Chapter 15 - A Spanking Good Time

On the drive back from Anastasia's apartment that evening, I'm feeling pretty damn good about how things have gone today. Ana's agreed to sub for me, and now I can concentrate on reinstating some order back in my life.

With just a few minor alterations that I think I can handle, I'm well on the way to getting my addiction to her under control and manageable. I know who I am again.

I'm hopeful that we can make this arrangement between us work, even if it does mean bending some of the rules. The essence of the understanding between a Dom and his sub will still stand, even if she is sort of my girlfriend for maybe one day a week. I followed Flynn's advice, I compromised and this is the result. I got what I wanted.

So okay, against the rules, I did come over to see her during the week, but that was necessary to sort out the soft limits. And okay, I didn't intend to stay this long - Taylor's been waiting for me since nine and it's now gone ten thirty - but shit, it was worth it. Worth staying to give Ana that well deserved spanking and a second fuck.

I've already pretty much got our first scene planned out so we can get started on Ana's training when she comes over on Sunday, especially now she's told me about her erotic dream. I'm delighted to find out she dreamt about me using a brown plaited leather riding crop on her, and I'll sure as hell be doing my best to ensure that dreams really do come true for her.

She needs to get some contraception sorted out, so once she has her period, which I found out is due next week, she can hopefully start taking the pill - that's the method I prefer my subs to use. I won't leave this to chance, I'll get the top ob/gyn to come and sort her out. Then I can stop using condoms, which I fucking hate.

Yep, all in all things went pretty much to plan today, and now my sweet girl is ready to comply with what it takes to fit into my life.

I knew she'd enjoy the Bollinger I brought over with me, and that after a few glasses - or tea cups in this instance, she would relax and open up a bit more.

It's a shame she's still somewhat difficult and defiant about accepting the first edition books, but of course I get my way about them, because in the end, she doesn't have the nerve to return them to me. The quote she attached to them was pretty amusing and clever I have to admit:

"I agree to the conditions, Angel; because you know best what my punishment ought to be; only - only- don't make it more than I can bear!"

I really like that she has such a sharp and witty mind. But it back fired on her in the end, because like I tell her - I'll be easier on her if she just accepts the fucking books. Thinking she's so clever about donating them to charity - that was not my intention, and she knows now that it'll displease me, so it's not happening.

I'm pretty pissed to discover that she had a couple of interviews lined up that she hadn't told me about. I don't like the insolent tone she uses or her reluctance to tell me which publishing houses they're with, in case I use undue influence or interfere. She will have to learn that I need to know about things like this as soon as they happen, so I can have the necessary checks and controls in place to ensure she will not be putting herself at risk in any way. No matter though; I let it drop for now, because I can easily find out where her interviews are, no sweat. She will be none the wiser, and I will take whatever action I deem necessary.
