My Bully’s Love

Chapter 35

CHAPTER 35: COMING CLEAN

Waiting out in the lounge at my father’s law firm, I struggle to sit still. I’m so nervous about how my dad is going to react about the video. I know Jace and I are both adults, but come on, what parent wants to hear a guy call their daughter a whore, and other dirty things as he is about to have sex with her? Yep, this isn’t going to be pretty at all.

Jace keeps placing his hand on my thigh to keep it from bouncing up and down as we wait for my dad to finish with his current client. My dad has a full schedule today, but he told me that we could come in and talk while he ate his lunch in his office, so here we sit. I swear, sitting here, waiting, is straining on my nerves, but I’m glad that I have Jace with me. l’ m not sure anymore on whether I’m worried about my dad being disappointed in me or blowing up at Jace. I just hope that we can all come out of this on speaking terms with our parents.

“You need to calm down, Ella.” Jace whispers to me.

I stare at him, dumbfounded, “Does this not worry you at all? My dad is about to see you defile his little girl after you’ve degraded her, Jace,” I keep my voice low so that Corrine, my dad’s receptionist, doesn’t hear me, “He’s not going to take that too well!”

He shrugs, “There isn’t much that we can do about it, Ella. It’s not like he can forbid you to see me, because you are an adult.”

I look at the guy who I truly believe that I have fallen in love with, and I cover his hand on my thigh with my own, “I just don’t want him to hate you, Jace. I don’t think I would be able to handle that, and I can’t choose between you and my parents.”

He cups my face and looks me straight in the eye, “Both your parents and I would never make you choose. Your parents love you and only want to see you happy, so as long as they know you are happy,

then they won’t make you choose. Granted, they are going to be pissed, well, your dad will be, anyway, but hopefully he won’t say anything about the video to your mom.”

“I’ll make him promise me that he won’t,” I state firmly, “Besides, it will be breaking client confidentiality, so he can’t.”

My dad’s door to his office opens and a man in an expensive suit comes walking out with my father. They are still chatting quietly, but I barely make out something about divarce and soon-to-be-ex-wife, just before they shake hands and part ways. When my dad sees us waiting for him, he smiles,

“Come on in, you two.”

My legs shake as I walk, and if it wasn’t for Jace keeping his hand on my lower back, letting me know that he is right there, I might have actually turned around and ran from the building. This is the first time in my life that I have not Jooked forward to talking to my father. Just as we are sitting, Corrine comes in with a delivery bag and hands it to my

dad. She winks at me when she turns to leave, and I smile back at her.

“So, what is this emergency that couldn’t wait until I got home tonight?” My father asks as he pulls his favorite turkey and swiss cheese on a hoagie bun, out of the paper sack, along with a bag of chips.

Jace is the one to speak first, “Someone sent Ella a video this morning, and we are pretty sure that it’s to blackmail her into dropping the case.”

“Why would you think that?” My dad’s brows furrow as he studies Jace,

“Well, the video is kind of explicit, and I had been told the other day that a friend overheard Mason’s twin sister talking on the phone with someone abut Ella. Apparently, somebody has been keeping tabs on your daughter to try and find dirt on her.”

“I see,” my father looks at me concerned, “So, what’s on this video? I find it hard to believe that anybody would find dirt on you, Ella,”

“That’s what I said as well.” Jace chuckles nervously.

My father’s eyes glance at Jace briefly, and then return back to me, “What did they find on you, Ella.” My dad asks sternly.

“Before I show you, Dad, you need to keep an open mind, okay…and you need to promise not to get mad.” I plead with

him

“Hand it over, Ella.”

“Promise me, Dad…”

“I can’t promise if it’s something that is going to hurt this case!” His voice raises just a tad.

*That’s the thing, it can’t hurt the case, because it has nothing to do with the case,” I say quickly, “but it will be humiliating if it gets out onto the internet, and I think that’s what they were threatening if I don’t drop the case.”

“Hand…me..the…video.” My dad says really slow.

“Okay,” I pull up the video and start to hand it over the desk to him, “but just know that everything, and I mean everything, on this video is consensual.”

