Moving Day

After three weeks of renovations, Sir finally made the announcement Brie had been patiently waiting for. “The house is ready and I’ve hired a moving crew to finish the packing and transport everything tomorrow.”

“Oh, my goodness, that’s fast!” Brie couldn’t believe they would be leaving their apartment in the morning and living in their new home that same night.

“The sooner we start this next chapter in our lives, the better. Don’t you agree?”

She nodded, her heart beating fast at the thought. “If we’re moving in tomorrow, does that mean I can ask what the big surprise is now? I’ve been dying to know, but have been your patient girl.”

He smiled at her tenderly. “Yes, you have.”

“So, you’ll tell me?”

“Actually, I prefer that you discover it for yourself.”

“Oh, like an Easter egg hunt?” She was thrilled by the idea. “Will I be looking for something big or small?”

Sir raised an eyebrow, letting her know he wasn’t giving her any hints.

Brie suddenly realized how devious he was. Their simple exchange had her anticipating the hunt, which was going to make the wait that much harder on her. “I see what you did there, Sir.”

He winked at her. “It’s my duty and honor to challenge you.”

Brie pouted in protest, making Sir laugh.

“Aren’t you going to thank me for being such a thoughtful Master, babygirl?”

“Thank you, Master. Truly, your thoughtfulness knows no bounds,” she joked.

Tweaking her nose, he told her, “When you see it, you’ll know it was worth the wait.”

“I’m sure I will, Sir.”

Every word he said was just making it harder on her, and he knew it.

Such a cruel Master…

Even though she had protested the wait, Brie was glad Sir was challenging her in her areas of weakness—especially when that challenge included a special surprise.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Brie purred. “Despite the cruelty of your ways, dear Master, this sub loves you.”

Sir put his finger under her chin and lifted it to meet his gaze. “Despite your lack of patience, little sub, this Master loves you, too.”

Brie stood on tiptoes to kiss his sexy chin. “Do you really think you’ll ever be able to teach me patience?”

He smirked. “With a lifetime ahead of us, I’m certain I will.”

Eep!

By eight the next morning, the house was flooded by a large crew of movers, one for every room in the apartment.

Sir had already managed to get Shadow into a cat carrier without suffering any damage.

“How the heck did you do that?” Brie asked, genuinely impressed.

“I’ll never tell.”

“But youareplanning to mention that you accomplished this magical feat to Rytsar, aren’t you?”
