Mastered by the CEO

By Opal Carew

This book won the prestigious National Readers' Choice Award.

From New York Times Bestselling Author Opal Carew comes another sizzling BDSM erotic romance in the Mastered By series.

Rachel Clark

How did I wind up in King’s bed as his sex slave? Being totally dominated by him?

It all started when King bought the company I work for. The last time I was out of work—after handing King my resignation--it took two years before I found another position and I’m desperate to avoid that situation again. So now I’ll do whatever I can to keep my job.

But, in fact, even with me submitting to his every whim, there’s no guarantee.

King says I’m difficult and never do what I’m told—which is true—so is this simply penance for past sins? Or if I prove I'll follow his commands without question, will he keep me on?

I don’t know. And frankly, I don’t care. When I’m in his arms, all I care about is staying there.

Forever.

But that’s not an option.

James “King” Taylor

When I bought Bernier Electronics, I didn’t know Rachel was one of the junior executives. With our history, there’s no way I can keep her on. I need executives who will do as I say, not constantly question my every move.

I’d like to say it’s a difficult decision, but it’s not. Our past has proven she won’t fit in my management team.

But it’s never simple. When she worked for me five years ago, we had a clandestine affair. She insisted on keeping it strictly sexual, but I wanted so much more. When she left, I was devastated. Clearly, it meant more to me than it did to her.

The truth is I still want her in my bed. But I won’t hire her just for the sex.

She insists she can change, that she’ll do exactly as she’s told, but I know that’ll never work. Still, offering her the chance to prove herself—by becoming my submissive for an entire weekend—will prove to her it'll never work. I never dominated her when we were together before, and the mere thought has me rock-hard.

I just hope I can handle losing her again after I experience the sweetness of her submission.

Sample quotes from Mastered by the CEO:

“I’m more than just the man who bought your company. You and I have history.”

“You never do as you’re told. You always make everything so difficult.”

“What if I promised I would do exactly what you tell me. Without question.” She locked gazes with him. “Every time.”

“I’ll do anything to prove to you that I can follow your orders.”

“Stop fighting me. You know you’ll lose.”

“Another word and I’ll put you in the bedroom and lock the door.”
She frowned. “That would be kidnapping.”
He chuckled. “I doubt you’d make the charge stick.”

“Please, I’ll do anything you want to keep my job.”

“What I’m proposing is that you become my sex slave for a weekend. You’ll do everything I tell you without hesitation.”

“Rise and shine, sleepy slave. It’s time for you to serve me again.”

“King.” She smiled. “I was dreaming about you. It was a very hot dream.”

Rachel hurried off the elevator toward her office, her heart pounding. God, this was the worst possible day to be late.

Jay, her assistant, stood up as she approached, his eyes widening.

There’s blood on your forehead, he said.

She pressed her fingers to her aching head then stared at the red smear on them, still hurrying toward her desk. He followed her into her office and handed her a tissue as she pulled her compact from her purse. The nasty cut on her head still oozed blood. She pressed the tissue to it as she strode to her private bathroom and wet a washcloth. Jay stood in the door as she patted the cut.

He shook his head. I get why you feel you need to be here, but you should have that looked at. You could have a concussion.

It was just a fender bender. Unfortunately, I had to stay until the police arrived to write up the insurance report.

The other guy had insisted it was her fault, but once the police arrived, their report clearly stated the fault was his. In fact, they’d hauled him off to the station after administering a breathalyzer and determining he was inebriated.

Who the hell was drunk at eight in the morning?

But that was just the kind of luck she’d been having lately. On the one day she simply could not be late…she was. And no one would believe she was hit by a drunk driver on the way into work.

How bad is it? she asked as Jay applied a band aid to her forehead.

She didn’t mean the cut on her head and he knew it.

Bad.

You know I would have told you if I could, but they just let senior staff know last night.

It had been after nine when she and the other senior staff of Brenier Electronics had been informed that they were being taken over by Collier Industries. She was supposed to be here by eight o’clock for a meeting of senior staff to find out details before the rest of the staff was informed. Probably to find out how many staff had to be let go, and who they would be.

She’d missed that meeting.

At nine-thirty, Jay had texted her to tell her the staff had been informed and did she know what the hell was going on.

Do you know who they’re firing? he asked.

Oh, God, she knew Jay was worried about his job. He and his wife, Sandy, were struggling. Sandy had been laid off six months ago and wasn’t having any luck finding something and they’d just found out they were expecting a second baby. They had a mortgage and car payments, and if Jay lost his job, Rachel knew they’d probably wind up selling the lovely house they’d just settled into so happily.

Life sucked.

She rested her hand on his arm. I don’t. But I promise you, I’ll do everything I can to make sure they keep you on.

He nodded. I know you will.

Jay had been her assistant for over three years and they had become close. And he was excellent at his job. He often knew what she needed before she did, and he was exceptional at handling details. She knew her projects went off without a hitch largely because he ensured everything ran so smoothly all she had to worry about was the big picture.

She grabbed her journal. I better get up to Mr. Baird’s office and explain, she said as she started toward the door.

No point. All the executives left the building for an off-site meeting. So we were told. Currently, you’re the highest ranking executive here.

Ah, damn.

Okay, so call his cell phone and—

Already tried, Jay said. He’s not answering. Nor is the vice-president or any of the directors. I tried everyone.

Text?

"I’ve texted Mr.
