Warning: There may be depictions of sometimes-messy sexual or mildly violent situations. This story will include a lot of sex, a multitude of fetishes (nothing too extreme), female domination, mature conversations, and reluctance situations.

A/N: This originally was Chapter 14 of the "iLifestyle" series. I decided to break the "iLifestyle" book into several smaller books. "iScene" is book two of the series, and this is where I am going to file chapters, mostly one-shots, that don't really fit in with the other books of this series.

A/N: This chapter is the first "Domme training" class between Mrs. Benson and Carly. Some of the information Mrs. Benson talks about came from; "The Difference between S/M and Abuse," a document that was created from the policy workshop that took place at the Leather Leadership Conference (LLC) in April 1997.

Previously - From "iLifestyle," Sam hogtying Freddie at school became the trigger that brought out Carly's erotic side and for her to see Freddie as more than her best guy friend. During that weekend, Carly, Sam, and Freddie had several erotic/flirtatious/sensual experiences. Freddie tells Carly and Sam that he is a nudist and is very submissive to women, and they talked about this type of lifestyle. Freddie asked Carly to be his Domme, and she said yes. Carly asks Spencer to mentor Freddie in the art of sex. Mrs. Benson, Carly, and Freddie had Sunday lunch to explain Carly/Freddie Dominance/submissive relationship to Spencer. Spencer and Mrs. Benson had the sex talk with Carly and Freddie. Mrs. Benson is teaching Carly on how to be a Domme. This chapter is the first of those meetings, and is set on the Wednesday after the "iLifestyle" weekend.

Relationship Day 5

FROM: Mrs. Benson MESSAGE: Come over to my apartment to start your Domme training.

I walk over to Mrs. Benson's apartment. I look down at my clothes and brush imaginary dust off my button-down shirt. I double check the buttons, and give my jean-skirt, with its tattered hemline, a little downward tug. I should have changed my flip-flops for better looking shoes, too late now. "Domme Training," I ask myself as I knock on the Benson's door.

The door opens, "Good evening Carly. Come in, take your shoes off, and have a seat on the couch." Mrs. Benson is wearing an oversize white cardigan with contrasting black along the long sleeves and pockets, over a pullover with a spring flower horizontal striped design, and black straight leg pull-on pants and no shoes.

"Thank you Mrs. Benson," I notice she is carrying a notepad with a page of notes, "is Freddie around?" I kick my flip-flops off.

"He is with Spencer doing guy stuff," with guy stuff in finger quotes.

I suppress my giggles, as we sit down on the couch. They are probably out buying condoms and talking about sex.

"Last weekend we started talking about the relationship you and my son are getting into. I have spent the last few evening working to expand on those ideas. This evening we will start with the basic principles of a Dominance/submissive relationship."

I let out a little sigh of relief, "I thought we were going to continue the sex talk, even though Freddie and I still have not done anything like that."

"No. Spencer and I trust you to do what is right for the two of you. Don't forget your gynecological exam. I pulled in a favor to get it scheduled for this Saturday."

"Well … thank you. This way, I want miss any school."

"That's right. Your education is very important." Mrs. Benson looks at her notes, "The first and most important rule is the philosophy of Safe, Sane, and Consensual. To be safe, you have to be knowledgeable about the techniques and safety concerns involved in what you are doing. A Domme worth playing with is safe. She is aware of the damage she can cause a submissive and does her best to prevent harm. I also signed you up for first-aid classes at the hospital just in case a scene gets out of control. Of course, sane means you know the difference between what happens in the scene may have real world consequences. Each of you must be aware of the possible risks, mentally, physically, and socially. Consensual means you respect the mental or physical limits of the other."

I give a little smile, "Safe, Sane, and Consensual sounds like a good rule in any relationship." After watching Mrs. Benson for the last few years, over-safe, insane, and non-consensual would be more accurate for her.

"Last Sunday, I started talking about control. A good Domme is always in control of herself. Carly, if you do lose your temper, just walk away until you regain control. Don't rant, nag, or whine because this shows a lack of control. After all, how can a Domme control her sub if she can't control herself? If you are going to control a person, know your scene techniques. Know how to use your toys. Test your toys before using them. Don't think that as a Domme, being on the receiving end to learn the effects of your toys will diminish you. You will be directing the scene from start to finish, and you will be held responsible if something goes wrong. During the scene, you will take away all distractions and decisions by telling him what you want and what needs you want him to fulfill, and hopefully you and him can achieve headspace."

