If there is a chapter 2 it will be filled with hot steamy scenes.) Lil Bit worked hard bringing in and keeping investors happy for the company she worked for. Work had been especially stressful the last few months. Her boss Shelia had been given a new division in the company which meant after eight years of working side by side with Lil Bit she would be moving up and on. Mr. M was going to be her new boss and had a reputation for doing things his own way. Lil Bit had heard of the many things he had accomplished within the company since she'd been there, and always pictured him being in his late 40's, tall, thin, with balding grey hair. When Mr. M arrived she thought him to be the new investor scheduled for the morning meeting they had set. Introducing herself she showed him to the conference room. He realized right away she had no idea he was actually her new boss. Wanting to see her in action he played the investor role and followed her into the conference room. He had to admit she was better than he had expected. Lil Bit however felt flush as she found herself drawn to the man that sat before her. This hadn't happened to her since high school so it both scared and intrigued her. His eyes pierced through her and she began to wonder if he could see the lust that must be obvious in her eyes. He stood taller than her with broad shoulders, a muscular build, black hair, and when he spoke his deep voice sent chills through her. Just as she was finishing with the company portfolio her secretary Stacy came and asked to speak with her. Apologizing Lil Bit excused herself to the hall to see what could be worth interrupting her meeting. Her secretary informed her that Mr. Fitz was stuck in Dallas as a storm had shut down the airport with no sign of resuming flights any time soon. Looking puzzled she asked how that could be if Mr. Fitz was sitting in the conference room now. Mr. M saw the confused look on Lil Bit's face so he came to the hall to ask if everything was alright. Looking up blushing she asked his name realizing now she had never asked. With a devilish grin on his face he introduced himself. She was both speechless and mortified. So many things running through her mind not knowing what to do next. Mr. M still held that grin when he explained he had never been given a chance to see a new employee in action so soon and he couldn't help but jump at the opportunity. He said he was very impressed and would be investing if he were actually an investor. They all laughed about it on the way to their offices. Sitting in her office Lil Bit told herself "to bad he's my boss that might have been fun". Pushing the lust she felt for him aside she sat down to email Mr. Fritz with the usual sympathies at his not being able to make it and telling him she could reschedule when he was ready. Hitting send she began her daily routine and got to work. So involved with her tasks she had worked right through lunch when there was a knock on her door. Stacy never knocked who could be at her door? Opening the door she found her secretary at her desk shrugging her shoulders apologetically. Mr. M stood there asking if he could interrupt. Heading back to her desk in a hurry to tidy up she said absolutely apologizing for the mess. She offered him the seat that Shelia usually sat in when they were in her office together. Then Lil Bit shut the door never even considering he might prefer it to stay open. Grabbing her note book and styles she sat across from him. She expected him to ask about reports and the usual things she was responsible for. The table they sat at was purposely placed in front of the large window looking out over Irongate with the mountain scenery in the background. She loved the view and it was one of the reasons she accepted the position. Mr. M said "I don't mind the mess as a messy desk in the middle of the work day means you're working hard and focused on your job." Pulling out two sandwiches he went on to say, "you have worked through lunch so I called Shelia and asked her what you usually ate and sent my secretary to get us lunch." Passing her a sandwich and ice tea he continued, "I don't want you working through lunch again." Lil Bit sat there not sure what to say. Thinking quickly she thanked him and promised to not miss lunch again. Though bringing her lunch was sweet she couldn't help being a bit angry at the demand "she was not to miss lunch again." He didn't have control over her and if she wanted to skip lunch then she would. At the same time she got a little excited by his demand but she wouldn't let herself go there. He was her boss and that meant it had to stay professional. Didn't it? Suddenly very aware of his eyes on her she looked up and asked if he wanted to go over her reports. Taking a bite of his sandwich he shook his head no. After swallowing he went on, "do you always close the door when men come in your office?" Fighting back the anger once again she said "I'm sorry I never really thought about it if you'd like I can open it." As she started to stand to go open the door he stopped her laughing at the change in her demeanor. "I don't mind but you should be careful as someone could easily get the wrong idea." She hated to admit it but he was right, and she wasn't about