After I turned off the water she came in to shower herself. When she finished, she dressed, and we went down to the kitchen to make breakfast.We were ...itting eating our waffles and bacon when Cindi came into the kitchen walking gingerly, with Jorge right behind sporting a dazed look. Cindi winked at me as Jorge sat at the table with Jackie and me while she made bacon, eggs, and toast for the two of them. Jorge accepted a cup of coffee from Cindi and sipped at it. I wasn’t sure what, if. Apparently she wasn't getting my hint."Leah!" I exclaimed in surprise. I really didn't expect that."It's Mistress Leah to you," she seemed to delight in reminding me."Um, look," I started to stutter, "I don't know what you have in mind here..."With that Mistress Leah gave me another crack on the side of my butt."On your knees," she stated with authority."What?" I muttered, somewhat surprised."On your knees," she repeated.She then took the end of the riding crop and started tracing it down the. He was right. That was all she had left.
