Valentine's Day. I fucking hate Valentine's Day. Everyone is "in love" but me. Being forty and single is difficult enough, but add Valentine's Day to the mix, and its absolute hell. I have been on a dating frenzy this past year. Met some real nice guys, but I didn't make any love connections. They were either funny, but completely unattractive or hot as hell and dumb as a rock. It's going to be a very, very long day.
When she first mentioned that I would make an excellent mistress, I was confused. Should I be flattered or insulted? What did she mean by "mistress"? Did I look like the type that would fuck a married man?
But that's not what she meant.
Mary Ellen was the owner and proprietor of an adult toy shop. I have been single most of my adult life with a few quick relationships mixed in. The only real pleasure I could count on was Bob (my battery operated boyfriend). However, Bob liked different oils and lubes and an occasional upgrade to the clit critter attachment. It took me years to become comfortable with myself enough to actually use my toys, but to be a frequent costumer in a store...
Little did I know that Mary Ellen was not only running a toy shop, but also a dungeon. No prostitution of any kind, legal, safe, and anonymous. The clients as well as the mistresses had complete anonymity. Only Mary Ellen knew the identities of her costumers and she was the epitome of discretion. When a client would come for his appointment, she alone would escort them down the back stairs to the basement, the dungeon. Once he paid his "bill", she would shackle him to whatever to the device of his choice, a pole, a bed, or even a crib. Then she would disguise him with a black hood with a mask.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, as I was making my purchase of a new water soluble lubricant for Bob and I, when Mary Ellen and I got to chatting about men and money, my least favorite topics. "You would make an excellent mistress" she said.
"Excuse me. Did you say "mistress?" Then she reaches under the counter and hands me a pamphlet, BSDM -- Submissive Play for the Adventurous Adult. "So many of my clients ask for a redhead and your long hair is would really bring in the cash. It's completely safe and anonymous. I have all types of ladies that work for me, teachers, accountants, even a lawyer."
"I don't think that's for me. But thanks for the, uh, complement." Mary Ellen put the pamphlet in my bag, told me to read it and think it over. I could make easy cash and I just might enjoy myself.
Five weeks later, it's Valentine's Day and I am working as a mistress for Mary Ellen. Just one night a week for a few hours. The pay is phenomenal and it is actually kind of fun. Definitely empowering.
She saves the easy ones for me. I am still what she likes to call a "mistress in training" with only 5 slaves under my belt. My very first client was an older gentleman, I think. He was into the baby scenario. When I walked into his cell, he was laying in an oversized makeshift crib wearing a diaper. He asked if he could call me "mama" and I had to spank him for making "poo poo" in his diaper. I made $125 that night on him alone. Oh the stories I will have to tell, if I ever get the nerve up to tell anyone what I do in the evenings.
When I am in my leather costume, the only thing that really shows is my hair, which I pull back into a pony tail. I wear a mask and gloves and black boots with 5 inch heels. Slaves have absolutely no idea who I am and I don't have any idea who they are. Perfect.
My client for tonight was a newbie. Mary Ellen gives me just a quick background on him. My client tonight, on February 14th was a virgin to BDSM. He actually has a gift certificate for it. Apparently his friends bought it as a gag and he said "What the hell? Never know you like it till you try, right?" according to Mary Ellen.
He begins to talk. "Excuse me, who's there?" His voice is different. Masculine without being macho. Manly and articulate. I am instantly aroused. This is going to be a fun one. Before I walk into the cell, I get my mistress act on. Being as bitchy down here as I want to be in real life...now I am in the dungeon.
"Shut up! You talk when your mistress allows." I reply attempting to disguise my voice.
"Oh, sorry. I am new to this."
"Did I ask a question? Now shut up and get ready. Before I begin your pleasure, slave, do I need to review the rules?"
"No madam."
"I am your mistress, not your madam. We need a safe word, your choice, as long as it's not ouch."