to tell him that she liked the door closed for the quite so she could stay focused."Anna, tell me something about you." Wanting to stay professional she said, "I have been with the company eight years, I've landed investors like GE, Bosh and Lomb, and Microsoft, and I've only taken vacation time twice due to medical reasons." Then she went over all the things she was responsible for as the assistant manager while working for Shelia. Sitting back folding his arms across his chest Mr. M shook his head "I know all about your time here with the company I want to know something about you, like what do you do in your free time?" A little uneasy at his question she couldn't help but wonder why any of that mattered. She decided on just some basics, "I liked to curl up with a book and drink blackberry wine on Fridays. I never take work home with me and I enjoy things like gardening, most music, and thunderstorms." Not wanting to say anything more she turned to ask what he did in his free time. Stopping her in her tracks she found those eyes piercing through her again. She prayed he couldn't see the lust return as she took in every inch of his body. Pulling herself together once more she watched that devilish grin come across his face. Not knowing why she continued, "no one outside of work calls me Anna." With an arch in his brow he asked, "What do they called you?" Sheepishly she said, "I was given a nick name in high school, and ever since everyone has called me Lil Bit." She was not going to tell him who gave her that name as it was none of his business. Without another word Mr. M got up and left. He sat in his office remembering her from high school. He knew why and how she got her knick name. It was what he called her. To find out after all these years she still went by Lil Bit gave him hope. There was something he couldn't understand though, why hadn't she recognized him. True he had come a long way since then but she really hadn't recognized him? About an hour later he called her, "Anna sorry for leaving so abruptly I had a meeting I almost forgot about, and I have another in five minutes so I must go." Telling her the lie he'd practiced to hide the surprised look on his face when she said Lil Bit. Lil Bit and Ashe (Mr. M) met freshmen year and were very close friends. It wasn't until the middle of sophomore year she gave him a letter saying she had been afraid to say anything because she was afraid of losing his friendship, but could no longer hide her feeling for him. He knew how she agonized over telling him since he had fought with it himself. There was one thing that got in the way though. His girlfriend Cynthia and. It was Lil Bit who had hooked them up. In the letter she said she was on her way to tell him everything when Cynthia stopped her. She asked Lil Bit to see if he wanted to go out. Never believing for a second he would say yes she asked trying to be a good friend. When he said yes her heart broke and decided she would never tell him about her feelings. That weekend Ashe took her out. Feeling guilty for betraying Cynthia they tried many times to call it off. However as soon as they'd rejoin their friends moments later Ashe would come put his arms around her again. She wasn't about to push him away and give him up if she didn't have to. Lil Bit tried to be ok with being the other woman, but by the end of junior year she couldn't do it anymore. Ashe had promised to leave Cynthia one too many times. When he came to tell her he'd finally done it Lil Bit was getting ready to climb in a truck with a guy he had never met. Furious he came up yelling "who the hell is he." Turning toward the other guy she asked for a moment with her "friend" and went to Ashe's car. Lil Bit knew if Ashe thought this guy was here to take his place it would end their relationship. Looking at him in tears she spoke the words that for years to come she would always regret. "He is taking me out on a date. I'm done waiting for you to leave Cynthia. I can't take the pain you keep choosing her over me. If you knew how much it hurts wishing you would pick me, you would never put me through this!" Ashe tried to tell her he left Cynthia, but Lil Bit didn't believe him. Stepping out of his car she asked Ashe to leave. Revving his car he peeled out speeding down the street. The thing Ashe never knew was the guy was Mark, and he was like a cousin. Their parents had been friends for years. If she had told Ashe his name he would have known exactly who the hell he was. Instead of going to the movie with Mark as planned she ran to her room crying into her pillow wishing she could call Ashe to say "I'm so sorry I didn't mean. The guy she was leaving with was Mark. She was just angry and didn't want to leave him!" She knew Ashe wouldn't answer and forced herself to leave him alone. Two weeks later her Mother got a new job and they moved away. She was grateful for the move since it meant she wouldn't have to face him senior year. Lil Bit didn't date for several years after that, and even when she had they weren't Ashe. She had tried many times to find Ashe over the years but had given up hope she ever would. She knew she would never and could never love anyone the way she had him. Having never found the one worth