Tori got home from Jack's and hurried inside hoping she didn't run into any of her neighbors. She was dressed as she was when she left last night, and she didn't need anyone asking any questions. She hurried into her apartment, and headed to her bedroom. She pulled her robe out of her closet, stripped out of her outfit and heels and headed to the kitchen.
She listened to her messages, making a mental note to call her girlfriend back later. She started some spaghetti sauce for supper, thinking she could take left overs to work with her. She cleaned up her living room, putting away some magazines and straightened the cushions.
While she worked she thought about what had taken place that weekend. She found herself thinking differently about Jack. He had always been a buddy, since he had started teaching her how to ride a horse, but now she was having other feelings for him. She was coming to respect him as a Dom and possibly more. She wandered back into the kitchen to stir the sauce, and see what else she could make with her spaghetti. She found some garlic bread and some sausage she could add to the sauce. She cooked up the sausage and added it to the simmering sauce. She wandered around the house her thoughts on Jack.
She checked her sauce once more, then grabbed a book hoping to take her mind off of Jack for a while. Tossing all these thoughts around in her head was just making her more confused. She curled up on the couch and opened the book, but she just couldn’t concentrate. Her thoughts kept drifting back to when she and Jack were in the shower. She wasn’t sure if the heat and longing she felt with him was more than just the heat of the moment or not. She didn’t know how he felt either. Tossing the book aside she went back to the kitchen to stir her sauce. She put water on to boil for the noodles, just as the phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Tori, its Jack. How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine Sir. Just making some supper” Tori felt as nervous as a schoolgirl talking to her first crush. She smiled to herself.
“ I was wondering if you’d like to go out Friday night? To a local bar do some dancing.”
“I umm sure, that sounds like it would be fun.” Tori’s palms began to sweat. She couldn’t figure out why this invitation had her so worked up.
“Are you sure you’re all right?” Jack questioned.
“Yes Sir I’m fine. Just have something else on my mind at the moment.”
“Okay, if you change your mind just give me a call. Dress casual jeans and shirt are fine. I figured we could go country dancing if that is all right with you?”
“That sounds fine to me.”
Jack wanted to see how she was in a more relaxed setting. He knew how she reacted to him when they were alone, but he wanted to see how she would be in public. He figured some dancing and that being among a lot of people would be a nice casual evening. I’ll pick you up around 7 p.m. is that OK?”
“Yes, Sir that will be fine.” Tori hears the water boiling and dumps noodles into the water. They say their good byes and hang up.
Tori shakes her head and decided to not think about it any longer. She would just take her relationship with Jack one step at a time.
Friday evening, Tori dressed in a long black skirt that fell to her ankles, and a yellow peasant blouse that she left off of her shoulders. She placed a gold choker around her neck and a simple pair of gold earrings in her ears. She pulled her long hair up into a ponytail, knowing that if she danced she would get too warm with it on her neck. Checking her appearance in her full-length mirror she nodded. She wanted to look good for Jack. She wanted him to be pleased by the sight of her. She paused for a moment. She couldn’t remember when she wanted a man to be pleased by the sight of her. She always dressed for herself. She always felt better when she looked good. She lightly sprayed her favorite perfume on and walked into the living room just as Jack knocked on her door.
She took a deep breath as she opened the door. She smiled and motioned Jack inside.
“You look lovely this evening, Tori.”
“Thank you, Sir.” Tori smiled shyly. She turned and picked up her purse from the kitchen table.
“ Are you ready to do some dancing, and relaxing?”
“Yes Sir, I am.”
They walk out to the truck, and Jack opens her door for her and waits while she climbs inside. He makes sure she gets all of her skirt inside before he closes the door. He walks around to the driver’s side, and climbs in. He starts the truck and they drive in silence for a few minutes.
“How was your week?” Jack asked as they got on the freeway.
“It was good, nothing exciting happened. How was yours?”
“Same thing for me, just keeping the ranch running. Getting ready for a few of the mare’s to become mothers. Hoping for some good strong racing horses.”
“ Sounds like your everyday is a little more complicated than mine. I have enough trouble keeping up with all the details of my work. I’m not sure I could run a ranch.” Tori laughed softly.
They arrived at the bar, and Jack opened the door for Tori, and helped her out of the truck. They went inside and were immediately assaulted with the smoke and beer smell that is so prominent in a bar. They managed to find an open table in a far corner.
“Would you like a drink? Some wine or something else?” Jack leaned close so he could be heard over the noise.
“Just a Sprite would be fine. I’m not much on drinking”
Jack got up to make his way to the bar. He figured they would have a long wait for a waitress with this many people in here. Jack walked up to the bar and ordered soda’s for both of them. While he was waiting a friend of his walked up next to him.
“Hey Jack, how are you?” Bill slapped him on the back.
“Doing OK Bill, and yourself? I haven’t seen you in quite a while.”
“I’m doing OK, trying to keep my submissive in line like usual.” Bill laughed as he indicated the woman standing behind him.
“Hello Lisa” Jack looked over Bills shoulder.
“Hello Sir.” Lisa replied quietly.
“ Yes, I know what you mean. I’ve got myself a new submissive as well. She’s hiding in the corner at our table if you’d like to join me. I’m sure the women can chat while we talk.” Jack led the way back to the table with Bill and his lady following him.
“Bill and Lisa, I’d like to introduce you to Tori”
Tori stood up. “ Hello Sir, and Lisa.” Tori glanced at Jack wondering if she had made a mistake in saying that. But he just stood there smiling.
“Hello Tori, Lisa why don’t you sit here by Tori and you two young ladies can talk while Jack and I talk about Ranching.”
“Yes, Sir.” Lisa sat next to Tori and the two of them talked quietly.
They decided to go do some line dances since the men were involved in a conversation about ranching.
Both of the Dom’s watched them as they made their way to the floor. Both girls had men watching them as they made their way to the floor and joined in the line dancing. The two of them danced and laughed through a couple of songs. As they walked back to the table, two of the guys who had been watching them on the floor stopped them.
Bill and Jack kept a careful eye on the exchange. They saw both girls shake their heads no, and start walking away.
The girls came back to the table and sat down, before either one of their bottoms hit the chair Bill was questioning Lisa.
“What did they want?”
“They wanted to know if we would join them for a drink, Sir. We told them no” Lisa replied quietly.
“Is that all they wanted?”
“Yes Sir it is.”
“Maybe we should get going, the two of you on the dance floor may cause nothing but problems” Jack spoke up.
“But…” Tori stopped at the look in Jack’s eyes. “Yes, Sir.”
The four of them left, the men deciding to go back to Jack’s place since it was closer. The drive home was quiet, neither Jack nor Tori had much to say.
When they pulled up to the house, Jack finally spoke. “ Go out to the barn, you and Lisa can stay in there and talk while Bill and I take care of some things.”
“Yes, Sir” Tori replied quietly. She wasn’t sure if Jack was upset with her or not, but felt it was best to not question him. Bill and Lisa arrived moments later and Bill sent her towards the barn where Tori was already waiting.
“I’m up here Lisa.” Tori called down from the play area. Lisa climbed up the steps to the loft.
“Oh wow, I never knew he had all of this here.” Lisa said in awe.
