she became aware of her naked nipples again. Oh, yes; Master knew what she needed.
    The soft tinkle of chimes sounded when Catherine pushed the door open. Stepping inside , her focus darted about to see if she recognized any of the patrons in the waiting room. She didn’t, because there was no one else there. Odd .
    Is that disappointment , Erin?
    Stepping up to the front desk , Catherine was met by a waif of a girl who smiled up at her. She wasn’t the usual clerk, and Catherine had the first hint that this would be unlike any spa day she’d ever had before.
    “ Welcome to Silver Spurs. I’m Paige. How can I help you this morning?” Her eyes sparkled, and her voice was lyrical and comforting. She pushed the lengths of blond hair that framed her face back off her shoulders.
    Catherine found the pale blue shade of Paige’s irises fascinating. They were ethereal. Firming her resolve again, Catherine let her own green eyes meet Paige’s amiable gaze. “Hello, Paige, this girl is Jay–Jayden’s Slut, and she should have an appointment.” Though she would always love the way his name rolled off of her tongue, Catherine stumbled saying Jayden’s name out loud. It wasn’t something she was accustomed to doing when in the role of his submissive.
    The answering grin on Paige ’s face was contagious, and Catherine found herself smiling while Paige looked over the reservation book.
    “ Why, yes—yes, you do.” She shot Catherine a playful wink. “Are we ready to have some fun today?”
    Catherine gave her a tentative nod followed by a quiet , “Sure.”
    Clapping her hands, Paige moved out from behind the desk and over to the front door, where she flipped the sign to ‘CLOSED’ while turning the lock.
    “ If you’ll follow me,” she invited before heading down the hall that led to the treatment rooms.
    Catherine fell in to step, expecting to be led to the changing rooms where she’d be able to put her trench coat into a locker and collect one of the spa’s luxurious jasmine-scented robes. Instead, they walked past the rooms, not stopping until they were further down the hall in front of a wooden door.
    Reaching out to Catherine , Paige began undoing the belt from around Catherine’s waist. “Let me take your coat for you.”
    “ Oh. Well, um . . .” Catherine mumbled, at a loss for what to say. She was trying to figure out how to warn Paige that she was bare beneath the coat, but Paige had already pulled it open and was sliding it down Catherine’s shoulders. She didn’t seem fazed by Catherine’s nudity.
    “ Those shoes are exquisite; the leather looks so supple and yummy! Oh, sorry,” Paige said with a touch of bashfulness. “Where are my manners? I can get carried away sometimes, and I’ve heard so much about you. I’m a little excited that we are getting to meet at last, but we’ll talk more later . . .” Pushing open the door, Paige nodded toward the room. “In you go for your . . . ah, massage. Enjoy!” With that, Paige turned and walked back the way they’d come, leaving Catherine to face whatever awaited her beyond the open door.
    She ’s a strange one, but I like her.
    Crossing over the threshold , Catherine found herself in what appeared to be a massage room. A comfortable-looking padded table with a cushioned head support sat in the center. The far wall housed a perpetual waterfall. Trickling and bubbling, the sound of the water was almost trance-inducing. To her left, another wall was kitted out with cupboards, and behind her, a linen shelf displayed fluffy, gray towels. A picture window overlooking an expanse of gardens filled the remaining wall.
    It seemed she was alone. Unsure what she should be doing , the submissive fell into a standing ready position. Catherine was gambling that anyone she encountered today would be aware of her submissive status, and assuming the position was natural to her. Her chin lowered to the floor while she closed her eyes and let the waterfall sounds