settling for she focused on her career and became a very successful business woman. She lived alone in the home she now owned. Weekends were spent at her little cabin in the mountains. The cabin was laid out just as she and Ashe had planned as kids so she never brought anyone with her. After college she landed her first job back in her home town and moved back. After two years she found out about this job and applied. Once she saw her office view and heard the benefits she accepted the job. Later she told Shelia of how Irongate was her and Ashe's favorite place to go together and that he was the only man she would or could ever truly loved. It was finally Friday. Lil Bit had decided to stay late to make sure everything was ready for her Monday meeting with a new investor. She already had her bag in the car ready to head to her cabin when she finished. Mr. M called her into his office a couple hours before everyone would be leaving. Her notebook in hand she headed up. He was on the phone when she arrived he pointed to the table now sitting in front of his window that also overlooked Irongate. For an instant she felt as if she was somehow letting Ashe down by sitting there with another man. Pushing the thought away she sat and waited for Mr. M. Once off the phone he joined her. "Anna I was wondering if it would be possible for you to stay a little late tonight. I'd like to go over some things with you that just came in. I can ask my secretary to stay as well so you wouldn't be here alone with me." Looking into those eyes doing her best not to blush she said "I was staying late any way so that's not a problem. It doesn't seem fair to ask your secretary to stay and I really don't think it's necessary." Lil Bit returned to her office and finished up the business proposal for her meeting. She was just finishing up when Stacy called on the intercom. "Anna I have finished with my work. Do you need me to stay late tonight and help with anything else?" Looking at the clock seeing it was almost five she replied, "No go home and enjoy her weekend. Stacy, thank you for all your help, I don't know what I'd do without you." Filing the last of her paperwork and tidying her desk she grabbed her not book and headed to Mr. M's office. When she got to his office she saw his secretary had left and the door was open. Approaching quietly she gave a soft knock. "Come in Anna." Entering she found he had his back to her looking at a book. "Anna there is something I have to show you." Walking to her he handed her an open book and asked, "Will you please read this?" Not knowing what to expect she took the book in hand and saw an old letter tucked in the cover. It looked so familiar. After reading the first line a look of shock came over her. Light headed she looked up wondering how the hell he got this. "That's not all" he said stepping forward to remove the letter. Revealing the yearbook from her high school she found the words she wrote to Ashe many years ago signed "Your Lil Bit!" Her head started spinning what was going on, what kind of sick joke was this! Seeing anger flash across her face Mr. M knelt down grabbing her hands. Holding her full attention he spoke in a tender loving voice, "My Lil Bit do you truly not recognize me?" Starring at him, drawn in yet again by those eyes, fighting back tears she asked, "Ashe, is it really you?" A smile swept across his face and her tears began to fall. She cupped his face in hand not believing he sat before her. Pulling her up he wrapped his arms around her waist lifting her he spun. Without hesitation she wrapped her arms around him burying her face into his neck unable to stop the tears from falling. Change in Management Ch. 02 {Lil Bit, aka Anna, has just discovered her new boss Mr. M is her long lost love Ashe from high school. We left them as Lil Bit had her face buried in Ashe's neck crying. In this chapter there was another unexpected turn delaying the sex yet again. I have to go where my mind takes the story. Hang in there it's coming, and I promise you won't regret the wait.} Stepping back to see her he wiped the tears from her face. Ashe asked, "My Lil Bit why are you crying?" Anxiously he waited hoping to hear she missed him and still loved him. As if finally making the call she stopped herself from making so many times before it all spilled out. "Ashe that day I asked you to leave, I pushed you away on purpose. The guy was Mark he was like my cousin. I hated to let you believe a lie, but I thought you would never leave Cynthia for me. I have regretted lying every day since it happened. I couldn't go on being the other women, and I couldn't face you knowing I lied. Mom got a new job and we moved away. I thought I would never get to see you again. Now here you are and I'm still so ashamed for lying to you." Leaning in he kissed her so deeply she melted into him. When he came back up she looked into his eyes blinking. "What was that for?" "My sweet, sweet Lil Bit I am sorry it took so long for me to come to my senses. I did leave Cynthia that day, having heard it so many times before why would you believe me. I also thought I got what I deserved loosing you to another. To find out now he was never a threat makes me so angry at myself for not fighting for