My fingers clutched the armrest of the chair as the Airbus descended towards the runway. The lurch that my stomach gave had less to do with the turbulent flight than with what was waiting for me at the end of the boarding rampβor, more accurately,
who
was waiting for me.
The woman sitting next to me glanced up from her book. An elderly black woman, she had kindly brown eyes and a smile that showed perfect white teeth smeared with apricot-colored lipstick. "You all right, child?" asked the woman. "There's nothin' to be scared of."
"I know," I replied, though the woman could hardly know. There was everything to be scared of, absolutely everything. What if he didn't like what he saw, what if he took me by the elbow and marched me off to the ticket counter for a return flight? Rejection would kill me, I was sure.
Of course I thought of rejection first, when there were very real concerns. I'd never met Jason before, though he had occupied much of my mind for the last several months. He was the last person I spoke to before going to sleep every night and one of the first I spoke to each morning. He was everything to me, and more.
Our relationship had started off when we met in a computer game. I was just finishing my degree in college and was extremely busy at the time, and ignored his first few attempts at discussion. I hadn't meant to be rude, of course, but back then I had no sense of control. Jason was...persistent.
The thing you should know about me is that I'm a ladyβat least I used to be. I go to church every Sunday, I volunteer for charity, I dress well. Sitting on the airplane next to Betty Johnson I was a virgin. Granted, I'd experimented with oral sex with a few of my serious boyfriends, but I'd never reached the point where I felt comfortable having sex with them.
You might say that I had a normal sexual background for a twenty-two year old woman. Only I had strange thoughts, bizarre fantasies that troubled me as much as they aroused me. After all, I was a
Republican
and Republicans didn't think about these things. I thought of being dominated by a man, of being taken and used for his pleasureβ
That's how it clicked with Jason. He mentioned (now I can't even remember how we got to the subject) having some bizarre sexual preferences. I wondered if he was one of those furries. But as we spoke more, I discovered that he was dominant. Something inside me snapped; I wanted to hear more, to learn. Here was someone who understood and could possibly explain the fantasies I'd been having.
And he did. We chatted daily, flirted, grew closer. We delved into erotic chat, cybersex, and I explored my submissive side. The more I acted out my submission, the more it felt good, and right, and natural. This was a woman's place, I thought: serving a man.
Anything he described doing to me I would do in person to myself, including taking a sex toy in my mouth, pussy, or ass and spanking myself until I had vicious welts. I was perpetually wet and ready for him, even while I punished myself for his pleasure.
I loved him; I wanted him more every time I saw him. At the beginning of my submission he forbade me to touch myself or orgasm without his permission. I was totally dependent upon him for release, and he took great pleasure in being the man who turned me into a sexual being. Before him, I would masturbate maybe three or four times a month. With him, I needed release several times a day. He granted me that pleasureβmost of the time.
He decided I should come for a visit. Paralyzed with fear and shyness, I had no choice but to agree and we made the arrangement. I would fly out and spend ten days with him to discover if this was the lifestyle I wanted. And the ten days began that day as I stood from my airplane seat and gathered my carry-on luggage.
Black and white fabric swirled around my knees as I walked up the jetway. My black high-heels threatened to trip me and I had to pause before the curve, so he wouldn't see me hesitate and hold the railing for support. Betty Johnson stopped beside me. "What's wrong, child?"
"Nothing," I murmured, closing my eyes. "I'm just nervous."
"Meeting someone?" she asked with a knowing smile.
"Yes," I responded, my hand going to the choker at my neck. I smiled back and said, "I think I'm fine now."
We walked together, her with a bag stuffed with crossword puzzle books, me with a small briefcase. She broke away at the gate, waving me goodbye as she stepped into the ladies' room. I followed the signs towards the baggage claim, leaving the security area after a few moments.
An arm wrapped around me from behind, pulled me back. I stiffened, almost screamed, but a moment later he turned and I found myself looking into his face as his arms encircled my waist. I was dumbstruck and felt oddly ashamed as I found myself gawking at him. He was as handsome as his pictures had let on.
I felt color rise in my cheeks and dropped my gaze to his chest. After a moment I felt his hand on my chin, lifting my face to look at him again. When he kissed me, I felt my knees tremble. I dropped my bag and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling myself closer to him until my body nested against his.
