Master J,
It is strange that after all this time, I will, at last, see you again. Once again, I will kneel before you, seeking your guidance into this strange world. Yet as long as it has been, every second of our last encounter is etched permanently in my mind. Those few moments serve to define who I am underneath the trappings of the this day-to-day existence leaving me no choice but to acknowledge the part of me so carefully hidden from even myself.
Every remembered moment leaves me aching to travel further down this dark and mysterious path with you. Enticed as much by my fear as my desire, I find myself begging you to lead me to this hidden place, even though I am aware of the danger of finding myself… and losing myself. This endeavor that I had once naively considered a game, is now undeniably real as the forces that draw me to you.
Ah, but this is not what you have commanded of me. On these pages I am to describe a scene. Is it a fantasy you require, my master? Or is it a glimpse of yourself through the images of my darkest desire?
I close the door. I expect to be alone, yet I stand scanning the room for signs of you. There are none, save the blindfold you have placed on the table. In spite of it’s size, the sight of it dominates the room, and my thoughts. The temptation to reach for the door is great, but cannot override the curiosity and the force of your voice that echos within me.
I step away from the door, abandoning thoughts of escape. I notice my fingers are shaking as I slowly unfasten the buttons of my blouse. I ward off the panicked thoughts by concentrating on each of your instructions. I fold my blouse and set it on the chair, then step out of my skirt. The heat rising within me counteracts the chill of the air on my skin.
I focus my mind intently on each task, until at last, I have fastened the blindfold tightly over my eyes. Plunged into darkness, my fear mounts as I sink to my knees.
What if my Master does not arrive? What if he is not alone? What If… I struggle to staunch the flow of increasingly frightening scenarios that play in my head, as I wait facing the door that at once represents my freedom and my captivity.
The soft click of the door instantly suspends all thoughts. I fight to hear each small sound over the pounding of my heart. Scarcely aware that my fingernails are digging into my thighs, I kneel with my head bowed in frozen submission to you. Every sense is now focused on your presence. Here in the darkness behind the blindfold, I feel both isolated, yet surrounded by you.
I listen intently to the sound of your breathing as if somehow it will tell me what your silence does not. Cool leather encircles my throat, followed by a metallic click locking your collar in place, once again claiming me as your property.
Your soft, firm voice breaks the silence between us.
“Put you hands behind your back.” I do as you command, strangely relieved to now be able to take some action, even if it is only to surrender my last illusions of safety.
I feel cold steel enclose around one wrist and then the other. There is a short but eternal pause.
“Stand.” As I move to obey, I wonder if my legs, now curiously weak, will support me.
I hear the metallic ratcheting sound as you similarly bind my ankles. I instantly recall your instructions as if you told me only yesterday. Remembering the punishment I would receive should the chain that now tethers my ankles touch the floor, I quickly adjust my stance stretching the chain taut.
I stand reeling from this terrifying sensation of complete vulnerability, and await your instructions. Instead, I hear the soft rustling of paper, and I envision you quietly reading the pages I have placed on the table for you. I feel the heat rising to my face. I am as afraid that the words I have written will not please you, as I am afraid that you may choose to act out the dark scene I have so carefully crafted for you pleasure.
Finally, I hear a drawer slide open, then closed. Pain pierces me, I bite my lip to keep from crying out as you capture each nipple jaws of a tiny steel clamp.
