It had been a month since Luisa and I had confessed our feelings for each other and following my suggestion, we hadn't switched roles yet, playing as Mistress and sub, although some vanilla sex was also on the menu. Due to a family issue, I had to travel back home for a fortnight which put our adventures on hold, although some long-distance play had carried on once or twice, such as when she sent me seductive photos of hers and ordered me to edge without climaxing.
When I returned to my base, the society was slowly opening up again, with restrictions gradually eased. As Luisa had been very eager to share the news of her new relationship with her circle, we were invited to a small house party organised by her best friend; I would normally avoid such an occasion at a Dutch household, but since they all knew that Luisa and I had been dating, they insisted that we showed up together.
I didn't take it very well since the party was on the same day that I returned but Luisa was head over heels about us attending as a couple; she thought it would be very snobbish of me to slide past it. Perhaps my reluctance was fuelled by a suspicion that me being introduced to her friends was somewhat premature - in reality, we had been properly together for about two weeks.
'You'll be rewarded for your patience, trust me,' she promised.
I arrived in Aachen at noon, after taking two flights and driving for an hour in rush-hour traffic through Dusseldorf. As my first flight had been a red-eye, departing Greece at six in the morning, I hadn't had much sleep so I went straight to bed. My alarm rang at six-thirty, I let Luisa know that I would show up on time and took a shower; quite frankly, I wasn't convinced that I could say no to any of her wishes, which, in a different situation, might have been a worrying sign.
Luisa had talked to me about her best friend, Sylvia, who had gone to law school and was now involved in her father's law firm, specialising in corporate litigation and handling some of the most high-profile firms in the south of the country. They had been friends since elementary school and therefore, nothing was off-limits as a discussion topic; I believed that Sylvia already knew about our kinky sex life since I knew about hers - she was submissive to her husband.
The dress code was supposed to be casual so I put on an olive-green shirt with black khakis. My eyes looked tired with dark rings starting to make their appearance, even after my afternoon nap, and my beard needed trimming but I was out of time. I grabbed a huge cup of coffee from a nearby Starbucks and set off, driving in appalling rain which made my wipers working overtime.
My tiredness, which was worsened by the conditions under which I drove the otherwise short distance to the Netherlands, was completely gone as soon as I picked up Luisa. I didn't drive to her home as she had gone to the city centre to grab a gift for Sylvia and her husband - a gift basket with wine, dried fruits and chocolate, as far as I saw.
She wore a fantastic long-sleeve bright red dress with a generous neckline, black opaque tights, and her leather ankle boots.
'I'm sorry I didn't wear pumps,' she apologised after we kissed. 'The cobblestone streets in the centre are very slippery when it rains and I didn't have my boyfriend to hold my hand.'
'You shouldn't have worn pumps anyway,' I argued, 'They wouldn't match your dress, and they would look weird in a casual party.'
She scoffed, 'Perhaps there is hope for you after all when it comes to fashion. In a year, you'll be giving me fashion advice.'
Sylvia lived in a suburban home just outside the city limits. Her wealth was evident as she could afford a detached home in one of the most coveted neighbourhoods in the whole region. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one that didn't speak Dutch at the party so we stuck to English - after a while, I didn't know whether it was for the better or worse; I might have preferred to stay mute for the whole evening. The food they had prepared was weird and even though I hadn't eaten all day, I couldn't swallow it. Luisa was evidently having a good time so I didn't want to be grumpy; she had already called me snobby when it came to her compatriots.
After a while, she came to the couch where I was sitting and lowered her head to my ear. 'Would you like to punish me for disobeying your instructions on shoes?'
I hadn't given her any instructions on shoes, I had just expressed my admiration for her high heels; Luisa was looking for ways to cheer me up.
'Now or when we get home?' I replied to her in German so the people opposite us couldn't understand.
'Now,' she insisted with a serious look in her voice.
She made up a story to Sylvia about me having an open wound after surgery that needed a fresh gauze. Sylvia eagerly explained where the upstairs bathroom was located so we could get there. We both apologised for the inconvenience we had caused and she assured us that we shouldn't worry. We thanked her, apologised again, to make our cover story as believable as possible, and went upstairs, with Luisa holding her handbag which supposedly contained the fresh gauzes.
We shut the bathroom door and I pushed her against the wall, kissing her passionately. 'God, I missed you,' she moaned when I moved my lips to her white soft neck. 'Tonight, and for as long as you want to, I'm your slave. I belong to you, Sir,' she added with a sigh. 'Please, punish me for not being an obedient girl.'
I opened a tap so the running water would mostly cover any other sounds. 'Pull down your tights and your underwear. Then lie on my lap,' I said strictly and sat at the edge of the bathtub.
