Bound (ON HOLD)

Chapter Eleven: Bedtime Part Two

Callum's POV:
I go to retrieve her from the bathroom, after hearing the water turn off. I walk upstairs and she's sitting in kneel position. Pleasantly surprised, I pat her head and tell her to release. Since she's been doing so well I might give her a bit of freedom sometime soon.
We go into a space I made into the dining room (the living room space was far too large) and I have her sit. She sits in the exact chair I pointed to, and I grab our food.
She listens to the rules and continues to refer to me as sir like I asked, however I think I'm going to change that rule a bit. It's a bit repetitive for my taste. After dinner, I clean up and have her finish getting ready for bed. Later, cleaning up will be her job.
I then sit at the table and start to write down all the rules and stipulations I have. This way she can't forget them, and things are very detailed about what I expect.
After a while, she comes down the stairs quietly and hesitantly. "Come here Saphronia." I tell her. She starts coming a bit faster but still scared. I pat my lap and she frowns. "It's alright sweetheart, sit here." I tell her. She sits at the edge of my lap and I pull her back onto it. She squeals scared as I do and I give her a look.
"I-I'm Sorry Sir." She says quietly, looking away from me. I pull her chin up to try and meet her eyes. "Look at me." I command quietly. She looks up. "I'm not going to hurt you." I tell her she looks away. "That's not true..." she says quietly. "Pardon?" I ask, going back to typing. "If I do something wrong, you will." She answers. "Have you done something wrong?" I ask her. She shakes her head no. "Words." I answer. "No, but-" I look at her. "Then you've got nothing to worry about." I answer, patting her head; then I go back to typing. "Besides, punishments are not always painful. For instance, I could take things away: like you can't shower in the bathroom alone, or you aren't allowed a meal, you know things like that, or they can be sexual... but those won't come until much, much later." I chuckle at her reaction, however she wiggles uncomfortably in my lap.
"Sweetheart, for both our goods, please don't wiggle so much" I let her know. She seems confused until a look of horror is replaced on her face. She immediately tries to get down, but I hold her there. "Did I say you could get down?" I ask quietly in her ear. "Um-er-I mean.. no" I look down at her "then why are you trying to leave?" She frowns. "I'm sorry sir." I pet her a few times and say "it's alright, you're learning, and you're not going to keep trying right?" I raise an eyebrow and she shakes her head while saying "no sir". I nod and look back at the screen.
It's getting pretty late, and I have work tomorrow. Work! Shit... one of my friends is supposed to come to watch Saphronia for me. "Saph?" I ask looking down. "Hmm?" She asks sleepily. "Tomorrow my friend is coming over to watch you while I have work, you are to do as he asks, no questions. Understand?" She wakes up immediately and looks up at me. "But- what if he's not like you? What if he.... if he asks something of me that I don't want to do?" She asks trying to avoid the topic. "He's not going to make you have sex with him, or anything like that. He's only coming to make sure you behave while I'm away." I tell her. "The most he'll ask you to do is wear some clothes while doing some chores and I can't really say it's wrong." I tell her. She looks at me angrily. "I'm not cleaning in a bra and underwear only." She answers. "You will wear what he asks you to or nothing at all." I answer her firmly. "And I suggest that some clothes are better than none." She looks at me in horror.
"What if while I'm cleaning he gets ideas? Do you really want that? I thought you said-" I look at her. "I said what?" I ask. "That-that I was....." she looks down. "Forget it." I try to get her to look at me. "Say it." I command quietly. "That I was yours." She finishes it quietly. I turn her to face me. "You are mine and only mine. Just because someone else will be monitoring you doesn't mean that you are theirs." I answer. "And even if he gets some ideas he has his own girls back home to worry about." She sighs.
"Promise me that you will do your best to behave tomorrow." I say after a bit. She looks up at me. "You swear that he won't...touch me?" She asks. "On my life. He is able to give punishment if you misbehave though." I tell her. "I....I promise sir." She tells me. "Good girl, now upstairs and to bed. I'll be there within the next hour or so."
"What are you doing?" She asks before getting down. "Typing up your rules for you. You should have them in your room tomorrow. They will be on a lanyard for you to wear so that you can have them on you." I tell her. She nods and gets off my lap. "Goodnight Saphronia." I tell her as she heads upstairs. I get a quiet "good night sir." Back.
I smile, she's too cute sometimes.