you. I wanted to call you and beg you to give me another chance, but I had no right after what I'd put you through. Giving you a chance at happiness I bowed out quietly letting you move on. It hurt when you didn't come back to school the next year. I came to your house to find you had moved. I never thought I would see you again and never stopped thinking of you. My Lil Bit please let me take you away for the weekend so we can reacquaint ourselves with each other." Blushing she wanted to say yes, but how was she going to explain being packed for the cabin? He had kissed her, but what if he wasn't interested in getting back together. Reading her like he always could he spoke, "Tell me what you're thinking right now that's keeping you from answering me?" Without hesitation she answered, "I go away every weekend so I'm already packed." Knowing she was stilled holding back he gave her no choice, "Where do you go?" Nervously she said, "Do you remember the vacation home we always said we'd have in the mountains?" Arching his brow he said, "Yeah, why?" She continued, "I bought it and I go up every weekend." A sunken feeling came over him. She had plans with someone else. Disappointment spread across his face, "With who?" Now it was her turn to laugh at him as she said, "No one, I have never taken anyone to our place. I go there alone to unwind from the week and remember the love we once shared." Realizing now he had been holding his breath he was able to breathe again. She had called it their place. Pure delight spread through his whole body. She never quit thinking about him either. Again he took her in his arms holding her tight kissing her. This kiss said it all; never again would he leave or hurt her. He knew he had a lot to make up for and right here and now is where he intended to start. Looking into his eyes feeling his love for her she asked, "So do you want to come see it?" He said, "Not just yet. I told corporate you asked for vacation time and got it approved. I told them something had come up and I may need to take some time too. They are waiting for my call to approve my vacation time as well. Shelia is going to come take care of things here while we're gone." Going to his desk he dialed waiting for the voice to come on the other end. "It's me Ashe, looks like I need the three weeks I spoke to you about earlier. Shelia is a go since her division hasn't started just yet. Thank you I'll be back then. Yeah have a good weekend yourself. Bye." Looking at him in dismay she asked, "Just how much time did I request, and how did you get approval for both of us getting vacation time?" His grin reappeared as he spoke, "I approved you for three weeks before I got here. So when I too asked for the three weeks just today for personal reasons and mentioned Shelia offered to run things in our absence all the red tape disappeared. Shelia and I spoke about a little more than what you liked to eat that day we had lunch together. She said it was important you keep your office since Irongate meant a great deal to you. She never would of guessed I knew why it meant so much." He winked at her and said, "Now we can go." Smiling she took his hand as they headed down to the parking garage. They stopped at his car. As he reached in grabbing his bag she asked, "What are we doing? You can't leave your car here for three weeks." He smiled at her and answered, "My brother has the spare key and is coming to take it back to my place. Do you remember my rule about taking your car?" She lit up as she answered, "I remember." Handing him her keys they went to her car. He opened her door and gave her his hand to help get in. Before shutting the door he leaned in locking it. As he came around to the other side she started her GPS setting it to find the quickest route to the cabin. He smiled at her and started the car. Pulling away Lil Bit let herself remember the day she was given her nick name and what happened to her that made the rule necessary. The rule was that it was his job to keep her safe so he drove. She was also not to open the door to get in or out so that he could make sure no one had another opportunity to hurt her. This rule came after her ex boyfriend Joe had pulled her from Ashe's car. Joe was an abusive boyfriend, and no one but Ashe knew why Lil Bit wore heavy makeup and sunglasses from time to time. Lil Bit froze when she saw Joe coming at her. She was unable to lock the door and without automatic locks Ashe couldn't do it for her. Joe reached in grabbing her by the hair yanking from the car to her knees. All too familiar with what Joe was going to do to her she began to plea for his forgiveness. Ashe came around the car as Joe pulled her to her feet. Looking at Ashe he yelled out, "Just go you're only making it worse for her!" Fury took over and in an instant Ashe pulled Lil Bit free breaking Joe's nose. Planting a jump kick to the chest Joe flew into the car parked behind him. Ashe opened the door put Lil Bit back in the car yelling, "The next time I tell you to lock this door you better do it! You stay here no matter what happens!" Locking the door he slammed it shut. Turning back Ashe grabbed Joe by the throat ready to kill him. Seeing Lil Bit in the car watching he punched the car right