for both of them. That’s why punishment is so important. Do you understand that?”
    “I think I do, Madam.”
    “Then explain it to me, pet.”
    “I disrespected you when I yelled and demanded an explanation from you, so you need to show me my place.”
    “That’s not all there’s to it, Mark. When you broke the balance between us, you lost your footing in the process, too. You felt vulnerable and insecure, didn’t you?’
    He th ought for a while before answering me.
    “Yes, I did , Madam.”
    “ Restoring the balance is more than only showing you who is in charge here, then. And it’s definitely not about humiliating you. It’s about giving you your self-confidence back. Always remember this: I may be in charge but you’re not passive,” I paused for a heartbeat. “On the contrary, you’re an active participant. Being submissive is different from being passive because your limits are the boundaries we never cross. I’ll never push you over those limits. And when you know your limits, you know your strengths, too.”
    “Yes, Madam, I understand that.”
    I smiled wickedly at him as I framed his face in my hands and slid up and down his lap, pressing myself down on him.
    “Now, where was I? Oh, yes! I was looking for inspiration ,” I leaned and captured his mouth in my hungry lips.

CHAPTER 3
     
    As I deepened the kiss, I let go of his face, unfastened the top button of his shirt very slowly and pulled at his chest hair. My mouth muffled his moan but the air vibrated inside it as my tongue slid against his. For each button I loosened, I kissed Mark harder. I bit the corner of his mouth, sucked his lower lip. I ran my tongue over his teeth. I played with his sweet tongue. All the time I was doing so, I moved my body up and down his lap, caressing him in the most intimate way with my own eager body. By the time I finished opening his shirt, we were both out of breath and I could feel his member as hard as steel under me. It was throbbing but so was I.
    “I ’ll allow you to keep that erection because I actually enjoy your beautiful shaft,” I smiled against his bruised lips. “But I’ll punish you if you move any other muscle of your heavenly body, my pet. Is that understood?”
    “Yes, Madam.”
    “Good boy,” I pecked him on the lips one more time. “I have an idea.”
    I t ook off the scarf I was wearing as a belt and blindfolded him. I felt his body tensing up under me because he wasn’t fond of not being able to see. But Mark knew he was at fault so he didn’t utter a sound. I nibbled at his ear lobe and his breathing quickened in response but he kept perfectly still. I licked a sensitive spot under his ear before kissing my way down his neck until his collar bone. I grazed it biting him softly without breaking the skin. He shuddered.
    “I know you are uncomfortable, Mark , but I promise it will be worth your while,” I whispered inside his ear, tracing it with my tongue as my fingers stretched and played with his nipples. I got a faint gasp for an answer. “Besides, think of the blindfold not as punishment or a barrier because when you can’t see, all your other senses open up for you.”
    My hands traveled south as I spoke, caressing his smooth chest and stomach. His body reacted eagerly to my touch as I noticed when I grabbed his groin. I had to smile at the hard bulge under my hand since it was all the proof I needed to make my point.
    “I see you agree with that so l et’s move to the bedroom, shall we?”
    I st ood up and pulled him to myself. He stumbled up and walked ahead of me towards my room as I guided him by the waist. We had a few laughs each time he bumped into a wall or tripped over something on the floor. When we got inside the room I helped him climb up on the bed.
    “On your knees . In the center of the bed. Hands behind your head. I don’t want to tie you up. Keep your hands clasped together.”
    He d idn’t say a word and assumed the position as he
