{"product_id":"2940150519350","title":"Lessons in Submission: The Discipline Book (Gay, Discipline, Public Spanking)","description":"\"Yes, Master,\" several of them agreed and the others nodded obediently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"His shorter time here makes it all the more important that his experience is a positive one.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgain they agreed, smiles breaking onto some of their faces. I could feel excitement rising in the room. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere was a slight teasing note in Master's voice. It was as though he and the men at the table were in on an inside joke, as though they all knew what was coming and Master was being deliberately slow in getting to it:  tantalizing them under the guise of introducing me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlowly, Master strode to the head of the table, a hand stroking his chin and that infectiously mischievous smile on his lips.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"For those of you who haven't heard,\" he went on, \"Adam and I encountered each other at his audition for the Langston Society. Isn't that right?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, Master,\" I agreed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe nodded, his hands splayed lazily on the wooden table and his eyes closed. \"Quite a performance.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA slight rustling passed through his audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen he reopened his eyes, they fell as though by coincidence upon a small spiral-bound notebook lying in the center of the table which I had not noticed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And what's that? The Log?\" he said as though surprised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe reached out one hand and drew it towards him. A collective shiver along the table confirmed that whatever had everyone so on edge had a great deal to do with that unremarkable little book. He licked a finger, drew it open, and flicked through several pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"My goodness,\" he said. \"Look at this. Would you look at this. Four days I'm away and you acquire a rap-sheet like this?\" He tutted softly, turning a page back and then forward again. \"Now I understand the nervousness. We have some serious accounts that need settling, don't we?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sighs and shivering had stopped. He now commanded the room in utter silence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Who was my record keeper this week?\" he asked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Me, Master,\" a blond man seated two down from the end answered him. He had a lean muscularity and a well-defined face that was fixed in an expression of nervous expectation: a strange mixture of dread and excitement. Even sitting down he was two inches taller than the men to either side of him, and his pale skin was flushed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster shook his head and tutted again.  \"Hayden, Hayden, Hayden. All this happens when I leave you in charge?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHayden seemed to be holding his breath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster looked at his paralyzed, blushing form. \"That's ten spanks, isn't it? For a house poorly run?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAround the table the men nodded in confirmation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Would you come up here, please, where everyone can see you?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHayden rose carefully from his chair and made his way around the table. Master took his own chair and turned it around so that the back of it faced the room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHayden stopped beside him and stood waiting with nervous hands clasped over his bare stomach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Apologize to everybody, please. They are going to be punished because you couldn't keep them in line. If you had done your job, none of this would be necessary.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHayden turned and faced the onlookers. \"I'm sorry,\" he said in a weak voice. \"I should have been better.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe seemed to include me in his apology. Not yet understanding what that meant, I took it to be flattering. Already I was a part of something.","brand":"The Red Spot Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149449314544,"sku":"2940150519350","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150519350_p0.jpg?v=1763747189","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150519350","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
