I can't do this!

I don't even know what the job is!

Why did I agree to this?

"Are you Mackenzie Freeman?" The lady at the front desk asks me as I panic two steps inside the office building.

"Thats me." I whisper. I may have a temper and the tendency to yell at people but am actually quite shy.

"Mr. Adler will be down shortly." She smiles at me and I nod.

Less than a minute later a large man steps out of the elevator, looks around the room, sees me, and begins walking my way.

"You must be Mackenzie... My brother wasn't exaggerating for once." He says looking me up and down.

"What exactly did he say?" I ask looking anywhere but his face. "I can only be at lunch for so long." He says taking my hand and leading me to a car where he sets me in the back seat putting the belt on for me. I blush at the care he is giving me.

"Thank you." I whisper as he closes my door and walks around to the drivers door.

"So where do you want to eat?" He asks clicking his own safety belt into place.

"Anywhere is fine with me... I haven't been in town long. I don't know whats good around here." I tell him and he nods putting the car in drive. Before long we are parked at a restaurant. Mr. Adler jumps out before I can blink and comes around the car to help me out.

"Thank you, sir." I say as he leads me into the building.

"Reservation for Adler." He tells the hostess who quickly leads us to a table.

"How do you have a reservation?" I asked. What if I chose somewhere else to eat? He just smirks down at me.

"I have my ways." Is all he says before leading me to follow the hostess.

"So how long have you lived here?" Mr. Adler asks as I look at the menu. He watches me not even opening his.

"A month or so... Its been hard getting a job here so thank you for the opportunity, sir." I respond.

"Please my name is Landon. My brother mentioned your employment troubles. What do you know about my company?" He asks and I blush.

"Well... I actually..... I have no idea what your company does." I confess looking at the table.

"Its okay little one." He chuckles. "We work with nature preservation foundations world wide. We set up fund raisers and help write propositions to preserve wildlife. We have many donors... It also helps my people, who live on many of these preserves. They care for these places and insure they remain mostly untouched by man. Humans tend to wreak all they touch." He growls and my jaw drops. How did I not sense it before? "Sorry I'm rambling I get passionate about my work and my people."

Wolves.

I'd guess he is a powerful one too.

"That sounds like a noble calling." I tell him.

Can I work for a wolf? What if he finds out what I am? Will he tell the vampires about me? They would kill me!

I feel myself begin to panic.

"Hush little one." He says breaking me from my thoughts as he takes my hand. "Take a breath for me Kenzie... Thats it... Now whats the problem?"

"Sorry." I mumble.

"Don't be sorry little one. Just tell me, whats with the tears?" He rubs a thumb on the back of my hand to calm me. Am I crying?

"I... I was just thinking about something... Something that has no place in a job interview. I apologize for my outburst." I respond composing myself. "I would love to work for your company. What would the job entail?"

"You would be my secretary. Handle my schedule and help me be able to do my job... I have to ask. Do you know anything about BDSM?" His question throws me for a loop. What does this have to do with a job?

"I've heard of it... Why are you asking me about this?" I say uncomfortable with this line of questioning.

"My company employs many people in the lifestyle. An outsider wouldn't notice but you will be closely working with my people. You need to understand the Dom sub dynamic. I make a point to hire partners. Makes my life easier than when a dom has to leave because their sub needs them or having a sub break down or act out and having to call their Dom... If we're in the same building it saves me a hassle." He says then looks me over. "That and you are the dictionary definition of a little. I'm just not sure you've realized that yet."

"Little?" I ask. I've never considered being a part of any of this. Something tells me it is a wolf thing all the dominance and submission sounds very wolflike.

"A little is the submissive part of a ddlg or less gender specific cgl relationship. They have many mannerisms and thought processes that resemble that of a child... Innocent... The dominant in turn takes a nurturing role." He explains.

"Is this because I'm short?" I huff crossing my arms and he chuckles.

"Your height makes you adorable but you don't necessarily have to be short to be a little. It's a mindset. The little temper tantrum you are on the verge of right now is a better indication. Your nervousness in talking to new people, your near panic attack, those both point to little. You avoiding eye contact and calling me sir reinforce the fact that you are, at the very least, a submissive. I'm not trying to push anything on you but working with me you may begin to slip and I don't want you to panic when that happens." He explains and I blush. The way he lays it all out makes me sound pathetic.

"I'm sorry you saw all that... I promise to be more professional in the future." I say and he sighs.

"You aren't really listening to me little one. I'm not upset by your actions. I would like to help you learn more about it. I just wanted to talk to you now before you are working and get overwhelmed which can cause you to slip. I want you to understand ahead of time so you aren't afraid." Slip? That's the second tome he's said that. What is it?

"What do you mean slip?" I ask and he smiles.

"A very good question. When a little enters their younger mindset it is called slipping." He explains.

"And why would working with you cause me to do that?" I question.

"Well stress for one... And for two you are a little. You will respond most to a certain type of Dom and therefore have a high chance of slipping while working with me." He tells me.

"And what kind of Dom are you?" I ask. He never said what the Dom in this... Ddg? Relationship is called.

"Well little one, I'm a Daddy."
