Thank you to all those who gave me a review. ;-D MUAH!!!

The polls were so, so very, very close, but Alice won one by 1 vote.

Some of you are not fond of rehash. Just have to say some things are better when served a different way, different day.

APOV

"Who were you talking to on the phone last night?" Bella asked.

"I don't know. The last person that called was Edward. Apparently I talked to him for…" I looked at the phone and scrolled to the settings, "37 minutes."

"You talked to Edward for 37 minutes, about what?"

"I have no freaking clue. I thought I let his call go to voice mail, but I guess he must have called back later." I tried to recount the last few hours. I made a mental list inside my head.

1. Dark Whisper, met Masters Hot Bitch and Jasper ~ SQUEE!! 2. Chewed out by Bella, made it up to her 3. Phone Call from Edward let it go to voicemail 4. Went bedroom checked and responded to email 5. Phone rang again got another phone call from…

"That's what happened. I heard my phone ring again during the middle of the night while I checked my email last night. I had to come out here to get it, but because it was so late I guess I must have fallen asleep with him on the phone, out here."

I stretched trying to remove some of the kinks that had formed in my back, trying to recall even a little bit of what I could have talked to Edward about and continued to draw a blank. I gave up after a few minutes. "I'm going to go take a shower."

"Alice," Bella started, but then her cell phone started to ring. "Never mind," She shook her head as she left to go answer it.

I stepped into the bathroom and closed the door. My body heated remembering the erotic dream that I had just woken from moments earlier. I removed my shirt and bra.

"Alice, I have an unexpected meeting I must attend. You better put a move on things if you want to be on time for you appointment."

"Alright!" I shouted through the closed door like a petulant child. I quickly got into the shower and washed away all the physical traces of last night from my body. The experience itself was forever embedded in my mind.

My appointment with Dr. Marcus was uneventful. We did the usual blood work and exams. This was all done in one self-contained facility. Dr. Marcus said everything looked well, but wouldn't know until next week.

I checked my voice mail and discovered that Jasper, not Edward, left me 2 messages. The first message was from last night. It was discombobulated and quirky. It almost sounded as if he was nervous. The second one, left today while I was being examined, was shorter, authoritative with a promise to call me later.

That's odd.

I cocked my head to the side as I scrolled through my recent call list. I knew I wouldn't see Jasper's from today. Dr. Marcus requested that I turned off my phone while I was in his office and I complied, but, I didn't see any unknown numbers archived I just saw Edward's number and calls that I had taken prior to that.

Hmm…

***

Four hours later I returned home, Bella still wasn't back from her meeting. I took this time, to immerse myself, with the documents that were sent over earlier. I committed to memory my safe words, reviewed the other instructions and BDSM etiquette for subs.

Never look your Dom directly in the eyes unless requested to do so. That seems easy enough.

Remain silent unless requested to speak. I think I can do that.

Responses should include 'if it pleases you or not unless it pleases you, master or mistress. That shouldn't be too hard.

Hard Limits will be respected and soft limits will be tested and pushed. Good to know.

Punishments are just that punishments; not designed to be pleasant for the Dom or the sub. Hate them but necessary.

There's so much information to try to remember. I completed the requested documents and placed them in the pre-paid envelope went downstairs and mailed them off.

The weekend flew by and even though I didn't want to, I had to return to the land of the working. Monday came and went and Bella and I didn't get a chance to reconnect. She was holed up in her room when I returned from work and when we did see each other, it was only in passing.

I tried to talk to her a couple of times, but each time I knocked on her closed bedroom door she responded "Busy."

I tested the knob of her door also and found that she kept her door locked as well. "Bella," I whined.

"Busy," was her only reply.

There were no calls or messages from Jasper although I kept my phone by my side all day and all night and took to sleeping with it under my pillow out of fear I would miss his call.

By the time Tuesday morning arrived, I started to grow despondent waiting for his call. I decided to stop obsessing over it. He'd call when he's ready.

Going to my boutique, Wonderland, helped take my mind off of things as well as lifted my spirits. My eclectic designs and my free-spirited consumers were a perfect match. By the time noon came, a steady flow of customers kept me busy.

I had just finished ringing up a customer when my phone rang. "Thank you and have a nice day," I tore off her receipt and handed it and her items to her.

