Page 27 of On His Terms
“I apologize.” With her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she kissed his cheek.
“How does it feel to have skipped undergarments?”
“Strange,” she admitted. “Unnatural.”
“Aware of your submission?”
“I suppose you could say that, Sir. It’s uncomfortable.”
“Good. Be glad you’re not going to be sitting on a massive butt plug or filled with a dildo.” He tipped his head to the side. “This time.”
Her mouth opened momentarily before she snapped it shut.
“Please,” he said, indicating she should precede him. When she did, he placed his fingers against the small of her back. “Stand up straighter. Pull your shoulders back so your breasts stick out. Tonight, you’re mine. I’m proud of you, and I want you to own the fact you’re pleasing me.” Though she sucked in a sharp breath, she complied. “Reservations for Monahan,” he told the hostess.
After they were seated, with menus in hand, he asked Chelsea, “Any preference?”
She looked at the entrées. “Probably just a salad. With sirloin. Maybe some wine.”
“How do you like your steak cooked?”
Over the top of the menu, she scowled at him.
“I’ll be ordering your food,” he told her.
“I’m capable of doing that myself.”
“Of course you are, but this is about your willingness to allow me to handle the details.”
She put down the menu.
“A good Dom always takes his sub’s desires into account. A good sub in turn trusts he will make good decisions on her behalf. If you have any preferences, now is a good time to express them.”
“I’m not sure I like this dynamic,” she admitted.
“Over the next two weeks, there will be plenty of things you won’t like. You have a choice to deal with it or end your training. Your safe word will be honored.”
She drummed her fingers on the table.
“This isn’t as easy as you’d anticipated, is it?”
The waiter stopped by, and Alex refused wine, and instead ordered them each a glass of sparkling water. She set her chin mutinously but said nothing.
“You may find my dominance irritating. Or you could decide it’s nice to have someone take care of you for a change. It can be a struggle, or not. But understand this, bad behavior will be corrected and perhaps punished. So, Chelsea, shall we proceed as submissive and trainer, or would you like to have dinner as friends?”
“Do you expect me to address you as Sir, even in public?”
“When we are out as a Dom and sub, yes. If we were at a business event, that would be discussed and rules agreed to beforehand.”
She was silent for so long he wasn’t sure if she was going to answer. Finally, she said, “In that case, I prefer my steak medium-rare, Sir.”
He nodded. “Now sit up straight. I don’t want to tell you again.”
“As I mentioned, not wearing a bra is uncomfortable.”
“Be that as it may. I like to see your nipples. And visualizing them with clamps on.”
“I’m not sure I’ve recovered from last weekend.”
