his head. “Wait here. I’ve got something to help put you in a more submissive mindset.” He returned a moment later with a short length of chain that had an ankle cuff on either end.
He placed the cuffs on Alex’s slender ankles. She looked very sexy in the chains and Daniel’s cock stirred with appreciation. He had half a mind to add high heels for an especially erotic look but decided against it her first day back.
Instead he said briskly, “Being hobbled while you work will slow you down but at the same time it will remind you of your place.” Alex took a few uncertain steps and frowned. Daniel raised an eyebrow. “You have a problem with your punishment?”
Alex swallowed and shook her head. “No. No, Sir.” She took the offered bucket. “Thank you for punishing me, Sir.”
“You’re welcome.” He waited until she had hobbled her way out of the room to smile.

Liam stepped inside and shut the door behind him. His two blond subs were kneeling up, knees spread, palms turned upward on their thighs, eyes on the floor. Alex looked so small next to broad, strong Daniel. Liam controlled an urge to scoop her up into his arms and cover her with kisses, surprised at how very glad he was to see her.
He turned his gaze to his lover, whose cock was jutting invitingly toward him. Setting down his briefcase, he walked over to Daniel and tapped his shoulder. At this signal Daniel rose and moved into Liam’s arms. He held him close, running his hands over Daniel’s bare back and reaching lower to cup his muscular ass.
They kissed briefly and separated. Daniel’s cock remained fully erect but he spoke in a soft, respectful tone. “Did you have a good day, Sir?”
“Yes. Busy but productive. How about you?”
“It went well. I have a rack of lamb roasting in the oven and I made some fresh peach cobbler. Alex was helpful with the chores.”
Liam looked toward the kneeling girl with a knowing smile. He’d been both pleased and amused when Daniel called him, bubbling over with barely suppressed excitement to say she’d returned to them while at the same time telling him she’d come without permission, just as he’d feared she would.
Liam had reminded him she’d only had a week’s training and was very highly sexed. “I’ll stop by the Dungeon Boutique and pick up a chastity belt,” he had suggested. “Take the temptation away from her altogether.”
Daniel had been enthusiastic. “I like that idea. No more constantly checking on her to make sure her hands didn’t end up where they shouldn’t be. And it would heighten her sense of submissive vulnerability—a constant reminder she’s owned.” They decided not to mention their plan to Alex yet.
Liam turned toward the young woman and knelt in front of her, bringing his face close to hers. To her credit she didn’t look up or move. She smelled of soap and he saw the tips of her hair were still wet from a recent shower.
He pulled on her right nipple and twisted it, watching her reaction—a slight wince and the quick inhalation of breath. With his other hand, he touched her smooth labia, sliding his finger between them to the small, tight tunnel, predictably slick with her juices. She was unable to control the small shudder he felt ripple through her body. His cock uncoiled and rose like a snake but he paid it no mind—for the moment.
“Welcome back, Alex.” He kissed her cheek.
Alex raised her gaze to meet his and he noticed, not for the first time, the gold flecks in her very green eyes. “Thank you, Sir.” A wide smile burst over her face.
Liam assumed a stern tone. “Daniel tells me you had to be punished the minute you got here.”
The smile fell away. “Yes, Sir.”
“Tell me.”
She pressed her lips together and he recalled her second day there when Daniel found her masturbating while weeding the flowerbeds. Daniel had soundly punished her. When Liam came home, he asked for a full accounting. She’d balked, retorting in a
