I continue reading through them silently, Garcia craning over to read them as well.

Rule #1: Do not discuss the rules or anything else that we do with any members of the team

Rule #2: You will address me only as Ma'am or Mistress while we are in the club

Rule #3: You will look me in the eye when I am speaking to you, and when you respond back to me

Rule #4: You will not speak to anyone in the club unless I permit you to

Rule #5: You will ask permission to go to the bathroom

Rule #6: You will stay by my side the entire evening

Rule #7: You will do what I ask, no questions asked

Rule #8: No touching, unless I give you permission

Rule #9: You will ask permission to eat or drink anything

Rule # 10: If at any point you notice someone who matches our profile, you will tell me immediately

Rule #11: Once we have our unsub in sight, you will obey my every command

Rule #12: If any of the above rules are broken, you will accept a punishment that I deem fit for the disobedience with no complaints. A 'thank you, Ma'am' will be the only thing out of your mouth

Rule #13: You will remember that I am your boss, and you are my agent. Nothing at work changes between us because of this night.

I take a breath after reading through the rules. "It's all so tame," Garcia whines. I don't respond, too busy writing a response text to Emily. Everything is green, except rule #8. I know for a fact I will be anxious, so I need to be able to touch her somehow in order to ground myself. I mark that rule down as Orange, so we can talk about it at the precinct. I am a bit disappointed, like Garcia said, the rules do seem a bit unnecessary. But if this is what Mistress wants, Mistress gets.

Me: I read through the rules, Mistress.

I hit send and wait for a reply. Garcia mutters to herself under her breath. "What are you going on about over there?" I ask. She huffs. "I'm yelling at Emily because I won't be able to at work," she grumps. I smile at Garcia. "You are really great, you know that?" I tell her. "Yes, I do," Garcia nods, "If Emily does one thing to you that makes you upset, I'll hurt her." She turns to look at me, giving me a big hug. "You are going to do great tonight, Y/n," she says.

"Thanks, Pen," I smile, returning the hug. "Shall we get some food in you?" She asks. I shake my head. "I'm too nervous to stomach anything right now," I admit. "I will be waiting with McDonalds just for you once this is over," she decides. "Perfect," I agree.

My phone buzzes and I immediately grab it.

Prentiss✨: Only one you want to discuss, Angel? Hm.