"Wonderland, this is Alice may I help you?" I answered on the third ring.

"Kitten?" the voice on the other end purred. Master Jasper called back.

Omigod, omigod, omigod. I couldn't stop myself from bouncing up and down.

Keep it together, Alice. My whole body heated with desire merely hearing the sound of his voice. His southern twang made me weak in the knees.

Okay Alice. Stop. Breathe, and respond.

"Yes Sir?" I answered just as I practiced all weekend long.

"I would like to meet with you today at 5:30 pm at your boutique."

Yea!! He wants to see me. I couldn't control my excitement as the nervous energy that I had just squashed came back with renewed ferocity.

Can I refuse him?

Seriously Alice, do you really want to?

HELL NO!!

I took a calming breath. My response came out barely higher than a husky whisper, "If it pleases you, Sir."

"Kitten," He drawled. "There's one more thing."

I whimpered, "Sir?" I held my breath in expectancy and a slow burn started to build between my legs as I waited in anticipation of his next words.

"I want you to take your panties off."

The phone slipped from my grasp and I had to catch it before it hit the counter.

Did I hear him correctly? Did he just tell me to take off my panties?

"Sir?"

"Right now!" He added with authority.

His two word command caused my body to tremble and my arousal instantly soaked my panties. I stepped out of them, at the register, without another moment's hesitation. The cool air that greeted my wet pussy caused me to moan in pleasure. "Yes Sir."

At first I was slightly self-conscious walking around my shop without underwear on. I had to make sure that whenever I had to pick something off of the floor I bent at the knees instead of at the waist. I never realized how often I broke that cardinal female etiquette rule in the past until today. But as the day wore on, I was floating on air and I felt sexy, free, powerful and primal all at the same time. I am sure this is what Master Jasper wanted all along.

I wonder what he has in store. Will he punish me now or wait until we meet again Friday.

My body thrummed like a tightly coiled violin string, knowing that he was on his way. I assisted my customers with their purchases; and despite any complaints or problems they had, I couldn't remove the stupid grin that was plastered on my face even if I wanted to.

I had just brought out new merchandise from the stock room, and was preparing it for display, when I heard the bell above the door ring. My back was turned to him, but I knew it was him when I looked down at my watch. The face read 5:30 on the dot.

On time.

I am not sure why I was surprised; I knew he was coming. I stopped what I was doing, and turned around. He stopped briefly at the door and I used this opportunity to steal a quick peek at him before quickly averting my eyes downward.

I committed all that I saw to memory. He was dressed in an all black. I knew his suit had to have been tailored, and not something off the rack, the way it molded to his perfectly sculpted body. His shirt was crisp and opened at the neck, and I longed to place kisses all along the exposed expanse of his throat and neck. My mouth pooled with excess saliva as I stared at him hungrily. I had to swallow a couple of times to keep from drooling.

I stood patiently, next to a folding table and watched his feet as he walked towards me. My heart pounded in my chest as time seemed to move in slow motion around me.

Master Jasper came up to me and grabbed my chin and tilted it up. His eyes darkened from cool gray to dark steel. I couldn't help but lean my body into his, and close my eyes, as I waited for what I hoped to be a kiss from his lips.

Jasper stepped back and released my face, "Kitten I think you forget your place."

My eyes sprang open.

Denied.

I wanted to whine, but remained silent. I was miffed a little bit but respected his decision. Instead, I pouted and frowned in disappointment.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile as he bear witness to my frustration, "Are we alone?"

I knew we were, as I looked around the store and I saw no one there. I went back to the open changing room area, in the back of the store, just to make sure.

Master Jasper followed me back and sat down in one of the dark chocolate brown leather chairs that was off to the right.

I checked each of the three changing rooms, after proving that they were empty and we were indeed alone in the store, I did a quick pirouette.

"On your knees Kitten and come to me."

Did he expect me to crawl?

"Now!" He snapped his fingers and pointed to a spot on the floor, next to him, on the right hand side.

Fuck, he is so sexy when he's demanding. I fell to my knees and crawled, as sexily as I knew how, to him on all fours.

Once I reached the place he designated, Master Jasper yanked my skirt up and spanked me sharply on the left ass cheek twice. "Never, make me tell you more than once."

