Chapter 15 - Ice & Fire

(Shan's POV - Mon. 25 August 2014)

3:14 pm - Mark: Get ready and be downstairs at 5:00 pm. I'll pick you up in front of the building. We're going to see Aaron at the club.

I am searching on the internet for a training course in bartending when I get Mark's text.

The last few days have been crazy for me! The guy who has never been able to plan for his future is looking for a training to become a professional bartender. The guy who has never been able to commit into a serious relationship with anyone agreed to a long-term one and is about to become a Submissive member of the Black Diamond.

It seems like I have finally found my way in life. I am starting a lifestyle I never thought would have attracted me and here I find myself committed to a man I am slowly but surely falling for. In less than a month, Master Mark has become my new anchor and the light to guide me through my darkness. I am feeling good with him. Good like I have never felt with anyone before.

If we are going to see Aaron, I guess it means he's finally going to announce me his decision regarding the test I took last week. From what I overheard of the phone conversation between Mark and Joshua yesterday, it sounded like there shouldn't be a problem, but you never know... I don't even understand what took the Master Dom so long to make his decision – since Liam told me it was usually faster – and I think Mark was a bit upset about it.

Yet, he reassured me, saying I had done really good at the test, which of course made me feel proud. Honestly, it wasn't that difficult because I was more than ready, but all the same, I was still very intimidated by the jury... If the Master Dom can be very impressive, Master Camden is a whole different level of scary. I am exaggerating, but his severity and coldness made me a bit uncomfortable, and I got to understand better why Liam told me I shouldn't ever try to defy him with disrespect.

Anyway, I am confident about the result, and I can't wait to go to the club for the first time as a Submissive. It's hard to explain how it makes me feel, but I'm so excited! I want my Master to be proud of me, and I will do my best to impress him.

Liam told me he would mentor me for my first time there, I'm not sure why though. He remained enigmatic, saying that Subs usually go through a complete ritual before meeting their Dominants inside the club. I did try to ask questions, but he just replied I would find out on Wednesday.

With these thoughts in mind and since I still have a bit of time, I finish my research on the internet and write down the contact details of the two training schools I selected. Both of them look very good, but I don't know which one I should choose. I guess Mark will be able to help me here.

After a long shower, I get ready to meet Mark. Dressed in tight black jeans, a white dress shirt and my Dock Martens, I leave the apartment a few minutes before the time he indicated. Yet, I'm surprised to see the Dodge Ram already parked in front of the building when I get out at 4:55 pm. Damn! I'm early and shouldn't be in trouble, but I still hope Mark hasn't been waiting for too long, so I hurry inside the car and peck his lips.

"Hello Beautiful! How was your day?" he asks with a bright smile, that makes me exhale with relief.

"Great! I've done my research and found a couple of training schools," I reply cheerfully. "I'd like you to have a look though, and help me choose the best, if you don't mind..."

"Good boy! Of course, I'll have a look tonight and help you!"

"Thanks... How was your day?"

"A bit boring... I missed you," he says, pouting.

Pouting. Seriously? Mark is freaking pouting!! Now that is great! It suits him so badly - because... the heck! Big masculine Dominants don't pout, do they? - that I burst out laughing.
