I manage to catch Luca’s and Paige’s expressions; they’re scared for her. And they should be. My little lamb isn’t ready for what I have planned for her.

“I’m so glad you asked. Luca, Paige, you’re both dismissed,” I tell them. “Rosabelle, don’t move from that spot.” I take sadistic delight in witnessing the spread of shock and terror pass across her beautiful face.

I walk to the closet in the back of the training room and open it, looking for the items that I will need.

If she wants to touch herself now, then she can feel free. That’s not me forcing her, but if she’s going to do it, it’s going to be for me. If she refuses, then I’ll punish her, and there are a hundred ways I can do that without ever laying a finger on her.

“Beast,” Luca approaches me.

I’m not surprised to see that Luca hasn’t left yet. I turn around to check on my little lamb and am happy to see that she is where she belongs and that Paige has gone.

“What are you doing, man?” Luca asks.

“Answering her question.”

“You’ve got that look in your eye, that evil gleam that scares the shit out of people. I don’t know if it’s a good idea for you to be alone with her right now.”

“Okay, I admit that a second ago I overreacted in response to her bullshit question, but I’m not going to destroy her, just teach her a lesson.”

Luca looks me dead in the eye, unsure whether or not he believes me.

“I promise.”

“Fine,” he finally believes me, “But you’re not to leave this room with her, and I’ll be in the observation area supervising you the entire time.”

“Fine,” I agree.

Luca leaves me at the closet and enters the observation area through the near-by door. I grab a set of vibrating panties and a wand massager and close the closet. On my way back to where Rosabelle sits, I pull another chair over with me. I situate the chair in front of the one where Luca punished Paigesobeautifully, that it made my little lamb so wet she nearly touched herself. She wants to let herself go.

Fuck; get your shit together. Remember who youare. I take a calming breath and think about my sub. That’s what a responsible Dom does. She’s the first sub I’ve had in three years. I can’t fuck her up on her first day. She doesn’t need punishment right now, she needs support; encouragement. She responded much better to me upstairs when I backed off my attitude and took charge. I take a few more breaths to center myself before acknowledging her again.

“Come.”

Her reaction is a little slow for my liking, but she moves before I have to repeat myself. I’m floored when she begins to crawl to me. That’s not what I meant for her to do when I gave her the order, but she’s imitating what she saw Paige doing. The sight of her slinking toward me on all fours, like a kitten, drives me crazy. Maybe she needs a new nickname?

No.

She willalwaysbe my little lamb.

I’m glad Luca insisted on staying. Holding back may be more difficult than I originally thought. She stops when she gets to me and sits back on her heels.

“You’re a fast learner, Rosabelle. That’s very good. Up, in the chair.”

She sits down and crosses her legs. I rest on the edge of the chair across from her, placing the toys on the floor.

“Look at me.”

She listens. I can see the fear and anticipation in her eyes. I don’t want her to fear me.

“I apologize for losing my temper a second ago. I’m not going to hurt you. I would never do that. As your Dom, it’s my privilege and responsibility to make sure you’re taken care of. Do you believe me?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Part of that is making you feel good. You’ve been absolutely remarkable since you walked through that door, Rosabelle. You came in here full of intrigue and with an open mind. Look at the impact of that attitude. Don’t you want to see where that can take you?”

She looks at me like she isn’t sure what to say.

“Are you destined to be a bored, little girl with no life because she feels responsible for a father that doesn’t deserve her?”
