“Did he?” He noted how she no longer referred to him as Martin.
“He said that one of the reasons he was with us was because he could do things you couldn’t with me.”
“That’s true.” Julian had wished Martin had been the one to administer the punishment. It was his rule she broke. “You have to know that you’re not doing anything wrong when it comes to us in the playroom. I’m resolving my own issues. The deeper we explore, the more I realize there may be some things I may not be capable of when it comes to you.” He had to be honest with her. “I enjoy playing, that won’t change, but I may have a few hard limits that I didn’t realize I had.”
“Isn’t that what this exploration is all about? Trying to decide what we like and don’t? Finding our way together?”
“Have I mentioned how proud I am of you?”
“A few times.” She smirked. “I’m not upset about what happened tonight. I’m not saying I liked being punished, but I know it’s part of it. If we decide we don’t want to do it anymore, then at least we can say we tried it.”
“We can revisit it another time.” He agreed with her. It was part of the journey, but only a small part as far as he was concerned. “If you change your mind and you have something you need to talk about, don’t hold it in. We’ll get through it together.”
“I promise I’m fine. I screwed up. It was Master M’s right to punish me how he saw fit. I’m glad you’re the one who did it.”
“Me too.” As odd as that seemed, he wasn’t sure he could have stood by and watched someone else chastise her. “Why don’t you try to fall asleep? Do you want anything? Tea? Water?”
“Just you.”
“I can accommodate that.” He moved to cuddle beside her. “I’ll stay until you fall asleep and then I’ll shower.”
“You should have joined me in the tub.”
“It was better I stayed clothed so that I could focus on taking care of you and not the usual things that happen when we’re both naked.” He kissed her head. “Close your eyes.”
“Can I tell you something?”
“Anything.”
“You shouldn’t feel bad about the punishment. Or guilty or have any regrets.”
“Why is that?”
“I agreed to the rules. I have safe words. I can take the pleasure with the pain or I wouldn’t be doing this with you.” She gazed up at him. “I broke a rule tonight. A rule you knew I would eventually break.”
“It was only a matter of time before you called him by his name in his presence.”
“That was my fault, and you did what needed to be done.”
“Thank you for saying that, but it’s my job to take care of you tonight.”
“It’s our job to take care of each other.” She placed her palm on his jaw. “I’ve asked for your dominance on more than one occasion, Julian. Chastisement comes with the territory. You gave me your dominance. I know who you are.”
“Better than anyone ever has.”
“Knowing who you are makes me run to you.” She kissed him softly. “Never away from you.”
She always had the right words for him.
“You’ll have my dominance. We’ll just make a few modifications along the way. I’ll always do what’s best for you.”
“I’ve never thought otherwise.”

After a quick shower,Julian came downstairs. Kayla had been asleep for over an hour. She seemed okay with what had transpired in the playroom. She accepted responsibility for her disobedience and wanted to move forward in their journey. He smiled when he thought about her strength and determination. At times, he thought she was more equipped for what they were embarking on than he was.
There was a light knock on the door. Julian had instructed the front desk to let Martin up to the penthouse once he arrived. Martin insisted on checking on them, even though Julian assured him Kayla was doing well.
