CHAPTER 35: COMING CLEAN

Waiting out in the lounge at my father’s law firm, I struggle to sit still. I’m so nervous about how my dad isgoing to react about the video. I know Jace and I are both adults, but come on, what parent wants tohear a guy call their daughter a whore, and other dirty things as he is about to have sex with her? Yep,this isn’t going to be pretty at all.

Jace keeps placing his hand on my thigh to keep it from bouncing up and down as we wait for my dad tofinish with his current client. My dad has a full schedule today, but he told me that we could come in andtalk while he ate his lunch in his office, so here we sit. I swear, sitting here, waiting, is straining on mynerves, but I’m glad that I have Jace with me. l’ m not sure anymore on whether I’m worried about mydad being disappointed in me or blowing up at Jace. I just hope that we can all come out of this onspeaking terms with our parents.

“You need to calm down, Ella.” Jace whispers to me.

I stare at him, dumbfounded, “Does this not worry you at all? My dad is about to see you defile his littlegirl after you’ve degraded her, Jace,” I keep my voice low so that Corrine, my dad’s receptionist, doesn’thear me, “He’s not going to take that too well!”

He shrugs, “There isn’t much that we can do about it, Ella. It’s not like he can forbid you to see me,because you are an adult.”

I look at the guy who I truly believe that I have fallen in love with, and I cover his hand on my thigh withmy own, “I just don’t want him to hate you, Jace. I don’t think I would be able to handle that, and I can’tchoose between you and my parents.”

He cups my face and looks me straight in the eye, “Both your parents and I would never make youchoose. Your parents love you and only want to see you happy, so as long as they know you are happy,

then they won’t make you choose. Granted, they are going to be pissed, well, your dad will be, anyway,but hopefully he won’t say anything about the video to your mom.”

“I’ll make him promise me that he won’t,” I state firmly, “Besides, it will be breaking client confidentiality,so he can’t.”

My dad’s door to his office opens and a man in an expensive suit comes walking out with my father. Theyare still chatting quietly, but I barely make out something about divarce and soon-to-be-ex-wife, justbefore they shake hands and part ways. When my dad sees us waiting for him, he smiles,

“Come on in, you two.”

My legs shake as I walk, and if it wasn’t for Jace keeping his hand on my lower back, letting me knowthat he is right there, I might have actually turned around and ran from the building. This is the first timein my life that I have not Jooked forward to talking to my father. Just as we are sitting, Corrine comes inwith a delivery bag and hands it to my

dad. She winks at me when she turns to leave, and I smile back at her.

“So, what is this emergency that couldn’t wait until I got home tonight?” My father asks as he pulls hisfavorite turkey and swiss cheese on a hoagie bun, out of the paper sack, along with a bag of chips.

Jace is the one to speak first, “Someone sent Ella a video this morning, and we are pretty sure that it’s toblackmail her into dropping the case.”

“Why would you think that?” My dad’s brows furrow as he studies Jace,

“Well, the video is kind of explicit, and I had been told the other day that a friend overheard Mason’s twinsister talking on the phone with someone abut Ella. Apparently, somebody has been keeping tabs onyour daughter to try and replace dirt on her.”

“I see,” my father looks at me concerned, “So, what’s on this video? I replace it hard to believe that anybodywould replace dirt on you, Ella,”

“That’s what I said as well.” Jace chuckles nervously.

My father’s eyes glance at Jace briefly, and then return back to me, “What did they replace on you, Ella.” Mydad asks sternly.

“Before I show you, Dad, you need to keep an open mind, okay…and you need to promise not to getmad.” I plead with

him

“Hand it over, Ella.”

“Promise me, Dad…”

“I can’t promise if it’s something that is going to hurt this case!” His voice raises just a tad.

*That’s the thing, it can’t hurt the case, because it has nothing to do with the case,” I say quickly, “but itwill be humiliating if it gets out onto the internet, and I think that’s what they were threatening if I don’tdrop the case.”

“Hand…me..the…video.” My dad says really slow.

“Okay,” I pull up the video and start to hand it over the desk to him, “but just know that everything, and Imean everything, on this video is consensual.”

