My name is Heather and I am a submissive. I don't use lower case letters when I refer to myself and I do have a mind of my own. I can say "No"; I just choose not to. The things I do, the things I am made to do, and the things that are done to me are things that I enjoy. Well, it may not seem like I enjoy them while they are happening, but I do.
I think I always knew I was a submissive. I may not have known it by name, but I knew that I was more comfortable when someone else was in control. As I got older, I tended to like the guys who were in charge. I was happiest when I was being told what to do. When it came to sex, the guy who took what they wanted got further than the guy who was tentative or asked permission.
Keith knows how to come up with things to do with me that leave me quivering for days after we are done. Oh, Keith is the man who takes care of me. Yes, I said takes care of me because, in the end, that is what he does. He loves me unconditionally and I love him. What we do together comes out of our love for each other and the deep desire to make each other happy.
I am not a slave. I do not sleep on the floor at the foot of his bed or in a cage in the basement. We do not have a 24/7 BDSM type relationship although at times it may seem like it. I have friends, Keith has friends and we have mutual friends; some of whom know about my submissive side and our relationship -- some have even witnessed or taken part in our little games. We share in each others lives as partners.
Keith loves and protects me. He would never injure me or let anyone else do anything to harm me. Some of the things he does to me may hurt; even leave a mark for a day or so but, the most medical treatment I have ever needed is a little soothing ointment usually gently administered by my Keith.
I met Keith four years ago. I was eighteen and just out of high school and looking for a job. Other than my high school diploma and typing, I had no skills and no resume'. I noticed an ad for a receptionist at an electrical engineering company and applied for the job. I had no idea what electrical engineering was but the pay was enough to pay my rent, utilities and necessities and have a few dollars left over.
The company was in a large building with offices, lots of large empty rooms and a warehouse just three blocks from my apartment. This was perfect because on the west coast, getting to and from work was a major expense in time and money. I could walk to work in less than ten minutes for free. I got the job and that was the beginning of my story.
As you probably guessed, Keith owns the company. He was twenty-six at the time and there were eight employees and I made nine. Phil, Keith's friend, interviewed and hired me. Phil was like the office manager and ran the sales department. Keith handled inventing, designing, and manufacturing.
At this point I had no idea what they made but in the eighteen months they had been in business, they had grown from four employees doing Three Thousand dollars in business a month, to nine employees doing Forty Thousand dollars in business each month. According to Phil, the business was growing so rapidly that they were desperately trying to hire more people with engineering backgrounds or schooling. That's why Keith bought this large empty building.
I didn't meet Keith until my second week there. By that time, I had mastered the phone system, knew all eight of the employees and could use the computer to take messages and send them to the other people in the office through the computer network. That was pretty much my entire job.
Keith came in on a Wednesday morning. I didn't know who he was but I liked his looks; tall, well built, well dressed, dark hair, medium complexion, grey eyes and oh, so handsome. As he walked in, I smiled at him and said, "Good morning, can I help you?"
He smiled at me and replied, "Yes, thank you; Mr. Monroe to see Phil Adams."
"Certainly, please have a seat." I said pointing to the waiting room and picked up the phone to call Phil's office. 'Mr. Monroe' took a seat in the waiting room.
When Phil answered his phone, in my very best receptionist voice, I said, "Mr. Adams, there is a Mr. Monroe here to see you."
Phil said, "Oh, shit!" and slammed his phone down.
Before I knew what was happening, I heard Phil running from his office toward the front of the building where my desk was. "Keith," he shouted, "what the hell are you doing sitting in the waiting room?"
"It's my waiting room." he said with a smile. "And I was just admiring our new receptionist."
Realizing who 'Mr. Monroe' was, I blushed from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. I stood up bright red but not knowing what to say. They let me stand there for what seemed like an hour but, was only a few seconds and then they both started laughing.
Phil turned to me and said, "I apologize, Heather. Heather, this is Keith, our boss; Keith, this is Heather, our receptionist."
Keith walked around my desk to stand next to me. I am five foot four and at six foot three he seemed to tower over me. He reached out and shook my hand and smiled again - God, I love that smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Heather. Welcome to our little family. I'm sorry I can't stay and talk but I just flew in and I have a lot of things to go over with Phil. Can I stop back later and talk with you?"
"Uh, sure Mr. Monroe, anytime." I stammered finally getting my voice back.
"My name is Keith;" he said walking towards his office, "Mr. Monroe is my Dad."
And that is how I met my Keith.
**********
Keith did come back later that afternoon and sat and talked with me for a while. We talked about my background; where I went to high school, where my family lived, my plans for the future, and so on. Talking to Keith was so easy and when I talked he really listened. He told me about graduating from college two years ago and how he started the company. He brought in Phil, who he knew from college, when he realized he knew nothing about how to sell his products. He told me about what the company did, too.
He told me he wrote computer programs and made mechanical and electrical devices. The devices were controlled by the computer programs and could do all kinds of things. He explained that you could use sensors connected to a computer to gather information from many different sources, and based on the information, the computer could start, stop or adjust the mechanical and electrical devices to do things based on that information.
A very simple example was a system that kept soft ice cream at exactly the right temperature and consistency by monitoring the temperature of the ice cream and the resistance to the mixers stirring the ice cream. The trick was he built them better and cheaper. He also said he had designed some specialty devices that brought in a lot of money. He didn't go into detail about them, but I would eventually find out what they were.
Keith and I would have lunch in the cafeteria at work every now and then. After a while, he would occasionally take me out to lunch. I was so comfortable with him. I couldn't believe that there was almost an eight year difference in our ages.
The conversation over our meals became more intimate and we talked about lost loves, ex-boyfriends and girls he left behind. We also talked about what we liked and disliked about those relationships. I even felt comfortable telling Keith about how guys who wouldn't take charge turned me off. Why would I feel uncomfortable? Keith was the most in charge guy I ever met.
The business really took off and by the time I was working there six months, we had over thirty employees and looking for more. The warehouse was in full swing and we had our own shipping department to keep up with the orders going out. I didn't know a whole lot about the engineering part of the business, but I could tell from the volume of calls, that the business was doing very well.
About that time was when Keith first asked me out to dinner; like a real date on a Saturday night. I was really excited because I had really grown very fond of him. He was always friendly and polite and showed he was interested in me but, I guess because he was the owner of the company, he never showed real affection toward me at work or during our lunches. I hoped that would change at dinner. I really had a thing for my boss.
