Laura had given John the keys and let him drive home. He hadn't been drinking. It was almost 2 in the morning and Laura's house was still a half hour away.
"Mistress?" He spoke up for the first time since the spanking.
"Yes, Johnny." She answered. Laura had stopped being angry long ago.
"Mistress Bianca and Yvette were very affectionate with each other." He observed.
"They have been together for a few years. They are very comfortable with each other." Laura remarked.
"I saw others play and kiss." He went on.
Laura sleepily looked over at him. "Were you jealous, that I didn't pet you?"
John tried to apologize and change the subject, thinking he was upsetting her.
"No, be open with me. Let's talk about this, I'm serious. Did you want to be petted?" she became animated and sat up in the seat.
"It felt appropriate and I felt left out, Mistress." He admitted sheepishly.
"I brought you there to show you off, Johnny." She looked out the side window away from him. "I guess to prove something." She paused as if deciding, "but I should have pet you."
John pondered what she said just now and what Bianca had said earlier, "You have gone to these things alone, Mistress?"
"A few times," it was many, her conscience reminded her. "I guess I hoped of someone bringing an extra," and she laughed loudly.
"Will we go next month, Mistress?" John asked.
"Would you like that, Johnny?" she threw back.
"I would, Mistress." he confessed.
"I'll pick you up at nine," she joked.
They got 6 hours of sleep. She made Johnny sleep in the extra bedroom on the twin bed. Sleeping with her was a huge prize that he was nowhere near. Before he left she pinned him against the front door and kissed him long and squeezed his butt. When she finished he had to catch his breath.
"Next time, I'll pet you and keep you right by me." She said softly caressing his cheek.
"Thank you, my Mistress."
John had to go home and stay dressed in front of his wife for a few days, never letting her see his welt covered butt and legs. His wife liked the lights out anyways, not that they had sex though.
Laura worked every day until Wednesday. She cleaned her living room and did some laundry and got some Chinese food. John came over as soon as the kids and wife went to the church for youth group. She kissed him and patted his cheek.
"I got bad news baby." She started. "Aunt Flo has arrived."
John was about to ask "whose Au..."
"Ugh, I got my period, Johnny." She said exasperated. Laura sat on the couch with a takeout container of Pork Lo Mein. "Bianca is coming over. She should be here any minute. Treat her just as you did at the group." Laura stated the obvious.
"Of course, Mistress." John sat at her feet on the floor.
Laura got the door for Bianca and hugged the taller black woman.
"Come in, come in." Laura greeted her and shut the door from the cold.
Johnny wasn't sure whether to stand or kneel. He moved into a kneeling position.
"Good evening, Mistress Bianca," he said. "Yvette didn't come with you?"
"She's at home," Bianca began "This is more of a...professional call."
"Bianca is a counseling psychologist," Laura supplied. "She is going to talk to us."
"A counseling psychologist?" John questioned.
Bianca smiled "I have a Masters, not a PhD" She explained "But I specialize in...well, us, for lack of a better term." Bianca sat on the couch "Your Mistress didn't tell you about this?" she looked down at John.
"No, Mistress Bianca, she did not." John said truthfully. Bianca looked at Laura accusingly, who was still standing.
"I don't mind though." John put in quickly.
"Still she should have discussed it with you. I'm sorry to spring this on you, I'd rather you be comfortable."
"I'm fine, Mistress Bianca, it's no problem" John could see Laura was a bit embarrassed from being dressed down by Bianca.
"OK, let's begin. Johnny..." Bianca started.
"With all due respect to you, Mistress Bianca," John interrupted her. "Only Mistress Laura calls me Johnny."
For a moment Laura looked as if she would kill him for speaking like that, but Bianca diffused the situation.
"No, no, calm down sweetie and come sit, you're making the poor boy nervous." Bianca smiled back to him, "So her calling you that is special to you?"
"No one has ever called me that, not even when I was a boy. I don't answer to it." John explained. "But when Mistress Laura uses it... it's just us, as if there is no one else in the world. I see it as a term of endearment, Mistress."
Bianca patted Laura's knee, "See sweetie, it's special to him." She turned back to John. "John, Laura has kind of snatched you away from your regular life and vanilla sex and thrust you into our world. I as Laura's personal friend would like to make sure you are OK and that she is OK. That's all."
"I understand, Mistress." John nodded.
"I guess first I should ask, what are your expectations, John, what do you wish to get out of this relationship?" Mistress Bianca had pulled out a yellow notepad and now gazed over at him.
"Well," he started slowly "when I went to that motel with her, I honestly thought it would just be sex, really hot sex." John looked over at Laura. "And it was hot but...it was more than sex."
"Go on. You're doing great." Bianca encouraged him.
