insert for ch14

Clo looked a little panicked, but kept a professional smile.  "Sergeant Douche was so pissed, I'm surprised he didn't come beat my ass with Gabe and Molly yesterday."

She blushed and reached back to rub her butt.  "He was too busy making my life awful, but I guess he still wants to talk to you at the get-together or whatever."

My eyebrows raised as I closed the laptop.  Most of what I'd set out to accomplish was finished, and some part of me felt connected with Clo, interested in the mysterious vibes she emitted.

"I'm not really sure how Toby managed to convince both Izaak and me to join this idea of his... does he do that?  Persuade people so easily?"

"Ha!  Yeah, if he didn't have a moral compass, he'd def be a con man.  What idea are you talking about?"

She blinked in confusion.  "He said that you and Gabe were on board...  God, it's going to be so awkward if I'm spanked in front of my boss.  I dunno how you do this..."  She caught herself before going off on a tangent, then explained to me the concept of community spankings.  

Part of me was turned on by the idea of having multiple spectators again.  Another part of me was humiliated that this plan was devised without my consent, and being under Gabe's protection meant that my consent really didn't matter.

"We need to form an early alliance.  Whatever we've done, no matter what it is, we'll always vote in each other's favor."  She held out her little finger.

I smiled, obliging her pinky swear.  She seemed so innocent... the devil on my shoulder couldn't shake the idea of corrupting her.  The fun we could have together... 

"How was your first day?  Do you need me to do anything for you?  What cases are you working on?"

"Getting back into my flow has been nice.  I have a whole stack of bullshit to do."

She tiptoed over to me and glanced through the folders.  "Anything interesting?"

"Oh, you have no idea...."

But I was cut off by Gabe swinging the conference room door open.  "I'm not paying you to sit around and chit chat," he said to us both, then shot me a mean glare.  "Have you not seen the time?  You're late."

"My bad... I was just..."

"My office.  Now!"  And then he turned to Clo.  "Miss Patterson, I'm not against telling your Dom about this poor behavior at work.  Straighten up or he will be notified.  Am I clear?"

She turned white as a ghost.  "Yessir," she said quickly, dodging out of the room.

Gabe turned back to me and his scowl was powerful enough to hurry me up.  I gathered the folders and scampered to his office.
