Master is going to be holding a party on Saturday night and the sub is excited: she had been quite good this past while and this would be a reward. Master will be inviting only a dozen or so people, singles and couples, and only his closest friends. It should be interesting because some are from his BDSM 'club' and some aren't. she is anticipating watching the strange repartee that she's sure will be going on. Master has also given her permission to serve at this party as his hostess, wearing the most beautiful gown he helped her pick out. she remembers the fun they had going from store to store with him watching her try on and model outfits. she chuckles as she recalls the boyish excitement he portrayed...so different from the sedate businessman the public knows, and the stern but caring Master the public doesn't know.
Saturday finally arrives and with it comes the flurry of activity necessary for a successful party. All the final cleanings and touch-ups have been done and she is now putting the final touches on her own toilette. she had already assisted Master with his bath and dress ensuring that he looked the savoir-faire gentleman that she knows he is. she has had a new hairdo for the evening, the makeup and nails are just right, and she has donned the gown over the new matching corset and garter. In the mirror is a sight to behold.
The bathroom door opens quietly behind her and there in the mirror she sees her Master staring at her reflection. He kisses her neck and tells her that she is beautiful and will be a stunning hostess to his guests. He turns her around and shows her the bauble he had picked out for her just that afternoon. It turns out to be a new collar, lacy gold filigree with a small ruby in the centre. Delicate and ornamental yet, because it is a collar, clasped with a tiny padlock in the back. He places it around her neck and locks it. They are ready to meet the guests.
The party is a smashing success. The caterers had provided a wondrous spread, the pianist is superb, and the wine is flowing freely. The guests are all behaving themselves and no one is the wiser as to what his conversation partner does in the privacy of his own home. At one point, Master catches his sub's eye and gives a nod: she knows what to do. she excuses herself from her partner and heads upstairs to the master bedroom to prepare. she opens the door connecting the ensuite and turns on the nightlight in there. In the bedroom she lights the candles, ignites the incense and puts the black silk coverlet on the bed. she undresses and puts away her gown, leaving on the corset and garter, stockings and heels, and of course the collar. she picks her other items out of the dresser and lays them on the bed beside her, then sits and waits.
