He stood there for a moment, taking in the beauty that stood before them before coming back to himself. He stepped forward, took her hand in his, and pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek.<strong>"Welcome, I'm so glad you could make it. Please, come in."</strong>He led her inside and shut the door, then turned to face his Kitten, an arm wrapped around Alana's waist.<strong>"Kitten, this is your new Mistress. I told her about you, and she decided she wanted to get to know you and play with us. I expect you to behave for her, just like you behave for your Master, okay?"</strong><br/><br/>He passed the leash to Alana, then held out his hand, directing them toward the couch.<strong>"I thought we would go over the basic rules that we have, just so everybody is on the same page,"</strong>he said, settling in the corner of the sofa and patting the cushion next to him.<strong>"There aren't many of them, for now. No striking, especially the face. Spanking is okay when Kitten misbehaves, and any toys left out by me are fair game. Anything new you want to bring in or try, just ask first. If anyone says the phrase 'Master, help.' then play stops and we move to aftercare. Other than that, the only rule is that my word is final. Kitten has entrusted herself to me, and my goal is to make her feel safe and loved."</strong>He smiled down at her, sitting at his feet, and ran his fingers through her hair before turning to Alana.<strong>"As long as you're with us, I have the same goal for you. I want you to feel safe, cared for, and loved, so never be afraid to tell me if there's something you want, or something that's bothering you."</strong>He grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, and waited for her acknowledgment.
