Day 8

Ryan sat at her computer. She typed a few code phrases to format the paragraph the way her client had requested and then clicked save. There were only a few files left to convert and then she'd be done. Unfortunately, she'd been at the computer all night because her mind kept drifting to the blonde next door.

Ryan couldn't stop thinking about her. But she'd decided she had to give McKenzie some space. She needed to know if McKenzie's resolve to be her body slave was as strong as McKenzie said it was. That was why she refused to go over to Karen's to check up on the girl. If and when McKenzie was ready to continue, she knew where to find Ryan.

Once McKenzie was Ryan's slave, Ryan knew she would have no compunction about ordering McKenzie to do anything she wanted. As McKenzie's Master, it would be completely within Ryan's rights to take anything she wanted from the girl. But until that happened, McKenzie was her own person and would have to make the decisions for herself.

So Ryan waited.

It was hard, though. In her mind, she already felt as though McKenzie was hers. It just felt right. Even before they'd started this, Ryan hadn't even considered the possibility that McKenzie wouldn't be available when Ryan felt the time was right to begin training her. She'd known McKenzie was interested in her, and whether it was simple confidence or ego, Ryan had known no one would stand a chance against her in competition for McKenzie.

However, she was still pissed at the girl's actions from the day before yesterday. What seemed to be causing Ryan the most problems, though, was the deep need she felt to punish McKenzie to correct the behavior. It was Ryan's responsibility to make sure that McKenzie obeyed and she felt as though she'd failed.

Ryan shook her head as she finished up her work and updated the web site with the new files. She closed down her computer and lay down on her bed. She stared up at the ceiling and sighed.

She'd never gone through this much trouble with any of her previous submissives. Ryan knew that was probably because of the transitory nature of the relationships. She hadn't been thinking long-term and neither had they. But McKenzie was different. She called to Ryan in a way that Ryan had never experienced.

Which was why Ryan was willing to go through anything if it meant McKenzie would be hers. She just hoped McKenzie had as much faith in herself as Ryan did. Ryan was sure McKenzie would be a great slave once she understood what it meant to her. Ryan just had to wait for McKenzie to reach her own conclusions on the subject.

So Ryan waited.
