Satin

Chapter 16

Kendrick's POV

I watched as Madeline angrily scribbled on her paper, "Who the fudging heck does he think he is putting his hands on our Sky?" She has been grumbling for the last thirty minutes after Skylar went to take a nap. This whole ordeal has been emotionally exhausting for him and I was doing my best to support him. 

"When you went to get his things, did you take any detours," I asked her curiously.

She sighed, "I may have gone back through the neighborhood, but since it was dark and I didn't know which house it was, I gave up and went to his apartment."

"Had you found the house, what would you have done," I asked next with a raised eyebrow.

"I would have calmly walked to the door and politely rang the door bell," she began, as if she had been thinking long and hard on what she would do. "Then depending who opens the door I would introduce myself as a professional butt kicker, and that I had been called in because someone had the audacity to put their filthy hands on the most sweetest people I have ever met and that I was to ensure the person responsible got what they deserved." 

I nodded slowly, "And what was your plan if you were arrested?" 

She gave me a sheepish smile, "Call you and accept my punishment with pride." 

I sighed softly, "Let's be thankful you didn't know where they lived." 

"I'm not," she muttered.

"A criminal record isn't a good thing to have," I reminded her.

"Yeah, yeah," she grumbled.

"Being here for him is far better than you being behind bars," I told her. "However if you're that eager to be put in a pair of cuffs we have plenty upstairs."

She bit her lip, her gears turning as she thought about the various things that would happen if she were cuffed. Then she let her lip go, "I think I'll wait till I know he's okay before I let you cuff me."

I nodded in approval, "I think that is for the best."

Although I was her Dominant and she follows my rules, she was right when she stated it as a "let me". I never will perform any form of acts, punishment or sexual if my submissive isn't in the right head space. The right head space controls the direction it goes in. If it's for a punishment you must be assured that they aren't suffering mentally, that their emotions and thoughts are in a healthy place because if you punish them and those thoughts and emotions aren't where they should be, you could do more harm than good.

We may have written agreements with consent on what I can do, but I always look for their consent before I play with them. Their consent doesn't have to be verbal, it can be physical. Like returning my kisses eagerly, their hands reaching out to pull me closer, lust filled looks, etc.

Soon I was notified by the front desk a package for Maddie had arrived and I went to retrieve it.

"Is this what you used your allowance on," I asked her, having gotten a notification of a charge for two hundred from her card.

"Yep," she said while popping the 'p'. "I ordered Sky a new bag. Of course it was before the incident last night, but I know he still will need it."

I smiled softly at her and kissed the top of her head. "I also have his laptop being looked over to see if it can be saved," she said to me. "It's an older laptop though and I noticed several of the keys were faded so it shows he's had it for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if the processor is a little outdated on it so he might be better off replacing it. Given his new current situation though, he doesn't have the funds. Wanna go halvsies with me?"
