"I love the new haircut," he said.
She smiled. She was pretty pleased with it, herself.
"So tell, me, what do you like best about it?" They flirted on and off, and she wasn't above fishing for some more ego boosting.
"Well, it's short, but not too short. You know that guys like blondes, of course. And it's just nicely styled." She nearly rolled her eyes at this last statement. Her hair was more wavy than curly, but at this length, she really had to put some effort into those curls. Guys.
"So are you saying you didn't like me when my hair was brown?" She pouted at him, just a touch.
He blushed. "Oh, no. It's just that when a woman can pull off a color like that, it's just great to look at."
"And what about it being short? I thought guys all hate that?"
"Oh, no. I'm not a fan of buzz cuts, but your cut is short and feminine. And short hair means easy access to the neck." He blushed slightly again.
"That's one of the things I like about it. When I had long hair, guys could kiss me on the side of my neck, but the nape was basically unreachable, and that's my favorite spot to get kissed."
"I didn't realize you like that. Doesn't that mean always getting kissed from behind? How does that work with your. . ." he trailed off. He was blushing harder.
"With my domme proclivities?" She arched an eyebrow at him and he nodded. She realized, in retrospect, that this had stopped being about fishing for compliments, or even casual flirting, as soon as he mentioned his interest in necks. He'd known about her interests for a while, and she knew that he found it a lot more interesting than he'd ever admitted, possibly even to himself.
She closed the office door, turning the lock as she did so. "Do you really think it's not possible to be in charge while someone's behind you?"
"Um, well, I just hadn't thought about it." He had clearly knew he'd lost control at some point, but couldn't figure out how.
While he stammered, she reached into the pocket of the jacket she'd hung on the back of her door. Her hair might be short now, but she still had the ribbon she'd always carried for tying her hair up or back.
