Chapter 35


    CHAPTER 35: COMING CLEAN


    Waiting out in the lounge at my father’sw firm, I struggle to sit still. I’m so nervous about how my dad is


    going to react about the video. I know Jace and I are both adults, bute on, what parent wants to


    hear a guy call their daughter a whore, and other dirty things as he is about to have sex with her? Yep,


    this isn’t going to be pretty at all.


    Jace keeps cing his hand on my thigh to keep it from bouncing up and down as we wait for my dad to


    finish with his current client. My dad has a full schedule today, but he told me that we coulde in and


    talk while he ate his lunch in his office, so here we sit. I swear, sitting here, waiting, is straining on my


    nerves, but I’m d that I have Jace with me. l’ m not sure anymore on whether I’m worried about my


    dad being disappointed in me or blowing up at Jace. I just hope that we can alle out of this on


    speaking terms with our parents.


    “You need to calm down, E.” Jace whispers to me.


    I stare at him, dumbfounded, “Does this not worry you at all? My dad is about to see you defile his little


    girl after you’ve degraded her, Jace,” I keep my voice low so that Corrine, my dad’s receptionist, doesn’t


    hear me, “He’s not going to take that too well!”


    He shrugs, “There isn’t much that we can do about it, E. It’s not like he can forbid you to see me,


    because you are an adult.”


    I look at the guy who I truly believe that I have fallen in love with, and I cover his hand on my thigh with


    my own, “I just don’t want him to hate you, Jace. I don’t think I would be able to handle that, and I can’t


    choose between you and my parents.”


    He cups my face and looks me straight in the eye, “Both your parents and I would never make you


    choose. Your parents love you and only want to see you happy, so as long as they know you are happy,


    then they won’t make you choose. Granted, they are going to be pissed, well, your dad will be, anyway,


    but hopefully he won’t say anything about the video to your mom.”


    “I’ll make him promise me that he won’t,” I state firmly, “Besides, it will be breaking client confidentiality,


    so he can’t.”


    My dad’s door to his office opens and a man in an expensive suites walking out with my father. They


    are still chatting quietly, but I barely make out something about divarce and soon-to-be-ex-wife, just


    before they shake hands and part ways. When my dad sees us waiting for him, he smiles,


    “Come on in, you two.”


    My legs shake as I walk, and if it wasn’t for Jace keeping his hand on my lower back, letting me know


    that he is right there, I might have actually turned around and ran from the building. This is the first time


    in my life that I have not Jooked forward to talking to my father. Just as we are sitting, Corrinees in


    with a delivery bag and hands it to my


    dad. She winks at me when she turns to leave, and I smile back at her.


    “So, what is this emergency that couldn’t wait until I got home tonight?” My father asks as he pulls his


    favorite turkey and swiss cheese on a hoagie bun, out of the paper sack, along with a bag of chips.


    Jace is the one to speak first, “Someone sent E a video this morning, and we are pretty sure that it’s to


    ckmail her into dropping the case.”


    “Why would you think that?” My dad’s brows furrow as he studies Jace,


    “Well, the video is kind of explicit, and I had been told the other day that a friend overheard Mason’s twin


    sister talking on the phone with someone abut E. Apparently, somebody has been keeping tabs on


    your daughter to try and find dirt on her.”


    “I see,” my father looks at me concerned, “So, what’s on this video? I find it hard to believe that anybody


    would find dirt on you, E,”


    “That’s what I said as well.” Jace chuckles nervously.


    My father’s eyes nce at Jace briefly, and then return back to me, “What did they find on you, E.” My


    dad asks sternly.


    “Before I show you, Dad, you need to keep an open mind, okay…and you need to promise not to get


    mad.” I plead with


    him


    “Hand it over, E.”


    “Promise me, Dad…”


    “I can’t promise if it’s something that is going to hurt this case!” His voice raises just a tad.


    *That’s the thing, it can’t hurt the case, because it has nothing to do with the case,” I say quickly, “but it


    will be humiliating if it gets out onto the inte, and I think that’s what they were threatening if I don’t


    drop the case.”


    “Hand…me..the…video.” My dad says really slow.


    “Okay,” I pull up the video and start to hand it over the desk to him, “but just know that everything, and I


    mean everything, on this video is consensual.”


