Part three in the tale of August and Mason during which the D/s aspect of their relationship intensifies and August really, really likes it. Since the first two installments were focused on Mason's boxing world, this one is more about August's as a legal professional, though there is a little bit of boxing fun at the end. As always, you don't need to read the other stories to enjoy this one, but it will be more enjoyable if you do. I didn't use the BDSM main classification because the BDSM content is, in my opinion, pretty mild in the grand scheme of things. Full disclosure: this one is also full of romantic feelings and I will not apologize for it. The more I fall in love with the two of them, the sappier my writing seems to get. It is also quite long, but most of it is sex, so you're welcome.

Some days I have no idea why I became a lawyer. Maybe because I wanted to prove to everyone in the neighborhood that I could, or prove to my dad that I was actually as smart as he thought I was, or maybe at some point in undergrad I lost my mind and just decided to just go with any fucking insane idea that popped in my head, like attending law school. In any case, that was where I ended up, a certified jock in a desk job. I, of course, indulged my true love of boxing and kickboxing during my free time. But some days, really bad days, I would sit at my desk, stare out the window at the river, and wish I had done anything with my life besides go to law school.
I was having one such day, an absolutely awful Wednesday, when everything suddenly took a turn for the awesome. And what followed was an evening that broadened my definition of pleasure.
Just after one in the afternoon, my secretary Annalise caught up with me in the office kitchen as I was coming back from lunch and making myself a cup of life-giving tea. "August, there you are. Mike was looking for you."
I rolled my eyes openly. "Of course he was. This day just keeps getting better and better. Ever since he blew the Henderson appeal he won't so much as file a Notice of Appearance until I check it for him."
"That's what you get for being the best." We walked down the hall together toward my office and she passed me a manila file folder. "The James' Motion for Summary Judgment that you had Will do. But if I were you -"
"Jesus, what the?"
"Yeah, I was gonna say, I took a look at it, pretty terrible. You're gonna wanna go through it with a fine-tooth comb."
"This is like first-year intern level garbage. Freaking...ugh. There goes my afternoon."
Annalise snatched the file back from me. "Tell you what, I'll go through it first and fix all the grammar, spelling, and formatting errors. Then you can just worry about content, deal?"
I sighed and gave her a one-armed hug when we reached her desk. "You are a goddess."
She waved me off. "Yeah, yeah. Just remember that in a two weeks when my review is up." I gave her a wink and started toward my door before she spoke again. "Oh, shoot, sorry. There's also some guy in your office."
I turned around. "Some guy? What guy?"
"He didn't want to give me his name, said he was a friend. Tall, muscular, tattoos on his arms, blond hair, lovely green eyes, looked like a boxer, so maybe someone from your gym?" Annalise shrugged and I hid a smile. I knew exactly who it was. "It's ok that I put him in there? He was pretty insistent that he not wait out here."
"That's perfectly fine, Annalise. Can you, uh, hold all my calls for about an hour. And if anyone stops by, tell them I'm in with a client, ok?"
She flashed me a knowing smile. "You got it, boss."
I opened my door and just as I expected, my darling heavyweight Mason was playing on his phone while sitting in one of my visitors' chairs. He looked over at the sound of the door and smiled wide before standing to survey me.
I shut the door behind me and said, "I asked you to keep our relationship private at the gym, not in front of my co-workers. It doesn't matter if they know."
"I know, but I've grown to enjoy subterfuge, makes me feel all clandestine, or something." I walked over and greeted him with a kiss. "Damn, baby girl, is this how you always dress for work?" As he kissed me deeper, his arms wrapped around to grab my ass and pull my body flush against his. I was wearing a black pencil skirt, shiny black heels, and a billowy yellow top, and Mason groped every inch of me he could reach.
"Sure is. You like?" He pulled his face away from mine to look me up and down again.
"Oh, yeah. I like all this. Makes me wanna sit in your big, fancy chair and have you on your knees in front of me." He reared back and smacked my ass hard for emphasis.
Even though my pussy pulsated at the thought of groveling before him, I gave his chest a stiff jab and he quickly released me. "I know your schedule is pretty wide open until your next fight, but did you really have nothing better to do than come and harass me at work?" I circled around my desk and plopped down in my big, fancy chair.
Mason resumed his seat and also his verbal molestation. "Oh, mama, I haven't even begun to harass you. And when I start, you'll know it. Those creamy thighs'll be wide open and my cock'll be buried in that sweet pussy you got hidden under that tight ass skirt."
His grin was childish, but his eyes were focused and earnest. I fought the urge to smile but failed. "You're a fool. And you should've called, we could've gone to lunch." He just shrugged; I continued, "So, what's up?"
He shifted slightly and cleared his throat like he had something to say but wasn't sure how to begin. I just waited. Finally he said, "Wanted to ask you something. In person."
"Ok...?"
"How much notice do you need to take off work, for say a week?"
"Two weeks, normally. But this place has been in shambles since one of the senior partners died, so right now, probably a month. Why?" I took a sip of my tea, wondering what he was up to.
He got up and came around my desk to lean against it in front of me. "I wanna take you away somewhere, baby girl. Lay on a beach, get drunk everyday, and fuck you for about a week straight."
I couldn't have stifled that laugh if you had paid me a million bucks. "Yeah? Where did you have in mind?"
"Anywhere in the world you want. My treat."
"Mason, I -"
"I know, I know you make good money and you've got an independent streak a mile wide. But after that fight on HBO I've got the cash and a lot of interest for more fights." He grabbed both my hands. "That win was huge for me, August, and I know it's gonna be the difference I needed to start a run for the title."
"Trust me, I understand better than most how important that was, babe. And I am so, so proud of you. That's why you should let me treat you."
His eyes were hooded as he looked down at me and bit his lip. "You already do, several times a day."
He pulled me up and kissed me like he wanted to take me right there at my desk. And, Lord help me, I was about to let him. That's when I heard muffled shouting outside my office and with Mason's arms still around me, Mike burst into my office.
"Oh, sorry, August. I didn't realize you had someone in here."
Annalise now poked her head in the door looking exasperated. "That's why I said the words 'she has someone in there' to you, Mike. Several times."
