“Well then you must have injections. I will need to see her regularly and take blood samples. She must have complete rest tomorrow, then take it easy for a few days. From what she says is usual she should have stopped losing by Thursday,” the doctor said, preparing an injection.
After giving her the injection he asked if she had any pain and she told him, just a headache. Advising her to take painkillers the doctor took his leave, telling Kate to make an appointment before her next period.
Damien walked down the stairs with the doctor who turned to him and said “Damien, that is one beautiful sub you have this time. From what you have told me, the hard weekend she has had, plus what you expect from your subs, has exhausted her. She is quite petitely built, and although she has a lot of grit, you are very large and strong for her; take it easy for a while. However I can understand that it would be difficult for a man to keep his hands off her! When you get tired of her point her in my direction.”
“On your bike Steven, she’s too feisty for you,” Damien said shaking his hand. “Thanks for coming so promptly.”
“You’re welcome, see you soon I expect.” And Steven ran out to his car.
Damien went back up to Kate to find her fast asleep; smiling at her beautiful face, looking so young and innocent he quietly left her to sleep.
Chapter 17
When Kate stretched like a cat as Damien kissed her awake, his breath caught in his throat. God she looked so sexy!
“Hi” she murmured opening her eyes.
“Hi back at you. I’ve brought you a cup of tea.” he grinned.
Kate struggled to sit up “Thank you, that’s nice.”
“How are you feeling this morning?”
“Yes good thank you. I knew I was just tired.”
“You weren’t just tired, you were very anaemic; you don’t pass out from just being tired. That’s another order you’ve disobeyed, not looking after yourself properly.” Damien scowled at her.
“I thought I was, honestly, I’ve never fainted before, believe me, It frightened me.”
“And you’ll make sure it never happens again” her master directed. “Or you’ll have me to answer to.”
“Yes master.” Kate murmured, fluttering her eyelashes.
“Don’t be cheeky, I know that tone in your voice. You say ‘yes master’ and fully intend to do as you like. I’ve been far too soft with you, things are going to change.”
Kate hung her head and said nothing.
“Right, today you stay in bed. Mrs. Jones will look after you. I would stay but I must get on with the acquisition of that factory site. Behave yourself. You are building up a pile of disobediences as it is.”
“Yes master, I’m sorry, I do try to be good.”
“There you go again with your smart mouth.” Damien growled taking hold of her chin and giving her a grinding kiss.
As Kate responded it changed into a deep sensual kiss with their tongues duelling to explore each others mouth. Damien pulled away and shook his head “ Kate you could corrupt the pope, what you do to me!”
“I know what I’d like to do to you.” she said licking her lips.
“I’m going to be late, behave.” Damien left the room before she could say anything.
Kate drank her tea gratefully, she was still tired and eventually dozed off again; when she woke up again it was to hear Mrs. Jones saying “ Kate I’ve brought you some lunch. Mr. Masters left strict instructions that you must eat properly.”
Pulling herself up the bed Kate opened her eyes to see Mrs. Jones standing by the bed holding a tray.
“Hello, I don’t want to give you extra work. I could have come down, I’m not ill.” Kate demurred.
“Don’t you dare. Sounds to me as if you’re in enough trouble, without disobeying a direct order,” Mrs. Jones said as she placed the tray on the bed.
The tray held a delicious looking caesar salad, a glass of orange juice and a yoghurt.
“That looks delicious, thank you for doing this.” Kate said as she tucked in.
“Not at all, it’s my job. How are you feeling now dear?”
Kate sighed “Cross with myself. Damien won’t appreciate me being ill, he expects me to be strong.”
“It appears to me that you are very strong Kate. I know how tiring it is being a sub, and from what I’ve been told, you’ve had a heck of a week.”
“I must admit that the last few weeks have been very intense. Would you mind if I used your first name when it’s just us? It’s hard enough for me to remember to call Damien master, never mind calling you Mrs. Jones.”
“Of course Kate, my name is Rose. Now that we are on a first name basis, can I ask how you are coping as a sub. Especially Mr Master’s sub. I know he is a very hard task master and you seem to be quite a feisty lady.”
“When we are alone it’s the easiest, but when we are with other people I forget. You know him well from what he’s told me so you must know what he’s like.” Kate felt uncomfortable. not knowing how much to say.
“You are safe to say whatever you want to me, it will go no further. Let me tell you what I know first; Mr. Masters has a sadistic side, which my Patrick helped him to control. He is a born dom and a highly sexed man. Most of the subs he’s had in the past haven’t lasted long, he likes a woman to be submissive but gets bored once he has trained them. What he needs is a woman who is totally submissive to him, but with a good brain and a bit feisty with everyone else. Actually Kate you fit the bill perfectly,” Rose said grinning at her.
“You think how I am is what he needs?”
“I do, he cares more for you than anyone he’s ever known. No other sub has been in his home as much as you are. He actually sleeps with you, and he’s never slept with a sub before. He’s never involved a sub in his business, and he was so worried when you passed out last night.
“He’s asked me to move in with him. What do you think? I know he cares for me but could we live together? I’ve been independent for so long. I worry that I could ruin everything by living with him,” Kate sighed and picked at her salad.
