She had him strip down before he was ever in Her presence. First emotionally, then literally. This inspection was the final step. Did She have a master plan to trap him from the beginning? He would never know and, at this point, he didn't care; all he craved was the slightest glance of attention, a nail to touch him, the glorious object of Her bite. He was nervous and couldn't shake the feeling that he was not worthy.
He had been corresponding with Her for awhile, but he was still astonished at how quickly he became trapped; he needed Her. He needed to please Her. It was arranged that he would arrive, remove his clothing, and walk past the blood red velvet curtain - into what, he wasn't sure. Should he take the red pill or the blue pill?
Arriving, he realized there was no choice to make, for the draw to Her was too strong. Stepping through, he scanned the room. And there She was. Lounging on a chaise, playing with the leather strips of her flogger, she seemed to glow. With her boots covering most of Her skin of leather, her corset topped the look. Gloves. Long glorious gloves. He wanted the pleasure of having them tied around his eyes - maybe as a gag. But that would be Her choice...he was getting ahead of himself.
"Come," she said, without moving. As he moved into the room he heard her voice softly, "spin." He complied and brought his mind back to the fact this this was a job interview, not a simple visit to a dominant woman. He wanted Her as his Mistress.
Finally She rose from the chaise and moved towards him. "I was not expecting your request...do you know what such a commitment entails?"
"Ah, yes, um..." he is so flustered.
"First, you will never address me as anything other than 'Mistress'. Is that understood?"
"Yes Mistress." He looked up in surprise - could that be all it was? Just asking? Was She his Mistress now?
"You will never look me in the eyes unless told do so!" It was the first time that She raised Her voice and, with a quiver, he realized his mistake.
"For the purposes of today you will call me Mistress because that is who I am. The question still remains about whether I'm your Mistress."
"Yes Mistress," he replies, relieved that he had not ruined his chance.
As She walks closer, he sees Her belt in more detail; it seems like it was made for enforcement. Pockets and hooks and everything needed to secure a prisoner. It hangs low on Her hips and he hungrily tries to take stock of what's included. His arousal becomes apparent and, with an electric sting, he feels the flogger whack his balls.
"Strike one."
"Oh shit," he thinks. How was he going to control himself.
"Stand straight and put your hands behind your head."
"Yes Mistress." He is exposed in the middle of the room and the feeling of vulnerability hasn't left. Was he crazy? In Her space asking for Her approval? Why couldn't he walk away? Why did he actually feel physically rooted to the ground?
Stepping closer, She takes a handful of his manhood and a blade materializes by his neck. She must have replaced the flogger with the knife he noticed on her belt. He raises his chin to the slightest degree, but his fingers remain laced behind his head and his back remains straight.
