Chapter 16 - 16

"Well, I am certainly not seeing the benefits right now, Lizzie. Honestly, I have half a mind to go find a random guy in a bar and bring him home with me tonight," I spat out folding my arms in front of me like a petulant child.

An image of the last man I had slept with popped into my head causing me to shudder with revulsion. That guy had not been good at anything, all that he really did was flop around like a fish, grunt, stiffen, and then he rolled over and fall asleep. The anger I felt at Reed receded and a new sense of determination filled me immediately. Reed had sparked a fiery lust that was rapidly becoming a full-blown blaze that I was half afraid would burn me in the end, and I could not help but crave more. Although was I completely ready to do it on his terms?

Reed's dominant, almost possessive gaze filled my mind, and I felt my stomach clench again as the barely banked fire in me burned hotter. I found myself snatching the contract towards me so fast I saw Lizzie jump out of the corner of my eye. Viewing that as her cue she got up and walked to the front door.

"I'll leave you to your signing. If you wanna talk more I made Jordan promise me I could be available to you until this whole sordid thing was sorted out," Lizzie said, then winked at me and left.

I laughed softly and got to work.

The top page was the confidentiality agreement. I read through it once again though it seemed pretty much straightforward.

I was not allowed to talk to anyone outside our group about what happened when we ‘scened' as they called it and I was not allowed to name names of those I would meet at the club without their consent. Any violations of those two rules would void this contract and/or result in punishment. I signed that page with no problem, it was understandable after all, and I would hope for nothing less from everyone else.

The next page required me to get a physical to make sure I could withstand some of the more intense play along with making sure I was safe and not pregnant. There was one other section that gave me pause. It was about the requirement for me to go onto birth control if I was not already on it. Wouldn't he use protection? Doesn't he already? I had just had a reevaluation last month and I was up to date on everything including my birth control, so this wasn't a problem for me.

I flipped to the next page and realized it was a report on him and it showed he was disease-free and healthy enough for sexual activity of any kind and it was dated last month as well. I appreciated seeing this was indeed a two-way street here. But it still was a rather intense agreement. I shrugged and signed it, nonetheless. It was intense but the value behind it was reassuring to me.

The next page made me frown as it stated that I was not to see, sleep, or scene with anyone besides my Master, aka Reed, unless I had his explicit permission. Now that I could handle seeing as I wouldn't want to sleep with anyone else anyway. I flipped to the page behind it only to find there was nothing there, it did not make any mention of constraints on Reed's activities. So, what on earth did that mean? Did that mean only I was to be held up to the expectations of faithfulness while he could go fool with any little piece that caught his eye?

"Oh, hell no, I don't fucking think so," I spat out viciously as I threw the papers back on the table.

There was no way in hell I was going to sign any more of this paperwork without making a few things clear to Master ass wipe. I got up and picked up the phone, violently punching in his number and it only had to ring once before he answered.

"I hope this means you've signed and you are begging me to come over," enticed his husky voice over the phone.

I stiffed my spine so I wouldn't melt and give in to the fantasies his voice conjured up in my head, no matter what.

"Does this paper I'm signing state I'm not allowed to sleep with anyone but you without your permission?" I said softly into the phone trying hard to control my anger.

"Yes. But don't worry, little one, I won't ever give you permission. If you wish to sleep with someone else, you can but it would mean the end for us," Reed said reassuringly.

"Okay... but what about you?"

"What about me?" he asked obviously confused.

"Your paper that states you are not allowed to sleep with anyone without my permission," I stated slowly as if he was stupid.

"I don't need one, I am the Master," he said simply.

"There's no fucking way that I am okay with you messing around with other women. If you want to play with me, you need to learn I don't share well with others," I snapped sharply into the phone.

The silence on the other end went on for so long I had to check the screen on my cellphone to make sure he had not hung up.

"Your tone is not appreciated, Amiliana,"

If his soft tone was not enough indication of how pissed he was, his use of my given name sent warning bells through my head. I strongly shoved them aside as my anger became its own separate entity filling me up until I could not care less if I made him blow up on the other end.

"I don't appreciate you asking me to sign something that states I have to ask your permission to sleep with someone else and expect you to not have to give me the same consideration. Believe me, I understand how this is supposed to work; you being in control. But I will not ever be okay with you sleeping with other women while we are together," I said my voice tight with emotions that I was unsuccessfully trying to control.

"That is not your call-" he started to say his voice rising.

"No, but this is!" I said and hit the end button effectively cutting him off.
