Author's note: This is the beginning chapter of a story assignment I've had for months. I hope to write more of it and delve deeper into this story. As always, feedback is welcome!
***
For about a month or so, Claire had been whining and begging her Master for something different to spice up their sex lives a bit more. The whips, riding crops, floggers, chains, ropes, paddles, and sometimes candles were more than she could have asked for - and certainly different than how she had envisioned her life a mere year and a half ago - but she wanted something different. Little did she know what Lucas had planned...
It's a sunny day. Claire is sitting on the deck outside, lounging in a chair and enjoying her morning coffee as she looks out to the ocean, admiring the view with wonder yet she's seen it more than a hundred times by now. She stretches lazily and almost dozes off when her reverie is interrupted by the sliding door opening. Immediately Claire knows that it's Lucas, and she scrambles up out of her chair and kneels next to it, spreading her knees slightly, placing her palms flat on her thighs, and looking straight ahead, keeping her back straight.
"There's my good little girl. Good morning." His voice is soft, almost coming in a purr as he runs his fingers through her hair. Claire leans into his hand and blushes prettily in response, keeping her eyes forward. Lucas speaks again "Don't I get a greeting?" in the same soft, crooning voice, and keeping her hands on her thighs, Claire leans up to nuzzle his crotch as she greets him the way he had taught her to.
"Good morning Master, I hope you slept well and had good dreams." As she finishes speaking, she places a kiss on his boxers right next to the growing bulge in the center.
"Mmmmm, thank you little one, although you haven't helped my erection go down any..." His dark eyes shine with pride and mischief as he looks down at her "not that I would ever complain about that." he quickly adds after seeing the fleeting crestfallen look on her face. He continues after stroking her hair in silence for a moment "I have a surprise for you. I don't have to ask whether or not you trust me, because I know you do. I've had an idea for awhile, and it started becoming more real in my mind as you kept asking me for 'something different' than our normality. Now come, follow me to our bedroom and I'll show you what I mean." As he speaks, Claire remains rooted to her spot, listening quietly as she keeps her eyes ahead. She only moves when he tells her to follow, and she does so on her hands and knees.
After a few paces, he stops. "You may walk, little one, in fact I insist on it." He continues walking without turning back to look at her and she rises to her feet, silently grateful that he has allowed her to walk. She resolves to thank him later as she silently follows him through the house, feeling practically giddy with excitement.
When they reach their bedroom, Claire stops dead in her tracks and her mouth drops open in a most unladylike way. Next to their king-size bed, there is a large, fluffy-looking pet bed with a table next to it. On the table sits a pet collar, a headband with cat ears on it, a pair of mittens that look like paws - although Claire can't be sure - something in a small package that comes with adhesive, a butt plug tail, and two bowls with her name written in cursive across one side of each. She dares to look at Lucas, because she knows that unless he gives her a certain signal, their bedroom is a safe zone.
"Master, what is this?" She thinks she knows, but she wants to hear him say it. She feels the wetness from between her legs sticking to her shorts, making them cling to her pale skin, even before he starts speaking.
"You said you wanted something different. For the next month, you will be my Pet; more specifically, my little Kitten. I have written out a set of rules for you to follow." He hands her a sheet of paper which reads:
CLAIRE'S RULES FOR BEING MASTER'S PET KITTEN
1. Kitten is not allowed to talk at all unless direct permission is given.
2. Kitten must remain on all fours at all times unless permitted to do otherwise.
3. Kitten must eat and drink from her bowls for meals and snacks on the floor, unless they are placed somewhere else.
4. Kitten must remain naked, or wearing clothes specifically designated for her.
4a. If Kitten gets cold, she may ask for a blanket the way a Kitten would.
