After Mistress Janet left that first night, I couldn't sleep at all. I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened -- and how much I loved every second of it.
I got to work and settled into the "same ol' -- same ol'" humdrum. By 10:00 AM my lack of sleep was catching up with me and I was ready for a nap. Just as I was thinking about going to get a coffee, my phone rang. We have caller ID where I work and it came up with my wife's office number. Temporarily forgetting that Donna was out of town, I answered, "Hi Honey."
"Hi Honey?" Came the reply. "You're getting a little presumptuous, don't you think, slave?"
Janet! Shit!
"I'm sorry, Janet. I saw Donna's number and answered out of habit."
"Oh, now it's 'Janet'", she said caustically. "I thought you understood that you are to call me Mistress. I AM going to have to punish you, I see."
"But I'm at work. I can't talk like that at work," I objected.
"You have your own office, don't you, slave?"
"Yes, I do. But sometimes there are people in my office."
"Okay, listen -- I'm in a good mood," she said. "I'm going to let it slide this time. I'll be sympathetic to your situation. From now on, however, if you are alone when we talk -- no matter where you are -- work, home, at a restaurant, at the convenience store -- no matter where -- you are to address me properly. If there are people around, then you don't have to -- I told you that I would be discreet, and you need to trust me if this relationship is to work. But I need to trust you too, Tom, so I expect that you'll be honest."
"Yes, Mistress. I understand. Thank you for your leniency."
"You're welcome. Anyway, the reason I'm calling is because I told you we were going shopping today -- do you remember?"
"Yes, Mistress. I remember."
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"Umm..."
"I want you to always be honest with me, Tom. I will never punish you for answering a question honestly."
"Umm, okay. Well, actually, no, I'm not really looking forward to it, Mistress."
"Why not? Don't you want to be my slave-slut?"
"Yes, Mistress, I do -- I've finally accepted that I really do -- but I just don't see myself as a transvestite or cross-dresser or whatever you want to call it. I guess it just doesn't turn me on," I said.
"That's where you're wrong. You were incredibly turned on last night," she retorted.
I certainly couldn't deny it. So why did I have a problem? Was I turned on despite the cross-dressing, or because of it? I honestly didn't know.
"You're right, of course, Mistress. I was more turned on than I've ever been. I just think it was because of you, and not because of being dressed in that way," I offered.
"You may be right about that. Maybe you don't want to dress up. But the fact that you did it submissively when you didn't really want to is why it was such a turn-on for you. You got off on being ordered to do something you would never allow yourself to indulge in otherwise. There are a lot of things that'll be true for -- and we will explore many of them. I will never allow you to be hurt, Tom. Nor will you ever go home to your wife with marks on your body that you have to explain. Do you trust me?"
"Yes, Mistress. I trust you."
"Excellent. Then you will do anything I tell you to do -- even if you think you don't want to -- as long as I keep my promise not to hurt or mark you, right?"
"Yes, Mistress. You have my word."
"Good. Are you able to get away from the office for the rest of the day?"
"I guess so," I replied. "I have some sick time. I can just say I'm not feeling well and leave."
"Excellent. I'll meet you at your house. No, scratch that. You don't need nosey neighbors causing trouble. Meet me at my house. Do you know where I live?"
I told her I didn't, so she gave me directions. After making my excuse to my boss, I shot over to my new Mistress' house as fast as I could. I was nervous, though -- I really had a bit of a problem with the whole cross-dressing thing. But apparently I was very excited also, because I found myself speeding to get there.
When I arrived she let me in and I was surprised to see her in very sexy lingerie. She wore a blue demi-bra, a matching thong, white hose (the hose she wore were the type that stayed up by themselves -- she wasn't wearing a garter belt), and blue heels. She looked incredibly sexy -- truly a vision.
"I wasn't expecting you quite so soon," she said. "You made good time."
I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing.
"Well -- what do you think," she said as she twirled around. "This is more like what I had in mind for you -- not that boring stuff your wife wears."
"It's very sexy on you, Mistress. I don't think it would be on me, though."
"You might be surprised. Heather is a true artist."
