Zoey had delivered the instructions and now squirmed under the eyes of the kitchen staff as they openly stared at her naked, soiled form. The blush deepened when they started to speak about her in such an undignified manner. Their threats about making Quentin wait for his supper worried her but he had told her not to dally and he had also told her that she did nothing without his express orders. Taking a deep breath she quickly puzzled out her decision. It would be much better to deal with Quentin's frustration over a late meal than his fury over her being late because she allowed the kitchen staff to have her without his say so.<br/><br/>She lifted her chin and despite her current condition her gaze was imperious once again.<span style="color: indigo">"Sorry gentlemen, I was instructed to return to the Master immediately after delivering his instructions. He gave me no instructions to give myself to you and so I shall not. I will also be so generous as to not mention this attempt at blackmail for the use of HIS slave. I also trust that the Master knows how long it takes to cook his food and once I return to him I assume he will expect it promptly. If you choose to dawdle than you do so at your own risk. Good day."</span>Having said her piece, she turned on her heel and left the kitchen. She headed back to Quentin's office and with every step her confidence faltered. She prayed that she had made the right decision. She was doing what she was told; what she had been told repeatedly.<br/><br/>But what if Quentin had meant her to provide them with an incentive? She shook her head. No, she had made the right call. He had told her that she was to do what she was told. Thinking for herself was what had gotten her more welts are her tortured backside and even some stinging red marks on her formerly flawless chest. Getting back to the office, she knocked softly on the door. Her heart was racing. She hoped that Quentin was not still angry. She feared that he might simply punish her anyways, no matter what choice she made.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
