---Lane's POV---
"First of all, let's get that trouble maker and see if she has learned her lesson." Zander said after giving Faust a steaming kiss that had me avert my eyes for a moment.
Faust's own cheeks were blazing as well but he obediently followed Zander as he motioned for his sub to follow. I hesitated beside Jethro, wondering if we had to wait here or follow, but Zander simply opened a door leading to a study before crossing his arms.
Curiosity wanted me to peek inside, but I know better than to act like that. Jethro's hand landed on my hair, nails gently scraping over my scalp much to my delight.
"Have we learned anything today? Or shall I extend your punishment Charlie?" Zander asked with such a serious tone, even I felt the need to avert my gaze.
When there was no reply from the room, Zander sighed before flicking his fingers, quietly summoning his second submissive.
The woman we had seen during our voice chat emerged, demurely handing Zander a stack of papers and a pen whilst keeping her eyes averted.
Zander simply raised his brow as she pursed her lips before Charlie sighed. "I'm sorry that I called you and Faust Daddy, while you had already said it made you uncomfortable."
Faust turned a beet red while Zander sighed and shook his head. "You know as well as I do that Faust doesn't mind, you brat."
Charlie grinned, eyes quickly flitting to her mate as she inquired "So I can keep calling him Daddy. But what about you, Daddy- I mean, Sir."
Zander raised a single brow and I could feel the menacing aura that expelled from him as Charlie deliberately slipped up.
"I may not be your Daddy, Charlie. But I am disappointed like one." He growled lowly, making Charlie bow her head remorsefully. "As a submissive, you should always be mindful of your actions and how they may look to other submissives or Dominants." He added with a wave towards us.
Zander frowned down at his submissive as she got on her knees while he continued, "Not only did you break a rule that I had warned you of before, you broke it knowing one of my old friends and his new submissive, his mate were coming over. Did you stop to consider how Lord Jethro and Lord Lane would think about your willful neglect of my rules?"
"You need to know when you can joke around and when to obey the rules, Charlie." Zander sighed, gently tapping her on the head with her written punishment lines. "I was going to use you as an example for this Kinbaku session, but I cannot reward you for your recent misbehavior."
Charlie nodded, straightening back up at Zander's command. "I understand Master and I apologize. I was honestly just teasing but like you said, I got carried away."
Zander nodded, pulling her against his body before pressing a kiss against her forehead. "I love you, me hemmaa.(My Queen, my sweetheart.) Attitude and all. I don't mind you testing and questioning my dominance, but there are limits that cannot be crossed."
I blinked in confusion, as I damn well knew that questioning a Dominant's dominance and their orders was quite a disrespectful thing to do.
Luckily, Jethro sensed my confusion and replied over our shared link. "Some submissives are known as Brats. They're a specific submissive who'll actively talk back, tease Dominants by questioning their commands or outright challenge them."
"Brats usually seek out a desired punishment, well funishment as some call it. Some Doms seek this behavior out, as they find it very satisfying to get Brats to bend to their whims."
Jethro's hand squeezed against my nape, making me shiver and give a soft purr before Jethro chuckled and spoke out loud.
"Never figured you to become a Brat Tamer." He teased, making Zander bark out a laugh as the man shook his head. The charismatic man grinned widely, sighing as he pulled Charlie off of her knees and against his chest.
"Neither did I but I love it how she keeps me on my toes. Charlie just needs to learn what lines she can cross, and which are rules never meant to be broken."
Charlie pressed a kiss against the bottom of Zander's jaw while Faust walked up, making her instantly turn and snuggle up against him.
"I'm sorry if I ever made you uncomfortable. It was never my intention to stress you out, or to make you feel embarrassed in front of Master's guests." She apologized after noticing the man's distress.
Faust nodded, giving her a weak smile that showed his unease before they tangled their fingers.
"Master Jethro and his submissive Lane, these are my two priceless gems, Faust and Charlie." Zander introduced them, placing a hand on both their heads, automatically making them lower their gazes.
Jethro hummed, glancing at the two subs before smiling at Zander when neither made eye contact. "A pleasure to meet you two."
"You may greet Jethro and Lane." Zander added, making both submissives look up, briefly making eye contact with Jethro before they murmured their greetings. Their eyes then darted towards me, giving me a warm smile.
Jethro chuckled, "You may greet them as well Lane. Submissives usually don't hold any rankings between them, though once again, it depends on their masters and the situation."
Pointing at Zander's subs, Jethro motioned towards Charlie. "Since Charlie is Zander's first sub, you could say that she's higher ranking due to seniority, but few Dominants will give their own submissives actual rankings. They are more towards the status of the Dominant."
I blinked, eyes flitting between Zander and Jethro before questioning, "So, if I were to meet a submissive of the Council-?" I hesitated, making Jethro smile while Zander snorted.
