My name is emerald. I have another, one I was born with, but it hasn't been used for a couple of years now. emerald is my stage name, it is the colour of my eyes and my favourite gem. But most importantly it is the name my Master gave to me when W/we met two years ago.
I am an actress and a model. I'm not big yet, like Gwyneth Paltrow, but I'm known well enough in the Canadian industry that I'm always working. In fact, that's why it took me 18 months to make this trip and why it's only for 3 days. Four, if you count today. Between work and my kids I almost never have time for myself. Oh, I make time to exercise and see my lover [Master knows and approves], but I don't get holidays.
It is O/our anniversary and at His request I am flying to see Him in person for the first time ever. W/we've developed a relationship online over the time since W/we met. He was new to the D/s thing but He picked it up quickly. And well. I met Master at the same time I started my career in the Industry. I was battling depression and learning how to take care of my disability at the time. Between Master and my agent I was encouraged to take better care of myself. As a result I am almost pain free and have gone from a size 22 to a 10. I'm tall with large breasts, wide hips and a small waist. The perfect hourglass figure capped with long hair and held up by long shapely legs. I make any clothes look fantastic and at 31 I can play anyone in anything.
Enough bragging, Master wouldn't like it.
I am, at this moment, on my way. I argued, bartered and saved my way to this seat in first class. I almost feel like I belong on this side of the curtain too. I'm dressed the part. I'm wearing an emerald green, silk dress. It stops two inches above my knee and has a small slit on the left side. A scooped neckline and a french twist shows off my long neck and deep cleavage. The dress has a small dragonfly at the top of the slit that matches the tattoo on the back of my wrist. I wear no jewelry. Master forbade it.
He told me to wear this colour. Not because he'd have trouble identifying me but because He knew I'd make an impression on all who saw me. He knows me inside out, He will have no trouble identifying me, even without the dress. He also has a surprise for me He says, a present. I can't wait. W/we have exchanged a number of gifts but this one is very special.
I caught my breath as England unfolded before me. It was an incredible view! Waves crashing on the cliffs, the incredible green of the place. I have waited years for this view, to see the country of my ancestors. I would have given almost anything to see Scotland and Ireland as well. Anything except this time spent with Master. Time with Him far surpasses any other delights I can think of.
The seatbelt light flashed on and my breath quickened. Oh my God, I'm almost there! Suddenly I'm nervous. A thousand things run through my mind, a thousand things are dismissed as ludicrous. I close my eyes for a moment of meditation, to calm myself. I empty my mind of everything but Him. His presence has soothed me for these many months and I let it sooth me now. I don't hear the pilot's announcements welcoming me to the country. I don't feel the plane roll to a gentle stop or the thump of the gangway.
I heard none of that. I snapped to only when I heard the door open. With an effort I calm my shaking hands and stand. I smoothed my dress and longed for a mirror. Never mind, I decided, I know I look as perfect as possible.
Customs lines are a blur and suddenly He's there before me. "emerald." His voice makes me shiver with pleasure.
"Master," the word is a sigh, "You are more beautiful in person than I imagined." I dared look Him in the eye, then glanced quickly back down.
Master slipped a hand up my arm and I gasped at the electricity in the contact. He wrapped his hand around my neck and lowered his mouth to mine. I moaned and His gentle kiss turned to a passionate exploration. I leaned into Him and He wrapped His arms around me. W/we broke apart only when W/we heard, "Well! I never!" I blushed tomato red and Master chuckled.
"you, My pet, are far more than I expected. I am pleased to see you wearing the green."
"Thank You Master," I murmured.
He reached to the floor between his feet and picked up a flat white box. It was 6 inches square and maybe an inch thick. "My gift to you, emerald. Open it."
I gasped when I lifted the lid. Inside, resting on black velvet, was a finely tooled leather collar. It was almost exactly the same shade as my dress and a small silver charm was fixed to the center of it. Close inspection revealed that it was a dragonfly.
"Oh Master!" Tears filled my eyes, "This is beautiful! I don't know how to thank You."
Master laughed as He circled my neck with the collar and snapped it together. "I'm sure I will think of something."
I sat submissively beside Master in the car. I was delighted in being allowed to view the passing countryside but I did so as quietly as possible. I sat with my hands in my lap, back straight, knees and ankles together. I dared not look at Master. Occasionally, I stroked the collar.
"you are looking pensive, emerald. Is there something you wish to say? Master was generous in asking me my thoughts.
"Only that I am thrilled to be here with You Master!" I turned my head from the window, speaking to my lap. "I am honoured by Your gift Master, it is a beautiful treasure."
I could hear the smile in His voice, "I am pleased you feel the trip is already worth it, My pet."
"Oh yes Master! Very much so!" I smiled brilliantly at Him.
He grinned back then slanted one eyebrow upward at me, I quickly moved my gaze back to the scenery. W/we were well out of London now and heading southeast to Canterbury. A raging tourist attraction, because of the Cathedral, the town offers choice hotels and an opportunity to get lost in the crowds when T/they are out and about. Master had chosen The Falstaff, right beside West Gate Towers. It's a beautiful 15th century coaching inn and seemed the perfect setting for O/our holiday.
W/we arrived at The Falstaff and Master checked U/us in while I waited behind Him. I walked two steps back and one to His right. A bellhop picked up the bags and led U/us to the lift. I followed Master's steps exactly and turned as He did in the lift. That's when I saw the wall and doors were mirrored. The temptation to study my Master in person was great. This was a major test of my submission to keep my eyes on the floor. He was watching me and saw me struggle. I was resolved not to fail this first test. I kept my eyes on His shoes.
The bellhop opened the door and deposited the baggage. I waited in the middle of the room, still watching the floor. Master handed him a tip and closed the door. The second I heard the latch click I was on my knees. I knelt, head down, hands behind my back as Master liked. I waited as He checked out the room and was soon rewarded with his shoes in my vision.