“Jesus,” my father closes his eyes as he curses because I think he now realizes what may be on thevideo.

His jaw ticks as he glances from me to Jace before hitting the play icon. The volume is still up, so Jaceand I can hear everything, which only makes it worse as I watch my father’s expression go from bad toworse. He doesn’t finish watching it as he taps on the stop and tosses my phone onto his desk. Hedoesn’t say anything, just sets his elbows on his desk, clasps his fingers togethers, and presses hisforehead against them. The silence goes on for eternity it seems like.

glance over at Jace, and he grabs my hand and squeezes it trying to tell me that it will be okay. When myfather moves, it’s only to lean back in his chair and glare at Jace. I have to give the man beside mecredit, he is holding my dad’s glare very well. Jace is ready to take on my father’s wrath no matter howbad it is.

Finally, my father addresses Jace, “What do you have to say for yourself?”

“With all due respect, Ethan, what happens between Ella and I, is our business. We are not ashamed ofour sexual preferences, and neither one of us will apologize for it. We brought this to you only becausethey are wanting her to drop the case, and also, because someone climbed up that tree and recorded avideo without either of our consent.”

My father’s face is beet red when he turns to me, “So, you’re okay with him calling you a whore andtreating you like a common slut off the street?”

“Dad, it isn’t like that! Jace doesn’t think that of me…and it turns me on when he says those things.” Ilook away from himn when I say the last part, not that I’m ashamed, but I’m embarrassed that I’m tellingmy dad these things,

“I would never disrespect your daughter, Ethan. I love Ella, but our tastes when it comes to intimacy is abit more… colorful than most people’s tastes.” Jace tries explaining, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anygood at the moment.

“Dad, please don’t be mad at Jace, he does it because I like it.” It’s not quite a lie, because I do like it,but I didn’t know liked it until Jace started it.

“I just don’t get this whole, what do you call it…” my dad thinks on the word he’s looking for but Jaceanswers for him.

“Kink lifestyle.”

“Yes, that’ What is it about talking down to others like that?”

“li’s a bit hard to explain to people who don’t have the same tastes as we do,” Jace says, “but know thatElla is my world, and I know Ella’s needs and wants, and I just want to make her happy.”

I squeeze his hand and smile at him, falling for him just a little bit more. I then turn back to my dad, “Ilove you, Dad, but this is my private life, and as Jace said, we came to you about it because of theimplication of the message. We also wanted to talk to you before we talk to the of the family tonightabout our relationship”

My dad cuts me off, “Ella, your mom and his parents are not going to want to see this video!”

“We are not going to show them or tell them about the videa, and as my lawyer, I want you to promisethat you won’t tell anyone either. We just want to put our relationship out in the open instead of sneakingaround.”

I can tell that my father is still pissed, but he agrees with rne about not mentioning the video to anyone.He then turns to Jace, “I had a high regard for you. Jace, and now, I jusi don’t know what to think. Youhave disappointed me.”

“I’m sorry you feel that way. Ethan. I’ve always looked up to you as a father figure, and still do, but I willrespect your

Coming Clean

feelings.” Jace is polite, but I can tell that my father’s words have hurt him.

“Don’t put this all on Jace, Dad! If you’re going to be disrespectful to him then don’t expect me to talk toyou!” I stand up, trying to pull Jace up with me, but he pulls me back down so I’m back in my seat.

“Apologize to your dad, Ella. He has every right to feel what he’s feeling after learning about this. Hewasn’t disrespecting me, but you are disrespecting him, and I won’t sit here and watch you do that on mybehalf.” I just stare at Jace as he orders me to say I’m sorry to my dad. He is using his Dom voice aswell, and he knows that I always obey when he uses it, but I can’t this time.

I snatch my hand out of Jace’s and turn to my father, “I’m sorry if you think I’m disrespecting you, but I’mnot, I’m just telling you about my own feelings on the matter.” I glance at Jace because I used his ownwords, and then I turn and hurry out of my dad’s office. Not stopping until I get to Jace’s Jeep, I breakdown as soon as I get to where it’s parked. Of course, it’s locked, but it doesn’t matter, I just needed toget out there. I knew my father wouldn’t be happy, but I couldn’t listen to him talk down to Jace like that. Iwon’t choose between them, but I will stick up for whichever one is getting the wrong end of the stick.

