She stood in her kitchen, whiskey in her hand listening to Sinead O'Connor flooding the air. She had been working 14-hour days and it was the first moment she'd stood still in weeks. She took a swig of her crown royal, and as it slid down her throat, she tore the elastic out of her hair that was holding it up off her face in a tight bun.
She closed her eyes and sighed as her black hair fell ending halfway down her back, she undid the buttons of her white blouse with the same hand that held the elastic. Her hands threw the blouse off her shoulders and onto the counter. She emptied her glass and refilled it in one motion, her years of bartending seeping into the pour.
Her laptop sat open next to the stove, the screen saver flashing a full harvest moon over the lake she spent her summers at as a child. Then to a scene of the same spot in the fall, winter then spring. It was on a continuous loop. She stared and sipped and then lit a smoke.
She was bored, and she hated being bored. Even the pictures that flashed as her memories retreated were no longer soothing.
She hit the space bar, and found some music to play through the headphones she pushed into her ears and halting Sinead.
Bob Dylan radio mumbled into her ears as she went to her favorites bar in her browser. Naughty by Nature was at the top of the list, and gratefully her username and password were saved.
Her profile pic was a simple Celtic cross and crow; and she was a member of mostly bondage chat rooms. In this world she was Venus X. Venus visited the rooms nightly but had only a handful of playmates that she met irl.
She liked the anonymity the site offered, and she was always sure to do a lot of background searches and vetting before she ever met anyone in person. Her role as one of the leading journalists of the most frequently visited news sites in north America, she needed to be certain her identity remained private.
No one she met had any idea who she was or what she did for a living. They were brought to her abode by her drivers in completely darkness...it was the only time they wore the blindfold.
She scanned the chatrooms and found the BDSM284; a random room her friends often frequented. She watched the names scrolling the screen. Centur101 and 321Bishop bantered as UniSax and ButtNut teased. Venus was looking for Zenith or 321Bishop; they knew her and knew what she wanted and how to give it to her. They also didn't know her and had easily signed nondisclosure agreements before even getting into the car she sent to pick them up.
Zenith was her favorite. Before he got in the car, he would send her clear instructions. What outfit to wear, whether underwear was necessary, where and how she should be positioned. She loved how direct and clear he was. She hated, how often she was required to blindfold herself, half naked, exposed, and just wait for him. She'd have some idea of how long it would take for him to get there, but he would frequently make her wait. Or at least it felt so. That's who she'd hoped was hanging out and free tonight.
She sent Zenith a private message, and he quickly responded.
They had an agreement, for him to be her master, but only upon her request. Not many dominants were willing to participate in such an arrangement; with her as the sub deciding when and where they would play. But Zenith was good with it, for a price.
Although these were social connection sites, she knew she was asking for a service, that Zenith was excellent at providing and she was okay with paying whatever he asked. He was worth it.
He agreed to come over, and as she wasn't scheduled for work until Monday morning she was able to hire him as her master for the next 24 hours. Her pussy throbbed as they confirmed the arrangement. She poured another crown and slid her other hand under the camisole across her hardening nipples.
As she pinched her nipple between her nails, she watched the ellipsis dart across the screen; the anticipation of his directions caused her to hold her breath. She switched nipples and allowed two shots of crown down her throat as his directions appeared on the screen.
"Good evening Venus -- I am eager to eat your pussy this evening darling, my cock is hardening at the thought of your taste. Please know that for the next 24 hours you will be under my care and command. As previously discussed, you will only speak when spoken to, you will address me as sir, and do as ordered without complaint. If you do choose to disobey me, there will be consequences, which will be of my choosing at whatever time I deem necessary.
After you finish reading your instructions you will immediately:
Shower and shave, your pussy will be groomed as you know I like it. You are to wash only while naked, no pleasuring yourself, remember I am always watching. You are to dress in your black silk shorts and matching tank. Your hair will be pulled back in a high ponytail. You are to kneel at the end of your bed blindfolded and waiting.
I will arrive in approximately 60 minutes; I expect you to be prepared in 25. You are to kneel and wait with your knees spread and leaning back. Hands behind your back.
Understood?
