"Now Katy I want to here why you did this shit, the real reason." Mark said crossing his arms and waiting.
Katlyn sighed.
"I was tired of hearing Stacey tell everybody how mean you was and shit, it just got to me, then she said I was scared of you and that the only reason I thought you were so wonderful was I had been a good girl up to now, she said the first time I screwed up I would see how you really was. She said if I wasn't really scared of you I would stay late and have a few drinks. So I did." Katlyn finished.
"Testing me Katlyn?" Mark asked with a serious look on his face.
"No Mark, it wasn't like that, I just…." Katlyn said trailing off.
She knew she was in serous shit when Mark called her Katlyn. Mark had hit the nail on the head. She had drank to see what he was going to do pure and simple, she wanted to see if Stacey was right. The driving thing had just been bad judgment and the fact she had panicked when she realized how late it was. She felt horrible, all this because she had wanted to see what Mark would do how he would react because of something Stacey had said.
"Okay we figured out why ya started drinking, now how about the driving part?" Mark asked pinning her with his steady gaze.
"I panicked when I realized how late it was, I was scared and knew I had to get home." Katlyn said.
"Scared of me?" Mark asked.
"Yea, well no, scared of what you're going to do? Katlyn said.
Mark sat there a minute staring at her. She was hoping he was going to tell her she didn't have nothing to be scared of but no such luck.
"What do you think I'm going to do Katlyn?" Mark asked.
"Well I… I don't know." Katlyn said nervously.
"I'm waiting for an answer and that aint it." Mark said.
Katlyn squirmed in her seat. She wasn't happy with the tone of this conversation.
"What's wrong girl?" Mark asked.
"You're scaring me." Katlyn said.
"Why I'm perfectly calm, I'm not screaming or yelling, considering the stunt ya pulled you're lucky I'm so calm." Mark said.
Katlyn thought she would prefer screaming and yelling to his deadly calm it was unnerving her.
"I… I guess your going to …hit me." Katlyn said looking down at her lap.
"Spank you, ya mean?" Mark asked.
"Uhh yea." Katlyn said.
"Do ya think that's what ya deserve?" Mark asked.
Katlyn looked up at him.
"I can't answer that." Katlyn said
"Why?" Mark asked.
"Cause I would be crazy to." Katlyn mumbled.
Mark continued to stare a hole in her.
"Just punish me and get it over with." Katlyn said
"No." Mark said
Katlyn looked up at him in question..
"I'm not going to grab you kicking and screaming and beat yer ass Katlyn. When you submit to me it will be willingly. You will come to me and ask for your punishment and accept it willing." Mark said.
Katlyn looked at him in shock.
"Mark I cant do that." Katlyn said.
"When you can admit that's what you need and what deep down that's what ya want, you can come to me and ask until then I won't lay a finger on ya." Mark said.
"It's not what I want Mark." Katlyn said.
Mark smiled for a moment.
"Isn't it Katlyn?" Mark said.
Katlyn hated the way Mark seemed to be able to crawl in her mind and dissect it. She felt like he could see in the darkest recesses of her mind and she could hide nothing from him.
"Mark please don't make me do this?" Katlyn said a few tears slipping down her cheeks.
Mark pulled her in his arms and hugged her.
"I love ya girl, but I can't submit for ya, that's something you got ta do for yourself." Mark said.
Katlyn buried her face in his chest loving the smell of him the feel of him.
"Let's go to bed. Get some rest. Ya got a lot of thinking to do tomorrow I imagine." Mark said.
Mark lifted her and laid her in the bed. He climbed in beside her and pulled her in his arms. Katlyn curled into him like a kitten seeking warmth.
"I love you Mark." Katlyn said.
Mark stoked her hair.
"I love ya to girl." Mark said.
Katlyn lay in his arms thinking about things. She didn't know this would be so hard. She wanted Mark just to take control, do what he wanted and for it to be over, but he wasn't letting her off so easy. She sighed and closed her eyes. She couldn't think no more tonight. She drifted off into a uneasy sleep.