    “Jesus,” my father closes his eyes as he curses because I think he now realizes what may be on the


    video.


    His jaw ticks as he nces from me to Jace before hitting the y icon. The volume is still up, so Jace


    and I can hear everything, which only makes it worse as I watch my father’s expression go from bad to


    worse. He doesn’t finish watching it as he taps on the stop and tosses my phone onto his desk. He


    doesn’t say anything, just sets his elbows on his desk, sps his fingers togethers, and presses his


    forehead against them. The silence goes on for eternity it seems like.


    nce over at Jace, and he grabs my hand and squeezes it trying to tell me that it will be okay. When my


    father moves, it’s only to lean back in his chair and re at Jace. I have to give the man beside me


    credit, he is holding my dad’s re very well. Jace is ready to take on my father’s wrath no matter how


    bad it is.


    Finally, my father addresses Jace, “What do you have to say for yourself?”


    “With all due respect, Ethan, what happens between E and I, is our business. We are not ashamed of


    our sexual preferences, and neither one of us will apologize for it. We brought this to you only because


    they are wanting her to drop the case, and also, because someone climbed up that tree and recorded a


    video without either of our consent.”


    My father’s face is beet red when he turns to me, “So, you’re okay with him calling you a whore and


    treating you like amon slut off the street?”


    “Dad, it isn’t like that! Jace doesn’t think that of me…and it turns me on when he says those things.” I


    look away from himn when I say thest part, not that I’m ashamed, but I’m embarrassed that I’m telling


    my dad these things,


    “I would never disrespect your daughter, Ethan. I love E, but our tastes when ites to intimacy is a


    bit more… colorful than most people’s tastes.” Jace tries exining, but it doesn’t seem to be doing any


    good at the moment.


    “Dad, please don’t be mad at Jace, he does it because I like it.” It’s not quite a lie, because I do like it,


    but I didn’t know liked it until Jace started it.


    “I just don’t get this whole, what do you call it…” my dad thinks on the word he’s looking for but Jace


    answers for him.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    “Kink lifestyle.”


    “Yes, that’ What is it about talking down to others like that?”


    “li’s a bit hard to exin to people who don’t have the same tastes as we do,” Jace says, “but know that


    E is my world, and I know E’s needs and wants, and I just want to make her happy.”


    I squeeze his hand and smile at him, falling for him just a little bit more. I then turn back to my dad, “I


    love you, Dad, but this is my private life, and as Jace said, we came to you about it because of the


    implication of the message. We also wanted to talk to you before we talk to the of the family tonight


    about our rtionship”


    My dad cuts me off, “E, your mom and his parents are not going to want to see this video!”


    “We are not going to show them or tell them about the videa, and as mywyer, I want you to promise


    that you won’t tell anyone either. We just want to put our rtionship out in the open instead of sneaking


    around.”


    I can tell that my father is still pissed, but he agrees with rne about not mentioning the video to anyone.


    He then turns to Jace, “I had a high regard for you. Jace, and now, I jusi don’t know what to think. You


    have disappointed me.”


    “I’m sorry you feel that way. Ethan. I’ve always looked up to you as a father figure, and still do, but I will


    respect your


    Coming Clean


    feelings.” Jace is polite, but I can tell that my father’s words have hurt him.


    “Don’t put this all on Jace, Dad! If you’re going to be disrespectful to him then don’t expect me to talk to


    you!” I stand up, trying to pull Jace up with me, but he pulls me back down so I’m back in my seat.


    “Apologize to your dad, E. He has every right to feel what he’s feeling after learning about this. He


    wasn’t disrespecting me, but you are disrespecting him, and I won’t sit here and watch you do that on my


    behalf.” I just stare at Jace as he orders me to say I’m sorry to my dad. He is using his Dom voice as


    well, and he knows that I always obey when he uses it, but I can’t this time.


    I snatch my hand out of Jace’s and turn to my father, “I’m sorry if you think I’m disrespecting you, but I’m


    not, I’m just telling you about my own feelings on the matter.” I nce at Jace because I used his own


    words, and then I turn and hurry out of my dad’s office. Not stopping until I get to Jace’s Jeep, I break


    down as soon as I get to where it’s parked. Of course, it’s locked, but it doesn’t matter, I just needed to


    get out there. I knew my father wouldn’t be happy, but I couldn’t listen to him talk down to Jace like that. I


    won’t choose between them, but I will stick up for whichever one is getting the wrong end of the stick.


