Patrick opened his eyes lazily. He realized that he was still in Mother Mistress's bed and stretched to bring himself fully awake. Sitting up he looked at the clock and it read ten o'clock. He quickly jumped out of bed and ran naked out of Agnes's bedroom and down the hall toward his own room.
Just before he made it to his room he ran into Susan who let out a mock scream as she shouted, "Help! Naked man running through the house! Help!" The shouts brought Agnes and Cindy scurrying up the stairs. They took one look at Patrick then joined Susan in laughing at his predicament.
"Very funny, Susan," Patrick sneered at her, "How come I'm not laughing?" Patrick shook his head and glanced at Agnes and Cindy to draw imaginary circles over his temple then pointed to Susan. The three females snickered at Patrick as he ran to his bedroom and into the shower. He quickly dressed and glided down the stairs to eat some breakfast and get ready to go to school.
It was the weekend, but he needed to visit the library for a research project. Susan teased him that he was only using his 'project' for an excuse to see Kayla. That remark brought on several minutes of teasing from the ladies until Patrick told them who Kayla was and how he met her.
After a few more playful remarks from the 'girls', Cindy volunteered to drive Patrick to the library. She dropped him off at the entrance and told him to call her on her cell phone if he needed a ride home. Cindy kissed his cheek, in big sister fashion, and Patrick left the car to enter the library.
He really had a research project to work on, but he was ahead of schedule on it and this just might give him a chance to talk with Kayla. Patrick looked for her, but could not find her in the reading room where she usually worked. One of the librarians saw him looking about and whispered to him, "If you're looking for Kayla, she is in the upstairs computer room."
Patrick thanked her and quickly climbed the back stairs to the second level. He saw Kayla sitting at one of the library's personal computers, intently reading from a web site. Walking slowly and quietly, Patrick hoped to surprise her. Kayla's concentration was total as she had no clue that he was approaching her. He stopped behind her chair and peered over her shoulder at a familiar web page.
It was a story page from Literotica.com. He read a few lines and it was a story about Exhibitionism and Voyeurism with a BDSM plot. Patrick recognized the story because it was one of his favorites from an author who wrote some stories about college girls that were into Domination and humiliation.
Patrick had often visited this erotic story site and enjoyed it immensely. But now he sought some way to retreat to let Kayla know of his presence without embarrassing her. He was positive that she didn't want anyone to know that she was reading erotica, especially if she was supposed to be working.
Patrick quietly retreated toward the door. When he was neared the door, he stopped and dropped his books on a table so that they made some noise. Kayla's back straightened as though she had been shot. She had the presence of mind to swiftly press the Ctrl, Alt, Delete keys to reboot the computer then turned around to see Patrick.
"Oh, hi, Patrick," she said casually, even though she wondered if he had seen or recognized the web page she had been visiting. "What brings you here on a weekend?" He removed his jacket, hung it on the back of a chair and walked over to Kayla.
"I'm doing a research project and thought I might get a little ahead of the bow wave by working here on it," he replied. Kayla breathed easier as she stood up and walked over to Patrick's table to sit down. He knew that the library snack room was just down the hall and he invited Kayla to join him for a cup of coffee. She smiled, nodded 'yes' and they walked off down the hall to the snack room.
The snack room was small with only three vending machines, soft drinks, juices and coffee. It also had three small tables with chairs, and it was against the rules to bring any drinks into the rest of the library. "Coffee?" Patrick asked and Kayla nodded yes and he dropped the required coins in the slot as they each selected the ingredients they wanted.
"How about that, Patrick," Kayla said, "We both like it black with sugar." They sat down to sip the hot coffee as both wondered privately if that was a sign, or a coincidence. The expected small talk followed as they sipped their coffee and talked about their classes and college activities. Patrick felt that perhaps he should tell Kayla that he had seen which web site she had been visiting. He didn't want to embarrass her, but he also wondered why she was so keenly interested in that site. After all, she was risking losing her student job if she were caught visiting erotic sites on library computers.
