“That is correct,” he answered with a smirk.
Giggling lightly, she stared at the envelope. “When can I open it, Sir?”
“At five o’clock tonight. Not a second before then.”
“What happens at five, Sir?”
“My obedient sub opens the envelope,” he replied, kissing the top of her head.
“Is there anything I need to do before then?” she asked, hoping for the tiniest of hints.
“Yes,” he stated matter-of-factly.
She waited anxiously for his answer.
“You must wait.”
Sir picked up Hope, who was playing with blocks on the floor, and headed back down the stairs, chuckling to himself.
Brie glanced at the envelope again and then at the clock. Damn…it was going to be a long five hours.
Sir’s cruelty knew no bounds.
Putting her headphones on, Brie went back to work, forcing herself not to look at the envelope for the rest of the day.
Finally, at 4:59, Brie powered down her computer and took off her headphones. Picking up the black envelope, she dutifully watched the second hand slowly tick away until it hit the appointed time. Excited, Brie broke the seal of the envelope. She pulled out a black card with the same gold print and opened it to see Sir’s exquisite writing.
I read your latest entry in your journal.
Although you were unable to finish it, I have come up with a suitable ending I think you will enjoy.
Dress in the gown I have set out for you and prepare yourself just as you did in your fantasy.
A vehicle will be picking you up at seven. It will take you to the hotel I have designated. You will go to the bar to act out the rest of your fantasy.
I look forward to seeing how this plays out.

Brie shivered in anticipation as she reread the note. Heading downstairs she noticed that the house was unusually quiet. Checking the garage, she realized that not only was Sir’s car gone, but he’d arranged for childcare because she was completely alone.
Her heart racing, she headed to the bedroom and saw he had laid out a new gown on the bed. Picking up the backless dress, she grazed her hand over the black sequins sewn into the bodice. Brie smiled, knowing he had chosen this gown because it would expose the brand on her lower back. She could imagine Sir’s hand grazing her skin as he traced his finger over the “T”.
Sir had incredible taste in clothing, and knew how to make her feel sexy.
Brie headed to the bathroom to take a long, relaxing bath. With two hours to prepare, she took her time putting on her makeup and styling her hair. Sir had set out her Tahitian black pearls, so she finished her look by putting them on last, letting the enticingly long strand of pearls drape down against her bare back.
Brie stared thoughtfully at her reflection in the mirror. She smiled as she thought back to that young girl dressed in her Submissive Training Center uniform. That was the first time she had felt truly sexy. But looking atherself now, she realized she hadn’t known what being sexy was really about.
Running her hands down her dress, Brie looked herself in the eye.
Sexy was being a mother of two, stretch marks and all, and owning the confidence that comes from surviving adversity. Sure, she’d been innocent and cute when she’d started at the Training Center, but that girl wasnothingcompared to the woman she was now.
Glancing at the clock, she grabbed her beaded clutch purse and headed out the door. She found a limousine waiting for her at the curb. Although Brie had reservations about limousines due to several bad experiences in the past, she had no doubt tonight would play out beautifully. Feeling exceedingly confident, she thanked the driver as he opened the door for her and she slipped inside.
Brie’s heart raced on the drive as she imagined how the night would play out. When the driver pulled up to the Ritz-Carlton, Brie glanced up at the elegant hotel and shivered in excitement. It outclassed the hotel in her fantasy, but she loved the direction Sir was going with the scene. She could only imagine what kind of world-class clientele would be sitting at the bar.
With the driver’s assistance, she stepped out of the limousine. Brie lifted her chin higher than normal and swayed her ass seductively as she stepped into the hotel lobby. It was amusing to see all the men turning their heads as she walked across the marble floor, the sexy sound of her six-inch heels catching their attention.
