For those of you looking for a quick fix or a cheap thrill I suggest you look elsewhere. This story builds slowly and I hope that at least some of you will persevere to the end.

The View From The Window.
The first time I met Anna we didn't speak. No sound passed between us. For my part the only sound was some soft music in the background. It was a long time ago but I believe it was Beethoven but I might be wrong and either way it's not really important. What was important was the silence that was filled with messages, hesitant at first but becoming quickly bolder. I was I think more used to this than she was at the time as I spent a lot of time chatting both at home and around the world. She, it turned out, was taking her first baby steps not just in the world of idle chat but into one of a more intimate nature.
Let me start from an earlier beginning. I have both a public and a private persona which are kept separate from each other. Not through shame on my part but through the difficulty many of my friends and colleagues would have with my other lifestyle. To most of the world I am simply a middle-aged lesbian with a nice middle-class job in a nice home. Even my best friends know me as such and accept me. I'm sure some of the neighbours must use me for some over the wall gossip but to my face they are as friendly and kind as one could wish for. It is after work and in the privacy of my home that my more secret side comes to the fore.
In those more private moments I am a Mistress or Domme, call me what you will. Some of you may already be aware of the lifestyle, may even be part of it, in which case little more is needed in the way of explanation. Others may be completely ignorant or mildly intrigued. Although I have had one or two 'girlfriends' in real life most of my work, and I do think of it as work, has been done online sometimes via Skype but mostly via text chat. It may seem strange to the uninitiated but there are many women who enjoy and crave being submissive to someone else. Anna was one of those.
I regularly use a chat and meeting site designed for those of us who are into the lifestyle to meet and chat and occasionally get more intimate with each other. For the most part I spend most of my time simply chatting with like-minded people and that was what I was doing on the night I met shyanna as her on-site name showed her to be. At first she was a silent watcher in the crowd while I chatted away to other regulars. Then, at very rare moments, she would come out with a comment before lapsing back into silence. For some reason her posts began to capture my attention and I started to respond to each one with a comment in reply. Slowly she began to comment more often and the underlying impression I got was that here was a young girl who was a newcomer to the site and who was very nervous, almost frightened to be there. After about an hour in among all the general chit-chat we began to get a little rapport going and I could sense that she was beginning to relax. Her posts became very obviously directed at me alone. One regular friend in chat even joked that I had a new fan. Annoyingly this sent her back into her shell and it was a few minutes before she posted again. As she had now piqued my interest and to avoid her any further embarrassment I decided to offer her the chance of a more private one to one chat so I opened a chat box in her name.
Mistress_Christine: hello shy anna.
There was then a long pause before ...
shyanna: hello Mistress Christine.
Mistress_Christine: please, just call me Christine.
shyanna: sorry Miss. I mean sorry Christine.
Mistress_Christine: you're new here?
shyanna: yes Miss I joined today.
I decided to let her use of the title Miss go for now. She seemed more comfortable when she used it as many do.
Mistress_Christine: in that case welcome. Are you enjoying your first experience?
shyanna: I am Miss mostly thanks to you chatting to me.
Mistress_Christine: the pleasure is all mine. What prompted you in here in the first place?
Here again there was a pause during which I brought her profile on screen. This claimed that she was 19 (a year over the minimum allowed by the site), a lesbian, of average build and height, blonde and of most interest, living very close by.
shyanna: I sort of found it by accident Miss. And it interested me.
Mistress_Christine: interested in what way?
Poor girl, I was keeping her off-balance with all my questions.
Mistress_Christine: does the D/s lifestyle interest you?
shyanna: I'm not sure Miss.
Mistress_Christine: not sure? But curious enough to come in here, fill out a profile and start chatting?
shyanna: yes Miss.
Mistress_Christine: I've read your profile.
shyanna: is it ok, Miss?
Mistress_Christine: how long have you known you were a lesbian?
shyanna: since about 13 Miss.
Mistress_Christine: and now you are looking at pastures new?
Again a pause.
shyanna: I'm not sure Miss.
Mistress_Christine: tell me about your last girlfriend. Did she dominate you?
shyanna: errr not really Miss
Mistress_Christine: not really? What is that supposed to mean?
shyanna: I suppose she was more or less in charge
Mistress_Christine: and you were happy with that?
shyanna: in a way it was nice not having to decide everything
Mistress_Christine: is she still around?
shyanna: no Miss she moved away
Mistress_Christine: and since then?
shyanna: nothing Miss
Mistress_Christine: so now you are frustrated and thought to pick on me?
shyanna: no Miss please don't think that
Mistress_Christine: be that as it may I have to go now. If you are lucky I may be here tomorrow night
shyanna: I shall try and be here Miss
Mistress_Christine: goodnight for now
shyanna: goodnight Miss
And that, in essence, was the first conversation we had. She was to me interesting but not outstanding as a prospect although there was something that hinted of more to come. The true test would be tomorrow. Would she be there? Would she summon the courage to contact me? I was interested enough to want to find out.
