“You're supposed to express gratitude when you're given a compliment,” I say.
“I’m sorry, Sir. Thank you, Sir,” she says, her breaths rapid and heavy. She's a quick learner, and she's responsive to my dominance.
“Good,” I say. “Next time I see you, you’d better remember the rules.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Or else I’ll have to punish you.”
Her breath catches, and I would've heard a soft gasp from her, if the music didn't drown it out. God, what I wouldn't give to steal her away to my palace, where I can hear every delicious little noise she makes…
“You may leave now,” I say, dismissing her.
She almost glances up at me again, surprised the encounter is over—and at least a little disappointed. She catches herself in time and says, “Thank you, Sir,” before she walks away.
Too bad I have to let her go for now. But her reaction has just confirmed that taking it slow would be the best strategy.
Keep her on her toes, and keep her guessing. She's already wondering what I’m doing, why I'm sending her away after giving her a heady taste of what it means to submit.
I’ve already gotten into her head.
Yes, this one will take some time to get ready, but it’ll be worth it.
I’ll find her again, even if it means I'll have to leave the palace on my own more often, even if it means I’ll risk getting caught.
End of preview.
