Dr Peters?&#8221; I curled my lip up at the thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Leather and all,&#8221; Dexter told me hiding an obvious smirk at my distaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry princess. He has a sub, his wife. He doesn&#8217;t really take on anyone new.&#8221; He sat in the car beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Anyway, you are gonna be the mistress, remember?&#8221; He sounded like he was trying to make me more relaxed. But was worried about how I would react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I thought real doms didn&#8217;t like submitting though?&#8221; I remember reading that somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, but I love you my princess bride and I am willing to do anything to make up for what I did to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I had a chance to reply Dexter&#8217;s phone began to ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry,&#8221; he mouthed and pulled his phone out of his pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After less than a minute to speaking to the person on the other end, he hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry. That was Kay. He wants us to meet him at some store,&#8221; he told me and as if not thinking, he leaned over me and fastened my seat belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry,&#8221; he said again. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t mean\u2026 I mean\u2026&#8221; he rambled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Stop saying sorry Dex,&#8221; I placed my finger on his lips. He stopped speaking. I think he stopped breathing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You can breath though,&#8221; I joked and removed my finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t breath when you touch me. I just\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I know you are worried about us, but let&#8217;s just get through today and we will see what tomorrow brings.&#8221; I wasn&#8217;t going to lie to him, what happens or doesn&#8217;t have a lot to do with what test results comeback as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He fastened his own belt and started the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As long as you stay my friend, that&#8217;s all that I need,&#8221; He took my hand in his and kissed the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You going to tell me the store name?&#8221; I asked with my eyes glued to our hands which were still connected, as he drove one-handed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Satin n&#8217; Silk,&#8221; he answered quietly, as if worried what I would say or react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It rings a bell. But I do not know where from. So since you seem to be hiding something, tell me now? Unless you want me more mad with you?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is a store that sells all things a real sub or dom needs.&#8221; He answered in less than a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now, that wasn&#8217;t too hard was it,&#8221; I teased him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You aren&#8217;t angry?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why would I? It&#8217;s not as if I have a secret collection of erotic outfits and sex toys\u2026 OK, maybe the latter. But you have to remember my sex life with Nate was as fun as watching paint dry,&#8221; I told him without thinking. Being around him was starting to feel a bit more like when we were younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You have toys? As in plural?&#8221; He was trying to keep his voice normal but failing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right, so I know I probably should be teasing and messing with him after everything, but I can&#8217;t help it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just love him and he has always brought out my naughty side. I guess it is also partly because the fact that I am hoping beyond hope that he really was drugged and he was still a great guy I love. If I find out he wasn&#8217;t drugged, I don&#8217;t think I could stay around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would always feel at risk, what if he flipped and did it again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;But no, he is innocent,&#8217; I kept telling myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But of course. Do you just expect me to be a nun, whilst he is not giving any? Admittedly, I had not used them since that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before that it became part of my daily routine, that and watching porn on xvideos.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what was coming, I quickly add, &#8220;Do not even think it!&#8221; I warn, knowing he would say sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Until you wish me to start beating your ass now?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said nothing and I looked to the side to see him fighting back a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I would ask to watch you next time, but I don&#8217;t think were at that place in our relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Relationship?&#8221; I questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, friendship is a form of relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good save.&#8221; I laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s good to hear your laugh. I have missed it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll pulled up in front of a small building with blacked out windows and a back with pink lettering sign saying &#8216;Satin n&#8217; Silk.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looked like an Erotic Lingerie store, not leather, whips and chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Just to warn you princess,&#8221; he leaned over me again and unbuckled my seat belt. This was becoming a habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The woman who owns this store is a club dominant and her staff subs. She likes to keep it real.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If she asks you, you are a switch in training with both myself and Kay. That just means you can be a sub or dom,&#8221; he explained as we exited the car and walked towards the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly was kind of nervous about what I would find in the shop. So when I took Dexter&#8217;s hand in mine, he happily went along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Do not be nervous princess. I will be with you the whole time. It is just a shop.&#8221; He reassured me and opened the door for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sitting inside I was surprised to find every wall to be a bright pink colour and the floor pink tiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there was a lot of chains and all the kind of stuff you would expect. But pink? Come on, even I know that isn&#8217;t very dom or at least not to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dexter placed his hand on my back and led me to where Kaden and a gorgeous woman about thirty were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had short black hair and was wearing a latex rubber pink dress with four straps which went across a V-shaped front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I were into girls, I definitely would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hello Bunny, Dex,&#8221; Kaden hugged me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hey Kay,&#8221; Dexter and I said at the same time and I hugged him back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pulled back, &#8220;Cammie, this is our friend Hayley. Hayley, Mistress Cammie.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hello Hayley,&#8221; She purred. She reached forwards as if to shake my hand but instead kissed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow. That was kind of hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good to meet you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dexter cleared his throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Did you bring us here for a reason?