I felt the gentle touch of your hand on the inside of my elbow, and instantly smiled. It was our signal, and it always pleases me to see you remember your training so very well. you were telling me in the most nondescript of ways that you were there at your master's side. Standing just behind me, and waiting for the answering gesture of me pulling you into the small group of friends ... as I readily did on this and every other occasion.
I take the opportunity to cast a very approving glance over you. I have always found you beautiful, but tonight you are stunning in a simple black dress, and a simple solid silver necklace. The others in the group are equally enchanted by your looks and shy smile. One of the ladies is somewhat enthralled by your necklace, and reaches tentatively to touch it, and is startled as you shrink away from that touch. I smile softly and gently explain that the necklace has extreme sentimental value, and you are very protective of it.
you smile quickly and confirm my story. Stating that it was a gift from me, and more than any other thing came to symbolize our relationship. The woman smiled warmly and asked if it meant more than the ring on your hand. you smiled again, and told her very much so. The necklace came long before the ring, and was much more of a symbolic commitment than the ring was. Although the woman seemed surprised, she asked no more, but stole glances at the necklace throughout the night.
It is but a necklace to them, so very much more to us. It is the penultimate symbol making you mine, your collar. I remember every detail of the ceremony placing it on your neck. The finality of that decision, I have but one collar to give, and only one submissive to offer it to ... ever. It remains yet one of the happiest days of my life.
The remembrance of all this beckons me to lean over and whisper huskily into your ear, "I want you little one." I can both see and sense the shiver that runs through you as the words have the desired effect. I love seeing you struggle to answer in such an open situation, with you knowing full well it was one of the reasons I did it. Turning your head to mine, you bite your lower lip and nod slightly. The elegant answer pleases me immensely, and warms me in so many ways. Pulling you to me gently, I whisper to you that we will be on our way soon enough ...
I see your body shudder again, an effect that did not go unnoticed by some of the members of the group. Nor did they miss the wonderful flush that crept up your neck and face. I love watching this flush of pleasure, pleasure from the moment, pleasure at thought for the future. I play my hand along the tender skin of your spine, growling into your ear to be good.
I see you glance again over to the woman with questions on your collar and fix your eyes on her as you struggle to control your breathing. Following your eyes with my own, I look at the woman you are fixed on. I am surprised to see her struggling herself. She is clearly flustered at her own reactions, She is somewhat flushed, and her breathing is ragged. Nobody else has noticed either of you at this point. Her eyes pan over to mine and there is a little confusion in her eyes.
I smile slightly, and excuse you and I from the little group. I laughed quietly to you, chiding you for torturing the poor woman. you smiled up to me the very picture of innocence, wondering of what nonsense your master was speaking. Raising my eyebrow, I look at you. Allowing my voice to drop a little, close to command voice but not quite, posing questions whispered gently into your ear. "you had no idea she had submissive leanings little one? you only randomly looked at her as you struggled to get control." Allowing my smile to grow, you know the power of our lifestyle little one, and you enjoyed that.
Now, I see the struggle in your own mind, trying to determine if you did do this consciously or not. I know it could never have been done consciously, no matter how much I tease you of it. you have never been a cruel person, and you abhor those that are. So cruelty was never your intent. However, could you have subconsciously been calling out to a sister? Feeling her reaction to you ... I smile warmly as I see the possibility flit across your mind. The potential that this could happen in such a non-D/s environment is a bit startling.
Keeping my voice low and close to your ear, I tell you it is time for us to go. We make a quick polite round of goodbyes and head for our car. Again I am struck on how very beautiful you are. There is a deep set sense of contentment about you now, secure in the knowledge that we are as we should be on so many levels.
As we exit the house, I open up my overcoat and pull you close, wrapping my coat around both of us. Kissing you deeply, I whisper how proud I've been of you tonight. Then pitching my voice a bit lower, I tell you to reach inside my inside left coat pocket and take out what is there.
