It was Thursday before Ryan met up with his girlfriend Nikki again. She had cleared her work for the week during the previous two days when Ryan had been in London and was planning a leisurely day in his apartment, the main priority being to catch up on exactly what had taken place after Ryan had described it as intense on a call the night before. Ryan was almost two weeks into a four-week arrangement with an online dominant, during which he was expected to serve as a submissive. If he completed a series of tasks his Master was giving him, the Master had agreed to release Nikki from her arrangement as his online submissive, allowing Nikki to serve a female dominant she had met and who lived nearby.
Settling onto the sofa with a cuppa in her hand, Nikki beckoned to Ryan to sit next to her which he did gingerly. He then proceeded to recount the events of the last two days. It had only been a few weeks since Nikki had confessed to her submissive tendencies, and they had both agreed that whatever happened from that point on they were going to be 100% honest with each other. So, Ryan went through the details of the photo shoot with a new model, Carly, his mysterious message from the Master that had led him to a chambers run by a professional dominatrix, having to strip for her to have his ass beaten and then being pegged for the first time, before discovering that Carly also had dominant tendencies that had led to her contacting the Master. The last she had said to him as they had parted was that the Master liked the idea of Carly being involved for the remaining two weeks of the arrangement.
'Come on then, show me your ass. Let's see if it is as bad as mine was after that first night with Mistress,' Nikki asked, putting her cup of tea down and turning to face her boyfriend. Ryan rose from the sofa and turned away from Nikki, pulling down his shorts and pants to reveal a bottom covered with horizontal welts. They were no longer red but gave a clear indication of the ferocity of the beating he had taken at the hands of the dominatrix.
Nikki asked lots of questions. How he had felt as the various things had happened to him and whether he had ever thought of using a safe word and calling a halt to proceedings. She was particularly interested in his mindset, especially on hearing that he was now firmly convinced he too was submissive by nature. She also paid particular attention to what had happened with Carly on the Tuesday evening, which culminated in Nikki pulling quite a face when she heard about Ryan washing a naked Carly in the shower. Nikki asked to see a picture of Carly and Ryan showed her some of the photos from the shoot on which they had met, which had been for a lingerie company. Nikki commented on how pretty Carly was, which prompted Ryan to reassure her that he was not about to ditch her and move in with the model.
'Babe, you have to believe me, I love you. You don't think I would keep up this game with the Master if I was about to leave you, do you? I'm doing this for you, so you can be with your Mistress. I may be starting to develop submissive tendencies, but I still don't really know what that means going forward. The one thing I do know is that I'd much rather serve a woman than a man,' he said, trying really hard to convince his slightly sceptical girlfriend.
'I bet you would. Especially if your Mistress looks like that and you get to shower with her!' Nikki waved her hand at the tablet that had displayed the images of Carly.
'That's not fair. Anyway, look what happened to you on that weekend with the Mistress. Sucking off a guy in the sauna and then giving yourself to four complete strangers. And sauna guy was an athlete, wasn't he? I bet he'd welcome you with open arms if he can expect that sort of service on a regular basis.' He tried his best not to get angry or make his comments sound like an accusation, holding her gaze until Nikki blinked and looked at the floor.
'Look Nikki. We knew this was going to take us somewhere dark as soon as you agreed to serve the Mistress that weekend our little online fantasy became a very physical reality. Now I've experienced the same, I think I have a bit of an idea of how you're feeling when you serve her. You get that buzz don't you? It's such a feeling, there's nothing else like it. But it can't last forever and when all that excitement has gone away, when the endorphins have evaporated and everyone has had their way with you, I'll be there for you to come home to because I love you. All I ask is that if you do ever develop feelings that might threaten what we have, you tell me OK?' He looked at Nikki who was a little teary, but she nodded her head gently.
'I know exactly what you mean. I'm so glad you understand me,' she replied, moving to hug him as they sat on the sofa. 'I don't want to lose you Ryan, but I can't stop this. Not yet.' She looked up at him. 'Do you hate me for that?'
'God no. I love that you're being honest and that you are brave enough to see where this could lead. And I'm so grateful to the Master for making me truly experience those same feelings. Now listen. There is no way I am going to leave you for Carly. Yes, she is beautiful, but so are you. And she's just too thin for my taste. I love your body and I adore feeling all those curves.'
'That's the nicest way anyone has ever told me that I'm fat!' Nikki said, laughing as she did so.
'I hope you're joking,' he replied, also breaking into a grin. 'I don't know what's next. Hell, none of us do. You want to serve the Mistress, but you've no idea what that means. How much of your time will she expect? Where will it leave us? How do I fit in? What if I do develop a D/s relationship with Carly? I don't even know where she lives. We need to get through the next two weeks and then have some grown up conversations, with Carly and with the Mistress, to try and work all this out.'
'And talking about the next two weeks, what about all your daily tasks? Have you kept those going?' she asked once she was reasonably convinced that Ryan still fancied her.
'Well I was given a free pass on Tuesday. Yesterday I did them when I got back. I haven't done today's yet,' was his summary of the situation.
'Maybe now would be a good time?' Nikki suggested. 'I quite like the idea of watching you take that dildo in the ass. Who knows, I might even pick up some tips!'
Ryan disappeared to the bedroom. When he returned he was naked, carrying his phone and a seven inch dildo. His first daily task was to practice a series of submissive poses, holding each for one minute. Then he had to repeat the pose of the day for three minutes, take a picture of himself in the pose and send it to the Master. Whenever Nikki was with him, she had taken to using the camera on his phone and recording the image. As she was doing so, Ryan standing in front of her with his legs shoulder length apart and his hands behind his head, she marvelled at the fact he was now wearing the chastity cage all day every day.