&#8221; I&#8217;m pretty sure he was jealous of her. Ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Dexter,&#8221; Kaden gave him a hard warning look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cammie seemed unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Kaden tells me you are interested in our lifestyle and you are being introduced tomorrow night?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look to him but try to hide my shock. &#8220;I am?&#8221; It was more of a question than an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, she will be training under Kaden to be both a sub and a dom,&#8221; Dexter answers for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaden and Cammie both seem surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A switch? Are you not training her too?&#8221; Kaden asked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have volunteered to be her sub.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You have?&#8221; Cammie seemed more surprised than his cousin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think that is a great idea,&#8221; I just knew he wanted to add &#8216;under the circumstances&#8217;, but didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In that case, let us find you suitable apparel.&#8221; She walked over to a rack and came back with a very tight looking corset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaden looked to me as if asking a silent question. I gazed at my stomach and he smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No. I saw something I want you to wear.&#8221; He walked off somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think you would look good in this.&#8221; She held up the corset in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you think, Dexter?&#8221; She nodded to herself. &#8220;This, a leather thong and thigh boots,&#8221; she thought out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I glanced at Dexter to see him glaring at the poor woman, who seemed obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noticing my stare, I grinned getting an idea. His glare seemed to disappear and he relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps Dexter might like to wear a leather thong himself? Unless he has one already, that is?&#8221; I suggested innocently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commie&#8217;s eye&#8217;s sparkled with excitement. &#8220;Now you mention it,&#8221; She looked at him and tapped her chin. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen him in the club in less than trousers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Kat!&#8221; Within a second a handsome, buff man nor much younger than her ran out breathless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes mistress?&#8221; he asked with his head down, not looking at us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Take off your shorts!&#8221; my eyes widen when without question he removed them to reveal a pair of black leather pants as I described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I could think is &#8216;Why would a man like him, a man could rival the great Christian Grey himself willingly become a submissive, it be to a hot mistress, but still?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would ask why Dexter would too, but I already know the answer. I couldn&#8217;t help but stare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You mean you like them?&#8221; She asked and a dragged my gaze to her.<br>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; That came out a bit breathless and she smirked.<br>&#8220;Kat, drop!&#8221; He dropped as if on his haunches, like a real cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could feel Dexter rubbing my back through my clothing. &#8220;Would you like to touch him?&#8221; She asked seriously.<br>&#8220;Think of him as a real cat or dog, which ever you prefer?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had half a mind to ask him, but then I remembered he did what she wanted. If he wished not to do it, he had a safe word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Call him, he&#8217;ll come to you.&#8221; I felt Dexter&#8217;s hand still. I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;s jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe I could use this to my advantage.<br>&#8220;Kat,&#8221; I called firmly, but kinder than Cammie&#8217;s tone.<br>His eyes flicked up to me for a moment, I swear I saw a smile. Then, on his hands and knees he crawled over and rubbed up against my legs like a cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Touch him,&#8221; She told me as if a teacher.<br>&#8220;She is not your sub,&#8221; I heard Dexter growl.<br>&#8220;I never implied she was. I just thought she might want to stroke Kat, you know how sad and lonely he can get if he&#8217;s feeling neglected.&#8221; She replied innocently.<br>&#8220;Why not take a seat whilst you wait,&#8221; she spoke to me this time, then turned her attention again to her sub.<br>&#8220;Kat, you don&#8217;t mind if Miss Hayley sits on your back whilst she waits?&#8221;<br>&#8220;No Mistress.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is\u2026&#8221; Dexter began to complain again.<br>He was meant to be trying to win me over not p!ss me off.<br>&#8220;Dexter!&#8221; I snapped.<br>For a moment, he looked shocked, but then his gaze softened.<br>&#8220;Sorry Princess.&#8221; He said and I sat on Kat&#8217;s back.<br>I felt a bit bad about it. But he seemed to like it, if the way he purred as my fingers stroked his back said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I must say,&#8221; I looked up at Cammie but kept stroking Kat. &#8220;I am surprised that you got him to apologize and to be your sub. You must be special.&#8221;<br>&#8220;She is,&#8221; Kaden reentered the room. He looked at me and Kat and chuckled.<br>&#8220;Is he comfortable Bunny?&#8221;<br>&#8220;Surprisingly, yes.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Maybe Cammie might let you play with him another time?&#8221; He suggested looking to her.<br>&#8220;And perhaps I can play with your Miss Hayley another time?&#8221; She said in reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps,&#8221; He answered smirking. &#8220;Come here bunny. I have chosen you an outfit to try on. I will show you to the change room.&#8221;<br>I stood up and I do not know what possessed me but I slapped Kat&#8217;s bare backside.<br>&#8220;Get Dexter some,&#8221; I whispered to Cammie as I passed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I left the room with Kaden a second later. He led me to the back of the store where the changing rooms were.<br>&#8220;What did you say to her?&#8221; He asked with his hand on my back leading me.<br>I told him what happened.<br>&#8220;That&#8217;s a great idea. He&#8217;ll hate it.&#8221; He laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But seriously, he really is sorry. He has always loved you.&#8221;<br>&#8220;I know Kay,&#8221; I said hugging him.<br>&#8220;I just hope this test comes back positive. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll be able to stay around him if it isn&#8217;t.&#8221;<br>&#8220;I know it will be. But if the impossible happens, you can stay with me. You are like my own family, I&#8217;ll keep you both safe,&#8221; He reached down and rubbed my flat stomach.<br>&#8220;Thank you Kay. You&#8217;re the best.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Yes, I am.&#8221; I laughed at his modesty. &#8220;Now, get in there and change.&#8221; I turned to go and he slapped my backside. &#8220;Chop chop.&#8221; He smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I tried to choose something sexy and bad ass, but something you wouldn&#8217;t feel self-conscious in. I think I did a great job, if I do say so myself,&#8221; He told me through the door.<br>I looked at myself in the lengthways mirror. He had chosen me a long shelve, knee length black lace dress with leather patches in all the right places and a pair of black high heels with metal spikes.<br>&#8220;Knickers too?&#8221; I looked down at the black lace knickers.<br>&#8220;They&#8217;ll go better with the dress.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Ha.
