He left the message on my cell while I was in a meeting on Tuesday morning. "Hi Ashley, it's Jake. I'm at the airport, about to get on a plane - unexpected trip out of town for business this week. I won't be back until Saturday, but I'm looking forward to our next project. Check your mailbox when you get home this evening, I left you a note."
It was great to hear from him, but a disappointment to learn that we wouldn't get to spend any time together that week. After all, he had promised to take me to Victoria's Secret and help me pick out something new to replace the sexy bra and panties he had sliced from my skin with his work knife the weekend before. The rest of the workday dragged on, and traffic was horrible, as I could hardly wait to read the note he'd left for me. Maybe he'd left me information about where he'd be and when I could call; maybe some naughty thoughts to keep me company until we met again.
I practically ran up my front steps after parking my car, and fished through the junk mail and bills in my mailbox to find his note. It was a small envelope, sealed, with just my name handwritten on the outside. Wow, I thought to myself, how rare is a hand-written letter these days! Much as I wanted to rip it open and read it right there on my front porch, his gesture really deserved more thoughtful attention than that. I let myself in, set down my purse and pile of uninteresting mail, hung up my jacket, kicked off my shoes, and went into the kitchen to pour myself a glass of wine. As I came back into the living room, I paused for a moment to admire the newly-painted space, before sitting down on the sofa, taking a deep breath, and opening his letter.
"Dear Ashley,
So sorry that I had to go out of town this week, and break our date. I'm looking forward to helping you paint your bathroom on Saturday, and have some instructions which I hope you won't find too difficult to follow, to prepare for my arrival. If you do as I ask, I'm confident we can both enjoy a productive day."
I paused, smiled, and took a sip of wine. I loved this little game he had created for us - the line he was so confidently able to walk between master painter and, well, master. It was all so new to me, but also such an incredible turn-on, that I was happy to keep going down this road, exploring this newly-discovered side of my sexuality. I set down the glass of wine, and with that hand free, began to massage one of my breasts through the fabric of my suit as I went back to reading.
"I know you were looking forward to that visit to Victoria's Secret. Please do take care of that, and if possible, replace exactly what you were wearing the last time I saw you - the powder blue looks fabulous against your skin. But I want you to pick up something else as well.
When I arrive on Saturday - which will be at 11am sharp - you will be in the bathroom waiting for me. You will be wearing a sheer babydoll - I'll let you choose the color - with matching panties. Whatever color you choose, you will also get a silk tie to match. You won't forget to put your hair up in pigtails, like you know I like it. And you will have left the front door unlocked, so that I can easily get in.
You will have all the necessary tools ready with you in the bathroom: paint, of course, brushes and rollers, tape and stir sticks. Everything else that might get in the way should be out of the room, and out of my sight.
Most importantly, It's become very clear to me that you need to learn both patience and discipline. Therefore, I must ask you to refrain from pleasuring yourself between now and Saturday. I would recommend that you focus entirely on following my instructions, and making sure that all is as I've requested. I assure you, if you meet my expectations on Saturday, you will experience the utmost heights of pleasure, and the wait will have been worth it.
I certainly hope you don't have any questions, as I'm far too busy on my business trip to take time with that. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday,
Jake"
My hands fell to my sides and I sat silently, taking it in. He had earned my trust in our previous two encounters, so there was never any doubt that I would follow his instructions, and be ready for his return that Saturday. But somehow there was a little nervousness mixed in with the excitement that I'd felt in reading his words. The instructions weren't complicated, but seeing them in writing really hammered home the fact that I'd need to be sure to follow them to a 'T'. And then there was the time between now and Saturday morning - what would I do to keep myself busy, to keep my mind occupied, as I waited patiently for his return?
I mapped it out as I relaxed on the sofa and finished my first, and then a second, glass of wine. Work would be busy the rest of the week, so at least those hours would go quickly, with plenty of distractions to keep my mind off of Jake. Tomorrow evening I'd go by the mall and take care of the necessary purchases at Victoria's secret. Thursday I'd go out with friends for dinner and drinks after work and pour myself into bed late, with no energy to disobey Jake's request that I keep my hands off myself. Friday evening, I'd clean the house and prepare the bathroom just as he'd asked. And Saturday morning, I'd get up early and go for a long run, hoping to lose at least a little of my excess energy and nerves.
That first night proved to be the most difficult. My mind raced, as I imagined phrases from his letter as they'd sound in his voice, imagined his hands moving over my body, his big cock inside me once again, the punishment he would issue if I didn't follow each and every instruction. It was all I could do to keep from touching myself, held back only by the awareness that I wouldn't be able to cover up my weakness - if I gave in and pleasured myself, he'd be able to read it on my face.
**********
I arrived at Victoria's Secret the next evening just after 5, having snuck out of work a few minutes early. Being a Wednesday evening, there weren't many shoppers in the mall, and I had the full attention of Jessica, a hot young blonde who was happy to help me try on as many things as my heart desired. After debating with myself for a few minutes, I decided it would be exciting to share just enough information about my situation that Jessica could help me to her full ability.
