As the day approached, he found it hard to distract her, but fortunately they had shown him how to 'mask' his thoughts. He was nervous and because even though he loved them dearly and they him, he still occasionally found himself thinking that it was all a dream and one day he was going to wake up and all would be gone. But when they met for lunch that would all go away and the girls would show him what he really had.
During this time, Jackie started withdrawing from him, her morning greetings grew more and more subdued and once in a while she would show up spotting a black eye. He wasn't sure how to handle this because she got angry when he tried to talk to her. So he asked Emily to help because they seemed to get along as she was a frequent visitor to his office. He suspected there was something more to her abuse but she never let him close.
She and Emily would hang out during the morning coffee break and on occasion at lunch, and after a while she was able to figure out what was up with her. Jackie was a submissive but her boyfriend didn't quite get this. Emily was excited because she had found someone who shared something similar to them. The problem now was convincing her that she had to get out before he did some serious damage.
As expected he did take it personal when she finally decided to leave and for the next few days Jackie's life was hell. He even had the nerve to call the office and threaten her. This promptly ended after Frank made a few calls to the cops and a certain questionable individual who owed him a favor. She was still understandably afraid, and to put her at ease, he offered to give her a ride home a few times and that's when he realized that she no longer had a crush on him but was in love with him.
This complicated things because he didn't want to let on that he knew and at the same time didn't want to upset her fragile state and of course there was the little family secret. So another sit down with the girls was done and it was decided that she should be introduced to Lori and slowly shown what kind of lifestyle they led. This meant that she would be invited to dinner and the girls would dress in their 'uniforms'.
Everyone was nervous because no one knew how she would react especially now that she was single again. The drive to his place was quiet and when they arrived she couldn't believe what she saw. The place was huge and when they entered, she was met by a woman whom she thought was Emily dressed like a Persian maiden. Her reaction brought back memories of the first time Frank came here and he couldn't help but smile at this. She wasn't told that that woman was Lori until she saw Emily, then she did a double take.
'What is going on here?' she asked confused.
'First off, this is Lori, Emily's mother and I'm sure you know Emily and secondly they are my slaves,' he replied then held his breath. She was quiet for a long time at which time she went through a rollercoaster of emotions. After what seemed like ages she looked up and started crying.
'I'm so sorry, I didn't know otherwise I wouldn't have hit on you,' she said between sobs. He led her to the sofa and sat her down.
'It's okay; I should be the one apologizing because I should have put an end to it before it got to this point. Do you know why I invited you for dinner?' she shook her head, 'well as you can see you are not the only one who has an alternative lifestyle and you have no reason to feel lonely. I and the girls have talked it over and you will always be welcome here okay.'
'I don't want to impose on you.'
'Nonsense Emily here likes you as do I and Lori would like to know you too, so think of us as your knew family.'
'I don't know what to say.'
'Don't worry about that lets have dinner first then we'll talk some more.' After diner she opened up and actually had a pleasant chat. They found out about her urge to be controlled and she finally came out and professed her love to him. He wasn't expecting her to do it then but was somewhat relieved that she got it out of the way. They talked late into the night and when they realized how late it was they asked her to spend the night which she gladly accepted.
After this she became a frequent visitor to their place and the girls even made up one of the rooms and it became her 'second bedroom' of sorts. They were careful on how they treated her and when she realized this, she knew she was loved. She didn't exactly have a childhood because she was sent to a boarding school in Europe at an early age and the only people she got to hang out with on holidays were the servants.
She didn't know how to talk to her parents and even as an adult they rarely spoke and after college even stopped visiting. This was part of the reason why she sought love in the all wrong places. Frank and the girls found this out during one of their evening chats and decided to invite her to Emily's birthday. She didn't really have friends just people who used her and enjoyed her money that's why she moved to this town to get away from all that.
The day arrived and he was really nervous and happy at the same time because the girls still didn't know what he had planned. This was partly due to Jackie because they were preoccupied with her; he was going to thank her later. The plan was to surprise them before he took them out for a romantic diner. On a few occasions he thought they had figured his plan out but if they did they never let on.
When he got home they had not arrived yet, so he knew he had a few minutes to prepare. After taking a quick shower and dressing up, he went to the den and poured himself for the first time a shot of whisky to steady his nerves. When the girls arrived they immediately sought him out and when they located him, they immediately realized something was up.
'What's wrong master, you've never drunk that stuff before?' Lori asked worried.
'First off go get ready we'll be leaving as soon as Jackie gets here which is about an hour from now,' he replied and without question they went to spruce themselves up although they were a bit worried. Surprisingly they didn't take long as he had thought and when they came back in, he almost dropped his glass. They looked, for lack of a better word, smoking. The birthday girl wore a red mini dress that hugged every curve with matching spiked heeled shoes.
Lori on the other hand wore a full length form fitting dark blue spaghetti strapped dress that had a slit that came all the way up to her upper thigh on both sides and wore high heeled sandals. They had done their hair into a pony tail something they hadn't done in a long time and this brought back memories of when he first got here. It never ceased to amaze him how little make up they wore, not that they needed it. He didn't know how long he stood there, but Emily broke his trance by approaching him and kissing him lightly on the lips. All of a sudden he felt his body go warm and a rush of happiness wash over him.
'Wow, I mean you look … wow.'
'As long as you like it, that's all that matters,' added Lori. Then getting a bit serious she approached and caressed his face, 'something is bothering you are you okay?'
