almost as though he were taking
special pleasure in knowing she was watching, the Dom positioned a rough wooden
stand in front of Wayne. Then he clamped a metal collar around Wayne’s neck and
used the attached chain to drag him into position on all fours, his naked ass
in the air.
    Once the Dom fastened the other end of the
chain to the top of the stand, Wayne had no choice but to look up at her window
while the Dom kicked at his legs until they were spread wide apart. He then
picked up a vicious-looking cane and striped Wayne’s thighs and ass until she
could see the welts from where she was.
    Lanie thought it peculiar that while tears
poured down Wayne’s cheeks, he seemed highly aroused.
    I shouldn’t be watching this.
    She turned away but something compelled her
to look back at the scene. Though the Dom had treated Wayne with what seemed to
her like careless cruelty, Wayne looked content. When the Dom roughly caressed
Wayne’s flaccid cock before donning a condom and fucking his ass, she could
imagine Wayne having an orgasm from the rapturous look on his face. It was as
though he had received a special gift when the Dom moved in front of him and
allowed Wayne to lick the semen off his cock after he discarded the condom.
    Later, in her bed alone, Lanie thought
about her experience with JD and wondered if someday she might ask him for a
measure of punishment if her conscience were to bother her. Knowing the
underhanded political deals Wayne arranged at Bert’s insistence, she imagined
he might often ask his master to punish him, even brutally.
    She was glad that no matter how many
problems might arise, she and Wayne had agreed, in principle at least, that
their farce of a marriage was over.

Chapter Six
     
    When Wayne came to Lanie’s room early the
next morning, fully dressed and looking the part of a powerful senator ready to
take on the state’s weightiest problems, she refused to get up from her
dressing table and look him in the eye.
    He cleared his throat, his voice a little
strained when he spoke. “I have to apologize for letting you see me as I really
am. Master thought you should witness a scene like the one last night, just so
you’d know why you can never satisfy me. I didn’t want to do it, never wanted
to show you the real me.”
    “Really? Then why did you?” It surprised
Lanie that he would stoop to offering an explanation, especially to her.
    “Because my master ordered it. Because he
thinks that since you’ve flaunted your lover, I need to flaunt mine in front of
you.”
    Lanie glanced in the mirror and saw
embarrassment in his expression. “Don’t talk in riddles. Just say what you have
to say and get out of here.”
    “You left a note downstairs that you needed
to see me this morning. I assume it’s because of what you saw last night.”
Since she wouldn’t get up, he stood beside the vanity table, presumably so she
couldn’t help seeing him.
    She turned to face him, recalling only now
that she’d dashed off that note when she’d first gotten home. “Your
assumption’s wrong. I wanted to let you know I filed papers yesterday to
dissolve our marriage, and to talk with you about how we might deal with Bert’s
reaction. Right now I have no stomach to look at you, much less talk, so just
explain the snide remark about my lover and get the hell out of my sight.”
    He spoke quietly as usual, but with
unexpected venom. “Your affair with Ackerman’s not so secret anymore.”
    Lanie tried to ignore Wayne’s sarcasm. “Come
on. I’ve done nothing to try to keep JD secret from you. Other than meeting him
socially once or twice, I never spent any time with him before that seminar in
Key West, which if you recall was after the discussion during which we agreed
to divorce.”
    “I recall that we said we’d continue being
discreet until the papers were filed.” Wayne focused his gaze on the floor, as
though he didn’t want to look directly at her.
    “We have been discreet. Very.
