Adam's Story
I leaned back on the couch in Amber's front room, one leg crossed over the other with my arms lying across the back. I had to chuckle to myself as I recalled Amber's distress earlier when I came over to tell her about getting her septic tank pumped. I thought it was cute the way she had not wanted to share with me her need to go to my house and pee. I remembered how long it had taken Linda to be comfortable enough to share that sort of information with me. Thinking about Linda, and the things we used to do with each other brought my thoughts back to Amber. I realized I had started something last night, or I guess I should say this morning, with her and I was positive I had seen a look of total arousal and desire on Amber's face when I told her to call me either Sir or Master. And, I was even more positive of her look when I had her lift her night shirt and expose herself to me. I had wondered at the time if I might be pushing things too fast, but she had seemed so excited and curious to learn about the things that Linda and I used to do. I sure hoped that she wouldn't feel I thought she was cheap or easy because she had obeyed me.
Actually, as I thought about it, I found I felt she was rather extraordinary to do what I had told her. I thought it showed me that she really wanted to learn and was actually interested in being involved with exploring areas of BDSM. I have seen enough women getting aroused to know Amber was getting turned on with our games.
I had noticed that she had not addressed me this morning the way I had instructed her last night, but I wasn't concerned. When, or should I say, if we played, then I would expect her to address me in the proper manner. My feelings were that Amber wanted to experience the delights of BDSM and sexual play, but I didn't think that she was interested in a 24/7 type of relationship. I could have been totally wrong, but I felt that she was more interested in trying small things first. I was also starting to realize that we needed to talk about what was going on. I needed to work on building a lot more trust between the two of us before she would be ready to surrender to me without reservations. And for her to be completely satisfied there had to be total trust between the two of us.
As Amber entered the room after changing out of her ratty old bath robe, I noticed the way her tight black jeans hugged her body. Just glancing at her caused me to remember the sight of her semi-naked body last night. She looked great with clothes on, but I thought she looked a lot better the way I had seen her last night. I quickly realized that I needed to get my thoughts away from thinking about her that way real fast.
"How long will it take to pump ... the thing ...?" She asked me.
"Septic tank," I prompted her, "I really don't know. I guess it depends on how long it takes them to find the opening and how hard it is to pump it out. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I have no idea if you have plans for the day or not, but I didn't want you to feel you had to sit around here all day. I am sure I can handle things from here." Amber smiled at me.
"Tell you what ... I have no idea if your septic will be done today since I have no idea how bad things are, will you let me cook you dinner tonight?"
"But that's not fair! I should cook for you!" She protested.
"And if you're septic is not working?"
"Well ... you do have a point. OK, you win! But you have to let me bring the wine. What should I bring?"
"Do you like fish?" Amber shook her head hard, sticking out her tongue to demonstrate just how much she disliked it. "OK, how about Italian?" She nodded her head in the affirmative this time. "Ok, bring something that goes with Italian. Why don't you plan on coming over about 6 again? Oh, and if you need, please come and shower without asking! My house is open to you anytime ... even if it is in the middle of the night." With the last remark I grinned at her. I wanted to kid her some more about her nocturnal visit, "Too bad you ain't a guy ... we just find a bush and water it. Women don't seem to like to do things like that."
Amber blushed a bright red and answered, "Keep it up and I will find me a bush!" We both laughed and I headed out to take the dogs for their outing. I walked them far enough down the beach to visit an old friend who owned an Italian restaurant located almost right on the beach. We have been friends for a long time and we like to go out fishing as much as we can. I asked him if he had something special I could buy from him for tonight's dinner and he scowled at me. "Adam, you hurt my feelings. You know I keep trying to give you dinners on the house ... come in here, take what you want."
He took me into the large walk-in at the back of his restaurant and motioned for me to select whatever dinner I wanted. I picked out 2 nice floured and seasoned pieces of chicken white meat and some red potatoes I could roast. He also provided me with a bowl of sauce for the chicken. I picked out enough food I felt could feed Amber and me, wrapped up my dinner and thanked my old friend. Carrying my dinner, I called for the dogs and I headed back to the house.
As I entered the back of the house, I noticed that the septic service was working in Amber's back yard. It appeared like they must have found the opening and were hard at work. I put the chicken in the fridge and started to prepare everything else I needed for tonight's dinner.
There were a couple of items I still wanted to buy in town so I put the dogs in the back of the old Jeep I keep just for carrying them around. The Jeep even has a name; I call it "Dog Pound". Ever since my first car, I have given all my cars a name.
The errands in town took a lot longer than I expected and it was getting close to 6 when I finally got back to the house. I glanced over at Ambers and saw the pumper truck was gone. As I came around the front of the house, I found Amber sitting in one of the rocking chairs I keep on my front porch. She was crying. I sat the bags down I was carrying in my arms and went to her. Kneeling beside her chair, I asked her, "What's wrong? Why the tears?"
"It's the septic, they tell me that the tank is broken and I have to have it dug up and have a new one installed. They told me they would give me a bid tomorrow. I won't have a bathroom for a few days now." As she finished, a little hick-up escaped from her.
"Hey ... it's not the end of the world." I assured her. "You have mine to use ... as long as you stop asking to use it every time you need. I want you to consider my house to be your house while they are fixing things. OK?"
Amber nodded her head and wiped her eyes. She smiled at me and asked, "What would I have done without you? I had no idea what was wrong. This is such a pain ..."
"First off, you would have called a plumber and they would have explained what you needed to do. And ... I have an idea," I paused for a moment.
"Go on ..."
"Well, I do have a spare bedroom and there is room in the garage for Rogue with my dogs ... and ...
"Adam, what are you asking me?" Amber asked with caution.
"Look, use my house until your septic problem is handled. There is a lock on the bedroom door if you are concerned. I would love to have you as my guest!"
Amber seemed to consider my offer for a moment, "OK ... after dinner I'll go and get what I need for the night." I noticed that once her decision was made, her attitude improved greatly.
We went into the house and as I put away my purchases from my errands, Amber opened one of the bottles of wine she had brought for dinner. I started the oven and slipped in the dish I had prepared earlier in the day. When her glass of wine was about half finished, she looked over at me with a shy grin on her face. "I haven't had a shower all day. I know that you want me to feel at home, but I still have a problem just getting up and running off to the shower without even at least telling you what's going on."
I laughed, "Go and take your shower. Do you need to run over to your place first and get different clothes?"
Amber seemed to consider my questions and then nodded her head. "How long do I have before dinner?"
"About half an hour ..."
""Great!" Amber stood up and headed off to her house to retrieve some clothes.

I could hear the shower running as I finished preparing dinner. As I was setting the table, it suddenly dawned on me that I had removed the towel she had used before and put it in the washing machine. There were no towels in the bathroom. I quickly went to the closet and pulled one of my best bath towels and knocked at the bathroom door. Over the sound of the shower I heard Amber call out, "What?"
"I'm sorry, but I cleaned out all of the towels since the last time you showered. There is no towel in there. I have one here for you."
"Bring it in."
"I'll keep my eyes closed," I told her. I heard her laugh at my remark. The shower in the spare bedroom is a tub/shower combination with sliding doors. The doors are clear! I opened the door and noticed that even though the doors were fogged up with the steam. I admit I was disappointed I didn't get to see more, but I could still make out the outline of her body. It was all I could do just to hang up the towel and leave. I really wanted to open the shower door and join her. As I shut the bathroom door, I called out to her, "You have about 5 minutes."