After giving myself a few minutes, I wipe the tears from my face as I wait for Jace. I probably shouldn’thave left him with my dad like that, but I felt like I was suffocating in there. My parents don’t know abouthow I spent the last two years being bullied and not having anyone, feeling lonely on a daily basis, so ofcourse, they are not going to realize how much being with Jace and being able to break free from theshackles of loneliness means to me. I don’t think anybody other than Jace would have been able to seedeep enough inside me to know that my needs differ from most. Hell, I didn’t even realize the extent towhat I needed, but Jace did, and I know that he is being patient with me as I begin to explore.

I’m so deep in thought that I’m not even aware of my surroundings. I see nothing, I hear nothing, until ahorn blares, jerking me from my own thoughts. Looking around, I see an angry Jace stomping toward meand the Jeep. He must have walked in front of the car that honked, because I doubt he is seeing

anything else while his eyes are focused on me. He doesn’t say anything to me as he unlocks the doorsand holds my door open for me. Once I’m settled into my

seat, he grabs the seatbelt and stretches it across my body, buckling me in. He then slams the door andwalks around to the driver’s side. Only when he is in the Jeep and he’s started it, do our eyes meet andhe talks to me.

“You were a very bad girl in there, Ella.”

JACE POV

I sit here and take in every word that Ethan says to me. It hurts; I’m not going to lie, but I also know thathe’s angry and he has to let it out. Not everybody understands the dynamics of the kink lifestyle, andthat’s okay, so I let him say what he needs to say, even if it does hurt. Ethan is like a father to me, so thedisappointment that I see in his eyes is the toughest to take, but I won’t apologize about loving hisdaughter. Fuck, I’d probably be doing the same thing if I had a daughter and saw what he did withouthaving any understanding.

When Ella lets loose on her father, I sit back and let her have her say, proud of her for standing up forherself, and yet disappointed because I replace her being disrespectful to her father. It’s when she tellsEthan that she won’t talk to him anymore and then tries pulling me from my chair, that I’ve had enough,and can’t let her continue or else she’s going to say something that she’s going to regret.

I pull her back down into her chair and muster up my Dom voice enough for her to recognize it, but not tothe extent to where her father would get even more pissed at me. Staring at her, I keep my voice calmbut stern, “Apologize to your dad, Ella. He has every right to feel what he’s feeling after learning aboutthis. He wasn’t disrespecting me, but you are disrespecting him, and I won’t sit here and watch you dothat on my behalf.”

Ella stuns me when she rips her hand out of mine and turns back to her father. I don’t pay too muchattention to what she is saying because I’m seeing red at the moment. To display this kind of childishtantrum is uncalled for, and I wouldn’t have thought that she would react this way. Once she runs fromEthan’s office, I stare at the door for a moment before turning back to Ethan. I’m pretty sure we havematching expressions on our faces.

I clear my throat, “I’m really sorry that you had to replace out this way, and even more sorry that you had tosee that, but I do love Ella. I have loved her since I was twelve years old, and I will continue to do so aslong as she allows me to,” I run my hand down my face and sigh, “Those things I said in the video. I don’tthink that of your daughter, but it is what we both like. All I’m trying to do is keep her happy, I’ll doanything in regard to her happiness, but I will also punish her when the need arises.” He goes to saysomething, but I hold up iny hand to stop him, “I know what you’re thinking, Ethan, but no, I would neverabuse Ella. Just do us both a favor and do a little research please. Maybe once you know a little moreabout it, you may be able to deal with it better I’m not saying that you have to like it, but at least it shouldput your mind

Coming Clean

to rest knowing that she is with someone that has her best interests at heart and who will take good careof her.”

Ethan’s jaw is still clenched but he nods at me and hands me Ella’s phone. I nod back at him, and thentake my leave to go search for my disobedient little sub. I’m already thinking of the best way to punishher once we get back to my place. It’s high time we take it up a notch, and work on her obedienceinstead of pissing around because I don’t want to push her too soon. She’s had enough time to come toterms with everything and today she will see what happens when a sub disobeys their Dom, especially ina public setting.

