We met on AOL, back when it had just become The Next Big Thing in the 90s. Her name was Susan, and she was pretty, blonde, with East European roots. In the real world she was a paralegal at some law firm in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. She planned to clear out her son, Danny, so that we could have some adult time. We had talked via Immediate Message for months, and then spoke on the phone a few times and at last met briefly at the Gale Street Inn. I was single at the time, living in the city, and eager for some play. She was a big girl, with an enormous ass that I could not stop thinking about. She was nervous, and insecure about her weight and about being deliberately submissive for the first time. However, she had read about it and she felt that was who she was. I conveniently agreed with her. We had this conversation the Friday before we were to meet.
"I would like to come over Sunday at 11:30," I said.
"11:30 will be good. I'll just be getting home from church then."
My eyebrows rose with interest. "What will you be wearing to church?."
"Well....a skirt, the navy one I think. I usually wear a white or a floral pattern on top. I'll change when I get home if you want."
"Goodness no. That is a perfect outfit." I continued, What shoes go with that outfit?
"I wear black flats," she said.
"I look forward to seeing you after church in that or a similar outfit. You should remember that a perfect pretense to redden your behind is that you "disappointed" me during inspection."
"Inspection?"
"Ms. Kamen, do you think I will come all the way out to Arlington Heights and not at the very least enjoy looking you over? I like the idea of looking at you intimately and perhaps spanking you If I think it's a good idea."
I listened to her reaction, trying to gauge what she was feeling. I said gently, " of course none of this is necessary. This is all for our pleasure. We can simply meet in public and have a cup of tea again and talk some more. Would you feel more comfortable that way? Or do you still want me to come over?."
She said quietly, "No, Russ, I would like you to come over." Her voice shook slightly in an endearing way.
I smiled to myself, planning, always planning. "Be a good girl. Say it again, Susan, at your normal voice level."
And she did so. This conversation was at about 5:30 on Friday. Fortunately, I had plans for most of the weekend, because I was eager to get 'Susie Cutie' (as I privately referred to her) to myself for the first time.
Sunday morning came. It was a cool, sunny March day, one that said 'spring is coming, but it'll be a while'. I got to Arlington Heights by 11:40. I pictured her having already checked the clock several times, making sure her apartment still looks neat, making sure the plate she put the selection of teas on looked nice, etc. Yes, I am sometimes mean enough to exploit a submissive's anxiety.
I stopped at a gas station close to where she lived. I used a pay phone to call her. Hardly anybody believes me, but back, in Neanderthal days, there were no cell phones. "Hello?" she said, her voice quiet but steady.
"Good morning, Susan. I'm close to your building. How was church?"
"It was very good, Russell."
"Sir. Today, you refer to me as "Sir." Understood?"
"Yes, Sir," she said shyly.
"If anything puts you off or if you just have a question or comment simply say "Arlington," and play stops. Is that okay?"
"Yes, Russell. I mean-"
"I know what you meant." I raised my voice slightly and added a stern tone unfamiliar to her. "But, you already broke a rule, didn't you? We will revisit this violation."
"Yes, Sir." she said, nervously. What she had been thinking about for weeks, was finally starting.
" To initiate a scene I will say, 'The Sun is a star.' Understood?"
"Yes Sir."
"The Sun is a star. After I hang up, you are to unlock your door, stand a few steps from it, hands clasped in front of you, feet together and head bowed. Is that Understood?"
"Yes, Sir. I'm sorry about that mista-"
Curtly, I intoned, "You may not speak now unless you're given permission."
I hung up and drove the last two blocks, parked and walked up to Room 205. I paused in front of her door, knowing she could hear that I was there. I let her wait, knowing that right now, thirty seconds will seem like another entire day of waiting. After enjoying her continued simmering, I walked in.
She stood as instructed, wearing her navy blue skirt and a conservative, white blouse. Her head was bowed, her chin length hair down and attractively styled in a bob. I stood for a moment and looked around. Her apartment was neat. There were posters from the movies Metropolis and Aliens. She had a few Lladro figures in a curio cabinet, along with various other heirlooms. I liked her furniture, especially the leather chair by the couch.
I walked around her, examining her. "Clasp your hands more tightly," I said with purposeful impatience. She rushed to correct her hands, though they were just fine. I poked the small of her back. "Straighten your posture, Miss." I walked in front of her.
"Head and eyes up" I instructed. She complied. I wanted her to see me, since I may blindfold her later. I wore black slacks, a vanilla dress shirt, a black, red, and vanilla tie, and black loafers. I keep my auburn hair long, tied into a pony tail, but neatly trimmed.
I looked at her levelly and said sweetly, "You look lovely, Susan." She smiled shyly. A second later I said, " Head and eyes down." She complied. I went on. "This is your home position. When I say "Home position," this is how you are to hold yourself. Understood?"
"Yes Sir."
"From this position, if you are given an instruction, you will give me a slight curtsy when you say 'yes sir. Understood?
"Yes Sir." She curtsied, but it looked awkward for her.
"Demonstrate a slight curtsy for me so we can agree on how it should look."
She did so, slightly bending her knees. "Your knee bend was sufficient. Your arms should be spread more. Do it one more time." She did so, and I was pleased. "That is sufficient," I said.
"We are going to your kitchen. The proper posture for walking is with your head down, and hands clasped in front of you, two steps behind me. I will tell you to 'follow me', you will curtsy, say "yes sir" and then comply." I waited a second for this all to register and then I said
"Follow me." She complied beautifully. I walked into the kitchen with her following dutifully. "Show me where you keep spatulas and the like."
She walked over to a drawer and pointed to it, not sure what to do next. Nervously, she moved a medium sized stool that seemed to be out of place to a spot beneath the nearby telephone landline. I walked over to where she stood and instructed her.
"After you have complied with an instruction, return to the Home position if it's not obvious what to do next. If you are ever uncertain about what to do, return to Home. You won't be punished for returning to Home, unless you are deliberately disobeying me. Now, however, open the drawer."
She curtsied and then did so.
