This is a slow roll, but there are some delicious discussions to set the scene. There will be more sexual play in Part 2

Part 1 - Negotiation
My Mistress had told me to be there early and instead I was five minutes late which made me sweaty and annoyed at myself. My phone showed 2:05 pm. FUCK.
In my defense, I couldn't find a place to park my bike outside of the loft building and had to ride around to find a nearby bakery where they had the most amazing smelling scones. I'm going to have to get some of those because damn those things smelled good. Something almond and white chocolate. Whatever. It looked delicious. Then when I got into the building I got so turned around by the numbers on the second floor. And then...
I'm making excuses. The truth is, I was late. She had asked me to be on time to meet him and I had failed her.
I made it to 232, it had a large door rolling door that was slightly ajar. I took a deep breath, settled myself and knocked. No answer. But I could hear classical music playing which made me think it would be hard for him to hear. So knocked again trying to be louder. Still no response. At the third knock, I peeked through the door and pushed it slightly saying "Hello?"
The music quieted and I saw a man's face pop out of the doorway of what looked to be a kitchen area in the back right corner of the loft. He was wiping his hands on a towel and wearing an apron.
"Ahh. You're here." He glanced at the clock. "Welcome, please come in." He stayed in the kitchen area, seemingly taking off his apron, I could hear him moving things around. "Please come in and take your shoes off."
I slipped off my sandals and put them neatly next to the door. My palms were sweating.
He emerged from the kitchen area with a tray bearing a teapot and some cookies and set it on the table between the front door and the kitchen. "Shut the door if you would please. Wouldn't want the kitten to get out."
He was a good looking man, if you go for that sort of thing. He had sandy hair and wide open, inquisitive eyes that seemed to catch everything. He wasn't tall, but he was physically fit with a toned body and a calm demeanor.
"I'm sure you know that you are a few minutes late. But you are here." He looked me up and down and I was immediately flustered.
"I'm really sorry Sir, I'm really. I am sorry. It won't happen again. I got turned around and... I'm... I am sorry..."
He crooked his head as I stammered and waited for me to finish while continuing to look me over.
"I accept your apology. Generally speaking I do not like tardiness. But I appreciate your contrition." He smiled.
"Take off your jacket and put down your bag, there are hooks to the side of the door. You can take your shoes off and leave them in the rack. Then we'll have tea." I was wearing a modest T-shirt dress with a chunky scarf and a jean jacket and I was feeling pretty good about my look for the day. It felt comfortable sexy.
As I hung my things up, I noticed a neat area to the left of the door with tools and shop tables lined up. It looked like an art studio, but without paintings, just wooden things. The air smelled faintly of sawdust and oil. To the far end, there was a shag carpet and old fashioned couch and chair set with a mess of blankets on top. To the side of that was what looked like an entrance to a bedroom.
"I'd give you the tour, but you can see most of it from where you are." He said watching me with a smile as I looked around.
I bit my lip. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be nosy" I walked to the table.
"Nothing to worry about. Please be seated. Let me get you some peppermint tea." He said pouring from the teapot into a mug in front of me. "Would you like sugar?"
