Dear Author,
Sometimes the boss is in charge and sometimes he’s not… and sometimes he just can’t hold himself back any longer. There’s nothing like a man who can both give and take orders.
…. and all the rest is up to you.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group’s Hot Summer Days event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

My Review

Geoffrey always invents new problems in his office just to sneak a peek at Cole McCarthy, the chief maintenance engineer of the building.

“I have a problem.”
“And no one can fix it but me?” the sexy voice on the other line surmised.
Damn, it was that sarcasm again. What he wouldn’t give to fuck it right out of him.
“The light-bulb directly above my desk is burnt out. I want it fixed immediately. I have an important conference call at four o’clock which I need to prepare for. While you and your men wander around the building pretending to look busy, the rest of us are working our asses off, you know. I don’t have time for this kind of incompetence.”

But Cole doesn’t take being ordered around too well, or Geoffrey’s arrogant, disrespectful manner.

“You know what I think I outta do?”
“What?” Dammit, his voice squeaked. He cleared his throat. “File a complaint with the building owner?”
A wicked smile flashed across Cole’s face, his next words laden with sarcastic taunt. “I don’t think so, Mr. Winters. I like to fix things myself.

Changing the light-bulb takes only minutes for Cole, so does changing Geoffrey’s tone toward him.
With a surprising turn of events, things get quickly out of Geoffrey’s control.

“Look what I found. Anal beads?” Cole choked on a laugh and held up the string. “Butt plugs? A vibrator? When you said you worked your ass off I didn’t know this was what you meant. That you were up here having fun while I sweat my dick off on the rooftop keeping your air conditioning running so you can be cool and comfy while you stick this”— he held a big butt plug in front of his face— “up your ass.”

Yeah, it’s porn, but the good kind, you know, total smut with feelings.
