Page 82 of Their Naughty Student
“Fifty Shades of Grey.Have you seen it?”She appeared genuinely curious.
“No.And to be fair, I don’t think that movie was meant to be a guideline to Domination and submission.”
“But it seems legit.”Jamie frowned, glanced at Cav.
“I haven’t seen it either, cupcake.Sorry.”
“Oh.”That was definitely disappointment.“Anyway.It’s about a businessman who set his sights on this young woman.He’s a Dominant, and his goal is to make her his submissive.In the movie, he tells her all the things he expects from her.Obedience and all that.When she asks what she gets out of it, he tells her that she getshim.”She smiled.“It was kinda hot, actually.”
I frowned.“Is that what you think submission is?You obey your Master and in return you get whatever he wants to give you?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Absolutely not.”I couldn’t help it, I was pissed at the thought, and I knew it was reflected in my body language.
“Then what do I—I mean, what does a submissive get out of it?”
“Drop the pretense, sweetness,” I snapped.“If you want to write a paper, we’ll do this in a classroom.If you want the experience, we’ll nix the scenarios and show you.”
There he is.The Dom she needs.You can see it on her face, can’t you?
I could see it in her eyes, yes.This woman had a strong submissive side.Even if she didn’t realize it yet.
“Okay,” she said hesitantly.“Let’s suppose I’m submissive.”
I nodded, urging her to continue.
“And you are”—she motioned between the two of us—“my Doms.What do I get out of this?Aside from the opportunity to spend more time with you?”
Cav jumped in, his tone reflecting the same frustration I felt.“What do youwantto get out of it, cupcake?If you’re doin’ it solely to get the attention of a man you’re interested in, why would you put yourself through it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you think Brax and Case are with your brother because they want his attention?”I asked.
“Yes,” she insisted.“I do.Case needs what Zeke can offer.”
“And what’s that?”I needed to know if she could see the bigger picture, the deeper meaning behind it all.
“He needs Zeke to … beat on him.”
“He’s a masochist,” I explained.“He craves the pain.”
“So, if he submits,” she said, her forehead creasing, “he gets Zeke.”
“No,” I countered.“He gets what Zeke can give him to fulfill his need for pain.In turn, he gives Zeke what Zeke needs.”
“As a submissive, he’ll need that, too,” Cav added.“The pleasure … the fulfillment of giving Zeke what he needs.”
“So it’s a give-and-take?”She seemed to ponder this.
“Absolutely,” Cav inserted.“How could we ask a submissive to give themself over to us if they’re not gonna get somethin’ out of it?”
“Do you think Luci submits because she wants Landon’s and Langston’s attention?”I tossed out.“She gets that at work already.If she submits simply because she wants their attention, what does that fulfill for her?”
“I don’t know.If it were me, I’d get tired of it,” Jamie declared.“Tired of doing everything for them.”
“Are you confusing being a submissive with being an employee?”
