They first met for lunch. He turned around and there she was, as if by magic. She was tall and stylish - a handsome woman; striking rather than feminine; boyish and androgynous, but still definitely a woman. Her photos did not do her justice.
He didn't have to think about it. He knew immediately that she was going to be the one.
She was calm and confident. He was nervous and knocked over a glass of water. She sized him up. He was older but in OK shape. He looked her in the eye. He was frank and seemed to hold nothing back. There was an immediate connection and he hoped more would come of it. He was a novice, though with a lifelong interest in kink that was getting stronger and harder to resist. She was more than experienced, she was a leader.
He knew what he wanted; more than that, what he needed. She thought she could do something with this man and she smiled inwardly at the thought. This was a good start; contact had been made. Every journey starts with a single step and he had made that step.
A gap in the diary and emails were exchanged. The date was confirmed. He was keen to explore orgasm control in the time leading up to the session. She would monitor him and constraints were agreed. He was to think about her several times a day and about what she might do to him. He was to think of pain, feel pain and arousal but refrain from orgasm unless she allowed it. She allowed it once a week. For the rest of the time he was to tease and torment himself. Regular nipple clamping was part of the programme. He was to become addicted to it.
He was astonished and overwhelmed by the power of the feelings that overtook him. His sleep was disturbed. He awoke every night with a fierce erection in the small hours. His subconscious mind was working for her. As the day of the session approached he became more nervous. Would he be able to handle what she might deliver? Would he be able to meet her expectations?
They met for lunch a second time the day before. He was calmer this time, but no less nervous. She knew what she was going to do and a space had been booked. They discussed options and possibilities. She knew what he needed and he had complete confidence in her judgment and ability. "It will be Awesome", she said.
The next day was fine. He was early. He parked the car round the corner and sat and composed himself. He locked the car and walked to the Place. He was still early. He sat at a bus stop outside and waited. At twelve noon he approached the door. He was wondering whether to ring a bell when she appeared. A kiss on the cheek and inside. An office space. She asked him to carry her bag and led him upstairs.
The room was windowless, large and sparsely furnished. The light was dim. There was an imposing throne. He had arrived. Now he would be tested. He was in her hands. There was no escape. She took the bag.
"Turn around and face away from me and put your hands on your head."
He did so. She walked around and inspected him. He was informed of the protocol and safe word.
"You will call me Mistress. You will not speak unless you are spoken to and you will only say, 'Yes Mistress' or 'No Mistress'."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes Mistress."
"Now I am going to undress you. Don't try to help Me."
She stood behind him and lifted his T-shirt over his head. He moved his arms to allow this. "Don't try to help me."
She pressed against him and gripped his body fiercely from behind. Her hands grasped at his flesh; getting the measure of him for later.
One hand moved down and began to unbuckle his belt. She slid the zip down and pushed his trousers to his knees. She moved away.
"Now kneel and remove the rest of your clothes."
He did so awkwardly, crouching and fumbling with laces, pants and socks.
She threw everything in a heap a few steps away. Now he was completely naked and deliciously vulnerable. He was ready. His breathing deepened and slowed. This was the moment he had waited so long for.
The cuffs, both wrist and ankle were applied. Then the collar and chain. The collar grounded him. He could feel himself beginning to slip away. Now he understood the power of the symbolism. He was hers and he relaxed. It was going to be alright. It was going to be better than that. It was going to be Awesome.
"Turn and face me; kneel and crawl towards me."
He did so. A worn Doc Martens boot was pushed at his face. He kissed it.
"My boots are part of me."
She looked down at his naked body, stretched out on the floor beneath her like a breathing statue. He had the right attitude. He was respectful, obedient and deferential. She knew she would enjoy dominating him. She knew he would thank her. She was well prepared and her confidence gave her a lift. There was nothing quite like taking someone for the first time. The sadist inside her growled.
