Page 204 of Brie's Submission
“It’s time I teach Mr. Wallace I mean business,” Sir announced to the club owner before leaving Brie’s side and heading out the door. Several people tried to follow after him, but the owner shooed them away. “Nothing to see here, folks. Go back to what you were doing.”
A sub next to Brie muttered, “God, she is such a bitch! Justhadto ruin it for the rest of us. Already has Sir and now she’s taken away Faelan from us.”
Brie glanced over, half-expecting to see Mary, but it was a short-haired blonde who stuck her tongue out at her.
What had started out as the perfect evening had quickly deteriorated into a humiliating spectacle. She wanted to escape,neededto escape from the resentful stares of the submissives surrounding her and the utter disgrace she felt. However, Brie remained where she was, staring blankly at the scene before her, wondering what was going on between Sir and Faelan. The Domme was enthusiastically whacking the jiggling buttocks of her submissive with a wooden paddle. The crack of the paddle broke through Brie’s anguish, helping her not to cry.Just concentrate on them, Brie commanded herself.
Until she overheard, “Do you think he will publicly disown her when he returns?”
Her greatest fear voiced out loud ruined her resolve. Tears streamed down her face as she ran through the crowds to the back of the club, seeking out a private room. Once found, she collapsed on a chair, wiping away her tears.Sir is a good Master. He will not disown me. He won’t…
“Brie, are you okay?”
She looked up to see Tono standing in the doorway.
“What are you doing here?” She could just imagine Sir walking in on her talking with Tono. “Go away!” Then she remembered who she was talking to and corrected herself, begging him. “Please, Tono. Please go away.”
He left without further question. A short time later, Sir strode into the room. Brie fell to her knees, “Sir, I did not mean to disobey. I’m sorry.” She bowed her head to the floor, swallowing her tears.
“Stand up, Brie.”
She slowly got on her feet, but kept her head lowered.
“Look at me.”
Brie bravely looked up and was greeted with a grave expression, but she took heart at the tender look in his eye.
“I understand why this happened.”
A single tear fell from her cheek.
“There is no need for tears. I did say you were to meet with someone tonight.” He brushed the wetness from her cheek, chuckling lightly. “Tono said you ordered him away.”
Brie nodded, unsure why that was funny, but she was relieved to see his smile.
“Hewas the one I wanted you to speak with tonight.”
“I didn’t know, Sir.”
“No, you did not. It is fortunate that you chose not to speak with Tono due to that very fact. You are learning, téa.” He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.
He sat down on the couch and Brie naturally knelt down at his feet, laying her cheek against his strong thigh. Once Sir touched her, all worry evaporated.
“Brie, I know you have lingering feelings for Tono and I am not threatened by them. He is a mature Dom who respects your decision.” The tone of Sir’s voice softened as he stroked her hair. “I know you, téa. I understand that you suffer from guilt. I’d hoped tonight your heart would be eased by speaking with him directly.”
His hand stopped mid-pet. “Naturally, I did not foresee Wallace’s breach of protocol, but that will end.” Sir lifted her chin to look her in the eye. “If he comes anywhere near you again, you are to ignore him and leave. If he dares to follow you, seek protection from the nearest person you trust. Although we reached an understanding tonight, I am not entirely convinced he will leave you alone. He admitted to me he has the misguided hope that he can still win you over, even though you are collared. Until he understands that reality no longer exists, he will remain a problem.”
“Sir, I’m—”
“I do not blame you, do not apologize again. But I want to know what he shared with you tonight.”
“He told me about the accident.”
“Yes. A terrible circumstance indeed, but do not let it color your feelings towards him. One must come to terms with one’s past to be effective as a Dominant. It should never be used to garnish sympathy from a sub.”
Brie was hesitant to voice the one thing that Faelan had stated the first time he’d cornered her that still played in her mind. “Sir, he claimed I am his reason.”
Sir shook his head in disbelief. “He is a fool to put that burden on another. I understand his desperation having been there once, but it is still no excuse. Wallace will be good to no one until he works through his demons.”
