Chapter Three: Dinner with Friends
"The thing about new relationships in this day and age, is that they usually start with a lot of sex," Catrina commented to Lori.
It was true, Lori agreed. There was a
novelty effect.
Something that made everything more exciting and fresh when first embarking on a new relationship.
The two women had poured themselves a glass of wine. They were out on the balcony of Eric's condominium, where Lori was now living. Lori though about it a bit more. Her new relationship with her dominant Eric still had a novelty about it. Being in a D/S relationship was a huge change from the norm, but the amount of sex they were having every time they met was typical for a budding relationship. Living in the city had a faster pace to it. Everything felt accelerated. She hadn't sensed it when she was only working here, but now that she was living downtown she could feel the rush. As a side effect of this
rush
, she had dove into this relationship with both feet and never looked back. This was not part of her normal personality, but the Lori she once was went out the window the day she met Eric.
Of course, she told Catrina how Eric came by the apartment every evening that first week. He could not get enough of her. She would get home from her job as an insurance adjuster just after 5 pm and shower off. Eric would come in about an hour later. They would usually order dinner and then talk for a few hours before going to the bedroom for that nights sex session.
It didn't sound that exciting when Lori explained it to Catrina, but the relationship was really intense and the sex was incredible. It made her toes curl and the hairs on her arms stand on end. She begged for her orgasms, which came in powerful waves almost without end. Eric fucked hard, like an animal, often growling in her ear. It those intense moments she would feel the butterflies in her stomach. She only sensed her body float, like in an ocean. He threw her around the bed like a doll and she loved it. She had never been with anyone this aggressive, ever. It was reaching the point where she would get wet when he walked through the door. With a single look, she would instantly remove her panties from under her dress and hand them over to him. He didn't need to say a word, half their relationship had become this unspoken bond where she already knew what he was thinking.
For her part, Catrina was a good friend and loved hearing all the details that Lori could give her. Catrina texted her often when they weren't hanging out together. During the second week, if Eric was working late or was unable to come over, Catrina came over. She would keep Lori company and help her search for furnishings for the apartment. All of it found in posh high-end stores where Eric had an account that they could charge. Soon the apartment was looking lived in. The view it had of the lake was amazing. Catrina marveled at it every time she was there.
"I do not want to know what he paid for this place," Catrina remarked. It was warm and sunny out and the two of them stood out on the balcony looking out over the waterfront. Catrina leaned over the edge looking 20 stories down, wine glass dangling from one hand. "Do you have any idea what a lake view condo is worth!? This is Toronto! Hell, do you know what property values are like around here for a complete shithole?"
"I'm afraid to know," Lori said plopping down in a lounge chair. The balcony was large enough for two of them and the ones that Catrina had picked out were so comfortable.
"I don't even care and I know!" Catrina laughed. She wore a billowing blue dress that caught the breeze and swirled around her carelessly. "Sven and Eric are always going on about property in this city. Anyways, Eric is invested in a couple of different places you know."
"I feel like a kept woman," Lori complained. It was true, even though she still kept her job. She wasn't paying any of the bills. Eric insisted on handling all of the financials. Her money was just up keeping her old place until the lease was up. As far as she was concerned, she was living here now.
"Hello!" Catrina exclaimed. She sat down in the other chair and looked at her threw her heart shaped sunglasses. "You're a submissive! It's your nature to be kept. It's how dominants are with us. They keep us like pets or charms. I say embrace it, honey. I know I did and look at me now!"
"Shhh! Cat!?" Lori was alarmed at Catrina's boisterous voice. "What if my neighbors hear you!?"
"I say
fuck them
! We are not for sale! They can get their own submissives!" Catrina laughed and finished her glass in a single gulp. She raised her glass. "We need a slave boy to bring us more wine.
Slave boy! Top me off!
"
"Oh my God! Cat are you drunk already!?" Lori laughed.
"Who knows?" She shrugged. "Probably. I
may
have had a glass or two before I got here."
"What about Sven?"
"What about him? I'm allowed to have wine now and again," Catrina replied. She gave Lori and knowing, sly look. "Sven knows I like to drink! Besides, I'm a fun drunk!"
"Is having a
slave boy
a real thing?" Lori questioned after a short silence. The idea had a certain appeal to it. She thought it was cool idea to have someone in a maid uniform cleaning up the place.
"Sure. I don't see why not," Catrina said with a shrug. "There are lots of people out there with lots of different fetishes. You are just starting to learn about these things. There are just as many submissive men out there as there are women. Hey, maybe even more! I bet Eric could find someone who would be willing to service us. I mean, just someone to cook and clean and bring us wine and chocolates!"
"There is still so much I don't know. Aside from Eric, I only know you and Sven. I don't really know anyone else in the lifestyle."
"Sure you do. You just don't know it yet."
"Huh?"
"You probably have co-workers or friends who are into this and you don't even know it."
Lori shook her head. "Not the people I work with. They are as
vanilla
as they come. Certainly not my friends. I can't even tell any of them what I'm into! They wouldn't understand."
"Don't be so sure of that," Catrina said. "Believe it or not, even some of them might be involved in the fetish community. You don't know what people do when they get home and lock the door. Maybe the take all their clothes off and run around naked. Maybe they like to fuck on the dining room table!"
