Alex glanced fearfully around the fairly crowded coffee shop, nearly convinced that at any second someone was going to grab her and run off with her, never to be seen again. Alex had such a tight grip on her hand that Olivia was convinced that her knuckles were going to fuse together.
"You're okay, baby. I'm so proud of you. Such a good girl." Olivia praised kindly, gently stroking the side of Alex's face to soothe her.
"Do you still have it, Ma'am?" Alex asked quietly, leaning into her Mistress's affection.
Olivia discreetly pulled her jacket open to show Alex the taser hidden inside. Dr. Lindstrom had recommended setting a goal for one short outing each day leading up to the trial in two weeks to slowly and gently get Alex used to leaving the apartment and realizing that she was perfectly safe. Today their goal was to come to the coffee shop to get drinks and cinnamon rolls, and Alex had asked Olivia if she could bring her taser with her for added peace of mind, which Olivia had agreed to do. It was finally their turn in line and they were surprised to be greeted by a familiar face.
"Good afternoon, what can I get for you ladies today?" Brooke plastered a fake smile on her face, trying not to die of embarrassment when she recognized the two women who had walked up to her counter.
"Hello. Two cinnamon rolls and two chai spice lattes, please." Olivia requested with a smile, pretending not to recognize the woman behind the counter.
"Coming right up." Brooke nodded and turned around to fetch the requested items.
"Where are you supposed to be, little one?" Olivia prompted kindly as they exited the coffee shop and began to walk home, taking a gentle but dominant hold of Alex's hair to stop her from walking any further.
Alex blushed lightly at the reminder and moved to Olivia's right side where she was supposed to walk when they were out and about.
"That's my good girl." Olivia praised as they continued to walk back to their apartment. Alex beamed at her Mistress's praise, balancing their purchases in her arms.
Back at their apartment, Alex breathed a sigh of relief as Olivia closed and locked the door behind them while Alex stripped out of her jeans and shirt, leaving her in her bra and panties the way she was usually dressed around the house. Olivia sat on the couch and Alex knelt at Olivia's feet while they enjoyed their drinks and cinnamon rolls. When they were finished, Alex threw away their trash and then resumed her place kneeling at Olivia's feet, awaiting her beloved Mistress's next order.
"Come here, baby." Olivia opened her arms.
Alex happily snuggled on Olivia's lap as Olivia cuddled and rocked her.
"I'm so proud of you, my angel. I want you to tell me everything you were thinking and feeling while we were out today." Olivia gently stroked the side of Alex's face and Alex nuzzled her cheek into her Mistress's gentle palm.
"I was scared while we were walking there; I was scared someone was going to jump out of the bushes and take me away again. And while we were at the coffee shop I was really scared because there were so many strangers. But walking back, I wasn't as scared because I know you would never let anyone hurt me." Alex replied honestly.
"I will always protect you, baby. No one is ever going to take you away from me again." Olivia assured her kindly, gently kissing Alex's forehead.
Later that day, Olivia was lounging on the couch scrolling through emails on her phone when Alex dropped to her knees at Olivia's feet and quietly waited to be acknowledged. She didn't have to wait long.
"Hey, sweetheart. What have you got there?" Olivia smiled as she set aside her phone, noticing that Alex had something in her hands.
"Will you please put these on me, Ma'am?" Alex asked, holding up a pair of fuzzy blue handcuffs.
"Are you sure you're ready to try, baby? There's no hurry, you can take as much time as you need until you really feel ready." Olivia said kindly, taking the handcuffs from Alex.
"I would like to try, Ma'am." Alex replied.
"Give me your wrists." Olivia ordered kindly.
Alex obediently presented her wrists to her Mistress and Olivia gently fastened the velcro handcuffs around them, making certain that they were secure but not too tight, watching carefully for any signs of fear as she did so.
"Go mop the kitchen floor. When you're finished, come find me and I'll take them off. If you need to safeword before then, call out and I'll come right away and take them off." Olivia instructed.
"Yes, Ma'am." Alex responded obediently and turned to do as she was told, smiling when Olivia gave her a playful spank.
It only took Alex a few minutes to figure out the most efficient way to complete her task while her wrists were handcuffed and she was amazed to find that completing her chores while she was handcuffed was actually relaxing and hot. She still wasn't ready for any kind of sexual contact, but maybe she was ready to start dipping her toes in the water. When she was finished mopping the kitchen floor, Alex put the cleaning supplies away and found Olivia still sitting on the couch. The submissive blonde dropped to her knees at Olivia's feet again and waited to be acknowledged.
"All done? Let's see how you did." Olivia stood from the couch and went to check on Alex's work.
"Such a good girl." Olivia praised, gently stroking the side of Alex's face and removing the handcuffs from Alex's wrists. Alex beamed.
"Ma'am, can we please go to the bedroom and maybe try something simple? Like maybe sensation play?" Alex asked, suggesting what had been one of her favorite activities before she was kidnapped.
"Hmm. I think that can be arranged since you've been such a good girl today. What do you say if you get scared or decide you want to stop?" Olivia inquired.
"Chocolate." Alex responded.
"That's my good girl."
Olivia took a gentle but dominant hold of Alex's hair and led her through the apartment to the bedroom. She stripped Alex out of her bra and panties, guided Alex to lie down flat on the center of the bed, and gently lifted her arms above her head and attached the handcuffs to the headboard, then she adjusted the cuffs around Alex's wrists so that if Alex got scared, all she would need is one good tug and she would be able to free herself. Alex glanced up above her at the cuffs, wondering if she would get in trouble for testing them.
