Chapter 2: Friday Afternoon
Mia sank into the huge chair by the window. The extra Β£25 for a first class ticket was definitely worth it. The carriage was clean and modern, and most importantly empty.
She then opened up her emails on her laptop. There was a few things from work which she needed to reply to. Then, she checked her email confirmation once more. Lastly, she gazed into TWR chat rooms. The organisers posted pictures showing them setting up the conference. Most rooms looked like typical conference rooms with the programmes on the corporate chairs and nibbles on the side of the room.
However, some rooms did not at all look like a typical at all. There were different rooms from an office room, a doctors room, a romantic getaway, a nursery style room, a classroom... Each room was completely unique, and Mia was impressed with the level of detail in each room. The only similarity between them was the blacked out windows for unsuspecting vanillas. She particularly liked the fact the rooms were so creative, it took some of the cringe out of role playing.
Nonetheless, her excited brown eyes were instantly drawn to the large "star" room with a huge St Andrews caused her to reflexively swallow. It stood proud in the centre of the dimmed room, surrounded by a wall of implements for any dominants disposal. In the picture were two dungeon masters, standing by the emergency by doors.
Mia recognised the purple uniform of the dungeon masters from the safety video she was required to watch as a newbie, so she knew who to go to if anything was needed. She also distinguished it from the white and black uniforms of the domestic team. Both the dungeon masters and domestic were all guests of TWR who paid for discounted tickets in exchange for shifts throughout the weekend. When she was at uni, this would have been a great way to afford to come to the conference!
"Are you safely on the train?"
Mia saw the little icon pop up. The green speech bubble flashed repeatedly. A new message from Liam.
"Yep." Mia typed her reply.
Liam was one of the attendees at TWR. According to his profile he was a twenty eight year old dominant from Oxford. Appearance wise, he had sandy blond hair and sea green eyes. He hasn't supplied more info then that until they had talked.
Even though she knew so much about him, she hadn't seen in his face. He was an electrician with very large hands to match. He owned his own business with a small team of staff meaning he rarely went out on walk calls nowadays. He loved sports, particularly football, and hanging out with friends. Aside from that, he refused to reveal much.
Similarly, he didn't know much about her. He had a few pictures of her excluding her face. He had politely complimented her waist beads. He said he had admired the twinkle of the red and gold beads around her waist. Mia had laughed and said it was okay to compliment elsewhere.
After telling her how trim her tummy was, wide her hips were and fuckable her arse was, Liam had told her off.
"Don't send identifiable picture such as those beads until you're certain you can trust them." He had admonished.
Mia had remembered her cheeks warming up. Idiot. "Thanks."
"Such a good girl. Whatever you choose this weekend, I want you to know that." Liam replied.
He was referring to the deal they had made. Since it was Mia's first time at a BDSM conference, and would be the first time meeting Liam, they had agreed she shouldn't send him a full body picture. So he had no idea of her face. Rather, she'd just explore and enjoy. If she naturally found him, that was fine. If they hadn't met by Saturday evening, he could introduce himself but she wasn't pressured to scene with him. Exclusively anyway.
"Thanks." Mia replied.
"What are you wearing?"
Mia sighed. She hated the bit of this conversation. She had already told hum that she didn't like. He said wardrobe control would be part of their routine, therefore she should start getting used to it. But, she just knew it didn't do anything for her.
"A navy hoodie and jeans. I've got a matching black bra and panties." Mia said. She loved the lingerie set she was wearing today. It made her feel sexy, divine which was the confident boost for doing something like this.
"Don't wear black again. It doesn't suit your skin tone." Liam replied.
"Sorry."
"It's okay. I want you to make it up to me by slapping your nipples. I don't care under your jumper is fine. You don't have to take it off."
Mia sighed heavily, rolling her eyes. She absolutely hated self punishments. In the past month they had been talking, she just couldn't wrap her head around it. How could you trust someone to do it without any evidence? How do you know they are going hard/ sharp enough? It just felt like a cop out to her.
Mia didn't even bother. She never did. She wasn't an exhibitionist and more importantly she wasn't getting kicked out of first class carriage for rubbing her nipples in public. Liam could just wait a little bit.
She stared mindlessly outside at the passing countryside. The green meadows allowed her to relax and temporarily forget about her nerves. Due to work, she barely got time to enjoy the breath taking English scenery.
She had promised herself this weekend would all be about enjoying herself. TWR would have great food, demonstrations and products which would be fun. She had always wanted to go to munches but her erratic shifts at work made it difficult to be available on the right day. Maybe a dedicated weekend was what she needed... On a deeper level, she just wanted to address her questions to another submissive. She just wanted to pick someone's brains about all the naughty feelings in her head.
Obviously, she'd love to instantly click with someone. But, if Liam was anything to go by it would take time to have their kinks align and discussed.
The dominant in her head would have approached things differently if they were at TWR. He would always have such a commanding presence, with an easy confidence which made her shiver.
If he wanted to punish her, in this situation, he would have made her take off the offending black lingerie. He'd have complimented her properly, not just skipped to the punishment aspect. Maybe, he would have made her wear all white lingerie. There were so many beautiful materials like lace, satin or silk. It would be an angelic white would compliment her skin in a warm way. It would be paired with a gorgeous pair of black stilettos which matched her black collar. Mia adored having smoothly shaven legs and his hands could inspect the hairless calves. The leash she wore, would dangle beside it. Normally, she'd never wear a leash but as it was a punishment she'd hear the cool metal clip around her neck.
He would know that she would feel a little bit shy. They would have extensively discussed their limits and he wouldn't go beyond them. She trusted him to respect her. So, she wouldn't hesitate as he'd blindfold her, so she couldn't see all the wondering eyes, but he'd be there the whole time. He'd always keep her close. Even though she couldn't see, she knew he'd always be watching her. His eyes would be a mix of adoration, arousal and also protectiveness. One hint of subdrop and the punishment would stop.
Then, they'd go to dinner together with all their friends. He'd be fully addressed, it was a punishment after all. But, he'd wear something sharp so she wouldn't feel self conscious. In this scenario, she imagined him wearing his favourite black watch paired with, a crisp white shirt paired and navy trousers. She was worth the effort, despite the uncomfortable bulge at the front of his trousers that wouldn't go away. Until he fucked her.
If she was good, the punishment would just be the remainder of her meal in her outfit. Her leash dropped by her side with her mystery dominant, he'd spend the night stroking her hair and feeding her. But, if she continued to act up, the remaining aspects of her clothes would be removed and the leash yanked...
Mia's eyes flickered back onto her laptop screen. That was an in person fantasy. It was not fair to compare her fantasies to the online reality in front of her. So, she replied. "Thank you for punishing me Liam."
Maybe it would be better in person. Maybe they would have insight into all the things she had dreamt of. It would be so nice to validate her emotions with praise. She wanted praise heaped on her. She needed her dominant to hug her close, stroke her hair.
"You're welcome Mia. Get some sleep."
She imagined his voice being firm, unyielding. Mia didn't need to be told twice. She put her laptop away and closed her eyes. Her dreams drifted to the cool blue eyes of Liam.
