where a woman like Mrs. Gardner would go dressed like that.
     
    “You really took things wrong the other night, dear. It’s a great compliment that Patrick chose to initiate you. Obviously he sees something in you.” Mrs. Gardner touched her shoulder and Katherine recoiled.
    Actually, the idea that Mr. Gardner saw something in her that told him she would be receptive turned her cold. Was she the kind of girl who wanted to be tied up and spanked and she didn’t even know it? Katherine couldn’t believe that.
    “Can I ask you something, Mrs. Gardner?”
    “Of course dear, but please, I feel you can call me Tara now. After all, we’re sort of like soul sisters now.”
    Katherine did not see her point at all and just dismissed it. They were in the living room and she tossed her bag down on the couch while standing as far away from Mrs. Gardner as the room would allow. “Didn’t it bother you, seeing Mr. Gardner touch me like that? I mean, weren’t you jealous?”
    “You really don’t understand yet, do you? If it pleases my master to have you, then it pleases me.” Katherine was shocked by her matter-of-fact tone. “It is not my place to be jealous. You are a sexy young woman, Katherine. I can understand why he would want you and I always want my master to have what he wants. That’s why I made sure to have you here tonight.”
     “Where are the boys?” Katherine asked, scared.
    “They are at my parents’ for the evening.”
    “I thought you and Mr. Gardner were going out for a special evening tonight and needed a babysitter.”
    “We are planning a special night, but we’re not going out.”
    “Well, if you’re staying in and the boys aren’t here, I guess you don’t need me. I’ll be heading on out,” Katherine offered hopefully.
    “You’re part of the master’s plans, Kitty. You can’t leave.”
    The change from Katherine to Kitty was symbolic. Katherine knew it was starting already. She got that the couple’s plans included her, but the strange couple couldn’t make her stay—not this time. How would they blackmail her this time? “You can’t keep me here.”
    “No, you’re right, we would never force you to do anything.”
    What do they think last time was about? Katherine wondered.
    “If you try to leave Patrick is going to be very cross. I can’t go back up there and tell him I let you go.”
    “He doesn’t hurt you, does he?” Katherine wondered if the Gardners went beyond just playing at violence.
    “No, he would never hurt me, but he will punish me if you leave. If you want to go, you have to go upstairs and tell him yourself.”
    Katherine knew that turning around and running out the door was the right thing to do, but as she looked into Mrs. Gardner’s pleading blue eyes she decided that she could handle going upstairs for just a moment. Besides, she wanted to tell Mr. Gardner she was leaving to his face. She didn’t like him sending his wife to do his dirty work.
    Mrs. Gardner led her upstairs to the master bedroom, where her husband was waiting, sitting in an armchair in the corner. The door to their playroom was open and the lights were on. Katherine purposely avoided looking inside. While his wife was dressed for seduction, Mr. Gardner was just wearing chinos and a dark blue, buttoned shirt. Katherine's heart skipped a beat when Mrs. Gardner closed the bedroom door behind her and then joined Mr. Gardner. There was a black leather leash coiled in Mr. Gardner’s lap and when Mrs. Gardner knelt beside the chair he snapped it to the ring on her collar. Katherine realized she should have never come upstairs.
    “Kitty, did you really think you could avoid me forever? I am accustomed to getting what I want,” Mr. Gardner said sternly.
    “I hate to disappoint you, but I don’t plan on staying.”
    “Then why are you up here? Why didn’t you just leave?”
    “Because I wanted to tell you to your face that whatever plans you have for me aren’t going to happen. The
