Before I know it, we are back in the front of the shop. 'Join me for lunch here on Saturday.' It's not a request. I nod nervously, not quite sure how to take my leave. You lean forward and kiss me on my forehead. I exit the shop. Looking back over my shoulder, I see you leaning against a desk, your arms folded, watching me. The chill air bites into me, and I pull my coat around me as I head home... my mind is in chaos, my body fizzing with excitement, anticipation, and uncertainty.
The days crawl by until Saturday. I am tempted to drop into your shop so many times, but I do not. Finally, the day arrives. I dress carefully, not sure what to expect, but I select beautiful lingerie--seamed nude Gio stockings with my favourite suspender belt and a purple wrap dress that clings in all the right places. I am so nervous. You didn't specify what time lunch is, so I opt for a 1 p.m. arrival.
I enter your shop just a few minutes before 1. The door to your workshop is ajar, and I can hear the sound of activity from within. I don't even know your name. I knock gently at the door and wait. You open the door and hold out your hand.
"James... and you are?"
I stammer my name, and we shake hands. You smile wolfishly as I walk in. There are some big wooden barrels on one side of the workshop. You have thrown over a tablecloth and have a selection of meats, cheeses, olives, crusty sourdough, and a wonderful red. We sit and eat, chatting easily in each other's company... occasional pauses where I am acutely aware of your presence, knowing that you want me, what you want to do to me. I have butterflies and feel my heart racing at the prospect of what is to come.
I have no idea what you may be into... this is happening backwards. At this stage, I should have been communicating with someone before meeting. I don't want someone into canes or tawses. I wanted to experiment with a particular Dom type, and I have no idea what you are, who you are. I squirm in my seat, thinking of how crazy this is, but I can't do anything else but be here.
