I turned my attention back to Master Chaos.
“Thursday night,” he began, “you’ll join me in this room at eight o’clock sharp.Your clothing will be selected for you and placed in your locker.For your safety, I’ll expect your hair to be pulled up in a ponytail.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Trainees are required to sit at a desk while in the classroom during the training sessions.When we’re out on the floor, I expect you to walk in front of me.I will guide you where I expect you to go.Do not leave my side for any reason.Understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“You may refer to me as Master Chaos or Sir while we’re working one-on-one.Either is appropriate.However, when I’m conducting the class and I call upon you, I expect to be referred to as Master Chaos.”
“Yes, Master Chaos.”
“You’ll only be in my care for two nights.I’m not sure that will allow you much time to get to know me all that well.I can tell you, I’m not a hard-ass.I don’t have any rigid rules or instructions.Any punishment you receive from me will be geared toward humiliation, not pain.Not from my hand at least.”
That was interesting.I wanted to ask him why not, but I kept my mouth shut and nodded.
“Have you turned in your limits list as requested?”
“No, Sir.”I never looked away from him.“But I promise to complete it before I leave tonight.”
“Very well, Miss Lautner.For this week, I look forward to being your Master.”He offered a brief smile.
“Thank you, Master Chaos.”
“If you’ve finished your discussions with your Master and you’ve turned in your paperwork, including the limits list, you’re free to go for the evening.Class will begin promptly at eight tomorrow night.I expect to see you on time and prepared.”
When Master Chaos left the room, I went over and retrieved the manila folder with my name on it.I pulled out a chair at the long table and took a seat.It didn’t take long for me to complete the necessary paperwork, including the nondisclosure agreement as well as my limit list.When I was finished, I placed it in the stack and made a beeline for the door.I didn’t look back as I double-timed it to the locker room, where I quickly changed into my street clothes.And before I risked running into Edge or Cav, I discreetly made my way through the club and out into the night.
I didn’t breathe easy until I was pulling into my apartment, and by then, easy wasn’t the word I’d use to describe my mood.There was a tightness in my chest I could only attribute to the disappointment I felt at the way the night had gone.
If I didn’t know better, I would’ve sworn my heart was broken.
“Stupid,” I admonished as I stripped out of my clothes and pulled on my pajamas.
I had some studying to do for my early class tomorrow, and though I would’ve preferred to hide under my covers and cry, I decided it was the distraction I needed.
And when my phone chirped with a text message, I didn’t bother to look.I didn’t want to talk to anyone.I needed some time for my own pity party.Thursday night, I would return to the training class and I would follow Master Chaos’s instructions.And I would do the same with whoever was assigned to me for the next four weeks.
After all, I was the one who’d agreed to this class.Edge and Cav owed me nothing.
Too bad my expectations had been so high before tonight.
Had they not been, perhaps I wouldn’t be wiping away a stray tear right now.
CAV
“Did you see Jamie leave?”I asked Edge as he was closing down the club.
I’d stayed back, chatting with the others, discussing the outline for the training class and the submissives who were participating, while Edge and Cambria had talked to the submissives who had questions and followed up to ensure they had all the necessary paperwork.
“Did you not talk to her?”he asked as he flipped through a notebook on his desk.
“No.I saw her head to the locker room but never saw her after that.”
“I saw her head downstairs,” he said, his tone clipped.“She looked determined to leave, so I let her go.”
I frowned.“Without saying anything?”