'Yes, Sir,' she murmured and did as she was told.
Her pale arse was presented to all of its glory within moments. Before I began, I ran two of my fingers to her slit and realised she was soaked wet. 'I'll give you twenty, because it was the first time,' I announced and she nodded positively - I wanted so much to pull her hair and remind her to give vocal confirmation that she understood but I didn't want to ruin her hair for the rest of the evening.
She grabbed my left hand and took two fingers in her mouth, as a makeshift gag. Just a couple of the first hits were softer; afterwards, my right palm landed much harder on the white skin, giving it a reddish colour, and causing her to flinch. I could feel her teeth clasping on my fingers after some strong blows.
'Thank you, Sir, it was well-deserved,' she said after we were done.
She instinctively fell on her knees in front of me but I raised her and kissed her again deeply. I went to the sink to wash my hands and she fixed her knickers and her tights again. As I was drying my hands, she went in front of the mirror to fix her lipstick too. I slapped her once again on the bum, in a playful manner. 'Don't be late babe,' I said and left the bathroom first. Thankfully no one was eavesdropping unless the bathroom had been bugged.

My whole body was on fire, not just my bum. I wished Mike would have taken me right there in the bathroom - his touch on my wet lips had been electrifying. I wasn't in charge anymore though and it felt wonderful to give up control to him. My cheeks were red, like my dress, my pulse was elevated, and my pupils were dilated. If someone paid attention to my appearance, they wouldn't buy the excuse for our bathroom break and I was more than fine with it - actually, it would excite me further if someone knew that I had been spanked in the midst of a party.
We made our lie to Sylvia more believable when I joined Mike downstairs, explaining about his surgery that he undertook earlier that month which dealt with a coccygeal cyst; Sylvia's husband had a similar problem and he mentioned how much it had troubled him.
No other guests had left so I thought it would be rude for us to leave first, even though I was as aroused as ever. Mike seemed to be handling the situation much better - I think men tend to get aroused easier which gives them experience on how to deal with this in public.
'Can I talk to you for a second?' I interrupted his discussion with Sylvia's husband and some other bloke I had never seen before.
'Excuse me, be right back,' he said and followed me to the hallway.
'I want to fill my mouth with your cock, Sir,' I whispered in his ear and I could see him reacting instinctively, like a husky raising its ears when food's around.
'Remind me to punish you for your misbehaviour in public,' he replied and I nodded in agreement. He reached down and kissed my neck softly - I felt as if electricity ran through my body. 'We'll leave in ten minutes, tops. Be a good girl until then.'
I behaved, as I had been told to do by my owner, and miraculously, Sylvia prompted me to leave, 'He seems tired,' she said in private, when she asked me to help her with dessert in the kitchen, 'Go home now that he's still awake, I'm pretty sure you missed him those two weeks.'
With the host's green light, we left the house and decided to spend the night in my cramped studio flat in Maastricht instead of driving back to Germany. The weather hadn't gotten any better with thick fog, Mike's awareness had begun to fade, and I was too horny to spend that much time in the car. As I lived in a pedestrianised area of the city with a limited number of parking spaces for non-residents, we left the car at Sylvia's neighbourhood and walked for about ten-fifteen minutes. Before we did that though, he told me to get in the car to give me a present and pick up his small backpack.
'Open up the glovebox,' he said and pointed with his eyebrows.
I retrieved a thin and long box, like the ones they put wristwatches in. I took off the lid and saw a navy-blue leather collar with a gold-accented buckle and ring. 'There's this guy in Athens, he runs a small boutique with leather items and he makes custom accessories, collars, cuffs, harnesses. That's for you, sunshine.'
Naturally, I haven't been collared before like that, I had only tried the collar I've bought Mike when I played with myself. It was an elegant piece and for a moment I felt bad that the collar he wore when he submitted was bought from a pet-shop for less than twenty euros, while he had spent a considerable amount of money on me. The box was on my thighs and without thinking about it much, I lifted my hair with my right hand so my neck would be clear.
'There's no need to put it on in public,' he assured me.
I chuckled and said, 'Sir, I'd love to wear it in public. I can easily pull it off as part of my outfit, even if someone sees us which I doubt that late in the night.'
He nodded with a smile and took it in his hands.
'Tightly, please, Sir,' I requested, causing him a soft laugh; I knew he found my submissiveness amusing but also deeply satisfying. 'I have a present for you too, Sir,' I said once I was properly collared and handed him my worn knickers.
'I thought you had them on after your spanking.'
'I did,' I admitted, 'But then it hit me that pets should not wear underwear without the consent of their owner. So I went commando.'
