Denmark
I walked into my apartment and took a long sigh. It was finally over. I was divorced from Kevin. Divorces inherently have terribly bitter times. I was grateful I had a beacon of hope. The light that shined like a lighthouse in the darkest of days arose from an unlikely source, an online Mistress. I never romantically kissed another woman or anything. I'm heterosexual, but being with Mistress Janice seemed to come naturally. I thoroughly enjoyed submitting to her whim. She would watch me through my camera, hear what I said and her commands would come on the screen. I could feel the pleasure she derived from controlling me.
There were invariably limits as long as I was married; there was only so far she would take things. I think it was done to encourage me to finalize things. However, we made plans for this day. She sent me a large package, with instructions not to open it until my marriage was officially over. I thought about what was in the box. The box was large, but pretty light. I shook it, but the sound of something large and light gave me no more of a clue.
Mistress Janice lived in Denmark, I was in Canada. I purchased plane tickets for later today. I would be visiting her for a two-week vacation. I was so excited! She even assured me I would have my own bed; I wouldn't have to sleep on her couch.
I logged in and set up the camera. Mistress Janice was able to see and hear me. I had never heard her voice, she responded with text. She had sent me a picture for me to look at when serving her. Janice was online waiting. I showed displayed the box for the camera to show it was still sealed. It was important for her to know I was genuine and followed her instructions. I eagerly slit the tape and peeled back the box flaps. I reached into the packaging and pulled out a massive medical neck brace made of bright white plastic. The posture collar portion would clearly cradle my chin and rise up even higher behind my head. Two rigid steel bars dropped down from the front of the collar, one in back leading to a chest portion. The chest section was rigid plastic front and back. It looked truly formidable.
The words appeared on my screen. "Put it on dear."
As if in a trance, I opened up the fastenings on one side of the brace. I noticed the entire inside was padded. I slipped it on. It went all the way down to the bottom of my rib cage. I set my chin in the divot in the collar, feeling it gripping snugly, holding my jaw firmly in place. I secured the strap around my chest, then the one over my shoulder. The brace wasn't tight like a corset, but it was very rigid and so conspicuous. As I cinched up the neck portion, my head was forced into exact and proper posture. I couldn't turn much at all. Next I pulled the strap that connected to the back of the collar, all the way up by my temple. I pulled the strap across my forehead, forcing my head against the back of the collar. A bit of Velcro held it in place.
Janice typed out "How does it feel?"
I awkwardly got into my chair to respond. "It is totally controlling Mistress. I can't look up or down, or rotate my head at all. It is probably best I'm able to talk; I can't even look down enough to see my keyboard."
Mistress seemed quite pleased that it was so restrictive. "Oh how sweet! Take a while to adjust the fit. This is your new slave collar. It goes on before you leave for the airport, and stays on."
My jaw dropped as much as the collar allowed. "Everyone along the way would see it!"
"Exactly! Everyone will see you are restricted and controlled. I demand it to be very conspicuous."
My natural reaction was to dip my head submissively, but my head didn't move at all. I was forced to keep looking right at the camera and Janice. I muttered a timid "Yes Mistress." My mind swirled with such intense emotions. My terror battled with the thrill of showing off Mistress' collar. How would people react?
I realized I had no choice. The collar would be on, as Mistress Janice commanded it to be. With that realization, a sense of confidence came over me. I could obey Mistress' wishes, and my compliance would please her. It was time to finish packing for the flight.
I disembarked from the plane in Copenhagen. The trip had been a long blur. So many people asked what happened to my neck, and how long I would have to wear the brace. It started from the Uber driver who chauffeured me to the airport to anyone who spent more than 30 seconds near me for the entire trip. The first time I was asked, I stumbled over saying I tripped on steps while trying to avoid a cat. It seemed reasonably plausible. I nearly fell down the steps so many times from kitties getting underfoot. With each telling, the story got easier to tell as I convinced myself it was the truth.
I had a window seat for my flight. I couldn't really look out the window, nor turn to face the chatty woman who sat next to me. Every time I thought of doing it; I felt Mistress' firm hand restraining me. It was humbling and yet so intoxicating to be wearing a visible slave collar out in public!
I walked through the airport, seeing so many people turn their heads to gawk at me as they walked by. Some of them tried hiding it; some were blatant. I felt so self-conscious. Everyone who looked caused me to be all the more aware of my status and why I was wearing the conspicuous brace. I was owned; Mistress' property.
There were many people at the greeting area near the baggage claim in Copenhagen. Mistress knew what I looked like. I had earned the honor of one picture. Janice said she was female and in her 30's. All sorts of fears ran through my head. "Mistress Janice" could be a guy in his 60's pretending to be female; I couldn't really be certain. I rotated my body to scan through the crowd for someone who was looking at me. I realized the futility; half of the crowd was looking at my restrictive collar and me.
At the baggage carousel, everyone was peering down to watch as our luggage traversed. The brace firmly maintained my head upright; I couldn't look down. I knelt on the ground to get my head more aligned with the luggage. It was another sign I was different. I'm sure people stared, but I couldn't see their faces.
I saw my luggage, snatched it off of the carousel, and awkwardly meandered my way to the exit. I had no idea where I was going.
A pair of hands grabbed the lower part of the brace around my rib cage. I heard a female voice say "Hello slave. Welcome to Denmark!"
My feeling of being lost and alone was immediately transformed into elation. Mistress was here! And I loved her accent! I tried turning around to finally lay eyes on her, but her hands gripped me firmly in place. I felt utterly controlled, yet re-assured. She met me at the airport, and she is female as she said!
