I began to pace in front of the class.
“For the next four weeks, you’ll be experiencing something not many get the opportunity to experience. A chance to get time with each of our trainers, to learn about them as well as about yourselves. I suggest you be on your best behavior. You’re here because you asked to be here. Remember that. Since we’ve already lost some time, let’s lay out the alignments so we can get this show on the road.” I motioned toward Cav.
He proceeded to call out the pairings. When he was finished, he took a step back.
I paced the room. “As I mentioned before, this week is now shortened due to the changes. I apologize for that. But don’t worry, you’ll have more time with this pair of trainers in week four because you’ll end the course with them. Masters, please take a moment to give your submissive any requirements you have and then I’ll lay out the plans for the coming weeks.”
As they began to chat amongst themselves, I turned to Cav and Jamie.
“Please stand, sweetness.”
With a hand, I helped Jamie to her feet. She stood, hands behind her back, chest thrust forward.
I walked around her, stopped at her back, leaned in close to her ear. “I’ve changed the structure, sweetness. Not only because you asked, but also because that’s the way Cav and I prefer it. This isn’t a hardship, so don’t get the wrong impression. But I do want you to know…”
I moved to stand in front of her, tilted her chin up with my hand. “This won’t be a cakewalk for you. It’s the real deal now. And the three of us…” I made sure she held my gaze. “We’re in it for the long haul. Understood?”
“Yes, Professor. I understand.”
I grinned, but it wasn’t a sweet smile. “We’ll see if that’s your answer once the night’s over.”
With that, I geared up to show this naughty student just who was in charge.
Jamie
ALTHOUGH HE SMILED, I COULD SEE THE deviousness in Edge’s gaze.
I wasn’t worried.
Much.
Okay, fine. I was a little worried. There was no denying I was happy with the change he’d made, but I also knew not to expect this to be easy. I figured this was the easy part. Edge certainly had a plan and I got the feeling I was going to be front and center.
“All right, class,” Edge addressed the room. “When you’re ready, we’ll relocate to the classroom. We’ll spend one day a week in there, and today’s that day.”
When he moved toward the door, I started to follow but was pulled up short when Cav gripped my hair, held tight. A tingle shot down my spine, igniting my lust. What did it say about me that I loved that he did that? There wasn’t much pain, but it was the actual act of him gripping my hair, holding me in place that did it for me in ways I hadn’t expected.
“Hold up, cupcake. I didn’t give you permission to leave yet.”
I turned to face him, keeping my hands behind me. The outfit I wore did little to hide the way my nipples puckered at the gruffly spoken words. I’d found it in my locker when I arrived tonight, and I instantly knew it wasn’t something Master Chaos had selected for me. No, Master Chaos had selected relatively tame outfits. Demure was a good word for them.
This … the black lace demi bra did little more than cup my breasts, a hint of my nipples peeking over the top edge. And the matching lace thong was so thin it wasn’t really there at all. I’d stood in front of the locker room mirror for the longest time before I finally forced my feet to move. I had agreed to this and I’d be damned if I would allow them to intimidate me into backing out now.
Cav held up his hand, showing off what appeared to be a necklace. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was not a necklace, but a collar.
Heat slammed into me.
“While we’re at the club, you’ll be required to wear this at all times.”
Cav took the leather strap and ringed it around my neck. It was cool against my overheated skin.
“While I won’t be using a leash on you, it’s always a possibility.” He slipped his finger through the loop on the front, pulling me toward him. “For now, I expect you to remain close at all times. You are not to walk anywhere without one of us. Understood?”
“Yes, Professor,” I whispered, my voice catching on the emotion churning inside me.
“And you will not leave the building without permission. Agreed?”
“Yes, Professor.”
I knew they’d told me not to rely on the stories I’d read, but I couldn’t help it. I had no frame of reference otherwise, and since collars seemed to be an outward sign of possession for a Dominant, I took it to mean as much for the three of us.
