A Good Girl?
The weeks leading up to Christmas are always a special time for me. I love the buzz that goes around the workplace as the twenty fifth of December draws closer; colleagues forget their daily grumbles and focus on the positives in their life. I treasure those moments when I can sneak into the kitchen and munch my way through a mince pie with brandy butter, or indulge my sugar addiction with copious amounts of chocolate. But most of all, I get excited about the time I'm going to be spending with Jennie.
This year we decided to introduce a new tradition. The Friday before Christmas, we arranged to take the day off work, with the sole purpose of chilling out. We made sure we wouldn't have to worry about the children, as they would be staying with other family members. It would be quality adult time; to let loose and have fun. Such free time, in our busy lives, was prized far higher than any gift from a shop.
We wanted to spend most of the day relaxing at home - doing simple stuff like watching a sentimental Christmas film, reading a book and tucking into culinary treats. In the evening we planned to go into town to celebrate, but hadn't made any firm plans about where we might go.
As the evening drew in, we found ourselves snuggled closely together on the sofa, contemplating how to make best use of the remaining hours of the day. We were in no hurry to make a decision. It was great to sit back, without any pressures, and simply admire the decorations festooned around the house. In the background, Michael Bubblé was belting out classic Christmas tunes, while the sweet, fruity aroma of mulled wine graced our nasal passages.
I was the first person to make a suggestion about what we should do next: "I reckon we should have a special game of scrabble."
"Are you serious?" replied Jennie, "I thought you wanted to go out somewhere in town?"
"I do. But we can do that after the game. Anyway, I thought we could spice things up by adapting Scrabble, to make it more interesting." I allowed my sentence to tail off, knowing that I had piqued Jennie's curiosity.
"What did you have in mind? Is it going to be anything kinky?" Jennie replied with glee. She gave a cheeky wink: "After all, we are alone in the house, and you might want to have your wicked way with me, half way through the game."
I couldn't resist laughing. Jennie knew me too well. My mind was always full of smutty thoughts and fantasies.
"Tempting as that may be, I was actually thinking we should keep things simple and just play a normal game of scrabble. But the twist is, whoever loses the game, has to agree to be a sex slave for the rest of the night."
I allowed Jennie to digest this proposal. I wasn't sure whether she would be up for it, but I hoped the copious amounts of alcohol we had consumed since lunchtime, would lower her inhibitions.
"Ok. I think I might go prepared to go along with your suggestion. But, before I agree to this, we need to go through the finer details. After all, given my track record of whipping your arse at every game we play, I want to know what sort of things I can make you do, when you are forced to become my personal sex slave!"
Clearly, I had struck the right note with my challenge. However, I wasn't intending on losing the game. Would Jennie's confidence be her undoing?
"I think it's crucial that whoever loses, doesn't back out. Once we're both agreed to the rules, we have to go through with this. No feeble excuses to avoid being the sex slave."
"Yep, I'm good for that" said Jennie.
"The winner can instruct the loser to do anything they like, from the moment the scrabble game ends until the stroke of midnight tonight." I glanced at the clock. "So that's about six or seven hours as a personal sex slave, depending on how long the scrabble game takes."
"Hang on a minute", Jennie cautioned. "There have got to be some limits to what kind of things you can be forced to do."
I paused to think.
"Ok. The loser can't suffer any long-lasting physical injury because of what the winner has said or done."
"So would spanking or whipping be ruled out completely?" queried Jennie.
"I'm not saying that. If spanking rocks your boat, that's ok. But it's about us being sensible with the amount of force used."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that. When you lose you can expect some severe punishment from my hand!" Jennie slapped her lap in a pantomime fashion, to make her intentions crystal clear to me.
"The other thing is you can't be forced to do anything illegal. If that happens, you can say no."
Jennie still had more questions: "What if you are forced to do something really embarrassing or humiliating? I've got to warn you now; I wouldn't be happy if you posted photos of me naked on the internet or emailed the snaps to my friends or family."
I leaned over, and gave Jennie a big kiss on the lips. "I wouldn't do that to you, if you didn't want me to. But I think you're right – we can have two extra rules - no photography and we mustn't involve people we know or are likely to come across on a day to day basis."
Jennie mulled over what had been said thus far. I could tell she was imagining a multitude of ways to use, abuse, and humiliate me, if I became her personal sex slave. She seemed to relish the prospect of having total control over me and forcing me to submit to her every demand. I wasn't sure, if she gave sufficient thought to the possibility of losing, because within a minute, she confirmed her readiness to play this high stakes game of scrabble.
I think we both realised that whoever won or lost, the sexual adventure would be mind blowing. It was the anticipation, as much as anything, that was pumping our adrenalin levels. We prepared to do battle over this addictive word game.
We moved to the dining room table and the scrabble board was quickly laid out in the middle. Wine glasses were refilled and snacks were positioned nearby. We drew out seven tiles each and so the contest began.
It was a closely fought game. The lead kept changing between us, and there was never more than fifteen points between our scores.
To keep the tension going, Jennie threw in provocative comments, in an attempt to distract me from playing my best word: "I have to warn you, I'm expecting you to be a very obedient slave tonight. I expect to be completely satisfied in every way. I might not be able to take photos, but I can guarantee your face is going to be glowing red with embarrassment. But it will be worth it...for me at least!" gloated Jennie.
I had to point out that I hadn't lost yet, and she would have to be prepared for the consequences were I to pull off a shock win. The alcohol kept flowing in between rounds of word play, ensuring we were both feeling the woozy effects of the drink as the game neared its conclusion.
The final tiles were drawn from the scrabble bag. There was a palpable tension in the atmosphere now. The scrabble board resembled a completed crossword, making it harder to find available places to add words.
It was now my move. I looked down anxiously at the score sheet. Jennie was leading by twelve points and she only had two more letters to play. On the other hand, my remaining four letters were hardly inspirational - E, J, N and Y.
Up until this point, I had instinctively placed words without taking too much time to find the optimum score. But as Jennie only had a couple of letters left, I realised this was potentially my last turn, and I had to make it count. But what could I come up with that would see me across the winning line? I scoured the board for an available space and grappled anagrams in my head.
The pressure was beginning to tell. My initial optimism turned to pessimism. It looked like I was going to lose. Jennie observed the heavy frown on my face and sensed victory was near. She kept up the pressure, with her verbal teasing: "I can see I'm a few minutes away from another triumphant win. You'll have to accept, once and for all, that I'm the best scrabble player. But don't worry slave, I'll go gently with you... to begin with!"
I decided that if I was going to lose I had to go out in style. After all, this was supposed to be fun, and did it really matter who claimed the prize tonight?
I lined up my remaining letters and placed them carefully down. I used a spare N on the board, to create the word J-E-N-N-Y. I didn't know if it was an acceptable scrabble word, but I thought it would bring a smile to both of us. I did a quick count and declared my score as 15.
"I guess that makes me the winner." I tried to suppress a wide grin.
