I step out of the shower, wrap the warm towel around me and cross the hall to our bedroom. I see my clothes for the evening laid out on the bed, there's a beautiful black silk dress split at the sides almost to the hip with black stockings and underwear. On the floor I see my black high-heeled shoes, then I glance to the dressing table where my black silk choker and diamond earrings have been neatly placed. Without hesitation, I dry myself and slip into everything my Master has chosen for me, I brush and dry my hair before putting on my make-up. As I stand I turn to at my reflection in the full-length mirror, when it comes to dressing me he has exquisite taste. I walk through to the lounge and he smiles when he sees me, 'I've left my hair down, Sir, as no clips or bands were left out for me,' I say.
'You look a beautiful,' he says 'I prefer your hair as it is; I like to run my fingers through it. Now, come sit by me.' I walk over to his chair and sit on the floor beside him, he pats his leg and I tilt my head to rest it there were while he strokes my hair. He is watching a film on television so I watch with him, patiently waiting to discover what plans he has for the evening. It is not long before the film ends and he informs me that he has a table booked for eight-thirty as we will be having dinner with one of his business associates and his wife. He stands and offers his hand to help me up, 'if we leave now, we'll have time for a quick drink at the bar first.' he says. I follow him out to the car and on the way to the restaurant he tells me about the couple I am about to meet, he also tells me that after dinner he and John will head through to the bar to discuss the business details while I will remain at the table with Helen. The thought of the time ahead fills me with anguish, so many times have I have endured time with the incredibly dull partners of his associates, at least my rewards for such tasks have always been a great.
We arrive and the takes the car to the car park, as we walk up the stairs into of the restaurant he holds my wrist and I remain one step behind him. We reach the table and find John and Helen already waiting there. I reach my seat and wait beside it until he sits. We order our drinks and food and chat while we wait about how well business is going for all of them, I listen as master and John laugh about their earlier failed business ventures then the conversation takes a more interesting turn as I learn that Helen owns a small lingerie shop in the city center called 'Secret Silk'. However, it isn't until Master and John go through to the bar that I learn the whole story behind Helen's store.
'So, now that it's just us a girls,' she says as a playful smile appears on her face, 'let me tell you the truth about my little store. You see, it is purely an lingerie store to anyone who knows no more, however, beyond the fitting rooms there is another store, one which sells exquisite clothing and accessories for a more extraordinary clientele with more specific tastes.'
'How extraordinary exactly?' I inquire 'I mean, that sounds a rather like a sex shop to me and every town has those, why do you believe yours to be so special?'
'Ah, I knew you'd be after more than the usual as soon as I saw you. Well, I sell more than just dildos, dirty mags and videos. As I'm sure you know, there is a much wider product range for those people are of such a persuasion. I stock a huge range of fetish clothing and accessories, things like collars, leads, cuffs, spreader bars, the gags, blindfolds, plugs, chastity belts, you name it and I either sell it or I can get it. I even have a list of specialists who regularly make larger items for me, things like cages, stocks and whipping posts, that kind of thing.'
'Wow! Where is this shop? I'd love to see it.' I say.
'I was hoping you would, I'm actually looking for someone to run the more specialised section so that I'll be able to be more focused on the administration side of things and the personal orders and custom pieces. I already employ a girl to run the main store, she is fully aware of what is out the back but she has no interest or knowledge of such things, and unless I'm very much mistaken you have both.'
I smile and nod that Helen, she takes my hand and says 'I'll be round to pick you up at quarter to nine tomorrow, you can check the place out then decide if you want the job or not.'
'Well, I have to check that's okay with Mark before hand but I'm sure he be fine with it.'
We chat about our past and present relationships, I tell Helen about my submission to Master and I tell her about how and why our relationship works. She tells me about her past relationships, I learn that she is bisexual like me, however, her history has been a little more colourful than mine has. She tells me all about her past, all about her time spent in a world I have only dreamed about. She tells me about her friends, the places they either visit, own or work at, a selection of stores, clubs and training institutions in a world of sexual freedom. I have a great deal of knowledge in theory but it is all learnt from my Master, it is only what he has shown me or told me about, I long to learn more. As Helen describes these places, I want to see them for myself.
Helen slides her business card across the table to me and says, 'why don't you talk to Mark about my job offer when you get home then give me a ring to confirm your acceptance.'
