Country Boy, City Man

Chapter 6

Lukas was all business as he sat in on the meeting with the man Carson wasmeeting Carson was stone cold, no feelings as he made a deal with the man,Harris was just lost, his eyes darting between Carson and the man sittingacross from him. When the man left Lukas grinned widely and kicked his feet upon the conference table.

"Andre is coming to pick me up for lunch" He told Carson, who wasshowing Harris what the papers he went over meant.

"You two should come over for dinner" Carson said not looking ofhis friend of 22 years.

"Yeah, Harris, you want to come?" Lukas suggested, tilting hishead to the left.

"I feel like I should be invited by sir if I were to be invited, as ithis house and all" Harris commented and Carson smiled.

"You should come, bring a little fun into the same old boring dinnerwith my friends"

"Wow, way to hurt a guy" Lukas faked hurt and repeated the wordsCarson had said earlier.

"God, when you and Andre are in makeup mode I'm hella third wheel"Carson said.

"you've been spending too much time with Angel" Lukas remarked.

"What do you mean?" Carson looked at his friend in confusion.

"You just said hella as a 36-year-old man,” Lukas deadpanned

"s**t, did I?" Carson looked to Harris who blushed and nodded,"indeed you did sir"

"I like his manners, you should pass him to Nick,” Lukas changed thesubject abruptly to a man Harris has yet to hear about.

"No way in hell am I throwing my poor little intern into the hungryarms of Nick,” Carson brushed off the comment as he marked the papers that weresigned by date and paper clipped them into a pile. He then slid the stack overto Harrison to put in the appropriate place.

"Who is Nick?" Harris asked, once again completely lost.

"We have a friend who's looking for a new sub, his last one didn't endwell" Lukas trailed off.

"Well I always hated Ollie, he was too much of a prude for Nick,”Carson interrupted, losing his professional façade and reverting to his naturalpersonality.

"That's why you should pass Harris onto him,” Lukas rose a brow, gagingCarson’s reactions to suggestions of his intern playing around with other men.

"Pardon me sir, I'm not gay nor do I wish to be a ...sub?"Harrison spoke up, but his voice trailed off at the end as he was unsure whathe was even objecting to.

"Awe he doesn't even know what a sub is!" Lukas clapped hishands" he's so cute!"

"Lukas,” Carson sent a low glare to his friend, “Andre is here to getyou, I will call you later" Carson shooed Lukas out of the room. Lukaskissed the black-haired man on the lips and they walked out together.

"12 years they've been like that, I've just been a floater,” Carsonlooked at his two friends fondly and longingly. He was a man who loved to be inlove, he liked the dates and cute little gestures. Sadness settled down intohis bones and he plopped down in his chair, letting out a deep sigh.

"Why don't you settle down, get asub?" Harrison suggested but he had no idea what he was talking about,all he knew is that his boss looked sad and that that is bad for business.

"You really don't know what that is?" Carson looked at Harrisonwith curious eyes.

"I come from a small town" Harris reminded Carson.

"Okay, I'll walk you through it" Carson sat down, "A sub orsubmissive is part of a b**m relationship where he/she is completely under theirmaster's control, they follow orders nicely, they are completely submissive,they let their Dom take control of every aspect of their lives, money, job,everything. Now that doesn’t mean they are powerless or a door mat or anything,they have most of the power and say in the relationship. There are differentlevels to it. We don’t have time to complete a crash course on kink"

"Are you a Dom?" Harrison asked, not knowing if he really wantedan answer.

"Not really, of course I naturally have a more dominate personality, sohaving a partner that is somewhat submissive is nice, but the completelifestyle is too much for me," he waved his hand is dismissal.

Harris just looked at his boss, his boss's big hands, big strong nimblehands, his boss' fiery red hair, emerald green eyes and shining smile. Therewas something magnetic about Carson, it might just be the confidence he walkedwith. Harrison saw a man that had everything, money, power, control. Now,Harrison couldn’t tell if he wanted to be Carson or something else, somethingmore confusing.

"Are you now thinking about being a sub?" Carson questioned.

"I'm used to being controlled, having most aspects of my life being ina plan someone else had made, it's not an issue of being controlled, it's all Ireally know but I am a man after all, I need freedom, I came here to get it,”Harrison rambled, words falling out from his lips without control.

"I have respect for you, you know" Carson leaned forward andrested his chin on the back of his hand and looking Harrison in the eyes,"you're so innocent, so untouched, if I had my way I'd make you so coldthat you wouldn't think twice about shooting a company down"

"You aren't cold hearted sir" Harris mentioned.

"Cute, talk to Felix he'd tell you the opposite,” Carson slumped backagain, any mention of Felix and his energy was just gone.

"I have no interest in speaking with any man who brought you pain"

Carson looked his intern up and down, sizing him up, Carson was sure thatHarris could take him down if he wanted to, but he hadn't said a singledisrespectful thing after a month or so being together.

