I was happy with Catherine and over the next few weeks I spent much of my spare time with her, which delighted her as she couldn't do enough for me. I started to get her to change how she dressed, getting her to buy garter belts and more modern knickers and bra's, particularly under cup and push-up bras, as I told you she was plump and had such lovely tits. I asked her to get rid of those girdles, particularly the panty girdles I hated them, when I felt she needed to pull her tummy in she could wear a bodice or corset, and to buy some decent nice sheer nylon stockings. She also had a nice shapely bum and legs, her shoes were not too bad, and fortunately she had a passion for high heels, but like the rest of her clothes were a little out of style, I got her a nice pair of black stiletto heels. She was more than happy to update her wardrobe with my suggestions to please me, and with a change to her hairdo it made her look ten years younger, she was like a little kid in her excitement and it made me feel good too, and I admit less embarrassing to be seen out with her as a result.
I was learning from her too, what cutlery to use when dining in the better restaurants she enjoyed, a lot about clothes and how to tell good quality from looking at garments, rather than just assuming something is OK because of the label, and color coordination in selecting items to go with another piece of clothing. As I said I was to learn later I had a high I.Q., and found I was automatically improving my speech by associating with a better class of people, and more importantly was enjoying it.
We started going to a few of the places that Sue had told me about that were tolerant of lesbians, and in a couple of them could be found gay men. It wasn't obvious at first till you knew what to look for, when they met a quick peck on the lips instead of the cheek as some people do when meeting friends, hands touching one another briefly, they way they would look at one another. One place that surprised me was one of the lounges in one of the better class hotels in the city. It was a bit of a posh place, still the signs were there too. Catherine fitted in nicely as this was the kind of class she was most comfortable in.
Going there on a regular basis we got to know other lesbians, and for some reason I was surprised to find most of them were well educated, professional women. I used to think such people were snobs, as I hated the teachers I had in school, female as well as male, or anyone else in some kind if authority. Now here I was mixing and chatting with them as if we were equals.
Around the second or third week of September we had gone for a drive into the highlands and stopped at a pub for a drink and a snack. It was a beautiful sunny day, a little on the cool side but really bright when she asked me to come live with her and we talked about it. She didn't seem to care about what people thought, but I was a bit concerned myself although I loved the idea and finally agreed. To the outside world I would become her boarder, and she would be my 'landlady'.
I told Sue about Catherine, and admitted to her I had turned queer, she just smiled at me as if she wasn't surprised, guessing correctly from the way I'd asked quizzed her about places where queers hang out. I told her about Catherine and she said something like, "well at least you're moving up in the world", working in a fancy restaurant, dressing better and now hanging out with the rich." It felt good that I could talk to someone from my background about those things.
I moved in with Catherine at the end of September, and fixed up the spare room as my room, although in reality I was taking over the big bedroom. Now I had a housekeeper as well as a lover who catered to my every whim, waiting on me hand and foot as if I was the queen or something. My birthday is in the middle of October and she bought me a beautiful pair of high heeled boots as winter was coming on, not the kind of thing I would buy for myself as they were very expensive.
I was getting bolder too, and more curious and started quizzing her about her life in Rhodesia, and how she got involved in lesbianism. She said her Nanny had started to molest her when she was very young, a black woman as were all the servants. She said she was good to her in a way, as she spent most of her time in her company as her father worked, 'for the company' although he was a part owner, and her mother worked in town.
She admitted she liked the sexual touching, her Nanny wasn't too forceful and would hold her firmly on her knee and get her to suck her tit, while she 'tickled her fancy' in return. As she got older this progressed to masturbating each other. She was warned to keep quiet about what they were doing or the Voo Doo would come and take her away. Apparently there was a lot of superstition about this Voo Doo stuff among the locals, and she got brain washed with it too as a child.
Later in her teens she got involved with another black friend of hers and that's when the bondage started. They were together for many years till they got found out when a relative of the black woman walked in and blew the whistle on them. The unrest among the natives had been growing over the years so was the hatred of the whites. The outcome was her family immediately shipped her back to Scotland in disgrace.
Her stories of her and her lover excited me and one night at home she got out a suitcase, and from it removed some leather restraints and asked me to bind her so I did, starting with a pair of leather cuffs with her wrists behind her back, then later around her ankles. I told you before how she would say to me things like, "you can do what you want with me", and "you can't hurt me as I love you" and the true meaning of what she wanted was lost on me at the time.
