You still have some fight in you.

"I'm not going to betray my wife... You didn't have that kind of control over me. Not anymore." You said, doing your best to stay strong.

"Oh, is that so?" She said, turning to you as you took your hands off of her shoulders. You'd been massaging her this whole time... "There's nothing I could do to make you mine again?" Alison raised an eyebrow as a wry grin crossed her face.

"No. Nothing. I may have been a bit weak before, but I love Tegan. I'm not going to do anything to ruin what we have!" You crossed your arms, standing resolute. You didn't know what she had up her sleeves, but you were ready.

"Okay, then," she said, turning back to the paperwork. "Then I suppose I'll have to deny these." She didn't even look through the paperwork before setting it off to the side.

"You can't do that, Alison. Just because I won't sleep with you?" You asked, hurrying back around to the front of her desk.

"I can do whatever I want, puppy. If I say that I don't want to approve these forms, then I won't. It's as simple as that." She stared you down, watching your frustration build. "But I'm not heartless. If you are so insistent that you will not do as I say, then let us put that to the test."

She stood up and walked around to your side of the desk, "you will take me on one date. If it stays platonic, then not only will I approve your paperwork, I will leave you alone. But if things become... less platonic, then I will own you. You will be mine and there will be no turning back. But, of course, that's not a risk, is it? Since there is nothing I can do to make you cheat. Isn't that right, John?"

She rarely, if ever, used your actual name. As far as you knew, she only did that when she was deadly serious. So this was her game, huh? Well, you were confident. You could definitely win this deal.

"What are the conditions?" You asked.

"Good. I'm glad you're willing to play ball. The conditions are: I can do anything I want to try to win you and make you mine. You may also do whatever it is you believe will help you win. Got it?" She tapped your nose playfully; as serious as she was, she didn't think you even posed a threat to her plans.

"Got it." You said. You'd meet her the next night at a rather fancy restaurant. You had no doubt she would be pulling out all of the stops, but so would you.
