More Than I Bargained For

letter

The next day, Annie sat reading a letter that was addressed to in the little library their house had over and over. It was quite early in the morning and Jace was still asleep. Grayson had gone out to work on publicity tactics for the band or something.

Annie read quickly scanning the lines on the paper with her heart in her chest. Not long after she heard a light knock on the door. A bit startled, she looked up and saw Jace in the doorway. Jace chuckled and walked over to Annie leaning down to give her a kiss. "Sorry, princess, I didn't mean to scare you"

"Oh don't worry it's only my scaredy-cat self that is scared by every little noise I hear," Annie remarked trying to play off why she was being jumpy.

Jace did not look nearly as amused by Annie's self-deprecating joke. He gave her a firm look and Annie rolled her eyes. "It was a joke, daddy, I promise!"

"Well, it wasn't a funny one. Don't roll your eyes Annie" Jace remarked.

"Why do you even care. It's not like I'm talking bad about you." Annie remarked standing up from her favorite chair and putting the piece of paper in her pocket. She was probably overreacting anyway.

"What is wrong with you today! Of course, I care! You are my sub." Jace exclaimed growing angrier with Annie.

"Oh really. I'm your sub? I hadn't noticed." Annie didn't know why she was getting so pissed but it was too late to stop it now.

"Watch your mouth, girl" Jace ground out.

"It was one comment, sir, I don't know why you got all up in arms about it anyway. It's not like I said I wanted to kill myself!" Annie tried to leave the room but Jace blocked her path. '

"Where do you think you're going" Jace demanded

"Somewhere where you aren't" Annie scowled.

"The fuck you aren't. I don't know what the hell your problem is today Annie but you better figure it out and get over it because I am sick of your attitude." Jace exclaimed.

"No! I'm mad. I want to be mad! Sometimes I get mad, Jace! Sorry if that's not working for you." Annie said.

"You know what, that's it. Come here" Jace grabbed her arm and dragged her over to a chair putting her over his lap.

Annie gasped. The trio had a rule that when they were in a fight like this Annie wouldn't worry about getting punished. The doms wanted her to understand that she was able to speak her mind even if they didn't agree with it. Annie thought it was kind of a silly rule at the time because they never really fought. She was surprised that Jace was trying to get around that rule.

"Jace. Stop. I'm not playing right now. You said I wouldn't get punished if we were fighting like this!" Annie said. It wasn't that she was scared she just wanted Jace to know how she was feeling and she didn't really have the patience for punishment right then.

Jace pulled down the leggings Annie was wearing and raised his hand. "You broke a rule, Annie. An important one. You are not to talk bad about yourself."

"Punish me later then. It was only a joke. Right now I want to yell at you."

"Annie just taking the fucking punishment. You know you deserve it." Jace said frustrated.

"NO! Red." Jace froze. Annie froze. She didn't really know why she had said red. There was a part of her that certainly wanted a spanking. She just felt that she wanted to prove her point.

Jace stayed frozen as Annie got up and pulled up her pants. She didn't know what to say. She hated fighting with her doms. The pair stared at each other as time seemed to stand still.