next to Joe's head instead. In a controlled angry voice Ashe said, "If you ever come near her again I will kill you! Do you understand?" Just before passing out Joe nodded in agreement. An onlooker had called the cops and they were just now pulling in. Several cop cars surrounded the scene as the lead officer asked, "What's going on here?" When Ashe, Lil Bit, and all the witnesses reported seeing the same thing the officer radioed for an ambulance arresting Joe. Ashe asked, "Will Anna have to appear in court to have him locked away? After seeing her react to him I'm not sure she could do it." The officer replied, "That happens a lot in abuse cases like this. The fear of her abuser keeps her from coming forward. However, we don't need her since we have numerous eye witness statements and the surveillance tape. The store manager offered it to us and said it wasn't the first time he saw Anna being beat by this guy." Then the officer asked, "How on earth did you hold yourself back like that?" Ashe smiled and said, "She is My Lil Bit, it is my job to protect her. If she hadn't been here watching, I don't think I could have stopped myself." The officer smiled back, "She is lucky to have someone like you to look after her. Get her out of here so you can help her calm down." Ashe nodded and went to the car. "Let's get out of here. I'm taking you home to get cleaned up and calmed down. I'm sorry for yelling at you but, if anything ever happened to you I don't know what I'd do." Giving her a peck on the forehead they pulled away. Pulling into the drive way Ashe came around and opened the door for her. Offering his hand Lil Bit took hold of it as he helped her climb from the car. Holding her near entering the back door they'd surprised her mother Anita. Ashe pushed her toward the stairs and said, "Go on I'll be there in a minute." Lil Bit ran up not knowing what to say. Ashe continued, "We need to talk Anita." Anita led Ashe to the living room and sat down. "What happened? Is she ok?" Ashe nodded and told her everything that had happened. Anita had no idea Joe had been abusing her daughter. Tears ran down her face. "It's going to be ok Anita. I will keep her safe, and Joe is facing attempted aggravated kidnapping and felony assault charges. Anna doesn't have to testify and he's going to be locked up for a very long time." Standing Anita hugged Ashe "Thank you so much, I hate to think what could have happened if you hadn't there. I'm fine. Go to her, she needs you now." Ashe went to her room and found her sitting at her vanity. She had finally been able to stop crying. Taking the brush from her table he began to brush through her long hair. "Did I scare you Lil Bit?" She shook her head no, but then said, "A little, but only because you've never yelled at me before. I know it was out of fear and not anger. It just caught me off guard. I'm sorry this happened can you ever forgive me?" Sitting the brush down he spun her to face him. "You have nothing to be sorry for. You did nothing wrong, and I know your fear of him made you freeze. I was scared because as I was trying to get to you. It felt like I was moving in slow motion and couldn't get there fast enough. All I could think about was getting his hands off you. When he told me, just go I was only making it worse for you, I snapped. I wanted to kill him, and intended to after getting you safe. The only thing that stopped me was you watching." He sat on her bed and looked into her face trying to read her. She met his gaze with reassurance as she dropped to her knees kissing his swollen hand. "Thank you so much, I love you more than words can say. Take me to Irongate so we can get lost in the beauty of the park and forget everything that just happened." Standing he helped her up nodding his head and walked her down stairs. Entering the kitchen her mother came and wrapped her arms around Anna hugging her tightly. Ashe said, "She's asked me to take her to her favorite park so she can forget everything that's happened, and if it's alright with you I'd like to take her." Anita stepped back. Her first thought was no way, but seeing her daughters pleading eyes she said, "Ok Ashe, but you look out for her and keep my baby safe." Winking at Anna she stepped aside allowing them to pass. "I will Anita. Don't you worry she is My Lil Bit and I will always keep her safe." Anita smiled, "Lil Bit huh? I like it. Alright Lil Bit you go have fun, but you need to be home by 11:00." Ashe led Lil Bit to his car opening the door he waited for her to get in. Before closing the door he locked it and winked at her. Feeling so protected by him she smiled knowing exactly what he was thinking. After starting the car he said, "From now on your door is to stay locked. You will not unlock it until I come around to open it. No one will ever take you from me again. Do you accept this rule?" She nodded in agreement and they pulled away heading to Irongate. When they pulled in Ashe got out and stopped to get the blanket from the trunk along with a large old soda cup. Lil Bit obeyed and didn't unlock the door until he was ready to open it. Offering her his hand again she grabbed hold allowing him to help her out of the car. It was such a beautiful day as Lil Bit took in a deep