Choosing Her Lover
Chapter 11
*****
In the endless theatre which is the lobby of the Haswell Offices, my desk sits centre-stage in the large central space, with doors fore and rear, staff elevators to the left and service elevators to the right. There is a constant play of people through the space, and it is my job to ensure that everyone and everything, ends up in the right place.
Amid this, the elevator doors open, and out steps James Alexanders, accompanied by a young woman.
She’s a stunner, with perfect features, a great figure and a head of brilliantly red hair which right now, is tied back in a ponytail. She carries herself like a princess, but nonetheless, in some way which is hard to pinpoint, she defers to Alexanders.
She walks ahead of him, but as she heads for the front exit, he is right behind her, his hand resting on the small of her back as she moves. Everything about the two screams of his ownership of her, his slit-eyed, almost aggressive possession of her speaking loudly.
Is she his wife? He mentioned that he’d married recently. Is this the girl that captured the attention of one of the most aggressive Doms I’ve ever known; her Master?
Certainly, everything in the body language of the two of them screams of it.

The front doors whoosh open and in steps a familiar figure.
“Ben!” I say.
“Surprised?” he smiles, relaxing his grave features.
“Er…. yes. What can I do for you?” I ask.
“I’m here to pick up my sister-in-law.”
“Oh! Your sister-in-law? A bit of a coincidence there, then….”
He shrugs. “No, not really. I was with my brother when he got a call saying she needed a lift. Since you said you’d be working here, it gave me a nice excuse to come and find you, so I offered to come and pick her up.”
He’s seeking me out now? Should I be flattered or worried?
“That’s very sweet of you. Does she know you’re coming? Should I call her for you?”
“Yes, could you give her a buzz for me. Just tell her that Ben’s here for her. It’s Mrs Summerford, extension 4528.”
I call upstairs, to be answered by a young woman’s voice.
“Hello, is that Mrs Summerford? It’s Kirstie down in Reception. Your brother-in-law’s here for you.”
