In her eyes

Chapter 26-One more day

We pulled up to Jasmine's house and I was surprised by how much larger it was than the one I remembered. 

As I looked up at it in awe Jasmine laughed. "Yeah. We certainly didn't downsize when we moved."

"How could anyone even afford this? Minus billionares, and actors." I said.

"Well my mom finally finished medical school and decided to become a orthopedic surgeon." Jasmine said as we walked into her house.

"Damn girl. What does your dad do?" I asked as we walked past a pool and the living room.

"He is a electrical technician. He fixes computers and stuff for big companies." 

"Which way is your room?" I asked confused.

"Oh sorry, follow me." She said leading us up a staircase. We walked down a hall filled with family photos before we came up to the last door in the hallway.

"Welcome to casa de Jasmine" She said opening the door. My eyes were immediately drawn to the lights and the hanging chair. 

"Jasmine. You. Are. So. Frickin. Lucky." I almost squealed as we sat on the bed.

"But...." I stared at her "we have to talk about what happened at lunch." I said as she looked away guiltily.

"Yeah what happened to keeping the phases a secret?" Hope asked. 

"I couldn't help it" She cried out. 

"What do you mean?" I asked wondering if my hunch was right. 

"Well when he gave me that look I had too." She admitted. 

"What look?" Hope asked confused. But, I remembered when Liam asked her then gave her a look of control and strength. 

"Why though?" I questioned.

"Well ok only a few people know this but..." she took a deep breath "I'm a sub."

'Called it' I yelled at Skye.

"A what?" Hope asked.

"A submissive. We like to follow orders. Some of us like to give the control away to our partner, and some of us like to have it forcibly taken from us. Some are submissive only in the bedroom, and others are submissive throughout their daily life, with limitations of course. Being submissive is more about who decides what happens ,and takes the responsibility that comes with it, than about the contents of what happens." She explained.

"Oh ok, What?" Hope yelled. "You are into that?" 

"Well I am too." I said looking at her. "But I'm more of a Brat."

"A what?" She asked still confused.

"Brats are, in essence, naughty submissives. We find disobedience a form of playfulness rather than letting our dom down." I explained.

"Oh so you like the rules" she said pointing to Jasmine.

"and you like breaking them" she said pointing at me.

"Basically" I said.

"But what about this Daddy stuff?" She inquired.

"Well Daddies take on a kind of caretaker role in the relationship, being a guide as much a dominant. They dominate their submissives with an iron fist in a velvet glove: much cuddly and affectionate on the outside, while being as sturdy and hard on the inside as other dominants. Using subtle psychological mechanisms rather than brute power, they nurture their subs into obedience." Jasmine said.

"That kind of sounds like how we all saw Liam as a teddy bear and his shifter Lorenzo is 'sturdy and hard'" Hope said.

"Yeah but he is a little different. Lorenzo didn't get mad when I tried to take the tater tots away. He just seemed amused." I said kind of confused.

"Well that is for your case. In your case you want that but also need him to be a little bit of a Brat tamer." Hope looked confused so Jasmine began to explain.

"Brat tamers are, in essence, doms who enjoy handling bratty subs. They find disobedience a form of playfulness from the side of the sub, rather than a form of rudeness. They will take no offence to it, but will still teach the sub a well deserved lesson, because, of course, that is why the sub shows such behavior in the first place." She explained looking at me for confirmation.

'We are kind of trying to push his buttons with the phases thing' Skye told me.

'I know' I told her.

"Ok then I think I am all caught up now but what is Phase Five?" She asked curiously. Once we explained that to she looked at me worriedly.

"Do not do Phase Five unless you are possibly ready to complete the mating process. I guarentee that Ryder and Lorenzo will take over and Ryder has already waited to try to mark you." She told me.

"Ok then we are gonna hold off on the for a while." I laughed nervously.

"Ok while we are talking about this still....I can help you with Phase Five" Jasmine said.

"How?"

"I have supplies from previous relationships" she said quickly.

"I have been in two other relationships with doms and when we broke up they didn't exactly want to come over to get their stuff." She explained.

"Show us. Show us. Show us." Hope and I chanted. 

"Fine. But don't freak out ok." She made us promise as she walked towards the closet.

"Ready?" She asked pulling out a key and unlocking it.

"Yup" I said as she grabbed the handle.

"Voila" She said as my jaw dropped. I looked over and Hope had fainted. I laughed and looked back at the closet. 

"What do you think?" She asked.

"It's perfect for the plan" I squealed. The closet had five shelves. Each shelf had varying degrees of tools. The top had floggers and canes, the next one had cuffs, after that ropes and blindfolds, after the plugs and vibrators, and finally lube and gags.

"So you are going to need all of this stuff that I grab" Jasmine told me.

"I've been through what phase five entails and I know what you will need" she explzined as she started tossing things onto her bed. I watched rope, handcuffs, blindfolds, and a flogger, cane, and riding crop.

"Have I ever told you you're the best?" I asked. 

"Nope."

"Well I am saying it now"

"Ok so take this stuff and save it till you are ready."

"Thanks" As Hope woke up I was in the process of dragging her into the car and yelled to Jasmine. "One more day till your birthday!!!"
