It was a cold evening. The pavement was wet where it had been raining, though happily it had stopped now. My shoes made steady clunking noises as I walked, and I noticed every person I passed looking at me. Women whispered behind me, men made dirty comments. I was thankful when I had my destination in sight, but nervous.
I walked up to the big glass doors and through them, smiling at the man who held them open for me. I walked up to the desk and spoke to the lady, and she gave me directions to room 212. I waited for the lift, not wanting to take the stairs. Reaching floor 2 I navigated the corridors until I found it, room 212. I looked at my watch, I was a minute early.
I stood nervously, hoping I hadn't forgotten anything. You had told me where to go, that you would already be there, and to enter at exactly 7.30. Not any earlier, not any later. You had ordered me to wear a short coat and high heels, nothing more. So there I stood in a raincoat that was barely long enough to cover my dignity and high heeled shoes. You told me nothing else about tonight, that I will find out when I got there and everything will be great if I do as you ask.
I checked my watch again. 7.30. I opened the doors and walked in. The room was subtly lit with a couple of small lamps and some candles. I could not see you, but I heard your voice, instructing me to take off my shoes, go over to the bed and get changed, and telling me that you have been watching.
I walk over and untie the belt of my raincoat, pulling it apart and sliding it over my shoulders, letting it drop to the ground. I pick up the black silk nightdress you have left in a box on the bed, pulling it on. The nightdress is low cut at the front, very exposing with a black lace overlay, and the back falls away with small ribbons holding the shape. You direct me onto the four post bed, telling me to kneel in the middle facing the pillows, and to put on the blind fold which is there.
"Yes Master" I reply, as I do what you say. One of the things you told me was that the only answer I was allowed to give you was "yes Master", and that if there was something I wanted I had to ask by saying "please Master". Now blind folded kneeling on the bed I feel a presence in the room.
