The Tattle Tale
Chapter Six
"I didn't lie to you," she told me when I put the car in park in the driveway.
I looked at her strangely.
"The moment we walk in that house, he will have every opportunity to ask my permission to touch me. As soon as he has it, you will be following my direction, understood?"
I nodded.
She leaned over and pressed her lips against mine and placed her hand on the back of my head. When I moved to return the gesture, she pulled me closer and wrapped her other arm around me. We were soon making out like teenagers. In the middle of a flood of lustful thoughts I had about my new lover, I felt a tinge of love beginning to root in my soul. I could tell by the passion she displayed, that same seed had begun to grow in her.
We got out of the car and headed inside. Joey was finishing housework when I announced our presence. I went to the fridge and got all three of us a beer and took them, along with Melissa out back to relax on the patio furniture. Melissa and I sat in the lawn chairs, while Joey sat in the lounger.
"So," he started, unscrewing the cap from the bottle, "what did you two ladies get into today?"
When I didn't speak immediately, Melissa kicked my foot.
"Answer him," she told me.
"I'm sorry," I responded quickly, looking at her.
"Don't apologize to me. He's the one you disrespected."
I didn't. I knew I didn't, but she was training me to be obedient on demand and without question.
"I'm sorry, Joey," I said, locking eyes with him.
I could see that Melissa was watching him closely. I didn't know much about the lifestyle before Melissa took me as her own, but I'd learned enough to know that she was waiting to see if he would contradict her. I'm glad he didn't. She looked like she was happy with him as well.
"We talked a lot about our new arrangement. Melissa told me," I started when Melissa cut me off.
"I have a new rule for you," she told me. "You will call me Mistress from now on. Understand? You called me that before and I didn't think much of it, but it fits now and will even more so later."
I nodded and said, "Yes, Mistress."
I turned to Joey and continued my story, "We set our rules for each other, and she told me that collaring me so early could be seen as premature. To ensure neither of us would ever feel that way, we decided it to be symbolic. Instead, she let me pick out a decoration that she will hopefully one day adorn my collar with which will be permanent. I have to earn her wholehearted trust, though."
"That sounds nice," he said. "I couldn't help but wonder while I cleaned up how I fit into your new world, Kelly."
I didn't like how he said that. He made himself out to be some kind of victim or outsider. I dismissed it for the moment but intended to be on the lookout for indicators that he might very much feel that way. I went to speak but Melissa stopped me.
"Everything is as you suggested and as we have already discussed. When she is out with me, I will be sure to note her transgressions and bring them, and her, here to you. While she is out with me, she obeys me and follows my rules. When she is here alone with you, she obeys you and follows your rules. When we are both here together with her, we will work in concert to ensure we don't contradict each other and confuse her.
"I hope I can put you at ease by telling you that I readily agreed to all the rules she told me that you two set out. You and I just have to ensure we are on the same page."
Joey looked her in the eyes as he responded, "I can understand that, and I hate to be so direct, but do you intend to have sex with her?"
"Of course, I do," she replied quickly, "and
you
if that's something you're interested in. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear from the start. I intended to have sex with her the other night before things went bad. She came over yesterday, and we resumed where we left off."
"You just apologized. Here I was thinking I wouldn't get anymore of that out of you," he said with a smirk on his face. I noticed right away that he didn't make a gesture regarding her admission that she and I already had sex.
Melissa narrowed her eyes at him, also smirking. Something about how everything was turning out seemed right in that moment.
"I guess I did," Melissa said, "but you didn't tell me what you think about my intentions?"
"I'm interested in starting such a thing, but I will not commit to a long-term relationship. I have to ask, though, does this make you our girlfriend?"
I watched them go back and forth, happily anticipating a solid relationship between the three of us as the outcome.
"I would say it does and I agree with getting started cautiously. In that spirit, I will remind both of you that no matter what I am to you," she said, shifting her eyes from him to me then back to him, "I demand you always ask permission before touching me in any manner that is outside the bounds of casual necessity."
Joey looked at me and replied, "Of course. So, the conversation and the collar decoration were the extent of your outing today?"
I needed to test the boundaries.
"Yeah, that's pretty much it."
Melissa, stepping into her role at the tattle-tail, addressed that lie immediately.
"It seems Kitten doesn't want to tell you what she did in the restaurant," she said.
