“There’s a tracking device in your collar. For safety reasons.”

I laugh lightly.

“Thankgod.I knew I was making a mistake before I even got into that truck. I’m such an idiot.”

“You’re not, Brynn. I don’t ever want to hear you call yourself an idiot again, understood?”

I nod my head.

“But back to my conversation with Mrs. Gottwald. You must have left before you heard the next thing I said to her.”

Gripping my chin gently, he makes sure he has my full attention.

“I told her the last thing I wanted to do was to send you back to Meadowlake. Not just for your sake, but for mine, too. Then I told her I love you.”

There it is again. This is the second time in less than a half hour he’s told me he loves me.

“I don’t understand how you can feel that way after what I did.”

“It’s not an easy pill to swallow, but no one is perfect. I don’t agree with what you did, and I’m certainly not happy about it. But, I let Victoria get close enough to kiss me, and that shouldn’t have happened. I understand why, in your position, you’d be so crushed by what happened. I also told Mrs. G I’ve been trying to prove to you you’re not a piece of trash to throw away, but in letting my guard down, I let you down.”

“I don’t blame you, Richard. And a kiss is nothing compared to what I did to you. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive myself. I wouldn’t fault you if you did want to send me away. As much as I would hate to go.”

“I love you far too much to ever send you away, Brynn.”

“I love you, too, Richard.”

He presses his lips to mine, and we stay locked like that for a while. When we finally break away from one another, he looks deep into my eyes, and I can see the love he feels for me.

“I want to take you to my bed now, and make love to you for the rest of the night.”

It’s the first time he’s ever suggested we make love. To do something that will connect us on a different level of emotion. And it is the perfect way to make up with him after what happened.

ChapterTwenty-Eight

BRYNN

Three Days Later

“Are you ready, Brynn?”

“Oh, I’m fucking ready, but are you? You’re the one about to be punished.”

The morning after we made love, and made up, Richard told me he wanted me to punish him for his role in what happened. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first, but he made me realize just because he’s my Dom, doesn’t mean he can never be disciplined. I told him I couldneverbe a Domme, and he assured me he was no longer interested in being a sub. Those days were far behind him.

“I’m ready for anything you want to do to me, baby.”

As much as I didn’t want to mention that cunt, Victoria, I asked him what she used to do to punish him. He told me the she would peg him. My mouth dropped open because that’s not something I ever pictured him consenting to. But then he explained she picked that because of the trauma he faced as a child.

When I asked him why she would do something so cruel, he told me by doing so, she helped him turn that trauma into something more positive. The abuse he suffered as a child was a negative experience. He reminded me it was structure and discipline he craved, because he never had it growing up. By Victoria using pegging as discipline, she flipped the script and he was able to heal from his trauma and better accept his punishment.

I still don’t understand it completely, but I trust Richard.

And it’s one of the very few things I’ve never tried before. The thought of it alone is nearly enough to make me come.

Richard showed me where the switch is to the hydraulic lift his spanking bench is on. I have to lower it a little in order to line up the strap-on with his ass. I take a long look at him before getting started. His dick and balls are hanging free, and I can’t fight the need to have him in my mouth. Kneeling, I duck under the bench and take his balls inside of me.

“Oh, shit,” he pants “Brynn, this is supposed to be a punishment.”
