Finally, after making it through dinner, it was time to depart. Our waitress brought the check but before she left to ring up the tab, she leaned in close so that my Mistress could whisper in her ear. A devilish smile spread across her face and they both looked at me, hunger in their eyes. I nervously gulped another sip of wine as the waitress left. A few minutes later, she returned, handing the paper for my Mistress to sign. Then she walked over and handed what I thought was a cloth napkin. "Happy Birthday" she whispered into my ear before giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. When she turned and left, I realized that it wasn't a napkin that I was holding in my hand but her thong. I blushed furiously, trying to hide it as much as possible because I hadn't brought my purse with me.
Rising up off the chair, Mistress held out her hand to help me rise, which I did a little unsteadily, a combination of wine and nerves causing my balance to be somewhat off. Smoothing out my dress, I saw the shining damp spot on the chair and blushed again, knowing that whomever cleaned it would definitely figure out what I had done. We made our way to the car, the chilled night air sobering me up somewhat. As I opened the door to get in, Mistress stopped me in my tracks. "Take off your dress little one and put it in the back." Again, I hesitated. I couldn't believe what she was asking. But, before she repeated herself, I lifted the dress over my head, threw it in the backseat and quickly entered the car. Instantly, goose bumps rose all over my body, both from the chill of the air and the butterflies in my stomach.
Mistress gracefully got behind the wheel, looked at me, again smiling that devilish smile, and told me to don the panties that I had still wadded up in my hand. I quickly put them on, silently thanking her that I had something to cover my most intimate area. They were a little tight, being about a size too small and the fabric dipped into the cleft of my pussy, rubbing against my clit. We then drove home which, for the most part was uneventful until she turned in to a McDonald's drive thru. My eyes went wide with panic which caused my Mistress to laugh and just drive around the building and out of the parking lot. I felt so exposed as I tried in vain to crouch down in the seat. I felt every car we passed could see my bared breasts. But soon, she had turned into the driveway and pulled in the garage. Never in my life had I been so relieved to be home. I retrieved my dress before getting out of the car and following her inside.
We walked to the bedroom in silence, me following about three steps behind. Once in the bedroom, Mistress turned, pulled me close and gave me a heart stopping, knee weakening kiss that seemed to last forever. When she pulled back, she told me to help her undress and prepare her for lounging. I removed her dress and unhooked the bra with practiced ease. Slipping her panties down her legs, I then went and picked out her favorite lingerie, a red teddy and black, silken robe. After she put on the clothes, I tidied up the bedroom and went to the living room to be with her. Her favorite light jazz station was playing softly on the speakers and I curled up next to her, still only wearing the waitress's panties.
"You were wonderful tonight, my little pet." she said as she stroked my hair. I had laid my head down on her lap, enjoying the feeling of her bare legs on my cheek.
"Thank you Mistress for the wonderful night. I had the most enjoyable time."
"Yes, I bet you did." she said, letting out a chuckle. "Everything went well except..." My eyes had been closed up to that point, but at that word, they flew open and a chill went down my spine. "Except, my little one, you hesitated. Twice." She was still petting me, her hand traveling from the top of my head, down my body and caressing my ass. I lay there, my heart pounding, as I tried to find a good excuse why. "One time, I could forgive, being nude in public a new experience for you. But, you also hesitated in the parking lot. Didn't I tell you I would never let any harm come to you little one? Didn't you swear that you would always trust me and follow every command?"
"Yes." I replied in a quiet squeak.
"And yet, you still did not execute my commands as soon as I said them, did you?"
"No." I couldn't stop the quivering in my lips. Tears were welling in my eyes as I lay there, knowing that I had messed up. I always trusted my Mistress. She said that she would always protect me from harm. I knew I shouldn't have hesitated but it was a bit much when she had ordered me to.
Still stroking my body, she leaned over and kissed my face. "I'll tell you what. Since this is your birthday, I will let you decide what implement that I should use to punish you, okay?" I nodded my head, too nervous to speak. At that moment, Mistress received a text on her phone. "Ah, okay. You have one half an hour to decide; paddle, spatula, slipper, or hand." With that, Mistress gently raised up, propping my head with a pillow as she maneuvered from under me and got off the couch, taking her phone with her. I could hear her talking in the other room but couldn't make out the words. I had other things to think about anyway. Oh God! Which one would I choose? She had spanked me before. I remember the first time like it was yesterday. The stinging of my ass, the feeling like I had been naughty. The fantastic sex when Mistress fucked me. I was looking forward to this with feelings of both dread and desire. It didn't seem like she was too mad. Maybe she would be more gentle this time if I chose her hand.
