stefaan took a deep breath as he stood to de-plane. Valerie had been his Mistress for about 2 years, though they had known each other for three. She was everything to him and so he left his own country to stay with Her for the next 2 years. She had taught him as well as possible, taking over his life as best She could with an ocean separating them. This was his first time meeting Her in person. he wasn't nervous about that. No, he was nervous because he wasn't sure that the secret that he was a slave would remain a secret. he knew She loved to torment him, to come as close as possible to outing him and he suspected it would be no different in person. She also lived with Her kids. She said they'd never know but he wasn't so sure. His thoughts were jumbled as people jostled for him in the struggle to get off the plane.
Smiling, he strode down the gangway. he was confident that the meeting now would be easy, they knew each other inside and out, there should be no nervousness. And, he knew, today he would finally get to touch Her, hear Her reactions, see Her face as She commanded him. With an inward sigh he hustled through customs. She was sadistic, he wondered is She would be cruel in real life. Sadistic is one thing, cruel is quite another.
he stopped just outside of the final security checkpoint and sought Her out. Bright red, She had said, though he'd know Her anywhere. Yes, there She was. Wonderful. he took a deep breath and plunged into his new life.
In the middle of the airport She made him kneel. Dropping his baggage he hurriedly got to his knees. The "Yes Mistress," was strangled, coming from a throat closed with embarrassment. Humiliation made his face flame. She smiled softly as he assumed the position She had drilled into his head; knees spread, arms folded behind his back, eyes down. Two years of online service almost translated smoothly into real life. he stared at Her feet, wishing he could look at Her legs. She was wearing a short black leather skirt, a deep red silk blouse and strappy 2 inch heels. Her legs looked fabulous framed by the heels and skirt.
She made him wait 2 long, agonizing minutes before She stroked his head and pulled him to his feet. his eyes remained on the floor as She kissed his cheek. "Welcome to the US, pet. Let's go home." As they walked through the airport She began to ask him questions. "How was your flight, stef?"
"Long, as it would be, coming from Belgium, and a little boring. i didn't like the movie very much." In the next second stefaan yelped in surprise and pain. She had pinched him hard on the underside of his arm. In their relationship online She had told him often enough that he will use the proper form of address. She shook Her head, he forgot a lot. Oh well, She'd make sure he remembered after today.
"Didn't you forget something?"
"Yes Ma'am, sorry Ma'am."
"Are your parents ok with coming here for a couple of years?"
Stef sighed a little bit. "Not entirely, but they'll get over it Ma'am."
"When I spoke with your father, he didn't seem too thrilled to have you so far away. He tried to make a lot of rules." She grinned.
he looked anxious. "What did You do? You know he must feel he has complete control." his voice was bitter, "He always had up until now."
She let the lack of address slide, this once, merely raising a single eyebrow. "I told him that you are an adult, young, but an adult. At 24 you need to figure out how to live your own life. I did manage to convince him that the rules would be strict."
he groaned. "Oh no. Now he will be furious with me." Belatedly, he added "Ma'am."
She smiled, "No he won't. I have a way about these things. Your mother was easier, she was simply concerned that you would be well looked after."
he was silent for a few moments. She sensed he was evaluating his opinions about what She had said and wondering what he could say. "you may speak freely, pet."
stef took a deep breath. "Mistress, i am a little frightened. i do not know what will come of my being here. And i am worried that i will not have time for study as Your slave. i am also afraid that my father will have some retribution when i get back."
She stopped him with a hand on his arm, turning to face him, "I know those are the minimum of your fears, stef, and I want to reassure you that you're time here will be worthwhile. In two years you will go back to Belgium, if you wish, with your law degree, a fully trained slave and to parents who will be happy to see you."
he smiled slightly, "my father has never been happy to see me."
"You will be better able to stand up to him, in the end, than you have ever been before." Valerie knew that his father was a Dominant, and his mother was the slave. The man had always held strict dominion over the house. And, being a doctor, he controlled everything his wife and children did right down to their health. stef had found some relief in his travels in the past and She hoped to send him back with a large sum of self-confidence.
She started walked again, knowing he would follow. She led them to the car and drove to Her house. stef watched the scenery around him, disappointed at first by the obvious suburbia surrounding the airport. She followed the thoroughfares into the city, including one swooping ramp that took them above the houses. he gasped at the view offered. Her home is a low built city, not too many high rises and most of those were clustered around the center of the city. So when the ramp took them over the houses he was astounded by the far reaching sprawl of life, as well as the view of the sun city behind the not too distant mountains.
She smiled, "It's beautiful isn't it? And the air is so clean. I love it here."
"i can see why, Mistress."
Her smiled turned inward, he would love it too. Once he got over his anxiousness. She didn't think he should be anxious, he'd traveled all over Europe, lived in Italy for about a year, but, She supposed, this was different. Here, he was setting himself down in the middle of a ready-made family, as a full time slave. Valerie's children were prepared for the guest. They knew stef was coming to go to school here, they knew he was renting Her carriage house. That's all they knew.
They were excited, her 11 y/o son in particular, because stef was from Belgium. Their father had been born to a Dutch mother and Belgian father and the kids had all kinds of questions about the countries their grandparents had come from. For now though, they were with Her best friend for the next couple of days, to give stef time to settle and get over the jet lag, She had said.
However, he would be thrown right into the role of slave. They had been Mistress and slave, online, for 2 years and She had been itching to get Her hands on him. She had spent the time since moving secretly setting up a dungeon in Her basement. Today and tomorrow it would be used fully.
Finally they pulled into Her driveway. The street was gorgeous, tree-lined, clean sidewalks, good sized yards, medium to large house set well back from the street. She had bought the house with a combination of inheritance from Her Great Aunt, sales from Her books and Her husband's life insurance. She smiled softly. It was their dream house. Not that he had cared much about the house they lived in, as long as She had been happy, but he had agreed on certain aspects – lots of space, room for her to work and the family to live, and a shop for him. Since he didn't need the shop now, Her smile turned sad, She used it. She had started out, in Her old home, with a sub who made Her toys, he had made the hardware, She added the leather. They had done well together, until She moved. Now She did it Herself. She made a lot of things out of wood and was learning to work with metal, copper mostly. The shop was nice and big, two-thirds of bottom floor of the old carriage house.
The top of the carriage house had been converted to an apartment for stef. There were a few hidden bondage items but he would see them later. For now She pulled the car into the remaining space in the bottom and told him to get out of the car.
