Yes, barely.

The timer counts to zero and I keep my word. I am fairly certain that Valerie wouldn't last another moment as I pull my hand away and she collapses as much as she can without falling over, panting and shaking from the exertion of holding her immense pleasure at bay. I am impressed. The girl had more grit than I'd have thought.

I removed the blindfold from her face. Her eyes blinked in the light and then focused on me, full of the most **** arousal I'd ever seen. Her expression was conflicted as the promise of orgasmic pleasure she'd resisted gradually faded away, out of reach.

Before she spoke, I placed a hand on her shoulder. "Well done. You have shown me that you are a **** who doesn't need orgasms. I won't bother you with them again."

She looked terrified. "Wait, never? But- but I need- I mean I want..." She blushed, unable to say what was obviously true.

I cupped her chin and met her eyes. "You want to come, don't you?"

Closing her eyes, she nodded gently against my hand.

"I can't hear you."

"Yes, please, Daddy." When I continued to look at her expectantly, she continued. "Please may I come? Your fingers felt so good, I'm so wet."

I smirked. "Oh? Why didn't you come while my fingers were inside you? Why did you fight it? It was obvious you wanted to."

She avoided my gaze, turning her eyes downward even as I held her chin. "I... didn't want to be a slut."

"But now you're begging to come like a slut. So are you or aren't you a slut?"

Her bottom lip trembled slightly, I could see she felt humiliated but was driven by her immense need for release. "I- want to come. Please."

"So you're a slut."

Fighting back tears of shame and embarrassment, she nodded. "Yes. I'm a slut. I want to come. Please, Daddy make me come!"

I laughed. "No, I won't. You made your choice. You chose to satisfy your pride instead of your needs. Now you have neither satisfaction. I hope it was worth it."

Her expression fell and she gaped at me like I had cheated her.

I tightened my trip and **** her up on her knees, her neck craning to look up at me. "Let this be your second lesson, Slut. Slaves can't afford pride, and you don't get choices very often. And you never get to pick your consequences. The sooner you accept that all control over your life and your body are now mine, the better it will be for you. If I give you an opportunity to come, ever, I suggest you take it."

Frightened, she hastily agreed. "Yes, yes I will. I'm sorry."

I released her and she slumped back down on her knees, again wincing as her heels bit into her tender butt.

I stood, checking the time. Judy would be about finished with her workout. "Now, since you have stubbornly chosen not to come tonight, you may not touch yourself until further notice. Understood?"

She nodded sadly. "Yes, Daddy."

"I will know if you disobey me, daughter." I talked her shock collar, letting her believe whatever she wanted about the gesture. "And I promise you, if you satisfy yourself tonight, though any means, you will regret it every day for a month, do you understand? Repeat back to me what you won't be doing tonight."

Eyes still lowered to the floor, she spoke softly. "I won't make myself come."

"Good girl." I moved around behind her, pulling my keys from my pocket. "Now, I'm trusting you when I don't have to; this is a big chance for you to show me you can behave yourself." I released the lock holding her arms tightly together and then removed the leather cuffs.

"Thank you, Daddy. I'll be good, I promise!" Her enthusiasm returned, but there was a definite note of disappointment in her voice. She wouldn't defy me. I could see it in her eyes.

Kissing her forehead, I turned her around and gave her a pat on the ass. "Bed. And go straight to sleep. Tomorrow your training begins for real. I want you to think about your lessons so far and think about what it means to be a ****."

She nodded nervously, seemingly wondering how things had moved so quickly. "Goodnight, Daddy." She plodded out of the room, completely naked with a bruised bottom and wet juices coating her thighs. My sweet little girl.

I turned my attention back to the laptop.
