Through the Eyes of a Male Submissive (16 page)

Via rushed over, wrapping her arms around my torso and kissed my lips. Staring into my eyes with hers beaming she commented, “Baby, the bit with Charlie had been planned. I had to beg him. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to convince him that my pushing him into a wall would help us?”

“Not easy at all, Mister Rayner,” Charlie chimed in.

She playfully grinned. “He thought I had lost my mind. No need to thank me or anything.”

“What did you have to do get Charlie to agree?”

“Um…Yeah, about that…” she began to say and grinned.

My eyes automatically narrowed at her. “I promise not to get mad. I just would like to know.”

“First, I promised not to mention a single word to Madison. She has the ability to kill all of us!” She began to speak after several seconds of silence. “I may have thrown a Christmas bonus in there too.”

“I am relieved to know you didn’t force him into this.”

Her mouth dropped as she stared at me. “I would never force anybody into anything. Well, except for you. Charlie and I had a nice little chat about you while you were in Alaska. He mentioned how you seemed a bit down the past few years, and even though I have bettered your mood since we have met, something was still off. I explained a few things and pleaded for his assistance.”

I grinned. “You talk about me behind my back with my staff, offer my money away, and then make me think you have seduced my bodyguard. Very nice touch, Mrs. Rayner.”

“Duh. If you haven’t found out I am just full of surprises, then there is no hope for you at this point.” She stuck her tongue out at me.

Oh, what I would like to do with your tongue!
“You may be right, but you know, I have a few surprises of my own. Shall we go?”

* * * *

As Charlie pulled into the parking lot of a downtown restaurant, Via stared at me in confusion.

“Am I going to have to start teaching you how to shock people? Taking someone out for breakfast isn’t that big of a deal, unless it’s a buffet, of course.”

I shook my head. Once Charlie had stopped the car at the front entrance, I opened the door. Bending over and holding out my hand for her, I asked, “Shall we, Mrs. Rayner?”

“They better have biscuits and gravy here or I am going to be pissed.” She grabbed on to my hand so I could assist her out. “I should have stayed in my pajamas.”

Rolling my eyes, the doormen opened the entry doors for us. “Welcome, Mister and Mrs. Rayner,” both men said in sync.

“Never mind on the pajamas concept. What is this, a five-star restaurant?”

I could no longer hold in my smile. “It may very well be, Mrs. Rayner. That’s just all up to you and how you run the place.”

Ushering her over towards the counter where a full line of cooks, waiters, waitresses, and a couple of hostesses stood professionally and grinning at us, I said to her, “I would like to introduce you to your new staff.”

Tears were pushing the rims of her eyes as she looked at her staff dressed in black slacks with fancy white buttoned shirts. The chefs wore their white toques.

She smiled at everyone, her eyes trailing their way to me. “You bought me a restaurant and fully staffed it?”

I raised my eyebrows and my head backed away from her. I couldn’t tell if she had tears of joy or if she was mad as hell.

Waiting for her to smack the shit of out me, I trembled a bit as she leaped into my arms.

“This is a good surprise, I take it.”

“You win the title of best one to give the surprises.” She kissed my lips long and hard.

Shaking my head, I wrapped her legs around me as I held her. “Via, you had me believing Charlie was your next submissive. I knew what you were doing in the back of my mind, but my rage still wanted nothing of it. I want you all to myself, Olivia Marie Rayner. I wouldn’t know how to live anymore if I didn’t have you.”

She pressed her forehead against mine. “You are the only submissive I need, and want, Ryan. I’m in love with you.” She pressed her lips to my nose. “Thank you so much for all of this.”

“Baby, I’m ready and willing to give you the world.”

She planted her lips on mine, holding on to the back of my hair as she did so. Leaping down before she ignited any more of the fire that had already started in my groin, she asked, “You astonish me with a restaurant and staff on the Fourth of July. Should I be expecting a country on Christmas?”

“Enjoy your first staff meeting. I will be waiting for you outside.” Giving her a quick slap on the ass, I strolled outdoors.

* * * *

“Oh, we have to get the snakes! They are my favorite!” Via squealed at the firework store.

I couldn’t help but grin. “I have a snake for you later.”

She elbowed me in the abdomen. “Ryan! Behave yourself.”

“You make it difficult, Mrs. Rayner.” Kissing her hair, I held her closer to my body as we checked out.

A grin crept along my lips as she saw the final cost.
It’s only money, sweetie.

“Did you just spend over a thousand bucks on fireworks?” she wondered as we made our way back to the car.

I shook my head. “No baby, we just bought over a thousand bucks worth of fireworks.”

Her face became as white as a sheet and she looked as if she was ready to puke at any given second.

“Baby, are you feeling alright? Is this about the amount of money spent?” I wondered as I held on to her with a firm grip.

She stared at me, her eyes narrowed and lips puckered. “Well no fucking shit!”

I shook my head, not being able to control my grin. “This is nothing compared to what I have in store for you.”

“You better fucking not! If you do, you will be breaking one of the rules I made clear in the contract!”

My grin turned into a smirk. “I hope you know a good lawyer…”

* * * *

It didn’t take long for Charlie to pull up to my parents’ house.

Via was already bouncing up and down in the seat.

Damn! If she were bouncing on me…

We strolled towards the house together as Charlie carried the fireworks. My mother greeted myself and Via with a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. I gazed at my brother as we walked into the room. It bugged me that I couldn’t quite make out the expression on his face. Before I opened my mouth to speak, she appeared out of the corner of my eye.
Of course, he invited her!