Patrick mentally wrestled with his conscience. He wanted to warn her, but he also was keenly interested in how she came to be reading erotica and was she as drawn to it as much as he was. Her deep concentration in the story text told Patrick that perhaps there was a chance to build and develop a relationship. But if she became angry or even upset, he risked any chance to develop any sort of relationship or even friendship with her. He sipped his coffee and tried to listen to Kayla's conversation, but his mind continued to overload on the erotic site she had been so keen to visit.
"Kayla," he began when she paused in their small talk. "There is something I need to discuss with you, but I want you to hear me out completely before you get angry with me." Kayla cocked her head slightly and smiled. She assured Patrick that she wanted to hear whatever he had to say and she would not become angry or upset. "I saw which web site you were visiting just a few minutes ago, Kayla."
The young woman's eyes widened as she started to stand, but Patrick gently placed his hands on her arms and asked her to listen to him then make up her mind. Slowly, Kayla sat down again, but her eyes seemed ready to fire lightning bolts through him.
"I wasn't snooping or spying on you, Kayla. I saw you at the computer and was going to surprise you with a 'guess who' as I covered your eyes." Kayla's eyes softened a little as he continued, "That is one of my favorite sites, too Kayla. I love to read erotica and visit there often, with my laptop or PC at home. But I was concerned that if the University catches you visiting that site, you may lose your job. I couldn't live with myself if I had not said anything and you lost your job next time if someone caught you." Kayla sighed and her eyes welled up in tears, but she quickly daubed them with a tissue and took a deep breath.
"I...I guess..." she searched for the right words to say, "I guess that it was a good thing it was you that saw me," She swallowed hard and continued, "I have been concerned about getting caught, but I'm hooked on some of those stories. I read them whenever I can, which is not everyday, but often. I like to read them, but I'm not addicted to them."
She sipped her coffee and mulled over her next move in this minor confrontation. "I'm fascinated by the stories about Domination and submission. Do people really do those things?" Patrick nodded, yes, and told her that more people than she could imagine, not only did those things, but devoted themselves to that lifestyle. Kayla opened her mouth in fascination to his response, "I'm somehow thrilled to hear you say that, Patrick.
I thought that 'lifestyle' was just a fantasy, to get 'weirdo's' excited. I didn't really think that ordinary people were involved in that lifestyle," she admitted. Patrick went on to tell her that she would be very surprised at some of the people, both ordinary and extraordinary people, who enjoyed that lifestyle.
Further, she had probably met several of them, but didn't know it, he told her. Kayla smiled as though she found a treasure of some sort. "Now, I'm really glad that you told me that you had 'caught' this naughty girl reading erotic stories." Now it was Patrick's turn to exhale deeply and breathe easier.
"God, Kayla, I'm glad you didn't get mad. I have been into erotic stories since I was a sophomore in High School," he admitted. "I recently read that same story you were reading and let me tell you, it turned me on." He apologized, but Kayla told him there was no need to apologize and maybe they were literary soul mates. She grinned and held both his hands in hers. Patrick went on to tell her that he had the same interests in that lifestyle as she did.
As they talked, he noticed that her breathing became more pronounced as progressed deeper into their 'lifestyle' discussion. He wondered if she was getting as aroused as he, because his hardon throbbed and he was glad the table hid the bulge in his jeans from her.
Kayla told him she discovered the web site from someone who had logged on, but left the PC on and didn't log off. The library computers are programmed to turn the monitor off after ten minutes of inactivity, but the PC was still on. She had inadvertently bumped the computer and the monitor came on to display Literotica.com. Looking to see what the site was all about, she found a story and began to read it. After a few seconds of reading she realized that it was an erotic story, but she was so into it that she had to see how it ended. That was just before winter break and she confessed to being an avid reader ever since.
