After a long, hot shower during which I shaved, I went to the kitchen and fixed myself a sandwich and sliced some fruit. I prepared a second plate for Karen, knowing that she would probably be hungry when she woke up. I sat down at my laptop in my office and tried to get some work done while she slept.
The operative word is tried. My mind kept wandering to Karen. I couldn't help but wonder if this weekend was just a fling for her or was she looking for more. I decided on a game plan to discover which was the case, and how to take this relationship forward. I also knew that I would have to have a discussion with Greg about this as well to make sure he was cool with it and to get his input as well.
I managed to get a couple of hours work done and looked outside and noticed the shadows were starting to get long. I thought I should probably go check on Karen. She was just beginning to stir when I walked in.
I sat down on the bed next to her and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Good, really good," she said, smiling. "I'm sore too, but in a good way, you know what I mean?"
"Yea, I know, like the soreness brings back a lot of good memories?" I asked.
"That's exactly what I meant; I just couldn't put the words together. I guess I'm still a little fuzzy headed. "What happened anyway?"
"You passed out when you came and I let you sleep," I said.
"Ohhh yea... when I came... what a cum it was," she said, a broad smile across her face. "I didn't know I was capable of cumming that hard. What I can remember of it anyway. There are a lot of things that are pretty fuzzy about what happened."
I giggled and said, "Yea, you were in sub space most of the time. That's not unusual. You probably don't even remember me talking to you. You were pretty much out of it."
"Hmmm, sub space huh? I've read about it but I sorta thought it was like a fairy tale or something."
"Well, I think you found out first hand that's it's a bit more than a fairy tale," I said.
"I guess so," she said, thoughtfully.
"We can talk later, you must me hungry. Come on, I fixed you something. I think you could use a shower first," I said.
I ushered her into the bathroom and got her into the shower. I went to get her lunch from the refrigerator and got something to wash it down.
I met a still slightly wet Karen in the living room and put her plate and drink in front of her. She thanked me and dove in like she hadn't eaten in a week. I couldn't help but envy her youthful metabolism that allowed her to eat like that.
After she had finished she snuggled up next to me, her head on my shoulder. I thought the time was right for a chat and said, "Would you like to talk about a few things?"
"Yea, I guess so, like what?" she asked.
"Well, I was just wondering about what you thought about everything you had experienced in the last couple of days, and about me," I replied.
"OK, I think that would be a good idea," Karen said.
"I know it's still early but I mainly just wanted to know if this was just a fling for you, or are you looking for more than that. Is that something that you have even thought about?" I asked.
"Yes, I have given it a lot of thought, as a matter of fact," she said in a way that made me think that she was ready for the question.
"Would you like to share those thoughts with me," prompting her to carry on with a conversation while at the same time allowing her to stay within her comfort zone.
"Lori, I feel like I have found out a lot about myself in these few hours that we have spent together. I don't just mean the sex, although I have no complaints about the sex. The sex has been better than I ever thought possible," she said.
"OK, please go on," I said, realizing she had a lot more to say to me.
"What I think I have discovered is that I have genuine attraction to women. To be honest, when I came here I was curious but now that curiosity has been satisfied and now I know I am at least bisexual. I have found that being with a woman not only satisfies a large part of my sexuality but a large part of my emotional needs as well. I don't know how all this will affect my attitude towards men, but I feel like I have plenty of time to figure that out for myself," she said, stopping to take a breath and gather her thoughts before continuing.
I knew she was considering what to say next. I waited patiently while she did so. My arm was draped across her shoulders and I slowly caressed her silky hair and soft skin as she thought about where to go next with this conversation.
"I don't think I'm telling you anything new when I say that I have discovered the submissive side of my sexuality. I think you probably saw that side of me before I really had any clue about it. It's like a door that I didn't even know existed has been opened for me. It's like a lot of things that I have felt, but didn't really understand, have all come into sharp focus because of what you have shared with me. For that, and so many other things, I would like to thank you," she said.