My eyes are laser-focused on the woman standing all by herself beside my Jeep. I don’t pay attention toanything going on around me, and even when a car honks at me for walking in front of it, I don’t evenstop. My sight never leaves Ella. As I get closer, I can see that she has been crying by her puffy face andred eyes, but I can’t show concern, even though all I want to do now is take her into my arms and let herknow that it’s all going to be okay.

Instead, I say nothing as I open up the door and wait for her to climb in before I make sure she isbuckled. I don’t mean to slam the door, but I’m holding on by a very thin piece of thread, and I need toget it all out before I give her the punishment that she deserves. I could see confusion in her eyes; she’swondering who my anger is towards, but I will not say. I will never say when I’m angry at her,disappointed, yes, but never angry.

Once I get into the driver’s seat and I’ve started the Jeep, I finally turn and give her my full attention, “Youwere a very bad girl in there, Ella.” | glance at the time and notice that we still have a little over threehours before one of my parents get home, but I don’t know if that will give us enough time. Changing mymind about going back to my place, I turn my Jeep in the opposite direction. I’ll have more options indoling out Ella’s punishment this way as well.

I can see in my peripheral view that Ella is glancing around, trying to figure out where we are going.When I told her that she was a very bad girl, she knew right away not to say anything to me, so I’m notsurprised that she hasn’t asked me where we are going. I don’t plan on telling her either, she will seeonce we are there. Is it a bad thing if I’m getting hard just thinking about punishing my little sub? I’mtalking about really punishing her, not just a few spanks with my hand either. I still owe her the fortyswats with the paddle, but now she’s added to that punishment, and I’m looking forward to using othertechniques as well.

As I pull into the parking lot of the Training Center, I see that both Jude and Riku are here as well. I won’tbe needing their assistance, but I wouldn’t mind introducing them to my girl, only once she hasthoroughly been punished. Until then, she gets no privileges, and that includes meeting my friends. Ella

glances at me while removing her seatbelt, hoping I will give her some insight as to where we are at, butI keep my Dom face on. In fact, I’m in complete Dom mode and I expect her to act like the perfect subwhile we are here.

I open her door for her and grab her hand, not saying anything untill stop right outside the front door andturn to her, “We are in D/s mode as of right now, until I say otherwise. I will expect you to act accordingly,because there will be consequences if you do not. Do you understand, Ella?”

“Yes, Jace.”

I shake my head, “Here, you will either call me Master Jace, or Sir. I’d prefer Sir, but it’s your decision.You will not speak unless spoken to or I’ve given you permission to speak freely. Do you understand,Ella?”

“Yes, Sir.” Her eyes are wide, and her cheeks are pink as she responds with a breathless voice. I want togrin because these are the signs of a turned-on woman, but I keep my expression stern.

“This is where you will receive your punishment, because there so many more implements and optionshere. You are going to have a very sore bottom, among other things…”

I don’t expect an answer from her, so I turn and open the door, pulling her through right behind me. Thefacility is busy this time of day with Dom and sub classes, so there are quite a few people walkingaround. A sub that pays for extra training, and that I work with in the evenings, stops me.

“Master Jace, are we still on for tonight?” The sub practically bats her lashes at me, and I feel Ella stiffenbeside me

Ah shit, this doesn’t look good at all, but I can handle it. This sub always flirts with me, and she getspunished for it each time, “No, Lea, I will not be working tonight, but I will make sure that I set you up withMaster Jude, since you have forgotten the rules.”

Her eyes go as round as saucers, “Please Master Jace, any other trainer, but him!”

“You know better than to speak to a Master without his permission, and I’ve told you numerous times tostop flirting with me,” I pull Ella up, so she is now standing beside me, giving her a small smile beforeturning back to Lea, “This is my sub, and girlfriend, Ella. You will not disrespect her again by flirting withme.”

Coming Clean

The sub glances at Ella, “I’m sorry that I was flirting with your Master. I did not realize that he hadsomeone.” She seems to be remorseful, but only time will tell.

