"Remember Shonda? From the play party?"

"Yeah," you reply, "how could I forget?" Your mind goes back to the party Wednesday night, particularly the sight of Alice on the bondage device, tied up and writhing in pain and pleasure, moaning and sweating. It's a sight you wouldn't mind seeing again, especially if it gets Alice off as powerfully as she did Wednesday night again.

"I've been talking to her the last couple days, and paid her a visit this morning at work". Alice continues in another text, "you gave her a really good first impression, and she'd like to host you for the weekend...kind of like, a boot camp for kinky stuff, hehe".

You're not entirely sure what she means. "You mean stay there?" you ask.

"Yeah," Alice replies.

"The two of us?"

She responds, "no, just you".

You reply back, "you're comfortable with this?"

A minute passes, and Alice responds, "why wouldn't I be? Would I be suggesting it if I wasn't?"

"It just seems weird to spend the weekend at the house of a woman we barely know," you reply, "that's all".

Alice texts back, "it's not like I won't know where you're at or what you're doing, I already talked to Shonda about it. She's expecting you. Besides, it'll be nice to have the apartment by myself...hehe."

"I'm just not sure about this..." you reply back.

A couple minutes pass, and you get a reply. "I'm ordering you to do it. I told you it was fine, twice. That means it's fine. Obey me."

Woah. You blink at the phone a few times, absorbing what Alice texted you. You knew she wanted to be more assertive, and you even told her you wanted her to be more assertive, but you never expected anything like this. Not this direct. Still, there's something nice about it, and you feel a rush of excitement at the idea of being ordered like this.

You text back, "okay, what should I do?"

Alice responds, "go to her house straight after work. You don't need to pick up anything here, I already made arrangements when I visited her at the bank. Everything you need is already with her, and I'll pick up your car from there later tonight."

Alice sends you the address to Shonda's house and her phone number, followed by a text. "You won't get to talk to me until Sunday night when I pick you up, so I'll say bye and I love you now. Listen to Shonda and do what she says, just like she was me."

You type back, "okay, baby. I love you too."

Alice doesn't send you a text for the rest of the day. You told her you'd do this for her, and you don't know what she or this friend of hers have planned, which leaves you full of apprehension, worry, and excitement. You trust Alice completely, and if she says Shonda is all right, she must be. Still, you're not entirely comfortable with spending an entire weekend in the house of someone you've only met once.

Your workday drags along, and you finish your workload well ahead of quitting time. Your boss actually gives you permission to go home at mid-afternoon, and you decide to text Shonda.

"Shonda, it's Alice's fiance...she sent me your number. I got off work early, is it too early to come over?"

A couple minutes later, you get a text back. "Hi honey, it's fine. I'm not home yet but come on over, Bunny will let you in. Remember the rules."

You text back, "okay". You get in your car and drive out to the suburbs, and eventually find Shonda's house. It's even nicer-looking in the daytime than it was at night -- a lovely two-story house, with immaculate landscaping and a two-car garage, and a decently-sized backyard around which is a privacy fence. Alice was right, this is exactly the kind of house you'd love to live in someday.

You park your car on the curb, lock it, and walk up to the front door to ring the doorbell. Just as before, there is a bit of a delay before Bunny opens the door, wearing his robe.

"Hey there," Bunny says. "Shonda didn't mention you'd be over this early".

"I am," you say a bit nervously. "Can I come in?"

"Of course!" Bunny says, smiling. He steps away from the door, and you walk in. When Bunny shuts and locks the door, he removes his robe, exposing his naked, pierced and caged, body. You're still uncomfortable being in the presence of another naked man, but try to hide it to avoid offending him.

"Don't forget the rules," Bunny says.

"Yeah..." you say, knowing there's no avoiding it. You strip off your clothes, getting completely naked. You feel exposed and ****, but a bit thrilled, and look for a place to put them. Bunny holds out his arms, and you shrug and hand him your clothes.

Bunny folds them neatly, removing your keys, phone, and other personal effects from the pockets. Those he places on top of the clothes, and sets them on the table in the foyer. Bunny looks you up and down, and says, "I already know what Shonda would have you do first...so let's go ahead and get that done, to get on her good side, okay?"

You nod, shrugging. "What is it?" you ask.

Bunny says, "let me show you the bathroom". He leads you through the kitchen, to a small bathroom with only a sink, toilet, toiletry and linen cabinet, and shower off to the side. He reaches into the cabinet and hands you a couple disposable razors, shaving cream, pair of grooming scissors, and a towel. He tells you, "go ahead and shower now, and shave your body".

You blink at him. "Shave? Where?"

Bunny says, "all of it. Face, chest, arms, legs, pubes, butt. I like to wax, but since you're only here for the weekend, shaving will do."

"I..." you say, a bit disoriented and feeling very self-conscious. "Okay, thanks".

Bunny leaves the door open on his way out of the bathroom, saying, "subs aren't allowed to be in rooms alone with doors shut in the house".
