At precisely 6 AM my eyes snapped open, fueled by my inner psychic alarm clock to wake at the time that I had been instructed. After blinking rapidly several times to drive away any last vestiges of sleep I quickly rolled off the thin mattress on the floor of the small bare bones room in which I slept and stood up before that first minute had passed. It would not do to disobey, even in such a small unobserved way, at the very beginning of my day.
It was still dark in the room at that hour and I groped to find and turn on the light switch on the wall. The ceiling bulb above flared to life throwing off a harsh sudden glare. I made my way out and down the hall to the downstairs bathroom. After taking care of my morning necessities I got into the shower where I quickly washed and thoroughly scrubbed and was out after just a few minutes. Rapidly drying off I then took care of my shaving and teeth needs, and I was soon ready for my early morning duties.
Except for the device which encased my privates I was naked, and would remain so most of the time. For my first order of business however I went to the hallway closet where I was allowed to put on an old tattered robe and some worn slippers, and proceeded down the long quarter mile tree lined driveway to its end, to retrieve and bring back the delivered morning paper. Once back up and inside I shed the robe and slippers and scurried down to the kitchen to begin preparations for my Owner's breakfast.
It being a Saturday, my Wife liked to sleep in a bit later than usual so I was able to take my time to carefully get things ready. I set the table for her, plate, coffee mug, napkin and silverware, and placed the unopened newspaper down next to it all. I freshly ground the beans for the several cups of coffee she likes to drink in the morning and got it ready to brew in the coffee maker. Going to the refrigerator I took out and sliced some fresh strawberries and mixed them in with some blueberries and raspberries and some melon and pineapple which I also freshly cut up, to make a fruit cocktail for her. I took out and broke open two eggs and whisked them in with some milk and cinnamon, then slicing two thick slabs of cholla bread to soak in it for her favorite french toast. Finally I placed four pieces of bacon between paper towels and put them in the microwave to be ready to cook just before she came down. As I was finishing this it was fast approaching 8 o'clock, the time I had been instructed to wake her.
After one final glance around to assure myself that everything was in place to be quickly ready for her when she arrived, I hurried up the stairs to her closed bedroom door, getting there just before the directed time. I took a deep breath to calm myself and then quietly opened the door and entered. There was enough light now coming through her curtained windows to see, and I knew not to turn on any lights until she was fully awake. I softly approached her bedside, and as the digital clock on her side table flashed 8:00 I gently placed my hand on her shoulder.
"It's 8 o'clock Ma'am."
She barely stirred.
After a moment I applied slightly more pressure. "Ma'am, it's 8 o'clock." I repeated. "When you wanted me to wake you."
A bit more movement, but without opening her eyes she answered. "Fifteen more minutes."
"Yes Ma'am." I replied.
I removed my hand and backed away into the corner so I wouldn't be hovering over her. I stood there silently and still, watching the clock intently although I couldn't help casting occasional long, longing looks at her lovely form lying on her side under the covers. When the clock finally registered 8:15 I returned and put my hand once again on her shoulder.
"Eight fifteen, Ma'am."
This time she blinked her eyes open sleepily and shifted onto her back as I took off my hand. After another minute she pushed her covers off, raised her arms above her head and stretched languidly, and my heart thumped and I felt an encumbered stirring in my groin as I drank in with my eyes the heavenly sight before me.
Yawning contentedly she sat up on the side of the bed without any acknowledgment. I went down to my knees before her and took her bedside slippers and carefully placed them on her feet. She stood and I helped her into her white satin morning robe. She then began walking toward her bedroom en-suite.
"I'll bathe later after I work out." she said over her shoulder as she went. "I'll be down in ten minutes." she concluded as she closed the en-suite door behind her.
Given that time frame I hustled down the stairs and back into the kitchen. I could only pray that I would indeed have the full ten minutes to get everything ready. I started by turning on the coffee to brew. From the refrigerator I filled her bowl with the fresh fruit salad and took out two oranges to squeeze for a glass of fresh orange juice, then placing them at her setting at the table. Finally I brought the soaked bread to the skillet to begin to cook her french toast, and turned on the microwave to sizzle her bacon.
Twenty minutes later she came down the stairs and glided into the room like the royalty that she is. As she approached the dining table I hurried over to pull out her chair. After she sat I picked up the pot and poured her first cup of coffee, adding the precise amount of cream that I knew she liked. When she had finished with her fruit I brought over to her the two pieces of french toast with a carafe of her favorite maple syrup, and the newly cooked bacon on the side. I then retreated to the background to watch intently for any of her further needs.
She leisurely alternated fork fulls of her french toast, bites of her bacon and sips of her coffee, scanning the newspaper as she did so. About fifteen minutes into her meal, without looking back she held out her mug and I rushed forth to refill it with her second cup of coffee, topping it off once again with the right amount of cream. She continued to slowly dine and read the paper, occasionally chuckling and once even offering an outright laugh as she did so. After forty five minutes and finishing the third cup of coffee I had poured for her, she stood up.
"I'm going into the den to go through my emails." she announced as she turned to go. "After you clean up in here you can go to start your other chores."