“Be in the usual training room at the usual time and a trainer will meet you there.” I don’t say goodbye oranything, I just continue on my way, wanting to get Ella away from everybody, so they don’t upset hereven more. Had I known Lea would pull something like this, I would have waited until I knew that allclasses were in session before bringing Ella inside.

I can tell that my girl is biting at the bit to say something but is trying to be obedient. I’m not going to giveher a reprieve, though. Once her punishment is over, then she can ask all the questions that she wouldlike, but not until then. The more she remains quiet and obedient, the harder my dick gets. Yeah, it alsogets hard when she is disobedient, knowing that I get to punish her, but when she is obeying mycommands and acting like a true sub, that gets me hard as well.

I first bring her in to where the trainer’s locker room is, so I can grab a hair tie to put her hair back. I don’twant to catch her hair on anything and hurt her, so I quickly braid her hair and tie it off. I then take her toa room that is very seldom used, so I know we won’t be disturbed. It’s a bit on the smaller side, but Idon’t need a lot of room for what I’m using it for. It does have a big two-way mirror on one wall, whereothers can watch whatever scene is taking place, but we won’t be using it, not that Ella will know that. Infact, it’s the complete opposite, I will let her think that we are being watched as part of her punishment,as long as she doesn’t have a serious freak out over it. We will see how she handles exhibitionism; she

doesn’t need to know that I have no plans on showing her off like that to anybody, at least not unless shewants me to.

“Strip and then kneel and wait for me to return; I need to take care of something. I expect you to be readyfor your punishment when I get back.” I leave through a different door then what we came through. Itleads out to the hall where the two-way mirror faces and when I look through it, I can see her plain asday.

Glancing around to make sure nobody else is around, I turn my attention back to my girl. She looksaround the room from where she stands, observing the furniture and all the implements on display. Inotice the slight shiver that runs through her, as well as the small smile on her lips. “Oh, Ella, let’s seehow long that smile stays on those pretty little lips of yours.” I say to myself out loud as I watch her strip.Just as she gets onto her knees in the Nadu pose, I feel a presence behind me.

“Very beautiful, Lil’ D,” Jude’s voice is low, “No wonder you are so pussy whipped.” I spin around to seemy friend checking Ella out

“Eyes off my girl, Jude.”

He lifts a brow, “You have seen Beth naked a million times, but you have an issue with me looking atyour girl?”

“There’s a difference, Beth doesn’t mind it, and Ella is still learning. I don’t want to show her off like thisunless she is okay with it.” I scowl and I quickly hit the button on the wall that closes the blinds to theroom. I will have to do it from the other side as well to make sure nobody opens it up from out here whilewe are busy.

Jude holds his hands up, “Fair enough, I’ll respect that,” he pauses, “but I do hope that one day she willallow an audience because I would love to see a scene between the two of you. She looks so innocent,Lil’ D. What are you here for?”

“She’s got a few punishments coming to her and I don’t want to be interrupted by my parents.” I stick myhands in my pockets.

“Damn, you’re going to give that innocent-looking girl a punishment and not let me watch?” He literallypouts his lips.

“Why yes, yes I am.” I grin.

“Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll replace my own entertainment.”

“By the way, are you busy at seven tonight? I’m supposed to have training with Lea, but Ella and I haveto take care of something tonight.”

“Why don’t you just cancel it?” He asks because normally I would. I go on to tell him why I want him totrain her, and of course, punish her for what she had done, “Oh, nice. Why didn’t you just say so from thebeginning?” He rubs his hands together, “she hates being edged and she cries so pretty.”

I roll my eyes at my friend; he enjoys his job way too much, but I can’t really blame him. If I didn’t haveElla, then I would probably be just like him. I thank him and then wait until he is gone before opening theblinds back up. Eila is still on her knees, her palms lying face-up on her thighs, her back straight with hertits all perked-up. We keep the rooms a little on the chillier side, because it can get a bit warm while wescene or hand out punishments. It also helps to keep the sub’s

nipples hard, so it’s easier to play or torture them. I go back into the room and close the blinds from theinside before facing the woman on her knees in front of me, “Are you ready to be punished Elā?” “Yes,Sir..” wana