Even though it wasn't overly painful, it stung like hell, and he got his point across.

"Understand?" He smacked the right side two times in quick succession before I had the chance to recover. "Answer me."

"Yes master." I heaved out, struggling for breath, tears and my arousal leaked from my body.

He rubbed my cheeks until the sting dulled to a reasonable ache.

I can't believe I'm getting turned on by this.

"Stand," he ordered in his smooth as silk voice and immediately I complied.

"You learn quickly." I could hear the smile in his voice and I couldn't tell whether or it was a back handed compliment or not.

"From now on when you are ordered to stand I want your hands clasped behind your back, you head bowed, and your legs spread shoulder length apart," he informed me.

Every step that he listed I followed to the exact detail.

"Excellent." I smiled knowing he was pleased.

"Let me see if you did what I asked."

I almost snorted. Duh, you just spanked my bare ass.

As if hearing my thoughts, "Humor me."

His right hand slowly caressed my left knee. It both tickled and was strangely erotic at the same time. My nipples constricted rigidly.

I knew, from the materials that were sent to the apartment over the weekend, I was to remain silent. It took a great deal of effort to stifle the moan that threatened to come out as his hand skimmed further up my leg. To help myself, I sucked my bottom lip into my mouth.

His pace was agonizingly slow. My heartbeat quickened and my breaths were so short I felt like I was going to have an asthma attack, just waiting for him to reach my juncture. My body swayed as I locked my knees.

He stopped his advancement and I think my heart temporarily stopped as well.

"You need to relax, okay?"

I nodded my head mutely. My downward cast eyes shifted sideways and I realized, from the massive bulge in Master Jasper's tailored black slacks, that his efforts were turning him on as much as me. I could feel another wave of moisture trickle out of me.

His hand disappeared under my skirt and grazed the inside of my upper thighs making me tremble. His fingers flitted across my bare pussy before they found purchase on my clit and he promptly pinched it. I bit my bottom lip so hard I drew blood.

"Feels good doesn't it Kitten?" He asked, smacking my pussy hard before he stood up.

This time I couldn't stop the whimper of pure unadulterated ecstasy that slid out between my lips.

He grabbed me by the upper arm and walked me over to a large the table that I used for folding clothes in the changing area. He raised my skirt and exposed my sopping wet pussy; dripping as if weeping in need of release. He continued to play and stroke me; but it was never enough.

I continued to whimper.

"Silence kitten, not a word." He unzipped my skirt and let it fall into a pool of fabric at my feet. He took my shirt off, easily sliding the buttons through the holes. He turned me around so that I was facing the table and he unhooked my bra. He tugged slightly on my hands until I unclasped them and the rest of my clothes joined my skirt on the ground. The only things left on were my heels.

"Step out of them, fold them up and place your clothes on the table." He ordered.

I quickly complied with his request before returning to my earlier position.

He took a scarf from off of the display stand that centered the table and tied my hands behind my back.

"This is a lesson in trust. You do trust me, Kitten, don't you?" he purred into my ear, licked the entire length of the lobe before sucking it into his mouth. He released it and blew cool air over it and my body shivered.

I numbly nodded my head again.

Pleased at my response, he took a second scarf off of the stand and wrapped it securely around my eyes; enveloping me in darkness.

I felt feather light touches all over me. My knees began to tremble and shake, trying to figure out where his next touch would be.

"Does it excite you knowing that anyone can come in here and see you naked and on display for me, kitten?" His tone had a slight edge to it.

Heaven help me but I was incredibly turned on. The thought of getting caught made my entire body flush with desire. Unabashed I bobbed my head up and down at his question.

"Letting me do this," he tweaked my nipple and I jumped.

"And this," he continued, as he fisted his hand in my hair, pulled my head to the side, and used his tongue to lick his way up the curve of my shoulder, to the crook of my neck , where he placed three lingering kisses before biting, than licking and sucking the same spot.

Fuck!

"Or this," he added and I felt him use his open hand to graze down my torso stopping a few inches below my belly button. His palm pushed down on the fleshy part of my mound dangerously close to where I wanted him to be. I could feel his body pressing up against mine and I had to will my fingers not to reach out and grab him.

