During the half hour drive to Naomi Hardy's Palmdale home, Mark thought about the long list of things that could go wrong. He finally came up with one positive thought. Given the venue, it was unlikely that he'd be served discount liquor.
Turning onto her street, his upscale expectations were exceeded by the kind of elegance that can't be store-bought. Arriving at her address, he couldn't see the home from the street. A short drive took him over a crest, from there he could see the house and, as expected, several parked cars.
When Amy had told him that the meeting started at 7:30, he had made an excuse why he couldn't be there until after 8. It was about 8:10, enough time for the ladies to be on their second or third cocktail. At least they'd be loose. He wished that he had something for his jitters.
The only thing less likely than having been invited to the meeting, was the person who delivered the invitation. Amy worked for the same firm, and they were friendly, but besides casual meetings in the hallway or lunchroom, he usually didn't see much of her. She worked at remote sites most of the year. When she was at home, she was in meetings that didn't involve him. Strikingly attractive, he fantasized that someday she'd wear something sexier than her "auditor's uniform" - typically, a navy blazer over an oxford shirt and mid length khaki skirt.
Late last week, when she sat down at his lunch table, he was surprised that she was in civilian attire, wearing a form fitting floral print dress, it's hemline higher than he would have expected, and a daringly low neckline - at least, for a CPA. He was cautiously checking out her features, when something she said snapped him to attention.
He was astonished to find out that Amy knew his former girlfriend Marcia, and stunned that Marcia had told her about their lifestyle. The explanation didn't make him happier, but at least it made sense.
Earlier in the month, they had seen each other at their college reunion. At school, they had been close, but since then had lost contact. They were dismayed to discover that for the past three years - until Marica moved to the west coast - they'd been living only about 10 miles apart.
Later, after they had had a few drinks - well, maybe more than a few - Marcia confided that she had evolved into a submissive. It wasn't until later that they figured out that Amy knew Mark, and by then, it was too late to put the cat, or any of the other BDSM gear, back into the bag.
Apprehensive, Mark wondered where the conversation was heading.
Amy told him about a book club that she belonged to. After several ho-hum novels, someone had suggested reading some "mommy porn". Though titillated, most of the group didn't believe much of the premise - that is, until Amy announced that she knew a Dom. She had been drafted into asking him to be a guest at the next meeting. Could he make it?
It would have been easier for him to say "no" if Amy hadn't been whispering - which made sense given the topic. But, by bending over to get closer to his ear, she was also giving him a perfect view down her dress. He wondered if he should look away, but decided that a quick peek wouldn't hurt. Any choice in the matter evaporated when he saw the nearly sheer black bra decorating her exquisite breasts. He was hooked before she ever asked the question.
