James nods softly, listening to her speak. He reaches out to stroke her hair and cheek again as she mentions the events of this morning. "You understand that I did none of that for malice or sick enjoyment. You were bad Katie, and you had to be punished and trained."<br/><br/>His hand kept up the gentle stroking, knowing she had enjoyed his touch in this way before. "You needed to learn that striking me like that will never gain you any kind of bonus. There is nothing you can do to escape this new life of yours. I certainly don't see why you would want too. It is much better than anything you've ever had before. Enough of that though. There is much more to teach you yet Katie. We can continue with that if you are planning on behaving yourself this afternoon."