    After giving myself a few minutes, I wipe the tears from my face as I wait for Jace. I probably shouldn’t


    have left him with my dad like that, but I felt like I was suffocating in there. My parents don’t know about


    how I spent thest two years being bullied and not having anyone, feeling lonely on a daily basis, so of


    course, they are not going to realize how much being with Jace and being able to break free from the


    shackles of loneliness means to me. I don’t think anybody other than Jace would have been able to see


    deep enough inside me to know that my needs differ from most. Hell, I didn’t even realize the extent to


    what I needed, but Jace did, and I know that he is being patient with me as I begin to explore.


    I’m so deep in thought that I’m not even aware of my surroundings. I see nothing, I hear nothing, until a


    horn res, jerking me from my own thoughts. Looking around, I see an angry Jace stomping toward me


    and the Jeep. He must have walked in front of the car that honked, because I doubt he is seeing


    anything else while his eyes are focused on me. He doesn’t say anything to me as he unlocks the doors


    and holds my door open for me. Once I’m settled into my


    seat, he grabs the seatbelt and stretches it across my body, buckling me in. He then ms the door and


    walks around to the driver’s side. Only when he is in the Jeep and he’s started it, do our eyes meet and


    he talks to me.


    “You were a very bad girl in there, E.”


    JACE POV


    I sit here and take in every word that Ethan says to me. It hurts; I’m not going to lie, but I also know that


    he’s angry and he has to let it out. Not everybody understands the dynamics of the kink lifestyle, and


    that’s okay, so I let him say what he needs to say, even if it does hurt. Ethan is like a father to me, so the


    disappointment that I see in his eyes is the toughest to take, but I won’t apologize about loving his


    daughter. Fuck, I’d probably be doing the same thing if I had a daughter and saw what he did without


    having any understanding.


    When E lets loose on her father, I sit back and let her have her say, proud of her for standing up for


    herself, and yet disappointed because I find her being disrespectful to her father. It’s when she tells


    Ethan that she won’t talk to him anymore and then tries pulling me from my chair, that I’ve had enough,


    and can’t let her continue or else she’s going to say something that she’s going to regret.


    I pull her back down into her chair and muster up my Dom voice enough for her to recognize it, but not to


    the extent to where her father would get even more pissed at me. Staring at her, I keep my voice calm


    but stern, “Apologize to your dad, E. He has every right to feel what he’s feeling after learning about


    this. He wasn’t disrespecting me, but you are disrespecting him, and I won’t sit here and watch you do


    that on my behalf.”


    E stuns me when she rips her hand out of mine and turns back to her father. I don’t pay too much


    attention to what she is saying because I’m seeing red at the moment. To disy this kind of childish


    tantrum is uncalled for, and I wouldn’t have thought that she would react this way. Once she runs from


    Ethan’s office, I stare at the door for a moment before turning back to Ethan. I’m pretty sure we have


    matching expressions on our faces.


    I clear my throat, “I’m really sorry that you had to find out this way, and even more sorry that you had to


    see that, but I do love E. I have loved her since I was twelve years old, and I will continue to do so as


    long as she allows me to,” I run my hand down my face and sigh, “Those things I said in the video. I don’t


    think that of your daughter, but it is what we both like. All I’m trying to do is keep her happy, I’ll do


    anything in regard to her happiness, but I will also punish her when the need arises.” He goes to say


    something, but I hold up iny hand to stop him, “I know what you’re thinking, Ethan, but no, I would never


    abuse E. Just do us both a favor and do a little research please. Maybe once you know a little more


    about it, you may be able to deal with it better I’m not saying that you have to like it, but at least it should


    put your mind


    Coming Clean


    to rest knowing that she is with someone that has her best interests at heart and who will take good care


    of her.”


    Ethan’s jaw is still clenched but he nods at me and hands me E’s phone. I nod back at him, and then


    take my leave to go search for my disobedient little sub. I’m already thinking of the best way to punish


    her once we get back to my ce. It’s high time we take it up a notch, and work on her obedience


    instead of pissing around because I don’t want to push her too soon. She’s had enough time toe to


    terms with everything and today she will see what happens when a sub disobeys their Dom, especially in


    a public setting.


