Where are you supposed to meet your mate? (If not at work?)

Work is where you build your life. You meet your mate where you live. Not where compliance manuals say it is safe.

How I handle him after climax.

I don’t bring him to orgasm. That’s his work. My work begins after his climax. I place him, I imprint him, I seal the signal.