"If you were mated to anyone else besides Jethro, then yes, you would have to treat those submissives with more respect, considering they have a high status." Zander snickered, nudging Jethro playfully, "However, seeing how you're a dragon's mate, there are few who rank above you."
Clapping in his hands, Zander cleared his throat. "Anyways, let's get this show on the road. There is a lot to teach you guys and even more to explain considering a lack of experience on both your ends. With all due respect." He tacked on, sheepishly grinning at Jethro, who merely sighed and shook his head.
Zander guided us towards a room in the back of his house with a lot of natural lighting and a large open space. He smiled as I glanced around briefly, eyes lingering on certain objects that made me question if this really was just a large living room.
Jethro snorted, shaking his head as his eyes landed on some well hidden chains near the chandelier. "A massive playroom hiding in plain sight?"
"Not to sound cocky, but you aren't the only one who wishes to be taught everything there is to know about bondage and Kinbaku." Zander snickered before he glanced between us.
Motioning to take a seat on the couch as he, Faust and Charlie sat down on the opposite one. "So, how much do you need to be taught? Just Kinbaku, or do you want to start from the basics and work your way up?"
A low hum rumbled through Jethro's throat as he pulled me in his lap. "I feel it's best to start with the basics. While I may know a thing or two about bondage, I would prefer to not leave things up to chance and potentially harm my mate."
"Damn straight." Zander snorted, reaching up so his fingers gently scraped over Faust's nape. "Any proper dominant would make sure that their submissives are always taken care of. Their safety and health, both physically and mentally, should be our priority."
Leaning over, Zander murmured something in Charlie's ear, who instantly got up and started rummaging in the nearby cupboard. Eventually she returned with several samples of ropes and other fabrics.
"Before we even start about discussing materials," Zander looked up with such a stern look, I instantly averted my gaze and felt Jethro release a low grumble. "During this seminar, I will be in charge. Not only for my safety, but for the safety of all the submissives involved. Even if your shift is a dragon, it'll need to sit its ass down and listen carefully, because whatever I'm teaching will guarantee your mate's safety in any future play sessions."
It was clear that Jethro's dragon wasn't pleased with the disrespect but they both understood. Being arrogant and refusing to listen to a Master of his specialty, could lead to future injuries after all.
Zander nodded as Jethro inclined his head before he lifted up a second finger. "Secondly, under no circumstance should you ever leave a bound submissive alone without a way to safe-word. Especially not when they are suspended. All it takes is a single moment where Lane panics or for the ropes to be tied in the wrong position, and his life could be in serious danger."
"This is why communication is key, between both of you." The dark skinned man leaned forwards in his seat, locking eyes with my own. "Especially you Lane. You need to be able to tell your Master when you feel uncomfortable, when the rope is pinching or a knot is digging in your skin. Never assume that any painful or unpleasant sensation is part of the play. He needs to learn your limits, just as much as you need to learn your own."
I nodded as I leaned against Jethro's chest, who hugged me closer and pressed a kiss against my temple. "I'm not saying this to cause you distress or make you bail out of trying bondage. I'm saying this so we are all aware of the risks in order to minimize them."
We both listened closely as Zander started explaining the potential risks and how to avoid them. How I should never be bound and then forced to run around, increasing the risk of falling without any chance of bracing for impact.
Jethro snorted at that one, making Zander sigh as he nodded along. "I understand. I didn't believe anyone could be so daft, but then I had the misfortune of teaching a Dom who had tied his female sub up and then ordered her to follow him upstairs to the playroom, while she was in heels. It's one of the few times I publicly humiliated a Dom in a group seminar."
I shivered, only imagining the potential injuries that poor girl could've sustained. If she had been tied with her hands behind her back, no way to support her and more importantly, nobody who walked behind her to prevent her from falling backwards off the stairs....
Zander nodded as I visibly shivered, giving me a pointed look. "This is exactly why the submissives have all the power in this kind of relationship. Never, ever risk your safety and health if your Dominant gives you an order that is obviously dangerous or if he shows any disregard for your safety."
Reaching for the box that Charlie had brought over, Zander started displaying several bundles of ropes. "Now, materials. Don't buy just any rope and use it in a scene without testing it. Every person is different, every body is different. Some people's nerves are much more sensitive or closer to the surface than others, so each item you introduce into your play will be trial and error."
Jethro smirked as I gave him a quick glance, making me shiver as his fingers gently played along my thigh. I quickly came to realize while we were here to be taught bondage and kinbaku, this entire seminar would also be a slow burn, a form of edge play so to speak.
Which made me shiver once again, feeling my shift perk up and take notice of the situation, as I could only hope to keep my focus on the lessons and not become a pitiful mewling mess that was basically begging to be bent over the nearest surface.
