It was getting close to 5 pm on Friday afternoon and I was in the process of packing up my desk to sneak out a little early when Rhonda, the head of the Marketing Department, stopped by my office.
"I was just talking with Brian and he mentioned that he put you in charge of the Harrisburg Project", said Rhonda.
"Yes, I will be the Project Leader," I replied. Brian is my department head, my boss.
"I have assigned Meredith to represent Marketing on your team. She will have access to all the data and other information the team will need from my department. She is young and new with the company but a real go getter and will be a good attribute to the team as a whole." Rhonda said, "I just wanted to stop by and let you know, I told her to contact you on Monday so you could bring her update on everything. Well then, looks like you are getting ready to head out, have a nice weekend," she said as she left.
Rhonda was few years younger than me, but had started working for the company several years before me and moved very quickly up the ranks to become the youngest department head. We have had the opportunity to work together often and I frequently saw her working out in the company gym during our lunch hour when I was also there. She always seemed friendly and would often ask me about how I was doing or if I needed anything to just ask.
After Rhonda left, I headed out of the building. The Red Room Lounge was just around the corner from my office building. I was a little worried that some of my coworkers would see me there because I had heard it was a frequent Friday drinks after work kind of place for many of them.
Entering the place, I looked around for David and didn't see him there yet. I ordered a vodka cranberry from the bar then went to a back booth to wait for him. After almost an hour and on my second vodka cranberry I saw him walk in and come over to my table.
"Hi," I said as he approached, "I was just beginning to wonder."
As he get nearer he replied," I am very glad to see you here. I was hoping that you wanted to continue with the development of our relationship. I see a lot of potential in you as a very promising submissive."
"Yes," I replied, "I am looking very forward to seeing this through, but I do still have some reservations about the whole thing."
"How has your research been going?"
"Really good, I am learning a lot. It is helping me a lot. But, there is still very much more to this lifestyle than I ever imagined. I am not sure I am ready to surrender myself fully to another individual. "
"Before we go any further let me tell you some of what I am looking for and see if that helps ease your mind over any or all of this."
"Yes, I think that would be a really big help."
"I got in this lifestyle shortly after I met the woman that I would eventually become my first wife. She was already involved with the lifestyle. We started going to some BDSM clubs and other events and started to really get into it whole lot. We were both dominating personalities and liked to control a submissive together. Eventually we even had a live in 24/7 slave in our home for many years."
"You had a live in slave?" I asked.
"Yes, she was a young girl in college, but continued to stay with us long after she graduated."
"The problem was with my wife and I both being dominate it just did not work out in the end. Two dominates is never a good idea for a long term relationship. When we divorced my wife moved her practice to LA. She got the submissive; I got the house in the settlement."
"Your ex-wife was a lawyer like you?" I asked.
"No, she is a Doctor, eye surgeon"
"So that is why you are looking for a new submissive?" I asked.
"Yes and I wanted to find someone closer to my own age that I would have more in common with. Don't get me wrong I very much enjoy this lifestyle but I don't want a 24/7 live in slave, at least not at this point in time."
"That is very good for me to know," I started to say, "Because as I have mentioned I still have a daughter at home and I enjoy very much being her mother and I don't want to change anything that will have an effect on that."
"From the outside," David began saying, "I want our relationship to appear normal. Does the term vanilla mean anything to you?"
"Yes" I replied, "It is how those in the lifestyle refer to those who are not."
"Exactly," he said, "That is how I want our relationship to look like to everyone outside of a very select few who I will eventually introduce you to."
"Ok"
"That was what most of our second encounter was all about. I wanted to see if the two of us could go out on a normal date and enjoy each other's company, but that you would and could instantly obey my commands when given one. Is that understood?"
"Yes, I see where you are going with this. You want a lady to show off in public. But a total submissive in private that will do anything she is told to do," I said nodding my head in agreement.
"Is what I am asking acceptable to you?" he finally asked.
After a brief hesitation, "Yes, very much so," I said realizing my dream of becoming a submissive was finally about to happen.
"Then I have your first tasks as my submissive to give you. First, I want you to email me by no later than midnight Sunday a Declaration of your Submission to me including any and all limitations. Second, with a digital camera, not your phone, starting with a blank memory card I want you to take several photos of yourself wearing all pairs of matching bras and panties and all other pieces of lingerie that you own. I also want several fully nude photographs showing your entire body and face in each one. Then I want you to take close up pictures of your pubic area before and after you have shaved all the hair from around the area. Follow these up with several more fully nude photos in which your newly shaved pussy is clearly on display. Third, up until now I have permitted you to give yourself one orgasm before going to sleep each night. That privilege is now revoked. You are not allowed to have any orgasms without first asking for my expressed permission. Do you understand all of these tasks and instructions?"
Without having to think twice about it, I replied, "Yes Master."
