It was easy to tell when she’d gone to her happy place. She was his to guide. No fight, no resistance, just peaceful acceptance of his dominance over her. “Five.” His heart beat a tattoo in his chest and his cock had never been harder. Her submission filled him with pride, that she would give herself into his care, was a heady, addictive feeling. Nothing was sweeter than Meri relinquishing control to him.
“I’m going to inch a little deeper,” he warned as he thrust forward. Her grip tightened on his thighs and he froze, waiting to see if she needed him to pull back. “Six.” It only took a moment for her to relax again. “Good girl. You’re almost there. I’m so proud of you. You’re up to seven now. Only one more and then I’m going to fuck that talented mouth of yours. Eight.”
Ted pulled back and felt her take a breath. “You’ve got me ready to blow, Meri. When I come, you’re going to swallow every drop of it then lick me clean.” He was asking a lot from a newbie, but his pet only smiled and chuckled at him. The naughty look she sent him told him all he needed to know.
He took a firmer grip on her hair and began thrusting forcefully in and out of her mouth. On each down stroke she swirled her tongue over the head. Though he tried to keep a close watch on her facial expressions to be sure she wasn’t getting into trouble, he was fast losing control. Her hot mouth was sucking and licking him into a frenzy.
“Here we go, little one.” He forced his eyes open, needing to watch her take him. A look of pure joy crossed her face as he ejaculated in her mouth. The orgasm pulsed through him, making him glad he’d had the forethought to sit down before they’d got started. His knees were weak as hell as wave after wave of pure heaven washed over him. Normally, he stifled his vocal side, choosing to remain aloof, but not with Meri. She needed to know she’d pleased him. This time he allowed every emotion, every sensation, to be expressed.
His orgasm went on forever. Aftershocks coursed through him as Meri’s tongue swirled around the ridge of his cock. She had taken his command to heart.
“Come here,” he demanded, as he pulled her onto his lap. Again, he noticed how perfectly she fit into him. Her head found his shoulder and one of her hands rested over his heart. He wrapped his hand over hers and held it there, connecting them on an emotional level he’d never felt before. Ted kissed her forehead and accepted that he was completely fucked.

As Meri drove home from the charity event, she realised she was actually happy for the first time in…forever. She had spoken to Ted on the phone several times during the day. The conversations would start with a task. Once he told her to put her phone on speaker and kneel for fifteen minutes in front of a mirror while telling him what she saw reflecting back. It was a difficult experience, especially since he quickly became annoyed if she said anything derogatory. Saying something negative was easier than finding something positive.
Their conversations lasted about an hour each. Once the task was completed, their discussions moved easily onto other topics. Meri relished each one and was looking forward to getting home and speaking to him again.
As soon as she pulled into the garage, she headed for the bedroom to change into grubby clothes. Sitting on the dresser was a bag of goodies he’d given her as part of her training. She hadn’t looked too closely at what was inside. Without Ted there with her, she was a lot less willing to step outside her comfort zone.
Meri brewed a cup of tea, curled up on the couch and called Ted. He answered on the first ring.
“Hello, Sir. I’m finally home.” She had a goofy smile on her face just from talking to him. Goodness, she had it bad.
“Excellent. Why don’t you get on Skype? What’s your ID?”
“Uhm. I don’t have a Skype account.”
He was silent for a moment. “Does your computer have a web camera?”
“I doubt it. I’m not really a tech person so I don’t know for sure, but I think my computer came out before they were being widely used. It’s from my college days. Dan bought a nicer one after we were married, but I rarely used it. My job has me on the computer all day long, so once I get home I tend to be a low-tech person. I read books, listen to music, sit out in the garden…things like that.” Damn it, she sounded like a desperate little girl seeking approval. She was happy with her life. She just wished she had someone to share it with.
“No problem, Meri. We can use the phone instead. I want you to get out the small anal plug I sent home with you and boil it. It’s brand new and still in the wrapping, but you always want to make sure you clean it first.”
