The next morning, Sarah's alarm clock, set at an impossibly early time, cruelly wakes me from my slumbers. She has to head out of town for two days of client meetings and will not be back until very late Friday evening. In a sudden bout of groggy solidarity, I get up as well. We have no time for friskiness, unfortunately, so I make us breakfast using the limited contents of Sarah's fridge and cupboards while she showers, gets dressed, and packs her suitcase.
We then have some time together at the breakfast table. We drink her horrible instant coffee and eat some all-time breakfast classics: toast with scrambled eggs and toast with marmalade.
"What will you be doing while I am out?" Sarah asks me.
"Apart from pining for your return, you mean? Work, I guess. There is teaching to prepare, and I have a class on Friday. And there is a deadline for a grant proposal coming up." The main task of any scientist is securing funds for the actual sciencing, so there's always a deadline for a grant proposal looming on the horizon to keep me occupied. "Oh yes, I'm going out with the lads tonight for a pint, maybe catch a film. Don't worry, I won't be bored without you. I might miss you though," I tell her honestly.
"I will probably be so busy, I'll hardly have time to breathe, let alone miss you," she teases me. "Oh shit, is that the time? I need to run!"
And then there's just enough time for a long-drawn-out kiss before she makes her way to the train station. While I clean up our breakfast, make her bed and air her bedroom, and then let myself out, I feel exhilarated but also slightly anxious. Two nights together and already I am head over heels... My phone pings. I check WhatsApp and find a message from Sarah: "Missing you already" and a heart emoji. I feel my heart do a somersault and immediately write back.
Mid-morning, at work, there's another message.
"Keep thinking about last night -- Already had to go wank in the loo once." Blushing face emoji, drops of water emoji, heart emoji.
I type my answer right away. "You naughty minx. If I'd caught you masturbating, I'd have given you the punishment you deserve..." Hand emoji, peach emoji, blowing a kiss emoji.
Her answer follows immediately. "Am I not allowed to masturbate, Sir?" Shocked face emoji -- you know, the wide-eyed one, and a crying emoji.
"Oooh, an invitation to play," I think, and there is a flutter in my stomach. "You're allowed to masturbate, pet," I write back. "But you will have to tell me you're doing it. No masturbating in secret."
"No masturbating without permission. Yes Sir." Saluting emoji.
No masturbating without permission? That's not what I said, I think to myself. I decide to let it slide. If Sarah wants to up the ante, I can certainly live with that.
The rest of the day goes by uneventfully. I try to keep my mind on my work, and there is indeed a lot to do. I keep checking my phone for more messages about masturbating or other subjects from Sarah, but I know it's useless. She'll be stuck in meetings all day.
Early evening, when I have just finish eating, Sarah calls me. Apparently, she's in her hotel room, with fifteen minutes of breathing time before dinner.
"I would like to masturbate now, Sir," she tells me demurely when I pick up.
"Do you, pet? I thought you already had an orgasm this morning."
"I did, Sir, but I need more..." she says with a little whine in her voice. "Please! Can I masturbate?"
"Tell me what you are wearing, pet?"
"Nothing, I'm on my hotel bed in just my naughty thong knickers and heels, just as you like me, Sir," she answers huskily. "Wait...."
Ping! My phone goes, and there's a blurry picture of her near-naked body. I can just make out her gorgeous tits. I don't know how she has managed to take such an unclear picture. It's quite difficult with modern smartphone cameras, but she has pulled it off.
"Thank you, pet. I needed that. You can touch yourself now, but you must describe to me what you are doing."
"Hmmm, Sir, thank you..." I hear her breathing increase, and a small moan escapes from her lips. "I am caressing my tits, imagining you doing it... I know you love my tits, Sir."
