It is amazing where a casual conversation can lead. A simple flirtation to the right person can lead to years of friendship and excitement. I am lucky enough to be an example. This isn't exactly how my relationship evolved and much of it is fantasy. Fantasy I don't ever expect to become reality other than in my own very active imagination...
Answering the phone I knew who was on the other end. I was busy but she was my favorite person at work. Whether it is casual conversation or serious work discussion, I would drop anything to speak to her. There was something about her I couldn't resist.
"Yes Ma'am!" I answered enthusiastically.
"Ma'am?" she responded. Then there was silence. She was waiting for me to respond.
"Um, sorry. I was just..." I really didn't know what to say. I was really uncomfortable because she was normally very cheerful when we talked. I could count on zero fingers the times I thought I had upset her.
"Come to my office." She hung up the phone. I too hung up and without hesitation and with disregard to my impending deadline, I hurried off to her office. Why was I so nervous?
Her door was closed so I knocked gently. After a brief pause she told me to come in. Opening the door I stepped in and stood silently as she typed on her computer. When she finished what she was doing she turned to me.
"Ma'am?" She said seriously and with a questioning tone.
"Did that upset you? I'm sorry if I did."
"Upset? No, just curious why you used that term. Is it because I am older than you?"
"No, it has nothing to do with age. No..."
"So, you were just trying to show me respect or were you just making a joke? Why Ma'am?"
"I don't know. I guess it was respectful. Certainly, I didn't mean it in a negative way."
She stared at me for a minute and smiled. "I prefer Mistress."
Her gaze didn't waiver as she watched for my reaction. I had read stories about domination and knew what using that title meant. I even liked watching videos online of female domination. I felt a twinge in my groin as I contemplated my response. Danielle, or Dannie, and I did occasionally flirt but we hadn't really "gone there" as far as anything other than harmless banter.
"Yes, Mistress." I said in response and now I looked for her response. My heart leaped when I saw a big grin light up her face.
"I like that." She said simply. "Sit."
I sat down. For what seemed a long time, but it wasn't, she just looked at me. I could see there were thoughts running through her mind. If only I could read minds!
"Well, now I have another question." She began. "Why did you say 'Yes, Mistress'?"
"You said you preferred it..." I replied. After she stared at me for a long moment I realized she was waiting for me to continue. "Mistress."
She smiled again. "So you want me to be your Mistress?"
At this point my cock was fully erect and my mind was screaming "Say Yes! Say Yes!" I shifted uncomfortably in my chair trying to adjust my erection without using my hands. Dannie noticed but didn't change her expression. Again she was waiting on my response. "I think..."
"No Michael. You don't think. You know. Do you want me to be your Mistress?"
"Yes."
"Really? I don't think you even know what that means." She paused as she thought about what she would say next. "What do you think it means?"
"You tell me what to do and I do it."
"That is part of it. Can you give me an example."
"Um, well..." I easily blush when I talk about sex and my thoughts were leaning in that direction. I am not good at hiding my emotions or thoughts. Dannie knew where my mind was going.
"It isn't just about sex Michael." She admonished. "It is about control. How can I possibly be your mistress when you and I are both married and not to each other?"
I didn't really care about logic at this point. I was excited. More excited than I had ever been. I thought to myself it didn't really matter. If she was my Mistress she would control this relationship so we both would stay out of trouble. My stupid male horniness would be held in check by her calm control. At least that is what I was hoping for. I was prepared to give myself up. Of course all of the blood had rushed from my brain to my groin so maybe I wasn't thinking that well.
"I don't know, Mistress."
I was already giving myself up to her. She recognized it too and fortunately for me she was prepared to take on the responsibility of her pathetic play thing. Yes I am pathetic and need to be controlled.
"Risky...not for me of course. For you. I'll have to be careful with you."
"Yes, Mistress."
"Okay, first off. You don't call me that at work. That could be trouble. I won't take advantage of you at work, we need to be very discreet. You do your job, I'll do mine but when work isn't involved we can assume our roles. Your safe word is 'freedom.' If either of us say 'freedom' we stop whatever we are doing and discuss how to proceed. Fair?"
"Fair."
"I'm not sure you know what you are getting in to."
"Me either."
"Drinks after work." She said and it wasn't a question.
"Yes, Mistress."
"What did I just tell you?" she reached out and pinched the back of my arm hard.
"Ow!" I said with real surprise.
"Still interested?"
"Absolutely!" I smiled.
"This is going to be fun." Dannie smiled in a way I had never seen before. It scared and excited me at the same time.
Days and weeks and then months went by. We flirted more at work and we met after work for drinks on occasion. Away from work I called her "Mistress" and at work things were pretty normal. Every once in a while, she would pull rank on me at work for fun but really, I was left wanting more. Nothing physical would happen when we met but we would talk about sex. She asked about my sexual history and if I had ever been with another man. I told her the truth, I had.
"Did you like it?" she prodded.
With some embarrassment I admitted that I had indeed enjoyed the experience. I also admitted that had I been less inhibited in my early life I probably would have continued the relationship longer. If I had any sexual regrets, it was not exploring that side of myself more. Of course, it probably saved me a lot of problems as well. She liked hearing about my sexual adventures but only teased me with her own. She said she had her own experience with another woman at a young age but didn't elaborate even though I really longed to hear every detail. She did confess to using toys with her husband and my mind immediately created a picture of her with a strap on dildo fucking not her husband but me.