“Have you fallen in love with him Kate?”
“No, I love him for the way he makes me feel, his generosity, sense of decency and the way he looks isn’t a hardship. But I’ve been around enough to know that isn’t falling in love; I don’t know if he can fall in love and I’m determined not to get hurt. What we have at the minute suits me fine.”
“Very sensible. I’m afraid I fell in love with Patrick and he broke my heart regularly. Dominants tend to do exactly what they want to do,” Rose said mysteriously.
Kate didn’t want to pry so she changed the subject “Damien bought me a car on Saturday, has it been delivered?”
“Oh it’s yours. A BMW four wheel drive. They put it in the garage with the other cars.”
“I didn’t want him to buy it, but he insisted,” Kate said shrugging her shoulders. “It was quite an afternoon. After he bought the car he took me to have two tattoos, a butterfly on my coccyx and a slave knot on my pube, and then I had my nipples pierced!”
“My god no wonder you were exhausted.”
“That’s not all. On Sunday we went to self defence in the morning, played polo in the afternoon, had a takeaway with friends, then he punished me for my naughtiness and then he shagged me stupid? Monday I worked all day with Hermione and Tony, rushed back to my flat and went bowling with friends. Turner picked me up and brought me here and I discovered that my period had started. I had thought that the discomfort in my breasts was from the piercing, but it was mostly because of the time of the month. Tuesday we were up early, Damien’s staff, especially one of them, didn’t like me being there, so I had to fight my corner all day. Now that I think about it it’s no wonder I conked out!” Kate laughed.
“Don’t y
ou lift a finger today. You’ve worn me out just telling me about it.” Rose said standing up.
“There is one thing I need to do. Have a shower and wash my hair.”
“Damien will know you’ve done that and he’ll be angry.” Rose warned her.
“We’ll tell a little lie. I lay in the bath to ease my aches and pains, and you washed my hair. Problem solved,” Kate grinned.
“We could do that and then we wouldn’t have to lie.”
“I couldn’t expect you to do that!”
“We’re friends, aren’t we? Eat your lunch and I’ll be back up soon,” Rose ordered as she left the bedroom.
Kate discovered that she was very hungry so she quickly cleared the tray then lying back on her pillows she thought over the day before; had she really spoken of her ideas to a council planning department? Would it be possible to make her ideas work? Maybe Damien would change his mind.
“Are you ready for your bath now Kate,” Rose asked as she entered the room.
“Oh, yes please, actually I need the loo so I’ll turn it on when I’m in there,” Kate said getting out of bed.
“I’ll just sort the bed out,” Rose started plumping the pillows.
Kate put lots of bath gel in and let the large tub fill up, then she slid into it and lay back with a sigh.
“Right, I’ve brought a large plastic jug up, so I can rinse your hair well. Oh I say, they’re beautiful, do they hurt?” Rose exclaimed spotting Kate’s nipple rings.
“They don’t hurt, and I think I’m healing well as I can move them, I’ve got to go and have them checked on Saturday. I couldn’t believe how big they were when I first saw them, or how much they must have cost, they’re platinum with emeralds and diamonds; I must admit I’m a bit worried about how they can be used,” Kate grimaced.
“Oh, you know what they were originally used for,” Rose exclaimed.
“Yes I do, Damien told me what they are for, because he said I enjoyed a punishment fuck too much!”
Rose burst out laughing, “I think I’m going to enjoy watching you tame him.”
“I don’t think that’s possible, and I don’t think I’d like him tamed.” Kate sighed and lay back to enjoy having her hair washed.
“You have the most beautiful colour hair, and it’s so thick and luxurious.”
“Thank you, sometimes it’s a pain, it can be very wild.”
“Compared to Damien’s other subs, you are so different. They were all pale and thin with straight blonde hair.”
Kate giggled, “Goodness he must have had a brainstorm. I hope he doesn’t come to his senses and decide I’m not the right Stepford wife for him!”
“No, I think that now he’s older he wants a proper woman. He probably feels strong enough to handle your feistiness now. Make sure he doesn’t change you.”
“There’s no danger of that, I’m quite bloody minded, and I’ve looked after myself for a long time. Maybe I’ll change him?” Kate burst out laughing.
“Don’t wish for that Kate.” Rose said seriously. “Doms never change.”
‘Mmm’ Kate thought ‘she was very badly hurt.’ But she said “I wouldn’t want to change him. I love him as he is.”
“Good, right that’s you rinsed. I’ll leave you to dry yourself. Would you like a cup of tea”
“That would be great, thank you,” Kate said as she got out of the bath, wrapping a towel around herself, then another around her hair.
Sitting on the loo she dried herself and then covered herself in body lotion, pleased that she was still fuzz free thanks to the treatments she’d had, so didn’t need waxing. Once her hair had been rubbed hard to get it as dry as possible, she dressed in tee shirt and sweatpants, and curling up against her pillows realised that she was still quite weak. Damien was right, she must take more care of herself, especially if she moved in with him. Rose appeared with a mug of tea and a plate of biscuits.
“I’ll get fat if you keep feeding me like this.”
