Katlyn was busy packing for the trip. They were going to leave tonight. They were in North Carolina, so Mark had decided to drive. Katlyn sat down with a heavy sigh. She was worried. She had racked her brain to think what Mark's surprise could be and she had come to one conclusion. Katlyn was no stranger to the internet so she had went to some of the Dom websites now again just to check things out. She was pretty sure Mark was going to collar her. She knew that was common place between Dom's and there Sub's. There was just one problem, she didn't like it one bit. She thought she had willingly turned over every bit of her soul to Mark, but if she didn't want him to collar her, then she was holding something back. In turn she felt guilty for holding back and for putting her pride above Mark. The last few days she had been miserable. Katlyn started crying. She was so confused.
"Baby what's wrong?" Mark said.
He had walked in to find Katlyn crying on the bed.
Katlyn didn't answer, just continued to cry.
Mark sat down and picked her up and set her on his lap.
"Come on baby girl, what is it?" Mark asked.
"Beat me Mark, I deserve it." Katlyn cried pressing her face to his chest.
"Darlin, why do you feel the need to be punished?" Mark asked in a gentle tone.
"I haven't surrendered to you completely; I've been dishonest with you." Katlyn said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Tell me what yer talking about Darlin." Mark said kissing her cheek.
"I figured out what you're going to do, what your surprise is." Katlyn said.
Mark frowned.
"Well tell me." Mark said.
"You're going to collar me." Katlyn said looking down.
"Do what!" Mark said looking at her like she was crazy.
Katlyn didn't answer and kept her gaze averted.
"Katy stay off those damn websites. I define my own relationships not some website. Okay?" Mark said.
Katlyn sat silently still not answering him.
"Katy look at me." Mark said.
Katlyn looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"I have no desire to mark you as my property and flaunt you in public, like a prized mare, that's not my way and you know it. I love you deeply and truly, me and you define our relationship and no one else." Mark said.
"But shouldn't I be willing to do that if I loved you and wasn't holding back?" Katlyn asked.
"No, if it don't feel right to you, then it's not right, not right for us and our relationship." Mark said.
"Really?" Katlyn asked.
"Really." Mark said and kissed the tip of her nose.
"Now young lady how long have you been worrying about this?" Mark asked.
"A couple of days." Katlyn said.
"Why didn't ya come to me and ask me about it?" Mark asked.
"I was ashamed. I felt like I was holding back from you." Katlyn said.
Mark hugged her close and kissed her.
"Don't ever keep anything from me, ya can talk to me about anything girl, Okay?" Mark said.
"Okay." Katlyn said.
"Keeping things from me is the best way I know to earn a trip across my knee." Mark threatened.
Katlyn looked up at him to see if he was serious, but she couldn't tell.
"Don't tense up Katy, you been a real good girl lately." Mark said in that sexy voice of his, the one that turned her into mush.
"Have I?" She asked quietly.
"Uhh huh." Mark said.
"In fact I was thinking maybe you earned a good girl spanking." Mark whispered in her ear.
Katlyn giggled. That was what Mark called those sensual trips across his knee that only gave her pleasure. She was quite fond of them.
"Seems you're not totally against the idea." Mark said.
"Uhh no, in fact I think it's a wonderful idea." Katlyn said.
"Well you just run along and wash yer face, its all red. Then get yer cute little ass back in here, I'll be waiting." Mark said.
Mark watched her run off to the bathroom and smiled. Silly little thing he thought and sat back on the bed to wait.
