Previously::: Anna gathers her courage, and finally goes to meet the man that she calls Master to experience it all in person.
Left to herself, Anna would have lingered in the washroom, as she had just orgasmed in the middle of the dining room, and while she had recovered from the embarrassment, her body wanted to come again, and soon.
At the same time, her Man (there she was thinking of him in possessive terms, that was dangerous) was watching and waiting; she knew better than to keep Him waiting.
She had already decided to put the choker on, and while she didn't know what the next 24 hours would hold in particular, she had imagined all kinds of things, touched herself multiple times a day until she felt like a sex addict, dreaming of this night for months.
When she got settled in the stall, she was amazed at how wet she was, her nice panties were soaked through. As she feared, there was a wet spot on the back of her skirt as well, so it now made perfect sense that she had been instructed to wear a dark skirt. She wasn't sure if she was embarrassed or proud of parading around wearing her "badge of wetness". Her lip curled a bit at the irony of being chagrined at her brazen public behavior, while she was currently so lust-filled that the thought of her mystery Man grabbing her, bending her over a table and mounting her right in the middle of the dining room made her heart race.
In-spite of her heightened arousal, her face flushed full red. Those kind of thoughts were far more randy that she had ever entertained, and yet there was no doubt in her mind that she would willingly march out there right now and and present herself to be taken by the Man she thought of as Master. It was not even what she might have to experience before she could be sated, but rather her desire to be filled, to be completed, to submit to the totality of it all.
As the mist of desire lifted a bit, Anna considered what was to come, and the less impulsive part of her mind began to worry. In a strange way, He had made the first part easier for her to ease into this evening without feeling afraid. He had used His own extensive knowledge of her wants and desires to craft the environment, heighten her arousal. He didn't *make* her do anything - yet! But He knew her impetuous nature, and set the stage where it was likely that she would take things "into her own hands". Not surprisingly, she did, even in the midst of a full room of dinner patrons.
Thinking about how completely He had manipulated her, nervousness now vied with her arousal, and she thought about how to escape. She didn't know where He was, so how could she avoid Him? For all she knew He was waiting outside the bathroom now with thugs, dressed all in black with ski masks on! Being grabbed, bound and gagged, a black bag over her head and hustled off into a waiting van in the dark just like they showed in the movies. A Man so intent oh having her that He will stop at nothing to consummate His carnal desires. That was by turns terrifying and hot.
She took a steadying breath and calmed herself - she was being irrational and over the top now. Feeling trapped by her choices, she had a hard time concentrating; her thoughts scattered like a flock of birds that were startled. Maybe if she could get outside without Him seeing her, she could text Him that she had come down with something ... ask to reschedule. It was lame, but the best that she come up with in her altered state. The washrooms were close to the front door, but He would be watching, waiting. Again, she felt like prey being stalked by a predator. Then she had an inspiration - there was balcony seating along one edge of the dining area! If she could get out onto the balcony, she could skirt around the main area, cross the dimly lit balcony, and slip out the door.
There wasn't a moment to lose, so she cleaned herself as well as she could, gave a rueful shake of her head at her spreading wet-spot, and steeled herself for her escape. The rest of the washroom was empty, so she eased the door open a crack, holding her breath. She couldn't see anyone in the short hallway to her left, so she quickly shot through the door, and set off for balcony.
Much like a scared rabbit fleeing a predator, she suffered from tunnel vision, and never thought to look to her right as she left the ladies room. If she had, she would have seen the server who brought her the envelope lurking by the service door at the end of the hallway.
She reached the edge of the dining room, and hesitated. if she circled the dining area along it's edge to the right, she could reach a balcony door without becoming visible by walking near the lights of a table. The only obstacle to her plan was the pool of bright light in front of the main kitchen entrance. She would have to cross through that light to reach the balcony.
Her heart had begun to beat faster as the feeling of being pursued took hold, and she knew that there was no time to come up with a better plan. In a fast walk that drew some glances, she took off for the balcony.
Unseen by Anna, the server stepped out of the hallway behind her, and looked far across the tables to the left balcony door closest to the exit. Just beyond the curtain that draped the doorway, the server saw the large man back-lit by the starlight. The server then slowly nodded in the affirmative, then inclined his head to the right.