“Hello Ryan…Via.” Jennifer welcomed us, her black pants hugging her hips. She was wearing the shiny black heels she wore the last time we fucked. I couldn’t believe she kept them all of these years.

I smiled at her as she stood near Jason, and I clung to Via a bit tighter. “It’s wonderful to see you again, Jen.”

“Via, darling, I have ordered the most ravishing centerpieces for the reception. Come with me, please. I also have a few cake designers lined up.” My mother pulled her away and out of the room.

I was not certain how it happened, but Jen and I found ourselves alone in the same room. We glared at each other for a few minutes until she smiled. “I noticed you staring at the shoes. You remember them, don’t you?”

I grinned. “Quite well, Miss Davis.”

She strolled up to me and caressed my cheek like she used to, “Do you have any idea how much I miss you, Mister Rayner?”

Within seconds, her lips pressed against mine. It sent my mind back five years. My eyes closed, feeling my lips moving in sync with hers.

Before I could even think, she shoved me away and glared me in horror. Her hand slapped my face so hard I felt the sting afterwards. The sound of shattering glass forced me to jerk my head around. Via stood there, her face pale as if she had just seen a ghost. She strode up to me, thrashing the opposite cheek Jen struck.

“I apologize for interrupting the reunion. Please do not stop on my account. Carry on.”

“Via!” I tried catching up with her since she ran out of the room.

She kicked her shoes off, allowing her to run faster.

“Baby, look out!”

She smacked right into Charlie and he caught her. Looking back at me, she scowled and turned back to him. She angled them enough so I could see what she was doing. Seizing him by his shirt, she pulled him into a forever-lasting lip lock.

My body shivered in anger as I watched them play tonsil hockey.
Alright Olivia, you have proved your fucking point!

She pulled away from him and smacked his ass as she made her way around him to leave the house.

Jason came in from the door Via was headed for. “What has my idiotic brother done now?”

She shook her head. “I just need to get out of here!”

He escorted her out, and just like that, she vanished.

Holy Fuck!
How could I be so stupid to let this get so out of hand?

Apologizing to my parents, Charlie and I left. He drove to the house. I ran inside, looking for Via. Neither she nor Jason was anywhere to be seen.

I lip-locked with my ex submissive. Why on earth would I think she would come home? If my foolish brother does anything stupid, I swear…

Strolling into my office, I walked about the room and stopped in front of the safe. I spun the combination lock to left, right, and then left again. Pulling out the box containing our rings, I sat down on my chair and opened it. I picked up her ring sitting in its case.

What in the hell was I thinking by bringing this sweet woman into this mess?
Whether she proposed her contract to me or not, I should have never gone along with it. She didn’t deserve any of this.

Placing her ring back where it belonged, I wrote a note stating I needed some space to set my head straight. Putting the piece of paper on top of the rings, I stepped out of the room. Digging my phone out of my pocket, I called the only person who would listen to me.

“I’m sorry to call you like this, but would you mind picking me up?”

The Rayner Household-Seattle, Washington. Madison White

Charlie had called for my assistance in tracking down Ryan. He disappeared after the incident Charlie explained to me. My mind was already in cop mode by the time he explained the part where Via kissed him out of revenge. I took the news well, simply because I understood her intentions.

Via busted into the house with panic written on her face and Jason trailing behind her. “Is he here?”

Charlie and I shook our heads at the same time. I gazed at her sympathetically. “Ryan took off, leaving the cars here. If he is not on foot, he had to have somebody pick him up.”

Her fear transformed to anger as she folded her arms. “I bet he is with that whore,” she said, looking at Jason and back to me.

“Isn’t there a way you can track him with some fancy-chancy gadget?”

I couldn’t help but smile at her use of words. “Where does he keep his computer?”

We followed Charlie into Ryan’s office. Via picked up the note he had left, shaking her head and darting out of the room.

I looked over at Charlie. “Go with her so she doesn’t leave. Make sure to calm her down.”

Charlie nodded and left the room.

Taking a seat at the desk, I moved the mouse and the computer flicked on.

Jason watched me. “I have a good idea where he is.”

It took me a grand total of five minutes to track him down. “He is right outside of Seattle.” I dug deeper for the address.

“Jennifer Davis…”

Jason shook his head in disappoint. “You would think she would be the last person he would go to. I guess some people never learn, especially my dumb ass brother.”

“Via is going to be extremely pissed once I confirm Ryan’s whereabouts.”

Damn dominants and their submissive women!

“I will talk to Via. You and Charlie go get Ryan. Drag his ass out if you have to!” I told them as they strolled out of the room.

Jennifer Davis’s House-Seattle, Washington. Ryan Rayner

“What made you call me, Ryan—my luscious lips?” Jen wondered as she strolled to her couch, still wearing those damned heels.

Shaking my head, I slumped down into a chair and rested my head in my palms.

“I just needed to go somewhere to clear my head, and be around someone who actually listens to me.”

I felt my dominance aching to take over control and spank the shit out of her for the kiss. I had to clench my fists in to my hair to keep from doing so.
She’s not your submissive anymore, Ryan. You are marrying Via!

Striding over to me, she sat on my lap, which caused my mind to travel five years into the past again. She grabbed a hold of my hands and lightly kissed them. I couldn’t help but let a small smile escape. This was her way of trying to make me feel better.

“You truly love this woman, don’t you?”

I nodded my head in defeat, looking up to meet her gaze. Jennifer has never seen this side of me: defenseless and lost. “I do. She is everything to me.”
