“Oh, on Reggie’s scale of devious delights it ranks about in the middle,” Alex quipped.
Reggie looked at her scowling. “You may keep your comments to yourself, Alexandra. Turn around.”
Alex’s back side was more than just a show of leather and skin. What skin was showing, that particularly on her bottom, was marred by the appearance of bruises in various stages of healing. There were marks of roughed skin scattered here and there. And a few red spots still showing where Gus had used the crop that morning and the bite of the implement had cut deep. These latest marks not only graced her buttocks, a few appeared on her back and shoulders. This had been the most severe daily punishment since the first one at the stables.
“You punish her every day?” Gwen asked.
“I leave that for my stable foreman,” Reggie replied.
“Ooo, that is interesting,” the girlish woman almost giggled as she spoke.
What a ditz, Alex was thinking. And yet she was very pretty, and obviously submissive. In a way Gwen reminded her of herself a few years before, innocent and unsuspecting. She was a woman toying with darkness having no idea what ship she would sail on and what seas she’d have to cross to find her passion’s satisfaction.
“Come here, Alex,” Reg ordered.
Turning around, the harnessed submissive took the three steps to the man finding herself standing painfully close to his cold, masterful mood, shivering with one chill upon the next.
“This week’s been rough for you,” he said. He spoke to her without including Gwen in the conversation, even though the woman could hear him.
“Yes, sir,” she answered.
“And the lesson will remain with you?”
“Yes, sir.”
He tugged the chain attached to her clitoris and she winced.
“I don’t want you to forget, ever.”
With his voice like steel, the timbre of its vibration climbed right down her spine and tickled her ass. She resisted the urge to shake off the mounting arousal.
“I don’t think I could, sir,” she replied.
“We’ll see,” he said. “I might never trust you, but the man that loves you wants you home. He’s a champion of forgiveness, don’t forget that. Now, get back in your clothes and spend your night with Will.”
“I’m not coming back?” she exclaimed excitedly.
He tugged the chain so she remembered herself.
“God forbid if you did,” he warned. He let loose the chain and she stooped to snatch her clothes from the floor. She was about to fly from the living room, but then Reggie’s voice rang out. “You’re forgetting something,” he said.
“What’s that?” She turned around.
Fishing through his pocket he withdrew his hand and tossed her a shiny wad of something she didn’t recognize. Not able to catch the flying projectile in the air it landed on the floor and she bent down to pick it up. Keys. Two small silver keys to her harness.
“I’m not sure Will wants to use them, but they are his, just as you are. Now behave yourself.”
Alex was so elated she was about to tell him thank you but that seemed totally absurd. A quick smile was all that was necessary and she was off. Reggie was satisfied, as much as he could be, and Gwen remained a little speechless for the normally loquacious woman.
Reggie stared for some time at the empty hallway until Gwen finally broke the silence.
“Were you in love with her?” she asked.
“I think I was once,” he ruminated, almost to himself, though he finally shook himself awake and looked down at the charming woman on the sofa.
“What happened to that?” she asked.
“I think we were too much alike,” he said.
