JOSEPH

“Damn it! Why the hell is Tenley here? Fuck!”

Why would Stephenie and Bethany bring Tenley here, knowing our background of working together and being practically family? I was going to bring her myself. Now everything’s ruined. What am I supposed to do now?

I caught her reading that book on her phone months back at Layken’s wedding, but I had no idea she was into this type of lifestyle. She’s a virgin, for crying out loud. No, I know she’s not into this type of scene. Stephanie and Bethany have been coming to this club for a few years. Their Doms are co-owners with me as well. We own the only sex club outside of Austin. We guys had this club built way out in BFE. There are no buildings or homes around for several miles, except for mine, of course. They built this club on the thousands of archers of land I purchased and own. I have never seen Tenley anywhere near this place.

“Fuck!” Growling, I banged my head on the door to let some frustration out before I had to go on stage.

My cock’s hard as fuck, and my balls are constricting. I don’t have time to rub one out, which means blue balls are on the horizon. I was in my office watching the video surveillance, trying to get a picture of how busy the club would be tonight, when Tenley walked in with Stephanie and Bethany. My cock has been pulsing ever since. Running into her in the hall wasn’t planned, so now I’m a bloody fucking mess.

Tenley is the sexiest, most outspoken, most amazing woman I have ever known. Seeing her with three-inch stilettos and that short, tight leather dress has my head spinning. I was hypnotized by her striking golden green eyes that pierced into my soul only moments ago. How I would love to tug on her dark brown hair that she had up in a tight ponytail tonight.

I should never have made her come at Layken’s wedding. I let my attraction to her get to my head. I’ve been a fucking mess ever since then. She’s ten years younger than me. I’ve watched her grow up since she was born. For three years since Tenley turned eighteen, it’s taken everything in my power to stay away from her and not touch her. But now, it’s going to be damn near impossible.

Perhaps she will take a shine to my sexual appetite. If not, I might drive myself into a fucking tree. I can’t be any other way. I was introduced to this lifestyle when I was twenty. I’ve been a Dom for nine years. It’s not something I can switch off.

I had to relieve myself, or I wouldn’t be able to do this scene without coming in my pants. Fuck, I’m so late, but that doesn’t matter now. I jogged to the backstage bathroom and locked the door once I saw the coast was clear. This won’t take long. I can already feel pre-cum leaking down my leg.

Almost ripped the zipper of my pants as I pulled them down, thankful that I had gone commando tonight. My cock strained and jumped as it flew out of my pants. I grasped it tightly and fisted my balls as I pumped hard and fast and thought of how nice it would be to come on Tenley’s tight cunt.

“Yes, oh fuck!”

Five jerks were all it took for me to blast off and get some relief. I flushed my seed down the toilet, washed my hands, and splashed cold water on my face so the redness would recede. Why? Why does Tenley have to be here? I raced through the hall and to the stage, where Cami was waiting patiently for me.

I made the mistake of looking out at the crowd and saw Noah talking to Tenley. It took all the self control I could muster, not to leap from the stage and punch his lights out. Tenley is mine, damn it! Mine! I’m glad Cami likes a good flogging because she will get a beating tonight. Tenley better be out there waiting for me when I get done. Just as I commanded her to do. Or she won’t like the outcome.

***

I waited for Tenley out in the hallway, where we ran into each other for fifteen minutes before going to my office. I knew she would not listen to me. I’ll never forgive myself if some other dom gets ahold of her and hurts her. I looked through all the screens and found her on the dance floor of the main hall. I scrambled to find my cell and called Jasper.

“Master Joseph? To what do I owe this honor?”

“My office now!”

***

“Tenley’s here. I need for you to go retrieve her for me. So I don’t go off and do something stupid.”

“Your sister?”

Running a hand down my face, I can't help but groan. “Not exactly. Layken’s family practically adopted me, but she’s not family. It’s a long story, but I can’t have her running around here. She was supposed to have waited for me, then I was going to take her home.”

I glared at the screens and saw from seven different angles that doms were all over, sizing her up. Tenley is a lamb surrounded by jaguars. She is fresh blood for them to sink their teeth into. Fuck!

“Hurry and get down there before some other dom snatches her up. You are the only one I trust right now.”

Usually, I would have reached out to Noah, but I had already caught him with her earlier. Tenley is mine, and I’ll be damned if someone else takes what’s mine.

