“That is no way to speak to your master my pet.” She actually growled and I grinned down at her, enjoying the sparks that flew between us. I could see from the fire in her eyes as she looked up at me that she was thinking of ways to do me in, but I wasn’t in the least bit worried about her paltry show of resistance. In fact I relished it; all the more need for my whip on that perfect ass of hers to bring her to heel.
I lifted my foot from her back and helped her to her feet though she did not appreciate my assistance. Her eyes flashed with uncertainty as she looked towards the hatch where we could hear her dad below muttering in concern. When her eyes came back to mine, I could see the wary defeat written in them.
“Good, now that I’ve got your attention we are going to go over a few things. First you will walk down those stairs on your own accord else I will drag you kicking and screaming by that beautiful hair of yours. After which I will strip you bare and give you the ass whipping you so richly deserve. But before we do that, there’s one thing that needs immediate attention.”
I reached into the bag I carried and retrieved the little stamp like brander and the lighter. Heating the emblem of my family crest as I watched her eyes widen with curiosity and fear. I couldn’t believe the rush I got from knowing that in just a few short seconds my mark would be on her and she’d be mine in every way.
I felt my cock lengthen at the thought of what I was about to do, the step I was about to take. “Turn around Alyssa and don’t make me have to tell you twice. You do not wish your father to pay for your disobedience now do you?”
That last was said low enough that the words did not carry downstairs to the already flustered man. I saw the battle of indecision in her eyes as she gauged the distance to the door and freedom. A lift of my brow convinced her that that wouldn’t be a wise move.
She huffed at me but did as ordered, her eyes following the now red-hot brander in my hand. Lifting her hair in one hand I used the other to brand my family crest into her neck just beneath her right ear.
She cried out from the pain and I set about soothing her. “Ssh, it’s okay little Alyssa the pain will be over soon.” Next I took the salve I’d brought and rubbed some of it into the wound. Now she was officially mine. The first woman I’d ever marked. I fought back the little nugget of unease I felt and blew on her neck to help ease the sting as she whimpered.
While she was distracted her dress was then torn from her body and I quickly pulled the shift I’d brought her over her head. The simple garb was made in my colors so everyone who saw us as we left would know she was now mine. My sole property!
A lot of weight went with that. It meant no one would dare touch her from this day forth. Not that they’d have the chance after today, but it had to be done; a kind of public statement if you will.
“Let’s go.” I placed some cotton swab over her new branding and taped it in place before attaching her collar. She jerked at the sound of it being locked in place, or was it the sound of the chain that hung from it? I walked ahead of her carrying her chain, being sure not to pull lest I injure her farther.

She was silent all the way down the stairs but I did not kid myself that she was so easily tamed. I surmised that she was in shock and the threat against her father was keeping her in check for now. I wasn’t planning on using that again. From now on the only thing she would fear is displeasing me.
“Say goodbye to your father.” She kept her head lowered as she mumbled goodbye. I could see old Silas fighting back the tears as he took in his daughter for what could be the last time.
Subs weren’t allowed the freedom to go back to their families for a visit and this arrangement would be no different no matter that it was just up the hill from here where she would be living.
Her training was going to be extensive in the next few weeks and there was to be no outside influence. After that who knows how I’d feel about sharing her affections with anyone, including her dad.
After the goodbyes had been said I walked her out the front door and began our journey home. I could’ve had the driver bring us or I could’ve driven myself, but somehow I needed to do this, to let everyone know that she was now mine.
