I am standing on the steps in front of a nondescript door. Of course, I am too early. I walk around the nondescript block of buildings, a rundown office building, an auto repair shop, a tire store which does not look very prosperous, an Asian cafe which is not going to open for a few hours. It starts to drizzle. I shelter under an awning. Determined not to back down now
I return to the door. I check my watch again. I wait until it is thirty seconds before 10 AM. As instructed; I message the person whom I am to meet. She gives me the code to open that nondescript door. I do so.
I climb three flights of stairs, determined not to back down now. There is a dingy bathroom and a few doors identified only by anonymous numbers. I knock at the appropriate door. The door opens. I'm Troy, I say. Come in, she says.
I enter a small foyer with a bench. Take off your shoes, she says. And strip completely naked, including your watch. Then come in. I am trembling slightly but I do as I'm told. In a shudder of anticipation, I realize I have to remove my watch so that it won't interfere with any handcuffs.
Kneel on the cushion, she instructs. She is sitting on a wide sofa. How are you feeling? Nervous. I say, truthfully. I have never done this before, I don't know what to expect.
You don't need to worry, my first ever Femdom reassures me. I have been doing this for more than twenty years.