"What do you mean by headspace?"

"Headspace may be the chemical effect of the endorphins from the physical stimulation experienced during the scene, or a kind of emotional response that happens during the scene. It's a little bit of getting out of your own head for awhile."

"Sort of like a natural high."

"Yes, and about planning the scene itself. A good Domme puts time, energy, and creativity in her scenes. She directs a scene from start to finish. Don't be satisfied playing the same games over and over, and go to the extra length to come up with new and different ideas."

"The scene is where Freddie and I can do, within reason, just about anything with each other."

"Yes. Always remember, the best Domme knows she is human. You will make mistakes, but be quick to apologize. You won't be any less Domme because of an apology. Realize that others will make mistakes, and even though you may have to punish him for his mistake, accept his apology. Remember, he is a human being. There will be times when one, or neither of you are in the mood, you or him had a bad day at school or work, you may have cramps, the kids are upset about something, whatever. Be loving, or at least cordial, to each other. Cuddle, cook together, and talk about what's wrong. I have watched you, and you care about others. You usually take the time to listen and respond to the needs of others."

I smile, "There is more to a relationship than the time we spent together along. Freddie and I have our social lives at school, we work together on the web show with Sam, and we hang out with our other friends."

Mrs. Benson nods, "A good well balanced social life is important. A Domme respects herself and others. Always present yourself in the best possible light, and expect the same from Freddie. Make sure other's respect him! Humiliation and depersonalization may be great in a scene, but can quickly become abuse. Remember when I talked about domineering jerks getting physically abusive."

"Yeah," its Sam bashing time, "but Sam now knows her bad behavior toward Freddie will not be tolerated anymore and she will be punished if she messes with Freddie again."

"Freddie told me about Friday's spankings. For reasons I don't understand, he is very protective of Sam. You know I am very protective of Freddie and I know he does not tell me everything. Therefore, I had to find out about Sam's behavior by other means. Before he learned how to set up network security, I was able to read his electronic journals and he keeps very detail records. Freddie has described Sam as tomboyish, strong willed, and aggressive. But a lot of her behavior issues is that she will assert her own rights at the expense of others, she engages in inappropriate outbursts or badly overreacts, she tends to humiliate others, and she uses the verbal behavior of interrupting others, using threats, name calling, demands, and put-downs to get her way. Carly, is that an accurate description of Sam?"

"Well…"

"Don't bullshit me Carly! I have been watching you and her since the you met my son in the 6th grade."

"OK. She is like that to most other people."

"And she is like that most of the time toward Freddie, and it will end, or I will end her. Understand!"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"My final note for tonight is; do not assume that you being his Domme makes you special. You make yourself special by being a good person. This does not mean 'Don't be a sadist,' it means knowing when to act like a cruel Goddess, and when to be a living, breathing human, possibly with halitosis and an ugly wart. The strongest relationships are the ones built on love and respect. Relationships based on lust and desires don't last. We will have another talk next Wednesday."

Coming next Friday: I am waiting in Freddie's bedroom, and when he walks in, he freezes when he saw me sitting on his bed.

A/N:

Hi, cameddie. Since Friday is my day off, I can give the chapter a good last hard look before posting. I also have time to look around some of the forums, do research, and work on other chapters. I just finished working on the day after Carly and Freddie have sex. It will be posted on 27 May 2011.

Hi, pink-strawberry-lemonade. It looks like this is your first review of my story, and thank you for reviewing. I am trying to incorporate story ideas I haven't seen in many other iCarly FanFiction. You should read some of my first drafts I sent to my Beta Reader. iLive iBreathe iCarly sent me some nasty e-mails about all the mistakes I made. I have only been on Creddie Fan for only a few weeks.

Hi, Boris Yeltsin. Carly needs a mentor and Mrs. Benson is the only other woman available and I had to make her OOC to support the relationship between Carly and Freddie. Currently, there is one other chapter where she is a major character. If I make some changes to the future timeline, she may become more important.
