"Hi, Tom. It's me."
"Come on up."
The buzzer sounded and I stepped into the building. I was nervous and, as happens when I'm nervous, very excited. Tonight was going to be a huge change in my relationship with someone I'd known most of my life. Though even if it hadn't been Tom this would be a big night for me. I'd never been loaned to anyone before.
"Hi Alice. Is Mike parking the car?" Tom thought my husband and I planned to take him to celebrate his birthday, but we hadn't been completely honest with him.
"Actually, Michael won't be joining us tonight, but he wanted to be sure you got this." I handed Tom his birthday card, and I shook a little as I did. When he read it someone Michael and I had both known since school would be part of something the two of us had never shared with anyone.
"Thanks." He opened the card with a smile and read it. Confusion played across his face but as I watched I could see understanding set in.
"Is this...? Does this mean...? I... I'm not sure I know..." Actually he was pretty sure he did know but he was too scared to admit it. I knew what the card said: 'Enjoy your birthday present Tom. For tonight she yours to do whatever you like.'
"I never realized... I mean, I didn't know you two were... Is this what you want?"
"You have to understand, Tom. Michael isn't just my husband, he's my owner. I want what he tells me to want. That means tonight I want you, and I want what you tell me."
"This is... you have to understand... I'm not ready for this."
"Then let me get you ready. You wouldn't want me punished for not doing as I was ordered, would you?" I admit I was teasing him somewhat. The bulge that had been growing in his pants was a sure sign he was ready in at least that sense. I knew what he meant, though. When Tom and I were getting to know each other I certainly didn't feel like a good girl, but I was a good girl and that was how Tom would always think of me. There was something exciting in the idea that he would never be ready to think of me differently even after he was through using me.
