lifted her head without hesitation. “I want my dinner set up in my booth. Make sure the curtains are drawn and I’m not disturbed. Do you understand?”
    “Yes, Sir.”
    “We’ll also need a bottle of white wine. Ask Gianni for a recommendation. Tell him what I’m having for dinner.”
    “Yes, Sir.”
    “I’m headed to Boston this weekend to see Gracie.”
    A small smile played at Roxy’s lips. She and Gracie had been good friends in high school. Roxy was the one who brought Gracie to the club to meet Martin. He would always be in her debt for that.
    “May I speak, Sir?”
    “You may.”
    Arianna let out a quiet gasp.
    “My Master has revoked my phone privileges.” Roxy bowed her head in shame. “I was disobedient.”
    “I heard.”
    “I haven’t been able to speak to Gracie. Can you please tell her I said hi and I miss her?”
    “I will.” Martin tilted Roxy’s chin, holding it between his thumb and fingers. “You disobeyed your Master and spoke to another man. I’m not pleased, but I trust him to punish you fairly. When he is satisfied with your penance, I’ll arrange for you to fly out to see Gracie. I think a visit with her will be beneficial for you. I’ll make arrangements with your Dom.”
    “Thank you, Master M. I’ll do better.”
    Martin released her chin and wiped a stray tear from her cheek. “I’m certain that’s true. Now, go see that my dinner is up to my standards.”
    “Yes, Sir.” Roxy lowered her head, waiting for direction.
    “You’re excused.” Martin turned his attention back to Arianna. “Can I get you something to drink?”
    “They all act that way around you?”
    “It’s the only way they know. It’s what’s expected of them.”
    “I don’t understand how any woman would bow down like that. It’s not normal.”
    “Maybe not for you.” Martin understood Arianna’s position. Most who didn’t participate in a Dominant and submissive relationship didn’t get it.
    “It’s degrading. She can’t use the phone. She’s a grown woman.”
    “Arianna, this is a lifestyle you can’t possibly comprehend because you know nothing about it. A submissive gets just as much as he or she gives. The arrangement they enter into with a Dom is consensual. Roxy is not forced into being here. Her Dom respects and cares for her. She has a very good life.”
    “He punishes her.”
    “When she disobeys. It’s in her contract.”
    “A contract that can’t possibly be enforced in court.”
    “Spoken like a true lawyer.” He finished his scotch. “The contract is to protect them both. It lists what is expected of a sub and what the Dominant’s responsibilities are. They outline hard and soft limits. We create a safe, sane, and consensual environment, and that contract maintains trust between the two parties. As long as it is upheld between the parties involved that’s all that matters.”
    “To each his own, I suppose.” She shrugged. “I’m your real estate attorney. What you do here is none of my business.”
    Then why are you here, kitten?
    “I’m very open, Arianna. If you have questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. People should be educated in my lifestyle. It isn’t as uncommon or bizarre as you may think.” He reached for her hand. “I hope you won’t judge me without getting to know me.”
    “Um, no.” She looked down at their joined hands. He liked the way her cheeks turned colors when he flustered her. “Of course not. This whole environment is different. It’s going to take some getting used to.”
    “I understand.” He ran his thumb over the soft skin of her hand. “If you’d prefer not to meet here anymore—”
    “It’s not a problem.”
    “Very well.” He smiled because as he suspected she wanted to be there. “Will you join me for dinner?”
    Martin couldn’t remember the last time he’d asked a woman to have dinner with him. He usually just summoned a sub when he was in the mood for company. Gracie was the last woman he’d
