A/N: I know the last two chapters were short. I'm sorry. This one probably will be, too. I just have to explain how Kurt and Blaine got into the relationship before I can actually fill the prompt. Please just hang in there with me.


Kurt hadn't expected B to get back to him so quick. He had been in the middle of making dinner when his phone dinged. He checked the email as the water boiled. It was shocking to say the least. B thought he was… a woman. That was actually really unnerving. He knew B was a male, his profile had said. He wondered, though, if B hadn't seen the part where he was specified as male as well. He knew this couldn't be good. A sub needs dominance, someone in control, someone who can take care of them, someone they can trust. But he is just so desperate. He needs to dominate and he knows that B will be a quick fix to all his crazy right now. Plus, it's not like he and B will ever enter anything other than a temporary claim, if they enter one at all. So, that thinking eases his guilt when he sends back a response.

B, just call me K for now. I'll teach you proper etiquette if that's what you want. I want you know that you are in control of how far this goes. If you only want to learn the basics without ever meeting, that's okay. If you want to meet tomorrow and have me teach you how to wade off your orgasm, that's okay, too. Or, I can teach you how to hold your orgasm, how to become adjusted to kneeling for long times, how to adjust to spankings/floggings/whippings, and how to serve all from behind my computer screen. Whatever you need, I'm here to give to you.

He knew it was a bad idea. He couldn't help it, though. Speaking as a Dom always made him feel better, even if it was just through messages. He hoped that B would want him to teach all from behind the computer screen, because it would make for an awkward conversation if they met. He set the phone down and turned back to his water, which was still about the same as it was before he turned to his phone.

About ten minutes later, Kurt receives another response from B. Something inside him fluttered with excitement as he picked up his discarded phone.

K,

Are you sure it's okay for me to just refer to you as K? I don't want to disrespect you in any way. As an answer to your question, I honestly don't know what I want. I want to learn, sure, but I can't take a lot right now. I really want to be eased into the lifestyle. I'm inexperienced and I've never really been exposed to BDSM. I know it's a lot to ask: you training me and then on top of it having to "ease me into the lifestyle" as well. It's not fair, but it's something I really need. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask for things I need or not. I know you said I have all the control here, I just don't know how far that control really goes, being the sub and all.

-B

B, it's completely fine for you to call me K. If I'm the one telling you to do it, then you don't question. Lesson number one. Unless you are already in a claim—a claim is when two parties knowingly enter a TPE or something of the sort—you have to trust what the Dom you're talking to is tell you. If they tell you to call them something, you call them that. When you're in a claim, you only follow the rules your Dom has set up. You still need to be respectful of the other Dom, of course, but still. Only follow the rules set by your Dom.

Lesson number two/D/s secret: the subs hold all the power. They're the ones who are giving up their control. They get to decide how much and when they want to give up. They also set the pace of the whole relationship. You are in control. If you need something, I need you to always tell me. It's the only way this training can work.

Never feel bad about needing something. It's okay to want more/less from your Dom.
