Bound (ON HOLD)

Chapter Nine: After-Care

Callum's P.O.V:
I start to get an idea to make her feel a little more comfortable with staying here. I go upstairs to her room and find some sweatpants and a baggy shirt, a bralette (in case she'd feel more comfortable wearing something underneath the shirt) and a pair of women's boxers. I place these on the counter in the bathroom. I look at the bathroom window nervously. I want to trust that she wouldn't try to leave.... but it's hard for me to truly believe that she wouldn't.
I make sure she has a new bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and face/body wash, as well as a razor (that has secured blades she cannot pull out) and shaving cream. I place some deodorant, a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, some floss, and lotion for women on the counter as well. She'll be able to shower and change before I finish reheating dinner.
Then I go into my room and pull out my sleeping bag, and extra pillow. I'll sleep on the floor to make my Kitten comfortable. I go into her closet and pull out a stuffed animal that I got her as a welcome home gift and place it on my bed. I also turn on my lamp on a dim setting so if she gets worried that I move in my sleep she will know it's not to harm her. I get two water bottles from the fridge and take them into my room. She should be set now.
Now is the hard part. Getting her to agree to come upstairs with me. I walk back down and she's quietly sitting on the floor. "Saphronia, come here sweetheart." I tell her. "I fixed everything up so that you could change and catch a shower... door locked and everything." I nervously laugh. This is when she looks at me.
"I can take one alone?" She asks doubtful. "Yes, this is a test.... you will still be staying in my room tonight, but I figured if you take a shower and are a good girl... tomorrow you'll be allowed your own room?" I suggest. "Speaking of rooms... you will be in the bed alone. I pulled out a sleeping bag and I'll be on the floor." I tell her. "Come on, let's go." I tell her. She hesitates, but stands and comes to the door. I unlock the door and take her upstairs, walking in front of her.
"Why?" She asks quietly when we get to the door of the bathroom. "Why what-" I start to answer. "Why the change of character so quickly?" She sounds very skeptical. "Saphronia, I may pack a bit of temper, and can show dominance but the main job of what this lifestyle is about is care. I need to care for someone and have them depending on me, and I know that I bought you from a slave company but they are not a good example of this lifestyle. You're new, but I think once you start to understand that I'm not here only to inflict pain, but when I do it's because I want to make sure it will end in pleasure, you'll learn to like this. It's okay to be scared right now Kitten, I will move as slowly as you need. Just remember, I'm your master.... not just a friend." I tell her winking. She stifles a smile and turns to go into the bathroom. I leave and go start to reheat our dinner.