"So, are you coming to dinner tonight?" Carson asked.

"If you wish me to" Harris said.

"I do, it'd be nice to see you outside of a work setting"

Carson didn't even think about the time he got drunk in front of Harris orthe time Harris kissed him. They were friends, it was natural to have someconfusing moments, but Carson didn’t let it bother him or deter him fromgetting to know his intern on a more personal level.

"Yeah" Harris said, and they looked at the clock, "we havework to do sir"

"Yeah, I guess we do, god I need a vacation"

"I should you take you back to Kansas" Harris teased, "showyou what real work is, city boy" Harris mocked and stood walking out ofthe room leaving Carson in a pleasured shock, oh this Country boy was SOOO goingto get it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harrison knocked on his boss door, the old indie music was turned down andCarson opened the door in a white V-neck and worn out jean shorts, he handedHarris a smile and Harrison suddenly felt much overdressed in his grey t-shirtand blazer along with jeans.

"You look nice, feel bad you dressed so nicely, the rest of us looklike slobs" Carson laughed awkwardly, unaware of him telling his intern helooked good was bad or not.

"Is that him? Stop hiding him!" That was Lukas yelling frominside.

"God, can I not have conversation!" Carson snapped back, and Lukassmirked, he knew that Carson was so whipped already, if he was willing to sendLukas home for Harrison's comfort then he was in love.

Carson let Harris in and Harris noticed the array of stunning men sprawledout across the two leather couches, Lukas was fit in a Yankees jersey and blackjeans, Andre was clad in workout pants and a penny, his arms were slung behindthe couch and around Lukas, who was leaning into him, the man Harris had neverseen was stunning, a real Adonis, tan skin, ash brown hair and deep brown eyes,stunning, he caught Harry's attention immediately.

He was wearing a white tank top and a red flannel with some light washripped jeans and work boots.

"That's Nick" Carson pointed out, Harrison began to understand whypeople would surrender their everything to the man.

"I've heard a lot about you, Harrison" Nick smiled his voice wasalmost orgasmic, it was soft and velvety but deep and strong, he was used totelling people what to do.

"Wish I could say the same sir, it's a pleasure to meet you"Harrison held a hand out and Nick shook it firmly, his warmth devouring butwelcoming at the same time.

"Turn down the heat boys, I came here for dinner not a show" Lukassnickered, and Carson smacked him upside the head.

"Let them make friends, d**k face,” Carson scolded.

"You want to put your d**k in my face" Lukas teased, and Andrerolled his eyes.

Nick summoned Harrison to sit next to him and Harrison followed orders justlike that, like a good little puppy, Nick already knew his plan for Harrison,but he felt more strongly than he had ever felt about a possible sub, he feltmore drawn to him.

"So where are you from Harris, that accent is not from aroundhere" Nick asked politely and Harris noticed the soft English accent andswooned.

"Kansas,” Harris almost forgot how to speak. He thought Carson was confidant,but Nick took it to a whole new level. This man had the power to get anyone todo anything for him. He was beyond charming and his height and stature added tothe intimidating factor. Harrison didn’t know how to act; this feeling was new.Different. Different then then he felt with Carson, different from his long-timegirlfriend, different from the girls he flirted with to get through certainclasses. It was all so new.

"You like it there?" Nick asked, making a move to scoot slightlycloser to Harris on the couch. Nick could see Carson watching him with narrowedeyes from the other side of the room. Nick loved his friend but wasn’t afraidof pissing him off a little to get something he really wanted. And right now,all he wanted was to wrap Harrison around his finger.

"Why do you think I'm here?" Harrison smiled, and Nick grinnedback.

"I like you" Nick chuckled and sipped on a glass of red wine andwhen he noticed Harrison stare he smiled, "want some?"

"I've never had wine" Harrison admitted.

"you poor child, here" Nick had unknowingly swung his arms aroundthe back of the couch and scooted closer to Harris he brought his glass up toHarrison's lips and let the boy drink the wine, Harris hummed at the sweettaste and smell when the glass was pulled away but still within his reach,"You and I should go out sometime, yeah?"

"Sounds nice" Harris said, not knowing he had just said yes to adate with one of the most gorgeous men in Portland.

Hands ghosted up Harrison sides, he lay on his back in nothing but a pair ofblack lace panties, his face flushed as he looked at the hands and thewell-built naked chest before him.

"Stop teasing"

"This is what is so good about s*x, just let it take over and controlyou, don't think too much about it, okay Harrison?" the man kissed himdeeply and Harris nodded.

"Yes Sir" he looked into the emerald green eyes he'd seen so manytimes but never like this.

"Let it absorb you kitten"

Harris woke with a gasp and looked around, Carson was to his side, passedout, Nick was leaned up on the couch at Carson's feet, they had all gottendrunk and that was all Harrison remembered, wait, oh f**k, he'd just had a wetdream about his boss, who's a man.
