You were sitting in the living room, playing one of your games on a game console. I didn't have a clue what it was called, neither the game, nor the console. I didn't like that kind of games, but preferred table top games. I was sitting in the garden, cross-legged on the grass, reading a novel while the spring sun was keeping me warm. One of our cats was lying next to me enjoying how I absent-mindedly stroked her back.
"Lorri, I would like a coke."
I sighed. I hated when you called me that, instead of calling me by my actual name Laura. For some reason, you always felt that on lazy days, like this one, I should get you anything you wanted so your day could be super lazy. You knew very well that I didn't like being referred to as 'Lorri', which was exactly the reason you used it when appealing to my submissive feelings.
Slowly I got up from the grass, making sure not to disturb the cat. When I looked at you through the open window, your expression made already clear that you thought I should be quicker. I didn't mind. I wanted to be back on the grass instead of serving you. It was moments like these that I regretted that I had ever consented to the relationship dynamic as it was now. When I walked past you, you looked at me over your shoulder.
"Bring me some of that cake as well."
I rolled my eyes when you looked away again. Yesterday you had decided that cake was required to celebrate the start of our holiday. You hadn't even intended to tempt me with it, knowing I was trying to loose weight. But since we now had the cake, you did like to tease me about it. I hurried to the kitchen in front of the house to get the coke and cake. When I returned to you, I kneeled next to the coffee table to put them down. I got up again to walk back to my spot in the garden, when you stopped me in my tracks.
"Lorri, you forgot to put a slice of lemon in the coke."
Crap! I'd forgotten you had brought lemons as well. This 'rule' you had introduced last summer, just after we moved into the house. Every spring and summer we would have lemons and your coke should always have a slice of lemon in it. I couldn't suppress a sigh. You got up from the couch faster than I'd ever seen and you were in front of me within seconds.
"Did you really just sigh?"
Your voice was low and demanding. In other situations my knees would get weak when you grunted at me like this. All I wanted today was to be back outside, reading in the sun.
"You heard it," I answered.
I didn't care how much trouble I would land myself in. I quickly walked past you, back to my spot in the garden.
Once I took my seat on the lawn again, I looked up to see where you had gone. I had expected to find you standing next to me, to tell me exactly how I was going to make up for it. Instead, I found that you had taken your seat in the living room again and, from what I could tell, you had resumed playing your game. Gosh, this might be worse than I'd expected.
I got up from the lawn when I was getting cold. The cat followed me into the living room and got comfortable in the window sill enjoying the setting sun. I continued to the kitchen to find you already chopping vegetables.
"Shall I take over?" I offered.
You put down the knife and turned away from the counter. I took the hint and continued cooking. Without saying a word, you returned to your video game in the living room. When I finished chopping the vegetables, I turned on the oven and put a pan on the stove to prepare the filling. I put the lasagna in the oven 30 minutes later and walked to the living room again.
"Would you like something to drink sweetheart?"
You looked up, staring at me until I got uncomfortable.
"Well? Why don't you answer my question?"
I lost my patience and cursed inwardly. You noticed and chuckled.
"What's up dear? Trying and failing to make up for your mistake this afternoon?"
I couldn't look at you, knowing very well that you enjoyed this very much. Too much for my liking.
"I'll have some wine when dinner's ready."
When I was on my way back to the kitchen, the doorbell rang. I went to check the door and found Dean standing outside.
"Hey Dean, I didn't know you were coming?"
You smiled at me and said, "Hey Laura, I didn't know either until this afternoon. Ray called me and asked if I would like to come over and stay the weekend."
If I wasn't worried before, I certainly was now. Dean was Ray's other submissive, but he was also a switch and they liked to team up against me now and then.
"Will you join us for dinner? We're having lasagna. Would you like something to drink?"
"Oh, I'd love to join for dinner Laura. I'll have a coke."
Point made, you would be dominating me as well sometime this weekend.
"Would you like a slice of lemon in you coke?"
Now I did remember!
"No, thanks. I'll be in the living."
With that, you walked away to greet Ray.
Once I brought you your coke, I returned to the kitchen to serve dinner. I set the table for three, poured red wine for each of us and put the lasagna in the middle of the table. Then I walked to the living room to tell you that dinner was served. Both of you sat down at the table and left me to serve the lasagna. I obliged your silent command. Then I sat down and made sure you both had started eating before I did. During dinner we made small talk.
