i'm called into my bosses office on Friday afternoon. He knows i have a tight schedule each week but asks if i can clear my calendar for a couple of days next week for a meeting with our largest client. He says i should only be gone Friday through Monday and the company is taking care of all expenses. Reluctantly i agree and rush back to my desk to start making cancelation calls for next week.
i'm told it's in a smaller town up north a couple of hours away. i was given the name of the hotel where the company is putting me up and the name of the conference facility, that's it. Great job travel department. Not knowing this place at all, i call Him because He is the only person i know who lives there. It's been years since we've spoken and i'm not even sure if the number i have for Him is correct anymore. What do i say if He answers? My stomach starts to get butterflies as my mind floods with memories of our time together. i bite my lip and hit send on my cell.
It rings several times and i start to feel relieved that i'll get His voicemail.
Suddenly a familiar voice answers with a smoldering "Well hello subbie."
His words are like a slap and rattle me to my core, as no one has ever called me that but Him. It seems His caller ID is still programmed with my number.
"Hello," i manage to get out.
"What's up?" He doesn't sound at all surprised to hear my voice.
As i gain my composure, i blurt out "my company is sending me up your way for a couple of days and i don't know where i'm going or what to do with the 3 full days i will be up there."
There is a long pause on the other end of the phone. Finally after a drawn out silence He asks "So you'd like me to help you?"
i can hear the pleasure in His voice trying to coax the request from me.
"Yes," i say.
Why am i so tongue-tied?
"Well then you'll have to ask me specifically what you need my help with and you have to ask nicely," He chuckles.
"i'd like you to help me figure out how to get to my hotel, the conference center where the meetings will be held, and what i can do with my free time when i'm not in meetings."
There i said it.
"Ah," He says. "Ok, I can help you with that. Now you have to ask me properly."
A shiver runs up my spine. Immediately i know what He's looking for and i'm overcome with embarrassment.
i take a deep breath and ask "please Sir? Will you help me while i'm in town next week?"
"Good girl," He says.
i haven't heard those words in years and yet they send me back instantly.
"Give me the name of your hotel and conference center."
i do and He gives me easy directions to both.
"Tell me the schedule of your three days here and be specific."
i run down my itinerary with Him and hear Him scratching notes as He listens. He tells me that He will meet me at my hotel on Friday at exactly 6pm. i am to be ready to go and He will escort me to dinner and be my chaperone for the 3 days. My pulse raises and I can't think.
"Yes, ok, thank you."
With my head still spinning, i hear His voice come through one last time.
"Thank you, what?"
Without hesitation i reply, "Thank you Sir." And with that the conversation ended.
my mind is racing. What have i done? Should i have even called Him? Each time we've met since our parting of ways has been a tornado of sexual desire and a renewal of the Dom/sub roles that we shared during our relationship. Since then we both have dated other people, but for some reason we've never been able to escape the shadow of our D/s selves. It's done now and He's going to be there Friday, so i'm going to go and leave my expectations at home. It will be nice, if nothing else, to see an old friend.
i'm a frazzled mess. i'm in this conference room trying desperately to focus on the presentation and all i can do is think about meeting Him tonight. This is so unlike me. I'm so professional, put together, clear-headed. my brain is swimming with thoughts of being dominated by Him and all that entailed. He was my one and only Dom. What we shared was the most amazing experience and it changed me for a lifetime. Mercifully, the meeting i'm in is ending with handshakes and promises to meet again in 2 days to go over the final details. i head down to my car and check my watch. It's after 5 and i don't have much time. i pull out the directions He gave me to the hotel. I hurriedly park and check in. The front desk staff gives me my key card and I race to my room. It's after 5:30 and i still have to freshen up. i drag my carry on bag up to my room and throw it on the bed. i unzip it and look for the dress i had planned to wear tonight. I begin to peal the layers of my suit off and as i'm pulling my legs out of my pants, a knock at the door. my eyes dart to the clock beside the bed and it says 5:45. He's early!
i yell "i'll be right there!"
He calls back, "Open the door now."
i shudder. i creep toward the door and open it a crack. He pushes it open the rest of the way and stands in the doorway taking the sight of me in with an unforgiving stare. I'm standing in front of him in a white lace bra and thong panties, with my arms crossed trying to cover myself, to no avail.
"Am i early?"
He asks with a smile laced with sarcasm. i can't respond. I'm frozen where i stand just looking at Him.
"Aren't you at least going to ask me in?"
Seeing my deer in the headlights look, He steps forward into the room and closes the door behind Him, place us mere inches from each other. Still words cannot escape me and in a second i feel His hand come around the back of my head as He pulls me roughly against Him and kisses me deeply.
He breaks our kiss briefly to breathe into my ear.
"Are you still an anal slut?"
My heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest. After seconds of silence, He grasps my face in His hand and turns it to face Him directly and waits for my answer. As i stare into His eyes, He knows the answer but still wants me to say it out loud.
