Alayna waited dutifully kneeling on the tile floor in Joe's foyer engulfed in confusion. Her eyes were downcast with her arms tightly at her side. Her confusion stemmed from her wardrobe. On Sundays when Alayna came over she would open the closet closest to the front door and put on whatever Joe had left in there for her. Typically that would mean a pair of high heels and not much else. For whatever reason today Alayna knelt bare foot and was wearing a green two piece bikini, a white sleeveless blouse tied just below her ribs and a pair of snug fitting denim shorts. This wasn't exactly what Alayna had in mind for a day of submissive sex with Joe.
Images of Pavlov's dog came into Alayna's mind as she heard Joe approaching. Instantly her mouth began to water and she imagined the feeling and taste of Joe's cock in her mouth. She loved his cock and enjoyed being his "favorite little cock sucker".
"Good morning Alayna." Michael said as he rounded the corner.
Alayna wondered if she were trapped in some sort of nightmare. She knew she was in Joe's house. What in the hell was Michael doing there?
"Good morning Michael." Alayna replied unsteadily.
Michael walked close to Alayna as he passed by. She braced for his touch but felt nothing.
"Thank you for coming over Michael," Joe said as he walked into the foyer, "I'll talk to you again soon."
"I look forward to it." Michael said from somewhere behind Alayna.
Alayna heard the door close behind her wondering if Michael were actually gone. She felt a light touch on her right arm gently lifting her. Alayna looked up to see Joe smiling down at her.
"Sorry," Joe said as Alayna got onto her feet, "I had to deal with a little business. I was hoping he would be gone before you got here."
"Business?" Alayna asked wondering if it was her boss at work talking business or a member talking business.
"It seems Michael allowed one of the women to walk home wearing nothing but pink body paint," Joe said looking Alayna in the eyes, "with a pig's snout, ears and tail." Joe wrapped his arms around Alayna hugging her tightly. "And with 2 people in the compound at the time delivering food I certainly can not have someone embarrassed like that."
Alayna hugged Joe back burying her face in his chest. As she hugged him Alayna noticed that Joe was also dressed more than normal as well. He wore a pair of denim carpenter shorts and an untucked collared casual shirt with socks and sneakers. She wanted to ask but knew that it wasn't her place to do so. So she waited for him.
"You've probably noticed," Joe started to say as he leaned back, "but we are doing something just a bit different today."
"I like different." Alayna said grinning wickedly back at him.
"I know you do," Joe said cupping and squeezing Alayna's butt with his right hand, "but today I need your help decorating a room."
"Decorating a room?" Alayna asked wondering if that meant she'd be suspended from a wall.
"Yup, we are going to a small furniture store I use from time to time," Joe said finally breaking their hug, "and you're going to help me pick out some things."
"That sounds fun." Alayna said amazed that she actually meant it as much as she did.
"But first you need something to put on your feet." Joe said looking down at Alayna's bare feet and pale pink painted toenails.
Alayna imagined that she would be wearing some low to mid heeled sandal and hoped it wouldn't be high heels with the denim short shorts.
"I have the perfect thing," Joe said walking to a nearby curio cabinet and opening a drawer, "these should fit nicely."
Alayna was shocked! Joe was holding a pair of white flip flops with decorative rhinestones on the straps. She knew Joe liked her better in high heels, he told her on more than one occasion that he loved how they enhanced the curve of her legs, flip flops were the last thing she expected to see. Since coming to the compound Alayna hadn't seen any of the other women wearing flip flops. Even sneakers were frowned upon unless you were actually exercising!
"You are full of surprises today." Alayna said unable to contain her surprise.
"Oh you have no idea." Joe said handing her the flip flops.
Alayna quickly slipped them on following Joe to the front door. The two of them climbed into Joe's Jaguar convertible and were on their way. Alayna slipped off her flip flops and let her bare feet rub against the floor mats of the car; she was amazed how soft they were for floor mats. It seemed to be so natural sitting in his car like this. Joe reached over and took Alayna's left hand from her lap and held it in his hand on the arm rest. Alayna was astonished how such a little gesture could mean so much to her. She truly felt connected with him
About 45 minutes later they pulled into a parking lot in an old mill complex. The large brick buildings which decades ago used to house a saw mill was now full of office space and stores. Alayna and Joe walked into a custom furniture store hand in hand.
"Can I help you?" A young casually dressed salesman asked.
"Is Bernie here?" Joe replied, "He's expecting me."
"Yes sir, he's out back I'll get him for you." The salesman quickly hustled away.
If finally dawned on Alayna that she had no idea what room they would be picking out furniture for. Joe hadn't mentioned it and she never asked.
"Joe, what room are you redecorating?" Alayna whispered.
"I'm having a special room put in downstairs," Joe responded, "and Bernie is a specialist when it comes to these things."
"A special room?" Alayna asked.
"Yes darling," Joe replied with a wink, "a room both you and I can enjoy."
Alayna felt both her arms cover with goose bumps at his mention of 'darling'. She wanted to ask more but was interrupted by a short older man wearing a brown leather apron.
"Good morning Joe," the older man said extending his very firm hand, "it's a pleasure to see you again."
"Good morning Bernie," Joe replied, "it's nice to see you too."
"And you must be Alayna," Bernie said taking Alayna's hand in his, "a true pleasure to meet you as well my dear."
"Thank you Bernie." Alayna replied blushing slightly.
Alayna was amazed by Bernie. He was easily an inch or so shorter than her with a halo of white hair. His hands were massive and muscular obviously from spending his life making a living with them. He wore a long sleeve plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a plume of white chest hair peeking through the top. His jeans were dusty and dirty but there was a sparkle in his eye of a man half his age. He had a grandfatherly look about him which made Alayna question what this special room was.
"Please if you would both follow me." Bernie said taking Alayna by the arm and walking towards the back of the store. "Jonathan don't worry," Bernie called back to the salesman, "I'll take care of these wonderful people."
They entered Bernie's workshop where various pieces of furniture were in different stages of construction. Even with all of those pieces the workshop was clean and very organized, Bernie was obviously a perfectionist and very detail oriented from the looks of his workspace. He led them around a corner to a large sliding steel door left over from the original mill. Bernie unlocked the door and slid it open letting his guests walk in. The room darkened as Bernie closed the door behind them. Slowly the lights came up in the room shining down on some of the most amazing dungeon and bondage furniture Alayna had ever set her eyes on! These weren't crude 2x4's covered in padding, these pieces were smooth finished and stained works of art. Alayna felt her entire body tremble with excitement as she thought of the possibilities in setting up a play room with Joe!
"Do you have anything in mind already?" Bernie asked from behind her.
"Actually Bernie I do have at least 2 pieces I would like to see." Joe replied moving his way casually through the pieces. "First would be a saw horse with knee and elbow rests."
"I have one right over here for you to look at." Bernie replied excitedly. "I think you will find it very suitable to your needs."
Alayna stood transfixed. The man who only moments ago seemed like a beardless Santa was a maker of fine bondage furniture. Joe and Bernie made their way to a corner of the shop/ showroom as Alayna stood in wide eyed amazement. They were halfway across the large room before Alayna realized they had even moved. She headed quickly in the same direction as them. The two men were standing in a corner discussing the piece of furniture there. The piece they were looking at was set in a mirrored corner.
"What do you think?" Joe asked looking at Alayna.
"That looks beautiful." Alayna answered.
