A change in plans

“That was way better than the book, Mr. P.” It is a few minutes later and we are lying together on her rumpled bedding. “When I first read the scene where the boss has her pinned against the desk in his office, I thought he was going to take her just like that.” She shook her head gently. “When they were interrupted by that client I wanted to scream.”

“Yeah, that's pretty typical for these romances, 'all flash and no bang' as my friend Walter would say.” She smiles wryly and nods.

“Then I found the scene in her book where they finally do it.” Her fingers trail through my greying chest hairs as she tries to unpack her thoughts. “By then though it was pretty clear they had a thing going for each other, the first time in his office when he had her pinned to the desk was hotter, because she was powerless, and he was just taking her for his own pleasure.” I am starting to realize that I should have gone with my initial plan.

“Wait here, Angel.” I pat her bare leg softly before climbing to my feet. “I think I have something you might like better.” Five minutes later I return to her bedroom with three books from the stash hidden in my basement. I chose three of my favorites, a Sparrowhawk space opera, a book from the Gor series and one of Alice Sinclair's series set in a prehistory of Earth.

Alison is waiting for me a little anxiously, but when sees the three books in my hand she shakes her head and smiles coyly. I see the excitement in my young tenant's eyes, and she licks her lips in anticipation as she reads the excerpts in the first few pages of each book.

“Are these a little bit more like some of your fantasies?” Alison looks up when she hears me and nods shyly, her eyes sparkling as she flips through the books. “I skip over the whipping parts, they get pretty brutal sometimes,” I warn her, “but other than that I think you're going to like these better than the Harlequins.”

“These books are yours, Mr. P?” I nod with a wry grin and Alison grins back shyly. “Well, I guess we know what a man like you would want from a sweet innocent captive like me, then, don't we.”