"You are more than welcome sweetie. It was my pleasure to show you that side of yourself. When I say my pleasure, I mean it, literally," I said with a bit of a giggle.
She went on, "Obviously, I'm more than anxious to continue exploring these new facets to my sexuality."
"I think that would be a very good idea," I said.
"The main question I have is what part you will have in that exploration," she stated.
"What part do you want me to play?" I asked.
"Well...," she said, hesitating, "I have very strong feeling for you Lori, or should I call you Ma'am?"
"Lori is fine for now. Please go on," I said.
"Well... like I said, I have very strong feeling for you. To be honest, I don't know if that is because of the intensity of what I have experienced in the last couple of days, or because there is more there. I know I have fallen in lust with you, but I realize that I shouldn't make any assumptions on there being more than that between us," she said, turning and looking deeply in my eyes.
I saw that it took a lot for her to say that to me and I let her gather her thoughts for a minute. I was also digesting what she had said as well. I was somewhat impressed with her maturity of her words. She was definitely mature enough to understand that lust and love were two things that were easily confused in the heat of passion, especially in young adults like her. I knew that I had been guilty of that on a few occasions in my life. Fortunately, I had never made any serious life changing mistakes as a result of it. I knew that many people couldn't say the same thing, especially at her age.
What she had said made me consider my own feelings for Karen as well. Yes, I did like her. Yes, I did lust for her. Yes, her emerging sexuality did excite me. Yes, I was turned on by the idea of being the teacher of such a sexy young woman. On the other hand, I couldn't help but wonder how she would fit into the other parts of my life. There was my career, my family, and my relationship with Greg. How would a relationship with Karen, if I could dare call what we might have a relationship, fit into all that.
I finally realized that all these issues could be put onto a back burner. Nothing had to be settled now. This was just a time for us to share how we felt about each other and maybe make a few decisions of where we needed to go in the short term.
Karen built up a fresh head of steam and charged on. I liked that about her.
"I know that you have a full life already, and I'm just not sure how I would fit into that. Of course that assumes you share any of the same feelings I do. I may be assuming too much," she said. It was like she had been reading my thoughts.
"Karen, I do like you a lot, and a lot of the things you have said were thoughts that I have had myself, at least from my own perspective. I share most of your concerns as well. I will say that I am happy that you are able to recognize these issues. It shows a lot of maturity for someone your age. I also realize that we may be jumping the gun in trying to make decisions right now. Like you said, it's still early in our relationship, and yes I think it is the beginning of a relationship. Lets just take it one day at a time and we will go from there, OK?"
"OK, that sounds good to me. I'm just so happy that you don't just look at this as a fling. I do want you to be a part of life, however that works out. I know that I am in a situation where I will have to be happy with whatever I can get from you," she said, a tone of almost melancholy permeating her voice.
"Lori... sweetheart, you should never have to settle for anything. You are a beautiful young woman, an exciting lover; you have such a refreshing attitude towards exploring your sexuality, and have the potential to be a wonderful sub to some lucky Dom. Whoever is lucky enough to be a part of your life will come away from it better off for having you in their life. At this point, I don't know whether we will end up as lovers, a Domme/sub couple, in a triad relationship with Greg, or just friends; but I do know that I want you in my life to some degree or another."
It was if a lot of tension drained from her like a balloon deflating as she listened to my words. I'm sure Karen had been prepared for the worst.
"We don't have to decide anything today. We'll work out some plans on where we will go from here tomorrow. Does that sound good to you?" I asked.
"Yea, that sounds good to me," she replied.
"What do you think about hopping into the hot tub and relaxing for a while?" I asked.
"That sounds great, let's go."
"You go ahead, I'll get us a glass of wine, get us some towels, OK?" I said.
"OK, see you there," Karen replied.
I had poured two glasses of wine and arrived at the hot tub. Karen had still not arrived and I wondered why. She arrived a few minutes later.
"I had to pee and saw the plug in the bathroom and decided to put it back in. Is that alright?" she asked.
