Sandra

"Sandra! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Sorry. Sorry. I couldn't sleep so I went for a drive and suddenly I ended outside up outside of your apartment. Crazy how that happens." She laughed. I didn't.

"Since we were meeting for breakfast anyway I thought that we could have it here?" Sandra held up a brown paper bag. "Fresh bagels and fresh coffee for the three of us.?

"That's considerate of you." I scratched my head. "Hold on while I go wake up sleeping beauty."

"No, wait. I would really like to have a chat with you before I meet her. You had something to get off your chest last night. I have something to get off my chest today."

Well, this was going to be interesting. I rub the sleep from my eyes.

"I know I said some things last night that might have been confusing." She sighed. "I've never been in a Master/**** relationship. But, they're not really strange to me either. In fact you could say that I grew up in one. My Dad was my Mom's Master. She wore her collar around the house, followed strict rules, and was always obedient to him. The only reason she isn't now is because he died two years back. To me, a guy keeping a live-in **** is more...nostalgic then anything."

Suddenly things were falling into place. The reason why Sandra had acted as she had. She had laughed because her mother had been a **** as well. That was why she had taken it all so well. I felt a weight lift from my chest. I smiled at her, she reciprocated.

"Thanks, Sandra. I was a bit freaked out last night. That explains a lot." I laughed. "Funny how life works." Sandra gave me a look that I can't quite read.

Yeah. Funny." She didn't laugh. "Don't thing you're off the hook though. I'm want to meet Paige before I know if I'm cool with this. I want to know about your relationship. You say it you don't want to be her boyfriend, but the question is if she feels the same way?"

I nodded my head. I could see the wisdom in her words. She did not want to barge into a situation she did not fully understand. I gave Sandra a gentle kiss on her lips and gave her an understanding look.

"Wait here. I'll get Paige."

Sandra gave me a nervous smile. I guess she was a bit anxious of meeting Paige after all. I walked into to the bedroom and stared at Paige's naked body. She looked so at peace when she was sleeping. I started rattling Paige's dog basket to wake her up and soon she opened her sleepy eyes. When Paige saw me by her basket she immediately became alert and sat up.

"Good morning, Master" Paige bowed her head.

"Good morning, girl. Come with me."

Paige tilted her head in confusion. I offered her no explanation though. I simply clipped a leash to her collar and led her back to the room, crawling and naked on all fours.

This was nerve racking. The baptism of fire, and all that. How would Sandra and Paige react to each other? There was only one way to find out.
