Artur's thoughts

Artur kept his distance for fear of crossing lines that couldn't be uncrossed. He was stern with her during her punishments but reveled in her reaction and the powerful release they produced in them both. Artur couldn't help but notice that she came for punishment for making truly paltry mistakes. He made sure he gave her the same punishment regardless since he was becoming obsessed with this shift in their relationship. He found it difficult to focus on his work and lost sleep thinking about her. When she was near, he was always hard for her.
