"Where were you?" I heard her bitter tone as soon as I placed my foot in the living room. She was sitting around the dinner table, set at the side of the kitchen, still in her office clothes.
Her eyes were gazing at me with frigid coldness in them, her hands joined together with her poised posture as she added. "Who were you with? What were you doing?"
"I - I was having-- having lunch with Siya." I stuttered, trying to portray tranquility, striding deliberately closer to her.
"Siya?" She worded it as if she already knew and hated that name when I spelled it out from my lips. "Is that why you didn't find it important to inform me?" Her words struck me like lightning and I froze in the midway.
"It's not like that, babe." I felt my heart changing a Rythem as once again I noticed the anger flow from her lips, adding, "Didn't I tell you to stay away from that bitch?"
She stood tall after her hands slapped against the wooden table, roaring just like her tone. Full of fury!
"She's just a friend, baby. It's not what you're thinking." I responded with my agitated tone, trying to find the courage to step further towards her and clear the misunderstanding.
"How dare you go out without telling me!" Her tone once again took a turn after she took a deep breath, a shift of impassive coldness. It scared me even more. The turmoil that I was seeing in her, was now a dangerous face of calmness.
It left me lacking of words. I knew I had crossed the white line of her rules. I stood there dazed, numb to my senses, blankly staring at her when she growled. "Why are you quiet? Answer me!"
I was snapped back into reality and was watching her step angrily towards me.
"Are you going to answer me or do I make you?" Her feet halted before me, her hands gripping my collar. She jerked me and my tongue began working with my lips, wording, "I thought I'd come back early and tell you myself."
"Is this your excuse?" She jerked with her tone and my collar, adding, "Do I have to teach you how to ask for permission as well?"
"It's not about permission is it?" Dare. Provocation fell out of my lips, and it left me cursing myself after. Her anger had made me unstable. She was jealous and terrifying. It made my mind work unethically. I wanted to hear her say she was jealous.
Suddenly, she scoffed and began laughing, releasing her grasp from my collar, and stepped back, swaying her head in the air. I had turned her angrier.
"I'll tell you what's it about and I will make sure you never forget it." Abruptly her eyes and tone shifted, darker and deeper. "In the bedroom right now!"
I was ripped apart from any clothing on my skin as she sat on the chair, watching me tremble. "Before we began. Do you know what's going to happen?"
Baffled, I glanced over at the many toys resting on the bed and gazed back at her, nodding in response. "You're going to punish me."
"For what?" She questioned, and my eyes fell to the ground, my hands anxiously rubbing against each other. "For not asking your permission before I left and making you jealous."
I knew what I was doing. And was I taking a risk? Indeed!
A gloomy silence fell in between us, making my eyes seek her expressions. She wasn't happy at all.
"You think I'm jealous!" It wasn't a question. It was a warning! I could hear it in her tone. The way she delivered those words was not a good sign.
She scoffed once again, but with no laughter this time, ordering me on my knees. "Rub your nipples." She added, urging my fingers to begin as told.
It was dry and cold, but the slow sensation was slowly turning my body warm. "It's - It's dry," I complained as I could only feel stingy and gazed into her indifferent eyes.
She said nothing, her eyes just numbingly watching me as I continued, unable to say another word. It meant I had to go on without complaining further.
