My vision clouds as I imagine my own image. A snapshot in my mind of myself preparing for Master's return home from work... how He likes to have His brandy or His scotch ready. How He requires the house to look tidy and clean by my own hand. How He demands that my positioning be just so as He walks through the front door.
Today, it shall be brandy as Master requested before leaving this morning. I arrange the snifter on the tray, with the right amount of amber liquid breathing in the brandy glass, the carafe sitting next to it for any refill, should He want one. Also on the tray, arranged carefully, is His favorite leather-tipped crop, a small crystal bowl filled with scented oil, and various clamps and clips. Master doesn't always use these items, but should I forget to offer them upon his arrival, it would mean punishment for me. The tray arranged to specifications, I place it on the floor, next to where I will be waiting when He walks in the door. I turn, wearing only my white lace apron, and make a circuit of the house, ensuring that all is in place. I note how the shine of the coffee table reflects a splash of light coming in through the shear curtains, remembering how I polished the wood using an oiled cloth while completely naked except for the intrusion of the plug inserted inside of me by Master this morning. Using a swirling motion as I polish and wipe down all furniture that is wooden. Making sure our house is beautiful.
I wander into the kitchen, smelling the roast with potatoes and carrots simmering in the electric skillet, smiling as it is Master's favorite meal. I take the tray of homemade biscuits and open the oven door, feeling the heat escape and wash over my bare, pink-tipped breasts and belly, sliding the tray in and setting the timer as I close the oven door. Putting the pot-holder away, I leave the kitchen, my ass swaying with each step, feet bare for now until Master comes home, and amble into the dining room, checking how the table is set. I lift the matchbook and light the candles sitting there within the flower arrangement picked by me in our garden early this morning. I smile remembering how chilly it was today with my bare feet on the dew-tipped grass, my nipples puckering in the cool air, making my way to the flower garden and using pruning shears to choose and pick the perfect buds and blooming roses. As I stacked them in my arms, I could feel their prickly thorns poking into my bare skin, one directly on my areola. Reaching for the last yellow bud, I happen to glance up and spot old Mister Carson in the next yard up on his sundeck, watching me while I work, and quickly turning away to walk back into his house. It embarrasses me that Master makes me perform these chores completely nude and I am caught doing so by Mr. Carson or, one time, the UPS delivery man. However, the choice is not mine to make. I must trust Master to guide me (hand reaching up to finger the silver choker around my neck).
I leave the dining room, making my way back into the entry way, looking over at the grandfather clock in the hall and note that Master shall be here any minute now. I go to the broom closet and wash my feet, dry them, and insert them into my three inch black heels. Master's choice. I return to the breathing snifter of brandy and kneel on the floor, ass on my heels, thighs opened as wide as I can, hands behind my back, wrists crossed, head bowed, mind open.
