It's Thursday again, I noted to myself, circling the day on my office calendar to emphasize the words. But instead of my normal combination of anticipation and excitement at the thought of our weekly rendezvous, my stomach twisted with anxiety until I was forced to bolt for the office bathroom and vomit for what would be the third time this morning. On the way back to my desk, I grabbed a bottle of water from the break room and drank half of it before sitting back down again. I have news for Him tonight, news that will very likely change everything and I have no idea of how He will respond. What if He no longer wants me? What if He thinks this is too much? Panic rose in my chest as I fiddled with the cap to the bottle of prenatal vitamins on my desk until it slipped through my fingers and the contents of the bottle poured out over my desktop, rolling this way and that. I swore under my breath and swept the capsules up, depositing them back into the bottle and dropping it into my purse. As if on cue my cell phone vibrated. I unlocked my screen and opened my text messages, revealing a message from Him.
*Good morning little one, how did you sleep? -- M*
Through my nerves I could not suppress a smile at His nickname for me as I tapped out a response.
*Good morning to you as well Master, I slept great. How about you? --g *
*I slept well. I have you on the brain this morning, is everything alright? -- M*
I gasped in surprise. It always took me by surprise when He seemed to pick up on my distress even when we weren't in close proximity to one another. I knew that I neither could nor wanted to lie to Him but I had no idea how to respond. This wasn't exactly the type of news that one shared in a text message. Ultimately I decided that complete transparency was best.
*I'm feeling very anxious for tonight. --g*
Before pressing send I paused and rethought the vagueness of my answer then added to my message. I knew He wouldn't be pleased if He felt that I was holding anything back. I quickly added:
*To be completely honest I have some news for you but I feel that it would be more appropriately shared in person than by text message. --g*
His response took a few moments and I could almost feel Him wrestling with His desire to force me to tell Him now. He knew just as well as I did that if He asked, I would give Him anything He requested of me. I breathed a sigh of relief when I finally read His words.
*I will admit I am curious but I trust your judgment, you may wait and share it with me tonight. Don't be anxious we'll take care of what it is. In the meantime, I have an assignment for you to steady your nerves:
Go to the ladies room and go into the largest stall. Remove two bobby pins from your purse or hair and bring them with you. Once you are inside the largest stall, pull the neckline of your blouse and the cups of your bra down underneath your breasts. Then take the hair pins and clip them around your nipples and remember to breathe. Once that is done, take a picture with your phone and send it to me. Then, leave the hairpins in place but reassemble your bra cups and blouse. Then you may return to your desk. You may not fondle or play with yourself in any way, but leave them in place until we meet this evening. Every time you feel them tug on your sweet nipples I want you to breathe in through you nose and out of your mouth and say "Thank you, Master." --M*
Even as I read the words I felt a stirring deep inside of me and the muscles deep inside of me clenched tightly. I replied with a simple, "Yes, Master", and then I stood and made my way back to the ladies room, hair pins in hand. After locking myself into the stall I did as He had instructed and pulled the neckline of my blouse down over my breasts, as well as pushing the cups of my bra to sit below them as well. The cool air rushing against them caused my nipples to stand at attention painfully. Considering how sensitive they had been lately I knew that this would be painful but I craved the connection with my Master that I knew it would provide. So I gave my nipple a swift pinch and allowed the metal of the bobby pin to bite into my tender flesh. I gasped and held my breath, becoming light headed after a few seconds. In that moment I heard his voice in my head, "Remember to breathe." In obedience with his silent instruction, I drew in a breath through my nose and out of my mouth. My hand sat poised to position the second pin but the sting of the first left me hesitant. Then, drawing on my courage I gripped the un-afflicted nipple and clasped the fresh bobby pin around it. The sensation was heady and I struggled to catch my breath again, and even more than with the first clip. The first nipple had already begun to throb and I longed to remove it, to provide the relief I knew would come but that displease him. He knows what I need and I trust him with my life, this situation being no exception; so the clips stayed in place. Turning to face the light I smiled sweetly and snapped a quick picture with my phone. After attaching a simple caption: "Thank you, Master." I sent the picture to him, feeling more grounded already. His response came through almost immediately.
*Mmm aren't you a treat? Good girl Grace, now return to your desk and try to focus on your work. It will be a challenge here as well but I will await your news and your orgasm tonight. --M*
His pride in me left me smiling from ear to ear and I left the ladies room and returned to my desk. Within a few hours I was spent and my nipples protested loudly against the bobby pins from their place inside of my bra. I'd already been asked numerous times if I was feeling alright because apparently I was looking a little flushed; couldn't imagine why though. I squirmed constantly in my seat, my sodden pussy aching for release. It seemed that the clock was taunting me as the hands drug themselves toward 6 o'clock. I almost expected to hear from Him again but my phone remained silent. He was giving me space but I had no doubt that He would want to talk immediately tonight, which didn't provide much reprieve for my high strung body. I shifted in my chair again and winced as the pins on my nipples caught against the fabric of my bra. "Thank you, Master." I breathed quietly.
When the clock finally showed 5:00pm, I left work so quickly I felt as though I had wings. The burn of the pins I wore were well beyond both pleasure and pain and I felt as though he may have very well heard my benedictions for as many times as my lips thanked Master today. My preparations were tedious as my trembling hands forced me to do and re-do tasks which normally took only minutes. I'd settled into my kneeling place on the place mere moments before the deadbolt began to turn. I sat up tall on my knees with my arms behind my back, my hands interlaced together and I pushed my chest outward. The moment the door opened His presence was almost audible. The air around us crackled with tension as He stepped forward to stand before my place in the floor. I waited obediently staring at His glossy black work shoes until at last He spoke.
