Happiness is not just a word

This is the 4
th
, and final, part of the story about a woman who is a dominatrix for recreation and a hitwoman for work. Each chapter can be ready as an independent story but there is a link and I think they are better read in chronological order. But it's up to you as the reader.

Three years ago
I scanned the city from my penthouse. There wasn't a building anywhere nearby as tall and the full height windows even allowed me to see the lake which must have been all of thirty miles away. The number of occasions I had spent time there at my little log cabin relaxing away from the internet and media. Looking down I could see the ants below scuttle around, and although I was too high to see, I knew they would be holding the obligatory coffee in a branded cardboard cup. The thought of being part of that world was a nightmare. The house phone rang, disturbing my reverie.
"Hello," I said, knowing it wouldn't be anyone else but the concierge.
"I have a young man here, Miss. Apparently a Mrs Trench has asked him to call and see you."
"Ask him his name, Patrick." Freya has sent someone to see me? This was a first. She herself had visited me several times, sometimes with Alexander, and we had spent some enjoyable evenings at a club, just a few miles away, that catered for our needs.
A few seconds passed and then Patrick came back. "Adam, Miss."
This was interesting. Freya wouldn't have done it without a purpose.
"Send him up, Patrick."
I stood facing the doors of my penthouse elevator as they split open.
"Come in, Adam," I said, in a voice which showed the warmth I felt for him. He held a white envelope, knelt down, and offered it to me. "What's this, Adam?"
"Mistress Freya sent me to give you this envelope, Mistress, and after reading it requested you let her know your decision."
My Dear Hela,
Adam has completed his basic training and I'm satisfied he's ready to move on to the next stage. It was clear to me when you last visited you had more of an interest in him than as a Mistress. Since you left Adam has mentioned your name at every possible opportunity. Occasionally at times I've deemed inappropriate and I have punished him, but not very hard, just enough to satisfy my wicked sense of humour. I could, of course, advance his training further myself but wondered if you would like the responsibility? I realise you are occasionally away on business, for varying lengths of time, but I'm sure Adam would be able to look after himself, and be trusted, in your absence. If you decide it's not feasible send him back, he does have a return ticket, and I'll continue to advance his training. Naturally I wouldn't have sent him if I thought it was a bad idea.
Love,
Freya
"Are you aware of the contents of this letter, Adam?" I said, quietly. I would know from his reaction, no matter how small, if he had looked. I hoped he hadn't and was so pleased when his body, as well as his voice, told me he hadn't let me down. He didn't say anything other than '
no, Mistress'
but it was obvious, even though he would never dare to say so, how offended he was by the implications of my question. His head remained bent in deference, hiding the expression on his face. There was no way he felt entitled to look me in the eye. Nor was he entitled.
My finger under his chin raised his head, allowing him look in my eye. "That was all Mistress Freya said?" My voice, still soft, took on a positive note.
"To give you the letter, Mistress, and wait for your instructions," he said, his wish to please echoing through his words.
"I see. I have to consider the contents of this letter which will take some time," I said, half talking to him and half talking to myself. "You will need to stay here overnight."
He was unable to contain the smile spreading from ear to ear. "Whatever you wish, Mistress. What do you require of me while I'm here?"
I raised an eyebrow, crossed my arms, and gave him a quizzical look. I got the response I expected. His jacket went first, which he folded and carefully placed on the floor next to him. Then his shirt. He looked at me for permission.
"You may stand."
He finished undressing and picked up his clothing, putting his shoes on the top. I gestured for him to follow me and led him into the walk-in wardrobe adjacent to my bedroom. As he followed I knew he was checking out the room, particularly the rug by the side of the bed. I indicated a shelf on which he placed his clothes, and then he turned to me with a hesitant but excited look.
"May I speak, Mistress?"
"Go ahead."
"I need to remove something from my jacket."
I nodded, he reached inside the pocket and, when he turned, he had his collar in one hand and his leash in the other. I wasn't surprised for one moment he had them. Freya wouldn't have sent him without them. He offered them to me and turned his back. I placed the collar around his neck and attached his leash. By the time he turned to face me my expression of joy had been replaced by my mistress face.

Present day
My eyes were closed but, as usual every morning, my smile was present. I lay still for a couple of minutes, allowing my body to move as a woman's body does when asleep but being pleasured, before I opened my eyes and looked down towards the bottom of my bed and, as usual, saw the bulge in the covers at the join of my thighs.
In the three years since Adam appeared at my door, every morning he has woken me in the same way. Sometimes I had been asleep when he began and sometimes already awake. On those occasions, not wishing to spoil his enjoyment, I pretend to still be asleep. I threw aside the covers and, without stopping for a single second, he raised his eyes. Now he knew I was awake I was free to show, as I did every time, how much pleasure he gave me. He was so good it was a struggle to hold back my first orgasm as his tongue caressed my threshold and his lips pleasured my clit. Orgasm after orgasm was released until my brain couldn't cope any more. I curled my fingers in his hair as the signal for him to cease and he raised his head showing me the endearing smile that made me love him more every day. One of the many reasons I never wanted to be apart from him. When I was away I was always thinking of when I would be back.
We went into the bathroom, I removed his collar, and he followed me into the shower. I love the feel of water as it streams down my body, falling from my shoulders down my back and over my ass, washing over my breasts and down to my feet. I felt the cold as Adam poured the shampoo and rubbed it gently into my hair making sure every strand was included. The tips of his fingers felt so good as he massaged my scalp. He unhooked the shower head, moving around me as he washed away my cares. Not that I had many when he was around. He applied conditioner and, whilst waiting, soaped my body lingering on my breasts. As usual! Not a pleasure I ever wanted to deny him. After rinsing away the conditioner we stepped out of the shower and he dried me thoroughly with his usual tender care. He held my robe, which I slipped into and he wrapped a towel around himself. We went back into the bedroom where he dried and combed my hair, taking great care to please me as he always did. I dressed myself leaving him to return to the shower to take care of himself now my needs had been satisfied.
By the time he came naked into the kitchen I had the breakfast half cooked. I like cooking and baking. It might seem a little incongruous taking into account my line of work and our relationship but that's the way it is.
"I need to talk to you about something," I said, as we finished eating and I nursed my coffee whilst he was pouring himself a second cup. I could see from the look on his face he thought he had done something wrong and I realised it was because of the serious tone of my voice. I leaned over the table and held his hands in mine.
"You've done nothing wrong. It's something else. After my last job, on the way home, there was an incident. Another problem solver tried to kill me."
I could see from his expression his feelings but he held back and didn't interrupt.
"Several years ago I killed a man named Frank Marcus. He was a thug. Ruled by fear. Destroyed people's lives. Recently his widow and daughter discovered my alias and issued a contract. Someone tried to complete that contract but as I'm here you know they weren't successful. I can't let that situation remain. I need to deal with the Marcus's. First of all I need to put your internet skills to the test. I want you to find out all you can about them and more. I need to deal with them soon, very soon, before I meet another problem solver or an amateur trying to get rich quick."