“Jesus,” my father closes his eyes as he curses because I think he now realizes what may be on the video.

His jaw ticks as he glances from me to Jace before hitting the play icon. The volume is still up, so Jace and I can hear everything, which only makes it worse as I watch my father’s expression go from bad to worse. He doesn’t finish watching it as he taps on the stop and tosses my phone onto his desk. He doesn’t say anything, just sets his elbows on his desk, clasps his fingers togethers, and presses his forehead against them. The silence goes on for eternity it seems like.

glance over at Jace, and he grabs my hand and squeezes it trying to tell me that it will be okay. When my father moves, it’s only to lean back in his chair and glare at Jace. I have to give the man beside me credit, he is holding my dad’s glare very well. Jace is ready to take on my father’s wrath no matter how bad it is.

Finally, my father addresses Jace, “What do you have to say for yourself?”

“With all due respect, Ethan, what happens between Ella and I, is our business. We are not ashamed of our sexual preferences, and neither one of us will apologize for it. We brought this to you only because they are wanting her to drop the case, and also, because someone climbed up that tree and recorded a video without either of our consent.”

My father’s face is beet red when he turns to me, “So, you’re okay with him calling you a whore and treating you like a common slut off the street?”

“Dad, it isn’t like that! Jace doesn’t think that of me…and it turns me on when he says those things.” I look away from himn when I say the last part, not that I’m ashamed, but I’m embarrassed that I’m telling my dad these things,

“I would never disrespect your daughter, Ethan. I love Ella, but our tastes when it comes to intimacy is a bit more… colorful than most people’s tastes.” Jace tries explaining, but it doesn’t seem to be doing any good at the moment.

“Dad, please don’t be mad at Jace, he does it because I like it.” It’s not quite a lie, because I do like it, but I didn’t know liked it until Jace started it.

“I just don’t get this whole, what do you call it…” my dad thinks on the word he’s looking for but Jace answers for him.

“Kink lifestyle.”

“Yes, that’ What is it about talking down to others like that?”

“li’s a bit hard to explain to people who don’t have the same tastes as we do,” Jace says, “but know that Ella is my world, and I know Ella’s needs and wants, and I just want to make her happy.”

I squeeze his hand and smile at him, falling for him just a little bit more. I then turn back to my dad, “I love you, Dad, but this is my private life, and as Jace said, we came to you about it because of the implication of the message. We also wanted to talk to you before we talk to the of the family tonight about our relationship”

My dad cuts me off, “Ella, your mom and his parents are not going to want to see this video!”

“We are not going to show them or tell them about the videa, and as my lawyer, I want you to promise that you won’t tell anyone either. We just want to put our relationship out in the open instead of sneaking around.”

I can tell that my father is still pissed, but he agrees with rne about not mentioning the video to anyone. He then turns to Jace, “I had a high regard for you. Jace, and now, I jusi don’t know what to think. You have disappointed me.”

“I’m sorry you feel that way. Ethan. I’ve always looked up to you as a father figure, and still do, but I will respect your

Coming Clean

feelings.” Jace is polite, but I can tell that my father’s words have hurt him.

“Don’t put this all on Jace, Dad! If you’re going to be disrespectful to him then don’t expect me to talk to you!” I stand up, trying to pull Jace up with me, but he pulls me back down so I’m back in my seat.

“Apologize to your dad, Ella. He has every right to feel what he’s feeling after learning about this. He wasn’t disrespecting me, but you are disrespecting him, and I won’t sit here and watch you do that on my behalf.” I just stare at Jace as he orders me to say I’m sorry to my dad. He is using his Dom voice as well, and he knows that I always obey when he uses it, but I can’t this time.

I snatch my hand out of Jace’s and turn to my father, “I’m sorry if you think I’m disrespecting you, but I’m not, I’m just telling you about my own feelings on the matter.” I glance at Jace because I used his own words, and then I turn and hurry out of my dad’s office. Not stopping until I get to Jace’s Jeep, I break down as soon as I get to where it’s parked. Of course, it’s locked, but it doesn’t matter, I just needed to get out there. I knew my father wouldn’t be happy, but I couldn’t listen to him talk down to Jace like that. I won’t choose between them, but I will stick up for whichever one is getting the wrong end of the stick.

