But he laughed, thank God.

“Fuck, I need a cigarette,” I muttered.

“You need to quit for good,” Alastair said. “You’re going to get cancer.”

I sighed. “I know.”

“Come on,” Alastair said. He tucked himself away and led me to the platform bed. “Here, lie down. I need to make sure you’re okay.”

I lay down with my head in his lap, pulling the kimono around me, even though the room was comfortably warm for a half-dressed, thoroughly debauched, femme-boy. Alastair stroked the sweat-damp hair from my forehead.

“Did you have fun?”

“Duh.”

“Can you be more specific?”

“Well, the spanking was painful, but that was the point, right?”

“How so?”

“It hurt like fuck, as I’m sure you could tell…”

“Yes,” he said, in a dreamy way that pissed me off but also made me happy.

“But at the same time, you doing that…the way you did…? I don’t know. I felt…cared for? It was weird, but I guess I loved it…even though I kind of hated it at the same time.” I glanced up at him. “Does that make any sense?”

“Sure. In the land of kink and discipline it does.”

“The Land of Kink and Discipline. Is that where we are?” Somehow, Alastair had dimmed the lights. The rest of the room became shadows and vague outlines as I drifted in a state of pure relaxation and…contentment?

“Maybe Jacob should change the name of the club.”

I laughed. “It doesn’t have the same ring to it as Maverick Molly’s. What time is it, anyway?”

Alastair looked at his watch. “Nine-thirty. We have the room until ten.”

“Then I turn back into a pumpkin?”

“Your ass already looks like one.”

“It better not be orange, Alastair. Jesus.”

He laughed again, the sound of it adding to my happiness. He reached under the robe and placed his palm against the tender skin of my bottom, making me gasp as pain radiated out.

“Your skin is hot to the touch.”

“Goddammit. How long is it going to feel like this?”

“Hmm, I don’t know. A few days?”

I turned my head and gazed at him. “A few days? What the fuck, Alastair? You know I have work! And classes I have to sit through.”

“Yes, and you’ll remember what happened in this room.”

I sighed. “You’ve ruined me.”

“Oh, come on. It’s not that bad.”
