Tantalize her with so many of the toys I’ve learned to wield with such efficiency. The toys through which I feel everything that she feels.

“Jack?”

“I think we’re done for tonight, Mandy.”

Her beautiful mouth turns down into a frown.

“This is new to you,” I say. “Very new to you. I can’t take the chance of frightening you.”

“You gave me a safe word.”

“I did.”

The problem is that I’m not sure Mandy needs a safe word. I thinkImay need one, and I’m exercising it now. If we continue, I may go too far, and Mandy is too inexperienced to know when she’s had enough.

It’s up to me. I have to make that decision for her. That’s what a good Dom does.

“So…” she prompts.

“Enough for tonight.”

“Jack…”

“It’ssir,” I say with authority. “In the club, you will call me sir. And I decide when we’ve had enough.”

She bites her bottom lip, and oh…that blush.

Then she drops to her knees, her wrists still bound.

“I understand, sir.” She meets my gaze.

Normally, I would punish a submissive who meets my gaze without permission.

But Mandy? It only makes me want her more.

I pull her up to face me, remove the cuffs from her wrists. Then I massage her wrists gently. “Any pain?”

“No, sir.”

I turn her around, take a look at her ass. It’s pink, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t hurt her one bit. I give it some gentle massaging. “And here?”

“No, sir.”

I turn back around, cup her silky cheek. “Good.”

“Good?”

“Everything here is about pleasure. Yes, some of it will cause you pain, but it’s ultimately about pleasure. This is all new to you, Mandy. You have to go slowly.”

“May I speak freely, sir?”

I smile. A big, wide smile. My God, right here under my nose this entire time has been a natural submissive.

“You may.”

“I don’t want to go slowly. I’ve waited too long to discover this side of me as it is.”

“That’s not your decision to make,” I say.