After giving myself a few minutes, I wipe the tears from my face as I wait for Jace. I probably shouldn’t have left him with my dad like that, but I felt like I was suffocating in there. My parents don’t know about how I spent the last two years being bullied and not having anyone, feeling lonely on a daily basis, so of course, they are not going to realize how much being with Jace and being able to break free from the shackles of loneliness means to me. I don’t think anybody other than Jace would have been able to see deep enough inside me to know that my needs differ from most. Hell, I didn’t even realize the extent to what I needed, but Jace did, and I know that he is being patient with me as I begin to explore.

I’m so deep in thought that I’m not even aware of my surroundings. I see nothing, I hear nothing, until a horn blares, jerking me from my own thoughts. Looking around, I see an angry Jace stomping toward me and the Jeep. He must have walked in front of the car that honked, because I doubt he is seeing

anything else while his eyes are focused on me. He doesn’t say anything to me as he unlocks the doors and holds my door open for me. Once I’m settled into my

seat, he grabs the seatbelt and stretches it across my body, buckling me in. He then slams the door and walks around to the driver’s side. Only when he is in the Jeep and he’s started it, do our eyes meet and he talks to me.

“You were a very bad girl in there, Ella.”

JACE POV

I sit here and take in every word that Ethan says to me. It hurts; I’m not going to lie, but I also know that he’s angry and he has to let it out. Not everybody understands the dynamics of the kink lifestyle, and that’s okay, so I let him say what he needs to say, even if it does hurt. Ethan is like a father to me, so the disappointment that I see in his eyes is the toughest to take, but I won’t apologize about loving his daughter. Fuck, I’d probably be doing the same thing if I had a daughter and saw what he did without having any understanding.

When Ella lets loose on her father, I sit back and let her have her say, proud of her for standing up for herself, and yet disappointed because I find her being disrespectful to her father. It’s when she tells Ethan that she won’t talk to him anymore and then tries pulling me from my chair, that I’ve had enough, and can’t let her continue or else she’s going to say something that she’s going to regret.

I pull her back down into her chair and muster up my Dom voice enough for her to recognize it, but not to the extent to where her father would get even more pissed at me. Staring at her, I keep my voice calm but stern, “Apologize to your dad, Ella. He has every right to feel what he’s feeling after learning about this. He wasn’t disrespecting me, but you are disrespecting him, and I won’t sit here and watch you do that on my behalf.”

Ella stuns me when she rips her hand out of mine and turns back to her father. I don’t pay too much attention to what she is saying because I’m seeing red at the moment. To display this kind of childish tantrum is uncalled for, and I wouldn’t have thought that she would react this way. Once she runs from Ethan’s office, I stare at the door for a moment before turning back to Ethan. I’m pretty sure we have matching expressions on our faces.

I clear my throat, “I’m really sorry that you had to find out this way, and even more sorry that you had to see that, but I do love Ella. I have loved her since I was twelve years old, and I will continue to do so as long as she allows me to,” I run my hand down my face and sigh, “Those things I said in the video. I don’t think that of your daughter, but it is what we both like. All I’m trying to do is keep her happy, I’ll do anything in regard to her happiness, but I will also punish her when the need arises.” He goes to say something, but I hold up iny hand to stop him, “I know what you’re thinking, Ethan, but no, I would never abuse Ella. Just do us both a favor and do a little research please. Maybe once you know a little more about it, you may be able to deal with it better I’m not saying that you have to like it, but at least it should put your mind

Coming Clean

to rest knowing that she is with someone that has her best interests at heart and who will take good care of her.”

Ethan’s jaw is still clenched but he nods at me and hands me Ella’s phone. I nod back at him, and then take my leave to go search for my disobedient little sub. I’m already thinking of the best way to punish her once we get back to my place. It’s high time we take it up a notch, and work on her obedience instead of pissing around because I don’t want to push her too soon. She’s had enough time to come to terms with everything and today she will see what happens when a sub disobeys their Dom, especially in a public setting.

