James smiled at her as he listed to her speak. "I'm proud of you. A willingness to learn is a good sign. I don't expect you to learn everything in a day my dear. That fact that your willing to try though...it's a nice step I think."<br/><br/>James was not unaware of her movements, and found it very difficult not to stare down the front of her halter top. He'd picked Katie almost specifically for the petiteness of her body, and to have it almost completely displayed to him was a bit distracting.<br/><br/>"I don't see why calling me sir is all that difficult. I certainly won't be having you call me by name. Not yet at least. Perhaps sometime I'll allow it, but until then, yes you shall call me sir." Sliding off the bed, he settled the paddle back into its slot and slide the drawer closed. So cunning was the craftsmanship, that a person could not even tell that a drawer slid out from within it. He'd taken something else out before closing it, and laid it down in front of Katie. It was a new, fresh set of halter top and panties. Exactly like the ones she wore, but freshly cleaned.<br/><br/>"Feel free to rest a bit Katie. I won't lock you up in the cage tonight. I think you've had all the punishment you deserve...for the time being as well. Sleep well, and I'll see you again soon." With that said, James turned and walked over to the keypad. He entered the code into the door, his body completely blocking the procedure so she could not see a hint of movement. The door slid open and James stepped from view, locking Katie in by herself. The lights dimmed lower, not going completely black, but to a much lower level that would make it easy for her to sleep.<br/>
