mallory stays on hand while her Master reads the newspaper after a particularly rough day at work. No, He doesn’t need to hold her there. He finds it satisfying - He periodically yanks her around and forces her to recover her position. If He’s particularly annoyed by something in the paper, He slaps her face hard. He finds it amusing when she loses her balance after He slaps her and she winds up sprawled on her side. It takes her several minutes to recover her position, but she perseveres to please Him.
