Amelia watched the exuberant young woman hugging Josh from the back, but glanced away when he pushed his chair back and pulled her around and into his lap. The other woman squealed, and Amelia smiled, a bit ruefully. Of course he would be with someone who was young and sexy.

Fifty-two years old, Amelia thought, what am I even doing here? Josh looked like he was about her age, but of courses that didn’t mean his partner would be. Mentally rolling her eyes, she watched the other woman snuggle into Josh’s lap. 

To Amelia’s surprise, Josh kissed the girl on the cheek and, “Up!” he said, ”It’s Amelia’s first time here and we’re talking.” Then, to Amelia, “This is Jenna. She calls herself a brat, but she isn’t really. Just a bit sassy.”

Jenna grinned, “That’s true. Hi, Amelia. It’s nice to meet you.” Before Amelia could respond, Jenna turned back to Josh. ”I have to go anyhow. I’m the demo bottom in the rope workshop and I’m supposed to be meeting David to get ready.” 

Josh grinned, “Go then. Do you need a motivator?”

Jenna mimed being in deep thought, one finger to the side of her mouth. ”Hmmm, a motivator? Yes, please, Sir Joshua.” To Amelia’s surprise, the woman turned so her back was to Josh. She bent forward a little bit, making her bottom stick out. Quickly, Josh smacked her butt, she laughed, looked over her shoulder. ”Thank you, Sir, may I have another, please?” 

“No, you may not,” he said, pretending to be stern. ”Go do what you’re supposed to be doing!”

Giggling, Jenna replied, “Yes, Sir!” adding, “Bye, Amelia! Nice to meet you,” as she left.

Josh turned his full attention back to Amelia. ”Cute, isn’t she?” he said. ”She really was a brat a while back, but she’s been Sir David’s submissive for a while now and he had really straightened her up, even before I left.”

Amelia didn’t know how to respond, or what to think. It did register that Jenna was not Josh’s submissive, and apparently Josh was a Dom, and that was all good. But what did it mean that Sir David had ‘straightened Jenna up?” And would Josh – or anyone – think that she needed straightening up? Yikes.