He moved his hand around me across the swells of my ass checks and to the small of my back. His free had touched my right shoulder blade and together they pushed me forward until my chest was lying flat against the table.

Suddenly, he stopped and moved away from me.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I heard a slight movement and turned my head in the direction of the sound.

I heard him move again and heard what I thought was a zipper being pulled down.

Yes!!

I couldn't tell where he was until I felt his hot breath blowing on my clit. My bundle of nerves was inflamed from need. He took a playful nip at my ass.

"Kitten, your body is so hot, so wet and ready for me to take. Your pussy is glistening." I felt his fingers spread my lips apart but he did not touch me further.

I heard another movement; and next thing I knew Master Jasper was teasing me with the head of his dick. He made swirling motions around the entrance of my pussy. He would stick the head of his dick in and pull out. I wanted to thrust back on him but his arm held me pinned down to the table denying me. I felt like screaming at him.

The dirty rotten bastard, I hated him! But Master Jasper told me to be silent but I needed my release! My stomach was tight and I was so close, if he would only push his dick all the way in.

I had never felt like this and it was pure agony. Sexual yearning and pure lust raged through me and threatened to boil over. How could he keep me wound up like this? I wanted to kick out my legs.

I will beg him if I can get what I so desperately want.

"Do it Master Jasper, do it please." I begged and was rewarded with a hard whack on my ass.

I needed to be hit but not with his hand and not on my ass.

"Please what Kitten?"

"Fuck me, take me; make me yours."

"Ah kitten," he laughed from behind me. "You are mine, all of you, even your orgasms."

He resumed teasing me with the head of his dick, sliding it up and down my pussy. He was bringing me so close to the brink that I was screaming out and wiggling against the table. I continued to beg and plead for my release to no avail.

"I'll be good I promise. Just please, please, please, don't leave me like this."

He pulled back a third time, and I heard him zip himself up. I began to cry behind my makeshift blindfold.

"Kitten, I told you to be silent. I do not reward bad behavior. I am in control." He smacked my ass hard and it caused me to yelp in pain.

He pulled me back up into a standing position.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"We are done for today." He said with finality.

But, but…

He tugged one time on the scarf that bound my wrists and it slid off effortlessly. He rubbed each one gingerly before he untied the scarf that was around my eyes. The light momentarily blinded me. The tears continue to flow.

"Shh, Kitten," Master Jasper consoled me as he cupped my face. My eyes closed involuntarily as I could not take his intensity of his stare. He used his thumbs to wipe the moisture that had collected beneath my eyes and I felt him lean in and kissed my eyes. "This is all a part of the training. Nothing can be rushed."

"Get your clothes and come with me." He placed scissors into a bag that I did not see him with earlier and tucked it under his arm.

He led me into the stockroom and to the employee restroom. He lined the toilet lid with paper towels and motioned for me to sit down.

I sat down and placed my clothes in my lap.

He turned on the water and opened the bag. He pulled out a washcloth and wet it under the stream before wringing it out. He wiped my face. "You did well. There is so much more you are going to experience with me. You're going to learn more about yourself and your body and do things you didn't think possible. And it's not always going to end the way you want it to. Understand?"

I nodded my head.

"Good, stand." He held out his hand to assist me and I accepted it. He ran the cloth underneath the water again and wiped my body down.

"Kitten. From now on, no masturbating unless you are given permission to do so."

What the fuck. You mean I'm going to have to stay keyed up like this until Friday?

"I trust you will obey me."

I grimaced but nodded my head again.

He rung out the cloth and folded it over the basin. He opened the bag and pulled out body oil and proceeded to rub me down. Hmm. I smelled chamomile and lavendar.

As soon as he was done, he packed it back into the bag. "Get dress and I'll meet you out front."

He left me in the restroom and I did as directed.

He was waiting at the counter when I emerged.

"I would like to make a purchase." He held up the two scarves that he used on me and smiled a disarmingly wicked smile.

So we're back to being normal.

I rang him up for his purchases. "That'll be 58.96."

He handed me sixty dollars, I placed his change into his hand along with his receipt.

I bagged his scarves and handed it to him. "Thank you and come again,"

He walked to the door and unlocked it.

"Kitten, the next time I return, we both will."

Sugar, Honey, Ice, Tea.

Click it. You know you want to.
