I lied on my bed listening to the alarm ring. I don't want to get up. Oh, how I hate Mondays. Knock, Knock, Knock!
"Mommy? Are you awake? It's time to get up."
I laughed to myself, my kids telling me it's time to get up.
"I'm getting up."
As I looked in the mirror on my bureau, I saw the reflection of the card you sent me. I turned, picked up the card and read it.
Sonia... my submissive princess, You have no idea how your happiness and joy fills me... like the first breath of air in your lungs on a frosty winter morning. I have always promised that I will not only let you fly... but lift you to the heavens.. .You know I can never cage you, except by the bondage of your own love and devotion to me... and to the miraculous relationship we have. Oh god, the succulent juice of your free will, will surrender tastes sweet upon my lips.
And so my precious falcon, once again I will lift you up on my gloved hand... to watch you gracefully take wing and fly. My focus upon you is unwavering and my support and encouragement in this new dance eternal. I love you Sonia... God how I love you.
Your Forever Master
Sighing to myself, breathing deep, almost smelling you. It had been three weeks since our night at the hotel and I could still feel your presents surrounding me.
"I miss you, Master," I whispered to myself.
My world spinning so closely around me, I was swept back into reality within seconds.
"Ok, so what do we want for breakfast?"
"Cereal!" Karlee called to me.
"Eggs!" Juliet said.
"I'm not cooking this morning. Cereal or pop tarts. We're all running late."
"Pop-tarts!" The girls said together.
I finished a few things while the girls ate and scooted them out the door and to school. As I got in the car and put the keys into the ignition, I felt you. I know it was impossible, you weren't here, but I felt you. A shudder went down my spine; I took a deep breath in and yearned for your touch.
"How much longer do I have to wait?"
I put the car into and gear and drove off. As I was driving, my cell phone ran.
"Hello?"
"Can we get together today?"
"Now? I'm on my way to work, Quinn."
When we weren't sceneing, I called My Master by his first name.
"Meet me in the lobby." Then, he hung up.
Every time we got together, we always met at the same hotel. So, meeting him at the "lobby" was something he said quite often.
What should I do? I can't disobey my Master. I proceeded to call work.
"Hey Shelly, its Sonia. Something came up; I won't be able to make it in today. Send all my clients an email apologizing and rescheduled their appointments. Send me anything. I will be working on my computer from home."
"Ok. Jim Fritz called this morning; he wants to know what he should do about his Slidell account."
I pulled over, got out my laptop and looked at Mr. Fritz's account.
"Well, it looks like it spiked a little, tell him to give it a day or two and if it continues to spike, we'll move his account. Anything else, Shelly?"
"No, that's it. Oh hold on. Mr. Keith said he had some numbers to run by you today."
"Just send them to my computer. I'll look at them later. I'll call you around noon. OK?"
"OK, Sonia." Shelly paused for a moment, "Is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine, personal business. I will talk to you later today. Good-bye."
Damn, that was going to put me behind schedule. I hope Quinn is in a generous mood today. What seemed like an eternity was in reality 10 minutes to the hotel. As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw his car and then I saw him, emerging from the driver's seat. I parked beside him, ready to apologize for being late.
"I am sorry, it was work. I had to go over a few things with Shelly before just ditching the day."
"Everything is fine. Get in the car, I have a surprise fro you."
A surprise for me? I wasn't sure how to take it. Don't get me wrong my Master is a very kind and gentle man, but he demands perfection. And there are times, which I am far from perfect. He drove me to The Enchanted Forest Bed and Breakfast.
"You have been patient with me, my pet and I want to reward you."
The bed and breakfast was off the main road hidden behind a patch of weeping willow trees. It had just snowed the night before and the ice and snow covered everything. The sun shining on the trees, the wind slightly blew, ice crystals shimmered on the weeping willows, it was breathtaking. It was as if we entered another world. The driveway curved left to right. As the old mansion came into sight, my eyes started to weld up. The building was covered with ivy. Brick areas broke through the intricate design of the ivy vines. The white paneling on the windows were bright and the sun reflected in the windowpanes, bouncing the rays in to the glistening trees.
"Oh God, it is so beautiful here. Thank you, Quinn. But, I do not deserve this. I..."
"Now, not another word. you should be grateful, not question my ability to judge you."
He stopped the car by the front entrance and two men came around the car and opened both doors. One escorted me to the front porch and the other drove his car to the parking lot. I watched My Master walk up to the porch, think how grateful, how lucky I was to have the love and respect of such a wonderful man. I didn't want to ruin anything, so I decided to be his submissive mistress once again. As he approached, I lowered my eyes and waited for him to take my arm in his.
"Thank you, my Pet; you give me pleasure with your respect to me. You may raise your head." He paused and said, "I thought we would have a nice quite breakfast."
I smiled, leaned over and kissed his cheek and whispered, "You treat me as if I were a precious stone, and I promise to shine as bright as the finest diamond."
As we entered the dinning room, the fireplace was lit and the table set for two. It was, as if, this room was made just for us. The walls were covered with paintings by Di Vinci. The hard wooden floor, covered slightly by a rug made from the finest bear fur. Strung along the mantel, above the fireplace, were candles of every length. The smell of the cedar burning in the fireplace and the candles burning their sweet souls, engulfed my lungs. Could it get any more beautiful? As we sat and looked at our menus, my Master said,
"Let me order for you."
"Thank you, Master."
The waitress heard my response and giggled. I blushed and looked away.
"Don't hide your face! Are you ashamed to be my submissive?"
I, immediately, in front of the waitress, got to my knees into my submissive position.
"Master, I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I am not ashamed of you. I am not ashamed of us."
He ignored me and ordered our food. The waitress left rather quickly, knowing that I had wronged my Master.
"I should make you eat on the floor!"
"Master, what ever you decide, I will be grateful for. Just to be by your side is joy enough for me. Thank you, Master."
"I wanted so much for us to have a beautiful morning."
"Master, we still can. What ever you desire, I will do."
There was a long silence. I begun to wonder if he heard me. I wanted to repeat it, but if he had heard me, he may think I was mocking him.
"You may get up, slave."
His voice was stern. The loving voice from earlier was gone. I felt as if ice filled the room. As I sat down, I looked at my plate and there were two gifts wrapped in golden paper. I looked into his eyes, still seeing his pain, I looked away.
