Free Part II by Vera Roberts Page A

"The lady will have the filet mignon with prawns and I'll have the swordfish. Thank you." Scott handed over their menus and the waiter left.
     
    Mariana smiled. She never had a man order food for her. It made her feel both special and out of place. "Thank you."
     
    "You're welcome," He placed his hand over hers. “I’m going to teach you the difference between punishment and discipline. I need you to understand when I’m training you to do something and when I’m punishing because you made me upset.”
     
    “Yes, Master. ” Mariana replied.
     
    “When I’m disciplining you, I’m teaching and guiding you more into the Lifestyle . I want you to become a better person. I’ll do it for a while until I don’t have to anymore because you automatically do it yourself.” Scott began.
     
    “May I speak, Master ?” She asked.
     
    “Speak.”
     
    “How can I tell the difference between you disciplining me and you punishing me?”
     
    “When I discipline you, it won’t be painful. In fact, I won’t inflict any pain on you at all. However, when I punish you,” His eyes became cold, “you’ll know it.”
     
    Mariana briefly remembered the time she gave Scott a blow job for two hours. She touched her jaw on the thought of it. She was surprised she was able to chew properly the next day. “Do you expect me to wear a collar?”
     
    Scott had been eyeballing collars for Mariana to wear but wasn't sure if she would be ready to take that next step in their relationship. “I haven’t decided yet.”
     
    Mariana hesitated asking the next question but it was a must to save both parties from uncomfortable situations. “Do we play when I’m on my period?”
     
    “No,” Scott was empathetic, “you’ll get the week off. I don’t want to deal with the bitch submissive.”
     
    “Um, fuck you.” Mariana calmly said.
     
    “See?” Scott pointed towards her. “That’s her right there.”
     
    Mariana rolled her eyes. It amazed her how Scott brought the bitch out without trying. “Are you going to flog me again?”
     
    "Did you like it?"
     
    In all honesty, Mariana liked being flogged. But the strangest thing happened the next morning: she felt more confident than before. "I have to get used to it."
     
    "There will be some things that will take time for your mind and body to process. I don't expect you to like everything immediately. I think there will be some things you'll possibly hate."
     
    Mariana again remembered the two-hour blow job. "You don't say?"
     
    “If you keep running your mouth, I will flog you to shut you up.” He warned. “But I’ll also flog you in discipline.”
     
    Mariana hated the word discipline. It never meant anything pleasurable despite Scott’s warning he wasn’t going to hurt her. “What can I expect from the discipline?”
     
    “You have a lot of untapped potential,” Scott began, “I’m going to bring it out of you. There’ll be a series of lessons to make you a better person.”
     
    “Such as?”
     
    “Well, for starters,” he greeted the server as he brought rolls and butter, “I want all of your bank cards.”
     
    Scott's discipline felt like punishment. “Fuck you!” Mariana protested.
     
    “You said you have a spending problem; I’m here to solve it. You’re getting paid very nicely to clean my home and you have a paid internship. I will see a copy of your bank statement at the beginning of every month so I know how much money you’re spending and what bills you are paying. I’ll give you a stipend every week so you can eat and treat yourself.” He explained.
“And you’re also going to learn how to cook so I don’t have to do it all the time.”
     
    Mariana felt Scott was a bonafide expert on pissing people off. She snatched her hand away from his. “Fuck you!”
     
    “And each time your curse outside our sexual relations, you owe me a dollar. Right now, you’re at three.” Scott smiled. “Help me, help you.”
