She found Me so easily. Ood do that, look ever outward with their telepathic gaze and see whom they can serve. The universes submissives, born to be slaves and content in their role, if content is a word the Ood would recognize as having any meaning.
The snows were deep that year. The poles of Ood always bore glacier ice but this year the chill in the air was sufficient to cast a white pall halfway to the equator. The TARDIS had landed in approximately the same position as always. Even though almost weightless the outline of Her base was clearly visible in several other places indicating that the spread of the polar icecap was still manifest after all these eons. No global warming here, no clouds of carbon based molecules permeating the atmosphere. Humanity was still a new disease in the Horsehead Nebula and its dirty footprint a distant multitude of centuries away.
I had taken to wearing kilts recently, after all kilts are cool! Today's was a particularly resplendent early 21st century punk style, black polyvinyl chloride with lots of zippers and studs. Very BDSM, very Me! Matched with some rather splendid scarlet tartan calf high sneakers, a brilliant white wing collared shirt, heavy cable stitch aran sweater and black bow-tie I was quite the sartorial absurdity. I refused the foolishness of a sporran, quite happy to let My companion enjoy the view she inspired and allowing her to pet the reticulated python on every practical occasion. Her favorite occupation was to nestle quietly between My thighs when I was seated and administer to My every desire with her more than eager lips and tongue.
Everything I ever asked for she magically accomplished. Without fail My every need, every desire was fulfilled by her ever willing service. How could a man even a Timelord be less than utterly bewitched and totally pleasured. Somehow not Me.
"Just ask me Hatter and all will be placed at your disposal. Your every desire is mine to anticipate and satisfy."
I cringed internally; I struggled and wriggled, finagled and avoided. Some find being served easy, assume its gift in some way elevates their worth; not Me.
"I am not a total loss you know!"
Of course I was, but hard it is to admit Ones major inabilities.
"Traveled a hundred galaxies quite successfully before we met!"
And started a million wars the sentence should have continued. Mayhem and murder followed the Hatters trail like bears after a honey pot.
"Just ask Hatter. Its so much easier than me having to guess what you need."
Well yes of course its easier, that's not the point. Just sometimes I don't want to have to ask for butter on My roll. Rolls should just be buttered as a matter of course.
"If you need more supplies in the pantry just tell me Hatter."
It has been a month since we scavenged for vittles of course we needed more.
Timelords are by their nature difficult, just a little less contrary than a professional debating team. True I was not the most typical by any means, had very little truck with the more dignified rules of behavior and followed no preordained pattern if another possibility was available, but still perversely obstinate in My eccentricity.
Needless to say it was impossible for Me to win any conflict. Yes I was the Dominant hand, the Captain of the ship, Navigator of the endless depths of space and time, but also by My nature easily distracted and deflected from My purpose and design.
"Yes Hatter. Of course Hatter."
How prettily and subserviently the words spilled from her blue painted lips.
"I am sorry if I ever seemed to misunderstand your intentions or wishes."
The way she flicked her hair away from her eyes was probably the first thing that had ever aroused me about her.
"I will do the task exactly in the manner that you wished."
She might as well have been talking micro babble. My eyes had fixed on hers and the uncharitable depths of those wondrous orbs had as usual captured My soul.
"Which order exactly did you want these sorted in again?"
I never fully understand how she managed to accomplish that particular position, yet there it was again. Bent at the waist, half turned away from Me, knees spread just far enough for perfect tight coital penetration.
"Alphabetical would be the best."
I tried to answer calmly but she knew exactly the strings to pluck and bent even further so the short shy blue flared kimono dress she wore rode up sufficiently to show the hint of her ass crack atop those muscular thighs I so admired.
"Human alphabet or Gallifreyan?"
