This chapter may be a little slow. For me, I like the relationship with the women more than the sex scenes. But I needed to set up the future sex with this bit.
---------------------------
I received a phone call from Louise later that evening. She realized that after the session at Gillian's we had not done any after care. I told her I was ok but she was insistent that we should spend some time together. I agreed to meet her for lunch Tuesday and tossed and turned that night half hard and straining against the cage. I woke and passed the morning till it was time to go to lunch. I had been pretty casual the last couple of years since I hadn't been dating. Lots of flannel and denim. I decided that wasn't appropriate. I found a nice pair of slacks, shirt and jacket. I left the collar on. It wasn't too obvious under the collared shirt, but from the front you couldn't miss it. I drove to the restaurant she had chosen and was a little surprised. I was glad I had dressed well. It was a very nice place. I gave the Maitre D Louises name and he showed me to a table. Louise came in a few minutes later and I stood to greet her. She looked fabulous. Very confident and stylish and, to be honest, hot.
"Thank you for coming. I felt so bad about not doing any after care or check in. I can't believe we rushed out like that.
"I was ok. It was pretty overwhelming during the session, but the drive home gave me time to recover."
"I'm glad you are ok, but I am still upset about not thinking of it. I am really enjoying this exploration and want to do it right. At the retreat when I sat with you after fucking you in the swing I felt that was very healing both for you and me. I could tell how powerful the experience was for you. And it was life changing for me. That whole weekend was eye opening, but to experience that level of power and control changed everything for me. I want the next phase of my life to be very different from what came before. I want this arrangement between us to continue and I don't want to make mistakes."
I nodded and thought for a moment.
"I want to continue and I want to do this right. I don't know if we need to do more planning. Or have better time management skills. And I'm not sure what input I can or should give. You were clear that you want this to be your exploration."
"That's true. I do want to get what I want, but it isn't just about me," Louise replied. "I do want to use our time for my needs and desires but I also want it to be connected in some way. Gillian told me that there are professional submissives that I could spank or torment but I really don't want that. Even though we only had a professional relationship before the retreat, we did have a relationship. That makes this type of power exchange more appealing to me. I like what I've done to you. I want to do more to you."
Oh my god. I couldn't believe this was happening. I took a sip of ice water to give myself time to think. The waiter came by before I could speak. I looked at the menu and chose something light. After we ordered and the waiter finally left, Louise continued.
"Were you okay with the session at Gillian's? Was there anything you didn't like?"
"No. I liked all of it. I have to say that everything we did was something that I have always wanted to do. But I haven't done very much of it. So, it was awesome and exciting and at the same time overwhelming and very challenging. I don't want to say it was painful. It was, but it wasn't. That doesn't make much sense, but maybe I should say the sensation was intensely......intense."
I drifted off with no end to that sentence. I didn't know how to express what it felt like to be flogged or waxed.
Louise gave me a minute to continue.
"I would like to do that again," I said. "You said earlier that having had some sort of relationship before was important to you. I think that matters to me too. The sensation from the clothes pins had me close to using my safe word. But I didn't use it because I didn't want to disappoint you."
Louise smiled at that.
"That is exactly what I am looking for," she said. "That is why I don't want to hire professional submissives. I want to push you to your limits. I want to find out how far I can go. And how far you can go."
I must have looked a little scared. Louise held up a hand before I could speak.
"And that is why I felt we should meet today. Especially since I blew the aftercare yesterday."
I started to say that she didn't blow it, but she raised her hand again.
"I need to get my part right. Because this is important to me. You, actually, are important to me. And I want more. A lot more. And the only way I am going to get what I want is to do it the right way. And no matter what, I want you to continue being my massage therapist. I don't want to hurt you in a session and ruin that."
There was a moment of silence then Louise chuckled.
"Although, I DO want to hurt you in a session."
We both laughed and our food arrived. During the meal we talked about more normal things. Louise told me about her marriage. They had been high school sweethearts and had had a good life together. They never had kids and she was the typical corporate wife. She said she was good at it and enjoyed it, but her husband's death ended that also. They had a loving, if boring, sex life. They got married young and never experimented much. Starting weekly massage had been a big step for her and then she discovered Pamela's workshops. She went to a couple of her more tame weekend retreats that were more about food and relaxation. She took the plunge and went to the weekend where I served and the rest is history.
