The word sprang from Ali's lips before she had even thought about it. "Citadel," she said simply, looking up at the older woman who sat across from her. She watched as a small smile crossed Kat's face.
"Interesting...a high walled, stone fortress that must be penetrated, what a deliciously insightful choice."
Ali blushed at the compliment before she mumbled. "Actually its...its just a reference to my favorite game..." She felt a little silly that the older woman had in a few seconds put more meaning into her choice than she had.
Kat's small smile broke into a wide grin and she started laughing, it was clear and almost bell like, but it wasn't derogatory. Ali knew that in the laughter Kat was not making fun of her. Wiping a tear from her eye Kat continued to grin at the younger woman. "That's as good a reason as any to chose it for your safeword. You will always remember it at least."
Seeing the blush creeping across Ali's face and beginning to trail down her neck and shoulders to her chest Kat leaned forward and with a finger tilted Ali's chin up, so that the young woman was looking her in the eyes. "There is no need to feel shame in your choice little one and no need to be embarrassed for the reason you chose it. Reasons and words vary as much as there are people who participate in BDSM." She planted a soft kiss on Ali's forehead before sitting back. "Citadel it is."
Kat's words made Ali feel a little better about her choice though the blush remained for a few minutes before leeching away. "So my pet, we have spoken extensively online about your fascination with BDSM and what draws you to it. But what would you expect if we were to move forward with this. I expressed a desire to collar you and make you mine, but what about you? Your feelings are just as important as all of this."
The question took Ali off guard for a moment and caused her to pause. She had thought that by agreeing to meet Mistress Kat would have taken it for granted that she wanted to be collared and owned by the older woman but obviously Kat wanted that validation or something else from Ali's own lips on the subject. "I...I think I would want to be yours Mistress."
"But do you know what that means? What it would entail?"
"Well...I would be your submissive, you could do what you wanted and I would obey and-"
"My pet, we can do that now, without me ever actually collaring you. I have been giving you orders online this whole time and you have not disobeyed, at least I am trusting that you have not." Ali shook her head and a small smile crept back over Kat's face. "My job provides me with a lot of money and surprisingly a lot of at home and travel time. I'm...bored, chasing random girls and using them only for a night or two before never seeing them again. If I were to collar you, would you be willing to give up your life as it is. To be mine wholly and completely. To leave your home, your job, to travel with me and to be my submissive and my slave?"
Until that moment Ali really hadn't thought of being owned by Mistress Kat in those terms, not really. "Our home base would be here of course, and I would never bar you from seeking out friends and family to connect to or spend time to, but you would be my live in submissive and subject to all that entailed."
To have it stated so bluntly really hit the notion home to Ali and she just sat there for a moment, thinking, not looking at the older woman, her eyes downcast toward the floor but not really seeing it. Kat sat there, waiting on pins and needles but not saying anything, allowing the girl enough time to absorb the information and make her decision. Of course even if Ali said yes now did not mean it would happen. They could be too incompatible in real life or maybe Ali would think that this really wasn't for her and want to back out. Whatever she chose Kat would respect the decision.
Ali looked up at Kat once more after what seemed like an eternity of waiting for the older woman. She had been searching for a compatible spirit for so long and Ali just seemed like a perfect fit. She seemed eager and willing, with a strong desire to experiment and an open mind to kink. "I...I still think I want to be yours Mistress, if...if that works out that is." What felt like a tremendous amount of pressure released in her chest and she felt herself breathe again.
