Paige's alarm sounded an hour earlier than usual this morning. It was picture day at school and she wanted to make sure she looked her very best.
She sprung out of bed and went about her morning routine, albeit a little expanded today. After her shower, she carefully dried and straightened her long, sandy hair. Next came make-up, something she normally used sparingly, but decided to go a little extra on today.
Paige carefully slid one of her mother's business card photos into the frame of her mirror and set to work on matching her face to it. She had always thought that some of the girls at school overdid their make-up and she didn't want to do that. Her mother was well-respected around her office and that's the image Paige wanted to project today.
Paige spent nearly an hour at the mirror, studying the photo and her own face. Adding a bit of eye-liner here, a hint of blush there, until she was satisfied that she looked good without looking overly painted.
Paige slid back into her bedroom and went about putting on the outfit she'd chosen the night before. A plain black skirt with a white blouse and white, knee-high stockings, set off with a pair or low black heels: simple and sophisticated, to her point of view.
Floating down the stairs for breakfast, her first words of the morning were for her mother today. "How do I look, mommy?" Paige asked, her voice almost squeaking with happiness.
Paige's mother looked her up and down slowly, stopping for a long time on her face. Paige did look different with more make-up, but she hadn't overdone it in the least.
"You look great, dear," Paige's mother replied.
The smile on Paige's face widened at hearing the assessment. "I didn't put on too much make-up, did I? I tried to look like you do in your business pictures."
"You look great, dear, I promise," Paige's mother repeated, reassuring her daughter.
Paige walked across the kitchen and presented herself to her father next. "How do I look, daddy?"
Paige's father looked up at her and smiled, "Like an angel, sweety."
Paige beamed again at her father's compliment, even though she knew he'd have said the same thing no matter how she looked.
Paige finished a light breakfast, hugged her parents goodbye as they left for work, and bounced out to the sidewalk to await the school bus.
Picture day went great for Paige, and at the end of the day, she was as perky as she had been that morning. She practically skipped off the bus, but her mood tempered a bit as she walked up to Lee's door.
She opened the door slowly, and, as was now the norm, Lee was waiting for her inside. At this point, she'd been playing for Lee nearly every day for almost a month. It wasn't even traumatizing any more, it was just part of her routine. In the private recesses of her mind, she may have even been starting to like it.
There was something different today, though. Lee looked her up and down a couple times as she entered. Paige blushed, not knowing what had gathered His attention today.
She immediately reached for the top button of her blouse, but stopped before opening it. She couldn't shake the different feeling she was getting from Lee today. She momentarily raised her eyes to His, and something was different, maybe softer about them.
Paige's cheeks burned a deep red, not knowing what was going on.
Lee soon snapped her back into her routine with a simple command: "Strip."
The hesitation in Paige's fingers immediately gave way to action. She slowly slipped open every button on her blouse and slid it off her shoulders. She carefully set the blouse aside, not wanting to wrinkle it at all.
Her hands slid up to her plain, white bra, reaching for the clasp.
"Stop," Lee ordered.
Paige looked up at Him, confused, questioning with her bright blue eyes.
"Leave that on, take off your skirt," Lee said.
Paige was a bit dumbstruck. He'd never asked her to be anything but completely nude. Even as she tried to comprehend this change, her hands worked almost absent from her mind and slid her skirt down and off. She placed it over her blouse, with the same careful calculation.
"That will be enough," Lee stated.
Paige looked down at her body, still clad in bra, panties, stockings and shoes. She was confused as to why He'd stop her here. He'd always watched her strip off every stitch of clothing, He must have enjoyed it. And yet, today, she was left very dressed in comparison to what He usually required.
"Follow Me," Lee commanded.
Lee lead Paige into His den, where she'd already become quite comfortable. She'd played in here many times over the past month.
Lee's camera waited in the usual spot to record the day's activities. But another change shocked Paige for a moment. Instead of taking His usual place behind the camera, Lee sat into His favorite chair.
Paige watched Lee for a few long moments, but no instructions seemed to be coming. Finally, she broke down and asked "What would you like me to do today?"
Lee looked in her eyes and answered her. "I want you to play with yourself, right here."
"But you're in the chair," Paige replied, half asking.
"I want you to play with yourself, while you're sitting in My lap," Lee explained.
Paige's heart started to race, her face flushed, almost painfully hot at the thought of something so...direct.
Lee began encouraging her. "You're still mostly dressed, I'm fully dressed. I'm not going to touch you at all."
