I went to bed with my mind racing. All kinds of crazy thoughts were flying around in my head as I lay there, and all of them were the result of having Eve fall into my. She had been so completely modified by some guy named Rob that I was pretty horrified. The problem was that, if I were being completely honest, I was disgusted with myself for how turned on it all made me. Shit. I felt like such a complete asshole. At some point in the night I guess I finally fell asleep, because I woke to the smell of coffee. And right then Eve surprised me as she walked in with a cup. Wow. She was captivating.
"Good morning!" she said with a smile as she handed the coffee to me.
I took the cup of coffee and took a sip while I tried to hide my morning wood under the blankets. She kindly ignored my efforts as she went to pull the drapes back a bit. With the room better lit, I could see her better. She was so exotically beautiful. Maybe erotically beautiful would be more accurate. All I could think of was to stop staring at her. Fuck. So I looked at my coffee and took another sip. "Wow, you make a great cup of coffee, Eve. And good morning."
Eve looked directly in to my eyes and said, "I really don't mind if you look at me. I know it might hard for you as I look so... well... changed, but I hope you can relax and we can be friends... or maybe, eventually, more than friends." She trailed off. "I really need your help, and I want to make sure you like me and want me around."
Wow. Well, that was straight to the point.
She looked uncomfortable, then said, "Bo, I need to tell you something. I feel bad that I wasn't completely honest with you last night. Maybe you need to know that Rob owned me. I was his slave. I was never his girlfriend. Maybe that changes things."
I sat in stunned silence for too long before saying, "Is that what you're looking for? Do you want a new Master? I would think you'd be pretty well over that after your experience. Don't you want to live your life without someone imposing their shit on you?"
She stood very still and looked very uncomfortable.
"Eve... seriously... I need you to talk to me." But after an uncomfortably long pause I shook my head and said, "Fine. Let me get some clothes on and I will come out to the kitchen and we can talk over some breakfast. Ok?"
Eve looked sad, or maybe concerned, and nodded, "Ok."
As she walked out the door she pulled it closed behind her. I let out a big sigh, and took another sip of the coffee. Coffee makes everything better. How did she make coffee taste so much better than mine? How could she be so fucking hot AND make such great coffee?
I crawled carefully to the side of the bed and set my cup on the end table. I hit the bathroom, then pulled some jeans and a t-shirt on. As I got to the door of the bedroom I stopped and tried to collect my thoughts for a second before I went out to the kitchen. How did I get in to this position? I was just trying to help. Last night seemed like such a confused whirlwind. Between being burnt out by the work-week, and then with meeting Eve, I was feeling completely undone. By the time we got back to my place, things had really spun out of control. I didn't have a clue how I could help her, but I also knew I couldn't throw her out. By the sound of things, she really had no place to go here in town and I really didn't even know if she had any other options. I opened the door and walked down the hall.
As I entered the great room Eve was just coming around to sit at one of the places she had set at the breakfast counter. She was dressed exactly as she had been last night.
"Eve, do you have a change of clothes in your bag? I really didn't feel comfortable undressing you last night."
"I didn't take the time to grab much, but I did grab a few things. Rob has cameras throughout the house and he watches me when I move around, even when he's not there. So I had to pack my bag as quickly as possible and then make a run for it. I grabbed my purse, some toiletries, the antibiotic ointment for my new... for the new work Rob had done. I did manage to grab an extra bra and a few blouses and skirts. There are a couple of other things, but it doesn't matter," she said evasively.
"Do you have the key for your shoes, or your chastity plate?"
"No. Rob is the only one with those keys. If there are spares, he hid them in his office where I was not allowed. He always kept that room locked and forbid me from going in there. So no, I don't have a way to take my shoes off or to remove my chastity plate. Sorry Bo." Eve once again looked embarrassed and downcast.
"Why are you sorry for that? It's not your fault. It sounds like you were pretty brave to get out and make a run for it. Jesus Eve, I'm glad I was there and you found me, because you could have really gotten in to trouble if you'd come across the wrong person."
She looked at me and smiled. "You're the right person. I know it." She put her hand on my arm as I started to object. "I know you're freaking out, Bo. I get it. I would be too. But, you're a good man and I feel so, so lucky to have found you. Like you said, if I had found the wrong guy, and had gone home with him, I could be in real trouble right now. But I'm not in real trouble. You're the right man, and I trust you. I'm just sorry to be such a bother." And then she leaned in and kissed me on the cheek and gave me a completely wonderful hug.
Well shit. I looked at the breakfast she had made, and took a deep breath. It was an excellent breakfast with eggs, spinach, a little parmesan cheese, and a nice, toasted english muffin. Damn, it smelled great. I took a bite and she smiled at my expression. "Do you like it?"
"Wow. That is really good." I turned to look at her as I chewed.
"I found your herbs and spices in the cupboard and then I looked in the fridge for the rest of the ingredients. You're actually pretty well stocked for a bachelor!" Eve smiled and beamed at me. What a million dollar smile. Whew! Get ahold of yourself, Bo!
She began eating and I asked her, "Eve, I have no idea how to help you, but we should really make a little bit of a plan. Do you have any family I can help you get in touch with? Or maybe you know someone in the area who could lend a hand? Someone you know who you'd feel comfortable with?" She began shaking her head. "Nobody?"
"No. My family, or what's left of them, are way out in southeast Oregon, over by Burns. The little town we were closest to has pretty much dried up and blown away. Dad still lives out there on the ranch, but he's trying to drink himself to death, and Mom's gone. My brothers all left and moved out to the Midwest or the Southeast. The folks out there can have them. When my oldest brother tried to rape me I left. If I saw him and had a gun, it would be hard for me not to shoot the shit head... sorry."
"Eve, what can I do, today, to make you more comfortable or... I don't know... whole? I have one day off of work and we should really take advantage of it." I really wanted to start with the basics and see what I could do to make her feel comfortable, safe and clean. "Should we remove your chastity device? That seems like a good place to start. Should we get you some comfortable clothes? I suppose we should also remove the locks on the shoes so you can shower."
She smiled and said, "Bo, you are so sweet. Thank you for thinking of my needs. I guess it would be nice to have the locks removed from my pussy and my shoes. To be very truthful with you, I haven't walked without heels in more than a year. For much of that time I slept with them locked on. Rob loved to see me wear them, and I have become very accustomed to them. But I haven't cleaned my lady parts in a few of days. So maybe we could start with removing the locks, so I can get a shower and clean up a bit? I think there are 5 locks down there in my girl parts."
"Right. After breakfast we can start with that." I said with a smile.
Once we were done eating, Eve took my plate and cleaned everything, washing things and loading the dishwasher. She was amazing to watch as she moved about so gracefully, even in her towering heels, smiling and giving me furtive looks. Then when she was done she walked around to where I was sitting. "Thank you for being so kind. I really appreciate what you're doing. And I'm sorry that I don't have anyone else to ask for help. I know that would make things easier. But right now I just need you to know that I intend to do everything I can to reward you for being my White Knight. You really are my hero."
