Grace stood and straightened her dress. She walked back to the front door and grabbed her coat, purse and keys. "Thank you, my pet. See you soon." With that, she walked out the door.
Grace had planned this evening far in advance. She wanted to give Marc his every fantasy, even those he wasn't sure about. She didn't make a habit of staying in touch with previous subs but on occasion would check back in with them. Anthony was one of her better sub relationships over the years but that had parted ways more than 2 years ago. She thought he may be up for something a little different so a week earlier, she called him and asked if he would sub for her in front of another sub. He agreed after they clarified a few ground rules.
She drove to the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet, only about 10 minutes from her house. She didn't want to leave Marc too long with his thoughts. She adjusted her hair and lipstick before going inside. He was already seated at a table when she walked in.
"Hello Anthony," she said and leaned down to kiss his cheek.
He blushed and murmured a hello back.
"Can I get you anything," she offered.
"No thank you mistress," he replied softly.
She sat down and took her coat off. She watched as his eyes followed the movement. "How are you feeling?"
"Excited. Nervous." He responded immediately.
"That sounds about right," Grace said with a smile. "My focus will be on you this evening. He will be furniture for most of the session, unless you are open to something else. He's been instructed only to speak if he has guidance for you but he will not command you or direct you. Only I will. Do you have any questions or concerns?"
"If he's more than furniture, what would that mean?" He asked.
"Thank you for asking what's on your mind," Grace replied. "I could incorporate him in the scene in small ways. Asking him to tell you how to please me differently. Or even being involved with you directly. It's up to you."
"Whatever you think is best. You know my limits," Anthony responded. She nodded thoughtfully.
"Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yes mistress," he responded confidently.
She stood and he followed suit, reaching for her coat to help her into it.
"Thank you Anthony."
She turned and exited the cafe. He was close on her heels. He followed her to her car and opened the door for her.
"Thank you," she said as she got into her car. "Please get into the passenger seat."
He nodded and closed her door. Once he had joined her in the car, she watched him for a minute. His breathing was shorter than she would like. "Take a deep breath," she commanded. She watched as he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, slowly exhaling like she had taught him. "Stay with your breath. Focus on grounding. I'll take care of you tonight. You are not in any danger. If you need to, we can stop at any time. Are you okay?"
"Yes mistress," he said, breathing more evenly.
"Give me your hand," she said softly. He held out his left palm and she took it and placed it on her right thigh. "This should help you stay grounded. And keep breathing."
He nodded. "Do you need anything else?" She asked. He shook his head. "Okay, let's go then."
