Playing Rough: 3 Hot Tales of Sensual Submission by Jaymie Holland Page A

office chair thanks to her now
red and stinging ass. She hadn’t known that being spanked and
flogged could be so hot.
    Instead she shrugged. “I tripped over my cat
and pulled a hamstring. I think Amanda is out to get me
lately.”
    Jessica laughed. “Cats are like that.”
    Amanda being ticked was true. The calico
hadn’t been happy at all that Tanya wasn’t home most of the
weekend. She had stopped by once a day to feed the little princess
and make sure she had enough water. Amanda wouldn’t even let Tanya
pet her, but she had seemed to like Austin enough to purr and rub
up against him when he stroked her soft hair.
    Tanya would like to purr and rub up against
him, too. He had told her about puppy play and pony play. She
wondered if there was such a thing as kitty play.
    The door to Austin’s office was closed and
she felt heat rise in her cheeks as she thought about what they had
done all weekend. She avoided looking at the door not wanting to
give anything away by her expression.
    “You didn’t.” Jessica sounded almost stunned.
Tanya cut her gaze to her friend to see her eyes wide and her jaw
dropped. “You did.”
    Immediately Tanya realized that Jessica had
figured it out. Damn, her face was probably red enough it had given
her away when she had been thinking about her weekend with
Austin.
    Still she tried to act innocent even though
her face had grown hotter. She lowered her voice. “Did what?”
    Thank goodness Jessica leaned in close and
whispered instead of blurting it out. “You did the boss.”
    “Right.” Tanya wasn’t going to give up
pleading innocent that easily. “You know that’s against the
rules.”
    Jessica snorted in a very unladylike manner
but kept her voice down. “As if that would stop someone with the
hots for Austin. That someone being you.”
    Austin’s door opened at that moment. He
looked calm and casual, and completely professional. And he looked
good enough to eat. As a matter of fact, she would like to go down
on him right—
    “Tanya.” He raised a folder that he was
holding. “I need to talk with you about the Miller file.”
    She almost smiled. That was the file she had
been looking for when she discovered the pictures on his computer.
She would love to talk with him about it. She wanted nothing more
than to please this man. To fulfill all of her fantasies and his.
He treated her like a queen.
    There was something so exciting about this
normal looking man who enjoyed tying her up and spanking her. She
found it incredible how he seemed to care about her. He was rough,
but did it in a way that made her as excited as anyone could be.
She wanted to be taken by this man in any way that he wanted
it.
    “I’ll be right there,” she said. Dammit, her
voice shook a little.
    He nodded and stepped back into his office
and she continued staring at the spot he’d been standing in.
    “Helloooo.” Jessica waved her hand in front
of Tanya. She couldn’t believe how hot her face kept getting as
Jessica went on but thankfully with her voice still at a whisper.
“You had better do a much better job of convincing everyone else
than you have in trying to convince me.”
    Tanya glanced around the office and was glad
to see that no one was paying attention to either of them. She took
a deep breath of relief. She could get it together. Right?
    She met Jessica’s gaze again. “We’ll talk
about it later.”
    “You’d better.” Jessica smirked. “I want
details.”
    Tanya took a deep breath as Jessica walked
away. Urgh. That hadn’t gone well. Fortunately Jessica was a good
enough friend that a relationship between Tanya and Austin wasn’t
going to get out. Not from Jessica, anyway. If Tanya kept blushing
around Austin or acting stupid whenever she thought about him, she
was not going to do well in keeping things a secret.
    Tanya took a deep breath, straightened, then
walked toward his office. She had thought about dressing a little
different for work to look sexier for
