“That’s awesome,” Daisy said. “William, Rose can start tonight, can’t she?”
The other woman pulled the men out of their conversation.
“That’s earned you ten, Daisy. Yes, she can start tonight,” William said.
Frowning, Rose turned back to Daisy. “Punishment.” She mouthed the word to her.
Still not understanding, Rose put the word aside and figured she’d ask Peter later.
When William was finished talking with Peter, he escorted her back to his office for her to fill out her application form. Peter stayed behind with Daisy.
“Usually, I have a period of time to see if I can trust you. Peter has vouched for you, so I’m going to trust him,” William said.
She glanced up from her form. “I’ll do everything I can to make him proud.”
“Do you have any idea what goes on at this club?” He sat back thoughtful.
Rose stopped writing. She was putting Peter down as her emergency contact and his address as her new home.
“Not really.”
“But you trust Peter?” William asked.
Putting the pen down, she stared at one of his friends. “When it comes to Peter I trust him completely. He would never steer me wrong.”
“You trust him.”
She nodded.
“This is a BDSM club. In the private rooms there are subs being punished and pleasured.”
Rose swallowed past the lump. “Peter’s my everything. You’re not going to scare me away. I can handle what this club can do. I’m only a waitress, and I’ll train hard.”
“Okay then, finish filling out the form.”
Nibbling her lip, she hesitated.
“What?” he asked.
“What did you mean earlier to Daisy? She said something about punishment. I don’t understand.”
“My wife is my business. She needs discipline
and punishment. By shouting and interrupting she earned ten spanks on the ass. I haven’t decided if I’ll use the cane or my hand.”
Heat filled Rose’s cheeks. Her question was answered, and she went back to filling in her form.
Once she was finished, William took her around the bar, showing her where the beer and everything else was stored.
She saw Edward had arrived during her absence.
“We’ve got a new waitress?” he asked, coming closer. Peter took a seat at the bar as Daisy took her children out of the club and to her home.
William kissed her on the way past. Rose saw the love shining between the couple, even with the punishment hanging over their heads.
“Yeah, we have. Where have you been?” William asked, standing in front of Edward.
“I’ve been in Cape Falls. I went to the diner and got my first pancake breakfast without attitude. Did you know a sweet young woman by the name of Isabel served me?” There was a dreamy look on Edward’s face.
