Chapter 1 Graduation

Here I am at my graduation gazing around smoking a cigarette waiting for the time to go up and receive my diploma. I am graduating 2 years early with a master in Engineering technology directly related to A.I and a master in business management. I have been sitting here for 2 hours waiting to give my valedictorian speech. I scan the crowd casually looking for Paul. And out of the corner of my eye I see him. His olive skin colour, wearing Oakley sun glasses, messy short thick black hair, broad shoulders in a delicious Black pine strip Gucci suit, and kissable lips that I haven't had the pleasure of tasting. He notices me and removes his sunglasses and revealing his dazzling bright, dreamy hazel eyes with his lustrous smile that sends shivers down my spine. I can't believe that our 'arrangement' has lasted three. And it all started with me walking into Prestige Noir.

During exam week I felt like I needed some kind of relief. Now don't get me wrong I am a attractive female with long wavy brown hair, brown eyes, and curves in all the right places. But I didn't have time that is need do have a relationship and I was not a one night stand type. So I thought the best thing to do was get a small vibrator. And the closest sex story was called Prestige Noir. I could not believe what I seen when I walked in. There where things that a small town girl didn't know existed. I knew about some sexual devices but here they had things like shackles, handcuffs, benches with holes though them, collars and leashes. I was looking at something called a flogger (whip) when I hear someone ask me if I need any help. When I turn around I was in aww of this Native American man with short think black hair.

He looked bored. Not happy with my presence. So I put my head down so I didn't have to make eye contact. I notice he stiffens so I back up and clear my throat. "What do people do with all this stuff?" waving me hand in the air at the shelves of varies items. I take a chance to peak at him there was something about his demeanour that has changed. It was like he was dominant all of a sudden. "Well the top would us these varies items to punish the bottom." What? He must have gotten the point that I didn't know what he was talking about cause. "The top is the person who dominates and the bottom is the person who is submissive during the time of ... Play"

"Play what?" he smirked up at me but his demeanour didn't change. "D & S" I waited for him to explain. He laughed and I blush and up my head back down. "Dominance and Submission relationships" he went on to explain the lifestyle and took the time to show me and explain the different types of equipment. We spent about 2 ½ hours. "How would one go about trying something like this out?" he gave me a long look up and down "how about we have coffee."

He said he would be right back and this is the first time I noticed his clothes he was wearing a dark blue suit with a white dress shirt with dress shoes. He looked to well dressed to work in this kind of store. When he retired he told me his name is Paul I told him my name was Bella.

There was a coffee shop around the corner I kept my head down as we walked. "So what did your boss say when you told him you were going of a coffee?" as we took our seats. He laughs "I am the boss actually the CEO of about 45 BDSM stores across North America. I was just going over some paper work for the store when I saw you." I chock on my coffee "I am so sorry I didn't mean to bother you. I hope I am not keeping you from getting work done."

"Not at all, one of the best things about coming in to the different stores in to help people to pursue the lifestyle and enlighten them by answering there questions. I my self participate in this type of play." I was shocked. He was very well dressed and I would never have guess if I seen him walking down the street he was into that kind of stuff.

He noticed my shock and laughed "just because I am a wealthy and powerful business man doesn't mean that I don't have my moment but in my relationships I am the Dom. I have some power issues. "Actually I am looking for a sub. And I think that you may just be what I am looking for."

I was intrigued this is a whole new thing for me. He went on to ask me questions. I told him about how I don't have any family since my parents died my last year of high school in a car accident a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and they didn't have a chance so I put all my time into my studies and did nothing else. I told him I am going to Massachusetts Inst of Technology on a full scholarship to get my masters in engineering with a minor in business management. Was on the deans list and hoping to be the valedictorian which I shouldn't have a problem because of the scholarships I didn't have to work and was able to put all my times into my studies. He told me about him self how it all started with one store and he made sure he got everything that a couple could want to enjoy this kind of play things that other store don't carry. Then over the last 6 years his business had boomed. He is the process of opening a few stores in Europe. Telling me about special party that are my invite only and how a lot of powerful people enjoy the D &s lifestyle. Then he asked me the million dollar question "are you interested?" and with out even thinking I said yes.

The first year was spent teaching me how to be a sub. We had our contract soft and hard limits and his expectations of me. He introduced me to different things for punishment and pleasure and was patient and caring. Then he asked me to move in. I accepted but we agree that if the collar was not on then he wasn't my master he was Paul. The house was amazing. He had 2 master bedrooms with master bathroom, 8 guest rooms, 4 additional bathrooms, kitchen with everything a person could want, game room, TV room, a library, indoor and out door pool, sitting room, 2 offices, tennis courts, a gym, a garage with expensive cars, and the Toy Box

The toy room is where we did most of our D &s play. Shackles, handcuffs, whips, queening stools , spanking benches, leashes, bed. And more! I had the other master bedroom. It has a two door entrance that opens to a sky blue sitting room with lavender couch, love seat and coffee table. I took out the big screen tv and but a shelf in with my favourite books and my textbooks. I also have a computer desk to do my home work and for my laptop even though I do my homework in my office. Then you walk though another door and you see a king size canopy bed with lavender bed spread with matching pillow and sky blue walls on the left side of the bed is the walk in closet already stocked and organized. On the right side of the bed is the master bath. It had a pink marble counter top and floor with a shower and a separate Jacuzzi tub. When I would come on the weekend I would stay in one of the lower guest rooms I have always wondered why I wasn't staying there.

Living with Paul was a lot different then seeing him on the weekends. There was a staff of 11 at the house and I was in charge when he was on business. He was always giving me money to buy my self things and for food. He refused to accept and money for anything keeps saying I am a student to just work on my studies. To the out side world we were just another everyday couple but there was more to us. We have a vary intense and trusting relationship there is no one I trust more or who's opinion I valued. He was there in every way he would proof read my essays, even if he was away on business I could call him anytime. He had been away on business a lot trying to get the paper work through to open the stores in Europe and was only home about a week a month and I got lonely. So I bought two puppies 6 months after I moved in. Rottweiler's a boy named Lestat and a female named Akasha. They slept with me at night and were vary protective when Paul wasn't home.

Two years after we met he wanted me to move in to his room. I politely declined. I didn't feel that way about Paul he was a great master always vary attentive when he was home but that is why one of my hard limits it kissing on the lips that's to personal for me. I liked how relationship the way it was like two room mates except when my collar on. He was disappointed and was looking for more. But he respected my decision and said he would take what he could get.

So here I am 3 years later from my first meeting with Paul at my graduation bored out of my mind playing with the collar that Paul gave me last night that had rubies around it and Paul being supportive as always. Even postponed his trip so that he could be there for support, since my parents are dead and I had no other family to be there for me.

But things have changed in the last 24 hours in a way I would never have predicted. And I know that my time with Paul is now limited. And that once I remove the collar I will never be putting it back on for a lone time if ever again and that the arrangement is about to change all because of one person and his name is James.
