"I want to go with you to the science fiction convention next weekend," Michelle said.
It was a bit of a surprise to me. We'd been sleeping together for a few months, and though she was interested in my life, she wasn't very interested in my sf habit.
"That'd be great," I said.
She winked at me. "It's not the panels and stuff that interest me. I remember you talking about the stuff that goes on 'after hours.' I think I'm ready to take a chance."
That was the big surprise. Michelle is great: really cute, with long dark hair and a rockin' little bod, but she's rather shy in public.
"What did you have in mind," I asked. Trying not to get my hopes up too far.
"Your slave girl, on a leash. Like Princess Leia, in a skimpy bikini and under your control."
She really did want to make my dreams come true. "That sounds great!"
It wasn't the brass bikini from the movie, but Michelle did find a skimpy little black, leather number that got my engine revving. I added a long black cloak, and cuffs for her wrists and ankles.
Standing still, with the cloak covering her, she seemed almost Victorian: all covered up but for a little bit of ankle showing over her sandals. But walking, I knew (and she'd soon find out), it would be a completely different picture, as the cloak billowed behind her.
"One more addition," I suggested. "A domino mask. Everyone is going to want to take your picture, so the anonymity of the maskβ"
She immediately understood.
Driving to the convention, I suggested she wear the mask the whole weekend, regardless of what else she was wearing. Since she'd never been around these people, the air of mystery might make her a little more comfortable. And we got her a badge that just read "Rodd's". She purred at that.
Friday evening we stayed in our regular street clothes, while I showed her around the convention. We looked in on some panels, walked through the dealers' room, and ogled some of the hall costumes. Late night we walked in and out of parties and the dealers' row rooms, and I surreptitiously watched Michelle admiring the bondage gear and costumes in one room. "Soon," I thought.
She was eager in bed that night (well, I can't blame her: I was just as ready).
Saturday was a good day of talking with friends, and enjoying our mini-vacation.
It was after dinner that Michelle decided she was ready to take her first plunge in public cosplay. She asked me to give her a half hour alone in the room while she changed, so she could surprise me with the complete picture, and I readily agreed.
I wandered down to the bar for a drink with a Tom and Sarah, asking them to help me out when we ran into each other at the parties later. They readily agreed to help make Michelle's slave debut a bit more memorable.
After half an hour, I was back at our room, knocking on the door.
"I'm ready," I heard from inside, and I opened the door.
There she was, standing in her black leather bikini, hands behind her back, hair straight down. Though I knew her body intimately, it was as if I'd never seen her before. I was ready to grab her and take her to bed right that moment.
"Are you ready, slave," I asked, in a menacing voice.
She giggled. "I think so." She held out her hands to me, to attach the cuffs, and I buckled them on. The same with her ankles. Then I showed her the collar. She nodded, and then picked up her chin.
Then I shook out the cloak, and tied it around her neck. She was my little goddess.
"Are you ready for your debut," I asked.
She shivered a little, and then said "Yep. Let's go."
We walked to the door. "Oh," I said. "Remember your room key and ID."
"Already got them in here," she said huskily, pointing to her little leather bra.
On the party floor, I could tell at once Michelle was the object of a lot of male attention (and some female attention, too). She took my hand, and grinned up at me.
In one party, I pushed her into a dark corner, and kissed her, deeply.
She responded instantly, almost frantically.
As we were kissing, I took a carabiner off my belt. Then I took her hands in mine, pushed them behind her back, and slipped the carabiner into the rings on her cuffs, locking them behind her back.
She gave a little shiver, but didn't say anything.
