Chapter 1, Preparation
I looked at the borrowed room: a single red rose in a bud vase on the nightstand, my clothes for the evening laid out on the bed, and a handwritten note resting on top of a box on the pillow. It was only the second time I'd seen your handwriting; the first was when you sent a note along with my public collar.
Welcome home, my dear!
(To your "spiritual" home, if not your actual one.) You'll find your outfit on the bed; you're to wear only what you see... don't add anything more. Well, except for your public collar. (I can't wait to see you in that!) :-) Don't forget to open the present, and follow the instructions you find in there.
But before you get dressed, I want you to thoroughly wash up, using only the items provided. Take a shower first, then soak for a while in the tub. Be sure to start getting dressed no later than five; you'll find a cab waiting for you when it's time for you to go... just ask someone about it at the front desk. BTW... you'll need help putting on one of the items; don't be shy about calling the front desk and asking them to send someone up to assist you.
Looking forward to finally seeing you in person. (Our third "first meeting" anniversary for me to remember, hehehe.)
*blows you a kiss and pinches you on the nipple*
I dropped the note on the bed and started looking through the items laid out for me: a pair of black shoes -- patent leather pumps with tall, spike heels.
Hmmmmmm
, I thought.
Walking in those will prove to be interesting
... A pair of black silk stockings. A black garter belt and matching black lace thong panties. A black damask silk corset. Black skirt. Deep plum silk blouse.
Hmmmmmm, no bra. That will be quite amusing
...
After studying the corset, I understood that was the item I'd need help putting on.
So I'm supposed to call a complete stranger and have them see me half-naked?
With a glance at the clock, I decided I'd best begin following your orders; so I headed for the bathroom -- a very opulent room. Candles were already burning as recorded music played in the background. When I surveyed the room, I found more notes, directing me in what to do. I went through my usual routine, then stepped in the shower. Once I finished washing up and shaving, I turned off the shower and filled the tub.
I closed my eyes, allowing Mahler's Second Symphony to fill my mind as I relaxed in the tub. By this point "Urlicht" -- the fourth movement of the piece -- was playing. I smiled, thinking of you as I listened to your favorite piece of music. If anything could calm me tonight, it was memories of you.
