Luke slowly opened his eyes, Sarah's face imprinted like a film negative in his mind. He had been dreaming again. Never before had a woman embedded herself in his subconscious like this and yearning gnawed at him. He had only seen the one photo of her, but that had provided ample nourishment for his imagination to flourish.
He longed to see more of her, he could easily order her to take more pictures, but the levels of anticipation and tension between them were heady. There was something intensely erotic about getting to know Sarah. Corrupting her, without ever setting eyes on her.
It had been three weeks since that first frantic typed conversation. Three weeks since the last time her body had had release. He had no doubt that she had been obeying him. He had a text message from her everyday despite his increasingly kinky instructions. Then there was that phone call a week ago. It was still fresh in his mind. Her lyrical voice, tense with nervousness and frustration. There was another note to her voice too, a subtle but unmistakable layer of submission among the rich tapestry. Without being able to see her he had become acutely aware of the eddies and current as she spoke, each revealing more than a picture ever could. The submissiveness was definitely there. He had pushed her very hard, very quickly. He had been rash in his eagerness but rather then send her running he had awakened something in her. Having her submit to him was delicious but what if cultivating this aspect of their relationship precluded anything deeper? With a sigh he buried his doubts. It was time to meet her. He grabbed his phone.
Its time to meet. This Saturday. I'll send instructions
That was it, it was done. He knew she would come if she could. Her reply came in less than 10 minutes.
Ok, ill be there sir
He had already planned for this moment. Her outfit was in a box beneath his desk. A tightly fitted, knee length, black dress, sheer enough to make her feel exposed but deceptively covering. There was no underwear, instead he had put in the box, three discrete clamps connected by a delicate T shaped chain. One clamp for each nipple and one for the hood of her pussy. He would give her free reign over how tight they were. He didn't want her in pain all evening, just to be aware of them. Next, he had brought a silver choker, elegant and refined yet he was confident she would appreciate its significance. This would be her collar, a constant reminder of her subservience, of the pent-up frustration boiling inside of her. Finally, the outfit was finished off with a pair of vicious black stilettoes.
He packaged the box ready to be sent and then with a couple of quick phone calls he had booked her a massage to amplify her desire yet further and then booked a local Italian restaurant he knew well.
The next few days passed in a blur, time punctuated only by the regular texts from Sarah
Touching myself master
10 strikes administered to my thigh master
He was busy with a number of high-profile fashion shoots but in each of the models, all he could see was Sarah. By Saturday evening the anticipation was almost too much to bear. He made his way to the small restaurant, nestled among the railway arches. He smiled broadly at Sylvia, the owner, as he entered and made his way to his usual table, nestled in an alcove at the back. Sylvia glided towards him. They had been close friends for years. For a while he had teetered on the edge of a relationship with this witty, self-assured Italian woman, but they had quickly realised mutually that the chemistry between them veered closer to that of brother and sister.
"Meeting another lady friend? Maybe this time you might even keep hold of her," she said with a wink.
Luke smiled at this usual remark and his usual bottle of wine was placed on the table.
"We have to meet up for coffee soon and then you can have all the gory details."
"Sounds like a plan" she nodded with a smile before turning her attention to the rest of her customers
Luke felt the tension mounting within him. It was 10 minutes before she was due to meet him. He hadn't been this nervous in years. He took a sip of wine to steady his nerves but this simply intensified the cocktail of anxiety and arousal which was churning round his stomach.
As he stared into his wine, it seemed like a veil of silence descended upon the room. Luke found himself staring as he watched the door swing open. The nerves were gone. He was in part and nobody could ask for a greater muse. A leg inched into the room first and hips, then body followed, swinging round the door in a nervously demure waltz. Her eyes met his, and he was transfixed. A momentary castaway in the swirling blue depths. Then hesitantly she took a step towards him. He stood, gathered himself and gave her a slight nod, drawing her across the room. She reached his arms and one curled around her gently trembling waist as he leaned forward to brush her cheek with the faintest of kisses.
He felt her shudder against him.
"You look breath-taking" he whispered as he drew back and he caught the murmured response.
"Thank you master"
He pulled out her chair and guided her to the seat. Wordlessly he filled her wine glass and seated himself opposite her. He scanned his eyes over her hungrily, committing every curve, every pore of her skin, to memory. He knew he needed to say something to put her at ease, but he felt a compulsive need to map all the contours of this stunning, unfamiliar landscape. Then he reached her face, delicate but above all happy, despite the obvious tension in the lines of her mouth. He couldn't suppress the wide smile which erupted onto his face.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you."
She broke into a nervous grin herself, flushing scarlet. "You too" she paused, "to say this is surreal is an understatement. Its been a learning experience. I..." she trailed off, blushing with greater intensity.