    My eyes areser-focused on the woman standing all by herself beside my Jeep. I don’t pay attention to


    anything going on around me, and even when a car honks at me for walking in front of it, I don’t even


    stop. My sight never leaves E. As I get closer, I can see that she has been crying by her puffy face and


    red eyes, but I can’t show concern, even though all I want to do now is take her into my arms and let her


    know that it’s all going to be okay.


    Instead, I say nothing as I open up the door and wait for her to climb in before I make sure she is


    buckled. I don’t mean to m the door, but I’m holding on by a very thin piece of thread, and I need to


    get it all out before I give her the punishment that she deserves. I could see confusion in her eyes; she’s


    wondering who my anger is towards, but I will not say. I will never say when I’m angry at her,


    disappointed, yes, but never angry.


    Once I get into the driver’s seat and I’ve started the Jeep, I finally turn and give her my full attention, “You


    were a very bad girl in there, E.” | nce at the time and notice that we still have a little over three


    hours before one of my parents get home, but I don’t know if that will give us enough time. Changing my


    mind about going back to my ce, I turn my Jeep in the opposite direction. I’ll have more options in


    doling out E’s punishment this way as well.


    I can see in my peripheral view that E is ncing around, trying to figure out where we are going.


    When I told her that she was a very bad girl, she knew right away not to say anything to me, so I’m not


    surprised that she hasn’t asked me where we are going. I don’t n on telling her either, she will see


    once we are there. Is it a bad thing if I’m getting hard just thinking about punishing my little sub? I’m


    talking about really punishing her, not just a few spanks with my hand either. I still owe her the forty


    swats with the paddle, but now she’s added to that punishment, and I’m looking forward to using other


    techniques as well.


    As I pull into the parking lot of the Training Center, I see that both Jude and Riku are here as well. I won’t


    be needing their assistance, but I wouldn’t mind introducing them to my girl, only once she has


    thoroughly been punished. Until then, she gets no privileges, and that includes meeting my friends. E


    nces at me while removing her seatbelt, hoping I will give her some insight as to where we are at, but


    I keep my Dom face on. In fact, I’m inplete Dom mode and I expect her to act like the perfect sub


    while we are here.


    I open her door for her and grab her hand, not saying anything untill stop right outside the front door and


    turn to her, “We are in D/s mode as of right now, until I say otherwise. I will expect you to act ordingly,


    because there will be consequences if you do not. Do you understand, E?”


    “Yes, Jace.”


    I shake my head, “Here, you will either call me Master Jace, or Sir. I’d prefer Sir, but it’s your decision.


    You will not speak unless spoken to or I’ve given you permission to speak freely. Do you understand,


    E?”


    “Yes, Sir.” Her eyes are wide, and her cheeks are pink as she responds with a breathless voice. I want to


    grin because these are the signs of a turned-on woman, but I keep my expression stern.


    “This is where you will receive your punishment, because there so many more implements and options


    here. You are going to have a very sore bottom, among other things…”


    I don’t expect an answer from her, so I turn and open the door, pulling her through right behind me. The


    facility is busy this time of day with Dom and sub sses, so there are quite a few people walking


    around. A sub that pays for extra training, and that I work with in the evenings, stops me.


    “Master Jace, are we still on for tonight?” The sub practically bats hershes at me, and I feel E stiffen


    beside me


    Ah shit, this doesn’t look good at all, but I can handle it. This sub always flirts with me, and she gets


    punished for it each time, “No, Lea, I will not be working tonight, but I will make sure that I set you up with


    Master Jude, since you have forgotten the rules.”


    Her eyes go as round as saucers, “Please Master Jace, any other trainer, but him!”


    “You know better than to speak to a Master without his permission, and I’ve told you numerous times to


    stop flirting with me,” I pull E up, so she is now standing beside me, giving her a small smile before


    turning back to Lea, “This is my sub, and girlfriend, E. You will not disrespect her again by flirting with


    me.”


    Coming Clean


    The sub nces at E, “I’m sorry that I was flirting with your Master. I did not realize that he had


    someone.” She seems to be remorseful, but only time will tell.


