CHAPTER FIFTEEN
HEATHER
During dinner, I used the bathroom in Hector’s high-rise because I really had to pee, and on my way back to the dining room, I might’ve peered into Hector’s office because I was bored and desperate not to talk to him about what Eric had said to me yesterday. There was no way that I d ever stoop that low to get him a job.
Once I made sure that he didn’t notice me slip into the room, I gently shut the door behind me, not enough for it to click closed, but enough so he couldn’t just walk in and see me all over his work.
I walked around the office and stared up at the large bookcase fixed on the opposite wall. Books and books and more books and no pictures of family. No sentimental items that he had kept from when he was a child. And definitely no evidence that he had any interest in Evelyn.
Just modern and minimalistic.
After running a hand over my head, I blew out a breath. What was wrong with me? Sane Heather would ve never accused someone of cheating on her even though we weren t even a couple yet. But with Hector my possessiveness came out.
Pursing my lips together, I walked over to his desk. Nothing here either. Except …
A sticky note with my name, stuck on a stack of papers.
I grazed my fingers across the pages and swallowed hard, wondering if I should open it. After all, it did have my name written across the sticky note. That meant that it was for me, and now, my curiosity was piqued.
So, after glancing over my shoulder, I flipped open the document.
Dominant and Submissive Agreement
This contract is entered into by Hector Patton (hereinafter referred to as Master) and Heather Hodge (hereinafter referred to as submissive) on the ______ of November. Master and submissive agree to enter into an exclusive BDSM relationship.
Holy shit, did he have a contract for us already drafted? What happened to him not wanting to collar me because he didn’t think I deserved it? And all this goddamn time, there was already a contract drafted on his desk?!
Safeword
Master and submissive will use ________ (hereinafter referred to as safeword). If the safeword is spoken at any time before, during, or after a sexual act, then Master and submissive will stop performing right away and begin aftercare. For any act where Master or submissive cannot speak verbally, they will consecutively squeeze the other s thumb four times.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of Master include:
To respect submissive s soft and hard limits.
To help submissive improve sexually.
To reward good behavior.
To perform aftercare.
To ensure that each scene is safe for submissive.
To provide housing, meals, and any essential item that submissive might need.
The responsibilities of submissive include:
To refer to Master as Master or Sir.
To ask permission to come.
To follow Master’s directions.
To be loyal to Master.
Neither party shall be allowed to form a sexual relationship with anyone else until the agreement is terminated by either the Master or the submissive. Submissive also agrees that she will surrender full control to Master during the term and will become a full-time submissive and there will be a total power exchange between Master and submissive.
I arched a brow. Full-time submissive? Total power exchange? Who did he think I was? If he had learned anything about me in the past few weeks that we d been chatting online and for the past few years that we d known each other, he d know that I would never allow that.
No way was I letting a man run my life.
If submissive does not obey these rules, Master will enforce a punishment. Punishments will be as mild or as intense as the Master believes is required. Punishments can include, but are not limited to:
Bondage in the form of rope, handcuffs, zip ties, clothing, or any other material.
Physical punishment, including spanking, caning, paddling, or with the use of other tools.
Orgasm control. Master shall control submissive’s orgasms, giving or refusing them.
Public discipline. Submissive might be required to masturbate in public, wear revealing clothing, or let her Master walk her on a leash.
Degradation. Master shall use submissive as a worthless slave if he deems it appropriate and shall require submissive to walk around with her Master’s cum dripping down her thighs, referring to herself as a dirty whore while at Radiant, letting other Dominants write insults on her body, and more.
Saddles.
Heat exploded through my core, and I pressed my thighs together. I didn’t know what he thought was actually a punishment, but it definitely wasn’t any of this. If he did any of these things to me, I’d probably come on the spot.
But what did saddles mean? Weren t those the things someone put on a horse to ride it? And why wasn t there more of an explanation about that one, like all the others? Part of me felt like it should ve been looped in with the physical punishments, but oh well.
I sat on one of the comfy chairs across from his desk, continuing down the page.
If Master deems that it’s required, multiple forms of punishment might happen at once.
Oh? My lips curled into a smirk. What did I have to do to get multiple punishments?
The possibilities raced through my head, and I found myself crossing my legs in an attempt to stop the ache growing in my core. I had promised Hector I wouldn’t touch myself, and I planned to keep that promise so he’d let me come tomorrow.
But what would multiple punishments at once even look like?
Underneath the Punishment section, I read the words soft limits and hard limits with a block of empty space. I chewed on the inside of my cheek and continued reading, nervous because I didn’t even know what I’d put under my limits.
I knew nothing about sex.
Okay, well, I knew some things, but not as much as Hector.
Privacy
This agreement is confidential and may not be shared with anyone, except legal counsel.
Termination
This agreement is legally binding and will last indefinitely or until either party terminates the agreement. Any party can terminate this agreement at any time. However, if either party terminates this agreement, this agreement and the relationship dynamic will remain confidential and private indefinitely.
Indefinitely? I chewed on the inside of my cheek. Hector was thinking long-term and monogamously, and here I was, accusing him of cheating because I was insecure and stressed about that damn software coding class.
Suddenly, someone cleared their throat behind me, and I whipped my head around to see Hector leaning against the doorframe with his hands stuffed into his pockets and his dark eyes fixed on me.
“What are you doing in here, Heather?”