“Living with a dom you burn up a lot of energy, you have to look after yourself. Exercise and good food is what you’ve got to have. Damien is twice the size of you and twice as strong.”
“I know, I’ve learned my lesson. I thought I was very fit, but after the last few weeks I realise I’m not. If I do move in it’ll be easier to exercise, with having a gym at home.”
“Are you coming round to the idea of moving in?”
“I think it makes sense. Well at least to give it a try,” Kate answered thoughtfully.
“ I’m pleased, it will be lovely to have you here.”
“What will be lovely?” Damien asked walking into the room.
“I was just saying how I’ve enjoyed Kate’s company today,” Rose replied sounding flustered.
“Mm, are you feeling better, Kate.”
“Yes master; Mrs. Jones has taken such care of me, feeding me delicious food and even helped me bathe and washed my hair,” Kate told him quietly.
“Good, I’ll just change and then I’ve work to do in my office.” Damien turned and headed into his room.
“Well dear, I’ll just go and sort dinner out, then I’m off home. Remember what we’ve talked about.” Rose smiled at Kate then hurried back to work.
Damien was quickly back in Kate’s room, his hair wet and wearing tee shirt and sweat pants. Kate smiled at him and he sat on the bed next to her.
“I’m pleased to see you’ve done as you were told,” he smiled picking up her hand and kissing her fingers.
“I’m sorry if I annoyed you, I’ve honestly never fainted before. Mrs. Jones has given me a lecture on exercise and good food,” she said seriously. “And I’ve promised I’ll do as she says.”
“So you’ll do as Mrs. Jones tells you, but disobey me,” Damien growled.
“I don’t mean to disobey you, but the last few weeks have been a bit intense. I’m not used to this life and thought I was fit which obviously I’m not. But I intend to be.”
“Good, I’d hate your butt to be permanently sore,” he growled again, “I’m afraid that I have work to do.”
“Can I sit with you please, I’m dying to know what’s happening,” Kate begged.
“Are you sure you feel ok?”
“Yes, honestly my period’s just about gone and I’m not tired any more.”
Getting off the bed Damien picked her up as if she was a child and when Kate went to argue swatted her bottom and growled “Don’t argue.”
As he carried her downstairs Kate nuzzled into his neck breathing in the scent of him.
“Stop it Katherine, you’re asking to be thoroughly fucked,” he said when she nibbled his ear lobe.
“I don’t mind if you don’t.”
“Behave you hussy, I’ve got work to do,” entering his office he laid her on the large chesterfield, “are you warm enough?”
“Yes thank you master,” Kate said curling up in the corner.
“I’ve got two phone calls I must make, then I’ll fill you in on what’s happened today.”
Listening to his one sided conversation Kate got the gist of it. He’d made the Cruikshanks an offer and they’d asked for time to discuss it. They’d tried all day to get him to raise his offer, but he had considered it a fair price considering the condition of their business. Now he was telling his people to turn the screw and make sure he got a satisfactory answer.
Listening to him Kate realised how high powered his business was. No wonder he got angry occasionally, and used sex to relieve his stress instead of drugs or alcohol. It wasn’t surprising that he needed complete control in his sex life.
Twiddling her hair round her finger Kate considered what it would be like to live with him permanently. She knew that she could make him feel better even if it was just allowing him to
punish her, as long as it wasn’t too often. She would discuss living with him when he was in one of his relaxed playful moods. Suddenly she realised that he had put the phone down and was sitting watching her with a slight smile on his face.
Shaking herself out of her reverie she smiled, “Have you finished your phone calls?”
“Yes, for the moment. Come here.”
Kate jumped up off the chesterfield and flew into his arms. Cuddling into him and pushing her hands under his tee shirt she sighed.
“That was a big sigh. What’s up Katherine?”
“I was worried you’d hate me for being weak?” she murmured.
“Master,” Damien said automatically. “You aren’t weak. Bloody minded, obstinate, loud mouthed, too bloody good at polo and self defence, but also, beautiful, loving, hard working and a mind blowing fuck! Oh, and you make me laugh.”
“So you want to keep me?”
“I want to keep you, fuck you, spank you, laugh with you and work with you.” Damien said grinning.
“Work with me?” Kate asked.
“Yes, I’ve decided that I want you on board with the woollen factory. You’re the one who has seen the potential, so you should see it through,” he said, then grabbed her as she flung her arms around his neck nearly strangling him.
Smothering his face with kisses Kate squealed “ Yes please, I’d love to see it through. Oh god I love it, love it.”
Cuddling her tightly to him, burying his face in her hair, he breathed in the essence of her, and the whisp of a thought wormed it’s way into his brain, ‘and I love you.’
Shaking his head at the absurdity of the thought he growled “I’m not an easy boss and you’ll be granted no favours.”
“Oh I know how hard you are master, and I wouldn’t want any favours. Well, apart from coming home with you, and sleeping with you, boss,” Kate burst out laughing at what she’d just said.
“That is one stipulation I will insist on in your contract. “Damien was laughing too.
“When can I start? Tomorrow?”
“No, I want you to be one hundred per cent when you start, so next Monday.”