"So, Jessica, let me tell you what I need. I have a date on Saturday, and the man in question has given me some very specific instructions for my attire. Let's just say that there could be some interesting consequences if I don't meet his demands."
"Ah, I see. So you want to follow his instructions carefully," she said with a wink, "but you won't necessarily mind if he decides a little discipline is in order?"
"I think you have an excellent understanding of the situation," I said with a giggle. "My name's Ashley, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Ashley. OK, then, what exactly are you looking for?"
I explained that I needed to replace my adorable powder blue ensemble that was, um, harmed in my last encounter with Jake. After we'd picked out the perfect replacement, I explained his current request, for the sheer babydoll and matching panties. She smiled when I mentioned that he'd let me pick out the color, and we made several trips to the dressing room, trying on first red, then black, then white, and finally settling on a lovely pale green that, according to Jessica, really brought out my eyes.
"Not everyone can pull off that color, Ashley, but with your gorgeous tan and green eyes, it's really a good look for you."
"Thanks, Jessica! I really appreciate your help. I'd better get going - a few more stops to make here at the mall before I head home."
"OK, I'll let you go, as long as you promise to come back next week and tell me how things went! I'm here every weekday evening. Oh, and assuming things go well, I'll be happy to help you with your next lingerie assignment!"
I giggled and assured her I'd keep that promise.
It was almost 7 by the time I left the shop. I made one more quick stop, at my favorite department store, to find the rest of what Jake had asked me to have ready. Luckily, I was able to find a beautiful silk tie in exactly the same shade of pale green as the babydoll I'd picked out. I began to imagine what he had in mind with this request, but quickly stopped myself, so I wouldn't get too excited. My last stop was in women's accessories, where I found some beaded hair ties that were also an excellent match, for holding my hair up in the pigtails he liked so much.
**********
Thursday dragged on at work, but my dinner with friends proved a wonderful distraction, and before I knew it, it was Friday. As I promised myself, I cleaned the house, wanting no distractions for Jake's discerning eye. My sleep was restless that night, but when I woke up to a glorious sunrise on Saturday morning, I eagerly set out for a run. My usual route was about 3 miles, circling around the neighborhood of well-kept bungalows, and this particular morning, I'm sure I set a personal best, nervous and eager as I was to get home in plenty of time to be ready.
Still in my workout clothes, I made a couple of trips to the basement, bringing all of the painting supplies into the bathroom, and setting them in an orderly pile in one corner. I then peeled off my sweaty clothes, tossed them in the hamper, and jumped in the shower. Once again, I had to fight the urge to touch myself, so excited was I at this point for what was coming in just under an hour. But once again, all it took to find my willpower was a reminder to myself that he'd be able to see the guilty pleasure on my face.
Once out of the shower, I dried myself off, and then used the towel to wipe off the mirror and dry the floor, before getting out the blow-dryer to work on my hair. A few minutes later, the bathroom gleaming, the wet towels in the hamper, and my hair dry and full of body, I was in my bedroom, pulling on the babydoll and matching panties, and then twisting my hair up into pigtails. It really was quite a sexy look, I thought to myself as I glanced in the mirror - I understood now why he'd requested the babydoll. I glanced at the clock, realized he'd be arriving any moment, and quickly returned to the bathroom, where I set down the silk tie and proceeded to wait.
**********
With no watch on my wrist and no clock in the bathroom, the few minutes of waiting before his arrival felt like an eternity. Who knows, maybe it would have been worse to watch a second hand tick away. Fortunately, I had complete trust that he would be on time, so just waited for the sound of the front door and his footsteps in the hall. I did have to realize that - while unlikely - it was possible anyone could have walked in that front door, finding me scantily clad, eagerly waiting in the bathroom. This thought only served to heighten my anticipation, and my heart was pounding by the time his footsteps approached.
I relaxed a bit when I recognized his voice, "Are you ready, Ashley?"
"Absolutely, please come in."
I smiled when he came around the corner into the room. He was looking cool and confident as always in his polo shirt and jeans. His eyes met mine only for a moment, before he proceeded to look me up and down, taking in the full view. I posed for him, twirling around, the lace of the babydoll brushing against my uppermost thigh, before facing him once more and asking, "So, up to your expectations?"
"Oh, yes, Ashley. And I must say, nice choice on the color. Really brings out your eyes. So, shall we get to work?"
"I'm ready if you are," I replied as suggestively as possible.
"Turn around, please."
I turned so that my back was facing him.
"Give me your hands."
I reached both hands behind my back. As I did so, he picked up the green silk tie, and quickly used it to secure my hands. The fabric was cool and comfortable against my skin, but his knot was firm, and there was no way I'd be able to get my hands free without his permission.
"Now, you've done a very nice job of preparing all of the supplies, but I notice something is missing."
