The 30 Day Sub by Alaska Angelini Read Free Book Online Page B

dangling cuff that hung
from one of the sides of the cross.
    It took everything Torrance had not to walk forward
and strip her down. He wanted her on that cross. Wanted to
test her pain tolerance with his riding crop. Hell, the flogger would be
enjoyable, too.
    As she inspected everything, he sat her bags down
and left for his room. He took the list from his dresser drawer and looked at
her master’s orders. The disgust that washed over him he knew was unwarranted.
Yeah, some of the things were ridiculous, but nothing worth him getting all
worked up over. He headed back into Cate’s room and handed it to her. She
peered down and her head jerked up.
    “I haven’t done over half of these things, Tor. Why
didn’t you show me this earlier?”
    The answer wouldn’t come. He truthfully had no idea.
Maybe it was because he couldn’t bear to see her do anything for ‘him’, or it
could have been because of how time-consuming each item was. He’d never get to
see her. “Guess they just didn’t seem like a big deal to me.”
    “I’m supposed to have a log of my weight loss from
day one. We’re on day nine!” She collapsed to the bed. “He’s going to be so
upset with me. I haven’t even met him, yet I already feel like I failed.”
    “Nonsense.” Torrance sat next to her. “I’ll just tell him I forgot to give it to you. Solved.”
    Cate sighed. “Thank you. That might make it better.”
Her eyes went back to the list.
      A knock had
Torrance groaning. He looked at Cate. “If it’s a girl, I’m going to assume
someone is playing a joke on me, because this doesn’t happen. Ever.” He stood and held his hand out to her. “Come. You
will not stay back here and hide out of sight.”
    Cate took his hand and they answered the door
together. A man handed him a package, addressed to Cate. It was from her master,
which instantly put a sour taste in Torrance’s mouth.
    “Looks like someone got gifts from Brazil.” He shut
the door and she grabbed the box from his hand.
    “Presents!” The
excitement in her voice was evident, and made him want to go out and buy her
something big. Something that would put whatever was inside that box to shame.
Cate took the package into the kitchen and used a knife to cut through the
tape. All Torrance could do was watch as she opened it and pulled out a letter.
As she began to read out loud, he rested his arms on the bar.
    My
dearest Cate,
    I
have enclosed an outfit, along with toys for your use. You are to wear the
outfit tonight as you meet up with Michael at Wet Dreams. Your trainer is to
show you off for me. Michael knows to give me a report in the morning. Tell
your trainer I want plenty of pictures sent to the email at the bottom. That
goes for at the club, as well as you––
    She paused .
    ––with
the toys. I
expect them in my inbox by first thing in the morning.
    Sir
    P.S.
I’ve set you up with an email account. You are to write me daily and tell me
how your training is going. I’d like to know more about my submissive, so be
sure to add in details about your interests, etc. I’m enjoying the pictures
that Michael sent me of you at the holiday parties. Can’t wait to see how your
progress is going. By my calculations you should have dropped about 7 lbs. by
now. Keep up the hard work. It’ll pay off.
    The fear on Cate’s face turned Torrance’s stomach.
There was no way he was sending pornographic pictures to her master. And what
was it with him and weight? Torrance clenched his jaw so he wouldn’t say
something to make the situation worse. He was definitely talking to Michael
tonight about who this guy was.
    She pulled the short black dress out. “I’ll be right
back.” She grabbed the box and headed for her room. Torrance set there for over
an hour, waiting for her to return. The sound of the door opening made him look
up. Slowly, Torrance rose from the couch. The black dress hugged her curves
perfectly. She’d applied make-up and had her hair up high on