breath of fresh air. Putting his arm around her they walked toward the wooden bridge that led to the many gazebos' spread out across the lake. Stopping just before the bridge Ashe handed her some change and the old soda cup. Lil Bit put the cup under the dispenser that held food for the fish, swans, and ducks. Using four quarters she filled the cup resuming her place beside Ashe. They headed to her favorite gazebo in the middle of the lake with openings in the railings. Laying down the blanket Ashe helped her sit with her feet over the edge to feed the animals. Instead of joining her he stood watch over the entrance to their gazebo. Lil Bit could tell by the look on his face he meant it when he said it was his job to protect her, and that was exactly what he was going to do. Without a word she turned feeding the fish, and soon after the ducks and swans joined in on the feast. After the food was gone she lay back seeing the sunset begin. Ashe stood ever vigilant of others coming and going when she finally asked, "Will you come watch the sunset with me?" Reluctantly he took his place by her side pulling her to lie on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and they watched the sun slip behind the mountains. They had been dating a couple months now and Lil Bit wanted to wait for the right time to be intimate with one another. As the sun slipped from view she knew the time was now. Just then Ashe reached for her hand bringing her back from the past, "Where are you Lil Bit? What are you thinking about?" Blushing she looked at him, "Irongate and the first time I gave myself to you." He smiled and knew she would give herself to him again. By his side is where she'd always belonged. This time he would let nothing come between them. Change in Management Ch. 03 {We left Ashe and Lil Bit on their way up the mountain to the cabin. Ashe reached for Lil Bit's hand seeing she was lost in thought. She told him she was thinking about the first time she gave herself to him.} Ashe pulled her hand to his lips kissing it gently. "I can't wait to get to our place. I'm going to make it all up to you, but I must ask that you submit to me and allow me to resume being your Master. Is this something you are willing to do?" Without hesitation she answered, "In my eyes you have always been my Master and I have never given myself to another as a submissive." "Then you are prepared to accept your punishment?" Ashe asked with the raise of his brow. She knew that raised brow meant he was serious. Astonished she turned to face him, "I don't understand punishment for what?" Pulling the car to the side of the road he glared at her and in a controlled voice said, "You're going to be punished for lying to me. Has it been so long you have forgotten how to address me?" She sunk into her seat placing her hands in her lap. Looking at the floor far too ashamed to face him she spoke, "I'm sorry Master, I forgot my place and it won't happen again. I lied to you and deserve to be punished, please forgive me Master." Putting the car back into drive he continued up the road. He didn't want to punish her, but she had lied. True it was years ago, but she knew of all his rules the most important was she was never to lie to him for any reason. He couldn't ignore it, she had to be punished. Just before reaching their destination Lil Bit spoke up, "Master may I tell you something?" Without looking at her he answered, "Yes you may." Rubbing his knuckled across his lips. "The destination on the GPS isn't the cabin. The cabin is two miles down a path, and I own the land surrounding it as well." Ashe smiled, "I'll have you all to myself then?" Choosing her words carefully she spoke, "Yes Master, though we may need to go out for supplies tonight or tomorrow." Ashe was pleased she didn't say anything indicating they had to get supplies. She left it open to him knowing he made these decisions not her. Maybe she hadn't forgotten all of her training. Pulling in Lil Bit almost unlocked the door, but caught herself before he noticed. He pulled their bags from the trunk came around and helped her from the car. Taking her hand in his they headed down the path to the cabin. Lil Bit couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he saw the cabin. The walk took Ashe and her about forty-five minutes, and by that time it was too dark for him to see the outside. Entering the cabin Lil Bit asked, "Master may I turn the lights on for you?" Kissing her hand he answered, "Yes you may." She went over and turned the lights on revealing the living rooms vaulted ceiling and the loft above a luxurious bar that held her wine. Across the room was a gas fire place that reminded him of how she always said she didn't want a wood burning fire place. She had once said it was because of the mess the wood made and the spiders that lived in wood piles scared her to death. Mounted above the fire place was a large flat screen television with surround sound and in front sat a large sectional couch for lounging on. To the right of the bar was a huge bay window with a built in seating area and book shelves. The kitchen was to the left of the bar, and a laundry/mud room led out the back. Just before the kitchen was a spiral staircase that led to the loft