My eyes are laser-focused on the woman standing all by herself beside my Jeep. I don’t pay attention to anything going on around me, and even when a car honks at me for walking in front of it, I don’t even stop. My sight never leaves Ella. As I get closer, I can see that she has been crying by her puffy face and red eyes, but I can’t show concern, even though all I want to do now is take her into my arms and let her know that it’s all going to be okay.

Instead, I say nothing as I open up the door and wait for her to climb in before I make sure she is buckled. I don’t mean to slam the door, but I’m holding on by a very thin piece of thread, and I need to get it all out before I give her the punishment that she deserves. I could see confusion in her eyes; she’s wondering who my anger is towards, but I will not say. I will never say when I’m angry at her, disappointed, yes, but never angry.

Once I get into the driver’s seat and I’ve started the Jeep, I finally turn and give her my full attention, “You were a very bad girl in there, Ella.” | glance at the time and notice that we still have a little over three hours before one of my parents get home, but I don’t know if that will give us enough time. Changing my mind about going back to my place, I turn my Jeep in the opposite direction. I’ll have more options in doling out Ella’s punishment this way as well.

I can see in my peripheral view that Ella is glancing around, trying to figure out where we are going. When I told her that she was a very bad girl, she knew right away not to say anything to me, so I’m not surprised that she hasn’t asked me where we are going. I don’t plan on telling her either, she will see once we are there. Is it a bad thing if I’m getting hard just thinking about punishing my little sub? I’m talking about really punishing her, not just a few spanks with my hand either. I still owe her the forty swats with the paddle, but now she’s added to that punishment, and I’m looking forward to using other techniques as well.

As I pull into the parking lot of the Training Center, I see that both Jude and Riku are here as well. I won’t be needing their assistance, but I wouldn’t mind introducing them to my girl, only once she has thoroughly been punished. Until then, she gets no privileges, and that includes meeting my friends. Ella

glances at me while removing her seatbelt, hoping I will give her some insight as to where we are at, but I keep my Dom face on. In fact, I’m in complete Dom mode and I expect her to act like the perfect sub while we are here.

I open her door for her and grab her hand, not saying anything untill stop right outside the front door and turn to her, “We are in D/s mode as of right now, until I say otherwise. I will expect you to act accordingly, because there will be consequences if you do not. Do you understand, Ella?”

“Yes, Jace.”

I shake my head, “Here, you will either call me Master Jace, or Sir. I’d prefer Sir, but it’s your decision. You will not speak unless spoken to or I’ve given you permission to speak freely. Do you understand, Ella?”

“Yes, Sir.” Her eyes are wide, and her cheeks are pink as she responds with a breathless voice. I want to grin because these are the signs of a turned-on woman, but I keep my expression stern.

“This is where you will receive your punishment, because there so many more implements and options here. You are going to have a very sore bottom, among other things…”

I don’t expect an answer from her, so I turn and open the door, pulling her through right behind me. The facility is busy this time of day with Dom and sub classes, so there are quite a few people walking around. A sub that pays for extra training, and that I work with in the evenings, stops me.

“Master Jace, are we still on for tonight?” The sub practically bats her lashes at me, and I feel Ella stiffen beside me

Ah shit, this doesn’t look good at all, but I can handle it. This sub always flirts with me, and she gets punished for it each time, “No, Lea, I will not be working tonight, but I will make sure that I set you up with Master Jude, since you have forgotten the rules.”

Her eyes go as round as saucers, “Please Master Jace, any other trainer, but him!”

“You know better than to speak to a Master without his permission, and I’ve told you numerous times to stop flirting with me,” I pull Ella up, so she is now standing beside me, giving her a small smile before turning back to Lea, “This is my sub, and girlfriend, Ella. You will not disrespect her again by flirting with me.”

Coming Clean

The sub glances at Ella, “I’m sorry that I was flirting with your Master. I did not realize that he had someone.” She seems to be remorseful, but only time will tell.

