“Good.”I motioned for Cambria to open the door.“I’d like to introduce you to your Masters.”
I paused for a moment as the training Masters walked into the room, my eyes grazing the submissives, ensuring no one looked up.They’d been instructed to keep their eyes down at all times, unless specifically told otherwise.
“Please take your places behind your submissive,” I instructed the trainers.“And place the blindfolds over your submissive’s eyes.”
Do not look at Jamie.Do not look at her.Harder than it sounds, huh?
I ignored the voice, observed everyone except for Jamie.
The eleven trainers—eight assigned to submissives, three on the panel alongside me—made their way across the room, stopping behind the submissive they’d been assigned to.
Gave her to Master Chaos, did you?Safe bet?
There were seven men and four women, all handpicked by me for this session.While we had more Masters at the club, I tended to utilize the same ones for training.And once or twice, I would shift them around, remove one, add another.No one took it personally because they all knew I was catering to the needs of the individual submissive.As for the panel, I rotated them out every class because I wanted the variety they each brought to the training.Plus, I respected their opinions, and the panel would be the final decision-maker as to whether a submissive graduated or not, ultimately garnering membership to Dichotomy.
Once the blindfolds were in place, I asked the submissives to stand.Their assigned Dom assisted them to their feet, then turned them so that they were face-to-face.
I walked around the room, observing each person.“Your first task for tonight is to get to know your Dominant.Not only can you not see them, you’re also not allowed to use taste or sound to identify.In a few minutes, all of the Masters will line up at the front of the room.You will be required to pick your Dominant using only touch and smell.Should you select incorrectly, the Dominant you’ve picked will be responsible for your punishment.So, I suggest you take your time and think it through.You have three minutes.Begin now.”
I walked through the room as the submissives began their quest to identify their Master by touch and scent alone.As I expected, most started with their hands, placing them on their Master’s head and working their way down.Knowing they’d do this, all four women had their hair pulled back into ponytails, and all the men had left their hair unstyled so as not to give themselves away.
“Remember, this is your Master.You’ll be intimately acquainted with them.Do not limit yourself here.”
Hands began to wander lower.
I paused beside Jamie, watching as she leaned in and sniffed her assigned Master.She was very thorough, and I noticed, rather than using her hands, she used her cheek to touch her Dominant’s face.My eyes met Master Chaos’s, and I nodded even though there was a churning in my gut.
Yeah, let’s see how long this lasts.I give it a day, tops.
After my discussion with Cav on Friday, I had decided he was right.Attempting to manipulate her time here would be a disservice to her.If she was going to embrace this, she would do so fully.And that meant she would be assigned to all eight training Masters through the course of the class.It had killed me to make the decision, but I wasn’t the sort to lead with my heart, so I ignored the pain, pushed through.
And while I’d made that difficult decision, I hadn’t been able to do the same with Cav.So I had assigned Cav to the panel because I wasn’t comfortable with him being intimate with one of the submissives.
Yeah.Perhaps that made me selfish.I didn’t give a shit.
Selfish isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
“Time’s up,” I commanded.“Do not move.”
While the submissives remained where they were, the Masters came to the front of the room and lined up, along with Cav and Master Harris, both on the panel.I motioned for Jane to move over to the submissives.She gently shifted them so that they were facing the Masters in a line.When she returned to the first submissive, a young woman by the name of Jenny, I nodded.
“Miss Ward,” I began as Jane removed the woman’s blindfold.“Please show me which of these Masters belongs to you this week.”
When she stepped forward, I held up my hand.“Did you ask permission, Miss Ward?”
Her eyes widened and terror flashed briefly.I shot a glance at Jane and gave an indiscernible nod of my head.There was something there I didn’t like.
“May I identify my Master, please?”
Since she didn’t use my name, I shook my head.“No, you may not.”
Jane replaced the blindfold and moved to the next submissive.
“Miss Jordan, take your turn,” I instructed as Jane removed the blindfold.
“Master Edge, may I please have permission to identify my Master?”
“You may.”