above. Carrying their bags he went up stairs and found the metal four post king-size bed with glass topped tables on either side. Entering the walk in closet setting down the bags he made his way through the door way at the end of the closet finding the double sink vanity that sat just outside the bathroom and another door that was closed concealing the toilet. Entering the bathroom he saw a large garden style bath with jets, a shower with four shower nozzles, and a small closet for towels and other linens. He smiled, the cabin was just as they'd always planned it to be. Lil Bit stood next to the bed while he looked around. When Ashe came back in the bedroom he said, "Get our things put away while I check out the rest of our place." Winking at her he went down stairs. She went into the closet and began to hang their clothes when she heard him coming back up the stairs. His voice was sharp when he asked, "If you never bring anyone up here with you then who drinks this? I know you don't drink scotch!" Startled she said, "Master I got it a very long time ago to try it. Honestly I don't know how you can drink that stuff. I hated the taste and that's why so little is gone. I'll stick with my blackberry wine. I thought about pouring it out, but you know how I feel about wasting things. So I left it in the bar. Are you angry with me?" "I was, thinking you had lied to me yet again. It is time for your punishment Lil Bit. I am going to make sure you will never lie to me again. Do you remember the position you are to take?" Ashe asked. Shame came over Lil Bit's face looking to the floor she answered, "Yes Master, may I prepare? Ashe answered, "Yes you may," as he left the closet he removed his belt from around his waist and stood at the end of the bed. Lil Bit let her skirt fall to the floor. After stepping out of it she picked it up, folded it, and placed it on one of the racks. Then she unbuttoned her blouse, folded it, and placed it on top of her skirt. She went to the doorway but his piercing eyes took her by surprise standing there in just her black lace bra, matching g-sting, black garter belt attached to thigh high stockings, and black heels. She raced back into the closet reaching for her robe in an attempt to cover her body. Seeing that look made Ashe come after her, and now he was pissed. Just as her hand reached the robe he grabbed her by the wrist spinning her around to see the anger in his eyes, "I don't think so!" Holding tight he pulled the belts from both of their robes. Dragging her to the end of the bed he bent her at the waste pushing her face into the mattress. In a commanding voice he said, "Don't even think about moving!" Then he tied the robe belts around the bottom two bed posts. In the same commanding voice he said, "Stand up!" Lil Bit stood and began to plea with Ashe, "Master please I'm sorry I just felt overwhelmed and shy all at once and couldn't help it. I'll be good I promise." Ashe was having none of it, without a word he tied each hand high above her head with the attached belts. She knew not to struggle any more as she didn't want to displease him again. Then Ashe ripped the heels from her feet throwing them aside leaving her dangling from her restraints. Coming up behind her he spoke, "Did you think you could get away from me? Did you think I would just let you go? You know me better than that. You are mine and you will obey! Lying earned you 15 lashes, but your little act of defiance just doubled that, and to make sure you know who's in charge half will be to your back." Lil Bit knew better than to answer the questions he asked. He knew the answers just as well as she did. Knowing he would never cause her harm, just pain she knew she had earned every lash and prepared for the first to land. Taking a step back Ashe wrapped the buckle side of his belt around his hand twice, raising his arm he said, "Now My Lil Bit you will count them off." She heard his belt come down as it struck her ass firmly. He was going to warm her up first, and she counted, "One Sir." Again the belt came down a little harder, "Two Sir." The next three came harder, "Five Sir." After that the pain started, "Six...Sir, Seven...Sir, Eight...Sir." The next one made her yelp out, "Nine....Sir, Ten....Sir, Eleven.... Sir" The pain tore through making it harder to count, "Twelve......Sir, Thirteen........Sir, Fourteen.............Sir," The final blow to her ass made the tears role down her face she struggled to count it, ".......Fifteeeeeeeen.......Sirrrr." Rubbing at the welts that now covered her ass Ashe said, "You have done well Lil Bit and for that I will let you decide if you want to take a break or finish." She knew what he wanted her to say, and she just wanted to get this over with. Never again would she lie to him, or allow her emotions to stop her from doing as she was told. "Master may we finish my punishment." Surprised by her answer he looked at her with great pride. "I knew you still had it in you Lil Bit. Count these from one." Then he brushed her hair from her back and began again. This was the first time Lil Bit would take lashes to her back. Trying to prepare herself she braced for impact not knowing what to expect. She jumped as she felt the leather bite at her back, "One Sir, Two Sir, Three Sir." The next few went about the same as they got harder and harder. The next swing of the belt made her scream, "...Seven...Sir" She was only half way now and doubted her ability to finish, "Aghhhhhh...Eight...Sir,...aghhhh...Nine...Sir, Aghhhh...........Ten.......Sir," there was no way she could make it she wanted to pass out but fought it off, "Aghhhhhhhhhh................Eleven...........Sir, Aghhhhhhhhh.......................Twelve...............Sir, she was so close she had to make it. