You've made me wait.
I can feel my annoyance increasing as the minutes tick by. I check my watch again. It has been almost twenty minutes now; completely unacceptable.
I hear the key turning in the lock. You shuffle in, out of breath, throwing off your coat and attempting to take off your shoes in the same motion. I watch you. You leave your stuff on the floor – on my clean hallway floor – and you collapse onto the couch in the living room.
"Today was hell," you mutter, "Especially the traffic coming home. Ugh, dear god, am I glad to be sitting down right now. It felt like I was on my feet all day." You rub your hands briskly together as I continue to stare at you. "And boy is it cold outside. You know, I think my eyeballs almost froze. Hey, baby, can you get me some coffee? I could do with something warm right about now." Picking up the remote, you turn on the TV.
I continue to not speak, not move; just stare. You glance over at me. "Something wrong, sweetheart?" You ask innocently.
My voice is as icy as the wind outside, "You are late."
"Oh, honey, hey...I told you. Traffic and all..." Your voice trails off and you give a dismissive wave of your hand. "You know that's not my fault."
"You are late," I repeat.
"Hey, listen. I know I'm late," you reply, your voice rising in annoyance, "It couldn't be helped. I told you – all that fucking traffic."
"It wasn't the traffic," I respond, "I know what you've been doing."
"Woah...Hold on a sec. What the hell are you talking about?" You exclaim, rising to your feet.
My tone is unwavering, "I know." I watch a chill pass through your body. A visible shudder not created from the snow blanketing the outside.
"Listen...I...it's just...I...well, when you..." You are at a loss for words. I can see that you thought you had been so clever. How easy it must have seemed to you to have an affair with that slut from your office. You could see her during lunch times, stay a couple of minutes later after work...I wouldn't possibly be able to find out. You had counted on that.
It had felt like such an easy way to rebel from the way I dominated you. Not that you didn't want to be dominated. No, in fact, you had begged for it. You yearned for such a cruel and unrelenting mistress. But, when you finally got what you desired, you felt emasculated. And so, to prove that you were still a man, you began an affair with that easy tramp. She was more than willing to spread her legs for you, and more than willing for you to have control.
Your complete lack of eloquence at stumbling out a response failed. My steadfast glare causes you to give up trying to speak at all. Silence permeates the air for a full minute as you wait for me to say what I'm going to say.
"I'm sure that you have spent many years with women you can fuck over. Girls who are going to take crap like this from you for whatever reason. Little sluts who don't care who else you fuck as long as you fuck them as well..." I pause as I watch your eyes dart from mine to the floor, ashamed of yourself.
I continue, enjoying your discomfort, "Well, that isn't the way things work anymore. Not since you decided to be with me. Not since you promised to obey me and be mine. You don't get to fuck around with any whore. In fact, you don't get to fuck unless I say you can."
You start to interject, and I cut you off, "No. Don't speak. I didn't fucking tell you I wanted to hear any bullshit that came out of your mouth. I'm not sure why you thought that you could do whatever you wanted. Perhaps I simply didn't train you well enough. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear to you. But, honestly, I don't care the reason. I am through with you. I don't waste my time with a pitiful excuse for a man like you."
You are panic stricken. Never had you thought that I would reject you and tell you to leave. You drop from where you are standing to your knees. You lower your head downwards, not daring to look at my frosty glaze.
"Please, Mistress," you beg, "I made a mistake. A horrible mistake..."
"I have no use for those who are disloyal to me," I state with a calm coldness in my voice.
"Don't do this to me, Mistress, please. I...I didn't mean for this to happen." You are awash in desperation. You raise your head slightly, your eyes trying to search my face, assess if there is any hope left for you.
And that is when you feel the sting of my hand across your face, and you hear me laugh, "Didn't mean for this to happen? Hah...I will suppose next you will tell me it was an accident that your cock ended up inside that dirty twat. Don't insult me with such lies."
"Mistress...I...I don't know what to say," You take a deep breath of air, and let it out slowly, "I was a fool. I was a fool to think that I needed anyone else but you...But, now...Now, I know that I was wrong. It was my stupid pride. And I know there is no excuse for what I have done...But, please, Mistress, find it in your heart to forgive me." I study your face. The misery and the dejection you feel have contorted it. "Why should I give you another chance?"
"Mistress, the truth is...Well, I don't deserve another chance. I do not deserve your wonderful, loving attention. I do not deserve you, Mistress. But, I do wish to serve you. I do wish to be yours forever, to do what you will with. Please, do not leave me." You look up at my face again, and continue to plead silently with your eyes.
