The allure of attending kink socials alone had begun to wane. I was a tidy third who could neatly be tucked in to someone else's fantasy but it was beginning to come at the cost of my own.
What had begun as a quest for adventure and authenticity had become a stage for performance and pretend. With each couple determined to out do the last with a cacophony of grunting and sighs to the detriment of anything true.
My hopes for something that captured my spirit were quietly dwindling.
I took a step back from the scene and reflected on it a while. The problem wasn't with them, It was with me. I wanted to feel more from the experience and few could fulfil it. I took my phone out of my pocket and typed a message to my Master.
'Would you take me to a dungeon social with you Sir...?' I lingered over the flashing cursor for a few moments before clicking send, sucking air in sharply through my teeth as I watched the double tick appear.
It wasn't often I would suggest a scene, moreover, take the liberty of circumventing his thoughts on my readiness. I held my breath for his reply.
'I'm a little apprehensive Pet, I'll admit. But OK. lets try it.'
I read his words, with terror and delight. I wasn't sure either.
A year and a half had passed since M had agreed to train me as his Pet and with every day my trust in his handling was becoming more embedded protocol than conscious choice.
It had been a journey to get there and his patience had run some mileage. I was grateful and indebted, hoping to make good on his investment.
With the date set, the evening came around quickly and at 5pm exactly I stepped out from the shower, towelled my smooth pink skin and began the ritual. First brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth, before scraping my hair back into a neat ponytail and running a sink of warm water. I drew a rubber bulb full and flushed myself clean before coating thick tapered steel with lube and penetrating my tightly closed asshole, savouring the now familiar dull, aching reminder of his ownership.
I lifted my collar and fastened it around my neck before unfurling a semi opaque bodystocking from my ankles up the length of my legs, across the narrow of my waist and to a full stretch over the top of my erect nipples. I looked in the mirror. Fully wrapped and visibly naked beneath.
A message tone interrupted my thoughts. It was from Him.
'Here is some protocol Pet;
Whenever my drink is not full you are to offer to refill it for me.
You will address me as Sir and if describing our relationship you should say that you are my Pet and I am your Owner, Sir, or often frustrated trainer.'
My phone pinged again.
'In a scene I would prefer 'Red' or 'Yellow' or if necessary I will place something in your hand for you to throw or drop.
Do your best to stand to my right when not facing me.
Lastly, I will assume that your outfit tonight includes your collar and plug.
See you soon.'
The message tones paused. As usual, I quietly delighted in his instruction.
'Yes Sir.' I replied and gathered my things to leave.
On arrival, we joined a quiet and cordial crowd in the basement of an old London townhouse. An exchange of opening pleasantries gave way to a rising feeling of terror within me as I realised that my Master was likely uninterested in abating our scenes to match the somewhat subdued mood.
He looked over and smiled, I excused myself quickly from the inquisitive company that had now gathered around me and scuttled over to fill his drink and place myself to his right.
Standing in the warmth of his shadow I listened as he introduced me for the first time as 'his.'
The words hit me like an explosion of colour. For some reason I hadn't anticipated the scenario or what the significance of it might feel like.
I was his. His in private and now his in public too. I stood there wordless for a few moments, glowing with the gift of recognition.
Interrupting my thoughts the Dungeon Master called us all to gather in a circle. We stepped away from the group and took a low bench, whereon M motioned for me to sit on his knee.
One by one the 14 or so of us gave a short profile of ourselves and as the openers reached me I looked at him to speak.
'Go on.' he said, 'You can introduce us Kitten.'
I looked up at the group.
'I am Flick, she/her and this is my Master, M. I have been to group gatherings a few times, but never with my Master. I'm excited to do this together and whilst I am normally watching I guess I will be doing as I am told this evening.'
I looked around the room to a sea of smiling eyes and quiet well wishing. It was cute. Well done me. I beamed at M and tilted my head coquettishly to signal a passing of the baton.
