It was frustrating to be simply Rowan again, working, taking lunch breaks, fighting traffic. I kept thinking about Mistress. Kitten. The guy in the leather pants.
My bare breasts.
I was in a meeting on Friday morning, figuring out how many minutes until lunch and the end of Norman Bickerman droning on and on about safety flowcharts. I'd had chains on my wrists. I'd like to see where that would fit on his chart.
This made me very aware of my breasts, my nipples. The feel of my bra.
I tried to focus on Norman and safety. Lunch. Afternoon. Packing my laptop. Traffic.
Finally. Finally the day was over. I was home.
I pulled off my shirt, slid off my bra. I'd been waiting all day. I put on a blouse over my naked breasts, feeling the fabric touch my skin.
There's a difference between wearing a shirt to bed, without a bra, versus deliberately donning a blouse I'd worn at work several times - but without a bra. Standing in front of my mirror, I raised my arms over my head, watching the material tighten over my breasts. The fabric touching my nipples, moving over them, felt wonderful.
I practiced in front of the mirror, resting my crossed arms on my head, as Kitten had done. I unbuttoned the blouse, opening it, then put my arms up again.
My nipples were tight. I turned, looking at my breasts, naked and full.
When I saw Mistress next, I could unbutton my blouse for her.
Sure.
The next day was Saturday, and I gripped the steering wheel, driving back to the beach. Twice, I almost turned around. Did I really want to go through the Looking Glass again? I'd called Nyssa before I left, wondering if she wanted to ride with me. No answer. Just a message that she was gone for the weekend. Was she there? We had not mentioned Celia's birthday again.
All that wondering, and I realized I was back at The Caterpillar.
Time to go through the Looking Glass.
Kitten was waiting for me. We walked down the hall to the changing room. Boy, "changing" was right.
I was wearing the little white blouse, skirt, and ankle boots. No bra. And no panties. Okay then.
I followed Kitten to the dim room where I'd been before. I was nervous. Excited. Self-conscious.
Mistress entered, smiling. She walked slowly around me.
"Kitten. Take off your blouse for me." Mistress turned to me. "Watch carefully."
"Yes, Mistress." Did I just say that?
Kitten looked at Mistress, her eyes never moving away. She slowly unbuttoned her blouse, taking her time.
Ok. This is something I could do.
And then Kitten slowly.
Slowly.
Let the blouse slide off her arms, to the floor. Her eyes still on Mistress, Kitten raised her arms, resting them on her head, arching her back.
I was breathing hard. No other noise in the room.
Mistress walked around Kitten, just as slowly, touching a breast with some stick thing, now using a hand, stroking. Kitten finally closed her eyes, trembling a little.
