That was an outburst. An unnecessary one. Mason had a plan. He was going to reinforce the importance of Ginny talking to her father about her lifestyle choices. But the audacity of her questioning was crossing a line he couldn't ignore. Mason got out of the car and opened the door, gesturing Ginny to get out. She got out laughing and fumbling in her heels on the gravel driveway.
"Silly, I told you my house is way over there. This is just th-"
"Take. Off. Your clothes," said Mason.
"Ginny!" called out Ginny's father from the front door of his new mansion. "Ginny who is that?"
"Hi Daddy!" cried Ginny.
"Tell him who I am," said Mason.
"Uh-um, Daddy! This is Mason!" Ginny shouted across the lawn. Her father made a grumpy gesture and went back into the house.
"I'm going to repeat my instructions to you because you appear to be hard of hearing." Mason's voice was cool, calculating. His jaw clenched. "I want you to be naked when you are at home. Home starts at this gate. You are to dress and undress here every morning and every evening so that your whole family knows you are mine twenty-four-seven... and so does the neighborhood," he added with a miniscule smile.
"You can't be serious? I didn't sign on for some camping trip! I want to be a concubine. I want to be a sexual servant. I want to be loved! And this... this is preposterous!"
"Would you like to know what it's like to be a real concubine? Right now?" he asked, completely calm. Ginny's face changed, her eyes lightened an almost unnoticeable degree.
"Right now?" she asked.
"Right here. But I need you to take off your clothes." Ginny complied, sensing she was about to experience something she had always dreamed of, and she was, but not this. The moment she was nude Mason pinned her over the hood of her car and whispered in her ear calculatingly. "As your dominant partner I welcome questions of any kind, given they are presented in a respectful manner." An unscheduled exhale escaped his lips. His weight pressed upon her, with exceptional pressure where his hand held her wrists together high on her back. "This ensures learning. However, your questioning this evening in the car was rude, disrespectful and bratty. This is what happens to a concubine when they behave this way." He smacked her with his bare hand, which, to Ginny's inexperienced rear felt like an oar. He slapped her hard, enough so she jerked forward on the hood of the car, engine still warm, heating her torso, Mason's hand heating her ass. For the first two hits she only made muffled gurgling noises, but she began to let out pitiful little cries. Mason let his spanking weaken, loosened his grip on her and leaned in to hear those sad sounds until they subsided and he began slapping her again. But the cry was gone and Mason felt he had made a point. Ginny began to fold her clothes and looked up at him from beneath orange strands of hair. Mrs. Johnson was standing still as death just outside her front gate three houses down and staring.
"Because of your outbursts I cannot let your previous mistake with your assignment go unpunished. But, I want things to be right with us, so your consequence will be to tell your dad everything about us. Tell him everything you did and how you want to live." Ginny smiled, as if relieved. "This may be my body," he said, grabbing her, "and my rules. But this is his property and you follow his rules. Tell him I said that. Let me know how it goes tomorrow." He drove away. Ginny walked into the house, and shortly after she was shunned to the pool castle, where she already lived. She felt foolishly dirty for telling her folks, her mom seemed especially betrayed, but a part of her felt lighter.
The next morning Mason watched her from across the street, as she dressed herself. He watched her humiliated posture and slow movements. The method, clothing, and demeanor with which she dressed, on the gravel filled driveway reeked of defeat, disappointment, and delicious reluctant acceptance. After the previous evening's screaming and yelling on the part of her parents, and strangely calm discipline administration on the part of Mason, she didn't know what she would do wrong today, and what sort of "consequences" Mason would dream up.
"Did you tell him I respect his rules?" Mason asked right away.
"I told him something like that," she said. Mason sighed, trying not to seem disappointed. "He seemed to get how deep you were about it but then he kicked me out," she said.
"Well, there's nothing you can do about that," said Mason, nonchalantly starting the car. "He'll come around. In the meantime, I have an assignment for us for first period, possibly all day long."
"But school-" she protested.
"I'm arranging right now," he said texting, "for Amanda to take notes for you. However you have to be back for the last period of the day. Mrs. Roberts will notice your absence. Your dress code is rule number one, and needs to be discussed, however your grades need to be maintained as well. I expect an A on Mr. Feldman's History essay tomorrow."
