Devoted: A Masters and Mercenaries Novella
he’d shown her.
    Maybe they could take another shower together before he took her back to her place and she had to get ready for the day.
    But her assistant would worry and that could get the office gossiping. The last thing she needed was a rumor that she was sick or slacking off. She needed to explain to Val that she would be a few hours late and to deflect everyone by saying she had to deal with her car issues.
    Except she also had phone issues. Like she no longer had a working one. Damn.
    She turned and looked for a landline. She did know the number to get to Val’s desk.
    So why hadn’t she called Val last night when she couldn’t remember Bridget’s number? That would have been the smart play. Val would have immediately called her sister and then Will would have shown up to take care of things. Instead, she hadn’t even had a single thought of calling the office. She’d immediately turned to a man she’d only known for a week, as though she’d been waiting for something to happen so she could throw herself in his arms like one of Bridget’s heroines.
    She wandered back into the kitchen. No landline there. It looked like Flynn had joined the cellular revolution. If he had a landline it was for his Internet or security reasons. She had zero idea where his cell phone was.
    But he had two computers sitting on a desk in what looked like his office space. The condo had a wide open floor plan, with only the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms clearly delineated. The rest of the space was one large great room. In the back, close to the windows, there was a modern-looking desk with not one but two computers sitting on top. One was a laptop and the other a desktop. Both were plugged into massive screens.
    Amy set her coffee mug down and approached the desk. Val read all her e-mail, even ones from strange addresses. She would send her assistant a quick note and then take the morning off. She’d seen some eggs in the fridge. She would poke around and try to find some toast or something to make pancakes out of. Then when she’d fed him, she could try to seduce him again. By the time she had to deal with her job, she would be relaxed and happy.
    She sat down at his desk, in his big comfy chair. This was where he worked. She could picture him here, his hair tied back and eyes serious on the computer screen.
    Excuse me, Mr. Flynn. You called for me?
    Yes, I did, Amy. As my assistant, it’s your job to always ensure that the boss is satisfied. Your work earlier today wasn’t satisfactory. Those files were out of order. I’m going to have to spank you. Turn around and pull down your panties and then we’ll talk about your job performance.
    Yes, she could see that whole scenario playing out right here. He would spank her and make her get on her knees and suck his cock and then, oh, then he would lift her up and make her ride him right on this chair.
    Maybe she would wake him up. With sex. That was a nice way to wake up. Maybe she would crawl back in bed with him and cuddle up, and when he finally woke, she would be right there, willing and ready to take care of her Master’s every desire.
    But not until she’d informed Val that she wasn’t coming in. She touched the keys on the keyboard in front of her. It was attached to the mega tower that sat on the floor. She didn’t know a ton about computers themselves even though she worked for a company that supplied services directly targeting computer and information systems. Her degree was in management. She had lovely IT guys to handle the technical end of things, and her job was to give them the best work environment, benefits, and pay she possibly could.
    But she did know that Flynn’s system was way more complex than her own. It looked like that sucker was attached to various hard drives. It was odd since most people would use thumb drives to back up, or the mysterious Cloud.
    Flynn was old school. She liked it.
    The screen came up but there was no screensaver. Just a flat
