Brie walked over, a smile playing on her lips. Picking up the small box, she lifted the lid and saw Sir’s old cell phone nestled inside. He’d been carrying it the day the plane went down.
For Brie, it held only bad memories, and that played across her face now.
“This gives you the reference,” he stated. “Now, open the larger box.”
Still having no clue what this was about, Brie lifted the lid and let out a gasp of surprise as she opened the folded tissue paper to find the extravagant dress inside. It was an exact replica of the green and white garden dress Scarlett wore at the Wilkes’ picnic inGone with the Wind.
She glanced over at Sir, and a smile spread across her face. “Rhett?”
He nodded. “When I listened to the messages, I came across one that mentioned a desire to play out a particular scene together.”
Brie shook her head, a myriad of emotions flooding in. “I was watchingGone with the Windwhen…” Her voice broke. “…I almost lost you.” She looked at him sadly. “I can’t bear to watch that movie anymore.”
“Well, tonight we are going to change that.”
“What do you have planned?”
He gave her a mysterious smile. “All you need to concern yourself with is getting ready. I will take care of the rest and meet you downstairs, outside the lobby, at exactly seven.”
Brie blushed, excited by the prospect of a night out together. However, other than her parents, no one else had babysat Hope up to this point. “Sir?”
He raised an eyebrow. “Yes?”
“If we are leaving, it means we have to get a babysitter, and I…”
“What?”
“I’m not sure I’m ready to leave our little girl with someone just yet.”
“Babysitting arrangements have already been made. It’s time for you and me to reconnect as a couple.”
Brie understood that he was honoring her request to keep their relationship strong, even as new parents. However, now that shewasa mother, she felt hesitant to leave Hope with someone else.
“It’s time, téa,” Sir insisted, reading the uncertainty in her expression.
She blushed, touched that he had set up this romantic role play to ease her back into the world they both loved, and she did long to scene with him, as well—especially as Rhett and Scarlett. Still, she found it more difficult to leave Hope than she had ever imagined and looked at him pensively.
“You are curious about who will be watching our child?”
She nodded.
Sir said with a glint in his eye. “You will have to trust me.”
“A little hint?” Brie begged, giving him doe eyes she hoped he could not resist. When he did not respond, she nodded, accepting her responsibility to trust him without question. “It always seems to come down to a matter of trust,” she mused.
“That does define the D/s relationship.”
“Yes,” she agreed, bowing her head as she knelt before him. A feeling of peace washed over her as she took on the formal role again. Brie looked up and gazed into his eyes, fully his submissive.
He placed his hand on her head and said in his velvety smooth voice, “Stand and serve your Master, téa.”
Her heart filled with the familiar joy she felt as his submissive. She stood up gracefully before him, head still bowed, waiting for his command.
Sir put his finger under her chin and lifted it. “We are going to scene tonight.” She felt her loins contract with pleasure. “But first, you must take care of your hair and makeup. When you’re ready, I will help you into your gown.”
“Do you want a subtle look, or full-on Scarlett O’ Hara?”
He winked at her. “Rhett is looking to meet up with Scarlett.”