The next night I deliberately didn't log on to the site. I thought I'd let her stew for a while. I needed to make it clear that I was not at her beck and call and that it was her job to wait for me. Two nights later I finally logged on quite late only half expecting her to be there. I scanned the list of names and, to my surprise, there she was. I ignored her and started joining in with the general conversation and making it clear that I had arrived in the room. After about ten minutes her name appeared at the top of the page. I ignored this as well for a further five minutes before finally opening the box to see what she had written.
shyanna: good evening Miss may I talk to you?
Mistress_Christine: you may
shyanna: I waited for you last night Miss
Mistress_Christine: I was busy elsewhere
shyanna: of course Miss thank you for being here tonight
Mistress_Christine: I don't have long but we can chat for a while
shyanna: thank you Miss
I left a silence to see how she would respond.
shyanna: I really enjoyed our chat the other day Miss
Mistress_Christine: do you have a desktop or a laptop?
shyanna: I have a laptop Miss
Mistress_Christine: good ... kneel on the floor with the laptop in front of you
There was a slight pause
shyanna: I am kneeling Miss
Mistress_Christine: good ... from now on when we chat you will be kneeling, is that clear?
shyanna: yes Miss
Mistress_Christine: how do you feel about kneeling for me?
shyanna: it sort of feels right Miss
And that was as far as I pushed her on that night. It is too easy to force a novice sub to go too quickly and frighten them away but I was pleased with the fact that she already showed a willingness to obey and seemed to be comfortable with being told to kneel. The rest of our short time that evening was spent in mild questioning from me with useful information gleaned from her. She worked as a junior clerk in a bank and lived alone in a small flat on the first floor of a Victorian house. From what I could tell it seemed to be quite close by. This was both exciting and hinted at a need for caution on my part.
So it went on for a few more meetings. Slowly I progressed her through various stages. After two more meetings she was kneeling in just her bra and panties. I asked her if she was aroused and she hesitantly agreed that she was. That night I left her in a state of arousal with the instruction to masturbate after I had left and to report back to me the next time which she duly did. She was slowly becoming less nervous and began to talk more freely about her feeling both in and out of chat. We also spoke more about her generally and through snippets of information she let slip I worked out that she wasn't just living in the same district as me but that we were almost next door neighbours. A couple of times on the way home from work I drove past what I believed to be her home. It was a three storey Victorian house with high ceilings for both the ground and first floors. There was an ornate wrought-iron balcony across the front of the house that she had once mentioned she had access to through a French window in her flat. She said she would sometimes sit there on warm summer evenings. I just needed to confirm my guess.
Over the next couple of chats I persuaded her to switch to Skype. For intimate chats I prefer it to the chat room as I'm no longer conscious of a roomful of inquisitive women next door and the continuous interruptions from other girls eager to play. We began by continuing with chat as she was comfortable with that. I was also still instructing her to bring herself to an orgasm after each chat. The night we first went on Skype I changed that instruction and forbade her to touch herself until I gave her permission. The disappointed tone of her chat was almost palpable but she promised to be obedient.
The next time we chatted, which was a couple of days later, I suggested we switch to voice chat as this would make life easier. I also felt, but didn't mention it to her, that it would free up her hands. At this point she was still appearing for me kneeling and wearing her bra and panties. Eventually I wanted to switch to camera mode and I wanted her to reveal herself while being watched.
Using voice made it much easier to pick up the nuances of her feelings. Nervous to begin with but slowly relaxing, brief pauses when I asked her awkward or intimate questions.
"Have you had an orgasm since we spoke last?"
"No Miss you told me not to."
"Good girl."
"Do you want to?"
"Oh yes Miss."
"And will you ... after I've left?"
"Only if you say I can Miss."
"But you are hoping that I give permission."
"Yes please Miss."
"I like a girl who is obedient. I am pleased with you so far ... and how is it ... talking and not typing?"
"You have a lovely voice Miss."
"Thank you. Your voice sounds even younger that you are."
"A few people have said that Miss."
We chatted on for about an hour during which time I didn't make her do anything new as I thought getting her used to using her voice was enough for one night. There was just one more thing I needed to do before signing off.
"I am going soon shy anna."
"Oh Miss ..."