"You can test them as much as you need to, baby." Olivia said kindly as she moved about the room preparing things, practically reading Alex's mind.
Alex pulled on her restraints and was relieved to find that she could indeed free herself if she needed to. Olivia picked up a blindfold and let Alex look at it for several long minutes, again watching carefully for any signs of fear as she gently slipped the blindfold into place over Alex's eyes. Alex let out a fearful whimper as she descended into darkness and her breathing became ragged.
"I'm right here, my angel. I won't leave you." Olivia assured her lovingly, placing a gentle hand on Alex's belly and the other over her heart until she felt Alex's breathing even out and her heartbeat became steady.
Olivia drizzled lavender-scented lotion onto her hands and began to carefully massage Alex's feet. Alex massaged her feet every day after work, so Olivia decided to return the favor, making certain to take her time and let Alex enjoy the experience. Without her sight, Alex's other senses were heightened; she could smell the relaxing lavender scent of the lotion, and Olivia's gentle hands massaging her feet felt amazing. Olivia drizzled more lotion onto her hands and massaged Alex's long legs, her belly, arms, and hands. Then she gently flipped Alex onto her belly, drizzled more lotion on her hands, and massaged Alex's shoulders, back, bottom, and thighs before turning Alex onto her back again.
"Oooohhhhhh…" Alex moaned as she felt the Wartenberg pinwheel gently gliding down her left arm, although without her sight she had no way of knowing what kind of implement her Mistress was using.
"Tell me what you feel, baby." Olivia instructed as she gently glided the pinwheel down Alex's right arm.
"It feels sharp, like needles, but not painful."
"Do you like it?" Olivia glided the pinwheel along various parts of Alex's body.
"Yes, Ma'am. It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, in a good way."
Alex suddenly began to giggle as she felt something soft tickling the tip of her nose. She shook her head from side to side trying to get away from the ticklish sensation.
"Stay still, baby, and tell me what you feel." Olivia smiled, moving down to tickle Alex's neck with the feather in her hand.
"It tickles, Ma'am!" Alex giggled.
"Do you like it?" Olivia stroked the feather down Alex's torso and gently dipped it into her belly button.
"Eek! Y-Yes, M-Ma'am!" Alex giggled, struggling to stay obediently still.
"Uh-oh, I think somebody's ticklish." Olivia teased, setting the feather aside and gently dancing her nails up and down Alex's sides and across her belly.
Alex managed to roll onto her stomach, exposing her bare bottom to her Mistress's attention.
"Is that an invitation?" Olivia teased, lightly pinching Alex's bottom, making her squeal.
Olivia maneuvered Alex so that she was draped across her lap and she gently rubbed Alex's bottom until Alex's bottom muscles relaxed. Olivia raised up her hand and brought it down with medium force on Alex's bottom, and then she gently rubbed the sting away before delivering another spank and again rubbing the sting away. Alex sighed happily as she was slowly and sensually spanked.
"Tell me what you feel, baby." Olivia instructed.
"It stings, Ma'am. My bottom feels warm." Alex replied.
"And who does this beautiful backside belong to?"
"Ow! It's yours to do with as you please."
Olivia spanked until Alex's bottom was a delicious shade of red and then she reached over, detached Alex's handcuffs from the headboard, and picked Alex up to cuddle her. Still wearing the blindfold with her wrists handcuffed together, Alex snuggled down into Olivia's arms. Her bottom burned, but she hadn't shed a single tear.
"Give me your tongue, baby."
Alex obediently opened her mouth and Olivia placed something on her tongue. Alex beamed when she immediately recognized it as a piece of chocolate, a reward for being a good girl. Alex felt Olivia tenderly kissing her forehead and then Olivia gently removed Alex's blindfold, restoring her sight and officially ending the scene.
"That's my good girl. You did it." Olivia praised with a proud smile as she gently released Alex's wrists from the handcuffs, set the blindfold and handcuffs aside, and continued to cuddle Alex on her lap, gently rubbing the blonde's spanked bottom to soothe the pain.
The next morning, Alex crawled out of bed, careful not to disturb her sleeping Mistress, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast as usual. She went to the coffee pot to make Olivia's coffee and found a note in Olivia's neat handwriting.
Good morning, sweetheart! I hope you slept well. Go ahead and make the coffee and have a cup if you like, but don't make breakfast, we are going out to eat this morning. Take a shower and get dressed in the clothes I've laid out for you. If I am still sleeping after you are dressed, kneel at the foot of the bed by my feet and wait for me to wake up. I love you always.
Alex set the note aside and made the coffee as she was told to do, pouring herself a cup. Afterwards, she showered and dressed in the clothes that Olivia had laid out for her. She walked back into the bedroom and found Olivia still sleeping, so she quietly dropped to her knees at the foot of the bed by Olivia's feet and waited, content to watch her beloved Mistress sleep. She wasn't sure how much time had passed when Olivia finally began to stir. Olivia opened her eyes and smiled a tired smile when she saw her sweet little submissive obediently kneeling by the bed.
"There's my good girl." Olivia praised as she sat up in bed and flung her feet over the side. She held out her right hand and Alex kissed her hand in greeting.
Alex waited while Olivia showered and dressed, then she followed Olivia to the kitchen and poured her coffee.
"Did you already have your coffee this morning, sweetheart?" Olivia asked.
"Yes, Ma'am." Alex replied.
"Good girl. As our outing today, I thought it would be nice to go out for breakfast, and when we get home we'll work on a little more training." Olivia explained.
"Yes, Ma'am!" Alex smiled.
