~~~~~~Part I - The Offer~~~~~~
He watched his precious slut as she walked around the room, being the hostess at another of his parties. She seemed confidant, at ease with herself, with her place in his house, and in his heart. She was so different than the shy, demure woman he had taken into his life just a little over a year ago.
She had been in a rotten marriage for 20 years before her husband left her for another woman. She hadn't dated in high school or college, and her husband had been her first and only love.
He smiled to himself as he remembered how she blushed crimson when she revealed she had been a virgin until two weeks before her 29th birthday. She had been so embarrassed but so forthcoming with any information he asked of her.
The moment he met her, he knew she was going to be his. He just had to take his time. He didn't want to scare her. She was like a deer in the headlights. She was frightened of men and ready to bolt if approached too quickly.
He had been the one to hire her, and the moment he shook her hand hello, and she looked down and blushed, he knew. She instinctively called him Sir. The first month they worked together he spent just trying to gain her trust. He loved to hear her laugh. Her face lit up when she smiled, and so did his heart.
He was shocked when he found out she was 49 years old. She looked like she was in her mid 30's. She didn't wear make-up, and her face was fresh and unlined. She was a little plump by some people's standards, but he loved her curves.
Her laughter brought him back to the present. He focused and saw her talking with another submissive, Kandi, who was an old friend of his and had become a confidant to her. She had come so far in just over a year.
His little slut had her hard limits, and he wouldn't push her on them, well, most of them. He chuckled to himself as he remembered how he had sort of cajoled her into making the decision to be pierced. He knew it was something she was forcing herself to deny, and he just kind of gave her a little help in admitting what she really wanted. He didn't feel guilty about it, well, maybe a tiny bit. But it had been a pleasurable night for them, and nothing but pleasure ever since.
As time had gone by, the hard limits were falling by the wayside. When they first discussed her limits, she hadn't wanted him to touch her ass, but that was the first to go. In their second week together, after licking her tight little rosebud, she begged him to stick his tongue inside. From there, it really wasn't any time at all before she was asking him to please fuck her in the ass.
There was only one of her limits left that he really cared about her shedding. He was deep in thought when she came to his side and kneeled obediently next to his chair. He looked down at her and gently stroked her hair. "Are the guests happy pet?"
She looked up at him, and he could read everything in her eyes, her love, her devotion. "Yes Master, but they are all wondering why you've asked them here."
He watched her intently, knowing she was wondering why as well. He hadn't said a word to her about what what was going to happen tonight. He certainly hoped it wasn't going to backfire. He smiled at her, and when his eyes met hers, he knew it would all work as he had planned.
He walked to the middle of the large room and stood there quietly until his friends noticed him. They knew there was something important going on, they just didn't know what it was yet. The Masters and Mistresses took their seats, their submissives kneeling silently near them.
As he looked around the room, he realized what good friends he had. They had been with him through good and bad. They were there for him when his first collared submissive asked to be released, and he was too naive to realize it had been his fault. They had taught him to be more responsible, stronger, and confidant in his own abilities. That's why it was so important to him that they be here now.
"Friends, I've asked you all here to share in something very special. I've known most of you since I found this lifestyle, and you've helped me through the bad, and shared the good. I want to share something wonderful with you." He looked to his precious little slut and motioned for her to come to him.
She immediately walked to him and gracefully dropped to her knees at his feet. She had no idea what was happening and hoped she wouldn't embarrass him. His hand stroked her jaw as he tilted her face to look up at him. He could feel the love emanating from her, he knew she wouldn't disappoint him.
"Lynn, you have truly pleased me as you've progressed in your training this last year. I know that you would willingly do anything that I ask. Tonight, I will ask for the one thing that you had told me you could never do. Until now, I hadn't been concerned about it, but now it has become an issue for me."
She was stunned as she looked into his eyes for what he could possibly be talking about. What was it? She couldn't think. Her brain was muddled as she tried to remember. What did she tell him she could never do?. Fuck her in the ass? She had begged for it. Piercing? She had multiple rings in her flesh since the last party. Whatever it was, if she refused was he going to release her?
For the first time since he had closed his training collar around her neck, she had fear in her eyes, and her heart. What would she do without him? She couldn't even picture her life without Master. She looked up into his eyes, pleading silently with him.
He looked down at her and smiled. His smile relaxed her, and the fear left her face. She still had no idea what it was, but she already could tell that he had faith in her. If he had faith, then she would too. She squared her shoulders and looked up into his face, waiting for whatever test he had for her.
He looked into her eyes and stroked her cheek. Neither of them were aware of the others in the room, only each other. "On the day we went over our contract, and you checked off your hard limits, I knew that some of them would be discarded over time. And you have pleased me with each one."
Her heart swelled with love for him as he looked into her eyes and held her chin. Being at his feet was where she wanted, no, needed to be. No matter what he said her task would be, she would do it. She could feel the moisture beginning to accumulate between her legs.
Looking down at her face, he felt a need for her that he had never felt before. He'd had many submissives, but none that had brought him to this point in his life. He could feel his cock straining to break free. He smiled to himself knowing it would just be a matter of time now. He had to control himself and his needs for the moment. Not much longer.
The room was silent as they watched each other intently, their love and desire for all present to see.
"Lynn, you had listed as your hardest limit, being permanently marked. You had said it was partly the pain that was involved, but also, you felt it dehumanizing, to mark someone like an animal."
He had to move. He couldn't stand over here for another second. He wanted to grab her in his arms and not let her go. Would his words scare her? Would she want to run? He had to let her go if that's how she felt. He couldn't try to persuade her one way or another. It had to be her choice.
As he walked around her, he watched her face intently. She was biting her lip. He knew that meant she was thinking.
"Lynn, I have never given a formal collar to any of my submissives. I never felt the same as I feel about you. I am offering you my collar, but if you accept, I will also mark you as I see fit, as mine, my property. You will have no choice in the manner, placement, or design. If you wish time to consider, I understand."
He watched her intently. As far as he was concerned, there wasn't another person in the room, only her. He could hear her heart beating, and it beat in perfect rhythm with his.
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. For a moment he thought she was going to say no. But then her smile filled her face, and he felt his heart leap with joy. "Master, I accept your offer, with all my heart, my soul, my love, and undying devotion. I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life."
He grabbed her wrists, lifting her easily to her feet, swept her into his arms and hugged her as tightly as he could. She was crying with happiness. He was laughing as his friends came up to slap him on the back and congratulate his lovely submissive on having such a wise Master to keep her to himself.