“Be in the usual training room at the usual time and a trainer will meet you there.” I don’t say goodbye or anything, I just continue on my way, wanting to get Ella away from everybody, so they don’t upset her even more. Had I known Lea would pull something like this, I would have waited until I knew that all classes were in session before bringing Ella inside.

I can tell that my girl is biting at the bit to say something but is trying to be obedient. I’m not going to give her a reprieve, though. Once her punishment is over, then she can ask all the questions that she would like, but not until then. The more she remains quiet and obedient, the harder my dick gets. Yeah, it also gets hard when she is disobedient, knowing that I get to punish her, but when she is obeying my commands and acting like a true sub, that gets me hard as well.

I first bring her in to where the trainer’s locker room is, so I can grab a hair tie to put her hair back. I don’t want to catch her hair on anything and hurt her, so I quickly braid her hair and tie it off. I then take her to a room that is very seldom used, so I know we won’t be disturbed. It’s a bit on the smaller side, but I don’t need a lot of room for what I’m using it for. It does have a big two-way mirror on one wall, where others can watch whatever scene is taking place, but we won’t be using it, not that Ella will know that. In fact, it’s the complete opposite, I will let her think that we are being watched as part of her punishment, as long as she doesn’t have a serious freak out over it. We will see how she handles exhibitionism; she

doesn’t need to know that I have no plans on showing her off like that to anybody, at least not unless she wants me to.

“Strip and then kneel and wait for me to return; I need to take care of something. I expect you to be ready for your punishment when I get back.” I leave through a different door then what we came through. It leads out to the hall where the two-way mirror faces and when I look through it, I can see her plain as day.

Glancing around to make sure nobody else is around, I turn my attention back to my girl. She looks around the room from where she stands, observing the furniture and all the implements on display. I notice the slight shiver that runs through her, as well as the small smile on her lips. “Oh, Ella, let’s see how long that smile stays on those pretty little lips of yours.” I say to myself out loud as I watch her strip. Just as she gets onto her knees in the Nadu pose, I feel a presence behind me.

“Very beautiful, Lil’ D,” Jude’s voice is low, “No wonder you are so pussy whipped.” I spin around to see my friend checking Ella out

“Eyes off my girl, Jude.”

He lifts a brow, “You have seen Beth naked a million times, but you have an issue with me looking at your girl?”

“There’s a difference, Beth doesn’t mind it, and Ella is still learning. I don’t want to show her off like this unless she is okay with it.” I scowl and I quickly hit the button on the wall that closes the blinds to the room. I will have to do it from the other side as well to make sure nobody opens it up from out here while we are busy.

Jude holds his hands up, “Fair enough, I’ll respect that,” he pauses, “but I do hope that one day she will allow an audience because I would love to see a scene between the two of you. She looks so innocent, Lil’ D. What are you here for?”

“She’s got a few punishments coming to her and I don’t want to be interrupted by my parents.” I stick my hands in my pockets.

“Damn, you’re going to give that innocent-looking girl a punishment and not let me watch?” He literally pouts his lips.

“Why yes, yes I am.” I grin.

“Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll find my own entertainment.”

“By the way, are you busy at seven tonight? I’m supposed to have training with Lea, but Ella and I have to take care of something tonight.”

“Why don’t you just cancel it?” He asks because normally I would. I go on to tell him why I want him to train her, and of course, punish her for what she had done, “Oh, nice. Why didn’t you just say so from the beginning?” He rubs his hands together, “she hates being edged and she cries so pretty.”

I roll my eyes at my friend; he enjoys his job way too much, but I can’t really blame him. If I didn’t have Ella, then I would probably be just like him. I thank him and then wait until he is gone before opening the blinds back up. Eila is still on her knees, her palms lying face-up on her thighs, her back straight with her tits all perked-up. We keep the rooms a little on the chillier side, because it can get a bit warm while we scene or hand out punishments. It also helps to keep the sub’s

nipples hard, so it’s easier to play or torture them. I go back into the room and close the blinds from the inside before facing the woman on her knees in front of me, “Are you ready to be punished Elā?” “Yes, Sir..” wana