“Sure thing. I’ll be back with her.”

“Master Jasper, you do not have my permission to touch her in any way other than doing what you need to get her here. Do you understand?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve got your back, man.”

Jasper walked out of my office, and I continued to watch impatiently as I watched men stalking towards her. Sighing with relief when Jasper entered the room. He searched the dance floor, and when he found Tenley, he sent a thumbs up to me as he quickly approached her. Dang, if I didn’t have to sit there and watch them dance for twenty minutes. Jasper was enjoying himself far too much to my liking. I was close to hauling myself down there and punching his brains out.

Relief set in as he took her toward the bar. When I saw them ascending the second flight of stairs, I jumped from my seat and jogged to the door, slamming it open, and came face to face with the both of them.

“Master Jasper, that took long enough. You can leave, I'll handle Tenley from here. Apparently she's gluten for punishment.”

“Sure thing. Good luck, Tenley.” Jasper chuckled, turned, and jogged down the hall.

She nibbled her lip nervously as she stared up at me.

“Why didn’t you wait for me?”

Growling in her face, I gripped her arms tightly. She better have a damn good excuse for not listening to me. Something tells me she doesn’t, though.

“Joseph, get your hands off of me. I came here, hoping to see what this was all about. I wanted to see if it was something I might like to get into. You can’t bully me. I’m twenty-one years old, and I can take care of myself.”

No explanation at all really, just defiance. Things will not bode well for her, tonight. She wants to see what this lifestyle is about; so she'll learn right off the bat what happens when a submissive goes against a dom's commands.

“When you are in my club, I am Master Joseph to you. Either Master Joseph or you can call me, sir.”

“You are not my Dom. I don’t have to abide by what you say. You can’t order me around, Joseph.”

She sneered and pried my hands from her arms. I quickly hauled her over my shoulder and spanked her hard.

“What the fuck, Joseph?!”

“What do you call me when you are in my club?”

I spanked her ass once more, and harder this time. And she yelped and flailed on top of my shoulder.

“I’m not going to call you sir, and I’m sure as hell not going to call you Master Joseph!” Tenley screamed, kicking and pounding at my back. I spanked her again, even harder than before.

“Put me down right now, Joseph!” Tenley commanded, as I punched the button for the elevator and spanked her twice as I waited for the elevator doors to open.

“Call me Joseph one more time. One more time, Tenley and you are going to add to your punishment.”

She went still and didn’t say another word until I reached a room in the dungeon. She wants to see what this lifestyle is all about. Why not start with what happens when a submissive anger’s a Dom?

“Where the hell have you taken me, Joseph? Put me down!”

She thrashed around over my shoulder again. I put her down, ensured she was steady on her feet and spanked her twice more.

“There’s only one word you can say to get out of this! That word is RED! Now shut the hell up and take your punishment. Here you will treat me with respect,” I growled as I turned Tenley around and pushed her toward the couch. “Sit; I’ll be back!”

“But.”

“Not another word Tenley! Sit and wait for me!”

She winced and hung her head as she plopped herself on the sofa. I nodded and went across to retrieve a paddle and slowly made my way back to Tenley as she clenched her fist and glared at me. I could tell that her mind was racing with so many things she wanted to say at this moment.

Her eyes were mixed with a cloud of anger and lust. I wanted to put her over the couch cushions and fuck her into oblivion. However, there would be no fucking tonight. I was going to punish her, take her home, and ban her from ever coming into my club again. It’s my job to protect her, not only from me, but from herself. Tenley is too innocent to be sucked into this lifestyle, and Layken would kill me if he ever found out.

We continued to stare at each other as I whacked the paddle against my hand. She clenched her hands and sucked in a gulp of air, which she held for quite some time before letting it out and closing her eyes for a moment before glaring up at me.

“If you can tell me what you did to earn this punishment and apologize. I might let you out of this punishment. We can be done here, and I’ll take you home.”

“But you said you were going to show me around.”

Furrowing my brows, I banged the paddle in my palm a few times, making her wince.

“You are adding more licks to your punishment, Tenley. This isn’t a game. I’m being lenient with you because you are new to this lifestyle. Now. Are you going to tell me what it is you are being punished for and apologize? Or are we going to move on to your punishment?”
