February. Blizzard-like conditions. Snow piling up faster than I'd ever seen. And cold!
Thank God for my office, just down a flight of stairs in my home. I'd canceled my appointments for the day, both those I was to attend and the ones with people coming here. The only person I couldn't reach was the woman from Theater Direct, but I suspected she'd been stopped by the elements as had everyone else.
It was a bit frustrating to be storm-stayed but the positive side of my nature took over. I braved three steps out the back door to the cord of wood I'd ordered, retrieved a few logs, shook them off, went inside and built a cozy little blaze in the hearth. Next came a warm and fuzzy pair of slippers and a trip to the kitchen to make a large mug of hot chocolate.
What the heck, I thought, relax and enjoy it.
Looking out my front window, even the street was rapidly becoming impassable. The snow depth was well over a foot, just too tricky for most urban drivers. But, throw up a block and there'll always be somebody to challenge it.
Sure enough, along came one of those trendy 4-wheel-drive thingamajigs, just booting through the drifts. I was surprised to see it slow, then turn into my driveway.
No! Could this be the appointment I couldn't find to cancel?
Sure enough, a woman was getting out and battling her way through the wind and driving snow up my front stairs. I hurried to the door, watched her progress, then opened it just as she got to the top step.
In she came to much stomping of boots and shaking-off of snow. I couldn't help it. I laughed out loud. She had a sense of humor and laughed right along with me.
"I'm Alan Davis," I said.
"I'm Sandi Jones."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Jones. Does the post office credo also apply to your organization?"
We were still laughing.
"It probably seems that way, doesn't it?" she said. "Actually, I live a good deal farther north but your place is right on my way. Even with the 4-wheel drive, this isn't a day fit for man nor beast, never mind me."
I took her coat, hung it, and moved her wet boots onto the boot tray. Inviting her down to my office, I made sure she was comfortable and offered some of my special brew. "I was just having some hot chocolate. Would you like a cup?"
"That's refreshing," she said. "Usually I get pitched for drinks a whole lot stronger."
That made sense. My visual inspection revealed an attractive woman who'd likely be on the receiving end of a fair number of drink offers. I was amused that mine was so offbeat. Miss Jones, with her boots off, was considerably shorter than my 6' 3", just about five feet. Her dark hair flowed down past her shoulders, and her gray/blue eyes were captivating.
Reaching into her bag, she extracted a pair of shoes that must have had, astoundingly, 4" heels and slipped them on. Although she was now seated, I knew the height difference between us had just been narrowed considerably. She couldn't know it, but I've always had a fantasy about being at the loving mercy of a woman so much shorter than me.
The couch where she now sat is positioned to the right of my desk. For me to see anyone seated there requires I turn my head a full 90-degrees. From her perspective, she watched my profile as I worked the computer keyboard to bring up her company's file.
"Suppose we just relax and talk for a bit first," she said. "I've still got a bit of coming down to do after that drive."
That was okay with me. I turned in my swivel chair, letting my right arm lie atop the desk, to look at her. I was gratified that the sweater she wore was snug enough to reveal her womanly charms. The skirt, hiked a good six inches above her crossed knee, gave a rewarding look at a pair of lovely legs and, of course, those spectacular, black patent shoes. My benefit was the couch being a good 10 feet across the deep pile carpeting from where I sat. Looking at her and taking in her entire physical presentation was a whole lot easier than had she been closer.
The snow continued to beat against the windows and it was getting darker and darker. I already had one light turned on and was tempted to hit a few more switches. But Sandi stopped me, saying she liked the glow from the fireplace, that artificial lighting would spoil it.
There was a certain chemistry at work here and, gradually, I began losing my business hat, swapping it instead for a more sociable and flirty one.
"How far north do you live? I asked.
"I'm up near Orillia, not far from the lake."
"You know, of course, there's no way you're going to make it home tonight, don't you?"
"I thought as much," she said, "and there are lots more people in my shoes. Have you got a spare bed?" she smilingly asked.
"In fact, I do. A nice king size in the guest room. It's yours if you want it."
"Won't your wife object?"
"I don't think so. She's on the coast at a business meeting. Won't be back until Friday."
"Well," she said, "let's just take it easy and see what happens. If worse comes to worst, I'll phone home and tell my husband I'm staying in the city."
Throughout the banter I'd noticed her body language becoming more and more womanly, with less the corporate poise. It was an observation made despite my eyes constantly returning to her shoes. She seemed to be deliberately and provocatively putting on a bit of a foot show for me. What the hell, I thought, say something: "Those have got to be the most dangerous pair of shoes I've ever seen."
"You're right. They are dangerous, for a whole lot of reasons..." She stopped, leaving me hanging. "... but they do draw a lot of attention," she concluded.
"I can understand why," I said. "Not the least of reasons being sexual, I'll bet."
"Do they turn you on?"
"Absolutely. There's a crass phrase used by some people to describe high heels."
"Oh, you mean 'fuck me' shoes."
She got me. I was flustered. "Um, yeah. That's right."
"Well, these don't qualify for that. These are more the kind of shoes a Dominatrix wears. At least, that's why I wear them."
By now the score was two-zip for her side.
"A Dominatrix? I asked."
"Yes. That's what I am. Do you have any difficulties with that... or any questions?"
"Only one. Can we please put our time together to better use?"
"We certainly can. Come closer to me. Bring your cocoa and sit on this beautifully carpeted floor. Mmm, yes, right here at my feet."
"To set the tone for our time together," she continued, "there is one thing I want you to do for me right now." Wiggling the foot on her crossed leg, she said, "Say hello to me properly."
I brought the D/s situation into the open by responding, "Yes, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress," before pressing my lips against her shoe, sliding my tongue over the patent leather. I gently caressed the pointed toe of each shoe with my lips.
"Very good," she said, slipping out of the pump, raising her foot and lightly brushing my lips with her stocking foot. "Open your mouth," she demanded, easing her toes between my lips. "Suck."
I closed my eyes, reveling in the pleasure. Her toes moved gently as I mindlessly sucked. Slowly, she withdrew her foot from my face and indicated I could resume my relaxed position on the floor.
"Yes, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress. Your shoes, feet and toes are delicious."
"Tell me, do you have any experience? If so, what?"
"Yes, Mistress, I do. Bondage, discipline, humiliation, obedience training, dog training, cum eating, cock and ball torture, gag and bit training."
"What about anal?"
"No, Mistress. I'm a virgin."
"What are your fetishes?"
"High heeled shoes and boots, Mistress. Breasts in sexy lingerie, feet, and licking and kissing a Domina's soft, delicious buttocks."
"Do you have any toys, Alan?"
"Yes, Mistress. In the cabinet. I've got a collar and leash, a cock and ball harness, wrist and ankle restraints, two whips - one's a cat'o nine tails, the other is similar but with a harsher bite - and a 6' leather thong."
"Then you have the essentials, don't you?"
"Yes, Mistress. Would you like to see them?"
"Not just yet. Don't be too eager. Let's just finish our hot chocolate first."
We drank in silence, me very much aware that she continued using my first name. At last she spoke, "Hmm, this storm just isn't going away, is it? I'd better call home and tell them they won't be seeing me anytime soon. May I use your phone?"
