The slave had been ordered, by his owner, to book a sumptuous hotel room. The chosen location was private, remote and most respectable. The slave felt the twinges of anticipation at being able to feel the overwhelming presence and power of her once more. As early in the day as was permissible by the hotel booking the slave entered the suite and breathed a sigh of relief just hoping that his choice would please her and she would be lenient with him.
The hotel maids had done quite a good job of cleaning the room but immediately the slave set about making things just right for his owner's arrival. He pulled the sheets back from the bed and remade it ensuring that there were no creases or kinks in the crisp white cotton bedding. The large king sized bed was comfortable and high up from the ground. She liked it this way. A large sweeping cast iron headboard was the crowning glory and the slave swathed each end of the headboard with two long black silk scarves. She would require these later, no doubt.
Opening the curtains the slave stood for a while taking in the wonderful view. He knew he would be allowed no such privilege later this evening when she finally arrived. Rain drizzled down outside and he hoped that she would drive carefully in the poor conditions. If only she would allow him to drive her. But, alas, this was a dream. She was far too independent for such a thing, or so he supposed.
Having straightened the covers on the bed the slave immediately moved onto presenting the room as he hoped she would approve. He removed a small bud-vase from his bag and collected some water from the large en-suite bathroom. He then trimmed the stem of the single rose which he had bought in order to show his appreciation of his owner. He wiped the droplets of escaped water from the base of the vase and placed it on the unit to the left hand side of the bed. This is the side that he knows she will sleep - if she decided to stay at the hotel all night, of course. He hoped that the careful positioning of the rose would allow its delicate aroma to please her as she woke in the morning.
Having hours of time to fill yet feeling tired from his journey and yearning anticipation at his owner's arrival the slave busied himself about the room. The large armchair must be moved into a more advantageous position. She would, undoubtedly, want to sit there at some point. The mirror on the dressing table was tilted to just the right angle for her to be able to observe herself if she so wished. The rug was not symmetrically positioned to the side of the bed and he moved it with precision.
Then, with the room being about as perfect as he could make it, the slave turned his attentions to himself. He moved into the bathroom and emptied out some contents from his leather hold-all. He had already preened and buffed his body for her arrival but must ensure that he did not have a hair out of place. He placed his items tidily on the side and moved back into the bedroom with his bag.
Reaching inside he found a long black robe which she always demanded he presented for her to wear if she saw fit. It was a long and flowing item which shimmered in the light. Hoping she would decide to wear this garment this evening the slave found a hanger and hooked it over he door of the wardrobe. The robe must be on show. She would certainly punish him if she believed he had forgotten it. He ached again at the thought of her. She filled his mind almost all of the time but on those few rare occasions when he was allowed to see her it filled him with an immense emotion he could not even begin to describe, even to himself.
