me hard. But I have to face the facts: Dordrich belongs to another woman, what we share is only lust, which is short-lived. I swallow the tightness in my throat, my face remains unchanged. Under no circumstances do I want to alarm Aziel, I assume he also follows the tabloids. "In any case, follow the stocks on the stock market and let me know when we need to make the right move." I'm close to him, we look like a flirty couple, no one can imagine us just discussing business. "Yes boss", he jokes, wrapping a hand around my waist. I freeze, his comment triggers something new in me, a sense of dominance. I look deep into his eyes, my heart is beating in my throat. His comment takes me to the next level, I feel horny as hell. My only hope is that Aziel doesn't disappoint me and is ready to push his limits. We finish our visit to the mall and drive to a secluded cabin along the river. I've been here before and it's very comfortable. My mood has changed, I have that strong need to dominate, to conquer. Have what is not mine. I try out Aziel and notice that he is completely willing to submit to me, let go of his restraints and give himself to me completely. In this new sex game I am indeed the boss. And it's a wonderful feeling, when I get what I want. I have never felt so satisfied, Aziel is a quick learner, he could easily take over Danner's position. Or Dordrich s…
