"Waiting for you in the bedroom. Join me once you're ready. I've got something special planned."
That was the note Kate found on the kitchen table when she got home from work. Just these three short sentences, decorated with a little heart and a winking smiley that stuck out its tongue.
Oh, and the collar holding the piece of paper down, of course.
It was amazing how much could change in a single minute. When she came through the door, Kate had been tired and exasperated, ready to drop down on the couch to either spend the evening mindlessly binging some series that didn't require any brain power, or to once again rant to Mia about how she was going to strangle her customers one day. Ideally both.
Upon seeing this note and being hit by its implications, though, her mood immediately brightened up.
About two weeks ago, with the not so gentle help of several Gin Tonics, she'd let slip at a party that she might harbor some not so vanilla urges. It had been one of those alcohol-fueled situations where someone started to overshare, and then the others joined in until everyone knew much more about all their friends than they might have ever wanted to know.
Mia had heard it as well, but after the party neither of them had brought it up again, and Kate had figured that maybe it was for the best. She loved her girlfriend very much, and she knew that her horny fantasies were exactly that: Fantasies. She'd never really expected anything to come from them.
Which made it all the more exciting that apparently Mia had not only remembered her drunken ramblings, but been secretly intrigued enough to make some plans of her own.
Kate tried not to get ahead of herself. She didn't know yet what exactly her girlfriend had in mind. However, that collar seemed unmistakable in its intentions.
It was a simple thing, made from black leather that felt nice and smooth as Kate ran her fingers over it. Almost fit for public, except that the metal ring on its front would raise some eyebrows. It was big enough that one could easily hook their finger into it and drag her closer. Or -- Kate's stomach tingled at the thought -- use it to attach a leash.
She doubted that Mia would go so far, but then again, she had bought that thing behind her back, so who knew how far her plans went?
Kate couldn't wait. Without bothering to take off her blazer, she put the collar on. It took a bit of shuffling around to get the fabric out of the way, and closing the clasp behind her neck wasn't so easy either, but when she looked at herself in her reflection on the microwave, she was immediately captivated by its effect.
She'd been right: There was no mistaking the collar as an innocent accessory. She might still be dressed as a smart business woman, but one look at her neck was enough to make one think that she was involved in some very spicy business indeed. Maybe as the right hand of a ruthless underworld queen. Or maybe she was someone who'd gotten involved with the wrong kind of loan sharks, and now she tried to keep up the facade while behind closed doors her body and soul belonged to a shady Mistress until she managed to repay her debts.
Kate grew more and more excited as her mind conjured up these scenarios. That the collar was impossible to ignore only egged her on even more. It might have just been a lucky coincidence, but one of the holes in the leather was fitted at just the right spot that she could close the collar tight enough that it lay snugly against her skin all the way around, but just not tight enough that it would impact her breathing.
Still, every breath, every little movement of her head made the rounded edges of the leather rub against her skin, reminding her of its presence. Likely she'd get used to it at some point, but she wouldn't have minded for this point to be in the far future.
"Join me once you're ready," the note said. Was she ready to meet Mia?
Her eyes fell onto the winking smiley again. She certainly looked pretty sexy with the collar spicing up her outfit, but she could certainly do better. For once, she had no intentions of staying in her working clothes for what was very likely going to turn into sex.
Usually she changed in the bedroom, since that was where they kept their wardrobe. It was also the place she was only supposed to enter once she deemed herself ready, though, so that might pose something of a problem.
Or not, actually.
It took barely a minute for Kate's blazer, shirt, skirt and stockings to form an unceremonious pile on the living room couch, leaving her in just her underwear. And the collar, of course.
She took a little detour to the bathroom where they kept their big mirror. She couldn't help but grin as she confirmed that, yes, she really looked like the perfect kinky gal. Forget about questionably fashioned business Kate, barely dressed maniacally grinning Kate was the one who really turned up the heat! Maybe it was a tad conceited of her to think that way, but damn, did that collar make her look sexy. Mia was going to absolutely love it.
But maybe she could do even better.
As good as she looked in just her lingerie, it wasn't the kind of underwear one would choose to entice their partner. Simple white panties and a matching bra, the kind that provided a comfortable wear for a long day's work. Or at least as comfortable as possible. Kate was convinced that there was some conspiracy going on in the bra industry, and they made each of them uncomfortable in a slightly different way on purpose, to make you buy more and more of them in an endless search for one that actually fit.
And it wasn't like she'd keep them on anyway once they got to the sexy part, so she might as well speed things up.
She giggled to herself as she lost both her bra and her panties, turning around while keeping her eyes trained on the mirror as she kept checking herself out. Yes, that was it! Only the best for Mia, and what could be better than one sexy girlfriend, dressed in nothing but her shiny new collar?
The door to the bedroom was closed.
Usually Kate wouldn't have though anything about simply entering. After all, the two of them had been together for quite some time now, and neither of them had anything to hide. However, today it felt right to play this by the book. Barely suppressing another giggle, Kate knocked on the door.
"Yes, who's there?" Mia's playful voice came back after a couple of seconds.
"It's me. As ready as I could ever be."
