Finding Master Right (Masters Unleashed 1)

“Yes. This one is just to remind you who’s in charge today. When it’s around your neck, you are mine. Understood?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Banner fastened the collar around her neck. The amount of satisfaction he felt at seeing it there was ridiculous. Kate’s eyes glossed over, and when he ran his thumb over her lips she opened her mouth so obediently that he almost groaned aloud. How could she be this submissive and not know? He slid the tip of his thumb into her mouth, and she suckled and nipped at it. His cock throbbed with envy.
When Banner couldn’t stand it anymore, he pulled his hand away. How she’d made that so frustrating was a mystery. It was only his thumb!
He grabbed the chair and dragged it closer to the ottoman. “I get the impression you’re used to getting what you want right away. When you have a Dom, he’ll use you when he feels like it, or he’ll make you wait. You don’t get to pick. Some will let their submissives ask for what they want, but some expect their women to wait patiently to be noticed.”
“So you’d walk away?” she whispered.
“I might, to remind you of your place. It would be hard for me to do today though.”
“And why is that?” Naked, collared, kneeling where he’d placed her, and she suddenly looked smug? Oh, the things he wanted to do to her.
Rather than answer, he grabbed the remote and started the movie he’d cued up to watch if she hadn’t shown up.
She sighed noisily and shifted. “Are you seriously going to watch TV right now?”
“If you move you’ll be punished. You need to learn to do what you’re told.”
“Oh reeeeally?” She snickered.
“This is your last warning, Kate.” He arched a brow, waiting to see how far she would push him. “You need to watch your tone with a Dom, and especially with me.” Mischief and trepidation warred in her eyes and he waited, not willing to lay bets on which one would win.
She settled, so he turned his gaze to the opening credits, even though his attention was on the girl. About five minutes into the movie she started to fidget. At first it was small things—a slight shift of the leg, a repositioning of the hand. It seemed like an innocent reaction to holding her position for so long. A few more minutes and she stretched her back, thrusting her breasts out at him, then tipped her head back and looked at the ceiling.
“Is there a problem, Trouble?”
“I’m bored.”
“That’s not my problem. This is something you need to get used to. Right now I’m busy, so I’m not going to touch you. Exercise some patience and wait.”
She frowned at him. “I’m not a patient person. And what if I don’t want to be touched by you?” Her voice had tripped over the word “touched.” “Maybe this was a mistake.”
Her reaction was interesting. The word had triggered something. And why was her impatience and pouting turning him on? Typically, he had no tolerance for that in a submissive. Did she truly understand what dominance meant? He had to take a strong stance with her now, before she thought submission was a cakewalk.
“I don’t care what you want. I might touch you later, if I feel like it.” Oh, he felt like it, alright. “You have a safeword to use if I do something you don’t want, but other than that you’ll do what I say. If you don’t want to be here, you know where the door is.”
Kate growled in frustration. “The least you could do is let me turn around so I can watch the movie.”
“Oh, you want to watch the movie? I’m sorry. How rude of me.” Banner suppressed his annoyance and rose to his feet. He grabbed her by the waist, ignoring her squawk of surprise, and turned her toward the flat screen. “Kneel up.” She complied, and he shoved her shoulders down until her chest and the side of her face were against the ottoman, her bottom high in the air. As an artist, the arch of her back and the curve of her ass gave him a lot to admire. As a man, it made him groan. “Stay.”
“What? No!” She knelt up again.
She wanted to know what things were like with him? Fine.
In one fluid movement he was sitting on the chair, with the naughty girl dangling face down over his lap. He swatted her ass four times, finding the jiggle and her squeals sexy and distracting, but this wasn’t the time to play with her. Roughly, he put her back in position and held her there by her hair, even though she wasn’t fighting him. Her body was starting to respond submissively, which gave him a more optimistic outlook on trying to train her. He traced the well-defined handprints he’d left with the tip of his finger.
“I said stay, Kate. Do you understand what that means?”
“Yes, Sir.” Her voice shook.
“I’ll be seeing every inch of you anyway, so there’s no need to be shy. Modesty is never worth the punishment. Remember that.” He sat back in his chair and pretended to become engrossed in the movie, but really he just watched her and tried not to think about the fact that he wanted to be balls deep in her pretty pussy instead of trying to teach her obedience. She was right there—her delicate flesh exposed to him, her body at his mercy.