    “Be in the usual training room at the usual time and a trainer will meet you there.” I don’t say goodbye or


    anything, I just continue on my way, wanting to get E away from everybody, so they don’t upset her


    even more. Had I known Lea would pull something like this, I would have waited until I knew that all


    sses were in session before bringing E inside.


    I can tell that my girl is biting at the bit to say something but is trying to be obedient. I’m not going to give


    her a reprieve, though. Once her punishment is over, then she can ask all the questions that she would


    like, but not until then. The more she remains quiet and obedient, the harder my dick gets. Yeah, it also


    gets hard when she is disobedient, knowing that I get to punish her, but when she is obeying my


    commands and acting like a true sub, that gets me hard as well.


    I first bring her in to where the trainer’s locker room is, so I can grab a hair tie to put her hair back. I don’t


    want to catch her hair on anything and hurt her, so I quickly braid her hair and tie it off. I then take her to


    a room that is very seldom used, so I know we won’t be disturbed. It’s a bit on the smaller side, but I


    don’t need a lot of room for what I’m using it for. It does have a big two-way mirror on one wall, where


    others can watch whatever scene is taking ce, but we won’t be using it, not that E will know that. In


    fact, it’s theplete opposite, I will let her think that we are being watched as part of her punishment,


    as long as she doesn’t have a serious freak out over it. We will see how she handles exhibitionism; she


    doesn’t need to know that I have no ns on showing her off like that to anybody, at least not unless she


    wants me to.


    “Strip and then kneel and wait for me to return; I need to take care of something. I expect you to be ready


    for your punishment when I get back.” I leave through a different door then what we came through. It


    leads out to the hall where the two-way mirror faces and when I look through it, I can see her in as


    day.


    ncing around to make sure nobody else is around, I turn my attention back to my girl. She looks


    around the room from where she stands, observing the furniture and all the implements on disy. I


    notice the slight shiver that runs through her, as well as the small smile on her lips. “Oh, E, let’s see


    how long that smile stays on those pretty little lips of yours.” I say to myself out loud as I watch her strip.


    Just as she gets onto her knees in the Nadu pose, I feel a presence behind me.


    “Very beautiful, Lil’ D,” Jude’s voice is low, “No wonder you are so pussy whipped.” I spin around to see


    my friend checking E out


    “Eyes off my girl, Jude.”


    He lifts a brow, “You have seen Beth naked a million times, but you have an issue with me looking at


    your girl?”


    “There’s a difference, Beth doesn’t mind it, and E is still learning. I don’t want to show her off like this


    unless she is okay with it.” I scowl and I quickly hit the button on the wall that closes the blinds to the


    room. I will have to do it from the other side as well to make sure nobody opens it up from out here while


    we are busy.


    Jude holds his hands up, “Fair enough, I’ll respect that,” he pauses, “but I do hope that one day she will


    allow an audience because I would love to see a scene between the two of you. She looks so innocent,


    Lil’ D. What are you here for?”


    “She’s got a few punishmentsing to her and I don’t want to be interrupted by my parents.” I stick my


    hands in my pockets.


    “Damn, you’re going to give that innocent-looking girl a punishment and not let me watch?” He literally


    pouts his lips.


    “Why yes, yes I am.” I grin.


    “Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll find my own entertainment.”


    “By the way, are you busy at seven tonight? I’m supposed to have training with Lea, but E and I have


    to take care of something tonight.”


    “Why don’t you just cancel it?” He asks because normally I would. I go on to tell him why I want him to


    train her, and of course, punish her for what she had done, “Oh, nice. Why didn’t you just say so from the


    beginning?” He rubs his hands together, “she hates being edged and she cries so pretty.”


    I roll my eyes at my friend; he enjoys his job way too much, but I can’t really me him. If I didn’t have


    E, then I would probably be just like him. I thank him and then wait until he is gone before opening the


    blinds back up. E is still on her knees, her palms lying face-up on her thighs, her back straight with her


    tits all perked-up. We keep the rooms a little on the chillier side, because it can get a bit warm while we


    scene or hand out punishments. It also helps to keep the sub’s


    nipples hard, so it’s easier to y or torture them. I go back into the room and close the blinds from the


    inside before facing the woman on her knees in front of me, “Are you ready to be punished Elā?” “Yes,


    Sir..” wana
