09) PARTY TIME
(party at the Lost and Found)
β The one where Damian goes back to the Fetish club where the end began.
Damian and Cassie, his neo-dominatrix wife from whom he's separated, are still trying to see if they can make their relationship work again after both of their betrayals of each other. Cassie has pushed him and her submissive lover, Cynthia, into forming their own relationship and it turns out that Damian gives Cynthia something Cassie cannot, but Cassie doesn't know that yet. Cynthia has begged Damian to fix his relationship with Cassie.

Since it's an alternate universe, it may not follow all the rules, but it follows the rules of this universe...
It is bright outside, but the lighting in here is subdued... and one of the fluorescent lights above is stuttering. The three of us are shopping happily.
The ladies have invited me to the Lost and Found grand closing blowout party tonight. It's something about an Alice in Wonderland theme. They are helping me pick out a costume to wear and we've come to the local adult supplies store where we're rummaging the leatherwear section.
Cass is really at a loss.
"How about something Cheshire Cat?"
She finds a hood with cat ears, but frets that it makes me look "bottom." Cynthia and I smile at each other behind her back, since we know I'm not nearly as bothered, now, as she's afraid I am. I shrug, then disappear for a couple minutes.
Cass realizes I'm, gone and panics to find me, eventually meeting me in the pornographic DVD section as I return with something behind my back.
Surrounded by porn. How romantic is that?
"Cassie, I have a gift I'm buying you..."
She looks at me curiously.
I show her a collar and leash.
She's temporarily surprised and looks at me confused.
"Who is this for? Me or you?"
I smile and shrug "Your choice."
Over Cass' shoulder, I see Cynthia beside herself with delight as she watches this unfold. I've chosen this moment to come out to Cass.
Who looks very confused.
I lean over her shoulder and whisper in her ear, so Cynthia can hear "you're not the only one who's developed a few kinks and skills, young lady."
Cynthia smiles, considers and leans over the other ear from behind Cass "and I'll attest that he's very good at it."
Realization dawns on Cassie as I see her slowly grin from ear-to ear.... I fantasize that her face will disappear leaving only the grin as she processes.
"Okay. Got it...
She thinks, then goes on... "Tonight, I think this collar is for you. It will be safer, since you don't know the scene... and I'm already known as Mistress Grace there. It would be upsetting to see any reversals... we want tonight to go smoothly."
Cynthia... Mistress Syn... excuses herself after kissing both of us because she has a "lot to do" before the party. I can tell she's super pleased with how this just went down.
Among the porn DVDs.
And then Cassie... no, Mistress Grace... looks at me, smiles and shakes her head, then giggles and pulls me back to the leatherwear. The decision is now easy for her. She selects the black leather cat hood/mask and a white leather two-piece catsuit (with tail). Happily, they have my size (remarkable luck, since they weren't well-stocked). She shyly, tentatively puts the collar on me.
Then more boldly, she attaches the leash. She smiles wickedly and tugs, suddenly dragging me by the leash through the checkout. When checking out, we chat with the cashier there, who mentions they've had a huge demand for fetish wear because of the Lost and Found party tonight. She's absolutely indifferent at Cassie dragging me around with a leash and collar, but makes sure to put them on the bill too.
Cass then leads me to the car and on to the crafts store. There, she giddily pulls me by the leash to the paint section. She gets a bunch of leather stain paints and we check out. The leash and collar are getting a lot of curious stares, but we don't care. Then we go back to our house... um... Cass's house (ouch) and start painting the mask and catsuit to match each other and the traditional Cheshire cat striped colors. She even manages to paint a perfect huge grin on the mask.
Of course, the boys are with Cass' parents this weekend: she needed the flexibility because of the party.
She kisses me, then gets serious and looks in my eyes.
"Thank you, Damian Hayes. Thank you for everything."
"Thank you, Cassie... W... Wilkins."
She looks mock-angry.
"Cassie Hayes to you. Wilkins was my maiden name, sir."
That feels good. She hasn't given up yet. I won't either.
--
We separate; apparently, Cass has some responsibilities to help set up the Lost and Found. I offer to help and she smiles and says she wants it to be a surprise for me too.
So I go 'home' to my apartment that afternoon, nervous, but really titillated.
When evening comes, I try to slide into the catsuit. It seemed so much easier at the store when Cassie was there to help me, but I'm all alone now. Breathlessly trying to get my leg in, despite the constrictive chest piece around my torso, I briefly consider asking that redhead MILF next door for help. Then I laugh at how absurd that thought was.
...Or was it...?
No! Stop! I put that idea out of my mind. If this is going to happen, I'm going to be monogamous
right
this time. Or... di-ogamaous? Or tri-ogamous? What's the word? Is there one?
I'll make it work if we can heal to that point, damn it!
I am actually excited!
Then it strikes me. I'm going to the Lost and Found. This is big. This is the place that ended me. And it's the end of the place that ended me. And in a way... it's the place where my reboot was begun. So, what's tonight? The end of the place that ended me? The beginning of my new ending?
Then I am terrified. What if 'Mistress Grace' turned up in that leather suit she was wearing that horrible night?
I could still end it then.
Damn. I still have the key to plan 'B.'