Meri left her comfy spot on the couch and opened up the bag. Both plugs looked reasonably small. She pulled out the copper-coloured torture device and headed to the kitchen. “Just heat water and put it in a sauce pan?” She was nervous and not entirely sure she wanted to go through with it.
“Yes. Why am I hearing hesitation in your voice? What’s going through your mind?” His voice was softer than usual, so different from his command persona.
His tone made it easier to confess. “I wish we were together doing this. It is much easier to face the unknown when you’re with me.”
After a few moments, he responded. “Do you have an early morning tomorrow?”
She sighed. “Unfortunately, I do.”
“We can wait until Tuesday night at the club, if you prefer.”
“No, but I appreciate you giving me the option.” It made her feel cared about, as if he wanted what was best for her rather than just following a common training regimen.
“Okay. There are cleaning instructions on the package. Follow them. Have you eaten?”
“They had the standard banquet dining experience.”
“Ahh, the barely cooked prime rib or chicken breast swimming in a concoction no one with taste buds would ever combine together.”
“I knew you were holding out on me, Sir. You have attended a few of these events at some point in your life.”
“Yes, my pet. I have and I vowed to never do so again.” He spoke with such conviction that Meri knew she would be attending each subsequent event alone…as usual.
Meri read the directions and followed them to the letter. “If I may ask, Sir, how did you spend your day?”
“The best part of it, I spent on the phone with you. While you were attending to business, I was as well. We are about to come out with a new product line. It was my own creation from start to finish. I’m excited to see how well it sells.”
“That’s fantastic. Will you tell me about it?”
“It would be easier to show you. I’ll plan on that for a night next week.”
“Thank you, Sir. You spoil me.”
Ted laughed. “We’ll see if you still feel that way at the end of this call.”
Meri’s tummy bottomed out and her clit throbbed. He had a way of getting her hot without any contact at all. It was a little disconcerting. “The plug is clean and cooling.”
“Perfect. Grab the bottle of lube, a washcloth and the plug. Go to your bedroom, take off your clothes and lay on the bed.”
“Yes, Sir.” Yep, no doubt about it, Ted knew exactly how to get her hot.
“Describe your room to me.”
“Well, it’s pretty basic. When my ex left, he took just about everything we’d purchased together. I’ve been using my grandmother’s set we’d had in the spare bedroom. It’s an antique sleigh bed that I barely fit on since it’s only a full. There’s a matching dresser and mirror. Someday, I’m going to have the mirror refinished so I won’t have to look at the cloudy spots along the edges. I should just break down and buy a new set.”
But shopping for furniture alone means admitting I’ll be forever alone and I’m not ready to do that yet.
Something wasn’t adding up. Her computer was outdated, her furniture were hand-me-downs… This did not sound like a board of directors banking executive. Either she lied on her application and the background check was skewed, or something else was going on. “Sounds like your ex took you to the cleaners.”
“Being a community property state hurt a bit. He had a right to half of everything, but I kept the house and I didn’t have to pay spousal support. All in all, it worked out fine. If I’d wanted to hire a lawyer and prove the marriage had been a farce from start to finish, I might have done better, but then the money would have gone to an attorney and I’d still be starting over so what did it matter?”
Listening to what she didn’t say, he’d bet she’d been embarrassed to find she’d married a player. She’d rather pay him to leave than have her mistake aired amongst their peers. It sounded like she was trying to save what was left of her pride by keeping the details private.
“I understand. One of the co-owners, Nick Branson, handles all the legal issues for the businesses. I’m more than happy to let him deal with all of it.”
“I know of him. He and his wife are ‘big deals’ in the community. I didn’t realise he was connected to the club.”
“Are you lying down?”
“Yes. What’s the easiest way to do this, Sir?”
“First, I want you to touch your clit. Tell me when you are close to orgasm.”
“O…kay.”
“I’m getting hard just thinking of you. I wish we were together too, Meri.” He probably shouldn’t have admitted that. She was likely to get the wrong impression. Even though he thought about her constantly, even dreamed about her at night, he knew they would never be able to have anything long-term.
Her breathing changed. It became heavier and a little faster.
“With your other hand, pinch your nipple hard.”
