“It’s the short one on the far left,” he said from across the room.“Golden colored.”

He had several there.One was black, intimidatingly long with at least thirty strands.There was a red one that appeared to be made from rubber.Kelsey picked up the one she thought he meant.It was about twelve inches long, and the thick strands were soft and supple, but it was still daunting.“Is this correct, Sir?”She turned toward him.

“It is.”

Schooling her mind and her racing thoughts, she took a few steps toward him then stopped.Her pulse fluttering, she lowered herself to her knees then went lower still, until her forehead was pressed to the hardwood.Kelsey stretched her arms in out in front of her, palms together and facing up with the handle of the flogger across them.

Since her eyes were closed, she relied on her other senses.The sound of his footfall seemed to echo throughout the room and inside her head, reminding her of her submission.

Then… Nothing but the whisper from the air conditioner.

He allowed the tension to stretch and grow, and it took all her concentration to remain in position.

Eventually she felt him lift the flogger from her hands.

“Very, very nice.I couldn’t have wanted anything more.”He went quiet for a moment.“Look at me.”

Through barely opened eyelids and with her forehead a scant few inches off the floor, she tipped back her head.

He was crouched in front of her, his legs spread.

She met his gaze.“Sir?”

“When you’re ready, sub, strip.Stack your clothes in the bottom drawer of the armoire, then put on the nipple clamps I’ve laid out for you here…” He pointed toward the countertop.“Then position yourself over the spanking bench.”

She waited, unable to respond.

“When you do, I want you to tell me how many times I should use my flogger on you.”

Kelsey squeezed her legs together and felt the plug shift.

“And when we agree on that answer, I’ll do exactly that.”

“Yes,” she whispered.

“Once we’re done and you can’t take any more, you’re going to ask me to sear your ass with the paddle.I want you, me—both of us—to know that you’remyslut.And I want you to be proud of that.”

She shifted, already needy.

“Do you understand me, Kelsey?”

“Yes.Yes,” she whispered.“Yes, Sir.”

She forced her gaze up.

“And then, my obedient submissive, you’re going to beg me to fuck you.”

Chapter Twelve

The reality of having Kelsey in his playroom surpassed his fantasies.

He stood near the countertop and watched her take off her clothes.Her hands didn’t shake as badly as they had a couple of days ago, meaning she was gaining confidence, perhaps relying on him and his direction to guide her.Fucking heady stuff.

As he’d instructed, she placed her clothes in the bottom drawer, and she tucked her shoes out of the way.

She walked toward him, her bare feet silent on the floor.Though he loved the sight of a woman in high heels, there was something about her being completely nude that made her appear more submissive.

He continued to study her as she picked up the clamps and put them in place.She winced and moaned softly.Other than a scream, he couldn’t imagine a more appealing sound.“Wait.”