'Yes, I'll do that, Helen, thanks.' I reply as a slip the card into my handbag. I notice Master and John returning from the bar and stand up as they approach the table, Master places his arm behind me and I feel his hand split up under my hair and firmly grasp the back of my neck.
'Well, the bill's been taking care of and as it's quite late I think we should be heading home.' Our coats are brought over and we are informed that the cars are waiting outside. We say our goodbyes and I notice Helen give me a wink as wicked smile passes across her lips.
As we get into the car I think about telling Master about Helen's job offer but I decide to wait until we get home. I glance over to him as we weave through the traffic and, without even looking back at me, his hand slips slowly from the gear stick to my leg. 'Open your legs,' he says and almost instinctively I do so. He moves his hand over slightly and slides it up the inside of my thigh, over my stocking then stoking my skin gently, I can feel myself growing damp as a tingle runs through my entire body. His finger reaches the soft satin of my underwear and I know he can feel the wetness there, which only increases my arousal. As he pushes the flimsy material of the thong aside I move my legs farther apart, he begins to slide his finger into me making me moan. 'So, are you going to be working for Helen then?' he asks, his eyes still focusing on the road ahead. I look to him in surprise; he knows what Helen and I had discussed that evening.
'Well, I was going to tell you about her offer when we got home, Sir, did John tell you about it?'
'Actually, he told me about it a while ago and I recommended you so we arranged tonight so Helen could meet you.' he explained as his fingers continued their work between my thighs, moving from inside me to my clitoris, rubbing firmly but slowly.
'I see, so you want me to take the job? I ask. He removes his hand from me and puts them into his mouth, sucking my juices from them.
'Yes, I do. I think it would be good for you, not only would it be something for you to do during the day but also I think you would find it both educational and fun. I'm sure you would find the money useful too.' he says as we pull into the driveway.
Once home, he fixes us drinks and sits down patting the sofa beside him, I sit beside him and nestle into the crook of his arm. 'I think you should phone Helen and let her know your decision before it gets too late,' he says as he hands me the telephone, 'she'll be thrilled if you accept, I'm sure.'
I take her card from my bag and carefully dial the number, Helen answers and, as Master said, she is thrilled to hear that I'll take the job. 'That's great,' she says, 'I have a really good feeling about this, it's going to be ace. See you tomorrow.' I say goodbye to her and return my place in the lounge.
Master wraps his arm around me and says 'Congratulations, a working girl now, I'm so proud of you and I know you'll make me even more proud.'
'What do you mean?' I ask, 'Is there more to this job than I know about?
'All will be made clear by Helen tomorrow, I'm sure, but everything she might ask of you has my approval. I don't want you to obey her as you would me, I would never ask you to give yourself to another like that. Helen and I have spoken and I trust her implicitly, I'd trust her with my own life and with the only thing as important to me, you. So whatever she may ask of you, no matter what, the decision of acceptance is yours to make. You are responsible for all your actions while at work; I have consented to the job and so consented to all it entails. Now, I think that's everything covered, you've a big day ahead so I think we should get an early night.' He stands up and holds his hand out to me; I reach up and take it then follow him up to bed.
He steps behind me as I stand in front of the dressing table and unzips my dress, sliding the delicate straps down my arms then allowing it to fall to the floor. His hands move up to my choker, which he unfastens and places on the dressing table next to my usual collar. He picks up my collar, the leather one he gave me when I first agreed to be his, and replaces the choker with it. I moan as the soft leather is wrapped around my neck, I hold my hair up and tilt my head down to make it easier for him to do up the buckle at the back. 'That's better,' he says, 'the choker is beautiful but it's just lacking in something, don't you think?'
'I prefer my collar, it has more significance for me, I just wish it was more widely acceptable then I could wear it all the time.'
'Well, the job should help with that, you'll be able to wear it with pride working there.' He says as he leans in to plant a gently kiss on my shoulder. 'Now, lets get out of all this and into something a little more restrictive.'
In no time at all Master has removed my underwear and I stand before him wearing only my collar. 'Lay down, my sweet slave, you will be able to sleep soundly soon.' he says and I lay on the bed. He fastens my leather cuffs to my wrists and ankles, he connects them securely with padlocks, wrist to wrist and ankle to ankle, before hanging the key via a carabina from the ring at the front of my collar. He undresses and climbs into bed beside me, he wraps his arms around me and I curl up into his warm arms. I feel so safe like this, held tightly by Master and secure in my bonds, I soon fall asleep in his embrace.