Meri’s soft whimper sent his cock throbbing. “Harder, my pet.” He used his stern Dom voice to pierce through the layers of arousal fogging her brain.
She moaned and gasped, proving she was following his instructions. “I’m close, Sir.”
“Good girl. Put your hands behind your head and leave them there until I tell you otherwise.”
Her frustrated whimper had him smiling.
“Yes, Sir.” Her tone, so full of disappointment, made him chuckle.
Ted decided to throw her a curve and take her mind off her body. “André and I started the business while we were at grad school together. What started out as a school assignment turned into an Internet business then grew to a multi-million dollar endeavour. When a competitor lost everything in a liability lawsuit, André brought in Nick. He restructured the guidelines for each club, set up safety protocols and created the member contracts. After looking over the whole operation, he bought in and now handles the legal end of both the toys and clubs.”
A devious smile played across his lips as he decided it was time to bring her arousal back to the forefront. “Now, touch your clit again. I want you dripping wet.”
He waited patiently until her breathing changed and soft, delicious sounds started drifting through the phone lines. “Pinch your other nipple. Pull and squeeze until the line between pain and pleasure begins to blur.”
It didn’t take nearly as long this time before she was panting. “I’m close, Sir. May I come?”
“No, Meri, you may not. Lay on your side with the leg touching the bed out straight. Your other leg should be bent with your foot resting on the bed. Take a decent amount of lube and rub it around the opening of your anus. Push back with your muscles and get the entrance lubed also. Do it more than once. The trick to anal is lots of lube. As soon as you think you have it sufficiently lubed, do it again.”
Meri giggled. “Okay, it feels pretty squishy.”
“Good. Now apply lube to the shaft of the plug. Don’t be stingy. When you are ready to slide it in, use your muscles to push back. Tell me once you begin the process.”
“Okay, it’s in a little. It kinda burns.”
“Hold it still and play with your clit. When the burning subsides, push it in a little farther.”
“It looked so small. Not even the width of two fingers, yet it feels so much bigger. I can’t imagine ever taking the size of your cock. Maybe we’ve found the one petite part of my body.”
Her nervous laugh betrayed a real anxiety. He should have waited until they could be together before he introduced her to the plugs. He was just too damn anxious to get inside her to wait. “Have no fears, little one. We will take it slowly. If you decide anal isn’t something you want to pursue, we can stop at any time. I’m in charge, but you set the rules. Nothing happens that you don’t approve of first.”
“Thanks. Sometimes, I think I need a reminder.” She took a deep breath and worked it the rest of the way. “It’s in. That last little bit was a real test.”
“I’m proud of you, Meri. You’re so brave. Now, take your hand away from your clit and tell me how you’re feeling.”
“Awkward…like there’s a foreign object up my butt. It isn’t burning any more though, so I guess it’s all good.” Relief was evident in her voice.
“In a few minutes you’ll barely know it’s there.”
“I’ll have to take your word for that one, Sir.”
Ted laughed. He found he did that a lot with Meri. For whatever reason, he was able to let his guard down with her. After waking up on his couch with her still asleep in his arms Saturday evening, there was no fooling himself into thinking she was just another sub.
He wasn’t sure how to proceed. If he let her come, it would give her a pleasurable experience related to anal play, but he wanted to be with her when she flew apart. Coming only by his touch would build a bond between them he shouldn’t want built. He needed to take a few minutes to think this through. “Tell me about yourself, Meri.”
“Oh, goodness, there isn’t much you don’t already know. Uhm, I’ve worked at one of the local credit unions since high school. They’ve been good to me. They paid my way through school, worked around my crazy schedules and gave me a chance to put my ideas into action. For the last few years, my life has revolved around work. Well that and spoiling my nieces and nephews every chance I get.”
“Do you want kids of your own?” In some vague recess of his brain that he rarely let see the light of day, he had tucked away a dream of having a wife and kids. The women he scened with were pleasant distractions, not people he was interested in spending time with or getting to know outside the club. Meri, if she weren’t a fucking mover and shaker in the community, might have been.
