She awoke to the twin sensations of a hand on her throat and a hand on her pussy. As she opened her eyes, he spoke their private word, the word that required her to submit. Not yet fully awake, she started to question. Before she had spoken more than a confused "Whuh?", before she had even fully formed the words in her mind, she felt the hand at her throat tighten in warning. She snapped awake.
This was new. They had never started a day "in-scene" before. As the full realization finally hit, her mind filled with conflicting thoughts and emotions. It was a shock. She was curious, and a bit frustrated at having no time to prepare herself. She was a little scared too. This was utterly new territory, and she had no idea what to expect. Most of all, she was instantly wet with anticipation.
He held her this way for a minute or so, letting her adjust to the situation while working his fingers gently in and out of her, and occasionally teasing her clit. When he was sure she was fully awake, he commanded her to get out of bed and kneel. She immediately did as she was told, kneeling with her hands behind her back, facing him. Anxious to please, she tilted her head back and presented him her open mouth. "No," he told her, "I have different plans for you today."
Again confused and unsure, she sneaked a glance at the clock. It was only ten minutes earlier than her normal wake-up time, and today was a work-day. There wasn't any time! Without thinking, she started to tell him that there was no time for this, that she had to get ready, but mid-sentence, he slapped her across her left cheek. It wasn't a hard slap, but the shock of it stopped her dead, and reminded her of the rules. She spoke the lesser of her two safe-words.
He took a half-step back. "You're worried, my love?"
"Yes! I have to be at work, and I can't be late. You know what they're like!"
He put up his hand. "Do you trust me?"
