Chapter 01: ReBoot
I had been waiting for Linda's response to my email for a little over a day not, which was unusual for her - she usually responds to emails rather quickly. However, I knew she had plans that day with her younger daughter's, girl scout troop and probably came home tired. So, to kill the time I puttered around my house, cleaning, and doing a few other chores. It wasn't until about 11 am that I received her response. The email I had sent her earlier was simple, telling her that I was confused between wanting a normal relationship, trying relationship with men (I am bi), or being submissive to her. I wanted to feel out her response to see if she was receptive to once again taking me on as her submissive. The problem was that I think we had missed our window of opportunity. Not only was her younger daughter home after visiting her father for the summer, but her older daughter, 24, had moved in with her as well. Not exactly conducive to some "adult" play time.
The response came in the form of a text. If you want to serve me, report to my place at 2 pm.
What about your girls?
They are both gone for the day.
The three hours before leaving for her house found me both excited and nervous. We had traveled this road before and I've always backed out. I wasn't sure why - something just didn't feel right. But it wasn't long before I began to regret my decision and long for complete submission. We had talked, bought and read books, scoured the Internet but could not find any answers. However, we were both compelled to the lifestyle and neither of us had quite given up on it.
Linda is actually the ideal candidate for a domme. While I won't say she is lazy, she definitely doesn't like to do household chores and would rather be playing on Facebook, spending time with her girls or friends, working late, or helping out with girl scouts; all of which were factors in our divorce two years ago before either of us even consideration a dominant/submissive relationship. She also liked to keep men on a tight leash and expected deference to her femininity.
I was the first to suggest the femdom lifestyle a year after our divorce. We both wanted to try to work things out again as we were both very much in love with one another. I stumbled across a site, "Venus on Top" while completing a survey about relationships. What I read intrigued me. If I could only learn to submit, and if Linda were to take the dominant role, another relationship could work.
She was hesitant at first and it was about a year before she came around to trying it. Our first attempt went well and lasted for about a month, I slipped well into submissive role, and her into dominant role, but then my past caught up with me and I had to deal with a personal issue that I had created three months earlier. It killed the mood. We tried to restart that relationship, but to no avail. We were both being very cautious. I sent her that email on the one year anniversary of our first attempt, hoping that we could agree to take one more shot together.
The time came and went and nervously, I made the 10 minute trip out to Linda's. Before I arrived I received a text telling me to let myself in and look for a bag. In the bag would be a note. I was to follow the directions in the note.
I arrived at her house on time and found the bag. I opened it up and read the note.
I am very pleased that you have arrived to serve me. Things are going to be very different this time. In this bag you will find a collar and nothing more. I want you to remove your clothes, place them in the bag, and bring them to me. I will be upstairs in the computer room.
As instructed, I removed my clothes, put them in the bag, and attached the collar. I walked upstairs and entered the computer room. On the way up I noticed the condition of the townhouse. It was a mess. Daughters were like mothers, none of them liked to clean - or pick up after themselves.
"I'm here." I announced.
Linda continued to work at her PC. When she was done typing she turned around. "Rule number one. When entering my presence you are to kneel and wait for me to acknowledge you. I know you're here I'm not an idiot. Now go back and try it again."
I paused, not sure what to do.
"Now."
I walked back downstairs and then back up, this time entering the computer room and kneeling, awaiting her response.
"I can here you breath, try it again."
I obeyed and for the first three times she found something wrong with my entry. It was the fourth time that she finished typing, turned, and told me, "very good, now hand me the bag."
I complied and she took it from my hands.
"Wait here until I return." She rose, wearing a pair of loose fitting sweatpants and t-shirts. Nothing spectacular, but it was enough for me to see her voluptuous figure underneath. I heard her leave the house and then return after a few minutes. Last time we tried this she stepped out for a while to go to the gym and while she was gone I got cold feet, got dressed, and left. She was going to ensure that didn't happen again.
She looked down at me and I looked up at her. I was still kneeling. "Rule number two, when you are in my presence in submissive mode you are to look down unless I tell you otherwise. Understand?"
