“I never thought about you needing to be safe”
“I knoant to set things up correctly this ti there waswhen I punished you” She looked up in surprise “Not soany aftercare”
“Aftercare?”
“I should have coht Talked Held you Made sure you were okay Checked your skin Made you sit down the next ”
“Oh”
“I was so wrapped up in ive you the attention you needed” I held her gaze “It won’t happen again”
She didn’t say anything
“If I have to punish you again—when I have to punish you again,” I corrected It was inevitable It would happen “I want you to understand that it’ll be different”
We spoke more about aftercare and what she should expect We went over ould result in a chastisement and what the various penalties would be
When she didn’t have any ht and we took Apollo out for a walk I showed her the cherry trees, pointed out where floould be co up soon As alked, I reached for her hand and our fingers intertwined
My phone gave a low double beep
“Yes, Sara?” I looked at uessed she’d show up early
“Ms King is here, sir”
“Thank you Send her in at five after six Once she coht”
“Yes, sir,” she said and hung up
It was a Friday night Abby had told me she wanted to resubmit her application to Mr Godwin and coht it damn near the craziest idea I’d ever heard and told her no, but she persisted After sos more official, and Godwin knew better than to question any orders I gave him
“You want ’s application to you?” he asked “No one else’s?”
“That’s right Only hers”
“I have a new one here Looks pro She asked for you”
“Not interested Call and tell her I’oes for anyone else who asks”
Abby had requested I recollar her that weekend We talked about timelines in detail I told her there was no rush—I’d even questioned her about it thatin the shower—but she had been insistent
I looked at ain
At three minutes after six, I turned back to
Da lucky-ass bastard
The door opened and closed Abigail—Paul had told ht of her as Abigail on the weekends—walked across the floor and stopped in the middle of the room I peeked up and looked at her—head down, arms to her sides
Whatever you did to deserve to have that wonderful creature in your life, I don’t know, I typed
Da lucky-ass bastard
Co you a second chance to be her dom
Loving you even though you were such a fuckup
Loving you, period
Da lucky-ass bastard
In the history of da lucky-ass bastards, you, West, are the luckiest da lucky-ass bastard
Now, go give her what you both want
I stopped typing
“Abigail King”
She didn’t e me
I pushed back from my desk and walked behind her I stopped for a second and save a twist
“I was easy on you last time,” I said, because it was the damn truth and she knew it She also kneould not be easy on her this time
I pulled her hair, and she worked to keep her head down Excellent I had not yet given her permission to look at me
“You told ave you physically,” I said “Do you remember?”
She didn’t speak—I had not given her permission to do so
I jerked her hair “I’ail We’ll see just how much you’re able to handle”
I let go of her hair andto train you Train you to service ive a command, I expect you to obey immediately and without question Any hesitation, raised eyebrow, or disobedience will be dealt with on the spot Is that understood?”
She still didn’t speak
“Look at me and answer,” I said “Do you understand?”
Her head lifted and her eyes met mine “Yes, Master”
Yes, Master? She called me Master before I collared her?
Again?
“Tsk, tsk, tsk” I’d known she would ht it would happen in ht you learned that lesson last time”
She looked completely confused
“How do you address me before I collar you?” I asked
“Yes, sir”
