Thread: Wandering in the Night [RA and Chanti]

RE Never Alone RA and Chanti Leah saw his surprise when she asked if they could have their sessions in her apartment. God, he thought she was a complete slut. She wanted to explain she didnt trust him enough to be alone in his house yet. But she couldnt afford a hotel room, and damned if she was going to ask him to pay for one. Money was a precious, precious thing. He wasnt rich if he was a maintenance man at a hotel chain. Perhaps he could get free rooms, but she didnt know that and it would have been awkward asking. It was simpler to just ask him to come to where she felt safest her own home. But the explanations would have been even more awkward than asking him if he got free hotel rooms, so she said nothing even as she cringed deep inside at the thought of what he must think of her. She hid a grimace at his phrasing. I only work one-on-one Like she was a job. Like their sessions were work meetings. The first partnership Ugh. She didnt expect romance, she reminded herself. This was about exploring boundaries. Exploring her sexuality. How many times had she read not to expect her first dom to be her last one? How many times had she read that she would go through many doms before she found the one right for her? This WAS basically a business arrangement. But to have it discussed as one so openly wasdisheartening. Her eyes flicked to his curiously when he mentioned the last relationship. He was hiding something there, she was certain of it. But what? What kind of complications had there been? Had she gotten pregnant, and he didnt want to be a father? Had she cheated? Had she god forbid gotten hurt? She wanted badly to ask, but it wasnt appropriate. It was his past, and she had no business asking. Really she didnt have any business asking anything about his past relationships in her opinion, but nearly all the Questions to ask your new dom lists had that one on it. She liked how he emphasized that she tell him about things she did or didnt like. That was important to her, that she feel comfortable enough to say that. She flashed an answering grin at his little joke, just a hint of impish mischief dancing in her eyes. She liked that the feeling of anticipation. She wanted desperately to know what those rules were. She hoped he wasnt TOO strict. He didnt seem to be, not with that little joke he made. She didnt think she would like a dom who, like some she had read about, never allowed their subs to look at them. Or made them ask permission to touch them all the time. That seemed boring. She had a sudden mental image of bouncing into Blaines lap with a giggling smile, and her eyes dropped as another flush stole across her cheeks. She considered his question for a long moment. II guess the most important thing is to be patient with me. You already know Im not that.umm.experienced. I am forgetful too, and I get distracted easily. So if I break a rule its not cause I mean too, its either I forgot or got distracted. Speaking of distractions. The smiling waitress was back with salad and breadsticks. Leah was silent while the cheese was grated over the salad. Only when the waitress was gone did she continue, piling the salad on her plate and selecting a breadstick. Also.. She took a deep breath, a pink blush spreading over her cheeks and down her neck. This seemed a very awkward time to say this, but she needed to get it out. Can I have my own rules? If so, can we make it a rule that there is always light on? It doesnt have to be a normal light, just a little nightlight will do. ButIm more comfortable with one on. In truth, she HAD to have one on. No light on would immediately result in a safe word. But she didnt want to let on how important it as to her. Every room in her tiny apartment had an overhead light, at least one lamp, and a nightlight. She would never be alone in the dark again.