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................Thir..............Thirteen.............Sir, Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....................Four................Fourt.............Fourteen..........Sir, Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................" Come on get it out now she thought .....................................Fifteen.....................Sirrrrrr!" Exhausted she let her head fall forward unable to think about anything but the pain. Ashe rushed to her quickly and untied her hands while holding her up so she didn't fall. Once she was free he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bed. Putting her down carefully he rolled her on her stomach. He went to the vanity, opened his shaving kit, and took out some cream. Bringing it back he sat next to her on the bed rubbing the cream across each whelp very gently. Kissing her cheek he went down and poured a double scotch. Drinking it down all at once he poured another and went to the couch. Sitting there he found himself impressed she'd made it through the punishment without passing out. No other women had ever received the same lashes without begging for him to stop or lossing conciseness. He knew deep to his core Lil Bit trusted him with every ounce of her being, and knew his punishments where always fair and precise. An hour had gone by when Lil Bit lifted herself from the bed and went to the vanity. Fixing her makeup and brushing her hair she was ready to join him again. Heading down the stairs quietly she came around the couch and took her place on the floor in front of him. Putting her hands on either side of his legs she laid her head in his lap. It was her way of asking forgiveness without speaking. Ashe ran his fingers through her long brunette hair accepting her apology. After several minuets he spoke, "Lil Bit stand and present yourself to me. I want to take in all of your beauty." Taking several steps back she slowly turned allowing him to see all she had to offer. She was still only 5'4" and her body remained firm without being over muscular. She had round firm breast, soft sun touched skin, a firm flat stomach, and her perfectly round ass swallowed her g-string between her cheeks. Unable to hold back any longer Ashe stood taking in the distance between them, he grabbed the back of her hair pulling her head back kissing her roughly. Then he picked her up wrapping her legs around his torso pushing her back to the wall. Pulling her breasts from her bra he suckled on one while caressing the other. Lil Bit wanted to put her arms around him, but he wouldn't allow it and pinned both hands above her head with one hand. His other hand went down her stomach and between her legs. Sliding his finger up and down her lips he was pleased to see she was very wet for him. He had to have her now. Carrying her around the couch he let her slide down his body. When her feet touched the floor he turned her, kneeling he ripped her panties down hugging her ass before standing again. He undid his pants and dropped them and his boxers to the floor. Pushing Lil Bit over the back of the couch pining her with one hand he used the other to line up is throbbing cock with her tight dripping pussy. Placing a hand on each of her hips he went in slowly judging her tightness. Hearing her moan in pleasure he stopped withdrew and entered this time forcefully. He pounded her hard and with each thrust of his thick long cock he hit the entrance to her cervix. She moaned out in pure bliss at the thought of becoming his once again. About ten minuets later she asked, "Please master may I cum?" Ashe drove even harder into her answering, "Not yet My Lil Bit." As his pace quickened she was having a hard time holding back she began to wiggle beneath his strength, "Please, please Master let me come I can't hold it any longer!" Slapping her ass he said firmly, "Lil Bit you had better hold it until you have been given my permission!" His grip tightened and he plowed into her faster and faster. Lil Bit didn't know how she could, concentrating she desperately tried to hold back. Now she begged, "Master please I can't take any more, oh God Master please allow me to, please." Hearing her beg sent him over the edge reaching for her hair he pulled her up and yelled, "Cum for me now My Lil Bit!" Together they came and she shuttered so hard she felt her legs go weak. Feeling her legs buckling beneath him he held her up and pumped every drop of his seed into her womb. Still grinding slowly into her he pushed her back over the couch laying his head on her back. They stood there panting, relaxed, and loving one another like they had never been apart. He was her Master and she was his Lil Bit.
